Main Menu

File

figure images/menu_file.png
The File menu is pretty self-explaining. It contains some standard Windows menu items to create a new document and to open and save the current formula set. Below the sub-menu shows a list of last recently used formulas which you can select to open. The last menu item finally will quit OpenHoldem

Edit

The edit-menu contains the following items:
  • Formula: this opens the formula-editor which will be explained in a separate chapter
  • Preferences: this opens a dialog with option settings. Again it is so manifold that it deserves an extra chapter
  • Tag Log-File: This will create an entry in the log that makes it easy to find and review critical situations.
    [*** ATTENTION ***] User tagged this situation for review
    If the autoplayer already acted this log-message will appear slightly after the interesting decision.
  • View Log-File: this will open the log-file of this OpenHoldem instance. A convenient feature if you have multiple logs in your directory.
  • View Scraper Output: this menu item opens a dialog where you can inspect the result of all scraped regions

  • Shoot Replay-Frame: this final menu-item will shoot a replay-frame, be it for the creation of a tablemap or for reviewing the decisions of your botlogic. Again replay-frames and the OHreplay application are explained in an extra chapter.

Problem Solver

The Problem-Solver is a tool meant to help newbies to get OpenHoldem running. It will execute certain checks and will output diagnostic messages and helpful hints. As newbies regularly need help and don’t know where to get help this feature got a prominent place in the main menu without being hidden in a sub-menu.

Help

figure images/menu_help.png
Finally the Help menu contains five menu items:
  • Help: this option will display OpenHoldems main manual, i.e. this document.
  • OpenPPL Manual: opens the OpenPPL manual, which historically became and still is a separate document. Most people writing bot-logic probably don’t need to see the full complexity of OpenHoldem.
  • Forums: this will open your favourite web-browser and lead you to the OpenHoldem forums at www.maxinmontreal.com/forums/index.php
  • Problem Solver: this menu item will start the Problem Solver already discussed above
  • About this Program:
