My computer's a bit old and wasn't top end when new. So loading up all my poker software can take some time, especially if I'm browsing FTR and checking email while waiting. I've tried various database management things to speed up HEM, but it just loads slow (though in-game performance is fine imo).
My idea was to make a script that optimizes the amount of time between sitting down and playing a hand of poker.
If we open FTP first, then HEM and scripts last, we can be scanning the lobby for tables while HEM is initializing. The script will manage all the HEM stuff in the background, and by the time we get to post a blind, we'll have HUD and betting scripts operational.
I've pretty much got all the pieces working now, so I'll put them together (including the option to manually input username and password to keep from storing them online) and post them sometime tonight. Then I'll be able to click once, head to the fridge for a can of Coke, and by the time I sit back down I'll be ready to play.
I think some of my computer speed problem is parallel activities - trying to load both FTP and HEM simultaneously seems to take longer than loading one, then loading the other. But I just can't resist mashing the "load NOW" button on the next POS (piece of software :P). The AHK script waits just long enough for one process to end, then cranks the new one. Preliminary tests show a speed improvement. I believe I also have it working so that clicking in the lobby on FTP won't affect the HEM portions of the script.
I'm now working on the auto-sit-out, auto-sit-in type scripts that perform a function on all the tables at once. When I've got those (hopefully by the end of the weekend), I'll be pretty happy with life.
Glad people are finding this interesting.
@para - lulz :P
