Make sure you scroll up, as I added more suggestions in my edits. I just get a loud 'ding' noise when I click on the panel in any manner. I can not move it or get a right click popup. Doesnt matter if I click it, or if I clcik and hold.

Well I'm not sure what's going wrong here since we're both using XP and everything works fine on my computer. Waiting for more feedback about this issue.

Transparent hud panel backgrounds?
You can already have a transparent hud, though this is somewhat a hidden feature as of now: just set the back color to 192,192,255. This will probably help with your panels over your disard button. Also if you have a refresh issue, just resize the window, even by 1 pixel: it will force a redraw.

Ability to display session stats (especially for hero) instead of lifetime.
I'm not sure about this one, though I'm willing to add a "only display stats for the last xxx hands"

Ability to turn hero stats off.
Added to the todo list sir

My delete button still doesn't work on the database manager? Is it me, or is that still a work in progress.

Just use PGAdmin.

This was supposed to be in this version. However, I think I've found an issue with npgsql (an open source dotnet component used to connect to PostgreSQL databases) and I need to sort this out with the authors. Sorry, you'll have to manage your db through PgAdminIII a little bit longer...

Cleaned up and rebooted and now I can move the hud as well as get the right click popup. The transparent background is a little bit ugly looking, unfortunately. Is the HUD a seperate process?? I tried changing the background back from clear to black, and the changes didnt take effect. I then tried stopping the HUD, and it still didnt go away. I ended up exiting PH.

How do I go about removing/adding stats to the hud config? I wanted to start by removing the player names and couldnt manage that. Does the HUD remember the new stat panel positions when moved?

And LOL at all the 60/0/0 players at micro badugi while testing this.

Thanks god. I have no idea why rebooting would solve anything though

... Fact: I never tried to stop the hud and I'm feeling like an idiot now. I've just tested this and yes, stoping the hud actually unregisters the window (that's why you don't see the stats moving with the poker window anymore), but it doesnt kill hud panels... Talk about guinea pigs

On the "Selected" list, double click on the "Player Name" item, them delete the "New Line". Maybe I should add "delete" "move up/down" buttons to this. Add a new stat simply by double clicking on one in the "available" list.

Each table starts with the default mapping you can find in hud.xml, then when you move a panel, the table keeps the positions but there's no way to save the positions or set it as a new default value. This is really lacking. That's something I want to change.

Man all those tests on play money was a real pain. People constantly disconnecting, never folding (so each hand is really loooong), and worst of all: MIN F**** RAISING in NL games. You know how annoying it is to see
"x raises to 20, y raises to 30, z raises to 40, t raises to 50" to end up all in with over 2k chips preflop? I want to kill them.

I had a good laugh when someone showed a hand of the same color in badugi. He must have thought he had made a flush or something.

No problem, I'm getting pretty handy at PgAdminIII now.


Importing went fine. Although the "move" files did not work. I entered my backup drive and destination and nothing moved.

BTW, your "run as Administrator" did work. I checked the properties and it did check that option under "Compatible" tab. See, something worked.

I'm still learning some of the other config pages. I went to PS tab on the config window to select my preferred seat (3 o'clock position or closest to it). Each time/10, 9, 8 and 6 I tried to change it, nothing... the check mark did not move. I did get the occasional "shadow" of a check mark once I moved the mouse off that window. I don't know if it might have taken, as the HUD did not work as explained below.

I tried to start the HUD and here's the error message I got. Hope it means more to you than me



Can't tell about the rest. I did log on to PS, sat in a table for three hands and nothing appeared. I'm not sure if the HUD ever did start. I did click "continue" when this error popped up... guess it didn't continue...

BTW, the "run as Administrator" did work and checked the option under Properties/Compatible tab. See, something did work

Even though the error above appeared and apparently the HUD did not open (nothing ever showed on table), the live import did work properly.

I googled this "the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect" and it seems it comes from missing VC redistributable files.

You'll find this here (x86):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Or here if you're running Vista 64bits:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

I found some information about deploying this stuff automatically with the installer, I'll try to include it with the setup.exe in the next version.

