That may well be better.

Problem is I guess, everyone thinks their "what HUD is best?" question is far from easy, it is in fact very difficult, urgent and of utmost urgency imo

I will make a new sticky, with a link to this and an index of monster threads - but it's gonna take me some time...

Unlocked stickies are a no-no IIRC.

....I think I hate postgresql.

Every time a session approaches 1000 hands, my pgsql db crashes and ahk starts to flip out, causes a shared memory violation, and crashes my system. i just flopped a set or a great board and had my computer crash, causing me to fold it. i want to kill computers.

anyone know anything about pgsql and know how to read the dump files?

I mentioned this in the PT3 thread - enable postgresql logging, and check windows event viewer - see if there are any clues why it is crashing.

Is your system "stable"? Can you try Prime95 "torture test", Memtest86 or similar to verify?

Yeah, I've run both Prime95 and OCCT on it; it's stable for up to an hour, I haven't left it on overnight though.

One dump test has said this:

Good, so hardware problems are pretty much ruled out. I presume you have masses of free disk space?

This is postgres 8.3 yes? First thing I'd try is to get 8.2 going and see if it behaves similarly.

This is 8.2; I haven't updated because I'm still using PT2 for pokerev and because I can't backup my PT3 DB (at least, I don't know how) yet.

I've got about 100 gb of free hd space, too.

Do anyone know if is 8.3 stable enough to use for deployment? I know it's supposed to be stable but I've heard of some possible bugs and I'm reluctant to use it.

oh I presume this has been running for a good while then without similar problems in the past? maybe it is AHK-HUD or PT3 spannering it then, however unlikely

mention of "autovacuum" made me think it was 8.3, I thought that was disabled by default in 8.2. It is the latest 8.2.6 running, yes?

AP10 or Josh will know most about this I think - they've been packaging 8.3 with the beta for a while now. FWIW I do not remember any 8.3 specific bugs being posted in the PT3/PostgreSQL forum

EDIT: I'm running 8.2 myself until 8.3 hits the stable tree on gentoo (haven't checked in a week however)

8.2.5... it was the version packaged with beta 3, i believe. to be honest, i never used ahk until you made the HUD -- at which time i realized how awesome it was.

Is it possible to edit font/fonts colors at all anymore in Pokerstar themes?

Or are the only things you can really do in PStars themes are card deck mods, and editing the images for themes (but cant change font, color, location of items, etc anymore)?

Also is it possible to make the avatar and box around usernames/stack in Pstars transparent?

or at least change the shape?

No - it's controlled by an encrypted GX.INI.

Here is a q. Why doesn't one of the three new trackers add support for some of the smaller sites right away? It can't take too long to add a hand history parser and I'm sure lots of people will just install the first tracker to add support for their site. For example, I will download/install the first tracker to add UB support and them probably just stick with it due to inertia/laziness. Seems like an easy way to widen your customer base/corner that area of the market.

I've emphasized the answer in your quote. The sites are smaller. Therefore there are less players on them. If there's a choice between adding support for a site that has many thousands of players on it (thus more potential users for our software), and adding support for a site that only has at most a few thousand players (thus fewer potential users), the larger site makes more sense.

That being said, PT2 currently supports a very large number of sites, and with PT3, our goal will be to support the same sites as soon as possible. We will, though, be adding them according to their size.

I understand that argument (ldo). It just seems silly to completely ignore a market segment that currently has no competition (I am excluding PT2 as I already use it but want to upgrade). Being the first to release a product that supports these smaller markets seems like an easy way to widen your customer base and generate future sales.

I play at all the major sites in addition to some smaller sites and I would love to give my money for one of these products. The first one to support UB likely gets my money. I'm sure there are many others like me.

Just food for thought, ultimately I don't care which one of the three products succeeds as long as one of them meets my needs.
