Okay, I like this plugin from what I've seen and it was one of the reasons I wanted to help build a casino on my server. However, 2 problems are coming up with this. 1) I create a table and simply use /table open. The other ops (the reason I say ops is because of #2) join and when I use the /table start command, it boots all of us from the game and stops the table without even beginning the game. I have no idea why this happens and I will try to get an error log tomorrow when I can recreate it. 2) Is this compatible with PermissionsEX? I gave the permission node for everyone to be able to use the table, but it says that they do not have permission still. The permission I used was upoker.play

I want to get a super stable, bug-free version out before I work on hand evaluation, so here is a new version that fixed a few annoying bugs!

IMPORTANT:

If you are running a UNIX based server, you probably noticed a very weird file called 'UltimatePoker\UltimatePoker.db' being created in your 'plugins/' directory. That bug should be fixed now, but if you want to keep your statistics database then you need to move that file into 'plugins/UltimatePoker/' and rename it to 'UltimatePoker.db'.

ALSO IMPORTANT:

The Total Winnings and Amount won at Showdown statistics were being calculated incorrectly. It is fixed now, but I recommend you delete your database file and let the plugin create a new one if you want your statistics to be fully correct. I have said before that statistics were experimental and in a very early development stage and knew that some things had to be changed. You don't have to reset the database, but it does mean that your statistics won't be fully correct.

Version 1.1.1

Compiled for the new CraftBukkit RB 1.2.5-R4.0
Fixed the message 'Table owner: use /table cont to continue' being shown twice after each hand
Fixed leaving a table folding your hand even if youre not in the hand/the table is not in progress
Fixed the leaving message not being displayed around the whole table, but only to the player that left
Fixed total winnings being raised by the whole pot that you win during the hand, instead of pot - total bet
Fixed a NullPointerException occuring on /poker details
Fixed the database file being created with a weird filename in a weird directory on UNIX systems
Fixed not being able to kick a person from the table at the end of a hand
Fixed the "Raise X at most or call" message calculating number X while taking into account folded players
Fixed 'Percentage of wins' statistic being calculated incorrectly
Fixed the pot being paid when a player leaves and the table is not in progress
Fixed a bug in which the game would never go into the next phase, instead just keep giving the action to the player the just typed a command, resulting in a loop until the table is deleted
Added a parameter for /stats top [stat] (amountToDisplay) - displays an amount of players on leaderboard instead of the default 10 (limit is 100)
Added some fixes which reset the total bet of a player at certain points to avoid exploits
Added the player's ID being shown next to their name when they fold
Made leaderboards show only the rows where actual players exist

Generating what? The list of possible hands? You can just iterate through with loops...I can write an example of that too if I get time tomorrow.

Hmm... I see. But how would I actually go about generating all of this?

What I had in mind would be, pretend each players hand is 7 cards, and check the value of each permutation of the 7 cards, once sorted. So generate a list of 7 cards per player (their hand + turn/flop/river, and then evaluate the value of cards like this:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1, 2, 3, 4, 6
1, 2, 3, 4, 7
1, 2, 3, 5, 6
1, 2, 3, 5, 7
1, 2, 4, 5, 6
1, 2, 4, 5, 7
1, 2, 4, 6, 7
1, 2, 5, 6, 7
1, 3, 4, 5, 6
1, 3, 4, 5, 7
...
etc.

You get the idea. During each calculation just check if the new poker hand is better than the players previous one you checked. In the end you'll find the best one for that player. Do this for all players in the table, and then check which player had the highest valued hand. This player is the winner.

Thanks for all the coding tips, I'll keep those in mind. Regarding the evaluator, I have a few questions.

I wanted to make it so that I can pass in the hand of each player (2 cards per player), and then pass in the community cards (5 cards) and see which player is the winner. I'm not sure how I would be able to do this with what you provided, but it's a start nevertheless. The changes to the Card class I can implement very easily, but I won't do it just yet.

Well looking at the source, it needs a lot of work. First, card values are stored as strings, which is a waste of memory. Store them as bytes, (0-13, map it however you like, 0=>ace, 1=>2...13=>king, or w/e)

This also makes life a lot easier when dealing with evaluation, and tbh should make life easier in general while coding any applications involving cards.

I whipped up a quick example of how this could be implemented, no guarantees it's perfect, but it works for a bunch of test cases I threw at it. It can even do as much as detect who won even if all the cards are the exact same except for one, and also returns exactly what kind of poker hand the hand gives. The function I provided only takes in a 5card hand as a parameter, so for Texas Hold'em you'd need to generate all the possible 5card hands and test them all, picking the highest valued one to represent that player.

I didn't submit this as a pull request since I changed your Card function greatly and it would likely impact the rest of the code. Heres a repo where you can see it instead: https://github.com/Mashlol/Poker-Hand-Evaluator

To implement it in your own code you'd have to either change your Card class to be more like mine (better overall for your code anyways) or add a function to convert the strings into integers (pretty dumb to store things as strings when you can do all the math with them as integers, just need strings to actually display them to users)

As a side note, you have wayyy too many public variables, there is really no need for them hardly at all. You pretty much made everything public. Use privates for java to know what actually needs to be accessed and what doesn't, it will help you clean up unused code and make your software run better. Also, I find you passing the main plugin class into a bunch of your subclasses, but never actually using any of the main plugin functions or variables. No need to pass variables that you don't use.

