[fixed/closed]Cant use the filters in thedeck editor

[Siege]

I have experienced a bug since the last update (16/08/27).
The buttons for filtering color and card types doesn´t work in the deck editor.
Anyone else experienced this?

The filters work just fine for me.
Did you try to download and install again in case file/files got corrupted?
Do you also play shandalar the adventure part with this installation ?If yes which shandalar patch do you use,as DL3 is not compatible with Manalink3.0 BFZ2 patch? I don't know however if that could cause the bug you mention.

Separately reported here.

Siege: what version of Windows?

Filters don't work for me, either (any of those buggers). I use the latest patch, so Eldritch Moon v2. I have windows 7 on my computer.
Filters worked just fine at the stage of BFZ v2. I can still freely edit decks, just those damn filters...

P.S. Thanks a lot for the patch, even filters can't kill the fun of Thalia's Lieutenant!

I currently have a Windows 7 testbed (perhaps not for long) and it's working for me. (Steps I tried, from a clean installation: start magic.exe, enter deckbuilder, left-click the enchantments button to hide all the fake cards at the start of the list, left-click the white-mana button; it properly hides Abbey Gargoyles, Abbey Griffin, Abbey Matron, and Abeyance.)

That's not to say that the bug isn't valid - it clearly is, since three different people found it independently - just that there's some common factor that we're overlooking.

Filters works for me too, and I'm under Windows 7 too.

[Korath]

Apparently this only happens if you turn off sound effects. (!)

[takijeden]

Yes, turning the sound effects on solves the problem. Thanks.

[Korath]

Until I have a chance to look at this properly, there are two workarounds to get the filters to work without the irritating sound effects:
Either

1. Disable sounds at the OS level (right-click the speaker icon in system tray >> Open Volume Mixer >> mute button underneath the appropriate executable name - either magic.exe or deck.exe or shandalar.exe); or
2. Replace the sound files it uses: DuelSounds\LocMus*wav, DuelSounds\discard.wav, DuelSounds\draw.wav, DuelSounds\button.wav, DuelSounds\cancel.wav - with silent wav files. You might be able to get away with deleting them, which I haven't tried.

A has the disadvantage that, when running magic.exe or shandalar.exe, you need to unmute when you leave the deck editor. B, of course, also removes the draw and discard sounds from duel. (I think button.wav and cancel.wav are only used by the deckbuilder, anyway.)

Fixed in b7c4e57.

New deckdll.dll attached. This is less to provide an interim fix for this issue (though it does do that) than to confirm that my current toolchain isn't producing executables that require modern Windows. I'd appreciate it if someone who's still on 32-bit XP would make sure it basically works.

(edit: the first iteration of this still had an irritating debugging popup at startup; I've now attached a build without it.)

I confirm the DeckDll.dll file correctly fix with filter issue with sound off on a 32-bit XP (never noticed that though, wonder since what patch it wasn't working)

[Aswan jaguar]

It seems to work fine in windows xp 32-bit system.

Just EMN here and HS1/2 on Shandalar, after deckdll.dll was rewritten in C++.
