How to Use the Absolute Solution
The Absolute Solution requires AutoHotkey be installed.
Retirement – 11/30/2009
The recent update to Absolute changed the lobby in a way that prevents Absolute Solution from getting the list of tables. It seems that Absolute has finally come out with an update that really does break Absolute Solution, instead of just forcing me to make another simple edit. Mining still works and can be used as such, but opening tables is done for.
I will treat this as a sign that it is time to shelve Absolute Solution and move on to other things. Three years is a good run and I am glad so many people found it useful. As always, the code is open source and anyone is free build from it.
Does Absolute Solution work with other Absolute Skins?
Absolute Solution is designed only to work with Absolute Poker. You do not need to be logged in, or have an account at Absolute Poker, for Absolute Solution to work with Absolute Poker. I’ve been told that Absolute Skins will check if other skins are running on your computer. So you will not be able to play one skin and mine Absolute Poker at the same time.
I don’t presently have any plans to add support for other Absolute skins. If someone wants to take on the task of making the alterations, the source code is there and I will answer some questions.
Sit & Go Support:
As of V.65 Sit & Go’s are no longer supported. Since there was few, if any comments, when they stopped working, I decided my time would be better spent on other projects. If anyone wants to take on the task, the sections of code for Sit & Go’s are still there, but commented out.
