Thefiremind's DotP2013 DLC v9 (27/5/2013)

[thefiremind]

I have some suggestion for your next decks:

- Allies
- Domain Zoo
- Slivers

I'm not making it yet because i work too slow without the Deck Editor.

I'm afraid you'll have to wait for it then. I don't take requests as long as I have ideas of my own, sorry.

Also, level-up frames is possible this time? Transcedental master's art appear in the menus.

That means nothing because Kargan Dragonlord appeared as loading screen in DotP2012. This time it's even worse because the frame is chosen automatically by the game by looking at the card colors and type, and there's no way to override the choice.

If the game will not support planeswalkers, why damage from planeswalkers is considered?

The planeswalker type was considered also in Argentum Armor in DotP2012. Maybe some of the developers like to do things properly. Unluckily, not all of them.

Shielding Plax is not preventing targetting from the opponent spells.

I actually tried to implement Planeswalkers in 2013 but they have the same problem like in 2012. They don't show up ingame. In the deck-manager you can see them (without the proper frame, just a basic one) but they don't appear when you draw them (ex.: hand-count at the side is 5 but you only see 4 cards in your hand). There are a few functions and filters that indicate, that stainless worked on them but they aren't complete enough for us to finish them i think. But maybe they will come in the later dlcs, i wont give up the hope

With the mod the game doesn't save the progress. Everytime I open it, it's like it's the first time I've ever played it...

PS: How do I unlock the 10 locked cards in each modded deck?

There are problems with the deck unlocks. The deck manager will say "0 unlocked" and "0 locked", and if you have THETA version which enables the button to unlock the whole deck, you won't find that button for my decks. If you win matches, the cards are correctly unlocked, though. Conscious of this problem, I didn't put much effort in the unlock lists, let's say they are just a way to show off what cards I coded, and you are strongly encouraged to unpack the decks and edit them to your liking.

Winning with the decks is the only way to unlock cards until someone finds out how to fix unlockables in custom DLCs.

Damn! I forgot internal and pre_trigger!

I find it necessary to include in the DLC CONFIG directory, and Put the APPID_LINKING.TXT file, formatted as 2012. Before the DECK can save and unlock properly, hope to be useful.

I tried, but nothing changed. Maybe I wasn't doing it right. I'll try again later.

EDIT: No way, I tried every combination of directory structure and unlock codes that came into my mind, but nothing changed. If you can tell me exactly how you would do it step by step, I can try with your method.

CONFIGS directory is placed on the DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS directory . not on the DATA_PC directory



I try to modify your MOD, after joining the APPID_LINKING.TXT file. enter the game, you need in the deck manage interface, Choose your DECK . to press the "premium foil deck" , and then quit the game, and then enter the game, you'll find DECK is unlocked and can be saved, but not all DECK can be saved.

and the APPID_LINKING.TXT file I modify :

the card "Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni " is not name "Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni"
the card "Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon" type is not Legendary Creature — Dragon Skeleton

Haha, sorry... that's what happens when I copy the XML from other cards and forget about some substitutions...

Thanks for the explanation about unlocking. I thought I could see some changes immediately (like seeing the right number of locked cards), without clicking on Premium foil and rebooting the game. With your procedure it works indeed.

[Zambooo]

Sorry for re-posting, but the game doesn't save progress and everytime I open it it's like it's the first time. Does anyone have a similiar problem (or a solution)?

Edit: I solved it deleting the files in "C:\Users\[your_username]\AppData\Local\SKIDROW\97330", if anyone has this problem too (and he's using the SKIDROW version of the game)...

I'm glad you solved the problem this way, anyway I'll follow Ctar's advice starting from the next release and the problem should be gone forever (I'm not sure because I'm using Theta version, but I hope so).

Sorry if I'm writing so often... but I wanna ask if there's a way to modify those Decks (I'm talking about a software).
Thanks.

• Open this topic: viewtopic.php?f=62&t=7341
• Click on the second link on the page (the one with "builds")
• Download the zip file you find there (duels-r6_b5.zip, the name will change when Rick releases a new version) and extract it wherever you want
• Drag and drop the WAD file of the deck you want to modify (my decks all end with "ST" like the original ones) on Gibbed.Duels.Unpack.exe
• You'll end up with a directory with the same name of the WAD file, open its sub-directories until you are in DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS
• There are 2 important sub-directories inside DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS: DECKS and UNLOCKS. The first contains the list of the starting cards of the deck (don't touch the file that has "LAND_POOL" in the name, you need to modify only the other one), while the second contains the list of the unlockable cards. Both lists are in XML format.
• Open the XML that you want to edit with Notepad or any editor you like. You'll recognize the list of cards and understand easily how it is written. You can change card names with other card names, but you have to write their name exactly (they are usually named with underscores instead of spaces and with a number at the end).
• Once you are done editing, exit from all the sub-directories, drag the directory you obtained when unpacking (the first one with the same name of the WAD file) and drop it on Gibbed.Duels.Pack.exe. This will repack the directory into a WAD file. You'll end up with a file a little bigger than my version, that's because you can't enable compression with drag&drop, but don't care about it.
• Move the WAD file in your DotP2013 directory.
• If you are using the Skidrow version of the game, the changes could stay unnoticed by the game, in this case you'll have to delete your profile again as you did before.
• Start the game and see if everything went well.

If you need a list of all the cards in my DLC, follow the same instructions, but unpack Deck_1999_Core, and browse inside the sub-directories until you are in the CARDS sub-directory. Inside it, each file represents a card. Just use the file names as card names for the decks.

If you need a list of all the original cards of the game, download it from here:
viewtopic.php?f=62&t=6784&start=105#p91398
(it's faster than unpacking all the WAD files)

If you don't want to go through all this, you'll have to wait until a Deck Editor will be made for DotP2013.

Thanks a LOT! I'll try your method ASAP.

[Zambooo]

OMG that's real GREAT!! But now I got one more question xD
Is there a faster way to unlock the locked cards without playing 30 or some matches??
PS: nevermind... I've just read the previous messages about the same question.

[elminster63500]

hello,

great job again Firemind.

The only bug i found is the ninjutsu capacity that doesn't work. When one of my creature is not blocked, i can't activate the capacity (of course, i have sufficient mana to activate it) of one of my creatures in hands who has this capacity.

Thanks a lot !!
