You need a more or less recent Java SE Runtime Environment to run the released program versions. Version 8+ should work.
For a quick start you can unzip the release version (without subdirectory, but directly all three files) in a folder where you've already got one or more csv's from pokernow.club.
Execute from the directory with containing 'handhistory-converter-0.2.6-jar-with-dependencies.jar' and the two properties files:
java -jar handhistory-converter-0.2.6-jar-with-dependencies.jar
The csv files from pokernow.club in the directory should then get converted.
Downloading a recent file from pokernow.club and converting it can enable the HUD. You would just set the auto import folder of PockerTracker4 to a directory with the latest converted file. In Hold'em Manager the HUD activation was not possible. It is restrictive about expected programs and the type of hand history files
Use conversion.properties and name-mappings.properties to configure the conversion program. There are two properties configuration files to configure the behavior of the converter program.
In conversion.properties you can only adapt the right side of the properties after the equals '=' sign. In name-mappings.properties you define both sides, a key on the left with several values on the right.
Use the three game types in conversion.properties to specify what game types you want to convert. The following configuration converts only Texas hands and skips present hands of the other Omaha game types:
convertOmahaHiHands = false
convertOmahaHiLoHands = false
convertTexasHands = true
If you want to parse your hole cards, you need to adapt both property files In conversion.properties set
readYourHoleCards = true
yourUniqueName = yourUniqueAlias
In pokernow logs the hole cards shown belong to the player who downloaded the history file. With the file itself later the information to which present player those hole cards belong is missing.
Additionally to support your multiple nicknames you need to adapt also the name-mappings.properties for the hole card conversion to work.
The right side of yourUniqueName in conversion.properties has to match the left side in the corresponding name-mappings.properties file. The example uses 'yourUniqueAlias'.
yourUniqueAlias = pokernowNickname0,pokernowNickname10
The remaining properties in conversion.properties define a currencyReductionFactor and two folders. The currencyReductionFactor reduces all amounts by the value on the right. If you're playing a 1$/2$ game and use ten as currencyReductionFactor the blinds become 0.1$/0.2$ in the converted hands. This allows you to use e.g. the small stakes Hold'em Manager to import the converted hands even if you played with higher blinds at pokernow.club.
You can set the source folder of PokerNow hand histories with folderWithLatestCsv. folderOfConvertedCsv is the directory where the converted files are written. The example below shows a Windows file path notation for C:\Users\username...
currencyReductionFactor = 10
folderWithLatestCsv = \\Users\\username\\PokerNow\\HandHistoryCsvs
folderOfConvertedCsv = \\Users\\username\\PokerNow\\converted
The nicknames on pokernow.club for you and other players can change often.
The pokernow hand history converter provides name-mappings.properties to handle all nicknames. You have to map at least nicknames containing parantheses '(' or ')' to a name on the left preferably without special characters. The following lines show yourUniqueName and two other lines for your buddy names mapping. On the right side are all known and occuring nicknames present in the csv's. They got mapped to the single names on the left.
The converted hand history file contains then the player names yourUniqueName, buddyName1 and buddyName2. Those names will also be imported from PockerTracker or Hold'em Manager and used there
yourUniqueName = pokernowNickname0,pokernowNickname10
buddyName1 = pokernow(parantheses)Nickname1
buddyName2 = pokernowNickname22,pokernowNickname44
