actually, i have an official 3.6/7 port almost done :-p only took a couple hours, but fixing up a bug before release tonight/tomorrow. you can see it installed on vbcredits.com (stadium disabled until bug fixed, sorry)

if you happen to have old tables still on your server, it shouldnt delete them, so "upgrading" would be a matter over overwrites and stuff.

if you are using the 3.5 port, im not sure if anything structurally was changed, so cant vouch for compatibility there. at least not immediately.

again, simply a port, nothing new added at all. nothing you would notice of course. this is NOT Triad? whatsoever, in fact i specifically restrained myself from updating the code in any way outside of changing function names etc to work with 3.6/7 :-p

So is Triad3 still coming along? That's all I want to know really, I'd rather install the new thing right off but if Triad3 is on hold indefinitely I'll install the old thing.

[Darkwaltz4]

its on hold, but not indefinately.

also, vbtripletriad is officially running and open to play on vbcredits.com just fixing it up for easy install and then release. (remember, only a port for now!!)

Hey Darkwaltz, when are you planning on releasing the 3.7 port? I run my own Final Fantasy forums and would love to use this hack. Thanks for the work!

[Darkwaltz4]

it is available from vbcredits.com right now, the vb3.6 port should work fine on vb3.7, but im fixing a couple bugs before i release it here for vb3.7

[ramsayeg]

Sounds cool. If there are any big bugs I guess I'll wait 'till you release it for 3.7. Thanks for the work!

[Amiga Harrison]

How come you haven't updated this mod's entry on vB.org to the newer 2.8 version? That way everyone would be able to quickly know that there is a version that works with vB3.6/3.7.

[Darkwaltz4]

:-p because i am fixing up the bugs reported from the users on my site, and that will be the version i officially announce. its actually done, just havent gotten around to revising the description and making pages and such for it
