Welcome to MiM, the OH User Community
Welcome! We are delighted that you have joined us in this exciting open-source project dedicated to the development of poker bots. Before you begin, there are a few important things you need to know to make the most of your experience here.
1. Read the OpenHoldem and OpenPPL Manuals
The OpenHoldem Manual is the fundamental basis for understanding how our software works. It contains all the necessary information about creating TableMaps (TMs) and the OHScript scripting language. Similarly, the OpenPPL Manual is a comprehensive guide to this language. We highly recommend that you read and reread them to fully assimilate their content.
2. Documentation and Resources
- OpenHoldem Download Link: https://github.com/Lab0ne/openholdembot/releases
- OpenHoldem and OpenPPL Manuals: Once you have downloaded the software and decompressed it into a folder, you will find the manuals in the path Open Holdem\documents\HelpFiles.
- OpenHoldem Wiki: https://github.com/Lab0ne/openholdembot/wiki
- Support Forums: Here on MiM, you will find help and support from other experienced community members. Take the time to familiarize yourself with the various sections of the forum. However, remember that it is important to review the forum and available documentation before asking questions.
When participating in the forum, follow these guidelines to keep the community organized and useful for everyone:
- Search: Before asking a question, use the forum's search function. It is likely that your question has already been answered.
- Detailed Question: If you decide to ask a question, provide all necessary details. This includes what you are trying to achieve, the steps you have followed, and the specific problems you have encountered. In most cases, you will also need the TM, RFs (Replay Frames), log file, or some section of your profile's logic to get assistance.
- Do Not Request "Out of the Box" (OOTB) Solutions: Our forum is not intended to provide ready-to-use TableMaps or profiles. The essence of OpenHoldem is for you to learn how to create your own resources.
- Respect and Collaboration: Always maintain a respectful and collaborative tone. Remember that we are all here to learn and help each other.
Developing poker bots and creating TableMaps requires time and dedication. Do not get discouraged if you encounter difficulties at first; it is part of the learning process. Here are some tips:
- Practice: Consistent practice will help you become familiar with the tools and scripting language.
- Collaborate: Do not hesitate to collaborate and share your progress with other community members. Feedback is invaluable.
- Be Patient and Persistent: Mastering OpenHoldem takes time. Be patient with yourself and persist in your efforts.
If you find errors or have suggestions for improving OpenHoldem, we encourage you to report them. Your contribution is valuable for the continuous growth and improvement of the project. Head over to the Bugs and Problems or OH Suggestions section as appropriate, and remember to read the specific rules of each section before making your post.
