limpshove, when are those cards gonna be available?

Within the next couple days. I've spent all weekend working on a spanking new installer and it's now being tested by a few people for problems.

fyp

Wondering if someone would kindly convert this .svg for me.

I prefer zips to installers.. I really hate the damn exe's!
Specially when I'm combining themes.

Most of them, unless the creator protected the package, can be unzipped like any other archive with 7zip. Some of the guys may encrypt or password protect them, but I dont think I ever did.

Worst case scenario you just create a new folder on the desktop, install the exe to the new folder, and backup the folder you installed the mod to, so you can pick and choose what you want to use later.

Didn't somebody post a kind of step by step "modding for dummies" guide at some point?
I wouldn't mind trying to make some basic card mods for kicks, but I have no idea where to start and don't really have experience w/ inkscape.

If anybody knows this guide/post Im talking about - hook a brotha up

Is this card mod free or commercial?

2 questions. dose anyone know how to get rid of the ghost cards hen you fold? you know the ones you mouse over and they pop up.

also can you get rid of the mute player and put me her buttons when you left click on a person?

thanks for helpin

There is a ton of youtube videos explaining the basic Inkscape tools. Like how to change color etc.

Open up a FullTilt card and pull it to bits to see what is going on.

Be warned that once you start you might not be able to stop.

convert to what?

tiltbuster exes been annoying me. I forgot to copy my graphics folder. I just wanted to grab some backgrounds... so I put the temporary folder in.. twice, since it does an extraction n then another installation thing.. yet it still installed to my ftp folder and wrote over everything grrr

i love this background thx alot dude! and i love the darker one even more what kind of chips are you using?[/QUOTE]

can u send me this one please?

Thanks,

DR

I downloaded the pack the super ultimate pack from awhile back http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...postcount=3722

(which was awesome btw, ty for putting that together)

however, only problem i'm having is with my notes. my notes are there when i hover over the names, but the colors aren't popping up. any ideas?

So if I wrote an application that read install data from an XML and ZIP file, would there be a lot of use for that? A GUI program that would read in theme info from an XML file to fill out preset options like cards, backgrounds, buttons, etc. Then the user could customize those if they wanted (it would get all possible options from the ZIP file). Finally it would copy the selected items into the FTP install directory.

Would I need to do any file merging? In case two files needed to make different changes to a layout.xml file depending on if they were installed?

Thoughts? Feature requests?

Just the fold button? I don't think so. FT uses either bigbutton_on / _off or smallbutton_on / _off for all player actions. On a whim, I thought the position of said buttons might be alterable within the layout.xml, but that does not appear to be the case. I was hoping that if I could find where the client is calling the placement of the buttons, we could trick it, but to no avail unfortunately. As always, I'm happy to be wrong and others might chime in to the contrary.

If you are ok with all of your buttons being different color, let me know what you're after and I'll see if I can't help you out. Something like this?

"" for the concept

the Layout XML is updated in a large percentage of FTP updates, thus resetting most themes. something that could re-add custom lines of codes to "new" XML files would be useful. other then that, simply re-using a .exe to re-install a mod seems efficient.


*disclaimer*
"idk what im talkin about really. im not that good w/ puters"

someome smrt chime in plz

This is doable, but you'd have to write a custom XML file for the installer. I could see more people wanting a mod installer that would live longer than a few months. How many XML files does a mod normally replace? Do the changed nodes have names that stay static? PM me your Layout.xml and the original Layout.xml. I'd like to diff them.

My original question didn't really get answered, so let me give you an example. If I tell the installer to install custom empty seat images and a dealer button, would the XML layout be different than if I just wanted it to install a new dealer button? If so, it'd have to have a feature to allow injecting xml changes into the layout file, which would solve the above problem as well.

I'm not allowed to moonlight, but I can write donation based software. Basically it's free and you donate whatever you think is fair. Then I'll match the year's total donation (I'm not expecting much) and give it to Child's Play. The catch being I get to deduct it from my taxes and you don't.

Keep the ideas coming, so I can finalize a functional spec.

I give up. I still haven't figured out how to get my Note pods back since the update with the f'n badges. If someone can tell me step by step and walk me through how to get these as my note pods and have them show up on the table i'll ship you 10 bucks on FT. Help! Thanks. You can pm if you like.

Note: The pods are in the lobby and in the last hand history and the notes are there when I hold the cursor over the name, but the icons are not there on the table.

is this what you're looking for?

ok comparing, there are slight variations but it's close enough i guess

Same font used in my Sharp/MegaSharp deck, and the ill-fated Marlboro deck, iirc.

I've thought about this before as well. With the newer mods making changes to xml files, applying mods is no longer just a case of copying graphics files.

A tool like you are describing would be useful not only for mod designers, but to end users that like to switch their mods around from time to time (and of course to reapply them when FTP makes mod-destroying software changes!).

Using XSL, say, you could modify whatever the current layout.xml contains to include either new nodes or changes to data elements. Say, the mod developer (or end-user) provides an "updates.xml" file that your tool can load, which contains just new nodes and/or existing nodes with different data values, and you apply those changes to the correct layout.xml (remember there is one for classic and one for racetrack).

gl!

What about just uninstalling and reinstalling the FTP client?
Remember to back up any and all mods, plus your player notes file first!

And my London Deck

Thanks, but I wish it were that simple. It doesn't seem to work. There were a few posts a while back about how to do it. I have the badges turned off. I tried changing the layout.xml files as directed in those posts but it didn't work for me ...... I'm a moran.

The offer still stands.

Here is an example of my note pods being in the replayer but not on the table.



In unrelated news, the new Ray Lamontagne album that came out today is spectacular.
