Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

Looks like Party Poker is really starting to cater to multi table players. I tested it out and it seems to work pretty well. Looks like I don't really need these two 2001FPs to 8 table now. The minimum size for tables is now 512x387. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]


Dear AtlBrvs4Life,

As one of PartyPoker.com's most valued VIP players, you are one of only 300 people invited to test a new feature on our software before it is officially released. This is one of many developments planned for the future.

We have designed this new feature for players who enjoy playing on more that one table at a time. It will enable you to tile, cascade and resize multiple tables.

Please click on the link below to download and try out the beta version of this feature

Once you have thoroughly tested it, please send us your feedback by replying to this email and include screenshots if necessary. This will allow us to make any necessary adjustments before release.

When playing on the smaller tables, did you find the text, images and graphics: Much too small, Too small, just right, could be smaller
Were you able to resize individual tables successfully?
Did you find the tiling and cascading options useful?
Were the tiling and cascading buttons located in a convenient place?
Was your overall impression of the resizing, tiling and cascading options positive or negative?
Did you encounter any technical problems?
How many tables do you generally play?
What resolution do you generally have your monitor set to?
Any other comments

We thank you in advance for helping us to develop this new feature, which will help to maintain PartyPoker.com’s position as the world’s best poker room.
Regards,
PartyPoker.com development team

Wow. Don't forget to post screen shots here.

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

I could actually post a link. The e-mail does not say anything about sharing the link. Does anybody think this could cause me any problems?

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

Let's see it!

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

9 tables on one monitor?

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

Looks like I don't really need these two 2001FPs to 8 table now. The minimum size for tables is now 512x387

...but if you had 2 2001FPs you could 18 table without overlap [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

Time to sell your dell stock, a huge market for their monitors just dried up.

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

Ask them to implement shortcut keys! I know you can do this externally, but they should offer the option! 1,2,3 or f1,f2,f3 = check/call/raise

Ok what the hell. I don't see what they could do other than exclude me from these tests in the future.

Enjoy!

Good luck reading Pokerace numbers on these tiny tables. Very neat feature though!

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

this is da bomb

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

Yea I figure I owe 2+2 more than Party.

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

this is awesome 9-table on one monitor with ease.

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

And here i were, thinking i might finally have a weekend without having to work, dammit.

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

Anyone get this to work with Poker Ace?

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

That's freakin' cool, thanks.

Tell them they should give the option to open at a default size... so that 9 tables fit great on our 1600x1200 monitors. If they don't then MTH guy will probably take care of it for us.

Anyone found a way to get rid of the blackjack and sidebet icons? I thought I deleted the right files but now I am not allowed on any tables but it tells me to reinstall.

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

PokerAce Hud will only work with the default sizes unless you change your layouts, which will be difficult because the images that PA Hud uses in the Layout Manager are set to the default size.

I'll see what I can do to make PA Hud compatible with this new feature.

I had intended to send it to many of you here anyway, so no harm done.

I will ask this...if you have any feedback besides the standard "good or bad" please send it to me at mikeo@partygaming.com.

There are many good things coming up in the near future. Some you guys will love, some you wont care about either way and some you will say "you wasted your time with that?".

I am in the process of acheiving the one goal I have had for over four years...making the client GOOD. And I wont sleep for the next year. Enjoy! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

Will there be betas like this for all the new changes to the Party client? I would like to ensure that PA Hud works properly with all the changes prior to their release to the public. A lot of players won't be happy if they can't have their stats.

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

Yeah the layout looks great and all but I'm not going to 6 table the BBJP tables until I get stats. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I got a PA Hud layout for full table at the smallest setting almost ready to release. Give me about 10 more minutes to perfect it

The only problem is the popup stats won't work.

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

When you re-size a table, the labels stay as the size they were before, making them almost impossible to read. Also d25.gif seems to have weird white corners, and appears wrong on the display.

Guess Party feels we need these things, despite going to lengths to remove them.

Mike, why not have sidebets and blackjack be removable via the options menu? There are lots of players that simply won't play them but hate to accidentally click the icons while multitabling.

I am not aware of anything that was intentionally done that would be causing this message.
If you can email me a little better description of exactly what the problem is, and what you are seeing, I will find out if there is a fix before this client goes out.

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software
 

I just played an hour with the software...It need work for sure! By the way, I think its rigged cuz I flopped Quads twice in an hour, plus I was getting monster starting hands..I think its the way party pays me back for testing the software...lmao...anyways, if someone tells me how to post a pic I will, I have the screenshot saved in PAINT

Re: Invited to Test new PP Beta Software

Can't delete them, but I just opened them up in photoshop and painted over them the same color as my table. Can't get rid of the links, but at least I got rid of the way they look.

I haven't tried it, but I wonder if resizing them very small would work?

Lee Jones is probably on the phone with the PS programming team right now.

2+2ers have deleted the following files from the Images directory to avoid having BJ and sidebet icons while playing:

lobby_bj_button.jpg
sidebetbg.jpg
sidebetclose.bmp
sidebetclosebet.bmp
sidebetopen.bmp
sidebetopenbet.bmp
sidebetupdateprocess.jpg
table_bj_button.jpg

But when removing them with the beta software, you can't enter tables but recieve the message that files are missing and you have to reinstall.

I made them 1x1 pixels in size, but I didn't want to post about it since it would give Partys programmers an idea to check filesize in order to force these useless things on us. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
