PokerHands beta 8 is now available:
DOWNLOAD (2.92mB)
The HUD for PokerStars and for all supported cash games (Hold'Em, Five Card Draw, Badugi) is the main part of this release. To make it work, here are the steps:
1. Click Hud/Configure. On the PokerStars tab, chose your preferred seats. It's set to the 1st seat by default (those are my settings) and it's just like the real PokerStars menu so you won't be lost
2. Go to the "Import Hands" tab, then click "Live Import". This will monitor all the files in your hand history folder.
3. Click Hud/Start
Now in PokerStars, after seating and playing a hand, you should see this coming:
Right clicking on a panel will display the complete stats for a given player
Please note that you cannot add new styles right now (well, you could by hacking the hud.xml, but don't bother), but you can still modify the current themes.
This is just a beginning so I can further improve it to bring it to the highest quality levels. Please tell me what features you'd like to have and what bugs you found in this release. The multiple/vertical panels and stat coloring by range will be in the next version.
I also added a copy/move processed files option you requested for so long
Last but not least, Attempt to Steal was fixed but not redone. This means your PokerHands b7 database will still be compatible with this version but you should still reimport to a clean db because ATS/FoldBBtoSteal/FoldSBtoSeal are corrupted. The bb/100 in the session tab was also fixed.
To Vista users
I tried to configure the installer to ask for admin level privileges. Not sure if this is going to work though.
What's coming next?
The beta 8 will last until the HUD is judged satisfying. This means beta 8.xx are expected to be released.
Now one step ahead, beta 9 will introduce 2-7 Triple Draw and hopefully starting hands/stat pos for Badugi/Five Card Draw.
