Not too crazy about the individual fighter pics (See below). The cellotaped polaroids look really cheezy. Why not use trading card frames instead.

You can change them using the skinning controls. Then share your "cap skin" with us all...

I'd need a truly simple step-by-step instruction guide focused on that one job to do that.

You can also go to the classic view at the moment. I like the Boxing card idea and might give that a shot. It would be my first try, so it may take some doing.

kudos for getting this out Paul and whoever else. I am sticking with 2.5 as it meets my needs just fine but I wanted to voice a "good job" for coming thru with the release. Now hopefully the work continues onto the true v.3

So easy a 5 year old child could do it! (If he knew where to find it)

Send for a 5 year old child, I can't make head or tail out of it. (With apologies to Groucho)

In my present state I need something a monkey could do!

My fascination is not with the tools and how they function but in the imagining and creation of design and graphics.

Ok just in case you're on a mac - command line arguments on them are a little 'odd' ... I found it worked fine if you make a shell script and then put the command in there to launch the game with them:

Extracting Skin script (extract.sh)

Code:

open tbcb.app --args --extractskin

Packing Skin script (pack.sh)

Code:

open tbcb.app --args --packskin

The image you're talking about changing is called "Picture Overlay.png" and is 220x224 in dimensions (if you PM me an email I'll happily email it to you so you can see it if you want).

If you want to throw me the image you want to replace it with I can package up the custom skin and see if I can get it working (if so PM me) - should just be a size and replace job really (only tricky bit will be ensuring the 'card' area where the player appears overlays where the photo representation appears presently).

Mates ...

I'm frustrated in not being able to crack the login, so I can download the Game ... I'm going in a circle ... I've already registered with PISD ... and said try again ... same old screen ... what am I doing wrong here ... how to download the Game ... it won't let me logged in with Account Login

Hey Tomas, are you cutting and pasting your password from the email PISD sends you? That is one sure way.

Click the link in the email, enter your user name as indicated in the email and then copy and paste the password.

Let me know.

Marc Vaughan · 05-20-2013, 10:13 PM

Have you tried clicking on the 'forgotten details' button and entering your email address? ...

I ask because I've occassionally messed up registering on various sites by doing things like mis-typing a password twice on the trot (ie. allowing me to register but not as I thought I had).

If not then please let me know your system setup and if I have something similar here I can test registering using it (or alternatively if you want I can try and register myself and then pass the username/account onto you so you can change the password and use it?).

Jabez54 · 05-20-2013, 10:19 PM

Mates ... I CAN"T get into Account Login ... where can I logged in there's nothing or showing me to input name and password ...

I'm trying them all!!!

If you do what Mark mentioned in the last post you should get an email with your user name and a password, plus a link to the PISD store.

You went through those steps and still nothing?

Jabez54 · 05-20-2013, 10:25 PM

YES ... LOL, pretty much all day ... I'm using windows 8, IE10 ...

Jabez54 · 05-20-2013, 10:27 PM

I see "Buy 2 Licenses"

Click

"Account Login"

Click

Same view as have shown you ... nada ...

Going around and around ...

Lee · 05-20-2013, 10:30 PM

I sent you a PM, if purchased you should have gotten an email like the one I put in the PM and it should take you to a page that has your licenses on it.

Let me know

Do you have really tight security setup on your computer? (ie. cookies etc. turned off?) - just trying to think of something which might snarl the store up.

Do you get a dialog asking you to enter your password? If not then I think IE has got the wrong password stored for you. You can ask it to forget the stored password, however I use firefox so I cant direct you.

If you are still having trouble email me your account name to someone@pisd.co.uk and I will check your account it working.

I presume you've an image in mind to replace the polaroid one with? - if you PM me an email I can email you the existing one so you can see its dimensions and suchlike (if it helps) - otherwise if you have an image already and think you know how the transparency etc. is implement and where it should be then just send me your image and I'll try and put it into the game (my email is marc.vaughan@sigames.com) and create a new skin file containing that image placed in ...

I think it is this one (which I like a lot) with the picture in the trading card frame.
