Poker Seat Taker (New AHK Script)

Adde,

I downloaded the new version and I'm having a slight problem. It opens the tables properly, but when sitting down, it stalls when trying to buy in partially (i.e. if i want it to buy in for 60%, it types in 0 and gets an error). Note that it still works when buying in full.

Might be a regional settings problem (I use a Swedish OS). I'll look into it.

Might be some timing issues with the script. I'll look into it.

I got the script running but is there any way to change where it puts the tables after it opens them? It seems like its opening them off my desktop, to the right side, where I can't click on them. I'm not sure how this is as I don't have dual monitors or one active in my video settings. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Yes. Change these settings to something more suitable for one monitor.

pst_abs_position_x = 2395
pst_abs_position_y = 0

The above will position the tables at right on monitor 2. Change both to zero (0) to position tables at left on monitor 1. Or use this setting to position each table differently.

pst_dynamic_position = 0.0/0.575/795.0/795.575/1600.0/1600.575/2395.0/2395.575/397.288/1997.288

UPDATE:

** If percentage buyin doesn't work, there is now an option to buyin for an absolute amount. If this setting is greater than zero (0), you will buyin for that amount of dollars:

pst_buyin_amount = 0

I tried with different regional settings (US and Swedish), but couldn't repeat the percentage buyin error (it always worked!). This is the best solution I could think of for you people having this problem.

However, I set it up to use F12 as 1 table at a time and when I chose it; PST started working but almost always gave an error dialog

"Table Name could not be found in directory. Restart script and try again"

[/ QUOTE ]

Kind of hard to pin this down since I can't reproduce the error myself. This might help though...

Change this line

id := Lib_PST_WinGetID(1,"Join Wait List", "First Available", "#32770", 0)

to

id := Lib_PST_WinGetID(1,"Join Wait List", "First Available", "#32770", 5)

Does that help?

Hi Adde,

Thanks for replying.

Yes it helped in that it seems to work better but all is still not completely well.

The script seems to:-

Scan down the list in the lobby (it is filtered for the limit and number of seats that I want) and either try and take a seat or puts me on the wait list for that table.

I got the same error as before when it "saw" that 5/6 seats were taken but when it got to the table the "spare" seat was actually occupied. PST left the table but at that point the error dialog appeared. However, I am sure that the dialog is NOT related to the full table being visited because on other trials it happily opened and closed many tables without the error appearing.

I played and tested for quite some time and I saw the dialog only twice. Strangely on both occasoions, I clicked OK and PST continued as if nothing had happened. Expected?

I tested it with a full 12 tables and it happily sat down and took the 12 seats. However, it ignored the min seat request

pst_min_players = 5

but as I chose the

pst_method_is_any_table = 0

pst_current_table_list = 1

pst_join_nonfull = 1

options perhaps it does not "see" the min 5 players option.

This worked correctly for min; mid and max settings.

However, once it had joined the required number of tables, I was still on some waiting lists. It seems as if PST just leaves me on the lists but says "take me off" when the dialog saying a seat is avilable appears. Is this what it is supposed to do?

When I used the old version before on full tables, I used to press the hotkey for "1 table" and I got a reassuring beep. When the table was seated and bought in, I got a reassuring double beep and I could then request another table by pressing the hotkey again.

The beeps seem to have disappeared - I would like 'em back please [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The only time I noticed them was when each individual table had been seated and when I used the hotkey stop key shown below. There was no indication that a "mid" request of say 4 tables had ALL been fulfilled.

pst_hotkey_stop = F9

e.g. if I selected the minimum tables, PST would put me on lists/grab tables until the requirement was filled. OK - job done but no beep beep to tell me that it was over (I think)If I pressed the same key again - nothing happens. However, if I press the hotkey-stop key then I get the double beep and it has now picked up the previous keypress (keyboard queue??) and finds another minimum number of tables.

Hope this helps.

PS - if you want more please ask

PPS - even as it is this script is very useful. I just seated 9 tables via max(4); hotkeystop; mid(2);hotkeystop; mid(2); hotkeystop; min(1) with no problem at all. Thanks.

cheers

nice program

Excelent error report! I'll look into this when I'm sober. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Quick update which you probably already know about and I have probably missed elsewhere.

Autoresizer and PST together seem to cause the dialog I mentioned.

Yesterday when I tested PST it was just PST and party loaded so for sure the dialog "sometimes" pops up when AR is not running.

However, today, I ran my auto-load ahk having re-added PST and the dialog appeared constantly.

I stopped AR and the dialog problem disappeared.

There it is! AR is taking care of some dialogs, leaving PST to sit and wait for a dialog that will never appear. I quit using AR since it led to problems with PST, and instead wrote WindowGuard, which takes care of most (if not all) stuff in AR.

Try skipping AR and use WG instead, and (hopefully) tell me this bug can be closed? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hi Adde,

a quick update.

No longer using AR. I have set :-

pst_sitout = 0

and now use MTH to

"automatically click Wait for BB"

I used this setup for quite a while yesterday but I had to stop using PST in the end which was a shame [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

1) The dialog mentioned previously appeared from time to time but once again pressing OK allowed PST to continue (this is without AR running so the problem is not just that)

2)Party crashed 3 times while PST was scanning down and joining wait lists. Nothing dramatic; Party lobby and all tables just disappeared [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. Reloading party got the welcome back message and it rejoined all tables. Obviously I can't be sure that PST has caused this but it has never happened before.

Cheers
