Okay thank you, I'll go ahead and use the patch until then.
Any estimated release date for T3?

*edit*

When I installed it I got this error while importing the product:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /homepages/10/d202837675/htdocs/forgottenmem/forums/admincp/plugin.php(1970) : eval()'d code on line 253

Is that mean it didn't install right?

*edit 2*

In the Admin CP -> Configure Game Settings
I get this error...

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM vbforums_triad_options;

MySQL Error : Table 'db205810329.vbforums_triad_options' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

Thanks forte, that fixed the problems I was having..
However when I imported the product it said:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /admincp/plugin.php(1970) : eval()'d code on line 244

But the admin cp links for Triple Triad are working now.

Feel free to use the port I made however you need or want. I really didn't change much more then fixing some of the variables and a few other things.

I haven't utilized it for a long time. I didn't carry it over when I upgraded to 3.6 and my hands are rather full with the email integration mod and a few other things.

If it'll help spring board you ahead Darkwaltz4, by all means, go for it

[Darkwaltz4]

:-p its getting entirely rewritten, i wont even be using my own files much (except for the images and my optimized rule checking functions - even the ai is getting rebuilt now that ive had some ai courses )

[Cyricx]

Rock on!! I look forward to seeing the finished product

[Foghorn Deadhor]

I've been waiting six months for this. Don't break my heart =(

[AllenSam]

Itried installing this on 3.6

And when i go run the install script i get this error

Initializing vBTripleTriad v2.7 Installer...
Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /home/faded/public_html/admincp/triad_install.php on line 38

And ican't find the CP menu.

[Darkwaltz4]

somewhere in this thread was a vb3.5 port of this hack. that port should work on 3.6, and possibly even 3.7 :-p

So...should we just go to that?

If you've given up on the project for the time being I understand, but the only reason I didn't install a port before was because I was expecting a new version and I didn't want to have to install it twice. If the port of the old hack is the best we can do for now, I'm ok with that, I just want to know
