Unofficial Update for Ongame Players

I've spent some time today looking into some problems Poker Copilot has been having with Ongame. Notably, I had misunderstood how preferred seating worked in Ongame. I've adjusted Poker Copilot to handle this. Now you are required to set a preferred seat in your Ongame software for Poker Copilot's HUD to work.

One Person with Two Accounts Playing on Ongame?

I suspect a person can create an account with one Ongame partner, create a second account with another Ongame partner, and play on both accounts at the same table at the same time. I'm not certain as I didn't want to test this and get my accounts banned.

In trying to understand how the different Ongame Network clients prevent hand history files from interfering with each other, I played on two Ongame partners at once: bwin and Betfair. I signed in as notasteve on bwin, and as stevoski222 on Betfair.

I went to the play tables, and played on two different tables, one per account. However I noticed that I could see the same tables, and - potentially - play at the same table with two different user accounts.

Same IP address, same computer, same tables, different Ongame partners, different accounts. I think Ongame ought to fix this quickly.

 

 

Small Tweaks in Poker Copilot Preferences

Showing Hand History Folders in Finder

In Mac OS X Lion, Finder doesn't show the "Library" folder anymore(although there are several ways to access it). Some online poker rooms supported by Poker Copilot store their hand history files within Library, so to help you get to these files, I've added "Show in Finder" to Poker Copilot's list of hand history folders:

This will force the folder to appear in Finder.

 

Incomplete Language Packs

Some of Poker Copilot's translations are quite incomplete. I think it may be jarring for some people to use half-translated software. So I've categorised several of the translation packs as "incomplete". They are currently Spanish (Spain), Russian, Polish. Portuguese (Portugal), and Portuguese (Brazil). From the next update, Poker Copilot won't use any of these translations until I mark them as complete. However you can override this:

This is a temporary preference, which I'll remove once all the translations are complete enough.

 

Ongame Network and Poker Copilot

Poker Copilot is now working with the following Ongame Network partners:

• HeyPoker
• BwinPoker
• RedKingsPoker
• BetfairPoker
• GDPoker
• Bet24Poker
• PAFSpadePoker
• BetssonPoker
• GoalwinPoker

I haven't yet released the Poker Copilot update with this improvement. But you can try out this unofficial early-release which supports all the poker rooms listed above: http://pokercopilot.com/downloads/pokercopilot2.102_rc11.dmg

 

Buy Poker Copilot via Bank Transfer

In some European countries, bank transfers are a popular way to buy electronically. Until now you couldn't buy Poker Copilot with a bank transfer, except on an informal basis. Now it is available as a purchase option for everybody:

Our reliable, professional, successful e-commerce partner is FastSpring and they just added this new option.

 

Improvement to Appearance of HUD Popup

When you click on a player's HUD panel in Poker Copilot, you see a popup panel that shows all the stats for that player. I've tweaked this to be more compact, and to use the statistic colour-coding. The left-hand side is how it is currently; the right-hand side is how it will appear in the next Poker Copilot update:

Besides the colour-coding, the text is in a slightly smaller font and the line spacing is smaller.

If you want to try this out already, you can download an unofficial update that includes the new-look popup: http://pokercopilot.com/downloads/pokercopilot2.102_rc9.dmg

 

Improvement for Poker Copilot Translators

If you are one of the volunteer Poker Copilot translators, then you'll appreciate this new feature:

Now you can see your translations immediately in Poker Copilot without needing to wait for the next release. The workflow goes like this:

1) Make some modifications to the Google Docs translation spreadsheet for your language:

2) Wait a few minutes for Google Docs  to make the updates visible here.

3) In Poker Copilot, from the Tools menu, select "Download Language Pack Updates". They'll be fetched live from Google Docs:

4) Restart Poker Copilot

Now you'll see the updates directly in Poker Copilot:
