Fixed it up for ya. Didnt have the full column list in the pluginfo and the setlist was a bit screwy as well.

You can shrink the download size a good bit by removing the thumb.db files. Windows generates them on its own, there's no need to inflate the package by including em.

Yes, it's an everyone problem. I've been trying to host it for the community while Trevor is away, but for some reason it wont stay up for any length of time. I've tried 5 different computers, 2 different ISP's available to me with various network configurations. For some strange reason it always dies in a way that isnt apparent right away. The program itself doesnt freeze, crash or lockup. It just continues to sit there. I've seen it happen within moments of it coming back up and I've seen it take up to an hour but it always ends the same.

I'll keep bringing it up for you guys as much as I can but unless I can discover why Lackey is acting so flakey all of a sudden, it'll just keep dying.

The Lackey server code seems to have some issues that have gone undetected. After about 30 mins to an hour Lackey stops dealing with connections. This issue has happened on two different XP machines and a machine running Debian. I'am guessing that Trevor has some unique setup which works for him, which would explain why these problems have gone undetected before now.

In the meantime there's not much I can do other than restart it when I see that it's down. Sorry to those in the community who are having trouble playing games, but until Trevor gets back and can take a look at the networking code, there isnt much that can be done.

interrupt was a mechanic in Magic long before Star Wars came along. Granted, in magic they're all called instants now. Time was though that there were interrupts and instants which prompted countless debates, flamewars, etc... over which went off first.

Ok, my bad. It did seem to go down. Found that out when I tried to connect From the window itself it still appeared to be up. Heh.

It hasnt gone down. It might be possible that Sixto was trying to connect to Trevor's server which is currently down.

I'll be hosting the Lackey game server while Trevor is away for a few days. If it should go down for more than a few minutes during the next few days, feel free to contact me on any of the messengers. I'am not often away from the computer for very long (except maybe when I'am sleeping, in which case I'll see the message when I wake up ).

I like the general layout and style of the cards. Not sure if I've got the time and motivation to get involved with yet another CCG though.

Sounds like Lackey is unable to write to the preferences file/files that it uses which can occur if you're on a limited or Guest account and dont have permission for Lackey to write those files. Other than that, not sure since I tend to avoid Vista like the plague that it is.

If I understand ya right, that's something that'll be handled by the Yugioh plugin maintainer. Depending on how the plugin is setup, he/she can probly do it in short order.

And I just realized you are the plugin maintainer Off hand I'am not sure why it wouldnt work for ya with Yugioh, it does work with Doctor Who, Stargate and Star Trek 2E.

Ya, you gotta give your deck a name. Doesnt really matter much what that name is, but it's gotta be there or the save button doesnt function.

Now as to having to re-install the plugin that does sound odd. We'd probly need some more details on this before we can help properly. What operating system are you using? Are you using an administrator account or a guest/limited account (on your OS).

Those questions I'am not certain about as they're not something I have had to deal with in the plugins I maintain. Perhaps Trevor or one of the others can help fill in those blanks for ya.

Well, first thing I notice is that you're using magic's updatelist.txt which of course can be modified to suit your plugin but is still using the magic info. Second, you have no card images. Cards wont display in the deck editor without images associated with them. You can create a missing.jpg or placeholder.jpg or some such, but you have to have something in the image field of your carddata.txt
