dufflover Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Latest Version: v1.2.4 (29/07/2007) - My Pure Pazaak Homepage (with download links and screens) - Obsidian Board Thread New to Pure Pazaak? What is Pure Pazaak? Pure Pazaak is a fan made Pazaak clone made by me in VB6.0 (yeh I know...yuck). It's a standalone, multiplayer capable Pazaak game designed to as closely as possible mimic the original Pazaak while providing more flexibile game options and ofcourse some basic multiplayer capability. Main features of the project: - Play Pazaak without starting or even installing KotOR. - A configurable/flexible version of Pazaak in general - Network Play! (Human-Human play, via DirectIP) Some screenshots for you to preview the game . More screenshots in the screenshots link above. and also has a what I hope is a nice looking manual I created...eventually: Just some quick clarifications: - This is not a mod (in the normal sorta way). It is a fully standalone from KotOR, so no need to start it up or even have it installed. - All this stuff is copyright LucasArts, Bioware, Obsidian, (blah blah blah). My point is that the graphics and stuff are from the KotOR games themselves, not hand painted or anything like that but the have been some edits like the game backgrounds and stuff. - Network play is via Direct IP, so it will be hard to find players to have games without some sort of meeting place. Best you can do (and might not be too useful itself) is to join the IRC channel which someone created to act as a game lobby. See the manual for more info. - Like all the mods this is all an "amateur" project. I'm not a professional programmer or graphic designer or anything like that. Hope you have fun and enjoy the game. If you have any feedback, suggestions or bugs to report just post in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Maker Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 So I take it this is some online sort of game outside of TSL or Kotor where you play a real game of Pazzak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Kenobi Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Just wanted to say first off very kewl "unmod" I will admit something almost none have ever said I'm betting....What's Pazaak?...lol j/k but in all honesty I've never actually played in either KOTOR or TSL. I've just downloaded your game however and am wondering if you need to learn how to play in KOTOR I only? or if you can learn in TSL? The closest I've ever gotten to playing it is when Atton trains you to block your mind and I'm sure that doesn't count General Kenobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only new things in TSL which you have to learn about would be the new cards. Have you been to the "Rules" page of my site. It has a link which goes to a site describing the basic rules. Back to original question; learning how to play in KotOR 1 only is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Kenobi Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Thanks man I did the deed and installed your game and it's a hoot I'm def. gonna learn to play now that I have a kewl game to play with General Kenobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I was just playing it, and I noticed something that might not be right. First, the +/-1T card means that if you and your opponent score 20 but you play this then you win the tie, right? If I am right, then I played a -1T card when I had 21, and then my opponent (the computer) played a +1 to give him 20 as well. So I should have won, shouldn't I have?

It was going to be like that but then someone asked about it on the Obsidian boards (why it didn't work for him in the real game) and that's where I found out that it only applies if it's the final card played (by any player). So you played your Tie Breaker, then the computer played his +1, which means the Tie Breaker doesn't apply - yeh, I know, it's kinda strict but it's supposed to be close as possible. I've tried to confirm this myself but I can never seem to get a case to do it in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dufflover Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 Version 1.0.1 is ready to download. Here's the Pure Pazaak page URL again: http://www.k0m3k.htmlz.net/pazaak/ v1.0.1 ====== - AI now knows how to use the Special K2 cards - Re-added deck card dragging (doesn't work if you drag by the # label) - Slightly increased the game speed - Fixed incorrect cards with Sol'aa - Removed a VB Control dependency (NOT the comctl32.ocx one) - Remade the Campaign screen, added new opponent(s), existing ones unchanged. - Dimmed cards are now manually dimmed rather than dimmed pictures - Portraits now loaded only when needed (loading delay has been "moved") - You now start with 1/4 of your highscore in Arcade (or 100 credits) - Main menu now also reports your highscore - Made sure the program wouldn't crash with too many credits (max is 2,000,000,000) - AI is more compromising but may cause some unexpected "stupid" behaviour loop-hole. Just as a little warning; it's 2:00am for me now so there's a chance something stupid has skipped past me and into the program - although it played fine for me. So anyway, howz the netplay side of it going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediWatchman Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yeah I just downloaded that update and it's not working. When I unzipped it, I doubleclicked the icon and it gives me this error message: Could not find file 'pzkdata.dat' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOssusKeeper Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 hehehe i just thought this was a mod for the game i just downloaded it, but haven't played it yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yeah I just downloaded that update and it's not working. When I unzipped it, I doubleclicked the icon and it gives me this error message: Could not find file 'pzkdata.dat' I believe you have to extract all of the contents of the compressed file into a new folder so it can find all of its components.

Aiden Star Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 WOW I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I clocked over 200 hours in Kotor 1 by playing so much Pazaak! Now I can keep playing...woooooooot \o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I unzipped it, I doubleclicked the icon and it gives me this error message: Could not find file 'pzkdata.dat' Sounds like you only downloaded the v1.0.3 Update and not the rest of the files, or you've only extracted the EXE without everything else. Download and extract v1.0.2, then get the v1.0.3 Update and overwrite the v1.0.2 EXE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dufflover Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Another update: v1.0.4 The good news is that all the bugs fixed here were there all along and not newly introduced ones. - Feature: Double-click a portrait to temporarily hide it - Fix: Clicking the highscore tag in Arcade now correctly wagers the difference - Fix: Card Screen temporary variables bugs - Fix: Flip labels in-game now disappear properly when all relevant cards are used - Fix: Delayed the Bust message so it wouldn't garble the "play deck card" Sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
