Robbie Robb's FTP Mods - Get 'Em Here!

[Robbie Robb]

Okay, since I'm planning on doing a few of these I figured, "Hey, why not create a thread dedicated to these mods and conversation around them?" instead of hijacking a FTP Update thread. Heh.

I've attached the ones from the other thread as well.

I am pleased to present Dark GradientsSP. This is the second mod previewed over in the other thread. This particular file, at the moment, does NOT have the lores version. When I get those done I'll upload a new version. It DOES, however, have the bright card backs that were requested, along with the TP logo back that I did before. It also does not have the suit pips at all. I'll release a new version with the pips in the next day or two (although the lores version may not have room for the pip).

One other feature this has is your choice of 'T' (default) or '10'. If you want '10' just rename the 10.svg file to something else (or delete it) and then name 10(1).svg to 10.svg.

I'm also uploading JUST the card backs as well as a separate file.

I mentioned it in the other thread so I'll mention it here as well: I'm not charging any money for these mods however donations are always welcome and would certainly go a long way to fulfilling special requests.

Thanks everyone and enjoy!

Card Backs

[Robbie Robb]

Grr. Editor took old time/date stamp instead of new one. Enjoy folks!

[melioris]

transfered another $5 cause these will be worth it, but there is a problem for me with the SP cards. Suits and colors are not matching up. Several suits look transparent, and sometimes multiple suits will come up black and when a player reveals his hand the cards are transparent but the big letter/number shows up.

[melioris]

are the file sizes right?

[Robbie Robb]

oh oh. that's not good. I'll take a look at it right now. I *think* I know what the problem is but I'll confirm. Obviously there'll be a new version shortly...my apologies.

[Robbie Robb]

Okay, should be fixed. For some odd reason, Illustrator chose to save the gradient as a .PNG file for *some* of the cards. Not all, just some. The ones it did, I loaded up in Illustrator and it showed them fine at the time so I just shrugged my shoulders.

Since I finished up the cards just before I had to start cooking supper I also did the unforgivable - I zipped and uploaded WITHOUT actually testing them in Tilt. Rest assured, they have now been tested and appear to be working without issue.

Take a look and let me know what you think. If you see anything odd looking let me know. There's something I see that I'm not sure if I'm imagining it or not and I want to see if anyone else sees it because it shouldn't be there.

Corrected file is in the first post.

And thanks again for the donation!

TP - version with pips should be a day or so. Should hopefully be pumping out lores for both decks at that time as well.

One request.... can you post screen shots with each file? That way, people will be able to preview what they are downloading before they actually make a decision (without having to find the other thread, dig through it).

I kind of like the set up I have right now (save the 2, which tilts me like mad), so I think I will hold off on these until you've got the kinks worked out and the lores done, etc.

Thanks for working on this. I'll spread the word a bit once these are 100% ready to go.

[Robbie Robb]

No problem! Screenshots coming up!

Can you explain again the issue with the 2? I just compared it against 2 and the '2' itself is exactly the same size. It's also the same size as the 3. The only thing I can see with the diamonds is that the suit image is taller than the other three suits.

I'm going to completely re-do that deck, which I've since dubbed Cherry Buster. It's next up after I get Dark GradientsWP completed.

Dark GraidentsSP is now 100% functional with the link above.

Screenshots coming soon!

[Talking Poker]

Can't wait to see them. I guess I could install and just overwrite them with the old ones if I don't like them.

As for the 2, it's in the old deck you made with the lighter colors and the suits behind them. The 2 itself (the number) is smaller than any other number/letter on any other card.

I can screen shot for you if you want, but I figured your master file (which I apparently can't see with the software I currently have installed) would make it obv to you... no?

[Talking Poker]

DarkGradientsSP doesn't do anything for me...? Maybe because of the table size I use or something? Maybe I need to wait for the full lores deck, or whatever the difference is that makes this file size much smaller than the old Cards.zip file?

Here is your 2 issue.

[Robbie Robb]

Woah! No wonder that tilts the shit out of you. That's just messed up. I'm sure it's not like that in my deck but I'll double check.

As for the Dark GradientsSP, it's could be because you're using smaller tables. One thing you can do is check the new option in the...err...options: Use Standard Deck for all sizes. (or something along those lines) It will ignore the lores files and scale the standard down smaller. But it makes it all jaggy...Stupid renderer.

Edit: Actually, the more I look at that screenshot, the more fucked up it looks. The T is smaller than the 5 but bigger than 2. Weird shit. Off to check my files...

[Robbie Robb]

Dark GradientsSP is now totally complete. All lores and nf_lores files are included.

I have removed the bright/TP logo cardbacks as not everyone may like those by default. They are now offered as a separate download.

[Robbie Robb]

Here is the cardback files I put together for TP.

[Talking Poker]

My card backs came through as a (dark) blue color for the 4th one, not the TP logo (I don't mind, as I'm using the bright green anyway, but wanted to let you know).

The cards themselves are looking good though. Looking forward to the version with the suits, and shipping another $5 now anyway as incentive!

[Robbie Robb]

Thanks for pointing this out. It worked on my system because the original .png file was where it was pulling the graphic from. I've now embedded it into the .svg file so it will now be correct. I've updated the link in the original post.

Let me know what you think of the attached screenshot. If there are any suggestions I can implement them now before I break it apart into separate files.

[melioris]

so fucking sexy. Well done.

[Talking Poker]

They look good to me. Have you tried them on an Omaha table to see how they look? Wondering if the large rank needs to be moved to the right a hair... I'll only use them for HoldEm, 99% of the time, so they look good to me.

[Robbie Robb]

I haven't tried them on an Omaha table, but I did wonder about moving it to the right. As it stands right now, the edges of some of the cards WILL be visible in Omaha. The first build of the deck I actually based all the numbers starting off the right edge but decidedly did not like the look of it.

Actually, I haven't tried them on any table yet. They're still in one big file and haven't been broken out into individual cards yet as it's easier to make changes to one big file.

[BlibbityBlabbity]

I had a thought looking at the cards with the suits. How about something like this?

I'm not sure what TP (others) use the suits for, but.... just a thought.

Suits could be lighter or darker to define them more if necessary.

[Robbie Robb]

Oooh. That's sexy. That may have to be the next deck...
