If, after starting the game, I go directly to the FFA Lobby, it looks like this:



Any suggestions? Does it do any harm, like causing crashes?

I recently posted about this over in the decks thread. I don't know what causes it. For me it doesn't cause any crashes. For someone else, it does seem to cause crashes. Instead, for me, the entire deck will be basic lands and nothing else. If I first go into Deck Manager, it's fixed. Not into a specific deck, just the list of decks is sufficient. If anyone can shed some light on this, that would be awesome. This happens for me outside of the CW, so it's not specific to this.

I keep the various mods in different folders, and it happens only with the CW.

[Xander9009]

I don't mean to say there's not something in the CW that causes it. Just that I saw this issue before the CW existed.

Based on the Kithkin's picture and your description it seems like DotP hasn't fully read the WADs because the text with brackets around means it can't find the text string for the provided key (the text inside the brackets). If the deck was made with the Deck Builder (which based on the image it probably was) the text strings will be in the TEXT_PERMANENT XML file in the deck WAD. Based on your description of being all basic lands it sounds like it has not yet read in the deck's XML (thus it doesn't think there are any cards in the deck). If the game hasn't fully read the WADs this could cause problems ranging from all land decks to crashes (especially with multiplayer). My guess as to why it would not have fully read the WADs would be that it reads the WADs in another thread so that it can show the GUI and remain responsive even when loading data, so with more data to read (such as the large Community Wad) the longer it takes to load the necessary data. If that is the case then waiting a little longer may allow it to finish reading the data and thus "fix" the problem.

Again this is merely speculation based on a couple of educated guesses so I could be completely wrong.

[Xander9009]

Not fully reading the wads was my guess, too, because I was aware of the TEXT_PERMANENT file (I had to work with that when making the deck converter) and recognized the tag. I was not aware of the likelihood of multi-threading being the issue (I've never done anything at all involving separate threads unless that was built-in to whatever I was working with). It does seem like a likely scenario. I also just noticed (for the first time, because I always go to the deck manager first by habit) that when I went directly into the single-player free-for-all and the deck showed that kind of tag but immediately changed. So, it probably showed that, finished loading, and then updated. So, there's a pretty good chance you're right. Thanks

Wow! Where do all the new cards in core #202 come from?

Edit: Deck builders errors.log:

21.02.2015 11:42:28: Low: Card (CONFOUND_CW_27714 (1)) in wad DATA_DLC_COMMUNITY_CORE has a FILENAME tag that does not match which will cause problems in-game: CONFOUND_CW_27714

Xander, I don't "recognize" any of the HQ art from art_A-Z.zip, like Marchesa, the Black Rose or Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Did you include them?

[Xander9009]

I got distracted first by Pull from Eternity and then testing/correcting the FRF cards. However, I'll go do that today. That one will take a bit longer because now that I've split the art up into multiple wads by block, I have to check where each one came from before including it. Sorry for the unexpected delay. I hadn't forgotten, though.

EDIT: Scratch that. Realized I could automate it so it won't take a long time. In fact, it's done...

Also, hopefully Flesh Carver was the only one mislabled. It had the German ID for Gurmag Swiftwing. If any of them had the wrong ID, but that one one they had was English, then they would have been moved to the wrong place, overwriting the other files. Easy fix. But if you noticed one missing still after they upload, then you'll know why and you can let me know.

EDIT2: I forgot to mention, the first error post you reported was fixed last night.

Core #204:

Removed the other one (older) for the next release.

And greetings guys! Finally got back to the forum, though earlier I was mostly just a quiet observer anyways - now sharing some cards etc. with all as well

[dantar]

Thank you for the latest update!

[Kithkin]

I dropped another zip file into the card images folder: PLANESWALKERS. They need an update badly.
