Abandoned Shrine 1 ("AS1") installation problem

[Achilles]

Hi, I had TH3 working and now that I've beaten the game, decided to try the new AS1 out. But the installation didn't go well, it seems that my Token.dat file is corrupted.

I'm getting several error messages saying Token.dat (\DuelArt) can't load CardOv_Nyx.png (\CardArt\Token). I wonder if a good soul can help me out, perhaps upload a working DuelArt/CardArt folder ...

Did you follow the whole instructions for a complete clean install from the patch thread aka download ML3 theros > update to BFZ2 > update to AS1?

[Achilles]

No, because I already had TH3 installed. So I followed Abandoned Shrine 1 thread aka update to BFZ2 > update to AS1 > CardArtUpdate_March2016. I was expecting to solve the issue without having to uninstall everything, download everything and setup it all up again.

Well, in one of my AS1 install, what I did is copy the content of an already existing and working ML3 BFZv2 folder into a TH3 folder (all but the cardimages), then install A1.

The main requirement is that you must have an already existing and working ML3 BFZv2 folder, regardless of your Shandalar version, that is why if you don't, you have to download the whole ML3 folder anyway and Sonic updated cardimage package which I think it biggest issue for slow internet user (the ML3 BFZv2 cardimage folders are not valid for AS1 and must be deleted/archived).

ML3 BFZv2 cardimage folders are not valid

Does Sonic cardimage package change any other folder besides CardArtManalink? If so, which should I download: 2012, 2012_2014 or 2015?

I believe my problem is either DuelArt or CardArt folder (which were changed by BFZv2 update), but I thought Sonic only covered CardArtManalink, if it covers other folders then that's probably what went wrong.

Previously it affected both CardArtManalink and CardArtShandalar but due to recent change all cards are in the CardArtManalink now and CardArtShandalar is obsolete.

Unfortunately due to recent fixes, I suggest you download all of them and install in date order (after removing any previous CardArtManalink folder).

Also there is to note that for each new patch/new card/new expansion, the imaged are in low quality while waiting for HQ version, then when it's available the cardimage need to be updated/downloaded again.

Sonic cardimage pack does not affect DuelArt or CardArt, though I suggest you install again Sarlack UI mod, this one is recommanded by Korath (though I like Sonic version which still kinda work)

[Achilles]

Well, I decided to feed the program with a "CardOv_Nyx.png" (I've duplicated and renamed the "CardOv_GoldNyx.png") and it started.

I'll try playing as it is. Hopefully I won't run on any major problem.
Thanks anyway.

all that is is the nyx background on the outside card image. no big deal you may just run into a few cards that look weird because of it.
