FTSC user, but first time trying PokerShortcuts.

I'm running PokerShortcuts as admin (on Vista obv.)and not using Aero theme.

I'm using the Hypersimple theme for Stars and can't seem to get PokerShortcuts to resize my PS tables correctly. The same resizing feature works fine for FT, but I get a table that looks like this for PS:



In the "Calib" tab:
I've calibrated the felt color.
The current PS them is set to "PSTableHyperSimple"

In the "Table 2" tab:
I set it to Table Size - F and set F to "1,000"

Any other settings I need to double check to get the PS table sizing to work?


Thanks.

That's bad Stars sucks for AHK.
Is this impossible with AHK?
Apparently TableNinja can do it. It's not AHK though and I don't know how they do it.
It's pretty crucial for people who stack tables imo. Who gets timed out with a tiled layout?
On FTP I only ever need it for tables I don't see.

I am a FTShortcuts user and have been using Tableninja for stars. I downloaded the beta and registered today to try it on stars. At the moment is seems really slow. For example when you mouse over a table to activate it, its almost as if takes a full second to activate. It then takes another second to set the bet amount. FTshortcuts was always instant, and Tableninja is indeed instant. If you haven't tried Tableninja, download the demo and compare performance on stars. I was only playing 1 table too. Until you can get the performance near realtime, i think i'll wait.

feature request: table ninja allows you to click on a seat in stars and auto-buyin. I couldn't find an option to do that in shortcuts.

Users who need more complicated setups could then go the image capturing route.
I thought about doing it this way, but the filtering on Stars seems to be a little "course", meaning that I wasn't always able to filter to just the tables I wanted. If you and others would like to have an option to just open the tables starting at the top of the lobby, that would be pretty easy to implement.

I'm not able to duplicate the slowness problem here and a few of the beta testers have been playing 30+ tables. Perhaps it is some combination of settings, or an interaction with some other software. If you want to email me your PokerShortcuts.ini file, I'll try playing with your settings. Also let me know what other software you are using, and we'll see if some others are seeing the same thing.

On the Dialogs tab you can check the "Auto click on OK in the get chips" checkbox. This will buy in to the table with the default number of chips that you have configured on Stars.

Poker Shortcuts will click the I'm Back button for you if you time out, and your table is covered (the software does this by looking at the hand history file). But it looks like I need to clean up and clarify the documentation. If you enable the "Auto-click the I'm back button" on the SnG/T tab, it will do this for both tourneys and ring games.

Perhaps I should have 2 checkboxes, one for ring games and one for tourneys/sngs. Or, for ring games, perhaps the software should click the I'm back button only if the table is set to "deal me in" mode. Or perhaps the software could click I'm back only if the user timed out, and not when he manually sat out. Let me know what you think.

So try checking this box on the SnG/T tab, and verify that the software is clicking I'M back for you if you time out. Let me know.

This is usually are result of not configuring the f5 option during setup. See this:

I can't seem to get the bet size option to work correctly. I have configured the "street Bet Ring" tab like this:




But when it's my turn to act, a much smaller amount is always entered into the bet window then what should be entered in. For example on a 200NL table with blinds of $1/$2 if the action is flded to me $4 will be entered into the window instead of $7.

And I will get a smaller amoutn if there has been action in front of me as well. If there has been action in front a bet size smaller then the min. raise allowed is usually entered into the window.

This is happening the same way on both PS and FT.


What can I do to get the bet amounts correct? Thanks.

This is either an oversight or an outright lie. I seem to remember having to purchase a new license about a year ago when he went from version 2 to version 3.

It's a misinformed poster. Nano did charge yearly (small) update fees for the major version changes.

Nano - Being able to assign 3 different hotkeys is the nuts. I can fold using the keyboard, mouse button, or gamepad. So sick. Does PSC support mouse movement with analog stick, or do I need to use my joy2key script?

Since loading PSC, something happened with my FTS and it is now locked(unregistered) again. The software ID code changed? I sent an email to sales@windyhilltech.com

Yes, PSC can click the time button for you on buried tables. It can also click the I'm back button for you if you do happen to time out. As I mentioned above, I'll be adding a seperate checkbox for tourneys and ring games (for the I'm back condition).

I just added this trouble shooting tip that explains these issues in more detail:
http://windyhilltech.com/poker/ps/trouble.php#29

I also added some additional info on the Misc tab documentation, including a picture for how to cascade tables for maximum timeout protection when playing on poker stars:

We charge for a yearly major updgrade to the program. We do not charge for all the updates that we do during the year, which often adds new features and to keep the software working with the changes that Full Tilt often makes to their software.

The details have always been on our order form page.

PSC has support for joysticks built in (see the Misc tab). It will support up to 3 analog controls and the POV.

