i have a month off, and 2 years of new experience under my belt (including new technologies!) if this means anything :-p

DS MrSinister · #**223** 01-14-2007, 11:19 PM

looks good.. been waiting for the next version...

Apathy · #**224** 01-26-2007, 05:01 AM

I tried to install this hack on to a 3.0.8 forum but I could not install the simple point system Waltz posted because my SQL thing didn't recognize the commands in the query or something... And if I try to install it on a 3.5 forum I just get error after error, even after reading all through this thread and the fixes people made.

Could someone either translate the simple point system Waltz created to work with more modern SQL databases, or assist me in making this hack work with 3.5?

Scharesoft · #**225** 02-17-2007, 05:21 PM

Is it possible that you make some little updates of this hack with these new features you allready build? E.g. your new cardlist would be a great expansion.

Darkwaltz4 · #**226** 02-19-2007, 04:55 PM

not really because its being redone from the ground up, including the design, as I gave a little taste of. I'm even redoing the AI to make it even better. Just don't tell my artificial intelligence professor that the final project I'm submitting was, for the most part, done 3 years ago

PixelFx · #**227** 02-19-2007, 06:07 PM

Looking forward to release

I already have RPG Inferno but a lot of my member just want to play Triple Triad without having to mess with the whole RPG System.

I'm really waiting for this one.

Amiga Harrison · #**229** 02-27-2007, 01:34 PM

It is great news that you are working on an updated version. Any idea on a rough release date for the new version?

I've wanted to install this on my forum for some time, but as I am running 3.6.4 I wanted to wait for a proper updated version that directly supports the current version of vB.

Darkwaltz4 · #**230** 02-27-2007, 03:58 PM

No release dates as of this time. I'm very bad at keeping them and I'd rather you all be excited when its unexpectedly done, as opposed to annoyed when its ungodly late

solinarius · #**231** 03-03-2007, 11:32 AM

Awsome mod.
I have iea that some users should make a small donate, to give you a reason to finish this/ make that compatybile with 3.6.5?
I really waiting for this mod, that was one of reason to buy a vb license

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