I know you can merge em, trust me. I have merged versions too, that I would use to make the cardsmall file. That is the layers from one of the original master files. I can't even imagine the hours I put into that deck, and all the early iterations.

Download, extract and run bat file to install.

enjoy! =)

PokerStars has just informed me that Badugi is on hold until a white deck is done.

You should check out this AHK Theme Installer for Stars that Everlong made. He even made me a version with splash images. Check out the Deuces Cracked Theme I posted the other day to try it out, and see how it is organized. You can even just use that source code to modify to your liking.

hi

,this questions aimed at fozzy,

How do you mod the 'deck.a.bmp' files to match the deck.bmp files, so i get my card numerals shadow where it should be ?
i've modded the numerals but as you can see the shadow doesnt match, and i am assuming it is the card.a.bmp file that needs altered.

Start by reading this guide.

PokerStars Themes Integration Guide

Those .a.bmp's are alpha-masks. They control transparency of the underlying image files.

You need to do one of 2 things.

Use MSKMGR.EXE to make the mask files editable. Then you can use a Photoshop type program to edit the grayshade bmps, which controls transparency.

Or you can make all new masks from scratch. Create your text as PNG files, and use PNG2BMP.EXE to convert them. It will output the bmp/.a.bmp files for you.

thanks fozzy

,very much appreciated

hi , im having a little problem with the command prompt :-

i do the png2bmp command and get

'Error: cannot open image file' .

Any ideas what might be wrong with my png?



i saved it in rgb format ,8 bits per channel as a png.....could be im in wrong directory or something

The PNG is probably fine, you are probably doing the command line process wrong. You have to navigate to the proper directory in the CMD window, which I hated. I use batch files to do it now. I wish I had known how to do them sooner. I cant tell you how many command line conversions I did at first.

Make sure you have the png2bmp in the folder with the png files. Then Right Click > New > Text Document > save as deck.bat. Right Click > Edit the BAT file. Paste in this code:

Save the batch file, and run it. It will automate the command line process, and output the 2 bmp and their masks. You can then delete the PNGs and BAT/EXE files if you want.

Here is a screen of some ctrls I made yesterday using the same process.

yeah,
the long way of doing that cd command is a pain, also its a bit of a learning curve for me , not used to using the command prompt,
your shortcutshould save me a lot of time

thanks again

Was the same for me. I made quite a few decks and a few themes, before I learned to use the batch files. I used to copy/paste the code to the command line for all the images in each folder.

Mr QuickSilver showed me the command line trick, but I should have happened across it sooner. I have seen a few other batch commands in the past, but hadn't really tinkered with any. Code is not my strong point, but I am starting to get better.

wow!

that bat file thing works really well

hi fozzy
Sorry for repeated requests for help , but if you have an answer to this, i should be sorted

the deck and deck.a bpm's work fine, but when i copy the cardrank and cardrank.a bpm's into pokerstars, and load up pokerstars the cards are not visible on the table; cardbase ,suits and numerals all not visible?

Any ideas

Which cardrank.bmp/.a.bmp are you using?? Default ones?? Some you made and converted yourself?? Are you sure they are named properly?? with the proper extensions (make sure you can view known/hidden file extensions in windows)?

If you want to RAR up the files, and email/pm them to me, I can take a look later, and see if anything wrong jumps out at me.

hehe, i never use cardsuit.bmp. they are transparent in all my decks

So are mine. He was asking about cardrank.bmp (the small upper left text).

is there a truetype font available with decent suits in it please?

also, lol command lines - essential computer skills imo, learning how to "speak" to a computer lets you do so many things so much easier

perfect, thanks

all the other cardrank bpms work fine , it just seems to be the largest ones in file 6 that cause the largest cards not to appear.

I dont need these anyway as i multitable , but it would be nice to complete the set.

i might reduce the brightness of the white,

sounds strange. you sure you named it right and converted them right from png to bmp?

Feel free to zip up the PNGs for size 6 and send em to me if you want me to take a look.

The other easy option, is to simply use the same images for size 6, that you do for size 5.

ive posted them to you at your psthemes email

thanks

I havent got anything yet. Try sending to fozzy <at> tiltbuster <dot> com

yep, i'm pretty sure i went through the same process as i did with the other five

fozzy , i've emailed you those bmp's to above address,although i'm happy enough with them the way they are for my needs anyway.
I replaced the cardrank bmp's in 6 w/ the cardrankbmp's in 5, as you suggested.
