The ChipTalk Design PokerStars Chips Contest

[Seitz333]

Hi All,

I came up with the idea of letting the ChipTalk community design chips for the PokerStars client. I have created a few sets in the past and thought it might be fun. I will start a new thread for each demon (18 in all) and let members create their designs using The Poker Chip Factory. I will give 5 days for designs to be submitted (1 per member, per denom). We will then have a random heads up voting poll that will be open for 2 days. Once the first 2 chips are decided I will then post a new thread for the next chips.

Default PokerStars


Here are the other sets I have done:

Blue Ridge


Blue Ridge V2


WSOP


Protege's


Lady Luck


ChipTalk


FYI these are the chips denoms that will be needed:

1¢ - Seitz333
5¢ - pug_in_chip
25¢ - meatboy
1 - KingMedicine
5 - pug_in_chip
25 - Seitz333
100 - pug_in_chip
500 - Seitz333
1k - meatboy
5k - KevinMeag
25k - meatboy
100k -stinky
500k - Seitz333
1m - pug_in_chip
5m - meatboy
25m - Seitz333
100m - pug_in_chip
500m - pug_in_chip

TenPerceter has offered the following choice of prize to the member who designs the most chips that make it into the final set.

Being a 1 year Premium Supporter OR 50 Classified credits.

I will update this OP with the final selected chips.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Final Set:




You can download all of the sets here: http://www.seitz333.com/Seitz333Chips.zip

Install Instructions:

Method 1

1. Unzip Seitz333Chips.zip into the following PokerStars directory on your computer:

C:\...\PokerStars\gx

You should now have a directory that looks like this:

C:\...\PokerStars\gx\Seitz333chips

2. Inside the 'C:\...\PokerStars\gx\Seitz333chips' directory you will see several folders, these are the
different chip sets. You will also see the related .ini files for each set.Select a set you would like to use, for this example we will use the BlueRidgeV2 set.

COPY the BlueRidgeV2gx.ini file to the 'C:\...\PokerStars\themes\&default' directory.

3. Open the 'C:\...\PokerStars\themes\&default' directory, you will see 2 files gx.ini and the new file you
just put there (BlueRidgeV2gx.ini).

RENAME the gx.ini file to gxOLD.ini

4. RENAME the BlueRidgeV2gx.ini file to gx.ini

Done!

Notes:
- Do not have the PokerStars Client running when you install the mod or while renaming the files.

- When starting the PokerStars Client you must use the PokerStars.exe executable. If you use the default
PokerStarsUpdate.exe executable you will get a notice there is a new version of the client available. If you
download the update it will overwrite the modified gx.ini file and the mod will not work.

From time to time even using the PokerStars.exe executable PokerStars will force you to download an
updated version of the client. If that happens you will need to repeat steps 2-4 after installing the update.
There is a chance that when you download and install a new mandatory PokerStars update it will have
changed the encrypted gx.ini file, in which case the mod will not work. I do plan to update the gx.ini files
each time PokerStars makes a change to the file.

Method 2:

You can also use this method of installing the chips mod if you are not comfortable with using a modded encrypted gx.ini file:

I recommend extracting the downloaded files into your "My Documents" folder. Once you extract the zip files you will then copy and paste the "chips" folder for whichever mod you want into the following PokerStars folder:

C:\Program Files\PokerStars\gx\chips&deck\

C:\Program Files\PokerStars\themes\slick\base\chips&deck\

C:\Program Files\PokerStars\themes\tsn\base\chips&deck\

When launching PokerStars you will need to use PokerStars.exe instead of PokerStarsUpdate.exe . This is because when you use PokerStarsUpdate.exe the client checks with the server and you will get a message that you have an old version and it will download and install the new version with the standard chips. There will come a time when you will have to use PokerStarsUpdate.exe and it will overwrite the chips folder. When this happens simply copy and paste the "chips" folder again like you did in the steps above.

Oh, you got dat right. Actually, I'm surprised that there haven't been at least a dozen entries by now. There's still time, though.

+ for the hundo chip!

Not really a chip design contest though, more like a computer graphic design contest.
I'm still itching for a chip design contest. That last one for abcgiftsandawards was fun, even if they didn't come through fully with the promised prize of a production chip on their website.

We need to get a CT league going and play the games on Stars Home games.
