MiniMaxMod F.A.Q.



New to minimaxmod? Watch the introduction video.

The window size isn't changing?

You didn't forget to use the console? Open the settings of your ipoker client. Is "show mini-table" enabled?

The "fold to any" checkbox is misplaced.

Open the settings of your ipoker client. Is "show chat" enabled?

I get following "ERROR:Unable to open ./M3_DATA/smallview.gam"

Vista users need to give the program write/modify rights. You can do this by selecting "run program as admin" in Vista. Make sure that your Vista user account has admin privileges or privileges that allow execution of programs with admin write/modify rights. Modify the rights for the exe by going to the installation folder and not just the exe on the desktop. The console will also need admin rights!

I disabled UAC or I'm running minimaxmod with admin rights yet I still get "ERROR:Unable to open ./M3_DATA/smallview.gam" or "ERROR:Unable to open... ..../fileinfo2.dat"

Did you install MiniMaxMod on a different drive letter than the drive letter that Windows is installed on? If yes try installing MiniMaxMod on the same drive.

I have a registered version yet I still get "casino component smallview is missing..." errors.

Did you try this?

  • Chili,Bigslick and TonyG: uncheck "replace chat" in gfx options.
  • Boyle Poker, Leon Poker: Uncheck "replace seats" in graphic options. Client won't let me mod the seats permanently.
  • Uncover: Select "_dontmod" for yourturn sound.
  • Dirty Stack:Change "dontModBubbles=0" to value "1" in settings.ini

How do I reset the pokerclient images and layout?

There's no "reset to default" option with minimaxmod. Easiest way to reset the installation without actually reinstalling the client is to delete the files fileinfo2.dat and fileinfo2r.dat from the poker client directory and to restart the client.

I get the following messages in the log

Preparing layout...
Offset...
Installing layout...
Installing sounds.
ERROR:Unable to open

One of the sounds isn't selected properly. Open the "sound modding" tab and select every sound.

Does _dave's_ betpot work with minimaxmod?

Yes. You will need to adjust the miniview_tabstops parameter though. Test it on real money tables. I aslo suggest this betpot which is compatible with minimaxmod: http://www.betpot.info/ipoker.html

Does eyepoker datamining work with minimaxmod

No. Table selection with eyepoker does work though. Why not try a hand history service like hhdealer.com?

The installer won't run. Black window pops up, but nothing happens. I get "Program ran out of memory".

This is a webhost issue. While the file is a .msi some machines save it as an .exe. Rename the file.

I get two tables on top of each other?!

Uncheck "overlay table" in the "graphics options" tab.

Can I use MiniMaxMod on my laptop (or a second desktop) too when buying a license?

Yes. One license allows you to register minimaxmod on 2 computers you own and that are used by you.
