To check out the betting problem you are seeing... try turning on the debug mode (on displays tab) and see if there is something that the software is not able to "see" about your table (when you are on the flop and wanting to bet pot). If you could, do a screen capture of your table with the debug window and send/post for me. I'm guessing that this is some table mod issue, or calibration issue, as I haven't been able to duplicate any problem like this... but need to dig deeper here.

Using a 100% Pot bet on the fixed tab should be the same as clicking on the full tilt pot button. If not, give me an example of what bet size you get instead (give all the details of what action has occurred on the table, and pot size, etc.).

Haven't been able to get the background change to work... Whenever the switched backgound is showing, then many things that the software reads from the table are no longer calibrated, which causes errors in what the software reads at that point with the switched background.

Wow, OMG this is a great program! I have been waiting for something like this for a long time. I just programmed the whole beta version and I haven't found one thing that doesn't work yet. I just calibrated my USB Logitech controller to this program and it is great. It worked awesome, I just tested it in a play money table. No more mouse or keyboard. I can't believe it. I have tried about 20 AHK scripts before and never got one to work ever. I use to spend hours trying to program them with nothing to show. But with this I got it up and running with every control working in about 20minutes. I went through every option. I can't wait to buy the full version next month.

Nano,
Re: my issue.

Debug-Mode shows that call seems to always be = "0" which I assume has to do with the desaturated fold/call/bet buttons I have on my table mod. This doesn't seem like much of an issue however as I don't use anything in Pshortcuts that requires knowing the call amount.

Debug-Mode also shows that, when I do have the error, the pot-size on the flop is "0". The funny thing about this is after the flop (when the pot-size = 0) if I check and villain bets, Pshortcuts starts reading the pot-size fine.

I use this mod:


I modified the player boxes (so Pstcts can read stacks, etc), I use a pure black felt, and I use different playing cards. I have calibrated Pshortcuts with the felt color.

I'd like to know how to do this. Thanks!!

Also I have no problems at all with FullTiltShortcuts - so whatever it is, it's only a problem with Pshortcuts.

Also, feature request: Is it possible to add a hot-key to actually hit the pot-button, not just bet the amount that's in the pot? This would be very useful for me.

I want to use this but do not want to use trial as I multitable. I do not own FTShortcuts and do not wish to buy FTS just to get a beta unlock key and then have to pay for PShortcuts when it goes final.

What immediate options do I have? Can I not just pay you now and get regular updates including final release?

Margaud,

If you purchase FTSC now, not only will you receive a free upgrade to Pokershortcuts when it's officially released, but you'll also save a few bucks. FTSC is $30 and Pokershortcuts will be $40 when its released.

So it's a no brainer to buy FTSC now for $30 if you know you want Pokershortcuts.

I'm a tard, thanks

Okay, now that I have the basics figured out i have a new issue - I configured my mouse wheel to change my bet size, but instead it scrolls the chat box up and down, no matter where my mouse is.

I've definitely never seen this before in FTS, anyone have any ideas?

That's odd, I haven't seen or heard of any problem with that feature. It should only scroll the chat box when the mouse is inside the chat box area. If you assign keys to do the increment and decrement the bet size, does that work correctly?

In order to make PSC work with other poker sites, I now have to read some information differently off the table, compared to FT Shortcuts' methods.

Non-stock buttons will prevent PSC from reading the call amount, since Poker Shortcuts reads the call amount off of the Call button. It is possible for you to capture new images for different buttons (and replace the provided images in the themes...button folder), but it is a big job. Info is provided in the theme documentation.

PSC reads the pot size off of the table. Make sure that you have "Display Pot Total" checked in the FT lobby menu Options. All of the required configuration items are listed on the config page here:
http://windyhilltech.com/poker/ps/config.php

I'm guessing the above will solve the reading the pot issue... if not, make sure that your cards are not oversized and too close to the pot digits... There needs to be at least one pixel space between the cards and the pot digits. To test this, try a large table size, as there is usually a lot of space on larger tables. If you can't see a problem with your table, capture an image of your table when the software is not able to read the pot size and send it to me... I'll check it out.

Your pure black felt shouldn't be a problem. The software just cares about the color of the pot digits.

having the Stars lobby be in huge blind people font is kind of weird, but having this amazing program more than makes up for it. thanks

Few bugs & annoyances I've discovered while playing on Stars:

• If I have both "Click on NO if Seat Available" and "Click on YES if Seat Available" checkboxes checked, it still clicks YES when the dialog box appears. If I have understood right, "NO" should take precedence over "YES". This happens on Stars, not sure about FT.
  
