Video card really shouldnt matter all that much. The vid setup in the machine I mentioned was an onboard 32meg card.

Not sure that this has come up before. I know the least powered machine I've used is a 1.6Ghz processor with 512MB of RAM.

Ehh, was one of those things. There were a handfull of people online trying to play Vs but having quite a few problems with the plugin so I threw together a fixed version. The 30 minutes to upload the images was longer than the 5 mins it took to fix  Not like it was some big master plan

By autoupdate do you mean being able to update the plugin via a url in Lackey? If yes, you have to create an updatelist.txt for the plugin in particular. You also need a host to serve the images and files related to the plugin.

Already does. It's table marking. Defaults to the middle mouse button, click and draw an arrow to where you need to.

I've noticed something like this:

If you have more cards of the same name (ex in mtg plugin few "swamp" cards in "starter") you can add to the deck only the swamp with the lowest number. If cards have different names (ex "swamp1","swamp2") then deck works as it should - you can add different swamps to your deck.

This isn't exactly a bug but the intended working of Lackey (at present). At this time the only way around that would be to rename the specific cards in the plugin to have different names, even if the different is something minor like 'Swamp1' or 'Swamp2'.

The best days for me would probly be Tue, Wed, Thur, Sat or Sunday. Anywhere from 7pm Central (-6 GMT) onward.

This is just an interest check to see what sort of crowd we might get for a weekly gathering to learn and play less common games. Games such as Stargate, Star Trek, Vs, Doctor Who, B5, etc...

Luck to me in a CCG/TCG is just drawing the card you need in the first place at a time when it would benefit you. There's really no good reason that I can see for adding in another "luck" mechanic in weither or not you can even play the card. The game would really degenerate into a dice war pretty quick I think.

However there is some potential with the idea. I do sorta like the idea of variable resources available to the player. Perhaps if there were cards to modify that dice roll (and perhaps modify your opponent's roll as well). For example something like:

Mana Stone (Cost: Destroy 1 permanent under your control and 2 random cards from hand)
Text: While Mana Stone is in play you may add 1 or 2 (once per turn) to any resource roll you are required to make.

Mana Leech (Cost: Destroy 2 permanents under your control and 1 random card from hand)
Text: While Mana Leech is in play you may subtract 1 or 2 (once per turn) from any resource roll your opponent makes.

Likewise there should be other ways to modify the roll, those are just two examples I could think of off the top of my head.

Added the location of my Updatelist.txt for Vs, Hunter's link for the manual download of UFS and changed /medium/ to /low/ on Flies Rage plugin.

Actually I went ahead and fixed the plugin up myself. Resized all the mismatched images and put it all online so that it can be retrieved with Lackey. However the quality is still lacking on some of them. At present the only missing images that I am aware of are the promo cards. I've removed all the various avatars, backgrounds (both of which were broken to start with) and prebuilt decks (although I intend to add those back in as I get time).

Larger or variable fonts for the chat and Lackey text itself would probly be a good idea. For the cards themselves though it just wouldnt be possible without editing the images.

I dont think you could've misinterpreted that more than you did Souji The problem he's having...was a big thread about it on the old forums.  For the life of me I cant remember what the fix was however.

That's all on you and whoever else I'am afraid . One of those games that just never interested me, was a quick fix though to get it working which I didnt mind doing for ya.

I'll upload it to a different host later on this evening.
