Never mind. I found the problem. I had the fphg files seperated from the pokernow.exe. I put them all together now and all is well

Thanks again for all of the previous help.

Thanks DLizzle, this is what I needed to do. I'll get on it!

I've never datamined before and I thought I would see if this is useful for me. I downloaded FREEPHG_v0_06b. I extracted it on my desktop and ran it overnight for a while on Party.

I get these hhf files on my desktop. I renamed the extension to .txt from .hhf and I think that should solve it. Is that correct?

Should I also have logged in to Party and opened the max amount of tables? Or should I have stayed anonymous by not logging in and only using the 4 tables?

thanks

anyone?

I did this and it says [censored] like
Import Finished - 11 file(s) read - 0 new hand(s) were imported.

The tables are showing up in the mining folder...PT is accessing the mining folder..it obviously sees the 11 tables I have open..but its not importing any hand histories??

Ok I feel like a real idiot, since apparently no one else is having problems getting this up and running. But I feel like there needs to be a step by step. I've downloaded FPHG, have the window running and hands are being grabbed. However:
where are they being stored?
How do I access FPHG the 2nd and subseqent times I want to
run it?
Is there any trick to getting poker tracker to recongnize
these files, or is it as simple as 'configuring.'

Thanks alot, and let me know an email address if you'd like an neteller donation.

You can log in. Go to the beginning of this thread, which will explain how to best use this program.

FPHG was designed to save hand history files to disk.

Poker Tracker is designed to take hand history files and import them into it's internal database.

If Poker Tracker is refusing to import hand history files, then this is not the fault of FPHG; it is a Poker Tracker problem and hence the proper place for reporting this problem is here:

yeh figured it was the fphg cuz PT works fine when i want to import from tables was seated at.

It's just that Party saves the hand histories when you are seated as ".txt" and the old Party (before they removed it) saved the observed hand histories as ".hhf", so I just kept them the same as they were before hoping this would mean they would import into PT just the same as before.

I'm sorry I was a bit abrupt in my post, but I get so many questions about why PT wont import the hands every week and all FPHG is supposed to do is save hand histories (totally unrelated to PT).

Juk

so there is a way to get PTHG to save the files as .txt instead of .hhf correct?
maybe that will fix it

I know when I go into edit the run file it says soemthing
like
@echo off
then another line of info

I'll try fixing the bat file n see if that works

Yes people do use this trick, but I think that it will then mean that PT will import and store the full hand history for your observed hand histories, whereas using the ".hhf" files it is possible to just store the stats generated from the HH files making your BD much smaller (and possibly faster).

Juk

hmm maybe i'll have to ask PT support how to get it to store the .hhf info.

The reason i assume its not doing so is that it say 11 files read-0 hand simported
and the number of ring players in my ring game stats stays at 747.

yeh the .txt change did the trick
and just have the actual hh moved to a seperate folder where i delete them

thnks

Sorry to be an ass but i dont feel like searching the thread for a link to the latest version...anyone have it handy?

Thanks.

Awesome, thanks!

Juk,

Running .06b right now, and I was wondering if there (IYO) is much of an improvement running the beta. I do notice some slowdowns right now that I'm not sure are related to freePHG, but it does seem to slow significantly more as the machine continues to mine.

I think party eventually uses more and more memory, and as more hands get into memory then FPHG has to check each of them to get the hand number.

It seems like the monster update has done something bad to the Party client though, as I used to be able to have three clients running happily, but now 3/4 and everything slows down at 2.

Juk

i've been using .07b for a few weeks, 12 tables on either party or empire 24 hrs a day. its been running great and i've had no problems. it stays around 2% (sometimes spiking to at most 4%) CPU usage and 3.5 MB of RAM

Do you have it setup to just save data from observed tables ("-o"). Using that option might also help a bit (I forgot to mention that in the last post).

Juk

I think I'll give .7b a try here. It can't hurt.

Rob

There isn't much difference between v6 and v7 (or v6b and v7b) [Empire check only], but if you are using v6a before then I would try v7b, as Mogobu optimized the code in both the 'b' versions and it might be significantly faster (hence use less CPU) [still not had much feedback, but I guess alot of people are using the 'b' versions?]. Only problem is the 'a' and 'b' versions use different default parameters for timing etc, so it pretty hard to compare them atm.

I am planning on completely overhauling FPHG (and the method it uses) soonish and it should hopefully work much better then.

Juk

I just had 0.07b running for 5k hands, no troubles:

40 tables at a time:

10 user accounts, 4x party tables per acct, running DeMonster 1.2.2, SafeMine 3.0 (and of course FPHG 0.07b) on each acct.

I was using FPHG options "-p -1 -d 200 -r", since I think realtime mode should do better with split pots, not sure about this tho.

Using between 45-60% CPU at all times, nowhere near enough to impact me doing other work on the main account.

I didn't multi-user-account for FPHG before 0.07b, so I don't know if performance is better than 0.06b or no, but it seems good for me ATM.

My CPU is an Athlon64 (Single Core) @ 2.25GHz, FWIW. 1GB DDR500 RAM.

I was not importing into PT at this time, I just did that now (~7-10 minutes)


YMMV,

dave.
