hi, a very kind member gave me this script for AHK so i could get the hotkeys working again on pacific poker and move the bet slider with the scroll wheel. however i have no real idea how to make it work with AHK as i have never used this program before. this is the guide i have been following but i have had no joy making the scroll wheel work.

(1) Download and install Autohotkey.

(2) Right-click desktop (or whatever location on your disk), choose New > Autohotkey Script.

(2a) Rename the new script from "New AutoHotkey Script.ahk" to "Your Choice of Name.ahk". Don't forget the ".ahk"!

(3) Right-click file, choose Edit Script.

(4) Paste in whatever script, save and close.

(5) Double-click file to run script.

then i try it on pacific and it doesn't work. obviously i have been fiddling about a lot trying out any variables i can think of that may make a difference. i am assuming if i have pacific running and then open the script it should just kick in without me having to restart pacific.

am i doing something wrong? can anyone help? i just need to be guided through it as its the first time i have used the program and i know absolutely nothing about scripts and programming.

also would it be possible for me to change the from the scroll wheeling to the left and arrow keys to change the bet amount. i don't suppose anyone out there has anymore pacific scripts while we are on the subject. maybe some truly amazing person will know how to make pokerpad support pacific. thanks again to pomtidom who wrote the code featured below.

Code:

GroupAdd, Pacific, Hold'em ahk_class #32770

~WheelUp::
ChangeCurrentValue( 1 )
return

~WheelDown::
ChangeCurrentValue( -1 )
return

^WheelUp::
ChangeCurrentValue( 2 )
return

^WheelDown::
ChangeCurrentValue( -2 )
return

+WheelUp::
ChangeCurrentValue( 10 )
return

+WheelDown::
ChangeCurrentValue( -10 )
return

#IfWinActive, ahk_group Pacific
RButton & WheelUp::
ChangeCurrentValue( 10 )
return

MButton & WheelUp::
ChangeCurrentValue( 10 )
return

RButton & WheelDown::
ChangeCurrentValue( -10 )
return

MButton & WheelDown::
ChangeCurrentValue( -10 )
return
#IfWinActive

GetCurrentValue( id )
{
ControlGetText, amount, Edit1, ahk_id %id%
return amount
}

ChangeCurrentValue( amount )
{
MouseGetPos, , , id
WinGetTitle, title, ahk_id %id%
If ( SubStr( title, 1, 8 ) = "Hold'em " )
{
pos := InStr( title, "/$" )
bb := SubStr( title, pos + 2, 2 )
sb := bb // 2
val := GetCurrentValue( id )
; if ( val = 2 * bb and amount > 0 )
; {
; val := Round( 3.5 * bb, 0 )
; }
; else
; {
val := val + amount * sb
; }
; MsgBox, %val%
ControlSetText, Edit1, %val%, ahk_id %id%
}
}

Are you on Vista? See if any of this helps perhaps. Also make sure your monitor settings are on 32 bit color.

I don't play on Pacific, or use Pokerpad, but these are all general AHK/Vista suggestions.

ah,,, forgot to mention i'm using XP. thanks very much for the help though, will any of that apply to XP?

Only the install and editing portion. The 32 bit display settings will definitely matter.

The desktop composition, aero glass, and UAC stuff, is all vista related.
