There's some amazing cards itt, they are just all too special.

This is pretty much it. Change happens very slowly, and in small increments. Not because people don't like change, -most don't- but because it is extremely difficult to make a large change that is an improvement on what has gone before. Essentially the card deck of the English speaking world has not changed at all in 400 years. Hard to believe, right? And if you look at science and art the advancements that have mattered have been tiny steps. Usually, radical novelty is regressive.

Like it or not, as designers we are stuck with the history we have. But this does not stop us trying to be original. And to do that we must experiment whatever way we can. Out there somewhere is a currently unknown idea for a digital poker deck that will be the "standard" for future online poker players. And because originality, improvements, and genius advance incrementally, that deck might be designed by a design n00b who, having seen all the experiments in threads like this might make one tiny change that no-one else has seen, and baam - everyone will be making derivatives of that.

When you look at the history of playing cards you read that they began in China where a ruler played with his wife and had the pieces of paper decorated to entertain her. So, technically speaking, a professional poker player should have unadorned decks as anything else is diverts the attention. The ruler's wife needed paint because she actually was not really interested in the game itself. The pretty designs were to keep her entertained.

EDIT: this does not mean that the future "standard" digital deck will be plain.

Which things can I mod in PS that won't be autorestored by the updater? I thought it were dealerbutten+chips but I'm not sure.

Seems to be a lot more "advertising" and what-not for paid mods instead of free like the thread is suppose to be for.

Probably not the best for multitabling, but that's pretty sweet. N1

great idea!! really interesting and I don't mean in a purple way...

perhaps too many hilights in the fire

or u should try different flame patterns for each colour.

Yea thought about different flames as well but I guess it would strain the eyes even more... gonna give it a try though if I find some nice flames. However, I think this one is quite nice (read: pretty damn close to perfect), isn't it?

the gx.ini is encrypted and compressed by stars. to decrypt the file you need a special software you can get here from my website as a trusted source...

http://www.vvolfskinz.web-shop.us/in...=47&Itemid=100

inside the zip file is the decrypting software as well as a readme file with some short instructions how to use it.

after decryption of the gx.ini you uncompress it with winrar. you will get a standard textfile which can beedited with any texteditor.

inside the gx.ini you will find entry for each table element describing where it will be displayed and how it will be handled by the client.

you can edit the values and this way you will redesign the look of the client.

this is the link to the original thread on pokerstrategy about the gx.ini settings.
http://ru.pokerstrategy.com/forum/th...tuser=0&page=1

i have collected some basic info from this thread...

[2x2], [2x4], [2x7], [9h2], [9h4], etc.
The first figure is the number of seats, the second is the number of hole cards. for example 2x2 is a heads up table holdem. two seats and two hole cards.

personal settings

[9x2]
seat = 520,45 659.106 738.234 616.350 396.376 184.348 58.234 140.105 283,45
status = 85,4 84 -2 -2,55 -87,2 0,53 86,4 0,56 -86, -1 -87,3
large = 498,13 635,70 708.198 576.314 368.338 164.314 30.198 94,70 240,13
small = 536,87 598.115 672.205 588.278 419.313 172.277 102.204 177.113 239,87
bet = 532.148 619.183 658.243 559.309 352.308 222.309 136.242 160.176 257.147
dealer = 512,87 652.145 672.240 550.316 381.315 233.316 107.242 127.145 271,88
pot = 340.262 482.280 198.280 700,50
align = 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
offset = 0

seat - seat position
border - avatar positioning
action - status messages
status - location of the screenname / stack movement
large - location cards
small - location small cards
bet - bet amounts and chips
dealer - dealerbutton
pot - location main and sidepots

the following line in gx.ini is responsible for the color of the player's screenname and the color of their stacksize.

status_color = f0f0f0 2af63e f0f0f0 2af63e

1-color screenname
2-color stack
3-color screenname flashing
4-color stack flashing

background color on the ground "seat open"
Line shield_color = 4F4F4F

single_line_pot_label = 0 line corresponds to the number of rows in the pot
0 -2 lines
1 -1 line
total_pot = 397,16


[Total_pot]
opacity = 224 - Transparency
color = 000000 - font color
bg_color = cfe8ff - background color
border_color = 000000 frame color
border_size = 2,2 - frame size

by editing the coordinates given in the ini you can determine where the objects like the pods or hole cards will be shown.

after editing the gx.ini save the edited file and copy it as it is without encrypting or compressing to the pokerstars folder and replace the ini file of the theme you want to change.

start the pokerstars client by using the pokerstars.exe ! this is important as the client normally starts by using the update.exe which will overwrite your changes. you have to make an update from time to time so make a backup of your edited gx.ini files.

hope this is getting you a start... you can ask in this thread for specific settings if you need to and i will try to help ya.



is there a stars version of this deck?


@mdudov: do you made a stars version or would it be ok for you if i would convert your svg version to stars?
The download linked to here doesn't seem to be working for me. Can anyone re-upload?
