New mucked cards tool for Absolute and WorldPx/WPX/WPEX/WSEX

[pankwindu]

(That ought to be enough search terms for WorldPx!)

Introducing Pankwindu Mucked Cards, a free utility to reveal mucked cards after showdown. Works with Absolute and WorldPx.

Why Absolute, when PAHUD already supports it? Because there is a bug in PAHUD that sometimes shows the wrong hole cards, so I thought I'd try to make one that works. I believe that goal is accomplished; at least in testing when running them together I've had my tool show the right cards at the very same time PAHUD is showing the wrong ones.

Why WorldPx? Because there aren't many other tools out there that already do this for WPX.

The program, including C# source code, is released under a BSD-style license, which basically means: 1) I provide no warranty and accept no liability for anything that might happen to you or your loved ones as a result of using this program, and 2) you can pretty much do whatever the heck you want with the code as long as you understand/acknowledge that I retain the original copyright.

Source code: http://pankwindu.com/poker/Pankwindu...SourceCode.zip

To use the program, just download, unzip into a folder of your choosing, and run the PankwinduMuckedCards.exe file.

Note, you will need the .NET Framework 2.0, most computers have it these days but if not download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...;DisplayLang=en

At startup, the configuration screen will appear, and you can define your Absolute and WorldPx folders.



The Test Layout button will show dummy cards on any currently open window so you can check where the cards will appear.



To actually change the layout, you have to edit the .config file in the same folder as the .exe. Open it in Notepad and at the bottom you will see settings for various table sizes in the form of "(123,45) (234,56) ..." and so on. These are X,Y pixel coordinate pairs with the first pair representing Seat 1, etc. You might have to experiment with it a bit, but basically you can just change a coordinate, make sure to SAVE the file, then hit Test Layout again to see the new position.

Once you're done with configuration, the program sits in the taskbar tray, and you should start seeing mucked cards. Note, for WorldPx, you have to be playing in a hand to see mucked cards. Absolute will show mucked cards on any observed table. Right-click the tray icon to reenter configuration mode or quit the program.

Enjoy! Please post any bugs/feedback here.
