I will pay someone 2 zillion USD to fix the abortion that is the bad beat tables. also if someone comes up w a fix for the cards I will bequeath my 1st born son

first...

Hey, cant figure out the bad beat tables, but wrote a basic script that starts the client, then pauses to wait for the updates, then pastes the modded file into the resources folder. Not fancy, but saves manual copy and paste each time you start client.

can't you just move stuff off the table altogether?

Hey everyone,

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)\CarbonPoker\resources

4) MergeSounds 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.

I'll work to add something to allow custom table mods as well.

I want to add table mod ability, but I haven't been able to figure out which files do what. Please email me (Support@RunBetterPoker.com) or pm me if you have some modded files that I can use. I would specifically like one with the carpet that is black adjusted a couple shades so that it isn't true black, but it still looks like it.

Once I have the modded files, I will add the ability to change the files automatically in the resources file while avoiding the re-download on Merge client startup.

If you like my table mod for merge maybe we can think of some sort of collaboration

right now it works with a bat file, no re-downloading problems but one needs to press enter in the bat file window while at the login screen

Mine only downloads the file the first it is run, but then it doesn't need to again.......because without a sound file, it is pretty useless. Figured I'd include a sound file for the less technically inclined.

Your table mod looks cool.....what .dat file does that go into? I've already got my project changing view.poker.dat. I took a couple hours and added that ability. I just hate doing graphic stuff.

Email me at Support@RunBetterpoker.com or PM me.

Alright, I added support for table mods.....I think I can do card mods without too much difficulty, but I need some modded files. Every time I try to alter the PNGs they end up unreadable. Can someone just draw a line through every row on the card files and send them to me? PM me if you can help.

Somebody please test this and let me know if it works well with modded table images.
MergeMods allows you to replace the default Merge table themes and sounds with custom files (comes with Full Tilt sounds and an image file for you to mod). All you have to do is rename the files you want to be added properly, drop them into the included .zip files and start up your Merge client.

Instructions:
1) You need to have MergeKeys installed and set up to recognize tables before MergeMods will work, as MergeMods shares settings with it. You do not need to run MergeKeys for MergeMods to work after that.
2) MergeMods 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 MergeMods. Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\RPMPoker\resources
4) MergeMods (FT) should be left open while your lobby is open. If you close it, your Merge software may re-download default files every time Merge is restarted.
5) Merge client must be installed in English at this time.

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

Screen shot.

Ok so I've done all the steps listed but I can't get it to work. From my understanding I'm suppose to put in the proper path and then just hit "Save and Continue" and then I should have FTP sounds right? Am i missing a step here because it's not working?

1) Install MergeKeys. Available here: www.RunBetterPoker.com
2) Do the Auto setup on the Player Setup tab in MergeKeys
3) Start MergeMods
4) Hit Save and Continue
5) Input the sources file path for the site you are playing on
6) restart your Merge client.....leave MergeMods running while the Merge client is.

I'll most likely eliminate the need for MergeKeys at some point. for now they are sharing the same settings files.

Ok so the only step i didn't do was restart the Merge client. Was that step listed somewhere and i just couldn't see it?

So the sounds are great but when i use the custom image it turn the whole screen black and one of the players is also complete black so i'm assuming that's a bug?

Are you playing on Lock? That function only works on site where you can customize the tables for now. I'll be including a custom table file soon.

The tables zip file MergeMods ships with right now only adjusts the black "carpet" so that it will work with MergeKeys.

If you replace the table image in the tables zip file (Mods folder). It will work.

If you want to test:

Try pulling the table image file out of the zip file.....and play around with it in paint. Then put it back in tables.zip. Then reopen your lobby and open a table. It should look different. You can then delete the tables zip file and restart MergeMods. the originals will redownload.

I'm playing on RPM. On some tables more than one person is blacked out and the "Loading" on the table won't go away when using the table mod.

I also tried opening the zip file and it won't let me, i keep getting an error that says the compressed folder is invalid. Also when i try to extract it it tells me it's empty. Hope this helps.

You can download this Image:
http://www.runbetterpoker.com/joe/pokerTable.jpg

Add it to C:\Program Files (x86)\RunBetterPoker.com MergeKeys Beta\tables.zip
Name it pokertable.jpg
Close the zip file
Turn on Use custom images in MergeMods
Hit Save and continue
Close your Merge lobby
Reopen Merge and login
Open a table
you should see the table image.

Turn Use custom images off in Merge mods
Restart Merge
You will be back to normal

I can provide a screenshot if you would like.

I'm using RPM so i was able to get back to my original table quite easy just by turning the custom table mod off.

Ohhhhh........Go to C:\Program Files\RunBetterPoker.com MergeKeys Beta\Mods

delete the tables.zip file........I don't think it finished downloading on your first startup of MergeMods.

Restart MergeMods

Give it a minute or two to download tables.zip

Restart RPM.

The tables .zip has no noticeable differences. The only thing different is the black carpet is 3 shades lighter, which allows you to use black carpet with MergeKeys.

The download of that file failed when you installed.

Delete the file
Restart MergeMods
Give it a minute or two
Reopen RPM

Or you can just download it here and save to the mods file:
http://www.runbetterpoker.com/joe/tables.zip

That worked! Thanks!

If you guys want to put together some with the same dimensions as this one, I can include them in a pack.

Did this for a quick test.
