PTS Beta Patch - PokerStars USD/Ongame R5/WPEX Razz

[ptrack mike]

Here is the latest PTS beta patch:
http://www.s250420914.onlinehome.us/PT/ ... 10507g.exe

Fixes and enhancements in this patch:
-PokerStars added "USD" in the game level of each hand history which causes incorrect game level descriptions to be added to PTS
If you have any game levels that have "USD" in the description then you will need to merge these into the correct level or else you will start having problems. To do this use the menu and select Utilities > Database Maintenance and Options. Go to the Misc. tab and use the Change Game Level... button. After you convert a game level to the correct level you should delete the level if it is still listed on that tab.
Another option correct your data: use the Utilities > Database Maintenance and Options window to purge these sessions with the wrong game levels and then reimport your hand histories with this latest patch.
-Ongame added support for their new R5 hand histories. See the next post for instructions on how to import hands.
-WPEX added Razz game support.
-Ongame fixed problems with negative and large rakes. You will need to purge and re-import your hands to fix the data.
-Ongame - format change, they added a rake taken line that was not allowing hands to be imported.
-Cereus - format change, they added a letter in front of their game number in their hand histories.

====================================================
To get PTS to work with the new Ongame R5 software
====================================================
1. Open the File > Auto-Import Hand Histories...Choose Your Site > PokerRoom (Ongame skins) option.
2. Click on the "I'm using OnGame's new R5 software... link and it will open another window.
3. On the next window, click the Hand History Folder Location button.

On this next window, you need to point PTS to the folder where the site is storing your hand history files. If you are playing at multiple Ongame sites using the P5 software, add the appropriate pointers to each folder.

Depending on your operating system, the folders should be...

XP
==
C:/Documents and Settings/[User]/Local Settings/Application Data/R5/[SkinName]/handhistory

VISTA
=====
C:/Users/[UserName]/AppData/Local/R5/[Skin Name]/handhistory

IF YOU CANNOT SEE THESE FOLDERS WHEN BROWSING TO FIND THEM then you need to make them visible. To do this:

XP
==
From your desktop double-click on the "My Computer" icon. On the window that opens, under the Tools menu select "Folder Options". Click on the "View" tab and then check the box that says "Show hidden files and folders" and then click on the "Apply" button. Now you should be able to see this folder when you click the Hand History Folder Location button.

VISTA
=====
right-click on the Start menu and select Explore.
Click on Organize > Folder and Search Options
On the next window, click on the View tab and then check the box that says "Show hidden files and folders" and then click on the "Apply" button.

4. Once you have the folders configured, make sure that you use the "Move processed files to the following folder..." option. This will keep the imports running faster if it doesn't have to keep processing files that have been already been imported. Click the "Move processed files..." box and in the next field, enter/select a folder to be used to store these files (something like c:\ongamep5_processed would work fine).

5. Click the Start timer button to start the importing process. Note that it may take a while to import the files initially if they have been building up over the past weeks or so since the new R5 software was released. So give it some time for this first import to run.

======================================
HERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WON'T WORK
======================================
1. Tournaments and play money are not supported. They weren't supported with the old Ongame software and they won't be now either.
2. The help file link doesn't work yet either.

======================================
IF YOU GET ANY ERRORS WITH ANY HANDS
======================================
I tested the imports with only about 100 hands and caught a lot of specific situations that usually cause issues (split pots, side pots, etc.) but if you get any import errors, use the online support system for PT Stud to send me the exact error message along with the .log file that contains the hand that caused the error.

What is the difference between patchpts10507d and patchpts10507c?

[ptrack mike]

I honestly don't recall, but it's probably this:

-Ongame fixed problems with negative and large rakes. You will need to purge and re-import your hands to fix the data.
