Problems with Custom Installer 2010

[MindlessZero]

Hi.

I downloaded and installed the MTG Custom installer 2010, everything went fine. Installed to default path with short name, copied New card arts (and lowered sounds 'cause they were annoying in previous versions so I deleted them :p).

Anyways, I made deck with all the new shiny cards and was able to get into duel. My deck had Polluted Delta, which I played and tried to tutor for land cards. Game froze. Game just waited and waited (mouse changed to waiting icon). I could preview cards on the field etc. but nothing just happened. It felt like AI didn't know how to handle the card and just started think what to do.

I ran few tests after that, by making a deck with 38 Polluted deltas, 1 swamp and island. Me and AI had those decks. AI goes first and game froze immediately in his main phase. wtf? Same things happened with every other Land-Tutoring-Lands.

Ok, so that was problem #1. Second one is that I downloaded somebody's deck on the forums, which I couldn't play because I didn't have all the cards, but in the deckeditor there were cards that weren't normally in deck editor. Like 1 card was kobold legend and it gave all kobolds +2/+2 or something like that. My editor doesn't have card like that but it was still there.

I have no idea what I have done wrong here, and I thought this should be easy enough. :/ Im running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

TL:DR. Polluted Delta doesn't work, weird cards in deck which aren't in editor, W7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Please post your issue in the Custom Installer ISO dedicated thread here :

Also I think w7 is the problem, try to switch to xp and test again

Stassy, we're giving him the runaround. I asked him to come over here.

Second one is that I downloaded somebody's deck on the forums, which I couldn't play because I didn't have all the cards, but in the deckeditor there were cards that weren't normally in deck editor.

Once he starts downloading decks, he doesn't belong in the ISO topic any more. The ISO is meant to remain stock.

Ok, then it must be useful to change the thread name on the ISO to Shandalar only, maybe, we miss a big announcement banner in this section Shandalar > ISO, new card > latest update

[Huggybaby]

No, it's not for Shandalar only, but neither is it to be modified. Look, this is at the very top of the ISO post:

This thread is only for discussing the unmodified 2010 ISO Installer. This thread can't serve as a Shandalar troubleshooting forum.
1) If you have installed the game, and it is working, please post further questions to the Manalink New Users Forum.
2) If you have questions about modifying this game, please ask in the Manalink 2.0 forum.

I really don't know how, nor do I think it's possible, to make it any more clear than that. Except to use larger, red letters.

I'm not sure what you mean by Shandalar > ISO, new card > latest update.

[stassy]

Well you are no longer able to play Shandalar with the latest update because of the deck editor bug, so the only way is either the original game or the ISO version which is Shandalar compatible, that is what I meant.

My bad then, should have directed him to the latest update instead the ISO thread.

Maybe big red letter would be nice too

[Huggybaby]

OK, I got it now.

I made the warnings red, and I'll change the wording tomorrow to make everything even more clear.
