v0.4.2 fixes a couple of smaller bugs that were found over the last week. I also reworked the options window to make things more organized and clear.

More importantly I added the ability to chose between active window and mouse position hotkey swapping.
This makes me very happy

There is no way to export your HHs from PO? Does PO keep a 'Processed/Archived HH Folder'? If you play at Stars, you can request every HH you ever played, and simply import those to HM.

Would it be possible to have different slots depending on how many windows there are that match an expression? For example, I can only fit 6 tables on my screen, so I would like them to move and overlap when I open a 7th one. I can do this with 2 configurations, one for 6 tables, one for 7+ tables, but would it be possible for it to automatically select the right one?

I think the difficulty stems from PO dumping hand histories into a mySQL dbase using some sort of proprietary function, which neither HM nor PT have tapped into yet.

I've trawled through the HM thread and found this (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...ce#post1623861) but it seems pretty cumbersome and, although it's probably not too hard to get your own hand histories if you put the effort in, I'm not sure how easy it is to get all observed hands too given the way PO is set up. It's not a problem for Party where I only track hands I play but on FTP, where I mine, I may lose a big chunk of my dbase.

Then again, I just installed HM to see what it's like and it's pretty damn good - may be worth losing my dbase and the HUD I've grown used to.

I C. It does look like a long, detailed process, but possible at least. PO doesnt even compare to HM in terms of speed, function, stats, etc. FWIW, PO is releasing POv5 beta on Sept 5.

I think trying to implement something like this would require a lot of work to do right. If it was implemented, it really should be contained in one configuration. But the way the objects are structured, it wouldn't work right away because groups and slots were designed to me fixed objects that don't change while PlaceMint is running. Therefore, I think you will just have to make the two configurations and switch between the two when you want to use more tables.

Good job Ithug it be helpful if you could give an example for what the new options can be used for. Like tools-options-swapping how do you get the Hotkey swapping to work and what would you use that for? I donated to you on your site to thank you for your work and putting it out there free, i respect that way of business.

One last thing is there anyway to get the tables/slots 1-6 to cascade/re-stack after i hit a hotkey? I have the tables i mine in a stack slots 1-6 and the tables i play on slots 7+. If i click on slot 4 to check the table now it now becomes the top of the stack blocking the tables under it, where as before i could read the names of each table. If i could hit a hotkey one time and have the tables cascade so they're back to the original 1-6, 1 at the top but on the bottom of the stack.

First and foremost, thank you for the donation. I get a lot of satisfaction out of seeing other people enjoy my work, but money is always nice too.

Hotkey Swapping: I have two monitors, so I have slots 1-4 on the right monitor with no overlap (this is where I play). I then have a handful of slots on the left monitor. While I am playing my 4 tables, I am on the wait list for this one table that are really juicy. When I get called to this table, I sit down and wait for the big blind. While this is happening, I look at the 4 tables I'm currently playing. Looks like the table in slot 3 has gotten tight since when I sat down. So now all I do is hit Ctrl+Alt+3 and my new juicy table (it was still active because I just sat down) moves to slot 3 so it will be easy to play on. The tight table has now moved to the slot the juicy table used to be occupying. So I go there and close that table because I don't want to play that table anymore. That got kind of long, but hopefully it was clear.

I'm planning on adding hotkeys to the window groups for the next major release. You would be able to assign a up to 4 hotkeys for each group: Show, Restore, Minimize & Maximize. These would perform the respected action on all of the windows in the group. So lets say you assigned Ctrl+Shift+S to show for the group you described. This would iterate over every slot (starting with 1 and finishing with n) and activate each one. So if slot 1 is the one buried deepest in your stack and 6 is the top of the stack, this will do exactly what you need.

I've already fixed a bug in v0.4.2 where the hotkey is cleared when a window in that slot is closed. I, however, will be moving this week and won't be able to make the release until early next week. I'd expect that to be the major release that incorporates the group hotkeys.

im sure you get more but it was a pain to make a surge account. You need a pay pal donation window on your site.

I still haven't figured out how to set up the "regular expression". I noticed on absolute poker you have ^Absolute\sPoker$ but how did you know to write it like that. I write mozilla and make a slot but nothing happens.

looking forward to the new release.

The commonly used syntax section will cover the symbols that will get lots of use.

Once you understand the syntax, if you need help making sure that your expression does what you want it to, Regex Coach is a great tool.

