Call of Cthulhu LCG updated through latest Asylum Pack - (09-12-10)

[Playwithfire]

Previous work by others - Need to do this if you haven't installed the call_of_cthulhu_lcg yet.

There is a new site for it at "http://sites.google.com/site/callofcthulhulcg/". It is currently up to date with all LCG cards through the Sleeper series. I'll be keeping it up to date as new packs are released.

Installing and updating is done through Lackey's auto-update feature.


------- Initial Installation
Instructions for this can be found here: http://www.lackeyccg.com/tutorial.html#installinglackey

------- Install the Call of Cthulhu LCG plugin
1) Start up the Lacky CCG program.
2) Click on the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen.
3) Towards the bottom of the screen is an AutoUpdate section with a button labeled "Update from URL:" In the textbox for that, enter: http://sites.google.com/site/callofcthulhulcg/update/updatelist.txt and click the "Update from URL:".
4) The program will now download the basics of the plugin and inform you that you need to restart Lackey. Go ahead and restart Lackey.
5) When the program restarts, go back to the "Preferences" tab.
6) In the same "AutoUpdate" section, now click on the button marked "Download Missing Card Images"
7) You're good to go.

Step 6 will take awhile the first time you install the plugin as it has to download all the images.

------- Update the Call of Cthulhu LCG plugin
Whenever a new update occurs, you'll most likely want to download the new cards. All you need to do is repeat steps 2-7 above. It will go *much* faster doing the small 20 card updates. It seems a bit cumbersome, but once you get used to it, it takes only a few seconds to do.

------- Working with Nyarlazorbec's Deck Builder
Nyarlazorbec did us all a HUGE favor, and built in an ability to export from his Deck Builder to the Lackey format. There is a deck builder in Lackey, but I feel that Nyarlazorbec's is infinitely better. Plus, it allows you to just do everything in one location and keep it in sync.
1) Build/Update your deck in Nyarlazorbec's Deck Builder
2) Click the "Export" button at the top.
3) Choose the "XML online format (LCG only) option and the "File" option.
4) Click "OK"
5) Save the file in the directory: LACKEY_INSTALL_DIRECTORY/plugins/cthulhu_lcg/decks/
( note: LACKEY_INSTALL_DIRECTORY is the location you installed Lackey, something like: c:/lackey )
6) All done.

For more information on Lackey, installation, plugins, etc please see the Lackey page itself at http://www.lackeyccg.com/

New work by me.

Okay I have finished updating the setlist through The Yuggoth Contract: The Spoken Covenant. You will need to do a manual update of the data as I do not have access to the auto-update file location. Hopefully the file creator can take what i have done and finish the update from there.

Step 1 - Download the files HERE

http://filebeam.com/5f4d49407a4e858a11d4de38b3864e5c

STEP 2 - unzip the file.

STEP 4 - Replace the setinfo.txt found at

PATH\LackeyCCG\plugins\cthulhu_lcg\sets\setinfo.txt with the one from the zip

STEP 5 - Replace the setlist.txt found at

PATH\LackeyCCG\plugins\cthulhu_lcg\setlist.txt eith the one from the zip

STEP 6 -Add additional card images from eric.minet.free.fr/cocbuilder/dbdownl_en.htm

to

PATH\LackeyCCG\plugins\cthulhu_lcg\sets\setimages

I have kept the same directory tree as Nyarlazorbec, so just cut and paste the sets and you will be fine.

Can you upload your Cthulhu plug-in instead since it contains everything and what not? (everything in the folder named Cthulhu)
