Thanks for the interest, I've completed the first (and probably last as i am very lazy) version of this simple free mod. It converts table stack sizes and bets to Big Blinds. Very useful if you multitable multiple limits.

Here it is in action (note the new version no longer affixes 'bb' to the stack sizes)



There are few minor features I want to add and slight text alignment issues, but it is completely useable in its current form and should work on all ipoker clients.

FAQ

Q: How does this work?
A: Uses api hooks (Easyhook library) to detect when the poker client draws text to the pokerwindow, intercepts the function, checks if it drawing text that corresponds to money to a table, determines the value of the bigblind on that table and converts the money value to big blinds and passes this new text to the window before the client draws it. It is written to be as lightweight as possible and only attaches to the pokerclient so only text drawn by the pokerclient is monitored.

Q:My antivirus says this is trying to do dodgy stuff! WTF man?
A: This is unsurprising as any software that tries to hook into another program will (rightfully) trigger alarms). The program only attaches to the ipoker client, and only detects command that draw to the window.

Q:How can i trust this program not to steal my monies / transmit hole cards or just generally screw me over?

A:If you just download the executable then you simply have trust me that nothing malicious is going on. Trust isn't easy over the internets, but I can assure you this software does nothing else but faithfully convert $$$ to bb's in ipoker clients.

Q:What if I still don't trust you?
A:
You are free to download the source code, check it and compile it yourself. (While impractical for most, it really is the only alternative)

It is written in C# very short and reasonbly well commented. It needs the Easyhook library (which is included) but can be downloaded seperately (just google Easyhook). Feel free to improve it, steal all ideas and make your own version or whatever it all fine by me.


How to use:

I just wanted this to be as simple a program as possible so it is unlikely i will add fancy features to it anytime soon, but if u find any bugs in it then let me know and I will fix them when i can.

Simply run the program with your poker client open and press start.

The first time you run it depending on your antivirus software you may have to OK a few things.

I advise you test it out on a few 2NL tables and play an orbit or two to make sure it is working properly on your PC. (It won't work on play money tables)

It works perfectly fine for me but I obviously cannot test every scenario.
Note if you use the textbox to type bets in then unfortunately you need to type the bets in table amounts NOT Big blinds(which is obviously completely impractical).

If you use the scroll wheel or bet pot apps then you shouldnt have a problem, but again test first before you play your standard game as it may conflict with certain betpot functionality.

It is possible to improve the program to allow textbox input in big blinds and have the program convert it to the correct value but I never use the textbox to type bets so it isn't an issue for me and if there is enough requests I will look into it when i have time, but i cannot imagine multitable grinders typing in bets :/

Hope you find it useful

IPoker BB Mod Source Code

very cool!

looking forward to trying this later today, would love for someone to do the source code checking first though, unfortunately I wouldn't even know how to begin to do that.

love the angry smiley in the title

From you writing we can steal, modify it etc however we want I assume we can also give it out to other players offsite? Will ofc give you credt as the author..

Yeah basically you can do whatever you want with it, it was initially just a simall prog for myself, but it is such low maintenance and easy to use that i figured i'd polish it up a bit and release it and its source code.

The absolute safest way (tinfoil hat) way to test any software that also has its source code available is to check the code, does what it says, download any 3rd party files it needs from the orginal source (The EasyHook library dlls) and compile it yourself.

If someone wants to do that themselves and upload it themselves as a 'safe' version then feel free to do so.

Lol, its a habit of mine, my first few posts on these forums were angry replies to something and from then on i always posted with the angry face

Nice work.

+1 for the auto convert bet amounts in the text box. I multi-table 6-9 tables and type bets on a fairly regular basis.

I know you said you have removed the bb notation, but personally I quite like it as it makes it crystal clear that the stacks have been converted etc. Maybe an option to turn on / off that notation?

There has in the past been similar apps for party and stars, but they never seem to be maintained. I personally would pay good money for an app that did this across all sites / stakes.

nice

is this for mtts/sngs as well? Deff would use this if so.

I will have a look into converting bet amounts in the textbox over the weekend.

It was my intention to have bb notation as a checkbox option since I personally prefer it, but it wasn't as trivial as i thought it would be so it is something i will add in the next version. (probably by the weekend).

For now this only works on cash tables, tourneys will be a lot trickier as blind size changes but I realise it would be very useful for tourneys so it is something I will look at, and if it is easy to add I will do it soon otherwise it will have to be pushed back until i have more time.

Damn it. Id say this program would be wayyyyyyyy more important for tourneys than cash.

just for curiosity, i had a quick look at sourcecode and there seems to be no issue to worry about. Code looks very nice and easy to read. Simple but never the less nice solution. Good work .

works exactly as advertised for me; love it

(I use the free table mod from here in the forums and n9monk's betpot for ipoker, both work 100% normal)

found a bug: if playing nl10 it shows a 100bb stack as "1,00" and a raise to $1 as a raise to "0,1" - doesn't happen at higher stakes though.

Glad you like it.
thanks for that bug, i will take a look into and see what causes that issue at 10NL...


I'm working on getting it working for tournaments as well might be ready by next weekend.

It was working nice, found it very useful, but I'm having this bug that on a table the stacks would appear as "Infinito" for every player. Play shallow tables, 9 - 12, and this happened twice, just on one table, but still had to close it bc couldn't play there.

Hope to get fixed, thanks for the program

for whatever reason I can't get it to work on CelebPoker, on Boyle it works without problems but on Celeb just nothin happens.

fwiw the program still shows "Attached to Poker Client: CelebPoker"
but nothing happens

edit: actually it does something: the number representing the stack of the 3rd player (the right one of the bottom two) moves a bit to the left and so does the number indicating the pot size on top.
The actual bets (for example the blinds when put in) also move a bit to the left lol

I have this problem on Boyle :S

Subandi, what client do you gett the error on 10NL tables?
I don't seem to get the problem on will hill.

Do you mind mentioning what stake tables you find this error on Gollo? (or does it happen for all stakes)

I will download these poker clients and test them and update it once i find the issues

the client for the nl10 error was boyle also, but it was on my GF's notebook and her instance of the client seems buggy anyway, will try the old reinstall to see if it helps.

what I thought might be the issue was the language settings of the computer, for example in the german settings "one and a half dollar" is written "$1,5" and not "$1.5" like in the US,
but I changed those and it didn't help so I think this isn't the issue here.

the reinstall of the boyle client helped btw,
not at celeb though (and it's a completely different problem anyway)

I'm pretty certain that language settings will cause errors if it isn't english.

The way it detects money values assumes currencies are like in english something like $1,5 will surely cause an error as i just assume all money values use the a dot for the decimal. I will try and fix that though by installing some clients with other language settings.

This could be the issue that Gollo has, if he can tell me what language settings he uses that would be helpful.

@LunaEqualsLuna

try c# equivalent of "CString sDec = GetUserLocalInfo(LOCALE_SDECIMAL);"

LunaEqualsLuna,

what table mod is that in ur original post??

Have been a bit busy with other stuff, I've noticed that there are one or two skins that the "infinity" problem occurs on. It always occurs on certain tables, probably 1% of all tables, but when it does, it is always on the same table.

On Will Hill i've never had the issue occur once, however on boyles i've had it occur on one or two tables.

As I can now reproduce it I'm going to see if i figure out the reason.

What's the mod that u use in the screenshot?

Hi bro. Your work is really great =) Hey bro, can you make this software for partypoker please? Ill agraciated so much. Sorry for my english.

Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