Apparently, I am 32bit as I tried the 64 and told me it was incompatible with my system. D/l'ed the 32 and installed fine. I'll go try and see if that lets it open the HUD.

Okay, here's where I stand... totally at a loss as to why this is not working.

I installed the 32bit program. That went fine. I opened up PH and configured the PS screen with just a few basics so as not to clutter it initially. I made sure all the directories were set correctly. I clicked on "live import". That started up fine. I clicked on "start" under the HUD tab. This time I got no error and it appears to be running, since the "stop" took the place of the "start".

I logged on to PS, sat in a micro Badugi game and nothing showed on the screen. I sat in a holdem game and it showed up. Is this version only working for holdem?

Next issue, when it showed in holdem, as mentioned earlier in a post, it did not bring up my stats in the seat I was sitting in. It "forced" them to your default seat one. I've tried changing the preferred seat under the tab PS and it won't let me do it. It keeps showing your #1 position.

Here's where I'm at right now.

1] Works in HE, doesn't work in Badugi.

2] Preferred seating won't change.

3] Imported files do not move after importing. I tried both manual importing and after live import.

4] Very frustrating to change the stats display configuration, meaning to add a stat. You have to delete everything, basically, and then add them back in the order you want them. A "move" button is critical.

5] It seems to be working without errors though. HUD starts, live imports work.

6] Personally, a little confused by the transparency slide. I assume the higher number is greater transparency? I didn't notice a huge difference, but then again I'm tired right now...

I couldnt get the hud working earlier today when I tried also. I will try again later, now that I have rebooted again.

Me too. I think I'll go have a smoke even though its 45 and raining outside. Then after the reboot I'll try it again. BTW, the new Andras card mods from www.tiltbuster.com look great, work great for Badugi, esp with the yellow spades.

All of a sudden, after rebooting the system, badugi is now working, go figure.

It's acting weird. If I right click to see full stats, the basic HUD disappears except for the full stats window. Then, it mystically reappears in the middle of the hand with no special buttons clicked after closing the right click full stats, and it is at a random time and not immediate, never the same table function going on.

Question about format: Is the "format" line under the configure tab working, and if so, how do I change the format? What other options? I definitely need to change it. Either with a line wrap, or vertical or something. Just a few stats and it's running over the table, or off the page.

When I first set down at a table, one window open, it is a horrible looking mess, like a fractal gone freaky. Once I sit in (if I can even see the vacant seat), it clears up immediately???? Opening another window/table will clear it up immediately. Here's what I am seeing.



Fozzy and I don't want you to get bored so we're putting it all thru the motions, him on his XP and me on Vista. You're getting it from both sides. Better duck fast.

I love it's development so far, and hate to even make any of this sound like criticism, it's not.... well, maybe the part about Omaha not being included. When/if you decide to market the final product, it would seem there would be a lot more people interested in having Omaha rather than 2-7, even though I do like that game. I'm talking about overall popularity. But, it's your call.

Regarding the "Playback" feature.

On my Vista at least, the hands playback fine. Except the table is either too far left or the cards are too far right. The river card won't show because it overlaps with my hand (3 o'clock position) and it can't be read. One or the other has to be moved. And the players names/box seems to be too small. Here's what I see at the end of the hand.

After starting the HUD, my error message said:
Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click continue...
Unable to load DLL "hook.dll": This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800736B1).

I didn't make any changes in the HUD configuration and I tried it on L5CD and a full-ring LHE table. When starting the HUD before or after being dealt a hand, or even when not sitting at a table, each time I got the same error message and no HUD appeared. I'm on XP. Should I re-install PH?

The import and live import work fine and the new ATS, FoldBB, FoldSB stats look good! How are they calculated now, by the way?

Thanks!

Clemenza, you have the same problem than dog, so I'll invite you to download the Microsoft VC redist directly at MS' website (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en) until I fix this by distributing the files with my program in the next version.

The computation of ATS/Fold to Stl was incorrect, I just fixed it (an ATS is an open raise from CO/BTN). It will be changed in the future to obtain exact steal stats from different positions (ATS from BTN, ATS from SB, etc), but that would involve a change in the database schema. I'd rather keep the same database for all the beta 8.x coming, because it will be easier for you to try the hud from version to version: reimporting all the time is a pain.

