Hi!

A really great programe but i don´t unterstand how to implantate the pics. I followed your introduce but nothing happens. How i have to activate the .bat file?

Is it neccessary to reinstall the mainprograme or only to install the pics.bat file?

These image packs are features introduced with version 0.8.0. So yes, you should install the latest version of the Deck Builder first

Cheers !

GOOD JOB

Hello !

A new version 0.8.5 Beta is now available !

New things for this version are :

• Added menu to load last edited decks.
• Added deck checking.
• Added deck drawing simulator.
• Improvement of memory usage (much less!) and screens refresh speed (much quicker!).
• Bugs corrections.

Here is a quick description of the Deck screen top buttons (new options are in bold text) :

1. New deck (ask to save current one, if necessary)
2. Open a deck
3. Access to the last edited decks list for quick reload (will contain the deck search option later)
4. Save current deck
5. Save current deck as another file
6. Sort deck
7. Check deck validity
8. Card drawing simulator
9. Export the current deck in text or html formats
10. Print the current deck

There is no new cards into the database yet. I'm waiting for the first adventure pack...

Let me know if you like it, or if you find any bug or have any comment.

Cheers !

Hello,

A quick fix version 0.8.6 is now available.

It corrects two bugs, the first one being particularly nasty:

• Correction of saving bug when at least one hero is empty.
• Correction of total card count display of the player's cards screen while the statistics page is active.

Cheers !

Hello,

Is there anyone who can make scans of The Hunt for Gollum cards in english and send them to me for a quick update of the DeckBuilder ?

I will buy the french pack next week, but my english pack will take much more time to come...

Any help is welcome. Please answer by email at (replace # by @) : zorbec.lotr#free.fr

Cheers,

Hello,

A new version of the LOTR LCG DeckBuilder for Windows is now available.

This version 0.9.0 is probably the last Beta, most of the features being implemented and stabilized.

Here are the news:

• Added cards of The Hunt for Gollum adventure pack.
• Added first published cards of next adventures packs.
• Added errata from FAQ 1.1.
• Added the deck finder/import tool.
• Added uniqueness filter to encounter cards.
• Correction of progress screens aspect.
• Several corrections applied to filters.

I am still waiting for my The Hunt for Gollum adventure pack in english to arrive home.
That's why the english image pack is not complete yet. If you can provide some scans of the english packs, do not hesitate to send me an email. Any help is welcome !

I will now give you some details about the new deck Finder/Import tool.
This screen permits to search your decks depending on their contents, then open one found deck or copy part of it into the current deck.
 

To open this screen, click on the history & finder button as shown below:

Then, click on the Find a Deck... option, as shown below:

The Deck Finder screen opens, as shown below:

• First, you should select the base folder where you store your deck files. To do this, click on the button on the left of the "Search from" path display.
• Next, you can define up to 4 search criteria which can be a hero card, a deck card, a word or sentence in the deck's notes or any text in the information fields of the deck.
• Then, press the "Search" button to find the corresponding decks. If no criteria are selected, all decks will be checked and listed.
• The "Results" button only appears after a first search run with at least one deck found to bring you back to the previously found decks.
  If you exit the Deck Finder and come back to it, it will keep the results of the previous search (but not if you exit from the DeckBuilder itself).

The Results display is shown below:

• The list on the left shows the found decks. Select one to display its contents on the right part of the screen.
• The list on the right shows all informations, heroes, deck cards, scratchpad cards and notes of the deck. If you select a line with a card, the card is displayed the usual ways, like other screens.
• You can stop the search by clicking a button not shown here.
• The "Open deck" button will try to open the selected deck into the DeckBuilder and close the Deck Finder. If a modified deck is already open, the software will ask you what to do.
• If you want to take only part of the selected deck, you can use the copy buttons for general informations, notes and complete heroes or deck cards contents. The positions/quantities buttons are also available for heroes/deck cards to make a partial import of data.

Be carefull with the partial import features : it does not ask anything if you had a modified deck already open.

I hope you'll find the DeckBuilder useful. Do not hesitate to drop a comment or suggestion.

Have fun !

Zorbec
 

Hello,

I am pleased to announce that the DeckBuilder version 1.0.0 is now available !

The program is now stable, so there is no need to continue the Beta phase

Many thanks to Drew of www.cardgamedb.com and to Jon, author of the Lackey plugin, for the english scans of the latest extensions.

The new features are:

• Added cards of Conflict at the Carrock adventure pack (english & french).
• Added cards of the GenCon scenario Massing at Osgiliath (english only).
• Added first published cards of next adventures packs.
• Redesign of the Scenarios/Quest screen with foldable scenarios contents.
• Added experimental deck export format for Lackey.
• Correction of minor bugs.

The image packs are updated and available on the download page, as usual.

Have fun and let me know if you find it useful.

Cheers,

Zorbec

Thanks Nyarlazorbec. I was hoping for something like this. 

Great work Nyarlazorbec!

Now you should make someone an android version... hehehehe...

Thanks a lot!

Good to see your program updated. Thanks for it!

 This is great! Thanks very much!

Any chance of getting the ability to sort/filter by set? For instance, I don't have Osgiliath, so i do not want to see cards from that expansion. 

Thank you, all, for the nice comments

You have that in the Filters and Sort pages of the encounter screen. The point is that the filters setting is not persistent between two DeckBuilder sessions, but sort orders are. Tell me if you need some help.

Cheers,

I have just started trying to figure it out, and I didn't see an encounter screen (or at least did not recognize it). How would I find the place to select which sets are included? 

AmAvocet said:

Yeah, I was thinking about this as well; Is there a way to tell the tool what you actually OWN in your own collection? To sort of filter and set the bar for how many cards you can add etc. ?
