Post your GCCG questions here!
« on: April 23, 2009, 09:49:02 AM »
So let's have a help thread! The best way to learn how to use GCCG is have someone show you, but what if no one is online? Post your questions here and we (myself and other players) will do our best to help you out. :)

A couple notes to new users:

1) GCCG does not open straight to a card table. The black screen and the tables represent the lobby. To start playing a game (either with someone else or by yourself), you have to load a deck and sit at a table.

2) If you have decks with another program, they can be opened in GCCG. Most people find a supplemental deck-building program easier than GCCG's deck building. You can use Apprentice, SdA, Lackey, or (my favorite) Zorbec's.

As time goes on, I'll probably turn the top post of this thread into a tutorial/FAQ.

So fire away! ;D

so, I installed GCCG, set my username... and then? ...five tables, $$$, etc.

I just want to play a nice game with other nice guys... Do I have also to install some other files of gccg? I started "Lotr_fullscreen"; is that right?

Pleas help ???

You're fine as long as you ran "Install LotR.bat" and "Install LotR cards.bat" :)
Now the best thing to do is see if there are other people on besides yourself who could help a bit. Do you have decks from SdA you could use? If so, copy these into the GCCG\decks\lotr folder on your computer.

Edit: If there's a good time for you, PM me and I could probably be there. :)

another question...

How can I improve the resolution of gccg? I use full screen mode... but is there a chance to get a higher resolution? (1920 x 1200) ?

By the way, what is the most used online play program? where are the most players around?

what's up fellas?!

i can tell you what's up:
yesterday i played my very first GCCG game with my insane friend Olorin :P
it's absoluty wonderful although i'm a bloody noob until now. the only thing that is distracting is that you have to rely on your opponent 100%, because there are many ways for cheating and abusing the "freedom" of the game. example: i can take a any card in hand with The Prancing Pony, equal it's a ranger or not.

but ofcourse very well done. - if i have any questions, i'll post them here.  :up:

The standard procedure when taking cards from your draw deck is to either set them on the table (simply click on them) or set them aside and reveal to your opponent BEFORE putting to hand. It's like in real life: you have to show it to them. If you have any questions on how to play certain cards, most of the logistics have already been figured out. :up:

You can play at any resolution, but the table will always be the same size (relatively) so that all players see the same thing. If your resolution is higher, it just means the cards will be bigger. The default is 1024x768. I play on 840x600 since I have a small screen (Eee PC), so the cards I see are smaller. Do you want to know how to set the screen size?

Yes please :-)

... would like to know if it is possible to get the cards in such a good quality that I can read them exactly without using the shift button... so, I would need a better resolution indeed...  ](*,)  :-k

Hello  ;D

I can not download the gccg core file from here: http://gccg.sourceforge.net/modules/gccg-core-0.9.3.tgz

My computer says, the download can not be added. What shall I do?

Sorry, I kind of forgot about this one. :-S

It's a little tricky, but not too bad. From the GCCG faq:

Edit the file LotR.bat with Notepad or a similar editor. On the last line, after %CLIENT% insert the following text (example):

--geometry 800x600

To get a 800x600 screen, for example. Substitute whatever numbers you want for 840 (width) and 600 (height). IMO it looks best at a ratio of 7 to 5, but you'll want to experiment perhaps to see what gives you the most proportional cards.
