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.

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

I'm on skin Poker Host. Does this work for that skin? I don't see where I can change carpet like Carbon skin.

Jl, this might be asking much but is there any way you can create like "Merge Bundle" and have everything in one program instead of a "merge keys" and a "merge mods".

Theres a single table image for sites without table options. It will be titled a seemingly random thread.jpg. Get a 1 piece table image and replace that.

It actually won't be in that pack. I'll fin out what thae filename is for pokerhost and get back to you in a bit.

Did you get it working?

Okay I've decided to get proactive and mod away this ugly Merge crap.

I'm just using the old load client but don't sign in yet method of swapping stuff. I completely blacked out the table jpegs so it is just the player pods with no table.

Does anyone know how to delete or blackout...
rake, it is sitting there looking like a bet from seat 7.
"total pot" in upper left?
"real money" or "tournament" written in center of table
in the view.poker.dat what is the name of the one for the "normal"/"mini" button? I never use it I want it gone from table.

Can you use a color a shade or two lighter than true black so that they work with MergeKeys? If you're planning to share that is.

Oh I was just tinkering, but will explain what I did. I downloaded Winzip so that I could open the Merge's stupid .dat files. I then copied view.poker.dat to my documents folder. After that I opened it with winzip and search through the pngs deleting some and using window paint to black out a few. And then just saved it in my documents. Then I open my merge client as usual but before I enter my log-in I copy the view.poker file from my documents into the merge resources file. Then enter log-in. I could speed this up with a bat file but not completely sure how to do it. And of course the next time you open merge client it will over-ride and you have to copy stuff in again before logging in. All this stuff is a pain. I play limit so I don't use Merge Key. Or should I say I use to play limit on other sites. The limit rake structure on Merge is a ****ing joke.

Frist and Kyle need an ass whooping for sneaking the UGEIA into port legislation years ago !!!

MergeMods handles all of the file deletion crap so that you don't have to move files around manually omce you've gotten it set up how you like.

Even as a limit player, MergeKeys might have some things you might find useful......and if you don't, you can always uninstall it once you get MergeMods set up.

Yeah, same question, I'd like to use that table. Instructions please, like which files to edit?

What site are you on? If you're on a site with one table ( i.e. Lock), it'll be different than on ones where you can select rails, carpet, interface colors (i.e. RPM, Carbon.

I am on RPM and I'd like to use that table. Instructions please?

I'm not positive on how to use single image tables on RPM/Carbon and other sites where you can change the rails/carpets/tables separately, but I think you need to replace all of the rail/table images with clear images of the same dimensions as the originals, then set your file as one of the carpet files.

I know it is possible.

I have not used it.

Original that you can barely see:

How to we implement this? I apologize for being stupid.

It hasn't been made public yet.

Can I purchase this one? I'll buy it right now.

Stack and tile now costs $15 a freaking month. If anybody is familiar with it, I would like to find out something similar to use to help me flip thru the tables. I don't even use stack and tile to it's highest form, I just use it to have 4 tiles of 4 tables each and program the esc button to bring up each table. Then it brings up a table that requires action. I'm lost w/out it. I use RPM

Do Want

ALKALION's table mods file is available here:
http://www.runbetterpoker.com/joe/tables%20(1).zip



Individual files can be added to your existing tables.zip file by deleting or renaming the current files and copying files over from his .zip. Alternately you can rename your existing tables.zip (example:table-backup.zip) and rename ALKALION's file to table.zip. Must be moved to the Mods folder.

The table is courtesy of Briiz (on 2p2 and www.grinders.org). I believe he has other mods available right now and has some other in the works. I'll post the links soon.

Sorry about the delay posting this. I've been a bit busy.
