Profile-Copying/Bot-Loading Batch File

[johngr]

I have written an old-school DOS errorlevel menu batch file to copy your choice of profiles to the default profile name that appears when you click Holdem > Read Profile. Rather than the tedious editing of "holdem_profile.txt" that you will attempt and fail at many times when already you have five bots running, you can just go with it, and... "okay then, load that one"... one click.

Steps:
1. copy the text below into a text editor and edit the appropriate bits which I have highlighted in red
2. make sure you get the file names right (and folder/directory if you have them in other than the default folder name)
3. save with the extension .bat (file type: "all files" or "batch file")
4. put the batch file in the same folder as the bot and send a shortcut to the desktop.
5. before executing the batch file, make sure you have backed up whatever profile you have with name, holdem_profile.txt

The batch file will load the bot if it's not already, otherwise, the already-loaded bot will ignore the further execution of itself, needing "new window" for another iteration.

The command line window will verify whether your profile was copied. You can remark out the PAUSE command if you want the window to close after the batch job is done.

Note: you need to have the bot or batch file set to automatically run as admin for the bot to run right with this batch file. If  neither is set up like that, you can still use the batch file to copy profiles but you'll have to run the bot first as you usually do.

No problem. I'm going to see if I can incorporate a menu for switching back and forth between cash and tournament holdem.ppl files. Right now, I have two versions of the above with the additional dos commands,

copy c:\poker\data\holdem_tournament.ppl c:\poker\data\holdem.ppl
for the mtt version and

copy c:\poker\data\holdem_cash.ppl c:\poker\data\holdem.ppl
for the cash version.

If you want to incorporate that, just copy the cash ppl version to holdem_cash.ppl and get the mtt ppl version from www.bonusbots.com/mttppl.zip and rename it to holdem_tournament.ppl. Then, you add the commands above to the batch code in two different versions, right below :STARTBOT. Be sure to check when you run the bot that the correct default ppl version loaded.
