Upper right hand corner, there is a drop down next to "normal/mini". From there you can custom table and card back colors.

Re: Merge(Carbon) Table Mods

I only have that option on normal tables, not bad beat ones.

need to copy the folder resources to the login and password in the client, then it works.

WolfZaharov explains where the image files are kept and that the .dat files are just .zip files renamed (some are .txt files renamed as .dat).

Editing the files is not a problem after unzipping them and then rezipping them. But when the modified files are placed back into the resources dir and the client is fired up, it just downloads the original files again.

I tried changing the date stamps of the files back to the original dates, but this didn't work.

I also tried modifying the stylesheet.brand.dat (which is a .txt file) to get rid of the logo in the middle of the tables. But same result. The client just downloads the original file.

I tried deleting upgrade_rt.exe ... same result ... it just downloads the original.

If we can figure out how the client "tests" to see if the files have been modified, we might be able to find a work around.

Unfortunately I can't decipher what WolfZaharov means by "need to copy the folder resources to the login and password in the client, then it works."

Any ideas anyone?

My guess is that it checks the CRC checksum of the file and reports it to the server, and if the CRC does not match, it re-downloads the file. If this is done over the HTTP protocol, it would be a matter of figuring out how to get it to download the file from a different server.

Also maybe you can try to set the file to read-only?

Re: Merge(Carbon) Table Mods

So basically it's unlikely that we're going to get table/card mods for Merge anytime soon?

Re: Merge(Carbon) Table Mods

when I played on Hollywood back in the day, somebody wrote a small script executable that opened the client, let it do its thing (checksum or w/e), and then overwrote the relevant graphics files with the mods.

sadly that person was not me.

there are a few of those floating around for iPoker and PokerStars, but the process for Carbon (Merge) cards seems to be handled differently

but i'm no programmer - hopefully there are some savvy programmers working on a solution

The ads can be turned off in settings......uncheck "Show news in game" or something like that.