If you do really know how to integrate hand evaluation I would be more than happy for you to try.

Hand evaluation is actually really simple, I created a simple hand evaluator for a Grade 12 project. I can walk you through how it might be done, can even detect who wins in pairs, (i.e. higher cards, or higher suits even) or other tie "hands". It's simple and lightweight.

If you put the source on github I'd be glad to take a look and maybe do a pull request. Otherwise just PM me here and I can see if I can grab up my old source from the grade 12 project if I have it and send it (its another language, but the algorithm is whats important)

New version out!

Version 1.1

Compiled for the new Bukkit Build 1.2.5-R3.0
Added statistics
New commands
/poker stats - Displays all your poker stats, if you have any
/poker stats check [player] - Displays the player's poker stats, if they have any
/poker stats top [type] - Displays the top 10 players in the specified statistic
/poker stats rank [type] - Displays your own rank in the specified statistic on the leaderboards
/poker stats rank [type] [player] - Displays the specified player's rank in the specified statistic on the leaderboards
Stats get saved at the end of every hand
Stats use a SQLite database stored in the UltimatePoker.db file inside the plugin's folder
Stats include a variety of poker specific statistics - total winnings, profit, VPIP, PFR, percentage of wins and MUCH more
When a player wins his/her biggest ever pot, a message is displayed
When a player loses his/her ever amount, a message is displayed
Stats are still in a development status! They may be wiped, changed, or not functioning properly at this stage
Added a sound being played whenever it is your turn to act
Added the cumulative pot amount being shown after each street
Added player stacks, current players fold status' and chip leader indications to /poker players
Added an average stack size of all players at the table being shown on /poker details, /poker players and /hand money
Added /hand withdraw [amount] command which withdraws the specified amount of money from the player's stack
Added a table setting "displayTurnsPublicly" which makes the "It is your turn" messages be displayed publicly (with the player's name) (defaulted to false)
Made ops get the upoker.* node by default
Made all card suits be colored differently
Made blinds and antes being raised at the end of hands instead of their beginnings
Made players be eliminated if they cannot pay the biggest blind (not necessarily the big blind)
Made creating a table display the balance you bought in for
Made eliminating no longer take you off the table but simply make you unable to do anything until you rebuy
Changed the 'allowRake' config option to 'fixRake' -> set to -1 if you want players to set their own rake, set to 0-1 to fix the rake to that amount
Fixed the invite message showing an incorrect table ID
Fixed not being able to raise under certain circumstances
Fixed calling or betting all your money not putting the player all-in when it is needed
Fixed a NullPointerException when players were being eliminated
Fixed players not being eliminated properly
Fixed the plugin dealing a new hand right away without waiting for /table cont in some circumstances
Fixed the pot eligible player list (displayed during /hand pot) showing incorrect players
Fixed /hand board and /hand bet having the same alias 'b'. Added /hand community alias instead
Fixed new tables being assigned to IDs of tables that already exist
Fixed betting all your money not putting you all-in
Fixed players not folding once they leave the table
Fixed players not folding once they get kicked from the table
Fixed no message being showed when a player leaves the table
Fixed tables being able to be deleted when pots exist
Fixed the game not going to showdown when there is an all-in involved and only 1 player is left
Fixed not being able to muck your hand at showdown when all-in
Fixed the owner being eliminated messing up the whole game
Fixed the very broken side pot calculation, you can now sit back and have as many people go all in as you want without any errors in the calculations (hopefully...)

As a result of all above changes, more bugs were fixed that are not listed here (or created...)
IMPORTANT: Because of some config changes, you need to delete the config file of the plugin and let it create a new one. Make sure to backup your settings beforehand

I will now also add a few pages to this project which will contain much more information.

That poker engine looks very interesting. Before I even began this plugin I looked around for a hand evaluator, but all of them seemed very difficult and huge. This seems pretty lightweight, I will look into it, and who knows, maybe sometime in the feature we can have a fully automatic hand evaluation system ;)

Regarding the bugs and glitches, I am aware that the current release contains quite a bit of bugs. Rest assured that the next version fixes them all (or most). It also contains some features, for example, playing a sound when it's a person's turn, or displaying all stacks/who's turn it is in /poker players, etc. You will see soon :) As soon as I actually fix side pots correctly, that are causing me such a headache right now...

Na apologies I failed at actually testing the stuff I state.. Also I'm guessing you already did see http://code.google.com/p/pokerengine/ right :)?

The thing that taunts us the most is the occasional glitches and human errors, like not knowing who's turn it is etc.

I'm not sure what you mean by this? Do you want every message to be within the 30 block radius?

For whats it worth though, could you make all announces beside the creation of a table within that 30 block radius? For a server with 50 people on it might be a bit annoying.

Get a permission system such as bPermissions, PEX, or any other one of your choice. Plenty of tutorials out there too :) Then you just set the nodes you want, like upoker.* for all commands.
