Installing the software

OpenHoldem and its supporting applications do not come with an installer. This is by design – installers tend to leave traces on your system, and in this hobby, the less traces, the better. Stealth will be discussed in greater depth in a later section, but this installer-less install is an important part of the stealth strategy.

Since you do not have an installer to do the work for you, there are several steps you need to take to correctly configure the software on your machine:

1. Create your “OpenHoldem” base directory. For purposes of this walkthrough, we will create this directory as “c:\mpb” (“ M y P oker B ot” – clever, eh?). You can make this directory anything you want, however.

2. Under c:\mpb, create another directory “c:\mpb\scraper”; this directory is used by the “Green Circle Button” to automagically connect OpenHoldem to a poker table. More on this later. There is a non-automagic way to connect to tables, but at this point, you probably want this directory.

3. Download the compiled binary packages. They can be found at the links in the {References} section.

4. Extract all the files from the compiled binary packages into the c:\mpb directory. When done, your directory should look something like this, depending or course, on which programs you chose to extract.

Figure 3.3‑1 OpenHoldem directory

In this directory are the following files:

- ManualMode.exe, OHReplay.exe, OpenHoldem.exe, OpenScrape.exe – these are the main files for each of the programs in the OpenHoldem project. Details on how to use each of these are throughout this manual.

- dbghelp.dll – this is a Microsoft file that is used to produce memory dumps on critical errors. These memory dumps are useful for the developers to diagnose issues.

- keyboard.dll, mouse.dll, perl_callback.dll, scraper.dll, user.dll – these files are all extensions to OpenHoldem that you can use to customize the software. More detail on all of these are provided in this document.

- versus.bin – this file is the large lookup table that is used by the versus symbols that are described in this document. If you want to use versus symbols, you need this file.

- Files with.pdb extensions – these files contain the debug symbols that are required if you want to diagnose crashes or simply trace execution in a debugger. If you need these, you know how to use these. If you don’t know what these are, you can safely ignore or delete them.

- Files with.txt extensions – these are the release notes for each of the programs in the project. Feel free to peruse these if you have problems falling asleep some night.
