[Kralik]

Type:

/set nosound yes

Is there a way to import decks from the old official Decipher online game?

[ket_the_jet]

Not that I am aware of.

@Kralik

Have installed the program, but now i'm getting verry frustrated, because it seems that I can't succeed in creating a username??

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

[Shieldmaiden]

Okay Kralik, you've got me.  It wouldn't accept Shieldmaiden (too long), so I am Shieldmaid.  If anyone sees me on and wants to play, please let me know.  But please be gentle because I don't know this program yet.  I've only played on SdA, so please be gentle with me!   

Off to figure out how to build decks now...I might be back soon asking for help, lol.

A lot of people use Zobrec's deck builder and imports those directly into GCCG.

I prefer to just build my decks in program.

SM,

You can use SdA to build decks. I prefer Zorbec's, but many of the oldtime SdA users like to stick with something familiar. Just save the decks in the GCCG\decks\Lotr folder and use the "Import Deck" option.

Best way to learn how GCCG works is to find someone on who can show you around. Was the lobby empty when you logged in last time?

And here are some screenshots!

Talk about an eye opener, started buying these back in 2001 and never have played anyone. I didn't have anyone here too play. I bought the starter box for the Fellowship and it had all these cool beads but had no idea lol. Thanks for the pic's!!!

Just wanted to add this in about signing up for new users....

In the instructions...
The new official way to install the windows client is:

1/ Go to GCCG official site: http://gccg.sourceforge.net/
2/ Follow the instructions (download http://gccg.sourceforge.net/gccg_install.zip, extract)
3/ Run "Install LOTR.bat", to download and install the LOTR module.
4/ Wait for all required components to be installed
5/ Start the game with "Lotr.bat"
6/ If first time install and asked for, type /newuser myname and restart again.
7/ When successfully connected, quit and use "Install LOTR Cards.bat" to also download the card images.

And that should be all.

Where it says "myname" don't actually type in "myname" but the name you would like to go by!!! I noticed that a couple of people after signing up had to delete and reinstall, including myself too now lol, because of the error code, "Server Close connection...ABNORMAL EXIT".

I am pretty sure this is because when you first sign up people are typing it in exactly like it says thinking that is the only way in at first.

Now on to figuring all this game out since I don't have to live in fear of messing up my real cards!!!! Thanks to all here at the TLHH for creating this and making it available! Plus watch out once I get it all down I will be indestructible!!!!

Gold for everyone!!!!

i have installed the gccg and been playing for about a month but now when i load up the game i cant load the menu or see the game tables, players, collection, etc..

Help Please!

So how does the virtual money work? Can you make a preliminary deck without buying things with virtual money? When you buy a "booster" with virtual money, are they like the RL boosters in card distribution, set distribution, etc? Are there foils? 

[legolas3333]

the virtual money is jus for fun, you can use any cards you want to when making a deck without actually "owning" them

[Legolis]

Okay sorry about being kinda slow or out of place here but will get it all sooner or later. I was just wunderin about some of the commands.

I know that there is the help menu /help, but there are others not in the help menu. I noticed that the chat will scroll at the top and then there is the chat window on the bottom right. What would be the commands to switch between the chat options?

I saw where Pepin was trying to get me to play but could't respond, sorry! Plus it will be slow, painful and excruciating for my first couple times!!! Just a warning lol.   

I was thinking there should be a thread dedicated to the command list, hint for someone who knows them well enough!

But beware for if I do get it all down I will be hard to beat!!! Muhahahaa 

More gold for you all

the chat boxes are exactly the same, the one in the corner just shows the messages addressed to you, if you hit tab, it will cycle through the players that are there, once you reach the desired players name, just type in a message and it will show up in two places, the personal message box and it will scroll down from the top.
