i am thinking of installing cyrix's version for myself and fixing up the errors everyone has had and creating a converter for him, and then posting that as a placeholder in the vb3.5 forum. already i dont like version 2.7 of the hack, and i wont release 2.8 until i have a few more features put up in it. but for the sake of people using this i wouldnt mind putting up the port.

so, before i do that, i need to know concisely what all the problems have been, and the brief look ive had at forte's site, seems to have it okay (but i didnt like the sidebar always there but i suppose there was an issue which he had an easier time doing that!)

so, forte, list what those few edits were for me :-p and ill fix it up for everyone

Well since the forums im on is still running 3.0.9, I will install this.

Question what makes this mod stand out vs the one included in RPG Inferno? Just wondering if even I have the RPG, if I should disable triad and use this one. Or if the intergrated triad is better?

Otherwise, for now still installing this, once it works, Ill click install. =)

forte · #**204** 07-13-2006, 04:36 PM

I think the one in RPG inferno only have 2 rules for the game, but I'm not sure since I didn't bought it.

Darkwaltz4 · #**205** 07-13-2006, 10:57 PM

one thing i do NOT like about the cyrix port, is the added usergroup permission thing...its something i deliberately left that way. to be honest, as a way for me to look at how well other people were implementing the hack :-p now i cant without registering everywhere. also so i could go look at the users site if they had problems, and could usually skip the registering part to see the error

forte · #**206** 07-14-2006, 05:13 AM

Actually it'll be the same since if the problem is in the battle, then you'll need an account to buy some cards, right? Anyway, just do what the other hackers do, tell them to make you a test account which you can use.

Mysticales · #**207** 07-24-2006, 07:08 AM

Hey odd issue on 3.0x my users are having. If someone "Declines" a challenge. The challenger seems to lose their submitted cards? Anyone have a idea about this?

Darkwaltz4 · #**208** 07-24-2006, 07:23 AM

well they lose the cards up until the other person makes a decision on the match, so that they dont sell them until then or something. the match is still probably just pending, so if you checked the admincp, you can cancel it to restore the cards. if thats not the case, feel free to pm me with access because this sort of thing has been thoroughly stamped out (logistics bugs)

lightwave · #**209** 07-31-2006, 06:47 PM

DarkWaltz, are you planning on releasing your updated version?

Darkwaltz4 · #**210** 08-01-2006, 04:03 AM

yes :-p and its really much better than the current version, its just not ready to me...cause i want to finish a few of the major additions to it

Scharesoft · #**211** 08-04-2006, 10:53 AM

Which new features you will add to the new version?

And is it compatible with vB 3.6?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
