New AHK: StarsAssistant - Easier multitableing at PokerStars - Page 3 - Poker Software -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

2. What does "Activate urgent table" do? Pokerstars automatically puts the active table in front of the others so I dont see the need of this feature.

Someone requested it, perhaps to prevent hidding the table through other popups. But if you dont need it, just dont activate it...

No, you have to activate oit to detect all-ins (NL) or if you play FL.

Any plans to take the "auto-sit in" feature one step further and have it buy-in for the player as well?

Stars Planner does that already, fwiw.

combining scripts is very difficult, reduces performance and is inefficient on multicore systems. it also increases chances of error, and means if one function errors the entire collection will no longer work. So if UrgentTable gets stuck for some reason, BetPot, StarsPlanner and anything else "merged" would freeze up too. Hardly ideal.

Basically, there is nothing to be gained by combining scripts, other than less icons to click to start them. This of course can be reduced to one click, by running another script - TheIrishThug's TheOpener

This makes things a little more tolerable for me, when launching a poker client, tracker, multiple scripts, and other app's.

You could make a script like this for ongame.

I would be interesting in
-- Activate urgent table and remain at that table until you do the order you want.

Hi Chris, thank you for this great script. I've been playing around with it for the last couple of days. I'm using it conjuction with TimeoutHelper, Betpot, and StarsPlanner.

I unchecked the "Detect ALLINs" and "Urgent Table" options, as they may have been causing some problems.

I experimented with 20 Tables of microtournaments yesterday. At times, StarsAssistant seems to "forget" about a table that needs action. It does not move the mouse pointer to this pointer automatically (although the option is checked), and then other tables that need action pop up over the forgotten table. Only after I act on all other tables can I act on the forgotten table. Of course, if more tables need action, then I need to wait to act on the forgotten table. With many tables going, this can lead to a timeout on the forgotten table.

The forgotten is not highlighted, either.

I've read the documentation and the rest of this thread and no mention is made of a similar problem. Mention is made on the Overcards website of a fix due to focus stealing, but I have the latest script. I don't think that applies here exactly, anyhow.

I turned off the "Urgent Table" option and will experiment further today. If I'm not mistaken, this will keep the "forgotten" table on top? (That's assuming no popups, of course)

I forgot to mention: I stack all my tables on top of each other and move them to different locations on the screen as the tournies progress.

EDIT: I just discovered that the time bank is not clicked when a table is forgotten, either. I figured that was the case, but I let my time expire to test it out.

OK, I reread this thread and understand it better now that I've used StarsAssistant for some time

Two others before me had this problem, but I'm not sure if I understand why it is occuring...

Since I stack my tables on top of each other, this leads to "Detect Allins" not functioning, which in turn leads to tables not being recognized by SA and thus not gaining focus when a player is allin?

You had told the original poster that this was caused by a misread of the colors. I have not changed the standard table provided with the PS download. Could this still be a problem, or my stacking tables is the whole problem?

Thanks Chris!

Hi Chris,

Great script. I use it in conjuction with the Gamepad script, so I can multitable using just a gamepad.

However I often play multiple sites at once. Any chance you will make it work with sites like FTP, Party, Crypto or maybe give me a hint on how I detect these tables if possible? It actually already detects Crypto tables - just doesn't highlight them.

Would be great if it could work across multple sites.

Thnx

Hi

The chances are very bad, sorry. I'm much too busy at the moment.

I do quite a bit of scripting (not AHK though) myself and I have tried to adjust the script to make it work with other sites. However, I have trouble figuring out how it detects/recognizes the PokerStars window? It doesn't seem to be Winodw Title or anything like that?

Matbe you could gice me a few pointers so I could make the adjustments myself?

I would be very thankful and obviously make a donation

(which I probably should have done already

)

The tables are recognized by this function:

Code:

TableIDListStars(pid)
{
  WinGet, list, list, / ahk_pid%pid%, , Lobby
  Loop %list%
  {
    this_id := list%a_index%
    If (this_id != id)
    {
      ids = %ids%,%this_id%
    }
  }
  StringTrimLeft, ids, ids, 1
  return ids
}

To check if the table requiers an input is done in this part of the RefreshQueue sub:

Code:

  Loop, Parse, ids, `,
  {
    ControlGet, v, Visible, , PokerStarsSliderEditorClass1, ahk_id%A_LoopField%
    if ( v = 1 )
    {  
      if (!InStr(tablequeue, A_LoopField))
      {
        DllCall("QueryPerformanceCounter", "Int64 *", CurrentQPC)
        tablequeue := tablequeue . "," . CurrentQPC . "-" . A_TickCount . "_" . A_LoopField
      }
    }
    else
    {
      if ( AlternateDetection = 1 ) {
        color:=TableColor(A_LoopField)
        if ( color != tablecolor && tablecolor != "" ) {
          if (!InStr(tablequeue, A_LoopField))
          {
            DllCall("QueryPerformanceCounter", "Int64 *", CurrentQPC)
            tablequeue := tablequeue . "," . CurrentQPC . "-" . A_TickCount . "_" . A_LoopField
          }
        }
        else {        
          if (InStr(tablequeue, A_LoopField))
          {
            StringReplace, tablequeue, tablequeue, %A_LoopField%, , All
          }
        } 
      } 
      else {
        if (InStr(tablequeue, A_LoopField))
        {
          StringReplace, tablequeue, tablequeue, %A_LoopField%, , All
        }
      }
    }
  }

Dear Chris,
Thank you for spending your time to create something which benefits an unlimited amount of people by saving them time.

Why does red box that highlights an active table sometimes not move to the active one?

Also, are there any other scripts which highlight active tables?

Stars Urgent Table and another called Table Highlighter, I think.

It seems that the 'CTR R' hotkey doesn't work for auto reg in cash games for the new lobby theme in the latest stars update.

Thanks for making this, it looks great. I'm having some problems though.

I'm running Stars HotKeys and the Assistant, and sometimes I'm not clear on which table the hotkeys are working on and have had actions work on the wrong table - usually with bad results.

Should I have the "popup table whenever user action is required" option checked at Stars?

I"m running the hyper-simple tables tiled at 6max limit HE and trying to get away from using my mouse/trackball if I can. Starting to get some joint problems.

So I should have the detect all-in/fixed limit checked? I'm not understanding the distinction between activate urgent table and move mouse and how those help.

In other words, I'm lost.
