This sounds like an issue with your computer or your network. Are you running lackey from a protected folder perhaps? Or something along those lines? Does it have the ability to write to it's folder? Is your firewall the problem?

I've been trying to get this to work for me and found a few issues.

I was using the Lotr plugin http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9169569/LackeyCCG/LoTR-LCG/updatelist.txt but I don't believe these issues are specific to the plugin.



1) In the Game tab, In the middle frame, under the "tabletop" frame, there are many different tabs for the game, such as "Encounter", "Encounter Discard",  etc.  On iOS, I cannot see/scroll the entries on the very right, there isn't enough screen space.  I have tried to scroll all the windows away, shrink the font, etc., but I just can't see those right hand tabs for decks, like "Heroes".  I can click the "Zones" section, however I can't see my hand easily either.  I have looked for work a work around to this but I can't find one.

This doesn't look to be an iOS specific problem, I can duplicate it on the PC if I use a small enough window.

Unfortunately, this problem makes LoTR unplayable on the iOS for me, as I can't see and manipulate my hand.

It would be nice if somehow you could scroll the tabs in there or do something else to see/navigate through them.


Thanks!

i fixed issues 1 and 2. I can't seem to reproduce issue 3. Can you figure out how to reproduce it?

Trevor,

I just downloaded the ipad app and noticed this same issue (#1 above re: not able to see/scroll to the right to see the hand tab, etc...  Apologies if I'm dense here but I'm curious what the fix was for this.  I was playing around with the app today, knew something wasn't right, watched the tutorials, and finally saw the above question which is the same issue I have.

Regards,

Bryan

first, I suggest plugin makers use as short a name of zones as possible. Instead of "discard deck" they should name it simply "discard".
But to answer your question, if things don't fit, I add rows until everything fits.

I did a test and failed but then made changes and wanted to tr again. The button remains greyed out even after restarting lackey

You need to be connected to the server to run a test. It would be greyed out if you weren't. Is that the issue?

If you can find any reproducible crash I can fix it.

1.0.2 is coming

EDIT**
Nevermind i figured out what was wrong

What was wrong?

I have an ipad mini and I'm from the uk , I will happily share my thoughts but at the moment I'm waiting for the fix because I cannot see any of the plug ins in browse

you should still be able to load the plugin immediately as part of running the autoupdate. When it is done, it let's you load the plugin, assuming there were no download errors.
Sorry for that inconvenience.

That game looks cool. Is it in English?

What parts of the plugin can I change and still be compatible with friends? I just realized that having my folder named differently I couldn't play against my friend. So foldername has to be the same. But card images, counter images etc. I can all edit and still play with other people? Is that right?

the only thing that NEEDS to be the same is the name of the plugin. You will get a warning and it can cause errors of a few other things are not the same.

The plugininfo.txt file and the order and number of cards listed in the card data file(s) must be the same. Everything else doesn't matter as far as compatibility.

Anyone have an iPad mini? Someone reported that Lackey doesn't work well on an iPad mini, but I was under the impression that I had fixed that issue in version 1.0.1.

Just downloaded and it seems to crash midway through (probably form loading the tons of card images) for magic. Might be a specific image though as I tried the same game a few times in a row. Kinda low on open memory currently though My main critiques though are that I would like to be able to load an avatar through photos. Also the toggle fullscreen and quit buttons are kinda redundant. Also annoyingly easy to delete a plugin.

Longtime player on desktop and mostly bought app to show support.

i thought I removed the toggle full screen from the iPad version. I'll have to check. I think a quit function is still useful on iPad.

The crash is unacceptable and I'm actively investigating it.

Regarding the avatar images from Photos, that's more complicated than it seems. I don't want people using full images since those are usually huge files. Avatar images should be smaller, around 30kb in size. The point of them is that they are shared, and that means they need to be small enough to not use too much bandwidth. Ideally, I would let people use Photos, edit the image, and convert it to a smaller file size, but that's somewhat complicated, and it brings up a few other issues, like inconsistency across platforms. It's definitely something I'd like to do eventually, but there are more useful things I want to add first.

Thank you for your constructive criticism and support. Without it, I wouldn't be able to improve Lackey.

Yeah, I know. But I'll just have to use a game or two at a time then.

But another question. Is it possible to scroll to the left in the main window? When you are in the player table there is the area where you for example have the cards in your hand. You can scroll both left and right to see you cards. But is there a way to do the same with the taps just above? Or is this again a plugin thing? I tried the Death angle this time and there is 9 taps and only the 6,5 is visible. I'll have to press the "+" in the far upper right corner to make the side menu appeare and then resize it to see what's in these areas. Any way to just scroll through the taps?

I'm not completely sure I understand what you talking about, but I fixed several issues I think you might be talking about. Could you perhaps send me a screenshot so I can see what you're describing?

thanks for the screenshots. I have since fixed this issue and I'm waiting for the fix to become live.

I hope someday they could get the version for android   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnVIwW3XKaI

is that lackey running on an android device?

well the card view box i got it to be the size of the magic high scans i would resize them but i am just updating the existing plugin so it's not in the old format i still need to update the pack definitions. if there was an easier way to resize over 1k cards then i would do it.

Photoshop can easily batch resize images. PM me if you want more info.

Hm, all right. I understand, and that does make a lot of sense.

In that case, is there a way to reveal cards in your gamezone to spectators or just reveal the entire gamezone to spectators such as a discard pile?

spectators should only be able to see game zones that all players can see.

I also have this problem. I can't see cards in a discard pile if I'm a spectator, I've tried every option available for revealing the zone but it just won't work.

That may be a bug/oversight. It was my intent to let spectators view things that all players could.
