Hi All, super new to this Lackey thing... so forgive me if this is a stupid question. I think I did the install right and this is my screen (attached). Did I install right and there are just no Star Trek games going?

Someone more experienced can correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't think there are many public Trek games. Most often they are pre-arranged and then people connect over skype (or similar) and play on Lackey directly.

That's the size of it. You generally arrange a game with somebody with PMs or by joining an online tournament or (my favorite) hopping into The Dojo to see if anyone is up for a casual game sometime soon.

A deck I was working on now doesn't load properly. I created a test deck and compared the files and it looks like it was caused by a change in set names.

sorry about that, but the <set></set> was a mess among other things.
There are ways to make the .dek into a .txt which doesn't need these <set> and <name> parts.
Either manually or an old plugin version and export it there.

My Lackey plugin is currently displaying Romulan Outpost with the image for Botanical Research. Just updated to 4.0. Everything else seems fine so far.

I've had a couple interactions with the new plugin you might be interested in Eberlems,

1) I put Navaar 34V in a deck but when I load it the image shown is of Navaar 208VP and when I load the deck later Navaar 208VP is in the deck instead.

2) A couple of times loading images has crashed Lackey and I'm getting these two errors loading all missing card images,
Error downloading plugins/startrek1e/sets/setimages/general/nor_ab.jpg
Error downloading plugins/startrek1e/sets/setimages/general/MacoTrainingCampA.jpg
and those two cards won't load the images, maybe the same problem I had with War Council previously?
There are ways to make the .dek into a .txt
A quick 'how to' on that one at all?

1e-lackskillz.exe no longer seems to work with Plugin v4.0. Anyone have any idea why?

since the older .dek files aren't loading correctly anymore, here is a small how to fix.
It won't work for all, since some card titles changed.
Code: Select all
<deck version="0.8">
	<meta>
		<game>startrek1e</game>
	</meta>
	<superzone name="Deck">
		<card><name id="Assign-Mission-Specialists">Assign Mission Specialists</name><set>Trad_Virtual_OTF_Open_Warp</set></card>
	</superzone>
	<superzone name="Missions">
		<card><name id="agooddaytolive">A Good Day To Live</name><set>Trad_Virtual_OTF_Open_Warp</set></card>
	</superzone>
	<superzone name="Seed+Dil">
		<card><name id="HF6_02">A Bad End</name><set>Virtual_b00_OTF_Open_Warp</set></card>
	</superzone>
	<superzone name="QsTent">
		<card><name id="1962rogermarisbaseballcard">1962 Roger Maris Baseball Card</name><set>Trad_OTF_Open_Warp</set></card>
	</superzone>
	<superzone name="Aside">
		<card><name id="calloway">Calloway</name><set>Trad_Virtual_OTF_Open_Warp</set></card>
		<card><name id="comingofage_08">Alyssa Ogawa</name><set>Trad_Virtual_OTF_Open_Warp</set></card>
		<card><name id="123arqologist">Ar-Q-ologist</name><set>Trad_OTF_Open</set></card>
		<card><name id="hmf5_01">Bajoran Shrine</name><set>Trad_Virtual_b00_OTF_Open_Warp</set></card>
	</superzone>
</deck>
draw deck doen't have a heading.
add a "1 " 1<tab> in each row. replace all "<*>" with ""
add ":" after Mission, Seed+Dil, QsTent and Aside.
Code: Select all
1	Assign Mission Specialists
Missions:
1	A Good Day To Live
Seed+Dil:
1	A Bad End
QsTent:
1	1962 Roger Maris Baseball Card
Aside:
1	Calloway
1	Alyssa Ogawa
1	Ar-Q-ologist
1	Bajoran Shrine
save as .txt

Another way would be an older lackey plugin version and export as .txt

Bold text: I respectfully disagree. And making an unannounced change that invalidates all existing decks without prior warning, including partially the deck export as far as I could tell, is not really proper release management in my view (spekaing as a software manager professionally). No offense, you have been doing great job to cover for me and Nava recently, which is really greatly appreciated, but this last part was maybe not perfectly managed - also after apparently seemingly ignoring the PM discussion without so much as a comment back to at least myself.
