Feature suggestion to make joining waitlists on full tilt 10x faster.

It feels as though this could be really easy to incorporate, but let me know if I'm off the mark.

Make it so that you can select which tables you want to join the waiting list for, and then have a go button so it can just go through the list a single time and join all the lists as it goes, or maybe even have an option to automatically join the lists of tables that meet a predefined criteria (join the lists while scanning in this case).

With the new QT commands, needing to have to scroll through the entire lobby for every table you want to join the list for seems excessive when you could do it all in one swoop.

Would be great to be able to do this on stars as well. Especially the part in bold above.

unfortunately :/

Awesome software! I have a few suggestions dunno if it's already come up or no

1. A Find Player function, on stars you can hide from the search.
2. Column sorting feature, again like stars 'Sort by', 'Then by'.

and the 'Plr/Flp' column only sorts by the first digit. so in an ascending order a single '9' is higher than say '76'

Thanks!

holy ****, winner winner chicken dinner

make this happen zandry!

This would be outstanding!

Ok, I'm aware of the the shortstack bug, it only happens on non-english version of windows, I will get that fixed in the next update. For the join waitlist problem, could you send me a message on AIM or MSN and i'll try to see if i can figure that out:

Ok, this is only happening when you have tables open though, right? I think whats happening is that if it reads the same table 3 times it thinks its at the end of the list and will stop scanning. So if you have tables open and you're clicking in them and taking focus back then it seems to send the down key to the table instead of the lobby, which would cause tablescan to keep reading the same table and stop scanning. Does that sound right?

This has been my top priority, I have tried everything and have not yet been successful, but I am still trying. I have come up with one pretty awkward solution to fix this which is to just switch focus back to the last selected table immediately after the lobby steals focus, it is not very nice, it makes the title bars flash, but it does seem to work. I may release it as an option for people to try, I am not sure, as I said it is pretty crude. But either way once I add the server side scanning which is not too far off this will be less of an issue.

- Ok, well I am adding a feature "search for player", which will open the poker client's search feature and type the players name and hit OK for you, but if you mean a function to scroll and select every table on the site looking for someone, I think that would be too time consuming. When I add server side scanning it will enable me to write some cooler options like this though
- Yes, I am adding a secondary sort column to the next update

Ok, thanks
I am doing this, the way it will work is you select as many/few tables or players as you want using Ctrl + click or Shift + click, and then you right click the selected tables and it will give you some options like "open tables", "join waiting lists", or "open & join tables". I have wasted a huge amount of time trying to get the FTP lobby to accept input without stealing focus, to no avail, so I am going to take a break and start working on some of these simpler options and I will try to have this next update out by monday.

In regards to automatically opening and joining waitlists during the scan, this is obviously a great idea but I have not wanted to do anything like this in the past because I was worried it would be considered "automatic datamining" by the poker sites and violate their TOS. But now that FTP has removed the writing of observed hands to disk, I have been wondering if this is really an issue anymore, so I will try and send some emails to the site's support and see if this would be allowed.

Yes Zandry, this sounds about right. Didn't think of it much but I'm almost positive this only happens if i scan while im playing. i don't think i ever had a problem scanning without playing.

Because of this problem, I was using SpadeEye and with SpadeEye, I believe it pause/resumes the scan everytime focus is taken away from the lobby (ex. pressing the fold button on a table.) Just an idea to possibly solve the problem? I don't know. As much as I like TableScan, unfortunately until this is resolved, i can't use it.

Hey Zandry. what about letting other developers write plugins for reading the table list without ocr? But I guess people wont need this once you have server side scanning running...

BTW, I would love this "have an option to automatically join the lists of tables that meet a predefined criteria (join the lists while scanning in this case)", too.

Ok, I can add an option to do this very easily

Are you saying you know how to read the table list without ocr

Yeah, a few days ago I started writing a tool for Full Tilt and I am able to read the table and player list without ocr. PM sent

Can you enlighten us all please ?

It was in another thread too. You have to inject a DLL and then you can use QWidgets directly.

This program is about to become bigger than jesus.

Is it approved by ftp?

Here is a page on their website which you can check:
http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/prohibited_programs.php

TableScan Turbo does not contain any of the prohibited features such as datamining or database sharing and would fall under the 3rd or 4th category of allowed programs: "3. Programs for presenting data from an individual’s personal hand history database" and "4. Programs that enhance the online poker experience without adding new functionality"

Hi

I have not been reading all post in this tread, but is there any chance that Tablescan Turbo will be supporting PacificPoker in the future?

I set it to search for tables whose vpip was 28% and higher at .5-1 and 1-2nl full ring games. It took 220s to search and it looks like the search is complete. The status is 7/171 tables; 65/1527 players, but nothing shows up. Down under status it says "scanning players" and that's not even 1/50th of the way done. Now I'm at 330s. I have it sorted by table stakes and it goes down to .10-.25 then seems to do nothing What's happening?

edit: I pressed the cancel button and now at least it's showing the tables on it's second scan through

It's not a priority at the moment but I will try to get it in eventually

It sounds like it was having trouble reading from your database, are you using PT3? If you have a big PT3 database, you should cache the database in the PT3 app and then edit your database in tablescan and choose the "Scan results from player cache only" option

Zandry: I could hug you! Nice work.

Any update on this possibly working even when Poker Shortcuts is running?
