GCCG (1.2.0 "Lady Shredder" - 02/26/11)

[Kralik]

When I log in to the lobby I usually see 6+ players. Why not ask?

I made a tutorial with pictures for Lackey a long time back, but I've never been motivated to do the same for GCCG because of a) time constraints and b) the ready supply of other players to show newbies the ropes.

i do post in the chat asking for help...other players must be busy hehe

time to bump and dying thread for old times sake. I have a few questions about this program if I may ask some more experienced users.

1.) Typical of my I was exploring the program all noobie style and managed to spend most (all but like $2 and change) by randomly clicking stuff and was wondering how I could restart with a new username to fix this problem or if it one of those thing where your were being a fool now deal with it and do what you can.

2.) I assuming you can play at normal tables with any card just by making a deck and loading it. I'm also assuming that buying boosters and starters has some functions other than just building a collection. I'm also assuming when tournament are held you have to use decks from the cards you collected through buying the boosters and starters for virtual currency, is this correct?

3.) I watched a few games being played to see how some of the actives are and it appears they are speed players. Is there anyone on this site that wouldn't mind a nice, slow, and friendly game so I can get my feet wet and not piss people of by being slow while I figure out the fundamentals on this program.

You can reply here or shoot me a PM if you rather and thanks in advance, but it is rather nice to see the game hasn't completely died while I was gone and some people still do enjoy the game and made a program like this that seems to have a fun environment to it .

Deal with it. No harm done, though, as you'll see below.

Not at all. Most tournament the guys on the site hold are played with ANY cards you want. Of course, when you play a game WITHOUT proxies, you get a promo, so it's cool. Also, for instance, I play only with my wife and a couple friends, so we opt to only play with cards we own. Matter of preference, really. The loser in any game still gets a few bucks, so it's also not a problem if you want to play with whatever cards you have and take a beating. Collecting IS mostly for fun LotR-wise, although if you installed the MtG part you'd see it's possible to play sealed-deck matches, thus making the buying of boosters matter sometimes.

I believe most people would be ok to teach a new player use the program, it's what keeps the game alive nowadays anyway. I'd volunteer, but I have very scarce time, and nowadays I spend most of it playing Magic, trying to get the most mileage of my 4 Jace, the Mind Sculptor, before it rotates.

thanks for the imput FM, now to copy/paste the deck from my sda folder to the gccg folder and hope I remeber how to even play this game since I havent actually played since whenever it was I played last on sda (probably against Shieldmaiden, so yeah its been awhile).

[NappyKorn]

Just out of curiousity does any1 here ever do sealed decks on GccG? If so do you actually get a decked deck to play it and get to keep the cards for your collection when the match is over?

P.S
    Yeah I justed now found the sealed thing for the program LOL.

I searched the forums and couldn't find a way to set a new password, I'd like to be able to remember it as opposed to copy and pasting a long string of meaningless letters and numbers, help?

[Doom]

Just:

/Set Password <yourpasswordhere>

Hey there, I had this running a couple years ago and my only question is this...Did they remove all the official card images and only use the Initial and Text versions now, or am I missing something?
I installed the LOTR Cards. bat and updated, but no go...Thanks in advance.

[Doom]

They have the images still up.. If you downloaded the LOTR Cards.bat it should work. I uploaded something in another thread-you might want to check that out.

[Fauconathos]

I have two questions.  How do I recover my password, and how do I get the card images to show up, when I have run card.bat.  Also I've tried running update all but it still says I'm on v0.9.6

[Hiddens]

I installed card images but i still dont have them in game. Do you help me?

[Sabrien Reed]

See the thread called "card images not working".  You need to download the zip file from a website and unzip into your graphics folder.

Just a quick FYI -- 0.9.6 is the GCCG version while 1.2.0 is the LotR Module.

I've just installed GCCG and I'm trying to learn how it works is there any way to view only your collection (cards you actually have there, not the big list of all cards existing in the game)?