1. is the software suppose to be able to work with multiple sites? I have FT and PS configrated but they seem to overlap....
2. my FT tables are not showing up on the list of tables when I expand the list the lobby does????(i use the two files provided)
3. if someone wrote the expressions for the major sites such as prima crypto network, ipoker network etcc... can you please post them, and we can adjust by the skin... thanks
4. coming back to my first question if I intend to use up to 6 sites sometimes playing on 6 diffrent tables will the tables (slots) overlap???

thanks

1/4) You setup the layout of where the slots appear, so this is up to you. If you have two groups that have a slot at (0,0), then yes, they will overlap. If you don't want them to overlap, you will need to think how you want to setup the slots so that doesn't happen.
2) Did you set the regular expression to your FT group to the FT tables. The FT expression is written assuming you are signed in, so if you are observing tables, they will not match.
3)Yes, this will help everyone. The sites I use are already covered in the list, so I will not be adding anything new to that list.

1. it will be great help if the sofware would realize that slot 0,0 is say occupied and move to the next one, or have slot assignemtn for multiple sites so I guess multiple expression that include multiple sites (is that possible)?? most multitables will be happy to buy a software that can help with that ...

Hi,

That is certainly possible. what you have to do is copy the reg expression of pokerstars that is already in the regexp poker list of place mint, put it between () and take the reg expression of full tilt and put it between () as well, sepperate the to by an |. Like this: (reg_exp_ps)|(reg_exp_ftp). What this does is, it recognizes a window that is either from pokerstars or from full tilt. You can even do more sites like that, for instance: (reg_exp1)|(reg_exp2)|(reg_exp3)|(reg_exp4).

In the case of PS and FTP it would be like this:
(\s+-\s+\$[0-9]+(|\.[0-9][0-9])/\$[0-9]+(|\.[0-9][0-9])\s+-\s+(No\sLimit|Pot\sLimit|Limit)\s(Hold'em|Omaha\sH/L|Omaha|Stud H/L|Stud|Razz|5-Card\sDraw|Triple\sDraw\s2-7)\s*$)|((Cap\sPot\sLimit|Cap\sNo\sLimit|Pot\sLimi t|No\sLimit|Limit)\s(Hold'em|Omaha\sHi/Lo|Omaha|Seven\sCard\sStud\sHi/Lo|Seven\sCard\sStud|Razz)\s-\sLogged\sIn\sAs)

If you need help making regular expressions for other sites that are not yet included, feel free to ask me. I'll see what I can do. If TheIrishThug wants they could even be included in the RegexList_Poker.xml. It would be nice to help a little bit with this project, because TheIrishThug has done so much for free.

Yours truly,
EazyDoesIt

EasyDoesit is correct that you can use "(reg_exp1)|(reg_exp2)|(reg_exp3)|(reg_exp4)" to do multiple match strings in one single group that you can use right now. That being said, it would not be very difficult for me to add multiple expressions in one group, so I will consider adding it.

Hey

Is there any way to write a reg expression that specifies exactly NO characters for the window title.

I tried ^$ but it didn't seem to work.

I like the ipoker lobby set up on my secondary monitor. Problem is the pop up message box telling me a table is available automatically comes up on my main large monitor and covers a table. This has no characters in the title and I want it to stay on the secondary monitor.

Hope that made sense! Thanks in advance.

First thanks EasyDoesIT and TheIrishThug

Adding multiple expression to one group will be a great help. I play on multiple sites and on multiple tables at the same time so first let me say that I am sure many multitables who tableselect intesively will find a program like that that, that is user friendly superusuful and be willing to pay a fee for it. as I am contantly moving tables around which takes time and energy. personlly like to play 6-8 tables and watch another few. That being said

1.I guess for me the solution will be to put all the sites in one expression and every single lobby expression for himself...

2. would it be possible to have a hotkey or a botton placed on all talbes so when I want to move them to move a table to an open higher spot I just click it (that is so If I am obsrving a talble that I got a seat it I can jsut clik on it and it would move to my main place, for me that will be may one of my main 6 slots????

