FPHG available

[drogo]

I didn't download it.

You just make a PokerNow.exe file.

Open Win explorer. Go to TOOLS > [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] FOLDER OPTIONS > VIEW.

Make sure the option HIDE EXTENSIONS FOR KNOWN FILE TYPES is UNCHECKED.

Then right click in your FPHG folder and NEW > TEXT DOC.

Change PokerNow.txt to PokerNow.exe.

ah ha, thanks. Now I'm able to point it to pokernow.exe so it should work fine. I wonder why empire.exe doesn't work anymore? That's just weird

[Necromancer]

I think it's bc PT has been updated to work with the new empire.

PS: I am sorry but I'm not much help with fixing PT problems, I can help fix FPHG problems/bugs as it is under my control, but when it comes to PT I am no wiser than anybody else here. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Ok, I finally got mine working. Great program thanks alot by the way.

EmpirePokerMaster.exe did not work for me, it kept finding the tables but not importing any new hands.

Pokernow ended up working and now everything seems to be going good.

When I want to play however since I didn't go the route of changing the HHF's to text and putting it in my HH folder, do I just have to close up the program and play and do my own auto importing as usual with my play? If I want to mine while I play but I have the HHF files being written to a folder on my desktop, what happens? It duplicates the files and throws the stats off? Should I just do this if I don't want duplicates:

(1) Copy FreePHG.exe and run.bat into the hand history folder which is located under the Party Poker folder (it is where your own hand histories get stored).

(2) Edit run.bat to look like this:

@echo off
FreePHG.exe -e txt

(3) Run run.bat, and you should now start to get the observed HHs saved as .txt files.

(4) Setup PT to import as usual from the hand history folder.

Basically am just unsure of what would happen when I go to play and try to still datamine.

I don't think PT will actually import the duplicate hands, but if you want to make sure FPHG does not write hands you are involved in then make sure you have v0.06 of FPHG and change step 4 to edit run.bat like so:

@echo off
FreePHG.exe -o -e txt

I have a problem.

PT seems to be importing hands but when browsing through the players' general info in the database I've noticed that just one out of like 15-20 players does have some data stored about him.

These few players have been recorded as they played only several hands.

I've created a pokernow.exe dummy in the FPHG folder and used the auto-import party & affiliates icon ( the PP chip icon).

Could this be the source of the problem? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
I've switched to using the lightning bolt icon now and I'm waiting to see the results.

Thank you!

If you open up the files FPHG is making, is FPHG saving the files, if so then it is something to do with PT (which I'm afraid I can't help with, as I have no idea what has been done to PT to break the importing procedure for observed hands...).

I would just like to make something 100% clear, as I seem to be getting tons of emails and PMs asking me stuff which I cannot help with:

I am not <u>in any way</u> affiliated to either PokerTracker or PokerAceHUD, but people seem to think I am some how and keep asking me to help fix problems I have no idea about... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I wrote FPHG to simply save hand histories for <u>any</u> piece of software capable of importing them (ie: PokerTracker, PokerManager and PokerOffice). If the problem is with FPHG doing something wrong then I can fix it, but if it is some strange problem with PT not importing the hands then I have no more idea of what PT Pat has changed than anybody else... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So all I am asking is that people direct their emails and PM to the person who can actaully help (I don't know anymore about PT or PAHUD than anybody else here...). I am still happy to help with setting up FPHG, and I am considering adding a nicer GUI to avoid all the questions about using batch files and command line arguments.

This is just a selection of my PM's that I have got over the last few days:

[ QUOTE ]
I don't understand how to use options like -6max and -s and -d, etc.

How do I input these? As a 6max player, I need my PAHUD to display for 6max tables

[/ QUOTE ]
Like I said above, I have no affiliation to PAHUD so this question should be directed to PokerAce Josh. As far as I know PAHUD now has options to treat tables as 6max (and so does PT) and the -6max option I added may or may not help PAHUD work - I simply don't know, if you ask him then he can tell you. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

As far as using the options, then I have explained this maybe 3/4 times in the last few days alone, in 3/4 different threads, but it basically consists of editing run.bat and then running run.bat, and if this doesn't work then create a shortcut in windows and edit the Target option to have these command line options on.

can u tell me how to permanently input the hhs into my database? I have the lightning thing set up to read my observed hands and everything is displayin properly giving meedge even before i sit in but when i close everything and then check for a certain player from my observed games, I dont see them??? I guess what Im tryin to say is that I can see the stats when I open pahud but the observed hands(players etc) is not in my ptracker MY DATABASE. All I see there are the ones where I actually sat in and played. I guess as long as I see their stat on pahud everything is cool.

[/ QUOTE ]
Again, this is 100% a PAHUD/PT problem, so this should be directed at PT Pat/PA Josh (not me!). [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[ QUOTE ]
I had it working fine for months. I got back into town and noticed that pokertracker wasn't importing any files from the observed tables, then I checked to see what directory it was looking in. If I go to pokertracker, program file locations, browse and then to freephg the only file or folder it shows it freephg v0.06. It doesn't show the empire.exe icon anymore even though it's there! I don't know if this happened when I updated it to version 4 or if it's been this way all along. Have you had any other issues like this?

[/ QUOTE ]
Again, I cannot help here. This should be directed to PT Pat. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[ QUOTE ]
sorry to have to PM u and bother u but i am having fits getting PT to import the HH, when i do it says reading 6 files........then 0 hands were imported, sorry again for the noob questions, but i am computer illiterate and if u could help me with this one problem id be on my merry way and have everything up n running that i'll ever need thank you very much

The same way as you edit any other file on your PC. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Just right click on it and their is an option which says edit, if that's not their then use the "Open with" option and tell it to open with notepad or wordpad.

As soon as I get time, then I'll add a GUI and option setting will be easier (I decided against this before, but their seems no reason to not now).

It's easier to use the lighteneing bold in PT than to do the whole "pokernow.exe" hack.