I turned 'enable joystick number' to 1 and everything seemed to work, except I could never get the cursor to move. What do I need to turn on or adjust to get mouse movement with the L3 analog stick?

It displays as JoyXY0, etc

I have a feeling I may want to stick with joy2key so that I can not only move my mouse during play (for wait lists and other multi-tasking) but I will need to be able to left mouse-click on those wait list yes/no dialog's and other things.

This is usually a problem with the software not being calibrated to your table felt colors. See the Calib tab in the middle of the tab.

If that doesn't do it, try double checking all the steps on the install/configuration page:
http://windyhilltech.com/poker/ps/config.php

I don't see any problem with your settings on the Street bet tab.

Since you didn't say, I assume you didn't run through the Install/Config steps here:
http://windyhilltech.com/poker/ps/config.php

I also assume you are using a standard table with no modifications.

Give all the details about what you have set you have done, what type of table theme, what poker site, etc. There are so many possibilities for what your setup is, you'll need to provide some details.

When you make a setup like mine:
STACK1 STACK2
STACK3 STACK4
(each stack with 4 tables each)
and then save that layout in Stars and load the layout by checking/unchecking Stars' custom layout thing a couple of times. It's like it scans through all the tables or something.
This is what it constantly looks like with Poker Shortcuts running.
I don't know if this is related or the effect just looks similar.
Any idea what this could be?
Has anybody experienced something similar with a similar setup?
Hey Respawn,

Which Hud was it that was visible for a few milliseconds? Shortcuts or HEM

I'm not sure what you mean by:
" This is what it constantly looks like with Poker Shortcuts running.

3) A new option to "auto-click ok in get chips window only if you manually clicked the get chips PSC shortkey" would be perfect for me, but if it's not helpful for others I can live without it and click the OK manually.
4) A new option to "do not move the get chips window upward ~150px" would take away the wasted 1-3 seconds (because the moving is not instantaneous) and the missclicks that happen when I try to hit the buttons in their original location .


LONG post below....
[removed for brievity in quoted area]

Thank you for your detailed discssion of new feature suggestions. I appreciate new ideas as most new feature enhancements come from users!

1. I believe one other user said they were seeing a slow response in this area. I'm not able to duplicate this, as my response times are very quick here... Would it be possible to set up a team viewer session with you so I could see this. Please email me at our support email address on the contact web page. There must me some set of unique settings or some interaction with another piece of software.

2. Try this test... open 2 full tilt tables (you don't have to sit down). If this option is checked (and so are all the blue items on the Table 2 tab), then as you move your mouse between the 2 tables, the software will activate each table as you move your mouse to it. If you uncheck the bottom blue box, then moving your mouse over the table will not activate the table.

3. I can understand your need, and I will add this to the wish list.

4. The software moves this dialog box up, because it needs to see if the hero is seated already. Sometimes the dialog box is large (and the table is small) and it covers up the area of the table that the software looks to see if the hero is already seated. I believe the software waits until there isn't any pending action at the tables before clearing this dialog box, so as not to interfere with your clicking on the table... do you play with stacked tables? that is more interfering, of course, when a dialog box pops on top.

Thanks to everyone that is pitching in to help answer questions in this forum! It has allowed me to work more on getting new releases of the software out to you.

I think I have read through everything and responded to posts that needed a response from me... If I missed your question please ask again or point back to your post.

If you see things that need to be added to the troubleshooting page, or if you discover a solution to something that isn't listed there, let me know and I'll add a new item. I try to keep that page updated with questions that people often have.

Hey fozzy,

As you discovered, Shortcuts does not support moving the mouse with the joystick. It does supports moving the joystick to act as hotkeys that can be put in for keystrokes (as well as using the various joystick buttons).

Hey, thanks for replying to all of our posts!
It was the HEM HUD for the tables behind the top tables. Every couple of seconds those HUD boxes from the tables in the background flashed and layed on top of the top table's ones. Not for long, fractions of a second really, but it happened very frequently (every 3 seconds or so) and was driving me a little crazy.
It went away when I closed Shortcuts. I assumed Shortcuts "looks" at the tables on the bottom of the stack or something to cause this. I figured that's why it looks like when you execute the custom layout to sort the tables.

Regarding the time bank clicker: I realize it clicks "I'm back" on tables in the background but is it at all possible that it will click "Time" on tables that aren't on top?

I'm a long time FTS user.

The street bets only work sporadically for me.

The issue isn't even in the automatic part, it even effects it if i bind a key to manually enter my street bets.

When the action is to me, it will often just say 0.0 in the betting box, or some times double the big blind with a ".0" after. Which is strange because i only play tournaments, where there are no decimals. If i push the street bet size key, nothing happens.

This never happened to me in FTS, and yes my felt is calibrated. :P
