-The cardback that is included in vBTripleTriad was selected by my forum in a large contest. If you do not like it, you can CLICK HERE to download the original. Edit it to 105x130 pixels, rename to 'backcard.gif', and upload it to images/triad.

As there were limits for uploading, i had to split off some of the images...
take this, and put the resulting images (in the bluecards folder) and put it in images/triad (along with the redcards folder)

Edit: I've uploaded the zipped SCREENSHOTS, including some that are not posted above, in this post...

Hey, thanks for releasing this hack, I was searching for this one.
Will this hack work if I install it on my vB 3.0.7 (soon 3.0.8) forum? Cause I see you don't have to edit many files...

[MUDERCOOL]

if it's suitable for 3.0.7 I will install and need some more info about this game, also some screenies would be cool

[Darkwaltz4]

i dont see why it shouldnt work for the newest stuff. its very non-invasive for the most part.

screenshots are for people who dont know what triple triad is

but ill see about it for tonight

I've donated $15 towards your license renewal..

Looking forward to seeing future developments of this, I love Triple Triad.

I get this when going to the stadium entrance:

Invalid SQL: SELECT triad_user.*,PF_TABLE.PF_COLUMN AS points FROM triad_user LEFT JOIN PF_TABLE ON PF_TABLE.userid=triad_user.userid WHERE triad_user.userid=1
mysql error: Table 'mysite_forum.PF_TABLE' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

I think that you need to fix the table prefix problem. I have no table prefix added to my forums, yet it seems to be looking for one.

Also- I only think you have half of the navbar code there.


Once we can get this going, this site: http://www.tripletriad.net/
offers some good alternative decks, too.

Here's the original card back, enjoy..
