Unofficial Poker Copilot Update for the Brave

I’ve updated a couple of key third-party libraries in Poker Copilot. This broke some stuff, which I believe I’ve fixed. However my belief is weak so I’m making the update publicly available for anyone to try before making it the official release. Download it here.

The most significant change is that some problems with Merge Network stats are fixed. Other changes:

  • Search tournaments with free text search
  • The bottom bar now includes more info – # of tournaments and database size
  • You can view the all-in equity chart in currency ($) or in big blinds (BB)
  • Searching for players and tournaments tells you how many matches you have
  • You can use Poker Copilot in any available language without changing your computer’s language

Feedback is, as always, welcome.

 

 

 

 

Who uses BarrierePoker.fr?

Loyal Poker Copilot customer Florian asks for the France-only poker room BarrierePoker.fr to be added. As I’m not in France, I can’t get onto this poker room to check it out. So some questions:

  • do you use BarrierePoker.fr? would you like to see Poker Copilot support it?
  • how popular is BarrierePoker.fr? Are there plenty of players and tournaments there?

 

Coming in the next update: Filter tournaments by typing text

You can now filter the Tournament Summary in Poker Copilot by typing text into a search box:

You can type either a tournament number or a tournament name – both columns are checked.

This feature has existed for a long time already in the Player Summary.

This is another one of those features which I added to make my “customer support” role easier, but which I thought could be useful to some of you.

Help Wanted: BlazingStars or AHK for Merge Network

Loyal Poker Copilot customer Jon asked about creating an AHK (auto-hotkey) program for Merge Network poker rooms. I think the best approach is to take the existing work done in BlazingStars (an open source PokerStars only Mac AHK-like program) and adapt it, because the technical problems have already been solved there. Can you program in Objective-C? Want to help?

The first step of course is to invent a name. We need a name that’s witty at first, but that seems less funny each time you hear it.

 

Coming in the next update: choose a language for Poker Copilot

Until now, you had two choices for language in Poker Copilot: the language automatically chosen according to your System Preferences, or English:

Now you can pick any language that Poker Copilot knows:

I suspect the main user of this feature will be me, when I’m making screenshots to help users who are using Poker Copilot in a language other than English. But I hope this is of benefit to the occasional Poker Copilot poly-linguist.

 

MacKeeper’s "Real-time protection" breaks Poker Copilot?

If you have MacKeeper installed on your computer, and you’ve turned on its “Real-time protection”, you may find that Poker Copilot won’t start up without crashing. For now the only work-around I can offer is to turn off MacKeeper’s “Real-time protection”.

Please do let me know via email (steve@pokercopilot.com) if this problem affects you.

Thanks to loyal Poker Copilot customer Peter for tracking down and reporting this problem.
