What could you possibly want to do other than play poker?

I've added a few new features and removed some flickering issues. There also was a bug where a table with action 'imminent' could be made active when another table had action necessary, now this issues is resolved.

There may be more minor issues... but getting closer to the polished product that I intended to make.

I will make even more additions to the user guide soon, but whats there for now should be enough to get anyone started.

Finally, I wont be getting too many upgrades completed in the next 3 days as I am busy moving into a new apartment. After then my current summer job will be finished and I can dedicate a lot more time to this project (among others) for the next 7 months. In about 2 weeks... expect some very significant, very useful additions.

Is nobody else getting this problem??

Even though it is ill advised for my game, such things as: Post on 2+2, AIM, and Itunes.

not sure what i'm doing wrong, but when i try to open the program, i get this:



This is on windows 7. I've installed the microsoft .NET framework update thing, tried running as administrator and in compatibility mode. Not sure what else to try, but it seems like i'm just missing something

also fwiw, when i close this window, i get the "Professional Poker Companion.exe has stopped working" crash message.

check under your app data folder to see if the following folders have been installed

App Data-> Poker Companion -> Settings -> Default

There should be about 9 files

Also, if there is an option to install for just a single user or for all users, you should choose to install just for a single user.

I do have a bunch of files in Appdata -> Roaming -> Poker Companion -> Settings -> Default

It never gives me a choice for installing for just me or for everyone when i install.

Edit: For some reason i feel like the net framework update didn't take, i might have to try it again. I mean it went through and all, but when i type "framework" into the quicklaunch, everything that pops up says 2.0 and 1.1 (i think i installed 4.0?)

Same issue myself on Windows 7

Same as above

i think your probabally okay on these issues. For some reason I feel like the files should have installed to Appdata->Poker Companion->Settings->Default instead. Not sure, you can check this yourself by moving them or wait until i reinstall windows 7 on my laptop tonight.

Sorry for the setback, I will try to resolve this issue asap.

No worries, just seems like a cool piece of software so i'd like to try it at some point .

For ****s and giggles I tried copying the files to the Appdata -> Local folder instead of the Roaming folder, but it didn't help any.

yeah... windows vista / 7 kinda suck to program on because of the user account controls, etc. I'm kinda new to that part, but its the same 20 lines of code that have been causing me troubles for a while now.

it appears that the windows 7 issues may be due to an issue with the .net framework. I am not sure but I believe this may only be an issue on machines running windows 7 RC and not the actual RTM build. Can anyone prove me correct or incorrect?

I am using a component called the STL. unfortunately because microsoft likes to make things complicated (and possibly fast), i cannot use the standard stl, so I have to use microsoft's concocted version called the CLR STL extensions... a component which is included in .net 3.5 and should therefore run properly on windows 7.

In the meantime I will attempt to find a workaround.

So I played around with the new release, and it still has the increase problem. it just goes up by one and will not increase anymore.

I also have an issue now witht he highlight section. the check box is checked, but it is now grey and cannot be altered. If I try to click on it, it crashes the program. Not sure the specifics of the crash, but I will see if I can re-create the problem.

also, this is just an anthestics thing, but I think you are getting carried away with the coloring of the windows. just have one red outline on the table that is recieving ation IMO. all the rest just cause a color clutter IMO. just my $.02

Go ahead and change the color scheme to whatever you desire (: (some people want more colors, some dont... i cant really guess)

Also thank you very much for posting a precise error... this saves me a LOT of time when trying to track down these bugs

Ok... so for those of you having issues with windows 7, i am going back and ditching everything i used from the STL and rewriting it using code that would make mr. gates himself very happy. Unfortunately this sort of modifications makes potential future mac ports far more time consuming (I dont even really know if it is possible to make a program like PC on a mac).

No way of doing it with Java? Would run on both systems or am I mistaken?

Anyways, if you get this fully running I pay you $$$!

Any chance you can add a function that will "time ban" tables that you left (for example 1 hour) before the table opener will open them again?

Sure I can do something like this... in fact i think its a really good idea... although in many situations the current system would accomplish the same thing because most of the time you leave a table because it has too few weak players, which is reflected in the statistics that you will already be filtering on.

As for writing in java.... sure portability would be great, but only for the actual code. API calls dont port well, and pretty much all of the code is built aroudn a series of Windows API calls. Also, it is much easier to interface with the API using a language that is part of the .net architecture. To do this with Java would be possible, but at best it would be a major pain. And in the end, java code would be significantly slower.

The concept that C++ code is not portable is somewhat of a myth. The fully compiled code cannot run on multiple systems, but MOST code can be recompiled to run on a different OS. Unfortuantely something as complex as this program relies on calling functions which are a part of the operating system and not something that you can simply add support for by a library file, etc.

*******Windows 7 issues resolved*************

I spent the last two days removing all STL/CLR dependencies. I was able to reproduce the error on a windows 7 RC laptop, but the error has now been resolved. As far as I can tell, the bug was an issue with the windows 7 operating system itsself (as it appears the issue has been fixed in the RTM version), but to be on the safe side I eliminated all of the problem code. This may resolve some of the issues others were having as well on windows XP SP2. Please let me know if any bugs are still causing my software to crash.
Also, those of you running windows 7, let me know if everything is working well with the 1.2.12 version.

I will address some of the more minor issues people have reported tomorrow.

Thanks!

Anyway to disable the table highlighting...

Hi,

Installed latest version and confirm works on Windows 7.

cheers

Excellent customer service

not yet but i will. I'm not sure why you would want to disable table highlighting, perhaps i will allow 100% transparencey. Unfortunately the highlighting is kinda central to a lot of the other features. Although disabling it is possible and a feature I will add, it will not improve preformance significantly. Highlighting is something you sorta get 'for free' in terms of processor cycles. The only really 'expensive' operations are the custom lobby (because it accesses the internet), the layout handling (which, among other things gets you highlighting essentially 'for free', popup handling, and most importantly: context switches (which will allow PC to operate 3-4 times faster on a modern multi-core processor).

Hi,

I am downloading the software right now to give it a shot. But in response to your question about what is desired in regards to SNG Opening tool, I say that the basic part is to be able to register x number of specified tourneys and keep track of how many tables i want to keep open. The current process of opening sng are a hassle, about 3 clicks.

So to begin this is all anyone would need.

To go beyond, then I think specifying the types of tourneys to be open, + number of different types of tourneys, + order in which they should be open are some suggestions.

What's up with the Network Setting? What is that for?

Also right when you start the app it requests that you enter a Server IP, Automatic and Accept. I am really confused.

What is this stuff for?

Okay... I got this to work, but not fully.

I have it on standard view and the Register widget is on the top.

I set the sng info and I click the SNG selection checkbox. It tries to register, but it requests that I click on the amout as a confirmation. Is this a predesigned feature?
