is there a feature to auto click yes when you are triying to leave a table so you dont have to answer yes to the, are you sure question.

????????

I really like the idea of stack management. What I would like is to define the location of my stacks and have rules for what goes in each stack. For instance a sng player might like the following: players>4 in stack A, players =3 or 4 in stack B, players = 2 in stack C. Tableninja would then follow the rules and move the tables accordingly.

Is there anything setup in the program that allows you to sitout if the game goes < a certain # of players and closes the tables once you sitout? Or does everyone just closes the game first chance they have?

It should already function like this in Windows Vista with an Aero theme. On other systems this is unfortunately just not technologically possible due to a limitation in the Windows operating system.

Great, glad to hear you like the program. If the lag becomes anything of a problem disabling frames on the Table Control tab should eliminate it.

Yeah I have been brainstorming possible UIs for this type of thing. I have a few ideas that I think might work well. We'd really like to make stacking accessible as wide a group as possible so we want it to be easy to configure.

If you use the "Close Table" hotkey, or the "Close all tables" hotkey from the annoyances tab it will auto-click yes on the pop-up.

Right now there is not a feature to automatically close that pop-up when you close the window manually, but that is something we can add.

I've had a bunch of ideas along these lines, sorting by players, blind size, what street the action is on, etc.

I think there is the potential for some very cool stuff.

When I play, I hit the "Sit out next BIG blind" hotkey any time I see a table with too few players.

However, there is nothing currently that automatically reads the number of players and starts the "Sit out next BIG blind" function and then closes the table once you sit out. This is a cool feature idea and I've added it to my list (although it might be a bit tough).

Anyways there are a bunch of great suggestions in here thanks guys.

Before everyone gets their hopes up too high though, I want to warn you all that the next update is going to be almost entirely improvements to our infrastructure, behind the scenes code, and documentation. We have been adding features non-stop for the last 4 months, and we need to take the time to go through and consolidate things. This is going to pay dividends far in to the future and allow us to really expand the program, but I don't want everyone to think there will be a ton of hot new features out in a few weeks.

I've writing every suggestion we get down, so they won't be lost or forgotten.

Thanks

automated pot betting isn't working for me when there's a raise in front of me. it always makes it a dollar too small. ie at .50/1.00 someone raises to $3, i'm on the button and TN sets my bet amount to 9.50, not 10.50.

Also, I hotkeyed my right mouselick button as the left button, but my mouse has to be over the table for it to work, otherwise it just rightclicks; I know in other AHK programs I don't have this problem, and it will only rightclick when I turn the AHK off (which is what I like). Any way to do this with TN?

Ok, that sounds good. how about in the mean time we can set up border colors with our own settings? That way when I raise a hand my border turns green. When I call a hand my border is green. When I limp a hand my border is red.

That seems doable doesn't it? Because the action will be already presented on the street.

Thanks!

Has anyone had success using a game pad with Table Ninja? I've got a Logitech G13 and cannot get it to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

All I can tell you is try out xpadder, it's freeware. I have a Logictech cordless Rumblepad 2 and it works great with xpadder. I originally tried setting up my my gamepad with Joytokey as recommended by the TableNinja documentation.

However, with Joytokey I could not get my d-pad or two joysticks to work with Tablenina. It only worked for the basic JoyX buttons (8 or those on my gamepad). Also, I could not even get Tablenina to work at all with the original profiler program that comes with the Logictech gamepad. I should mention that these problems were using a much earlier version of TableNinja.

Bottom line, xpadder is working great with the current tableninja on my gamepad.

Hmm, I *think* we could do this. As long as you took the action using a TableNinja hotkey it would be easy. If you manually clicked a button or used another programs hotkeys it might be difficult as the next table in the action queue would instantly jump into the foreground when you acted, but as long as you used a TableNinja hotkey this actually should be quite doable.

I responded to your email with some suggestions for this, but it would be great if someone using the gamepad might have some advice for making this work.

The bet-sizing issue is a known issue and one we are working on. Currently if your cold-reraise someone the pot-size we calculate will be very slightly off. This is explained in more detail in our FAQ. In the mean time an easy work around for pre-flop 3betting is to use the # of BB + # of BB per limper (setting this to 3.5+1 is exactly like 100% pot) and then setting your %Pot preflop default bet to something slightly higher (like 112%). This will cause your opens to and preflop 3bets to be the correct 100% pot size.

For the right-click issue. The "General" tab has a "Don't pass on right-click from hotkeys when a table is targeted" option in the bottom left corner which you can check and will cause the program to behave like you want. The trade off is you will not be able to use the right click in outside programs while a table is targeted.

