OpenHoldem Preferences – Logging

• Basic Info:This setting will cause OpenHoldem to log very basic information on every decision, giving you some hints what happened at the table and what OpenHoldem did. This information is given in a simple, beginner-friendly format, so that everybody can be able to understand what’s going on. But for more detailed information you should enable the next option.

  ***** Autoplayer Trace **************************************
  

• Autoplayer Traces: This option tells OpenHoldem to log the evaluation of formulas that lead to autoplayer actions, i.e the functions f$alli, f$betsize, f$call for OH-script, the functions f$preflop, f$flop, f$turn and f$river for OpenPPL and also the evaluation of secondary functions like f$sitout and f$close. This information is very detailed and its interpretation will be discussed in the chapter about Logging.
• Errors and Warnings: This setting will write all errors and warnings to the log, which might be something like incomplete tablemaps,. syntax errors in your formula, run-time errors like division by zero or autoplayer errors like a missing input-box for the betsize. We consider this information so important that it will be always written to the log-file. No chance to turn it off.
• DLL Messages: Usually the autoplayer-trace will come to an end if a DLL-symbol gets evaluated as the DLL is a black-box for the OH-script-engine. However with this option enabled logging will continue even after DLL-symbols if the DLL calls back to OH-script to query the value of some OpenHoldem symbol or a user-defined function.
• Maximum symbols to log: This value defines how many special log-symbols shall be displayed in the white box in the GUI This affects user-defined log-messages that get printed when they get reached on evaluation:

  log$WOOHOO_preflop_works
  

• Erase old logs larger than (MB): This option does specify a maximum size of existing log-files (in mega-bytes). OpenHoldem does usually append new log messages to existing files. Unfortunatelly these log-files can grow really large, especially if you did enable detailed logging. With this option old files which are too large will be automatically deleted, if OpenHoldem opens them on startup.
