Hey all..
For starters, I'm confused where to put all the lines I write up. I have finished everything but carddata and images (which I will definitely need help on later) but don't know what to do with plugininfo.txt

I arranged my plugin folder just like the sample war3000 is, now what?

Also, I want to run a test to see if my plug in is working so I made a sample card image but don't know where to put it. Where do I get the URL from if it's on my desktop?

Maybe these questions seem stupid but the Tutorial, while great, leaves a lot open ended for those of with NO experience at all.. thanks!

still trying to figure that stuff out too.. it confuses the hell out of me

If all the files are local, you don't need to have any URL. Just put the images where they belong. Where exactly that is depends on how you configured your plugin. Take a look at where other plugins have their images.

the all mighty god of lackey speaks to us lol just kidding

cool.. once i get one picture in and set i'm gonna try to run the plug in.

i'm still confused though, do we put EVERYTHING one notepad file?

btw awesome program

[jdr88]

idk what I'm doing wrong.. i have everything as close to the plugins as I can and it won't even give me the option to load it

[jdr88]

Okay I got it to open.. at the moment I only have one card in my plugin (trying to get the hang of it) but it doesn't show up in the deck editor screen.. help! I'm really confused on the setlist.txt and all i have in that file is

1
"setname"

help?

If you want, pack it up in a zip or rar file and throw me a link to download it.  I'll take a look and see if I can figure it out.

here! please!

Well for starters, plugin names can't include spaces.

changed the name (didn't fix the initial problem) i definitely screwed up the linking to the pictures/sets/image or something. the one card I have doesn't exist inside Lackey

Try that. You also had some typos. Like priarie_dog instead of prairie_dog.

BTW the template design looks very professional.

btw
"Their silhouettes on the horizon comforted to us all" should omit the "to".

okay so awesome it worked..

two questions:

1 what did you fix? typos? was my linking or folder setup wrong?
and
2 what is the DS.store file that's in the folders you sent?

I forget exactly what typos I fixed. I think your hierarchy was fine. Try adding a second card and see if that breaks it.

Regarding DS.store, ignore that. That's an invisible file macs put inside folders and it accidently got zipped and sent to you.

dude thank you.. i'm gonna try adding a new card then I'll repost to update
