    • Managing Triple Triad Sets

      Triple Triad gives you the ability to create multiple sets to expand gameplay beyond the default content supplied. When it comes to adding sets you have two options available to you:
      1. Manually Creating a Set
      2. Importing a Set


      In this section we'll cover manually creating a set and other set management options available to you. To begin with you can view your existing sets by visiting "Manage Sets" under the Triple Triad menu within your Admin CP. It should look something like this:



      If you want to create a set, simply press "Add" and you will be brought to the Create Set form where you can fill out details on your new set as shown below.



      Set Title
      The set title is self-explanatory, it will be the name assigned to this Set.

      Use Elements
      One of the stock rules within Triple Triad is Elemental, but custom sets may not have elements assigned, so you have the option of disabling elements for the set you are creating, which means the Elemental rule cannot be used in any battle for this set.

      Set Folder Location
      Triple Triad has a structure for containing images relative to a set, you can find the primary folder within: ./dbtech/tripletriad/packs/
      Within this folder you should already see one named "final_fantasy_viii", this is the default content that is supplied. Using this as an example, we'd enter "final_fantasy_viii" into the Set Folder Location option which means content under that directory is relative to that set.

      Additionally the set folder should contain several folders and images otherwise content may appear missing/broken for the set in question. As a reference, here is the structure:

      Note: All images with exception to cards and elements should retain the same file extension and dimensions as the Final Fantasy VIII set contains.


      dbtech/

      tripletriad/

      lite.png (This is the graphic shown to highlight cards when they are flipped due to a special rule)
      card_blue/

      This folder should contain all of your blue card images, with dimensions of 105x130
      card_red/

      This folder should contain all of your red card images, with dimensions of 105x130
      card_events/ (This folder contains images shown when special rules occur in battles)

      rule_combo.png
      rule_draw.png

      card_scores/

      Contains a range of files named score_1.png to score_9.png, these are used for displaying scores in battles
      card_elements

      This folder should contain your elemental images if you wish to use any
