StarsGamepad improved, works with any pokerroom now

[Thois]

Hi,
This is a script that allows you to play poker with your gamepad. You need the program AutoHotKey to run this script.

I modified the script made by some guy at overcards.com called "StarsGamepad", thanks to his effort i was able to create this new version.

His version was not customizable, you had to position the tables just the way it was programmed and it only worked for PokerStars.

OK, so whats different?
Well, when u start my script, the script prompts you to right-mouse click all the buttons of your poker table(s). By doing so, the script will remember the exact location X and Y for these buttons (Fold, check/call, bet/raise, slider left & slider right), up to 4 tables (use the L & R buttons to switch tables). After you have done this, you are ready to play using your customized settings.

So finally you can play any poker room, use any table size and position the tables anywhere you want.

Feel free to edit or improve stuff. My thanks goes out to the guy that created the original code, he did some nice programming.

Feel free to ask questions or report bug reports.

Now i have added check-box functionality as well.

So first you assign the (pre-action) check-box position for check/fold
Then you assign the real button position for check/fold.

etc

Absolute / Relative Screen bug fixed, coordinates are now all absolute to the screen dimensions. Everything works fine now, you'll be playing poker with your gamepad in 3 seconds.

BTW This is how it works:
1 - Right-click all the buttons asked for (if you want to play just one table, just right click the buttons for the other tables in the dark)
2 - Now you first have to select a table with the L-R buttons, L1 is table 1. If you dont select a table, nothing will happen when you press the buttons of your gamepad.
3 - You are set to play,
(I used the PlayStation symbols to describe the buttons you will have to use)
left-right controls the bet slider
Square controls the fold button
X controls check/call button
O controls bet/raise button
L1, L2, R1, R2 selects the table, L1 is table 1 etc

THIS IS THE ADVANCED VERSION (WITH SEPARATE CHECKBOX ASSIGNMENT). This is necesairy for some sites which have the pre-action checkboxes at different places than the main buttons.

Seems cool, I don't have a playstation gamepad though, mmh I think I have a old computer one though. My guess is that this program is better suited for a large LCD (tv) setup rather then a desktop one.

I just used the playstation gamepad symbols to make clear what buttons to use, you can use any gamepad really. I just use it because i hate my mouse, my arm gets tired after a while + Using a gamepad to play poker is more fun, its like playing a computer game

Couldn't you just use F1,F2,F3 instead of simulating pushing buttons for fold,call,raise? Would save a bit of the setup process and might make it easier.

[Thois]

U mean F1, F2 and F3 on the keyboard? I liked the idea of playing with a gamepad and its more comfortable, you can lean back.

[kruschel]

No, I mean Ongame has F1,F2,F3 functions built into the program for fold/check/raise. Your script now tries to map a mouseclick onto a certain area as one of these actions when you could just simulate a keystroke instead.
It just seems simpler to program and implement.

yeah but not all poker rooms work like this

i made this script because i play a lot of poker rooms and i needed something that would work with all of them

[kruschel]

Sorry, bit of a misunderstanding. I read your title as any Pokerroom skin, that's where the confusion came from.
In this case, of course, your solution is brilliant, I'm gonna have to try it out some time.
