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.

[Pacman15]

I would also be interested

[PixelFx]

Its on our list of things to do .. 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

[Oz_Berserk]

Looking forward to this!

[Shin Shin]

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

[PixelFx]

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. 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.

[koby411]

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

[Darkwaltz4]

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

[koby411]

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?

[Darkwaltz4]

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