hey dave,

first: thx for this script!

is it possible u forgot to update the overcards wiki with the latest version? (0.4d)

and also i am having some problems:
i use a dual 20" 1600x1200 setup where the right monitor is the primary one.

slots are as follows:

Sec.Mon Prim.Mon
| 5 6 | | 1 2 |
| 7 8 | | 3 4 |

i have the following problems (mostly on the left screen):

- when i simply click and drag the mouse on the 7slot table it gets exchanged with the 5slot one (pretty bad when it gets exchanged when i press a game button)
- i cant move any table onto slot8, but i can move slot8 table onto slot5 (for example) easily
- some other issues

heres my layout in the ini:

1x=-1600
1y=580

1h=580
2x=-1600
2y=0
2w=800
2h=580
3x=-800
3y=580
3w=800
3h=580
4x=-800
4y=0
4w=800
4h=580
5x=0
5y=0
5w=800
5h=580
6x=0
6y=560
6w=800
6h=580
7x=800
7y=560
7w=800
7h=580
8x=800
8y=0
8w=800
8h=580
slotcount=8
customfillorder=5,8,6,7,2,4,1,3

perhaps the script has some problems with negative positions? (when the left monitor is the secondary one)

thx in advance...

I have 2 1200 x 1600 monitors also, but the left one is the primary. My .ini file looks similar.

I also get the "tables swap with the position above" frequently EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO TABLE ABOVE! My solution is once I get my tables open I uncheck the "Enable...Arrange Tables." It does get annoying when I forget. <grin> It doesn't happen all the time, it is hard to recreate on purpose, but it does happen within a minute or two.

I have tried to recreate by:
- down click, move mouse a little, up click
- down click, don't move mouse, up click
I can't get it to do it on purpose, but....

It has happened when I click a pre-action button, an action button, moving the bet slider (all ways possible). I have even had it happen when I have BetPot running and I am just moving the mouse wheel.

I can live with this, but I'd love to get it fixed.

I just got thew words wrong [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] the one on overcards now 0.4b is the latest. If the one you are running stops you moving the lobby when "keep lobby up" is selected, it is the latest [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

All the above issues are caused by a "confused" layout section in the ini file... you are quite correct, it has "issues" correctly sorting negative co-ordinates on the Y axis. I have not yet found a metod to fix this in the code.. hopefully when stars ships me a FPP Samsung 204b I'll be able to test a monitor on the left and I'll figure something out [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think this is a fixed ini file layout section for you:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
1x=-1600
1y=0
1w=800
1h=580
2x=-1600
2y=580
2w=800
2h=580
3x=-800
3y=0
3w=800
3h=580
4x=-800
4y=580
4w=800
4h=580
5x=0
5y=0
5w=800
5h=580
6x=0
6y=560
6w=800
6h=580
7x=800
7y=0
7w=800
7h=580
8x=800
8y=560
8w=800
8h=580

slotcount=8
customfillorder=5,7,6,8,1,3,2,4
</pre><hr />

Hi Okayplayer,

Is there a way to not have it close a new table (where you have a reserved seat) if you already have 6 tables open in a 6table layout? If I am getting ready to switch games, I get on waitlists before I leave the 6th table, and when the 7th opens up, it automatically closes and I lose my reserved seat.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeas, as Kitty said you will have to make a new layout with some spare "slots" for new tables to open up in... these can be different sizes (like small) or overlapping, so you could have say 3 spare slots stacked up away from your normal 6 tables, for example.

This would however be tricky to do if you can't see the StarsPlanner interface:

Is there a way to switch layouts while the program and Stars is running? I have layouts for 6 and 4 tables, and when I get down to 4, I'd like to be able to swicth to that layout.

(the program is in the bottom task bar and will not open up to its "window" which allows me to switch to different layouts. I tried closing and re-opening, and it just went to the original 6 table layout)


[/ QUOTE ]

Right click on the program's tray icon (green "H") and choose "Reset GUI Position" That should bring it up on screen.

Once you have the GUI visible, you can switch layouts at will just by changing the drop-down box. This has the side effect of re-tiling them all according to your fill order, so useful if you close a couple of tables and want to "fill in the gaps", just change it to the same layout [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Be careful not to choose a layout with less tables in it than you have open, or it will close some of them (and probably freak out while you click "Do you really want to leave", It's not auto-confirming that one in the latest release).

thx! with this fixed layout i wasnt getting any errors on a quick test.
i rotated a table clockwise and counterclockwise through the slots on each screen and it worked fine.
also the random-swap-on-mouse-click-n-drag was gone (tested on areas where it previously had been bugged)

i do own 2x Samsung 204Bs - hope yours will be shipped soon

thanks again [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

btw: can you tell me how to fix a layout? since i got the same problems with party ahk planner [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
