Change the batch file by adding '-e txt' to the second line. That's what did it for me.

Im having the same probs sharksfan did. Can you be more specific about---

2. Edit the properties of the shortcut.
3. In the box which says "Target" add the option you want (just as you would in run.bat).

So far I've just made a shortcut and put it in the hand history folder.

Right click the shortcut.

I right clck the shortcut. then properties and then what?

thanks

Then just as I mention in the other post, you will see a TextBox appear with a label called "Target". Just add your options onto the string which is already in this TextBox", eg:

"C:\FPHG\FreePHG.exe" would become:

"C:\FPHG\FreePHG.exe" "-d 250"

If you wanted a delay of 250ms rather than the default, or:

"C:\FPHG\FreePHG.exe" "-d 250 -e txt"

If you wanted a delay of 250ms and have FPHG output the hands using ".txt" as the extension.

PS: The examples above assume you installed FPHG to a folder on drive "C:" called "FPHG", you may have it installed in another folder, but the same idea applies.

I think you need to delete the 2nd set of quotes after the ...exe", around the parameters:

"C:\FPHG\FreePHG.exe" -d 250

For some reason it has been annoying me that FPHG doesn't have a nice icon, like the other applications jukofyork has written, so I decided to make one.
I basically took the icon DollarToBB and made it blue.

Get it here:

You use it by right clicking the shortcut and chose properties. Then there should be a button called something like "change icon", click that and navigate to where you saved "my" icon.

Is there an advantage to keeping the datatbases seperate in PT? 1 for your play and 1 for PHG hands? What is everyone else doing?
Thanks

I do, just so my playing database doesn't get cluttered and slow down from mined hands.

While running freePHG w/ 8 open tables it consumes 10-40% of my cpu. This is more than PT, PAHUD or MTH. Are there any options to reduce the load? I'm using the default settings and have installed the freePHG folder in my PP hand history folder. I'm using a 3 year old dell lattitude D600: 1.6 GHz, 512 MB RAM.

Thanks for any help.

Try using this command line:

FreePHG.exe -o -d 3000

PS: There is most likely gonna be a new version of FPHG done sometime over the next few weeks (which uses a new method and should have almost 0% CPU load). Please note though that I just don't have much time atm, so bumping wont make it get written any quicker... It will get done when I get some time to work on it.

PPS: Sorry if that sounded a bit harsh (it wasn't directed at your post). It's just people keep bumping stuff over and over again, when I don't have time to work on my poker projects atm - I do have a huge ToDo list for each project and hopefully I will get some time to update FPHG and the others sometime soon.

i'm having trouble getting to the website to download it... can someone please provide an updated link... thank you

http://www.jukofyork.com/freephg.htm is it's normal home, but the DNS server for jukofyork.com seems to have gone down (my little brother is fixing it atm, so hopefully it will be back up soon...).

Juk

i appreciate the quick response... looking forward to trying out the software, thx again.

Thanks very much for the quick reply. I look forward to the new version (no pressure, no bumbs ).

When I try to load the hand histories in PT they won't show up. It occurs to me that i could just copy and paste into a txt file but is there a better way?

oh i see. I have to use command "-e txt" , but how do i enter a command?

Create a shortcut to freephg.exe, right click, properties, edit the command line.

Ok, i created the shortcut. I go to properties and it has 'target' and 'start in'. Target is the one im supposed to edit? It says "C:\Program Files\PartyGaming\PartyPoker\HandHistory\Vegas27\F reePHG_v0_06b\FreePHG.exe"

I tried "C:\Program Files\PartyGaming\PartyPoker\HandHistory\Vegas27\F reePHG_v0_06b\FreePHG.exe-e txt"

and

"C:\Program Files\PartyGaming\PartyPoker\HandHistory\Vegas27\F reePHG_v0_06b\FreePHG.exe"-e txt

and it just keeps saying path is invalid. what do i need to do?

"C:\Program Files\PartyGaming\PartyPoker\HandHistory\Vegas27\F reePHG_v0_06b\FreePHG.exe" -e txt

You need a space between the " and the -e.

This is not a bump
New CPU oddity:

When datamining w/ out playing I am running:
FreePHG.exe -d 3000 -6max -0
iwitness
PT: generic import: hhf going to bogus .exe program folder

W/ 11 tables open, over 2 hours, cpu use stays stable, 1-30%

I then restart my confuser and play. In addition to the above programs (minus iwitness), i'm running:
MTH
PAH
Sixth sense

I open 4-6 tables, cpu is fine. Over the course of the next 90 minutes I open and closes many tables and am playing at 5 (that I opened early) while mining 5 others, and soon the cpu is getting pegged every few seconds and everthing slows way down. I close sixth sense and observed tables, yet cpu is still getting hammered . The most intensive programs now are Party and PT, which were fine early. It appears that these programs are increasing their demand over time while I'm playing, but not when datamining.

Does this have something to do with the accumulation of more and larger .hhf in the party folder (i.e., my hands over 90 minutes)? If so, would setting freephg to convert hhf to text help? I think this would mean that both observed and played hands would be saved to the same PT database, which is ok.

Any advice? Thanks!

Tera

I cant really see an explanation, but even for me Party seems to be running badly lately (even for datamining). I used to be able to mine 3 clients without too many problems, but recently just 2 clients maxes my CPU.

It could be Party's mem leak or it could just be Party being Party (the monster slider is a classic example of Party's coding).

PT might get slower and slower as the .hhf files get bigger (it it saved a file pointer and did a seek at the start of each cycle then .hhf size wouldn't be a problem), but I'm not sure how PT is implemented. It could be worth a try.

re: PT's importer

as I understand it the lightning bolt importer is sensitive to file sizes, the party specific importer is not.

Cool (I never knew that!), this could explain some of the problems I've had in the past then.

Juk

The problem, I think, with the party importer is that it doesn't recognize .hhf files. So how do you get observed HH? Change them to text in freepgh and let them get stored in the same access file as your hh?
