Everlong writes code just for me

I'm looking into doing some ultra stripped-down mods for myself, so thanks for the resources.

can anybody tell me how I can change the card theme? I want the real waffle cards, not the simplified stars theme

Hi Smart, did Everlong get you hooked up, or do you still need the mod? I left a post for you on PSThemes.

Thx

Look what Fozzy started working on. I still have to MOD the 2 Text Image files (change, resize, and reposition the text). Then I just have to do the pips.

*Everlong - Am I going to have to re-create the Alpha-Layer file (.A)? I dont really understand it completely, but I can figure it out if I need to. I didnt do anything with it for the cardbase.bmp.

OK.

I dont feel like trying to learn about Alpha Channels right now. I will need to do that before I can use my own text/pips. In the meantime, I figured I would post a set of card faces and backs for free.

I would be glad to make a few more sets of faces/backs, for a few small donations to my almost non-existent stars account.


*Make a copy of C:\Program Files\PokerStars\Gx\chips&deck\deck\simple before you begin changing image files.

* I made these using the "Waffle " Simple deck on stars. Each of these different sized cardbase.bmp has to go in the appropriate sub-directory of: C:\Program Files\PokerStars\Gx\chips&deck\deck\simple.

Stars-5.4-DFG.zip

Screengrab of the ZIP contents:

if fozzy starts showing interest in modding Pokerstars decks/tables ... id be a very happy man .

Well, all I need to show more interest, is more of a Bankroll at Stars. (hint, hint). Someone recently gave me $10 at stars for a FT mod I made them. The 1c/2c no lim tables are pretty soft there. +50 ptbb/100 = sustainable??

My BR on FT makes it much more +EV to play there.

I will IM you instructions for the alpha layer crapparola.

It is the card faces I am interested in changing. I have been unable to do it thus far.

That's what I did. The faces were the easy part. The Text/Pips will take me some time.

Grab my ZIP file from above.

Alright, thanks. I got that to work. I like the card faces. I just wish I could choose a different font.

I will be making complete decks, with my own fonts and pips, in the near future. They wont all be free like my FT decks. I will probably make one basic stars deck for free so everyone can test a set. Then my premium decks will likely go on PSThemes.com where they can be purchased.

Fozzy, It would be great if you make theme that has clearly visible sign SEAT OPEN. It is hard to see how many players are at table.

I dont make Themes for Stars, and dont plan on it. That is BarNuthin and Everlong's thing. I am trying to make some of my decks because so many people have requested them. I don't plan on learning how to MOD anything other than cards at Stars.

Just added a border to my card backs image. The 2 down cards seem to blend together before.

I edited my card backs very dark to fit my mod:



My Stars mod:

So I tried a few times to get these custom themes going, but was unsuccessful until I reinstalled the Poker Stars software and started from scratch. Now the themes are all working great, but PAHUD doesn't seem to be working any longer. Anyone else run into this same problem or have any ideas to fix it?

i dont use PAHUD, but i would guess you need to download the latest beta version of PAHUD. You prolly hadnt updated PStars in a long time, now you need a newer version of the HUD to work with the newer version of stars.

I actually had kept Stars updated. PAHUD worked before changing the theme, and doesn't work afterwards. Doesn't make much sense to me. Maybe I'll try over on the PAHUD site. Thanks anyways.

Amazing mod, please send us link for DL

yeah this mod is awesome would love to see a dl link

This is my first attempt at sharing files. I just signed up with MediaFire to do this...

NoChance Stars Mod

The zip file contains a folder named skoal2k4.pokerstars.com. Just place the entire folder in your xtemes folder.

It also contains the back.bmp that I am using. This needs to be placed inside C:\Program Files\PokerStars\Gx\chips&deck\deck\simple

You will need to also follow fozzy71's instructions above to get the card faces.

Once complete you need to update your xthemes.ini to include the following:

[skoal2k4@skoal2k4.pokerstars.com]
name=skoal2k4
folder=skoal2k4.pokerstars.com\skoal2k4
base=simple@pokerstars.com
deck=simple

Then simply log into Stars and change your theme to skoal2k4 and select the Simplified deck.

*Disclaimer: I am using an old xtheme provided by skoal2k4 a long time ago. I simply made additional changes to some of the seats, controls, and table.

I like the dark background so hud numbers display clearly. Again, hopefully this works. It is my first attempt.

WOOHOO. Finally got Everlong's XThemes workin on my machine. Now I just need to learn how to finish making my cards for stars.

Thanks a lot. This mod is just perfect.

To everlong & others:
great mods thx )

here is a table: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=22AI9H1E

everlong can you make a second pitchblack version with it? it might look nice especially with these card "holes"

I made one by myself based on your mode here is what it looks like:


looks alright but the edges are gone somewhere, probably because i used ur mask file +)(how to create one? )

and cardholes needs to get bigger but thats easy to do
