Very deserving, I might add.

Thanks for your work.

 

[Highelfwarrior]

Damn, this is some brilliant stuff.

 

[HokieBT]

Is this more starwars-ish?  we'll probably name it pazaak in the star wars mod since that game was close enough to blackjack. 

 

[Jubal]

DEFNITELY adding this to southern Realms, well done!

 

[HokieBT]

This may be obvious to most people, but I'll mention it anyway, since I'd didn't think about doing it at first.  It is very easy to modify the code to add the ability to play Blackjack with all your troops, npc's, lords, etc.  An example of my code is below, but its modified slightly so don't cut-n-paste it exactly or they will call the game Pazaak in your mod.    I also made it so that when you play with a npc/lord/knight your relationship changes.  Here's a picture of me playing with Darth Vader.

EDIT: does anybody know if its possible to rotate the players a little bit so they are somewhat looking at each other?

 

[Servitor]

xD Zomg oolonglgx, This is freaking awesome. +2 Epic points for you.

 

[italiano]

Very interesting, but blackjack isn't poker .

 

[Sorkenlol]

Wow, awesome. Does it come with a blackjack tutorial? I have no idea how to play blackjack.

 

[k.]

That's nice, and can be add to every other mod.
Great job!

 

[Pode]

Wow, awesome. Does it come with a blackjack tutorial? I have no idea how to play blackjack.

Blackjack is sometimes called 21 because the point is to get your cards to total as close to 21 as possible without going over.  Face cards (kings, queens, and jacks) count as 10, aces can count as either 1 or 11 as the player chooses.  One card is dealt to each player facedown (so only he/she can see it), a second one face up.  A hit means you request another faceup card from the dealer, to stay means you want no further cards.  Once all players have stayed, the facedown cards are revealed and the player closest to 21 without going over wins the pot (the total of all players' bets).  Typically the house/dealer will stay on 17 or better as that's statistically the break-even point.
In HokieBTs first picture, the player has gotten the ideal hand of an ace and a 10, where the dealer has busted by going over 21.  In his second one Lord Vader has won even with a crappy hand as the player has busted.

Looks cool. Would be fun to be able to have a game of high stakes no limit hold em as well at some of the taverns in order to easily increase your money. Hey, the opponents might even be better than most human players anyway

 

[Fall of Denial]

I rape at pazzak. And congratulations on this mod! It's brilliant.

 

[X-Warrior-X]

Hey everyone, I've made a 21K minor game(Blackjack Poker) in M&B
It's a patch for native 1.0, just unzip all files to the folder of native to activate it.

patch and source download link (Dec 11, 2008 update):
https://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?cid=8&id=1001
Search "#plus" in module_dialogs.py, module_mission_templates.py,  module_scripts.py, module_meshes.py and module_presentations.py can be able to find the new source code.
 
Thanks Alixyang and SantasHelper to upload  

​

Dec 11, 2008. There is a mistake to be corrected:
open the module_presentations.py and search"(gt, reg54, reg53),":
  ......
  (gt,reg55,21),
  (try_begin),
      (le,reg55,21),
      (gt,reg54,reg53),
      (assign,":win",1),
  ......
The second reg55 must be changed to reg53(banker's points), that is:
  ......
  (gt,reg55,21),#player's points(A=11) more than 21
  (try_begin),
      (le,reg53,21),#banker's points(A=11) less than or equal to 21
      (gt,reg54,reg53),#player's points(A=1) more than banker's points(A=11)
      (assign,":win",1),#player win
  ......

 

At first, thanks the all-mighty Max.Pain

, who helped me translate this from chinese to english.

Main feature:


The game's rule is based on the classic rule of Blackjack, player can Hit, Stand and Double down, but no splitting or insurance. Speak to any travern holder to play.

Attention: Do not bring up game menus with hotkey such as Q or C, or you might not be able to see some cards or buttons and cannot continue after you return. If you still see "talk to Traven holder" after the game has begun, just move your character a little with WASD and it will disappear.

Screenshots in the game:

One set of poker with M&B character patterns on it, replace the blackjack_poker.dds in Textures folder of the patch to use it.

May all-mighty Armagan forgive me for using his photo

OMFG...DOUBLE INTERVENTION TIME, M&B INTERVENTION AND GAMBLING INTERVENTION...W00T !! TWICE THE INTERVENTION TWICE THE AFTERMATH SEX !!

 

[HokieBT]

X-Warrior-X - there's really no need to quote the entire first post, in my opinion it just clutters up the forum, etc.

Anyway, Gohda created some new pazaak cards for the star wars mod, does anybody know where in the code I can modify it to spread the cards out a bit so they don't overlap?



EDIT:  nevermind, I found three occurrences of

(val_add,":x_p",60),

and switched it to

(val_add,":x_p",90),

and it worked well for these new cards.

 

[HokieBT]

Has anybody had a problem with the math being wrong?  I Lost the following hand, but I should have Won ?  I'm wondering if its a bug in the native code, or if I messed it up somehow with a few very minor changes I made (graphics, text, spacing of the cards, etc)



EDIT:  Warcat92 posted the following in my mod's forum:

I think the problem with the 1/11 card is that whenever it's the player's first card it only has a value of 1. It works fine everywhere else for me.

 

[Septa Scarabae]

Very cool. Well done.

what's the 4th card ? I got 19+ ?, so I can't really tell if you lost or won
(I'm talkig about that yellow card, no idea what it is)

it's an ace, can be worth 1 or 11, whatever suits you best

 

[fnordcircle]

Both hands equal 21 so tie goes to the dealer.  Blackjack trumps 21, though.  Or at least it should, I haven't played with this mod yet.

 

[Pode]

Both hands equal 21

Sure about that?
