You're using black carpet, aren't you? Unfortunately, you're going to have to switch to anything other than black and you should be ok.

^^ ahh ok thanks

I just whipped up a little side project for fun. Check it out......

MergeSounds (FT) replaces the Merge sounds, which I have read many not so kind reviews about with the old comfy Full Tilt sounds so many of us are used to. It is done automatically in the background as long as it is running while your Merge software is. You shouldn't notice any difference at all.

MergeSounds (FT) requires that you have MergeKeys installed, which you can find here:
www.RunBetterPoker.com

MergeSounds (FT) can be downloaded here:
http://www.runbetterpoker.com/?q=MergeSoundsFT
(Will be adding a link to the homepage soon)

Instructions:

1) You need to have MergeKeys installed and set up to recognize tables before MergeSounds will work, as MergeSounds shares settings with it. You do not need to run MergeKeys for MergeSounds to work after that.

2) MergeSounds should be run as admin.

3) Find the path to the resources directory in you Merge client folder. you will be prompted for this when you startup MergeSounds. Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\RPMPoker\resources

4) MergeSounds (FT) should be left open while your lobby is open. If you close it, your Merge software may re-download the default sound files every time you restart your Merge software.

5) Merge client must be installed in English at this time.

The modded sound files will automatically download from www.RunBetterPoker.com the first time you run MergeSounds (FT).

If you need further assistance or would like to report bugs, feel free to email Support@RunBetterPoker.com.

Fixed.

One thing I have noticed, I have turned everything off basically except for handeling of seating, and auto-time bank. When stacking tables it seems to randomly bring tables to the front and then quickly pushes them back.. makes it really difficult to multi-table stacked. When I tile tables, everything seems to run great.

I'd like to be able to 18 table stacked with auto time bank I think this would be doable on merge. without it I'm not sure how anyone is playing more then 10 tables.. without timing out. Trying to tile that many even on my 30" and the font is just blindingly small(i already wear glasses). Putting them on my 2nd monitor i forget to look over and the next thing I know I'm sitting out on every table over there.

#2 at random on RPM(not sure about other merge skins) it will click and open the VIP Chat box that is on the RPM tables where the advertisements go in place of the bet/fold buttons. Which then opens a browser window for the VIP Support Chat.

Turn off "Show news in game" on the first tab of settings (in RPM lobby). Let me know if this fixes your problem.

Is there a hotkey that you can press to bring a table that needs action to the front? If not there should be one immediatly,so frustrating having to go through tables to find what table needs action if your stacking.

^^ something like that would e nice

also maybe something to auto handle all pop ups or at least the sng popup that tells you a tourney has started or ended cause those have to be manually closed

Working on the popups.

hey can i ask..... wtf does merge mods do? im totally confused by it. im assuming its to get custom themes and stuff.

can we change the cards that come out to make it easier to multi table like the mod packs from tilt buster?

i would really really appreciate some sort of help with this im no computer wiz like but would like to learn and fiddle with themes and what not. its actaully really annoying me.

As of right now, I've managed to change sounds, tables(not bad beat tables), carpets, card backs. I can't change card faces. They seem to reload every time you open a new table (I'm guessing).

Make sure you run MergeKeys as admin.

I hope this is enough detail......

More detailed step by step instructions:

Do these four steps for MergeMods and MergeKeys (Win7 and Vista) and make sure you get MergeKeys recognizing tables first:
1) Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\RunBetterPoker.com MergeKeys Beta
2) Right click the MergeMods(and MergeKeys) .exe and select Properties
3) Click the Compatibilty tab
4) Under Privilige Level, select Run this program as administrator

The modded files are in the Mods directory (created when MergeMods runs for the first time) in the path in step 1 above. You can change card backs, carpets (not on bad beat tables), the button, maybe tables, rails, inner rails. If you want to make single image tables, make all the rails, tables, shadows clear PNGs.

The first time it runs it downloads a couple files from my website to the Mods directory (includes a few custom carpets and all custom sounds). You can play with those and if you screw up too bad, delete them and they will re-download automatically when you restart MergeMods.

If you want to test before you attempt modding, turn on sounds and images, click Save and Continue, then open your Merge client, open a table and go to custom colors. You should have new sounds on startup. Go to carpets #s 3,4,6 and 7 are custom.



Leave MergeMods on until you close the lobby or your Merge client will re-download un-modded files at startup. This won’t screw up your files in the Mods directory, but it is quit annoying.

If the files weren’t downloaded correctly on startup there will be some issues (you’ll have no sound or no table image if this happens). This is absolutely, positively not permanent. If this happens you can re-download the files from here and move them to the Mods directory:

http://www.runbetterpoker.com/joe/tables.zip
http://www.runbetterpoker.com/joe/sounds.zip

To modify files, simply open the zip files and replace anything you want with your renamed custom files. Then open your Mergeclient and see if it worked. Like I said above, some things appear not to be moddable (i.e card faces). If you screw anything up too badly, you can redownload the files by either deleting the zip files and restarting MergeMods or downloading them to the Mods directory manually.

Modded carpets should be 1280x915 pixels.

When you turn MergeMods off, all themes will revert to their original state.

If you use auto-login there are issues occasionally, so I suggest turning that off.

when im changing the files in the mod zips, what do i rename them as?

I downloaded an image and called it carpet0004 and dropped it in the tables zip file and it didnt work

You need to delete the old carpet0004 or yours will be renamed carpet0004(2). Go in, delete the old 004, rename the one you put in and fire up RPM. The file MUST be the same format, which in this case is .PNG

Please report back as soon as possible on whether it worked or not.

ah no what it is, is I needed to rename my image file as carpet0004.png instead of carpet0004.jpg, then i just dropped it in and it replaced the original file.


As you can see I have the carpets working

Pretty easy once you know the steps, right?

Did you try the sounds or any of the backgrounds I included?
