v1.13

Update: PokerStars tournament unregistration popup changed.

Main development base switched to win8.1x64

v1.14

* Added useful Window Class filter

Registered just to say I love this software.
What do you think about adding a checkbox to auto-tile windows?
Perhaps something like this? (Just a mock-up)

Hello and thanks for a feedback. Auto-tile is easy to do, but as far as I've tested it causes more damage than benefit. This scenario happened to me a lot:



1. Running 6 tournaments
2. Tournament number 2 finishes and closes
3. Tournament number 4 comes to my action
4. Figuring out what to do on tournament 4
*** Meanwhile auto-tiler recognizes that one table is missing and all of them need to be tiled again. And tiles them just before I do my action on window 4
5. Pressing mouse on tournament 5 window

And such scenario happened a lot causing calling/reshoving garbage hands. There could be a solution to this by adding manual checking if player is considering table action and stuff.. but it's very difficult to do properly and even with that if player is not using mouse and is using keyboard/joystick/controller it's near to mission impossible to detect such things. If anyone knows good/easy solution to this - go ahead

v1.15

* Bugfix: Black theme "Timebank" button recognition made less sensitive because not recognized on certain table sizes. If anyone using Black theme started getting unexpected glitches after this release, please report immediately.

True. For mouse users it might be a good option to only stack inactive windows? I.e. don't stack the window that is active or the mouse pointer is in until another table is activated or the mouse leaves the window. Could maybe cause trouble with players playing many tables though. The best way might be to try to not rearrange windows that are already in a tile unless X tiles are empty or manually triggered something like that. Maybe notify the user that "sort by oldest" is a bad idea with auto-tiling enabled as well in that case.

Another thought maybe is to not auto-tile windows with active user action controls? This might still cause trouble for people making notes etc though, so still, check for active window/mouse cursor.

Do people really play with joysticks? In that case, this software surely needs an option to add a "pew" sound when they press the fire button.

Oh and also a bug report:

If you activate a hotkey input field and minimize the program, the input field is still accepting input. Reproduce this by for example clicking the "Exit Hotkey" field, minimizing the software. Then press e.g. the Home button twice and watch PsHandler quit.

I was slightly annoyed when I accidentally reassigned and started the hand replayer over and over when I was taking notes in the middle of a session.

thanks, added to next release.

A couple of issues:
*If PS is set up to save Hand Histories + Tournament Summaries on another drive with non default folder names, PsHandler cant find HH. So had to set it back to Stars defaults.
*Table Tiler does not work with negative values


Everything else seems perfect! Thank you for your work!

thanks for feedback, will add these things to TODO list.

EDIT: in the image your coordinates and size is not correct. For example in the first line you wrote "1366 -621 2006 -153" what means X=1366 Y=-621 Width=2006 Height=-153 , height cannot be negative. Format is "X Y WIDTH HEIGHT". Try to fix numbers and see if it works.

Oops, I've copied Table Coordinates from Stars ini file in x,y,x2,y2 format. Doh

Today I had a warning:


Yet virustotal.com shows 0/53 detections.
Just to let you know.

Well I don't really know how all these antivirus software are working. It's probably the default warning for unknown .exe binaries downloaded from internet. If you are not sure what's going on - since it's open source, you can always download Microsoft Visual Studio, download source code of this project from github and compile it by your self.

Im using it anyway Just thought it might be interesting for u so u could fix it.

cant seem to get this to work on stars, using the azure theme but for some reason the 'im back' button will not work.

included a screenshot of settings on the 2nd page i have clicked the correct options also. on win 8
thanks for any help

Hello,

"I'm Back" and "Timer" button recognition is based on calculating average colors on certain relative table regions. The only two options which are needed in PsHandler: "Settings > PokerStars Table Theme > Azure" and "Controller > Autoclick "I'm Back" Button". I just checked Azure theme on different table sizes (using Windows 8.1), worked fine. Try to set table size to default size (Ctrl + B) and see if it still doesn't work. In any case please make a screenshot of the table on which I'm back button doesn't work (you can use 'Alt + Print Screen' for only active window printscreen). This would help me to manually check if the color calculation should be adjusted for Azure theme. Unfortunately I'm going on vacation for a week from tomorrow and won't be able to make updates for PsHandler, but I will be able to reach this forum.

Hi Kam , thanks very much for the support and taking time to give out free software when it consumes up your time its much appriciated.

I managed to get it to work using nova theme.
i was wondering is it possible to change settings for a custom mod set on the Azure skin ?
i tried to use the software using table selection Azure yet it dosent pick up the location of the I'm back button.

thanks once again

kampiuceris: Any chance you can add a feature that when the Table Tiler is activated and a new table starts, the program puts that table on the next available slot?

Do you plan on keep the program free and open?

Many thanks for making it!

I'm returning from vacation this weekend and will provide both answers to you guys (Bertz and acoimbra). I need to review pshandler's architecture for more details about custom theme setup (custom image recognition) and automatic table tiling (this topic was already touched few posts above: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...3&postcount=54)

This project is my free time hobby and so far I don't see any reasons of making it not free or not opensource. I should probably add open source license one day (more info: http://opensource.org/licenses)

It would be interesting to know how many of you are using PokerStars 7 (beta?) software since it has some new features which covers current PsHandler's features and some table themes should be adjusted for PS7 creating "forking" which is double work.

v1.16

* Added exact HandHistory path requirement instead of full AppData path. This allows to use custom hand history saving folders.
* AutoUpdate improvement.
* Bugfix: Active HotKey TextBoxes avoid interaction when Window is minimized or not active.
* Bugfix: Slick theme adjust.

I've checked Azure theme but the image you provided seems to be some totally custom theme. For PsHandler to recognize customized theme - table buttons image, size and position must be the same as the base theme. Seems like this custom theme won't work with PsHandler today. In the future I have plans for making custom theme recognition, but that is a lot of work and this feature has a very low priority in my ToDo list.

I'm currently rewriting PsHandler's architecture since the old one is already too "weak". The new one I have designed on paper should allow such feature.

Can you add M number for tourneys?

Hi, trying to use your script as a blind timer and it works perfectly for 25bb 6max hypers but am not getting it working for 10bb 6max hyper satellites. How do I enter these tourney types on the 'poker types' to make them work? Will leave 3 examples, Sunday Mil sat, Saturday 320 Sat and then one for a WCOOP Event, hoping you can help me fig out what I need to look for.

Thanks much for sharing as well!

Sure. Unfortunately I'm currently rewriting new core for pshandler, so this will take time.

Try this:



You can add more satellites to this 'poker type' by adding their unique title parts and their unique buy-ins, for instance more general $37-$1000 'poker type' for hyper sats should look smth like:
