.In the new version, the title is not written in Korean. Is there any way to display text (Korean)?

I just noticed this is an issue in the Android version, it works on Windows. I'll look into it. Thanks for reporting!

v1.6.1 has been released that fixes this issue. Thanks again!

A site where I can download the new previous version (1.5.4?)? Or can I get the A.P.K. file by mail? The reason is that in the previous version, the HDMI cable was connected to the mobile phone to enlarge the TV, and the level up option or revine check was performed by connecting the Bluetooth mouse, but the mouse is not working in the new version.

I've placed the old version on this website for the time being.

May I ask, what type of mouse is this?

.Is it possible to change the picture part so that it can be hidden or done?

Not 100% sure if I understand your question correctly, but I'm currently working on an update where you'll be able to hide some info from the dashboard if you like. But with the current version that is not possible, no.

Thx. ^^v.

Request to display text as well as numbers in the percentage field.

If you check "Custom payout" you can do that!

Bugs:

1. Mirrored displays' voice announcements are one level BEHIND on the mirrored device.

While device 'A' (broadcaster) is saying "The Big Blind is 100...", device 'B' (receiver) is saying "The Big Blind is 50...".

2. I can't get an mp3 file to play on test or live.

When I change the default sounds to Star Trek sounds the Default Sound still plays.

When I put new sound in 'Level Warning (3s)' or 'Player Left Tournament' nothing plays at all.

Do the sounds need to be in a specific directory?

3. Continuous scroll without 10s delay.

Not really a bug, but it's just frustrating to wait that long for the scroll to start again.

It might be why some people think it's not working.

Maybe a shorter (3s?) delay?

Thanks again!

(suggestions after a while 😉)

Thanks for this! On it.

I fixed the 1st and 3rd issue in the latest build, but could not reproduce the 2nd. Could you maybe give me a link to the mp3 files you're trying to use? Thx!

BarryD95451 year ago

It's just mp3 files within the device.

Shall I send them?

If possible, yes please. If I can reproduce the issue then it will be easy to fix.

I am honored. 😎

Is it too soon to mention a few things? 😇

I'm having a hard time figuring out Trello.

Mention away :)

It's not possible to add cards on the board, but giving input and feedback (as you did) is indeed possible. Feature requests I add myself to avoid people spamming the board.

BarryD95451 year ago

Aaaahhhhhh..... I feel a bit less not as smart, now that I know that. 😁

BarryD95452 years ago (1 edit)

Still love your amazing app!!

I'm running Android.

The code in the corner for matchmaking disappears when I rotate the screen and doesn't reappear.

I'm not seeing the import/export buttons. Is it still pending for us android using poker geeks?

Also, would love to use exact numbers and text instead of only percentages as our charity prizes are gifts rather than cash (gift card, prize basket, hotel weekend, etc.).

Could the "prizes" scroll, or flip screens to show all prizes?

Last request, would it be possible to edit the entire time (of level) column at once, rather than change each level from 10 minutes to 20 minutes one at a time? Perhaps even change "all below" (kind of like a spreadsheet might)?

Thanks again for your awesomeness!!!

Barry

Florida Charity Tournaments

Oh my, good catch of the matchmaking code rotate bug, I'll fix that asap.

Indeed, the export/import should now come into a next update, the networking was a quite invasive change so I did not spend much time in other features.

I'll look into those other things too, I'd love them too indeed.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated!

The_Joaking2 years ago

Loving the app! Thank you very much. Couple of questions:

1) When running the tournament manager, parts of the text in the upper right corner of my screen disappears. My screen doesn't seem to be wide enough.

2) I'd like the boxes with information about the current blind level and next blind level to be white text on seethrough background instead of dark text inside white text boxes. Can I change this myself, or is it something you have to change?

I've added a screenshot showing both the disappearing text in the top right corner, and what I'd like the blind level design to look like

1/ To be able to check: Is this the latest version? What is the resolution of the screen? I'll check if I can reproduce it.

2/ I'd have to change this... An option to toggle between black on white vs white on black seems doable yes. Adding it on my trello board.

Love what you did with the title :)

I've just released a new version, could you confirm whether this has this same issue? Thx!

The_Joaking2 years ago

It fixed the issue, thank you!

If it's not too much to ask, it would be lovely if you could reply to this post once/if you add the option to change the white textbox graphics. Cheers!

Just downloaded and can't wait to host my first game using this product. I'm having issues finding eveything this program can do. Having issues saving all the information I input such as blinds and cost. where am I going wrong...

Thanks...

ItFellOnDeafEars2 years ago

Hi Bob, I'm trying to understand where it goes wrong for you - in the editor view where you change blinds and everything there is a button in the lower right corner that looks like an old diskette (next to the Start button). If you click that, a pop up will confirm that the settings have been saved.

I'm a fan of the new update; great work Alex!

We have a poker game every 6 weeks; the last 2 tournaments your clock has been used and it's been great!

A couple of suggestions on my wishlist :-)

The font sizes of the prize pay-outs; could the size be increased for easier reading?
Is there any chance a seating feature could be implemented? (Table draws to start with?)
Hitting spacebar on the laptop to pause the clock.

ava2 years ago(+1)

Hi and thanks!

Love your suggestions, I'm putting them on my Trello board

I'll see what I can do with suggestion 1. I'd love suggestion 2 myself and it's actually something I'm planning to do together with a friend of mine. It's not such a small feature so it will take some time.

Suggestion 3 yes! Why didn't I think of that myself either. Putting it in today.

Feature 3 is in 1.4.2!

delwyn2 years ago

My group used this to run a tournament a couple of weeks ago. Overall opinion - great stuff! We'll definitely be making use of it again.

One issue with the Android client connected to a Windows instance though. The connection worked fine, and tournament management functions worked perfectly, but when a level ended the display on the phone did not update correctly to display the new level with timer countdown. The display was stuck with the old level up top, it's timer at zero, with the new level still shown below in the "preview next level" part of the screen.

It doesn't appear we have the ability to add new cards to the Trello board, so I'll post my new feature requests here:

An option to automatically pause the timer at the end of a level. Programming in breaks works well, but with a social game it'd be nice to have the "end of break alarm" trigger, and then have the clock pause until an admin to restarts the timer once everyone's back at the table.
Being able to choose our own audio alert sounds is great, but it would be nice to be able to add more alerts during a level, at times we choose, rather than just the current limited fixed alerts.

Hi! Thank you for this great feedback! I'll add some Trello cards for this. Certainly your first feature request is one I could use too.

Concerning the Android issue: is it possible that the version on Android was a different version than the one on Windows? They should both be the same, at the time of writing this: 1.3.7. You can see the version in the lower left corner of the tournament selection screen.

delwyn2 years ago

I just fired up HPTM on both devices to check and they're both running 1.3.7. Whilst there, I started the tournament running again and connected to it, then used the timer slider to get the level to the last few seconds, and wouldn't you know it - everything behaved the way it should this time. Even tried locking the phone, and putting the app into the background during a level change, and it was all fine. If it happens again, I'll try to note anything special about the circumstances.

Doing that did remind me of another (very minor) issue - the upper left and right corners of the main tournament screen are being rendered outside of the view port, truncating the start of the title, and the end of the "Time to Break" and its timer when running.

Here's a screenshot from my Surface Pro 6, which is acting as the tournament server:

Yes, I noticed that too, small mistake on my part that I have fixed by now which will be included in the next release (soon to come)

I just released a big update, which fixes this issue too.

delwyn2 years ago

Excellent, thank you! I'm guessing there's a delay for the updated Android app to appear on the Google Play store?

jproehl@gmail.com2 years ago

Yes, unfortunately, it is in review at the moment.

Just downloaded and wanted to thank you for developing this. I love the clean interface.

Thanks!

Hi.

How can I use admin mode?

I hold touch the title of tourney, but doesn't appear anything.

Which screen that I should hold touch the title?

Thanks.

blacksuited2 years ago

Nevermind, I found it.

their devices must use same local network.

I didn't know that.

Thanks for great tools.

Ok great! And thanks :)

Here's probably a stupid question but I cannot figure out how to update to the newest/newer version of this program on my computer. I'm sure it's located on the back end right and I just need some guidance? Or should I just delete and re download the newest version? Help! Thanks.

Hi, the installer should install the new version in exact the same place as the previous time, where did you install it?

And what version is the old one?

BarryD95452 years ago

Still love your amazing app!!

I'm running 1.3.6 on android, but I'm not seeing the import/export buttons. Is it still pending for us mobile poker geeks?

Also, the percentage feature doesn't seem to be working. It always seems to keep 100% in the payout, even though I'm only paying out 90%. (I kind of oversimplified my reasons, but the result is there.)

Also, would live to use exact numbers and text instead of percentages as our charity prizes are gifts rather than cash (gift card, prize basket, hotel weekend, flat screen TV etc.).

Thanks again for your awesomeness!!!

Hi!

Indeed on Android the export/import is not implemented yet; it requires additional permissions for the app + it's unclear to me how a person would copy an export to another smartphone at this moment, how would you do that? Via google drive or something?

Concerning the percentage: do you mean that you want to pay out only 90%? I never considered that use case, indeed, the Prizes try to total up to 100%. But your request is valid, I'll look into that, should not be too much work.

