Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Judging from what you said about image size, that's exactly my problem. In fact, I have never resized images to the standard 512x376 size. I have IrfanView, so I'll just have to check how to do batch resizing. Thanks a lot for the program and for the explanation!

You're very welcome. You could add a call to setMaxExtents to resize the images on the fly, but I didn't think about it until afterwards. After compressing my deck box images and frame textures (they use a different compression method and alpha format than the card art), my wad is down to under 30MB in size, which is pretty cool.

It reduced the total size by at least 40% even when packed with wadprogram.
And what i tested so far there's no problem in game.
Next release will be smaller in size.
Great job.

That's awesome! I'm thrilled to hear that you find it useful.

I used IrfanView to do the following:
1) Make a resize of the original pictures to 512 width.
2) Make another resize (in another folder) of the same original pictures to 376 height.
Then i kept only the largest version of each picture, so I have some pictures with exceeding width and some picture with exceeding height, but no picture smaller than 512x376. Now I need to crop the exceeding pixels, but IrfanView only allows to batch crop a set number of pixels from each side. I need to make a "center" batch crop, so that if there are 4 pixels to cut out, 2 pixels from one side and 2 pixels from the opposite side will be cut. Do you know some software I can use to achieve this result?

I used Fotosizer: http://www.fotosizer.com/
Seemed to do a good work, and easy.

This software only resizes, while I need to crop. Thanks anyway.

EDIT: I thought if you need something made as you wish, you have to do it yourself... so I made a program that does the crop I needed, and ran it. Now all the images are OK. Sorry if I don't share the program, but I made it really fast so I hard-coded the directories' names as I needed them.

I think that your problem w/ Irfanview was just that you allowed it to force maintaining the aspect ratio. If you override that setting and specify both dimensions, it should work in a batch. I should probably post a new executable that will scale the images automatically - sorry.

Here's a new update.

I got a problem with your dlc, the decks looks cool but then i try to play with them my program shuts down and i have only tried 2 decks the infect deck worked for one game but after i won against koth my program shut down! and then i was gonna look at the frites decklist my program shut down. Can anyone help me with this?

Sometimes a fatal error might occur at the end of the game. But i didn't found that often, and couldn't troubleshoot it.
Have you tried more than once? With the same deck? And what king of game are you playing (campaign, free-for-all, archenemy)? Maybe then i can find the error.
Thanks for the feedback.

I found the DLC miss BREEDING_POOL_3000006 Card in DECK "Use Your Land" , and miss JOR_KADEEN_THE_PREVAILER_227508 Card in DECK "Tempered Virtue"

I tried The Other Auramancer deck and activiated Nomad Mythmaker skill to return an aura. I chose Celestial Mantle which was in my graveyard. When the ability resolved, the aura card is still in my graveyard, with Nomad tapped.

I confirmed the error, but i'm having some trouble fixing it...

I looked at Nomad Mythmaker code, and it seems OK to me, but I can say nothing about the PutIntoPlayAttachedTo function, since there's no example of how to use it in the core WAD. How did you discover what parameters it needs?

The PutIntoPlayAttachedTo works well on other card, like Academy Researchers, Iridescent Drake,... The problems seems to be in the target creature...
I was lucky to find the correct syntax to make this deck.
