Hello,

A NEW VERSION OF THE DECKBUILDER IS AVAILABLE !

Sorry, again, for the long delay. This was due to the very big update on the Call of Cthulhu version and FFG released many things in a very short time, so it is hard to follow…

This version does not include the first saga expansion "The Hobbit" yet. I still have a lot of work to include it.
That said, this version includes the other last packs and quite a few new, improved and corrected features. So I invite you to carefully read the following notes.

But first, I'd like to give a warm thank you to Orcmeal for his generous contribution

The list of new things:

• Added cards of the Shadow and Flame adventure pack (english & french).
• Added cards of The Battle of Lake-town scenario (english only).
• Added a zoom function on the card picture screen. You can use the zoom buttons located in the screen title bar or click once in the picture and use the mouse wheel to zoom or unzoom the picture. The zoom level is kept when you exit the DeckBuilder. Beware : zooming the picture slows down the picture display and the navigation in cards lists.
• Added deck card management using the keyboard into the following lists: player cards, deck cards, scratchpad.
  Select one of the above lists and press one of the following keys:
  0 (zero) -> Remove the card from the deck
  1, 2, 3 -> Add the card to the deck, with the selected quantity (or at the selected position for heroes)
  S -> Add the card to the scratchpad (does not work within the scratchpad itself)
  Note : to remove a card from the scratchpad, you still have to use the mouse.
• Additions and corrections to the extensions filters of player and encounter cards lists:
  - The filters' states are saved between two sessions of the DeckBuilder.
  - They are not changed by the global filter reset operation anymore, and they are the placed first in the filters pages.
  -The original grid is replaced by a treeview to enhance selection of sets by full cycle.
• Corrected the screens position restoration on multiple-screens configuration.
• Corrected missing and incorrect columns in the player cards and deck lists.
• Corrected the statistics boundaries for player and deck cards and the corresponding distribution graphs. The values with zero quantities are automatically removed from distribution graphs.

Many thanks to Drew of www.cardgamedb.com for the english scans of the last pack.

Next version will include the first "The Hobbit" saga extension and corrected statistics for encounter cards.

Comments, suggestions (and kudos) are welcome !

Have fun !

Hello,

A NEW VERSION OF THE DECKBUILDER IS AVAILABLE !

Sorry, again, for the long delay. My job didn't let me have much spare time available for the last weeks…

But first, and once again, I'd like to give a warm thank you to The_Big_Show for his generous contribution

The list of new things:

• Added cards of the The Hobbit : Over Hill and Under Hill saga expansion (english & french).
• Correction of screens and filters for the new sphere (Baggins) and new card type (Treasure).
• Update of the player and deck card lists statistics.
• Updated the capabilities filters list.
• Added both Hobbit Period sample deck lists.

Important Note : Bilbo Baggins and treasure cards from The Hobbit : Over Hill and Under Hill saga expansion are listed, but cannot be added to the deck list because of the special rules applicable to them.

Many thanks to Drew of www.cardgamedb.com for the english scans of the last pack.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this deck builder!

I'm just starting to play the game and I'm very glad to find something like this. Now I just need to learn how to build a decent deck. I've got a feeling I suck at it…

Superb.

Eagerly waiting for Heirs of Numenor set update.

Hello there,

Best wishes for a happy new year to all !

I'm coming back after a long break to give some news.

revolution.hk said:

Well, I do, too !

My actual status is this :

- Battle of Lake Town in french is ready

- I will receive my french Heirs of Numenor box next days and be able to put the cards into the DB shortly after.

- Unfortunately, I still don't have the card scans for the english set. So, I will hardly be able able to release an update until I manage to get these.

I'm looking for decent card scans of the Heirs of Numenor expansion. Any help is most welcome !

(contact me using the support email of the DeckBuilder, see the Readme.txt file)

Cheers !

Any chance that you also add a third language like German. The cards scan are all availble on the net, so that would be an awesome help.

Thanks.

It would be easy to replace the .dat files of the french cards, for example, by their german version. But adding the card texts and stuff in german would be a much bigger task I can't handle at the moment.

Could you send me a email with links for these ? (using the email present in the Readme.txt file of the DeckBuilder).

Cheers,

Zorbec

those are available in cardgamedb.com, can you use those?

revolution.hk said:

In cardgamesdb there are only 26 cards from HoN. I believe it brings a lot more…

Edit: Not even quest cards…

CJMatos said:

but the player cards are completed.

I wanna make new decks :-D

Hi guys,

Don't worry, thanks to Drew, I managed to get the pictures yesterday.

I'll be able to help him complete his database and, hopefully, release the long-awaited update of the DeckBuilder by the end of the week.

Stay tuned !

Cheers,

Zorbec

Here a link to the images and texts of the German cards: http://deckbauer.telfador.net/cards.html&gameid=1

darkpact said:

Thanks !

I'll check that.

I have all the material in english and french to prepare the update. I'm working on it as much as possible.

There may be a little delay in the release of the new version. Snow fell heavy last night, and I have a lot of work to remove it from the paths…

Cheers !

Zorbec

How can I fix garbled text in the cards titles? I tried to change character styles but it didnt work for me.

Hello,

I could probably help you, if only I had a better idea of your problem It's not as if it was a common one…

What is your system ?

What happens exactly ?

Did it happen from the very first use ? Or after installing another software ?

On which screen ?

A screen capture would help a lot to understand the problem…because I can't align my Palantir with your computer screen and see by myself

Cheers,

Hello,

A NEW VERSION OF THE DECKBUILDER IS AVAILABLE !

The list of new things:

• Added cards of The Blood of Gondor adventure pack (english only).
• Added cards of The Black Riders saga expansion (english, player cards only).
• Added cards of Encounter at Amon Dîn adventure pack (in french).
• Added an option in the statistics page of the deck screen to take unique cards into account only once, whatever their quantity in the deck.
• Added the Hobbit themed deck list from The Black Riders rules.
• Updated the filters.

The english image pack is updated and complete, except for the latest encounter cards.

As it is becoming more and more difficult for me to find some spare time to make the updates, it is probable that the next version of the DeckBuilder will include only player cards and deck building features, which are the main purpose of the application.

If I have the time, I may then release a separate application for the scenario and encounter cards reference. Yet, depending on the developments of the CardGameDB site (particularly if it includes a multi-language card database in the future), I may cancel this option.

I'm a big fan of your deckbuilder, it's better than the cardgamedb deckbuilder. But when I try to run it on my MacBook with Wine it crashes when I try to filter the cardlist. Limits my deckbuilding on the road :-)

Shame FFG doesn't develop a deckbuilder for iOS and Android.

that's unfortunate to hear as i really like to use this feature of your application, but i can understand the time commitment involved and wanting to ensure the timeliness of your releases.

many thanks to your for this wonderful tool regardless of the changes that need to be made go forward. cheers!!

Since I mainly use your deck builder for making my decks, is there a possibility that we will have an update with Morgul Vale cards soon, or we will have to wait for the next saga box also ?

Hi,

Some important personal issues prevented me to update the DeckBuilder these last weeks.Sorry for that.

I'll try to make the update asap, hopefully without waiting for the next saga box

Cheers,

Nyarla

Hello and a happy new year

Any news on that ?

PS : Honestly, I'm so used of your program that I have a problem to build decks with cards not in it
