Finally got the mods to work but having the same problem as "Kisirong2501". Same old background and old numbers for me, the rest works...A restart didnt resolve this problem for me either. Hope a solution will be found soon.

Check the image files that aren't showing up in Photoshop and if the layers show Background (locked) then right click it and click 'Layer from background" so that it just says Layer 0. Save the file and try again. If they are already 'Layer 0' then it may be a Tonberry issue which I will look into.

I'm not even sure if i understand what you're telling me here to do (i dont even have photoshop) and something very weird just happened. Without having to restart the game or anything the new background and numbers popped up but only once. After i won i went for another card game match, and back to old background and old numbers. I was so excited to see it work just once, but what could the problem be? What could cause it to work one time and not the other? I didnt even exit the game or anything, really weird.

PS: If it helps, i'm using Windows 32bit and couldnt even get any mods to work prior to Tonberry 1.4.

Edit: It worked again, that's weird, seems to be working now, let's see how long it will stay that way.

However, this error occured a few times:

Seems to be a mix of both, how the heck could that happen? Well anyway, maybe by pointing out this error, the modders will gain more insight and knowledge and hopefully can fix or avoid similar bugs in the future. You guys doing great and im really happy that the mods are finally working for me and very grateful despite the few bugs here and there. Rock on guys ;)

I'm pretty sure that after we had that last formatting issue, I went through every image file and ensured that they were in the proper format - so all current releases shouldn't have any weird background locked mode issues anymore.  I even get the 1/3 screen issue every now and then... and when it happens, it stays that way until you restart the game... and sometimes it happens on the new title screen as well.  Pretty sure it's a hashing problem, but I'm here to assist in any way!
 
Ok, thanks for the clarification! It is definitely a Tonberry problem. I will try to work on it for the next release.
 
Hey Thanks for your hard work, I really like this mod, the borders of the cards in the menu are not all alligned the same will this be fixed in the future? Also when playing the game itself I find the borders of the cards low res compared to everything else do you plan on updating them in the future? Thanks again

EDIT: Also I found that when choosing cards during a game or simple moving the cursor up and down at certain points, the background card map will flicker/change shape slightly in certain areas. some parts of the card map will get thinner while others get thicker.

The alignment issue is something I've done minor fixes to already in the Menu, but I will be coming out with a hi-res version of Tripod in the future, with hi-res borders, fancy text, and more modern icons -- but that won't be for a while now :)

I'm not sure what you mean by the background flickering. You'll have to post a screenshot or video clip - I can't seem to re-create it.  also - are you playing on a non-english version of the game?
 
How much to make a high res next release with all cool features you mentioned within the month ;)

I've actually made 8 dollars from donations in the past month, which surprised the hell out of me! (THANKS GUYS! :D)  I think I spent over 100 hours on the Tripod mod - and right now, I'm in a tight spot without much time.  Between not having enough work this summer and my car dying, I'm broke and without a vehicle, and have to prioritize my time.

However, my channel will be updated regularly and I will have new tidbits and fun things coming around the corner!

Hi everyone!

I really like this mod, but I always thought the borders look very blurry while the original borders looked very filigree.

So I tried to make borders (and backgrounds) myself (except for quistis borders, the decoration shape is from  deviantart, may have to change it because of licencing etc...), please tell me if you like them :)

Thanks!  I love your borders! We should work together to get them into the game. 

Just a few issues to consider:
1- The Quistis border decoration will have to be replaced by something else (needs to be original art)
2- You should take into account the fact that the borders are stretched by the game when it imports them from the Mod. 
3- Tonberry only allows for 4x the original pixel resolution - and since that image is then stretched out, some of your details may be lost in the transition. (such as fine line/edge detail and gradients)
4- I have no idea where the background hues are kept for Triple Triad, and they currently aren't moddable - but they are for the in-game menu.  Everything I dealt with for Triple Triad had a transparency associated with it.
5- Triple Triad and the in-menu cards are two separate mods essentially.  They would have to be independently modded if you want your borders to be implemented for the in-game card menu.

BTW -- I love the grey, green, blue, purple color scheme and would like to expand on it further.
 
I am really happy that you like them :D

To your issues:
1 - Yeah I thought so. I will replace them, shouldn't be much of a problem.
2 + 3 I created the borders with help of your images of this mod so resolutions should be alright. I experimented a bit with the stretching it looked okay when I resized it from rectangle to square and back
4 Background could be bit of a problem. I don't know if its possible, because the colored glow is a semi-transparent layer and not part of the background. I also couldn't find any background-image in the mod images - my hope was that you may know a solution  ;D
5 Yes I am aware of that. But as far as I understood it, we just don't have to use transperancies here, right? Or do you think we need another background-image?


I'll will change the decoration and then upload the psd-files (or any other format you need). Do you want them rectangular or cubic?^^

Unfortunately from what I've seen, Tonberry can't implement semi-transparent layers for Triple Triad unless they were originally intended to be that way - so I think you would have to remove the gradients for this to work.
Also - your background wouldn't work unless we could replace the original backgrounds (blue/pink) but considering we have no way of finding them currently, we should just stick with the originals.  They show your cards vs. your opponents, so having the different colored backgrounds is important - and would require the backgrounds to be 100% transparent.

After you fix #1, could you remove the semi-transparent color gradient layers and the background image entirely and just send me the PSD of the borders you have with a transparent background?  I don't need any characters - I can superimpose your borders over my own fairly easily, and I'd like to test them to see what they would look like in-game.  I would like to add your borders to my next Tripod release which will feature updated Text and Elemental Icons! It will be released as a "Tripod Deluxe Edition" release.  I would give you credit, of course :)

Cubic would be best - it would save me time resizing everything. Thanks!

I'm also considering doing the 4 translations for this mod like I am doing for the SeeD Reborn Project.  It should take considerably less time to make the Tripod Translation mod happen than it has for SeeD Reborn which has turned into a larger undertaking than I originally planned.

Hi all! I faced the same issue of Fullbuster (number and background doesn't change), it's normal? I don't see any new post about this problem so i don't know if it should be solved or no. Do you think it might depends on my Italian language version?

It might be because of your italian version, but I doubt it.  Try rebooting your comp (which restarts all directX and steam drivers) and let me know if the problem persists.  Sometimes, Tonberry will glitch and only provide the images and not the backgrounds/text for some reason.  Restarting DirectX and Steam entirely seems to do the trick for those people.  If your issue is because of the italian version, we'll have to address that soon.
 
Ok, trying other matches i've noticed that cards and number are loaded correctly, but the background are loaded only the half. Exploring the mod's directory i've noticed that basically only the file cardsback_13 is loaded, while the other named cardsback_1 no.
