New images from our friend Darkwaltz4!

Go Darkwalz4, go!

Ps: What do you think to "encourage" the development of Triple Triad with a donation? ;)

That looks really great :) More like it is in the game Final Fantasy VIII.

:) theres lots more you can see. if anyone is interested in being a tester in a few weeks, PM or email me. i will probably need all those interested to sign up at a specific forum (you dont have to post anywhere and ill just set you up to help test)

Wow! I'm looking forward to that. :D

working on 3.6 ?

the current version has a port to 3.5 which can be made to work for 3.6, but i did not make it.

i am working on the new version which will be for 3.6 :)

Any ideas on a rough release date for the new 3.6 release?

Darkwaltz4 is working on it, I'm sure he'll annouce it once its ready, its a full rewrite and is much much better then the first build.

ETS is early summer 2007. if you are interested to be a tester, please PM me. we will most likely be testing on PixelFX's site. for some screenshots of the new version, theres i think 3 a few posts back from this one. if any of you have ideas for the new version, tell me them now while the hack is still flexible.

I offer me for test your Triple Triad :up:

I'm planning on reworking the whole thing to work with professional wrestling, which means deleting all the cards and making whole new ones. My question is... when a pack is given out, are the cards completely random, or does it specifically take a certain percentage/odds of getting each level card? Lets say I just have 50 Level 1 cards and 50 Level 9 cards in my database - when someone buys a pack, are there odds that say 1 out of X times they'll receive a Level 9 card, or does it just give them 10 cards completely at random (expected five Level 1 and five Level 9 cards in the pack)?

right now the hack will use a progressively rarer appearance rate as it gets to higher levels, but i think it will error if there are no cards at a particular level (because its hard coded). the new version has definable card packs :)

Oh, i definitely plan to have cards of every level, that was just for example's sake. I just wanted to be sure that if I had more cards of each level that it wouldn't affect the odds of them appearing in a pack.

When the new version comes out, will it be easy to transfer everything over, or will I have to start from scratch?

A few more questions...

1) How do I give out UC cards? I assume it's something in phpMyAdmin since there's no option for it in the AdminCP.
2) The card catalog (both overall and your own cards) are displayed in order in which they were added to the database; in my case, cards were not added in order of strength so the list is random and kind of confusing. Is there any way to organize the catalog by card level (level 10's at the top, 1's at the bottom of the page)?
3) Is there a way to delete pending match challenges via phpMyAdmin? Since I'm using 3.6 and the updated version provided by someone else, there's a MySQL error when you try and do a lot of match/trade editing or deletion in the AdminCP. Also, does the hack automatically remove a pending match if the challenge is not accepted within a certain timeframe?
4) When selling back cards, the error "
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /home/*********/public_html/pwdiscussion/triad_cards.php(245) : eval()'d code on line 1" is received. This didn't happen at first, it only started happening within the last day and I haven't touched any of the files or anything...


http://www.pwdiscussion.com/triad_main.php is my implementation of the game if anyone wants to check it out.

Is this hack compatible with version 3.6.7 ?

its currently in development.

it will be for vb3.6.* I plan for it to be ready by mid-june if not sooner.

UC cards were an afterthought, and I dont plan to include them in the new version. Maybe as an addon. We will be offering deck building and purchasing systems though, should anyone want decks outside of the classic default. more on this later.

Deleting matches via PHPMyAdmin is not recommended, because there are cards which need to be returned to their owners as well. Any SQL errors are from the porter of the current 3.6 version. The new version will have expiry times for most actions, including making a move during a match.

I am not aiming for the new version to allow conversion with the old version, but I may look into it as an addon at a later point.

Is there an integrated points system in Triad³?

not exactly. i will also be releasing a points script for vb3.7.* which will be automatically integrated with Triad³, although it will still maintain the global integration ability with whatever third party points system you may have (pretty much exactly like it did before, with a little bit of extension). But it wont come bundled with one, no.

Any news on Triad³?

work with my employer kind of took over due to some problems that cropped up :-p

however i havent forgotten or stopped working on triad, so dont worry

Ok, take your time. :)

No! dont say that! Then i might perceive a lack of interest and say, go on vacation instead of work on triad :-p and even i wouldnt rather do that!

Keep up the good work! We believe in you! YAR!

I am unsure if I am allowed to send a mass email update through vbtripletriad about this, but I will post it here:

As I am working on the new version of triple triad, Triad?, you will still be needing an external points hack in place. I have however, just completed one which will be automatically integrated with the new version of triple triad. If you would like to start using it early so your users can begin building up points for use, you can download it free over here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hreadid=151924 called vBCredits :) for vb3.6.x

Oj aj still nothing here :(

Darkwaltz4 is working on vbCredits. :(
Darkwaltz4, don't forget of us, please! Let's start to work on Triad?! http://www.ffgarden.it/forum/images/...lie%20(57).gif

:(
many people waiting for this, You promised !
:P

we have forum setup for Triad3 on our site, From screenshots I've seen, its looking really good, Dark is working on an IBP addon triad is coming down the pipe but is still quite a bit of programming, neither of us have forgotten you guys.

Update: I've posted Teaser screenshots for Triad3 for those interested.

:) you guys are totally not forgotten, Triad? is my baby hack and i wouldnt want to release it until it is everything that i have envisioned it to be :) I am trying to boost my integrity as well as earn something on the side as these things take time. http://www.vbcredits.com will have Triad? installed as it is finished.

Also, are any of you good designers? Ive been looking for a decent set of NEW ff8 cards, and like 3 people have vanished about a quarter through making them. IF you get me a set you will forever be immortalized (and linked to!) in every triple triad installation that uses them (which presumably is a lot considering they will become the new default deck)

Is there any patch available so that we can use this until then new version?
I'd really like to use this since my site is Final Fantasy/Square Enix/RPG oriented.

I would also be interested :)

Its on our list of things to do .. :D I've posted screenshots on our site .. for those wanting to see how triad3 is coming along. Dark and I will post official news once we have things more stable :D

Looking forward to this!

I haven't given up hope on such an awesome hack. Not dead yet!

We posted some teaser shots of the new triad3, till we're ready for release. Dark and I have a lot planned for this mod, however we're trying to get vbcredits v1.4 out first, then we'll see about finishing this. :D as we need vbc done first for triad3...
http://www.vbcredits.com/forum/showt...?p=158#post158

we'll post more information about the release and or testing of this system and or demos, once they are ready. Sorry for the delay on this.

okay.... but can you at least post a patch so we can use the old version until then like everyone keeps asking? thanks.

there is a 3.5 port in this thread. it can be installed on 3.6, and i will not help with use of the port, sorry

the 3.6 version is called Triad³, and its going to be a 100% rewrite, the only things that will remain is the board will still be 9 spaces. everything else - totally new. which is why i dont want to make a true patch to 3.6, because it will pale in comparison to Triad³, and I dont want it to have to compete with its comparably weak predecessor

Okay well when Traid3 comes out will we have to do a fresh install.. Or will there be an upgrader to upgrade from this version?

yes, there will be a converter for inventories, probably not much else due to radically different storage formats