The text in the prizes is on my todo-list.

Thanks for your input, that's really valuable and appreciated!

BarryD95452 years ago

Hello!!

Transferring the file could be by Google drive, NFC, Bluetooth, or even email, though through email revolts a few Greeks (like myself!)

Google Drive would be my method as I can then share the file from one place to multiple devices, if necessary. I'm sharing your app, so structure sharing is a natural extension! :)

There are two reasons for paying less than 100%.

The first is when the buy-in has a portion of the donation (house fee). For example, @$125 buy-in could have $25 to the "house" and $100 to the prize pool. Thus, only 80% would be in the prize pool.

Ideally that percentage or value could be input in the event set-up so that the prize pool only reflects the prizes, and not what people paid in. It's how actual card rooms display prize pools. $100+$25 (prize pool plus house fee) as it were. Keeps a cleaner appearance that way.

The text option will be great, an ideal view for the players.

Also, and I'd be willing to donate the time creating the .wav files for it, would it be possible to have the level change be fully announced? (i.e. "Attention dealers and players, if you have not started the shuffle, blinds for the next hand are 100, 200 with a 25 ante." and "Dealers and players, we are now on a 15 minute break.") I'm not a coder, so there may be an easier way than piecing together voice clips.

When your adding text, comments would be great, too. Best example is "Coloring Up Green 25 chips", during breaks, and the like.

Finally (really), it would be great if it was possible to set all the level times, or a range of times, at once. Rarely do levels change times until much later in a longer tournament. Settings for All, All Below 'X', and clicking in anv individual level would be great.

Hope I haven't rambled too much, but I always get a bit excited when I talk about your application.

Thanks again!

Barry

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

I'll look into the export indeed. As for the payout one more question: if a separate house fee could be added, would you then always do a 100% payout of the prize pool? Because if you do a 80% overall payout (without house fee), there's also a 20% cut from the rebuys and the addons, I'm not sure if that is desired. Or in other words: do the rebuys and the addons also have a house fee?

Piecing together these audioclips is not something I'm going to implement, there's too many ways these levels could be announced plus I'd have to do it in 4 languages (maybe more in the future). What I could do however is use Google's Text-To-Speech for this. A user could type the announcements he wants after every level and the TTS does the rest. Nonetheless, this is not a small feature so it will take a while before I would have the time to start on this :)

Comments during the break, check (this could simply be displayed as text, no real need for audio). This will take careful consideration qua layout though.

Easier multi editing in level settings, check. Text in the prize structure, check.

I put all these suggestions on my Trello board, thanks!

BarryD95452 years ago (1 edit)

Sorry I haven't responded sooner, but I really do appreciate all the effort you've put in since I last did.

The text to speech is nothing less than incredible!

As far being able to edit the blind structure en masse, if I could "column edit" the time of the blind level (similar to a spreadsheet), that would be awesome.

Even better if I could column edit from a certain point. Such as, I might need to have the first 10 levels be 15 minutes, the next 10 levels be 20 minutes, and the next 10 levels be 30 minutes.

Also, can we import/export in Android yet?

Last of all, and I know you've disliked the idea on the past, could you make it so we can edit the time and blind structure while running?

As always, the app is terrific and I really appreciate all the work you're putting in. I've updated my Google Play review to reflect my increased level of admiration.

Do you have something set up for donations?

Hi and thanks again! I ran a tournament yesterday and I must say I like the TTS feature myself too :) People really respond well to that. I'll be working on that some more since I received some good suggestions.

I guess with column edit you mean you can drag the cell value down as in Excel, right? That would indeed be neat. The spreadsheet feature is a 3rd party tool I use, but I'll see if I can add that.

Import/Export android is not in yet, I moved it up my priority list. I've added a "Edit schedule while running" task, but it's one that is going to take lots of testing.

Thanks for the rating, that's actually the best way to help me! If you want to donate that's possible via itch.io, just download the game here and enter a donation amount.

Thanks again for your feedback, that's really valuable for me and well appreciated!

Guys! Thank you so much for this! You did what I wanted to do like 10 years ago. I still use a 20 year old computer whose fan sounds like a dying mouse to play that old software program, because it's the best tournament software around, with the "add money" and save different tournament features. Even better than current casino software in my opinion!

I just donated, but I'd love to speak with you about some little improvements that could be made to it and share the great stories I have with running the program for literally the last 20 years. Now, I can finally use my computer from this century to play it.

Couple suggestions:

The old software did a "ding" for 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, before the blinds changed. That's not customizable here. Can it be?
Can you customize the sound that plays when next levels switches?
I just downloaded it now, so I'm sure I'll find more!

Thank you so much!
