Today's FT Update...

[Robbie Robb]

Thank you! Received! I'll see if I can figure out which font it is that they use there. The one in the .PNG screenshot I'm pretty sure is the same font I'm using - Arial Rounded but then in the .SVG files it's using a different font.

One other thing - the lores cards are still the god-awful FT defaults. I'm working on that. As a test, I substituted those cards for the lores and nf_lores ones as well. It's...an odd effect. It doesn't work properly as it actually crops the cards BUT it's kinda neat the result. It's definitely better then what the defaults are, but still not right. Gonna try to fix those too and will get those posted as well. Also, have NO clue what the difference is between "nf_lores" and "lores"

One more for tonight.

Unzip and put this one in the NewTable\Common\Cards\card_backs folder, overwriting the one that's there. You guys'll like it. Trust me.

I'll check out the card backs later, probably tomorrow. As for the font discussion, I am partial to the tighter, smaller, and fancier fonts for my everyday life (cochin and Bodoni SvtyTwo ITC TT are my favs) but for the cards you want thick strokes and broad, simple lines rendering each character as blocky and square as possible. Arial Black is my earlier favorite.

Here's the latest update. It now includes the lores files.

I'll see about making my next card mod with Arial Black. Might try something a little different with the background for those ones.

Is this to change the card backs? I'm gonna pass, if it is. I'm currently using the very bright ones from that 2p2 sample I linked to, and I love them. I can't see how you could possibly improve them, but post a screenshot and maybe you can convince me otherwise.

[Robbie Robb]

i think you'll like them. hopefully

Heh, cool.

I like the idea of them (and used to have similar ones, with the logo on horizontally), but I prefer the bright cardbacks, so I never miss someone in a hand.

Right now, with a black table, the midnight background, and bright green card backs, it's would be hard to miss someone.

I know you can choose 4 card backs though... so maybe you could use 3 of the bright colored ones and use this as #4. ie, keep the green, yellow and red from the other card set, and replace blue with the TP backs.

RR... I really am liking your cards and the font is growing on me.

The only very minor critique I have of them right now is the size of the letters/numbers (which I love) interferes with the suit in the background, especially at the top of the number.

Unlike mel, I like seeing the suits, but I wonder if this could be done in a more subtle way...? Like, maybe lose the background image and put the suit in the top, like how you have the small number, either next to it or below it or across from it - it would depends on how it looks in 4 card games like Omaha, I guess.

Just a thought.

Edit: Actually, I just noticed that the size of the 2d looks pretty good... the other numbers all appear larger?

[Talking Poker]

And finally (and this is totally minor), is there any way to change the awful looking cards show in the HH replayer? I'm guessing no, sine it's built into their flash.

Oh, and WTF are "lores" anyway? I installed your latest updates and didn't notice a difference anywhere.
