grateful & confused
Posted: 23 Feb 2015, 19:11
My friends... especially Gargaroz, Korath, Sonic, Aswan Jaguar, Stassy and many others, I just can't thank everybody enough for the great work that has been produced in the last years. So, this is not a complaint! This is as an effort to improve an already fantastic job... and also a request for help.
I just formatted my computer and in my opinion installing and updating the game can be extremely confusing due to conflicting information and large number of links scattered over different areas. This should really be simplified and streamlined.
For instance, there's a lot of different versions of the game here:
viewtopic.php?f=55&t=6401
Which should one choose? I have no idea what the differences are, or even how to check my own version.
And if I install any of these, will moving the card art updates to the CardArtManalink folder be enough to "install" them? My guess is that it won't because they're simple image files and don't include encoding. Am I wrong? Where can the code for the new cards be found?
The patches - let's say December's patch. Again, a lot of links.
What is "the usual Sonic corner"? https://www.mediafire.com/?r7cgtuc4w3t3pa6
And what's this file for, is it the code? I just extracted it to my main folder and the game stopped working, ie, no cards appear during the gauntlet. Any help please?
Afterwards there's two links for the same file: ManalinkDec2014.zip, but a few post later Sonic posted:
"Ignore the 'ManalinkDec2014.zip' file - this was the archive for the edited manalink files I sent to Gargaroz for the patch update. I think he included the link in the announcement post by mistake."
Of course, by the time I had read this I had already installed it. I think the first post of these topics should be clearer and always updated.
Again, not complaining! Thank you for your efforts and I appreciate any answers to my questions.
