Today's FT Update...

[Robbie Robb]

Okay, so here's a sample of the cards I'm working on. Let me know what you think. Any and all suggestions welcome! Font is Arial Rounded MT Bold. Original font was Segue UI but the queen was too big (guess I could of resized that one card but meh).

Diamonds are done. The rest of the Lucky Charms family are too follow soon! Spades will be grey/black, not yellow.

Okay...it looks like some have beat me to the punch over on 2+2. Damn me for having a life.

Head over to this thread:


There's a waffle-esque SVG card mod in the very first link but even better is post #59 by Abstractus. He's figured out a way to let you use your old .PNG files for both cards AND tables!

So head over there and grab what you need!

[Robbie Robb]

Okay, after FULLY reading through the thread it seems that the method for using the old .PNGs is a little flaky. Also, the deck he created uses '10' instead of 'T' for the tens.

So, I'm probably going to continue work on my deck and will release it here along with installation instructions when I've got it finished. Also, if anyone has any specific requests, let me know.

The using old .png files method is the best - in theory. But if it doesn't actually work, or is flakey, I guess I'll just go with the new mods.

I actually quite like the deck in the OP linked above, so maybe I'll just use that. It's close to my old deck, but maybe a little bit better.

As for patches (for PT2 dinosaurs like me)...

PT2:


Currently, this is the most recent patch (imports but doesn't move HH files):


No official comment about a PAHud patch yet:


FTS (which apparently is turning into "Poker Shortcuts" and will work with Starts too - hurray!!!) hopes to have something available by Sunday... at least for basic functions:


If PAHud doesn't get patched, I guess that will be the boost I need to finally upgrade to PT3 or HEM. From what I've heard, I should just suck it up and go with HEM. True?

RR, my offer still stands, particularly if you can make a deck without the big-ass suit icon in the background. Just a solid color background, the letter/number, and a small letter/number in the top left corner.

[Robbie Robb]

I'm all over it! Converting the deck I'm working on to a solid color will be a snap! As soon as I figure out the right settings in Illustrator as I'd rather use it over Inkscape. Should have it by the end of this week.

[Robbie Robb]

Okee, here we go.

Attached should be two files. Cards.zip and Cards without suits.zip. One has the background suit image and one doesn't. 99% of you should be able to figure out which is which. For that 1%...well...tough.

Installation:
1) Open up My Computer and browse to your Full Tilt Directory. If you haven't done a customer install then it's C:\Program Files\Full Tilt Poker. Continue inside that folder to Graphics\NewTable\Common\Cards
2) Once there you should see about 22 directories with names like "clubs", "clubs_green", "clubs_green_lores", etc.
3) Make a backup copy of: "clubs_green", "diamonds_blue", "hearts", and "spades"
4) Extrace the 4 directories in the zip right into this folder.
5) Start Full Tilt and enjoy (restart Full Tilt if already running)

NOTE: Because of the changes to the way cards are done, if you frequently switch between 4 color and 2 color...well...you're in for an interesting 2 color deck.

If you enjoy the, donations are gratefully accepted on Tilt or Stars.

If you have any requests let me know and we'll work something out!

The screenshot is kinda blurry. They're really rather crisp.

I've updated the zips. See further down in thread for newest versions.
