Wich version do i have?

Postby Zem » 23 Feb 2020, 18:09

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out what version I have. I read in another topic that the folder size is an indicator. However i have a bunch of downloaded card art in the folder that blows up folder size and can't find my original download. all i have left is my installed and working game.
It bugs me a little that some cards I'd like to use are bugged (lightning dragon and vampiric dragon come to mind). maybe there's a fix to be found if i knew what version i have. is there a way to figure that out?

On an unrelated topic:
I'd also like to say that it's totally messed up, that some individual threatened korath and robbed the whole community of a super awesome developer and game. I really hope korath returns one day and blesses us with his skill again

thanks in advance!

Hello. See if you can locate a shandalar.dll in your game folder. Right-click on it and check the file size (in bytes). With that we can probably figure out the version.

The Shandalar you're playing is Thieves Hideout, v1.

Is there somewhere one can look up the version history?

I have two versions, the sizes of Shandalar.dll are:

#1: 17.4 MB (18.302.493 Bytes)
#2: 15.1 MB (15.851.572 Bytes)

Hi, Doenerchef. Those are DL2 and GG1. History only if you mean as far as most of the names and file sizes. The individual release posts that might've mentioned card and mechanics details were scrubbed. I *thought* Gemcutters was the end of the line, but Hall of the Sultan (which I don't have and don't know any details about) was from around the same time and its possible HOS v3 could have been the final.

So, I am definitely a couple of versions removed from the latest? Dang. I wish there was still some way...
