Party Poker opens tables in weird spot...

[rjoefish]

I'm having an annoying problem with Party Poker's client. When I open a table it will open just fine if I do not currently have a table open and in the upper left hand corner of my monitor. I use 2 monitors and the client and tables stay on the main one, which is on the left.

Now, here is the problem, when I open a table and already have a table open in the upper left hand corner, which I assume is the default position, all other tables open in the middle of the screen more than 3/4th out to the bottom of the screen. Looks like this:




This is getting incredibly annoying as I sometimes it prevents me from opening multiple good tables and sitting in them if they are near full ( I play 6max) and I am often missing out on some pretty primo seats.

Does anyone know what is causing this and what I can do to fix it? Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It absolutely is, although just occasionally it crashes.

There was another post about 3 months ago from a guy with the same trouble. Basically PP's software 'intelligently' places your 2nd and subsequent tables if the best location is being used. If you have 2+ monitors PP's idea of where to put the later tables can be pretty screwy, especially if you have unusual monitor sizes.

I wrote a little AHK script for him (for the thread), as follows. It may be of use to you (you'll need to tweak the MaxScreenCol and MaxScreenRow to suit your setup).

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
;
; Moves any Party tables that are off-screen, back onto screen
;
; Runs continually
;
; ---------------------------------------------------------
; USER CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES
; ---------------------------------------------------------

CycleTime = 5000 ; How many milliseconds between checks of table positions

TitleBarContains := "Good Luck" ; Or you could use your nickname.

MaxScreenCol = 1600 ; Or whatever the values are for your screen
MaxScreenRow = 1200

MoveToX = 0 ; all off-screen tables get moved to here
MoveToY = 0

; ---------------------------------------------------------
; START OF MAIN CODE
; ---------------------------------------------------------

SetTitleMatchMode = 2 ; Contains
TitleBarContains := "Good Luck" ; Or you could use your nickname.

Loop
{
id =
WinGet, id, list,,, Program Manager
Loop, %id%
{
StringTrimRight, this_id, id%a_index%, 0
WinGetTitle, this_title, ahk_id %this_id%
IfNotInString, this_title, %TitleBarContains%
continue

; Have found a party poker table, so check its position
WinGetPos, IsAtX, IsAtY, ,, %this_title%
If (IsAtX &gt; MaxScreenCol or IsAtY &gt; MaxScreenRow)
WinMove, %this_title%,, %MoveToX%, %MoveToY%
}
Sleep, %CycleTime%
}
</pre><hr />


Or you could just use PartyPlanner.
