I have released a few more updates in v 1.2.23. Interface should be increasingly more intuitive. Also, I have added an icon (=... although this will change slightly at some point in the future. This version should seem a lot more polished than previous versions.

A couple of technical additions as well
1) if a table is minimized the software will unminimize it
2) "Bug Fixes": activation of tables will now occur if the mouse is over a hud component as well. Several others as well.

Next up:
1) Improvements to the custom lobby
2) Improvements to the SNG opener

If anyone is having any issues with the current version please let me know. I will try to keep the server running a bit more often.

Quick question, is Poker Companion able to interact with Full Tilt dialogues and buttons with Vista Aero glass running?

I'm not sure but only because I have not tested it. If not, let me know and I will fix it. It seems to work 100% on xp and as far as I can tell on win 7.

Hi everyone,

I've released a few more updates (1.3.24), mostly to the interface (which should be much more responsive and intuitive with an overall cleaner look than before.

As always, please let me know if any of the features are not functioning as expected on any system. If not, I will work with you to make sure the software is working correctly.

Thanks,

The take open seat doesn't work for me.

I'm using windows 7 and a costume ftp them.

Please send me a screenshot of your theme.

Done by PM.

Hey I'm trying to get the SNG opener to work and I have included a picture of my settings as well as my desired tournament from the FT lobby. When I click "Start Read" in the server tab, PPC just scans the tournaments but never opens ones or does anything else. I do have the tournament opener option checked in settings and I am running windows XP.

i believe you have misunderstood how to use the software. the stuff included on the 'server' tab is not really intended (or needed) for normal use. That stuff is used for my server program to scan the cash table users and names.

To use the opener, you will also have to configure the full tilt lobby such that the "go to tourney lobby" and "register now" buttons are on the top of the widget panel.

The settings for the SNG opener are in the settings toolstrip. To turn on the sng opener, you would go to settings->table opener->tournament opener. Here you would have to configure the selection criteria and enter how many tournaments to open. Then you will have to click on 'tournament opener' to enable the opener.

Hope this helps...

Edit: I have found a bug in some code i changed which may have prevented the software from getting into tournaments. Please download version 1.3.26

I have followed your suggestions and installed the new patch. PC now opens the tournament and goes to the registration page but doesn't not register me for the tournament. Is there a shortcut to stop the tournament opener from the lobby? It gets difficult to access the menu system while it searches tournaments. Thanks

Sorry, As of now no. I will add this feature shortly... I agree it is very much needed.

You can set up a 'popup handler' to auto register, or use the ones already built in if there is one. I will be revising the way tournament registration is done eventually because treating it like a simple popup is useful... but I intend to add many more features, possibly at some point a table selection system for tournaments.

For now I would recommend closing full tilt and reopening PC. Then you can turn off the opener and set up all of the popup handlers. In the future I will do two things.

1) all automatic activities will be disabled when the mouse is over the pc main window
2) a shortcut (like ctrl+D) will be used to toggle all automatic activities.

I've added some of the requested features in v 1.3.27

1) pausing is available
2) PC minimized goes to the toolstrip / notification area where many of the controls are still available in a compact form
3) Server mode removed to avoid confusion
4) Connection issues should be resolved....

Many more changes coming this weekend

Just downloaded software, looks good except none of the programmed shortcuts are working for me. I have autobets set and hotkeys for pot% and call, fold, raise etc, and none of them are working. I did remember to turn on the shortcuts checkmark.

I will work with you later today to resolve this issue.

Hi everyone,

I spent the last 3 days trying to make sure the network interface is working flawlessly... and I think I finally got it.

If anyone cannot get tables to show up in the custom lobby with v 1.3.29, please let me know. If this component of the software is actually functioning 100% i can finally move on to the rest of the features that everyone is asking for, so if it's broken let me know, and if its working drop a message here just so I know.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm not exactly sure how to start the cash table opener? I have the tables filtered in the custom lobby tab and have 'cash opener' checked on the 'settings' drop down menu, i set the appropriate filters again there but i'm not sure what to do after that?

Also I can't seem to filter out 'ante' and 'cap' games from the custom lobby?

ok....

Just to test, can you open individual tables from the custom lobby? You will need to have the 'view table' / 'join waiting list' buttons at the top of the widget thing.

Edit: there seems to be a bug in the table opener, I will resolve this issue tonight. Also, filtering of the ante and cap games is on my list of things to implement. Sorry for any inconveniences. Like I said, I spent the last week or so trying to make sure the network interface is working reliably, and it seems that it is. This means that the rest of the features should come soon.

FWIW, under the "open" tab it says "no" under "seated" on the table I'm at. I don't run any mods and just HEM beyond that.

Can't seem to login at the moment, maybe the server is down? Also since the latest update its been crashing a lot for me. I'm using windows XP SP 3.

I havent tested running with HEM. HEM has a HUD, correct? if so this is most likely the reason. I suggest trying the software in play money with HEM off just to see. I may consider adding marginal support for HEM / PT3, but my ultimate plan is to try to provide a superior tracking component included with my software.

Yeah... server was down. power outage at my apartment. I would imagine the crashing is more likely due to the fact the server was down than the latest update. Nevertheless, I would like to fix the issue. Is there any specific situation which made it crash?

Ok so I've included a whole mess of updates in v 1.3.32.

1) Software alerts the user automatically when a new version of the software is available
2)Open tables are now shown in green in the custom lobby
3) Interface 'pausing' made more smooth / intuitive
4) Bug fixes: most notable a bug which causes the pot size to be misread (and the software to crash in some cases)
5) Table Opener fixed (thanks 1.21Jigawatts)

As always, i apologize for any inconveniences / delays caused by bugs in the software. It helps me tremendously when people report issues because I try to spend as much time as possible on actual feature development. There is still about 8-10 features which are currently lacking before I will be able to call this software a success, as well as a few parts of the software that I think are not quite as smooth or fast as I would like. Feedback is appreciated, even if you think my software is terrible. (=

A recent full tilt update broke some of the shortcut functions (anything involving bet resizing). These issues should now be resolved in v 1.3.33

I just installed the latest version but still can't get the cash table opener to work. Most of the time I start PCP it doesn't seem to scan the fulltilt lobby at all except for one occasion where it bought the fulltilt lobby to the front, started scanning tables and I couldn't click anything else because the fulltilt lobby kept stealing focus from all other windows while it scanned for tables (also no tables were opened, just continuous scanning)

When I manually click 'open table' on the custom lobby it's opening the table alright, but it doesn't seat me or buy me in.
