NEW AHK Script: StarsPlanner (Auto Resize / Arrange Tables)

When you say you have dificulty drag/dropping the tables - maybe you are unaware it uses the top/left corner of the window to determine which slot to swap with?

[/ QUOTE ]

I did. I tried hard to put the whole table exactly(almost) on the underlying table.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't - a tiny positional error (1 pixel) in this case would cause aiming for slot 3 to actually hit slot 1. try putting the top/left corner of the dragged table in the centre of the target table.

Also, are you using a an XP theme other than "Windows Classic"? Like standard XP "tellytubby" theme? I did my testing of your layout on my standard Win2K style classic theme, maybe problems manifest on a different theme...

Thanks, dave. I will try again tonight when I get home.

this seems to work most times. it would be great if the drag/drop works as long as the top/left corner of the dragged table in the rectangle of the target slot, empty or not.

thanks, dave!

Now that _dave_ fixed my .ini file, that's how it works for me. If the 'slot' is empty, the table moves there. If the 'slot' is not empty, the tables switch positions. Works every time. (before the .ini fix, it worked about 1/2 the time, sometimes tables wouldn't move or they'd switch with the wrong table. It was hard to move then to an empty slot.)

Hi KittyLiquor,

[ QUOTE ]

If I open up PokerStars, then open PokerTracker, then start StarPlanner...StarPlanner doesn't move PS to the correct 'slot' and sometimes moves the PS lobby 'slot' to the default PS position (center of screen 1). If I open up PS, then StarsPlanner, it works perfectly. Then I can open up everything else and it works fine.


[/ QUOTE ]

Strange behaviour indeed, I probably have something checks/commands in the wrong order somewhere in the lobby moving function, will check it out trying to open things in different orders.

[ QUOTE ]

Does StarsPlanner depend on PS lobby being the active window when it opens?


[/ QUOTE ]
No. In fact, I always follow the same routine - after a reboot, PT - set the timer going, minimize to tray. Then open all scripts, then Stars. Mostly I just close Stars and hibernate/standby the poker computer, so reboots are rare - but I am often opening/closing Stars. Planner stays running all the time for me.

[ QUOTE ]

And why does StarsPlanner change my .ini file without me specifically trying to change my layout?


[/ QUOTE ]
It should change the ini file whenever it is closed - it records the layout you have selected, position of itself/lobby on screen, and the state of the checkboxes so it can open up next time in the same state.

It shouldn't ever change the [layouts] section unless you press one of the capture/configure/delete layout buttons, then it will rewrite the inifile to reflect changes.

[ QUOTE ]

Also, sometimes when I rebuy chips it 'hangs' on the 'how many chips' screen.

You can see the HMC screen being made active, then the PS lobby being made active, and back and forth very quickly.

It is almost like StarsPlanner...

looks for the HMC window
finds it
then StarsPlanner interrupts itself
looks for the lobby
finds it
then looks for the HMC window again
rinse and repeat over and over.

If I point to the 'OK' button in the HMC window and click very, very quickly, over and over I can get it to go away, but the lobby is taking focus so quickly I have to do it over and over again. (Takes me about 10 to 15 mouse clicks, all within 1/2 second)


[/ QUOTE ]

I consider this one a major PITA - it has been this way since Stars update changed the dialogs to "no visible text".

Thank you for the detailed report - I hadn't noticed it activating the lobby (mostly I am mashing the mouse so I don't time out) - and I think that this info will lead to a fix [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Now thats what I could not quite figure out. I compared your own ini file and Dave's fixed file (below. the left column is dave's ini file, the right column is yours). dave re-arranged the table slots layout and then changed the fill order. everything else remains exactly the same. why would that change the swapping behavior? dave?

dave's:
135
246
fill order=2,4,1,3,5,6

yours:
345
126
fill order=1,2,3,4,5,6

My init file is actually very similar to Dave's:
13 57
24 68
fill order=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Oh, Dave tested my ini file and it seemed working fine on his machine. Maybe just something wrong with my computer

Thanks!

bill,

I just spent a bunch of time trying to figure this out. The more I worked the more confused I got. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So.....

I have no explainations, but try this:
(make your Windows task bar single high, not double high)

_dave_

If the topmost pixel = 0 (as in 1x=0)
then a table that is 576 pixels high
means the bottom row is row 575, right?

Then if table 2 is placed 2x = 577
then there should be a 1 pixel gap, right?????

There ain't!

[billxo1b]

thanks kitty. I will try 800X576 table size.

I'm having a problem where when I open up stars planner, I can't actually restore it. It just stays on my taskbar. It automatically rebuys for me fine, but I can't turn on or off any of the other functions. Sorry if this problem has been discussed already, I haven't read through the whole thread.
