I dunno then, maybe Joe or someone that uses MM can help out. I have my own script running that does the swap for me. Poke around in the MM settings, there may be a switch to have it use the layouts file. Are you running it as Admin? Right-click Run as...

Also, what tables are you looking at? That file only changes the 9, 6, and HU tables

Yeah, both MK and MM are set to run as Administrator in Properties under the Compatibility tab.

The only thing I've seen regarding layout on MK is this...



Clicking on 'Save New Layout' leads to this...



Not sure what/if anything to do here?

I noticed the default 9 man on Carbon already has a seat at 6 o'clock.

But when I open 6man or HU tables they're still Carbon default/no 6 o'clock seating.

I found the following digging around in the sub folders of Merge Keys, 'Misc' folder (if it's relevant?)...

Okay, weird, it just magically started working...?

FWIW, I believe the layout manager in the MK client is for placing tables into slots and not for arranging items on the table (and those layout files in the Misc directory are the saved slot locations. Sorry can't help more than that; never tried modding seat locations myself.

Yeah, Max is right there. An unfortunate confusing naming thing. But layouts is what I called my file I was using and Joe just kept it when he rolled that into MM.

Glad it is working for you now though.

Is there any way that my carbon carpet can look anything like pokerstar's 'Old Black' theme? Has anybody every attempted it ?

It can look how ever you like. Check out some of the earlier posts on how to replace the carpet. That one may even be one of the ones ted or I linked.

How do I find the carpet from the pokerstar's files though ?

If you still have PS installed, the files are in themes\oldblack. fg.bmp I think

I assume that since there are different table, carpet and background files, I cut and overlay them to make them workable for merge mods by using photoshop ?

It is all laid out in this thread. Basically make the rails and table images transparent and convert that fg.BMP to carpet000x.PNG.

Thanks a lot COKE_MAN, I sincerely appreciate your help. I will browse through the thread more carefully this time and if I have any questions, will ask away.

No prob, I'll help where I can. FWIW, the tables.zip that MM ships with and the tables.zip in my links earlier have those files already set to transparent. All you would have to do is overwrite one of the Carpet0000x files with the oldblack file and select it in the merge client

Trying to get merge mods working on my new pc that I just put together. I remember having trouble when I did this half a year ago, but managed to get it to work eventually.

These are the steps I've taken so far.

1. Setup Merge Keys
2. Setup Merge Mods and confirmed the custom carpets showed up in the poker client.
3. Unzipped the tables.zip folder to my desktop.
4. Replaced a carpet file with the sexy black carpet in post #493.
5. Zipped it back up and replaced the old tables.zip
6. Reopened merge mods(in administrator mode obv) and opened poker client and 1 table.



I've also tried this with just placing a chips file in there and same result. Any ideas?

Make sure when you zipped that file back up that your zipping program did not add a folder to the path of the files. Just open the zip and look in the path column to see if anything is there.

Thank you! That was exactly the issue. Everything is working fine now and perfect timing before I start my grind today

Merge Mods stopped working for me this week

So, has Merge put its act together and allow us to mod the rest of the files like the text on the pods?

Hello All,

I have never attempted any type of modding to any poker rooms, but I am very anxious to mod Carbon. Obv I do not have any understanding of the coding, etc. What I have gained so far is that MergeKeys needs to be installed and configured, which will allow MergeMods to work. From what I've read…I will need to copy any images and save them to the MM zip files, to allow me to utilize these desired themes, (tables, cards, chips, etc.) I know there are many references to the answers on how to complete these actions, being included in this thread, but, someone like me, who has no knowledge or background with this, is it as easy as I've described? So if I install MK and MM, put into the zip file any images that I find and would like to use, follow the instructions on how to delete and save these files, and boom, I'm set? Please help a total noob.

Thanks guys

Probably yes.

After that, if something doesn't work, it's a few hours of trial and error till you nail it down.

Does anyone have nova table themes from stars that work with merge mods? I miss them so much and would like to feel like I'm playing on stars while grinding

Oh no! It looks like the Paulson Chips link is broken on every post. Does anyone have the Paulson chips available? They used to be my favorite on Full Tilt and Stars.

Any way to get the pokerstars sounds instead of ftp sounds?
