Volrathxp's Custom Dotp 2014 DLC (Last Update: 12/6/2014)

[volrathxp]

Hi Volrathxp, can yon explain a bit better the last changes please?

Big update! So that I could utilize certain cards that have already been coded, I've included them in my DLC so that you don't need them for the decks! Of course this means the size of the DLC has grown considerably. This also includes all 10 duals (w/ manual mana functions), and all 10 shocks (w/ manual mana functions). I've added a few new decks for things, too!

What is this mean? The amount of cards from your ID did not grow. I see you are adding extra cards from other mods in your file. Why?

What happens with the users that already had those cards in their respective mods?

I am trying to see if is possible to have only 1 copy of each card between all mods, but everyone keeps adding cards from other mods to their files :S

Well, for now I would keep your old file until I understand a little more the changes..

Have a nice day

People do that so that everyone doesn't need to download every mod to play. It would be different if I did not provide decks with my DLC, but since I do, in order to provide support for the decks I build I obviously need to include other cards in addition to the cards from my own DLC. In order to support certain archetypes (example: Heroic), I need cards that are not in the core game, and most likely are cards that are in other mods.

Rather than just assume that someone has every DLC downloaded, I'd rather include the appropriate support cards needed. Sure, I can state "You need these DLC's" but I can't guarantee that someone will pay attention to that appropriately beyond needing RSN's Manual Mana fixes and the planeswalker mod I already require.

I will note that I manually corrected all the shocks for manual mana functions, so that they work properly with manual mana. I've also got all the Temples functioning with manual mana.

I understand, but you still have the old build were you only have your files? To be share for those who already have all the other mods?

If not add extra work, it will be nice if you can share your mod updates in the 2 versions, the one with no need of extra mods, and the one with requirements.

Why don't you keep all the requirements from other mods in a separate WAD file? This would make everyone happy, I think.

That I think would be doable. I will look into this.

[volrathxp]

Alright, I've separated out the cards that are from other DLC's that are used in my decks. DATA_DLC_VXP now only contains cards that I've personally coded or corrected (note this still does include the duals/shocks/temples with MM functions, and the Heroic cards with fixed heroic abilities for bestow usage(,

IF YOU ARE USING MY DECKS, YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD BOTH DATA_DLC_VXP and DATA_DLC_VXP_OTHER IN ADDITION TO THE DECK FILES. IF YOU ARE ONLY USING MY DLC WITH RSN'S DECKBUILDER AND NOT USING ANY OF MY DECKS, YOU ONLY NEED DATA_DLC_VXP.

Made another update! See the changelog!

After the update, DOTP crashes to desktop.

[volrathxp]

Odd... I will do a recreation on both wads and reupload.

I still can't get it to run. "Installing" only the 2 core files is fine. Adding the decks, DOTP crashes.

Try uninstalling the mimeo deck since that is the newest one.

That was my first thought, too. Did not help. Adding even a single deck crashes it.

You never included a Content_pack_enabler. Could that cause an issue? We use gorem2k's cpe.

I updated the zip with that, give it a shot. It doesn't crash for me, so I'm not sure what is going wrong.

As I said, the data files are fine. But when I add a single deck (doesn't matter which one) the exe crashes. Looks like I have to wait for the next deck update.

My guess is that some dependencies are missing, and you don't get the crash because you have the missing card(s) somewhere in other packs.

@Kithkin: do you have Riiak's Deck Builder? If so, keep all volrathxp's decks installed, run the Deck Builder, wait for it to finish loading, open the error log, and copy-paste it here.