  (Also a feature request regarding above.. I have an AHK script that counts how many tables I have open and clicks "YES" when I have less than N tables open and "NO" after that. IMO it's better than PSC's "toggle NO" hotkey )

• I usually stack 16-20 PS tables and sometimes (~every 20-30 hands) PSC reads the pot size incorrectly. I'm 98% sure that PSC reads the pot size from the last table I acted. Maybe my table doesn't pop up fast enough due to small lag or something? Here's a screenshot from a test session.
  
  The table before this had $0.24 pot and now PSC thinks this pot is $0.24 too (even though debug display shows right pot size). This bug wouldn't be so annoying if there was some easy way to re-read the pot size. Now it interferes the 'bet %pot' hotkeys too.

• When I have lots of tables open and want to check something from the debug display, it gets so huge that it covers 3/4 of my screen and PSC can't read the tables anymore. I think it's becouse "TableOpenIDList" gets so long. Kind of hard to debug..

Also, could the "Move table to this position" features NOT send the "f5redrawtable=1" thing IF the table stays the same size. I know it's necessary when table size changes and that's why I never do that in my own AHK scripts. It's pretty much useless now becouse Stars client redraws every table and it's sooo slow and messy if you have HEM/PT3 HUD on them.

Something I noticed that is different/not as good as ninja: dialogs take a few seconds to close, whereas with ninja they are gone instantly. Things like 'you have been moved to a new table,' 'checking is free are you sure you want to fold,' etc, take a second or two to go away. Is there a way to reduce the time I have to look at these things? It could even be a user-defined number of seconds if some people prefer it this way.

I'm also having this problem.

running HEM with the program results in everything running really sluggish for me. I have a pretty decent comp and never had any slowdown problems at all with HEM prior. anyway to help improve speed?

Any idea why it can't read Page's stack size? Works fine for everyone else I've tried. Very weird.

Having some issues with the SNG opener on Stars while playing 16 tables stacked. The first 16 tables open fine but when a table steals activation away from the tourny lobby as a SNG is being opened the success rate of getting that SNG reg'd is very poor. Sometimes the process continues without a hitch but more often activity is paused til after the SNG is filled, 1) reg then occurs 15-30 seconds later, 2) tourny is filled dialog generated 3) an extended delay up to 90 seconds before next attempt. Only getting a success rate of around 50% while playing is underway.

Is anyone else using the Stars SNG opener while playing a significant number of tables? I'd be interested if others are experiencing the same thing.

It sounds like their are too many tasks that need to get done at the same time, and the sng opener is a lower priority and keeps getting bumped. I'll take a look for a solution.

Yes, that is a unique screen name that he has... There are 3 pixels from his name that are only one pixel away from stack size digits. Shortcuts does image recognition to read the stack digits, and it can tolerate 2 pixels next to the stack digits, but his screen name has 3.

If you go to a slightly larger table size, this won't be a problem. You won't find too many player's names that have this characteristic.

nano

Thanks for your detailed comments and suggestions!

I was able to confirm the problem with clicking on NO in the take seat dialog box on Stars... please try this again in the next release.

Thank you for your new feature suggestion on clicking NO (in the take seat dialog box) after X tables have been opened. I've added it to the wish list.

That is a great clue you have given me to help find the Pot reading problem. I am working on tracking that problem down.

I have removed the Lists section from the debug display, as it probably wasn't useful to any users. That will keep the debug display from expanding.

Error in documentation. Download/Install/Configuration, section 8 on FTP configuration:

The note has checked/unchecked backwards. PSC needs Display Table on Action checked; otherwise it will not auto-move the next table with pending action. FTSC auto-move works for me, with or without Display Table on Action.

got it, thanks

any thoughts on this?
thanks again for keeping up with this thread, I am for sure buying this on day 1 so it's awesome that you are working with people to get the kinks ironed out before launch

This doesn't seem to make much sense as I figure if this is what's wrong then more people would have complained about it but...

In a SnG (at least for me) on FTP, pre-flop I see the text on the table (say the pot is 423 chips) "Total Pot: 423". However, if we get to the flop this text disappears - the only thing that shows is the chips graphic and "423" next to the chips. The "Total Pot: 423" line doesn't show up again until someone makes a bet. It would seem that Pshortcuts is trying to read only from that "Total Pot: 423" line, but it can't do that post-flop before someone makes a bet as it just isn't there.

Could this be the problem Nano? Aside from that the cards are standard size, far enough away from the text, my table is calibrated, all other bases seem covered.