3. EasyDoesIt I will really appreciate if you publish some expression for me they will be
pokerplex(ipoker), noiqpoker(ipoker), betsafe(crypto), everst , befair, fortune poker (boss media), interpoker(crypto), doyleroom (prima)

any help will be appreciate

thanks again to you both this looks that when it works can save lots of time and headaches

Yes it is I have tested it with party and fulltilt. The windows behaved just as expected. I see no reason why you could not at more sites to the reg exp. No need for extra work

I don't have time for it today, but tomorrow I do I'll try everest first, because I have an acount there. For the other sites I'll need a little help from you. If you have autohotkey installed you'll find that there is an app called window spy. If you start this app and make one of your pokertables the active window, windowspy will give you a lot of information about this window. One of the items is the window title. If you could copy that for a table from all the requested sites (except everest). It is important that you are logged in while you do this, because the window title for tables might be different. If you prefer not to make your usernames public, please replace them with "username" (including the " would be the most clear) so it's still clear to me where the username is in the title bar. Then either post them here or PM them to me. So I'll know what to aim for with the reg exp, without having to install 10 poker clients and make accounts. In case you don't have autohotkey installed you can download it here: http://www.autohotkey.com/download/

And for lennois:
maybe there is some white space in the titlebar, try ^\s$. You could also try using the windowspy app I spoke about above to see if maybe there is mosething in the title bar. Otherwise I don't know.
PlaceMint: Window Positioning Tool Quote

lennois,
Using ^$ isn't going to work as a regular expression because a normal windows environment will have more than 100 windows in existence at one time, many of them are unseen by the user and don't have a title. So PlaceMint will find one of these windows first and then not have an empty slot to try and find your poker client's message box. Try using Window Spy or AHK Window Info to find out what the title is exactly.

yoelpoker,
Tools > Option > Swapping > Hotkey Swapping. Make sure that is enabled, then you can assign hotkeys to the slots you want and move windows to them.

I have an issue trying this with Stars 6-max NL Cash.

All the tables sit where I want them to until I actually sit down at the table then it disappears from the PlaceMint screen. I'm guessing this is down to the RegExp and the Window Title adding "- Logged In as ******" but I'm not sure what I need to change to get it working.

I'm using the default regexp for PokerStars Ring Games.

Great script btw.

Hi,

I've made the regular expression for Everest poker. I've tested it and it seems to work. If any tables are not recognized, please let me know and I'll tune it further.

You can use this:
^Table\s[a-zA-Z0-9]+-\d+\s\((Real\sMoney|Tournament|Summit\sPoints|Free \sPlay)\s(No\sLimit|Pot\sLimit|Limit)\s(Texas\sHol d'em|Omaha)\sat\s\$?[0-9.,]*/\$?[0-9.,]*\s(SP\s)?stakes\)$

It should recognize all tables from everest.

For more reg exp from other sites, I'll need some title bars, because I don't feel like installing 10 different poker rooms. In my last post I forgot to ask for titlebars from all different games that the site offers. Limit, no limit, pot limit, holdem, omaha, real money, play money, tournaments and so on. If it makes the title bar different, please include it, so I can make it work for the entire site. Also in case the title bar of the tables is different when logged in, include the ones that you are logged in, those are the imported ones. If it shows your username in the title bar, replace it by "username" (including "), so you don't make them public and I still know what to look for.

TheIrishThug,

I've been using this app quit a bit now. Unfortunately the hotkeys have one bug that happens all the time. When I've just started placemint they all work fine. Only after I've played poker for a while, some hotkeys stop working. Eventualy all stop working. As if the program 'forgets' them one by one. Also when I go look in the configuration window they have disappeared. I play on party, use Holdem Manager and some other AHK script such as pokerpad, in case that matters. My computer lags a little bit when I have a lot of tables open, maybe that has something to do with the disappearing hotkeys (althow it is not because of lagging that they don't work at the moment, cause some still work)??? If I just have Placemint opened and I don't do anything at my computer, the hotkeys do not disappear. If you need any additional information or you need me to turn on logging, please let me know and I'll try my best.

Yours truly,
EazyDoesIt

The RegExp I'm using is -

\s+-\s+\$[0-9]+(|\.[0-9][0-9])/\$[0-9]+(|\.[0-9][0-9])\s+-\s+(No\sLimit|Pot\sLimit|Limit)\s(Hold'em|Omaha\sH/L|Omaha|Stud H/L|Stud|Razz|5-Card\sDraw|Triple\sDraw\s2-7)\s*$

This works when I load a table with the Title Bar -

"TableName" no all-in - $0.01/$0.02 - No Limit Hold'em

Once I've sat down the Title Bar changes to

"TableName" no all-in - $0.01/$0.02 - No Limit Hold'em - Logged In as "username"

and it stops working.

Thanks.