What I don't get is why your form is so large, it should be fixed 819pixels. The other problems are coming from here.

Don't worry keep criticizing. I'm taking all of this under consideration, and I'm trying to solve errors after errors until the hud is working correctly for everyone

Clemenza did your files get moved/copied after import? dog reported that it wasn't working. I tested and it's working fine with me.

herr, some more questions I forgot to answer

The format shouldn't be changed most of the time "0.0" means that you'll have 1 number after the decimal separator, so that your computed VPIP of 12.321704 appears as 12.3. "0.00" would produce "12.32" etc.
If you want to add some text to have something like: VPIP: 12.3, just add a "(Text)" item before the stat.

I've never seen the redraw problem here, I need to get this fixed really fast as it's really annoying. You don't need to sit at the table to have it corrected, just resize the form a little, it will force a redraw. That's not a real solution, just a quick trick for this version

My HUD came right up today. I also installed that C+ distributable last night, just to be sure. I 4 tabled badugi and PH was only using 40MB RAM. The CPU use would spike dramatically (upwards of 30%) when dragging stat panels for every seat at every new table. Definitely need stat panels to remember their positions for when you open up a new/next table.

Seems to be a bit of extra 'dead space' between the stats and text separators, making the rows of stats a bit wider than necessary, perhaps. Definitely need up/down, add/remove buttons for configuring the hud. I also really miss my color ranges/thresholds for the stats. Last 'xxx' hands for hero and/or villains would be a decent alternative to 'session stats'. My HH's are NOT being moved as well. I have HHs from 3 days ago in my stars hh folder.

*Still need a column in the sessions tab for the session times/date.

I agree that positions seriously need to be remembered so as not to have to set them every table, every new session. By "stat panels" are you saying the same as me, Fozzy, when I asked for a way to either line wrap or adjust the "panel" or box of stats? Just want to make sure we're asking for the same thing.

Agree again. I am using a separate program for just color coding. This would be much better looking with colors. Don't need little fish icons, just colors.

Yes. IMHO, session stats are meaningless. When a player plays his first hand I need to see his history. Even if it is not an option as to how many hands, at least set it to a high number, or include all. Unless "all" would be too much.

Same here, still not moving

That did the trick. The HUD works now!

Thanks for updating this. I'm still unclear on on how ATS is calculated in this new version. (Wasn't it calculated as an open raise from CO or BTN in the last version?) Can you please restate how ATS, FoldBB and FoldSB are calculated now?

I tested it again. The move-after-import does work if the HH was created while not using live import. It does not move any HH's that were generated while using live import and it still doesn't move those files after running additional imports.

I'm going to go play around with my new HUD!

Is anyone else having this problem? It will not let me select any other seat other than the default #1 seat... why couldn't your favorite seat be #3, Tony?


BTW, I just verified what is happening on my "move files' is acting the same as Clemenza.

I play without the PH open.

Then open PH and do a manual import

THEN later start "live import" while I play the next time... it imports all the hands, live and manual, from the Stars HH directory.

but... it moves ONLY the HH's that were created by a manual import.

It did move them (manual import HH's) correctly to the selected drive/backup location.

True. I completely rewrote the paint process to fix this behavior.

Yes it was supposed to be calculated that way but it was buggy because the calculation of the ATS opportunity wasn't right. So:
ATS: (total open raises from CO or BTN) / (total open raise opportunities from CO/BTN)
FoldSB: (total fold SB when facing steal) / (total SB defense opportunities)
FoldBB: (total fold BB when facing steal) / (total BB defense opportunities)

I uploaded a vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L5Ia-2oIsA. Is this what you're getting? btw, you can edit your hud.xml file to solve this the hacky way.

Also, the files moving only after a manual import is the expected behavior. Simply put, moving files while live import is running is impossible, because PokerStars is trying to access some of those files to write the HH while PokerHands is trying to move the same files.
Maybe triggering an import after stopping the live import would be a more understandable behavior for the users.

I would think you might want it to check the dates of the HH files, and move the files for anything other than the current day, after the live import. Stars uses the same HH file, for the same table, for the same date.
