Quick way to check if a card is in my version
by doenerchef » 19 Jun 2019, 15:30
How can I check quickly if a certain card is part of my version of Shandalar? There seem to be several files that contain lists of cards, but I don't think I've found the correct one yet...

Did I ask the wrong question or is this forum dead?

Hi. Not dead but I think drama from a few years ago left things in an unhealthy state for discussion about a game release the community has in common.
>>is part of my version of Shandalar?
Could you state the version? The answer varies. If you're not sure, see if you can locate a shandalar.dll in your game folder. Right-click on it and check the file size (bytes).

Thank you for trying to help me!
Not sure which version I have, but it's a relatively late one where the additional features have been implemented (new mulligan rule, etc.).
The file size of shandalar.dll is 18,302,493 bytes (18,305,024 on drive, if that makes a difference!).

Nice! You have a later version than any of mine (sigh), but from the file size you gave I can tell it is post Dragons Lair 2. I suppose GG or HoS.
You asked if there's a way to check a list of cards. You can -- thanks to a handy feature built-in by Korath. First you need to generate the list. From a command prompt in your Shandalar folder. Type:
shandalar -c [enter]
This generates cardlist.txt in that same folder. It's a text file containing card names and ID #s.
If you want something spreadsheet sort-able there's also:
shandalar --show-prices [enter]
That outputs to prices.csv and includes card names as the second value.
If you're not familiar with getting around in a command prompt I guess your easiest path is:
1) Open file explorer (windows key + E)
2) Navigate into your Shandalar folder
3) In the address bar type CMD [enter].

Thank you so much.
The first command worked like a charm, but the other one (pricelist) crashed, unfortunately. Are you sure the command you gave me is exactly correct?
Anyways, the cardlist already answers my question anyways.

Glad to hear it!
The second one is correct. Note that (unlike the first) the second command line switch begins with two dashes.
shandalar --show-prices
