↓ManualMode
Description
ManualMode is a tool for simulating a poker game state offine. It allows you to set any game state you can think of, including your cards, buttons, etc.
A Table Map is included with the ManualMode tool to allow OpenHoldem to connect to the ManualMode main window and scrape the game state 100% correctly into the OpenHoldem engine. This will allow for offline construction of bot logic and the easy setup of various game state situations, some of which are very rare online (think Straight Flushes).
Familiarizing yourself with ManualMode
The ManualMode interface is quite intuitive. All relevant elements on the poker table are visible at all times, either populated with objects (like cards or bets), or outlined in white dashed lines if not populated. Each game state element is interacted with slightly differently and is discussed below. In general, however, right-clicking on any element will bring up a list

- Blinds/Limits: Right-clicking on the center information box will pop up a window in which the small blind, big blind, big bet, ante, game type (FL, PL, NL), network (useful if integrating with {PokerTracker}), and tournament indicator can be set. Buttons: Left-clicking on any game-state button on the table will toggle its state from on to off. These include the FCKRA buttons on the bottom right (fold, call, check, table, prefold, autopost).
There are some shortcuts built into ManualMode to allow easier setup of from the table. As players are added, they will Sit Down, Sit In, and will be assigned a name and balance. Players will be added from chair 0 to chair 9, depending on what is open, and removed in reverse order. for a string to be entered. The format of the macro string is described here at the bottom of this page. Betting: Left-clicking (right click to set a specific bet amount).
Note: When ManualMode detects a betting round change (i.e. 0 to 3, 3 to 4 or 4 to 5 common cards), then all player bets will be collected into the pot, and all player bets will be reset to zero.
