I can not get the new cards to show.. . I even compleatly deleted the app, downloaded 1.03 from the website, then insatlled the .dat file and still no return cards

EDIT

You need to go to the FRENCH part of the site for the update, it is stll the old version on the english page

Hello,

@booored : The web site links are correct (I always check them after updating the web site).

But some web browsers do not detect the update of a new page if you already visited it.

If you don't see the new version when it is announced, just press F5 to force your web browser to load the new page

Firefox has not such problems...

Cheers,

Zorbec

 Is there any chance of a mac version? Is it programmed in Java? 

Looks really good, this application, and I'd love to use it on my mac... 

This is a great piece of work, thanks for all the hard work.

I'm really looking forward to the Khazad Dum update as I'd really like to store all my new Dwarf decks using this software. Any idea when you might be releasing this?

As stated earlier, there is no chance to have a Mac version for the moment. I don't have the hardware and software for this.

It is programmed with an old version of Delphi. The last version of Delphi supports MacOS in some way, but it's still young and I don't own it (neither a Mac itself, which is required).

Yet, you can run it with Crossover or any other Windows emulator, some other people did that successfully.

Thank you for the compliment.

I am working on the KD update now. I should receive my pack later this week and I hope to get the french version before the week-end.

There are many cards to add, scan, check and re-check (and not much spare time for it), so it will take me a little more time to finish. I will probably release the new version next week.

Cheers,

Zorbec

Hm. How complex is the source code or how huge is the project, respectively? I can try to rewrite in ObjC for MacOS only, if you have any interest in such a cooperation. I can use Java as well, making it multi-platform-operational... 

This, however, depends on the size of the project and how many hours of my spare time I can use for it...

ichaos1985 said:

Thank you for the proposition, but it would be a really big job to convert the source code in ObjC or Java.

The project is a little less than 70000 lines of code and uses graphical and reporting components that will not be necessarily available in other languages. So, I don't think it's worth the effort for the moment.

Cheers,

Hello,

Here is a new version of the LOTR LCG DeckBuilder for Windows, coming from the deeps of Khazad-dûm.

Here is the list of new things:

• Added cards of the Khazad-dûm deluxe expansion (english & french).
• Added FAQ indicators to the scenarios and quests list.
• Improvement of card lists refresh times.

Many thanks to Drew of www.cardgamedb.com for the english previews.

Comments, suggestions (and kudos ) are welcome !

Have fun in the deeps !

Zorbec
 

May I be the first to grant you much kudos.

Yeah, thanks for continuously working on your Deck Builder!

this is the best ever!! wish the coc one was using the same interface.. but still .. all sorts of awesome.

1 suggestion though.... .. . It would be cool to be able to remove a card from the deck form IN the deck list.. Like you can click 1,2,3 to add the card, but would be cool if you could remove the card as well from that same screen. Not a big UI issue.. but would be a nice feature..

Also, are there any plans to include the encounter cards? I know "deck building" doesn't come into it.. though I think it would be cool for custom quests.. but then the app will cover the entire game from start to finish, and we would not have to use internet sources to look up cards and stuff.

 The encounter cards are included. You need to click on the encounter card image on the side window.

I can only see the quest cards... not the cards in each encounter set

There's a little separate window that says "LOTR LCG Deck Builder by Zorbec" on the top left, and it has a card image for an encounter card, a quest card, a player card, and other icons.  You need to click on the encounter card in that window, and that will (or should) bring up all of the encounter cards.