Thanks

I'll give xpadder a shot. Thanks Acesfull


edit to include: Tarath, thx for the email

what does purchasing give me that the trial does not?

oh, and i tried it out tonight. some features i really enjoy. excellent. still some lag though. feels like it steals focus, and then stalls...not sure what's up with that.

Right now purchasing gives you nothing the trial does not. In the not to distant future we will end the beta and then you will only be able to use the program if you purchased it. We will give ample warning a few weeks before ending the beta.

If you're experiencing lag you could try disabling the frames (particularly if you stack they are not all that important and they use a fair amount of resources). From the type of lag your describing it also might be that TableNinja is having to try scraping the pot repeatedly. I would make sure that your HUD is not covering the pot-box in any way.

Hope this helps,

Tarath

Tarath,
Couple things.

1) Give me either a hotkey to clear the betting window or just a checkbox option in table control to automatically send all numpad input to the betting box. I'm still using StarsHotKeys to do this and i'd like to eliminate it (since it & #2 are the only thing i use it for).

2) I use Table Under Mouse with bring to foreground & jump mouse to cycled tables checked running Aero on Vista. Whenever a table activates it jumps the mouse to a position on the table that has a HUD panel on the same exact spot, therefore none of the hotkeys work until i manually move the mouse off of the HUD panel. Make an option to specify the coordinates on the screen that the mouse jumps to when tables are activated OR just make it dead center on the table. When i use StarsHotKeys you see TN jump the mouse to where it does then SHK jumps it to the middle of the table, so it works for me now using both apps but with TN alone i have to manually move the mouse.

Thanks

This is a great application with a lot of potential and the tech support has been top notch.
I would and have bought the product just to show my support and appreciation for the effort put in my Tarath and team.

We can definitely fix both these things. I hadn't considered that its important that the mouse jump location be somewhere that you'd never put your HUD, but this is obviously very important. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks I really appreciate it

Hi,
nice tool, but when can I use the Stars Slick Theme?

I'm sure this has already been answered, but thread is long.

I would be using FTS as well as this, if I have 'activate table under mouse' on both of them and am using all the same hotkeys, will I be acting on both tables at once or will I automatically not be able to act on any stars tables when my mouse is on a FT table and vice verse (which is what I want)?

haven't ever had a problem running both FTS and TN with the table under mouse

We do plan to add Slick theme support but it may be a couple months.

Things all should work smoothly as you want. TableNinja completely ignores hotkey input unless you are targeting a PS table in the "Table Under Mouse" mode and I believe that FTS does the same.

Tarath

One other thing, why can't I make 'Check' and 'Call' the same button? Is there a way around this?

edit: Nevermind, I see the click buttons by location.

The call hotkey will also check if checking is possible. For details on exactly what the hotkeys do you can hover your cursor over them and a little tool-tip with an explanation will pop-up

Thanks

Tarath

Thx for the help, now here's a couple more questions for you

I have 'automatically close single OK button popups' checked, but when I try to close a table i still have to click 'ok' to leave.

I tried multitabling for the first time with TN and my other programs partially freeze up. When it freezes, the only program I can click on and do stuff with is stars, and sometimes I can't even click on a different table on the taskbar or do anything with the stars lobby. However, I can always act on tables that require action. Other programs that freeze up don't do anything at all, I just can't click on them. I stack tables, run vista with the hyper simple theme and don't use vista's 'aero' theme. The only way for me to unfreez my other programs is to cntrlaltdel and brink up the task manager (although I never do anything with the task manager. maybe just cntrlaltdeleting and then clicking cancel clears it up too).

The close single OK popups only closes pop-ups that have just one OK button, the "Are you sure you want to leave popup" has an OK button and a no i dont want to leave button so it isn't closed. If you use the "Close Table" hotkey or the "Close all tables" hotkeys these popups are automatically closed as part of the table closing process.

The freezing you're describing sounds like a very rare bug that a few people have encountered when they assign a mouse button to one of the cycle tables hot-keys. We've only had two or three people ever describe this kind of behavior but they were both able to fix it by making sure not to use mouse buttons for any of the hotkeys on the Table Control tab.

Also, assuming your computer has a reasonably good graphics card and your not using the basic edition of vista, I highly recommend using TableNinja in the Aero theme. There aero theme is so much more powerful, and one of the great things about TableNinja is that it really takes advantage of the power of the Aero theme in ways that other programs do not.

Hope this helps, if the freezing issue persists, email me at support@alxsoftware.com and I can help you out.

I hope future version support "Windows 7"
It doesnt work on Win 7

I know there are people using the program with Windows 7. I believe it just requires having the permissions set correctly (sort of like how you must run as administrator in windows vista).

I'll try and get you more info on this,

Tarath
