once I fine tune it, i will PM you. I have tested it on the penny tables and it works great but it is not recognizing the tables for SNGs

That means the RegEx you are using isn't exactly right. Are you using the sample pack from the website? What site are you trying to play on?

it is on PS and I am using the sample pack

it reads the following:

(PL|NL|Limit)\s(Holdem|Omaha\sH/L|Omaha|7\sCard\sStud\sH/L|7\sCard\sStud|Razz)\sReal(\s|\s Single\sTourney\s|\sMulti\sTourney\s)Table\s[0-9]+\s-

Anyone who has been having trouble with Poker Stars or Party Poker should get the new RegEx list I just posted. Hopefully that fixes everything.

Its possible to have one hotkey to move the tables clockwise?

Like this:

1->2->3->
4->5->6->

I hit a hotkey and the slot 1 moves to slot 2 and slot 2 to were slot 3 was and so on.

Haha i was gonna ask about that as well once I get it running.
I downloaded all the files and extracted them but when I run the PlaceMint.exe i get a failed to initalize error and it wont open or let me do anything. Sorry I'm a newb :P but how can I get this going? Do i have to have the placement in a certain folder?

Hilips,
That is not possible. A hotkey can only swap windows between 2 solts.

DougieWeight,
If it won't even open, then you probly need to install the .NET 2.0 Framework from Microsoft.

Hi Irish, looks like a great program

I've installed and configured PlaceMint ver 1.0.0.0 after reading this thread and the Wiki, playing on a Vista 32 bit Home Basic system on Stars. After spending a couple of hours resolving the initial issues I still have a few kinks, I was hoping you could give me hints on how to str8en out

Immidiately the Stars expressions in the regex dated Dec 11, 2008 did not work for me - the program would grab/resize ALL open windows, including itself, creating some kind of oscillating effect where it jumped around on the screen. I resolved this by using the custom Stars "tournament" regex you posted previously in this thread.

a) I have saved the f5redrawtable=1 expression in Stars user.ini, but apparently PlaceMint does NOT send instructions to the Stars client to redraw the tables - to get the right picture I have to first activate a table and then manually press F5 each time a new table opens, or moves from one slot to one of different size.

b) I have "Hotkey Swapping" and "Mouse Position" selected in Options/Swapping, as well as "Drag & Drop Swapping", and I have Alt-Ctrl-[letter] hotkeys defined under "Slots" in "Configure Window Groups". Yet there's no swapping taking place when I activate the defined hotkeys. I can swap by dragging-and-dropping (but I still need to press F5 after each swap).

Thanks in advance for any help

You probably had the custom regex selected while it was empty. Irish, you should probably change the programs reaction to empty regexes, now an empty regex recognizes every window obviously. You should check if it's empty and then ignore it. Saves a lot of confusion, it happened to me a couple of times as well

Furthermore I have updated the party cashgame regex, since the new update there are also heads up cashgames. The new regex recognizes these tables too.
And last but not least, Irish, It's a good thing of course that your program doesn't allow duplicate hotkeys, otherwise it would create a mess. However for slots that are in different groups this is not a problem. For instance I have the groups PartyTables and PartyLobby. If one of the slots in the group PartyTalbe has the hotkey F4 and one of the slots in PartyLobby has the hotkey F4 this would not be a problem, because the active window is in on of the groups so the program knows to what slot it should move. Anyway, this is not very important, but it would be nice

Yours truly,

I uploaded the update posted by EazyDoesIt.

About the duplicate hotkeys, initially that was my first design, but Windows throws an exception when you try to register the same hotkey twice.

Sending F5 and checking for empty expressions sound like fairly simple additions, however right now I don't have the time. I should be able to work on it early January.

Cool, I appreciate all the effort you put into this

Got it to work, had to use the reg expression in the custom thingy.

Add Support for PP Deep Stack Tables in the expression please though, I'm too dumb to do it myself <;

PlaceMint has now twice asked for internet access while I was playing, which I find mildly disturbing

Why would it do that?

I assure you that PlaceMint does nothing to contact the internet. The project is open source, so anyone can look and see that this is the truth. Whatever you are using as an indication of it doing such is making a mistake.

Thanks for the assurance

Obv. ZoneAlarm ISS has more than a few flaws ....

I pm'ed you the new regex, for every one else:
I updated the party regex, now deep stack tables are supported as well.

Here it is:

This is really such a nifty little piece of software, but ...

The last 3 times I've used it after approximately 20 - 25 tables it suddenly starts placing tables on top of each other, even though there were still empty slots

Any suggestions?

One slot can not hold two windows, so you must have two slots in the same location. With 25+ slots, you probably hit clone slot a bunch of times and missed one or two when you went through positioning them.

Yeah, I figured that was a likely explanation, so I checked "show" for all slots in the tools - configure - "slots" tab menu ... all 10 windows show up where they're supposed to, so obv. this is an in-game issue.

The slot that's being "double-booked" is the first one (top of the list); this is the same behavior I see when open 11 tables while running my 10 table PlaceMint lineup - so my guess is that in certain game-situations the program for unknown reasons think that I have opened more tables than the number of defined slots

BTW, this is the custom regex expression I use (copied from earlier in this thread): ^Tournament\s\d+\sTable

If you have 11 windows and 10 slots, then one window will be left free. The poker client can create the window anywhere, but you should be able to move the window after that. Also, use the RegEx list from the website as it will have much better expressions.

Apologies in advance if this is obvious, but can I use PlaceMint to re-size ipoker tables?

ty

First, thank you for a great program. I have been "struggling" w/it (as I'm not the greatest w/computers). I have come a long way in the last few hours though. I'm trying to create a basic 4 table setup. I have setup the various options (regex, slot templates, etc.). I now am able to drag/drop 3 tables each of which will automatically resize. However, the 4th table will not resize, drop, etc. Even if I move a table that was properly resized/dropped it will revert to being the wrong size and not let me drop it somewhere else/resize. So I'm stuck w/3 tables and one that won't resize/drop and no idea what to do. I'm happy to have some view what I'm doing over teamviewer, read ideas on here, etc.

THANKS FOR THE HELP !!!

I've re-downloaded and "installed"/unpacked the software again, and reconfigured and gone over my slots numerous times to make sure I don't have duplicates. Once or twice each sessions (and typically in the beginning) PlaceMint's still putting 2 tables on top of each other (in the same slot), and the only way to access the one that's sitting below seems to be to pause and un-pause PlaceMint (which resolves the problem, but also shuffles the tables around on my screen).

I'm running Vista Home Basic, no UAC, Desktop Composition disabled etc., and I've run pretty thorough virus/spyware scans without finding anything.

I really love the software, but apparently it's simply not stable on my system. I'm surprised that I should be the only one experiencing this issue?

runway model,
PlaceMint can resize any program that uses the standard windowing supplied by Windows. All that is needed is the proper RegEx for the window title. (One already exists for iPoker.)

glkatz81 & McMelchior,
Check your PM boxes.

I'm completely lost with how to use it. I just want a simple 6, 8, and 10 table set up. If anybody can send me a pm or respond to this with a walkthrough I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
