iWitness v2

[MFM00]

Sorting by table name, instead of Avg Pot makes a huge difference in my case. Much more reliable openig tables.

Has anybody modified the script so it will work with EmpirePoker?

This would be highly appreciated.

Roland can you possibly get iWitness to work with the newly re-integrated Empire client which is again part of Party and allows 12 tables max?
nice for mining on separate workstations w/o any tricks.

I haven't really been involved with the iWitness script, so can't really be that much help, but you could try this until Roland or Sam gets time to fix it:

Open the script in NotePad or WordPad and use the "search and replace" option:

Search for: PartyPoker.com

Replace with: EmpirePoker

NOTE: This won't quite work as expected I guess, but it's worth a try... If this doesn't work, then try getting one of the old versions of iWitness and doing the same search and replace.

First of all, thanks to Roland, Sam and Juk for all the great free scripts/programs you've made for us.

I modified the script so it works for Empire now and with 12 tables. It's been running for some hours now and seems to work just fine (for the SNGs at least). It took a little more work than a search and replace, not much though. I hope I didn't introduce any bugs, but I can't guarantee I didn't.

So, should I just paste the entire script here or maybe on the overcards forum?

What happens if you just let it scroll, and come back 10 minutes later?

I let it run for about 5 hrs. I had it set to open 10 5/10 tables. When I got back I had:
6 5/10 tables
1 3/6 table
2 2/4 tables

The iWitness window showed that I only had 4 5/10 tables open and no 3/6 or 2/4 tables. I then sat and watched it for a few minutes and after a bit it did the usual dance through the tables and then minimized.

I sorted the tables by name instead of by # of players like I had it. This helped a bit but only to get the results I listed. Before doing this the most tables I got open was one.

Juk: the problem doesn't seem to be the read access while the files are being written to. It looks like iWitness is adding the tables to a list as it's opening them, and then dumping that list to the .ini file. And when checking the open tables for conformance, it simply reads the .ini file, assuming contents of the .ini file=actual open tables. Problem is the the list of tables (and therefore the .ini files) often fall out of sync with the windows that are actually open.

I think the cure is to scan all the open windows on the desktop and update the table list and the .ini file that way.

You should post it into the Wiki. If your version is Empire-Only, make a separate Wiki page for it. If you need help with the Wiki just give me a holler at the OC forums.

[/ QUOTE ]This is of course the way the program once worked. Roland did major rewrites, mostly surrounding the switch to multi-limits; I'm barely aware of how this current version works at all. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Your description above seems correct, though.

Roland, do you want to chime in here? There are quite a few bugs in the current version. I only care about one limit, so it's tempting to roll back a version for myself to the copy that was lightning fast and networking worked. (With the current version, I routinely see iWitness randomly scrolling through the full list of tables; it doesn't look like the app is on target when it passes over valid tables for no reason. I manage to observe fine in the long-run, but the short-run looks busted.)

With my name listed (far) second on the author-list, I'd feel embarassed to use a non-current version. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Perhaps I could make a spin-off a seperate project with the other model, but I don't even know the rationale for altering the structure to begin with. This would be a major rollback, though, and I don't want to waste any of your work, so I want your input. It's just frustrating that things don't work which once did.

Mogobu, I've created a wiki page for it as you suggested. It's up on iWitnessEmpire . It's just the code for now, maybe you can set it up like the other wiki pages?

[bhudson]

Sam,

Just dumping my thoughts here - I don't know why the script mismatches so frequently, but a quick fix could be (assuming the list is sorted on name) to re-read the list of tables on the very first mismatch and calculate how many up or down keystrokes are needed to get back in sync. Right now I think it just hits D 5 times and moves onto the next table in the search list, which of course never manages to resync.

If anyone want to pick up the Empire version, there's a link off the main iWitness page to the iWitness Empire page.
