PlaceMint: Window Positioning Tool - Page 20 - Poker Software -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

for those looking for a stacking/slot solution on stars, i have modified a few AHK scripts together to stack tables. i have resized stars tables to the size i would use to fit 9 tiled tables. the 'd' hotkey is the stack, the other slots are important tables to watch

Code:

; this basically splits the screen into three columns
; each letter in the grid corresponds to the hotkey 
; to move it there
;
;     |  r  | t
;  d  |_____|_____
;     |  f  | g
;-----|_____|_____
;     |  v  | b
;     |     |

here is the script:

Code:

; ==== INSTRUCTIONS ====
; 
; open tables, press 'd' to put them into the stack
; if there is a table you want to concentrate on, press
; the hotkey (r,f,v,t,g,b) to move it into that slot.
; when done, press 'd' to move back to the stack
;
; see the grid below for more details
;



; based off ## StarsStackerAlpha 
; different versions and edits by the following 2p2 posters:

;   p3rc4
;   Amerzel


; Be sure to add "f5redrawtable=1" without
; the quotes to your pokerstars user.ini
; under [options] if you want the 
; auto-resize to work properly
; (thanks to Fermion5 @ 2p2 forums)
;
; if you want to use the resize
; on my comp it redrew every table which was annoying
; see comments in bottom last function

I haven't tested it, but since PlaceMint can size windows, there is not reason to be have 2 programs doing both. If you don't want PlaceMint to size your windows, uncheck Size in the configure window for each of your windows groups.

I can't get past Error 691 either and it is not addressed in this thread. When I click on the Slots tab, all dimensioning blocks are grayed out even though "slot1.2,3 etc" can be in the next pane over.

The two of you are the only ones that have reported it. I'm not sure how this is a situation that only a small fraction of the users would be encountering. Unfortunately, I am currently in my last months of college and need to focus all my time on finishing my senior project. Once I get all that finished I can start looking into these bugs.

If you PM me an email address I can send you a copy of what the window group file should. It's not as nice as the gui i made, but the XML structure is fairly simple.

I want to make a regEX for bodog tables but they all have different titles how do I put for example these window titles together:

Palace of Auburn Hills
Buffalo (max 6)
Puritans (Turbo)

Thanks a lot

Just turn off FTS table sizing. In theory, if the size is the exact same in both programs, it should work. But there is no reason to keep FTS table sizing on if you are using PlaceMint to control your tables.

I've legitimately gotten this thing to work. One problem, its putting them on the wrong monitor, lol. How do I edit the slots to get them to the other one? I've tried huge values and negative values..

		;Send, {F5}
	}
}

Where does it place a new table opening up? What do I do if I want to make sure it's always in a slot that is not the stack, thus preventing from overlapping the active table.

Oh, and what would happen if I set the spacing between the stacked tables 0? Any problems in that?

EDIT: nm, wasn't loading the Slot template list with it.

How can i get this to work with Cereus? I have one group with Stars, FT, and cereus checked under Regular Expression in window groups settings, but it seems like only stars is cooperating.

Also, is there a way to assign size but not location?

There is a Cereus client, I thought two were keeping their own client but just sharing the network?

the two changed their own clients to be able to coexist on the same network. I used to love Pokeraide on my old monitor or when i could get it working, especially on UB since their software is so pathetic, but when the merge happened that stopped working. Somehow i got it working through the AP group, but that stopped too.

it doesn't seem like FT is working either. I have a group called Poker with 4 checks AP, FT, PS, and UB; only stars seems to work

Hi,

I am a new user of this tool. For sizing and placing pokerstars game windows it is working brilliantly and is just what I need. I cannot however get the pokerstars lobby window to re-size to fit into any of the slots that I have designed.

Please help !

Thanks

Wingman100, works for me. Are you trying to resize it to a size that the PS software doesn't allow? Post your RegEx.

CPU seems to be getting bogged down with this lately. Up around 25% of a dual core 2.5ghz.

Havent made any changes and only started to notice it recently. Is this normal when 16 tabling?

Still running 0.4 on vista. Thanks

I would look elsewhere for possible cpu hogging as PlaceMint isn't doing all that much work.

You mean v0.4 of PlaceMint? You should upgrade right now. That release was over 6 months ago and there have been 5 updates with both bug fixes and new features added.

You can add the expression I posted a few posts above if you want it to work w/ tourneys as well...

Code:

(^\D+\d{7}\)\s-\s\$\d?\.?\d+\/\$\d?\.?\d+\s-\s((NL|PL)\sHold'em|PL\sOmaha)$)|(^Tournament\s\d{7}\s-\sTable\s\d+)

I tested it out and I can see the results you are talking about. When I have time to start programing again, I will look into it.
