Ask all questions related to RTS here, and someone should gladly answer you.
This thread is an attempt to help keep this forum clean for RTS game requests, while still answering everyone's questions.
*NOTE* The first few pages may seem a little mixed up because I merged all current question threads into this one. So... just carry on with your questions.
-
How do I add the RoA cards and pics to my RTS?
-
when i downloaded the pics from ROA, it wouldnt put them in the card list. do i have to copy the text somewhere?
will someone please help on how to get the new cards into the card list?
-
In the card list? You are supposed to put them in the picture folder.
-
I meant into the list of cards on the RTS Deck Editor......
-
Where can I find this? Can someone link to the download?
Thanks and God Bless, Daniel
-
The Redemption Table Simulator is probably what you want. Check out the "RTS/Online Play" board for more information on that.
-
The cards.txt file is responsible for that. If you follow Daniel's instructions in the RoA setup thread, there shouldn't be issues. If all else fails, you can reinstall RTS and then follow his steps, but I would think that wouldn't be necessary.
-
I know about that, I just wanted to see the Redemption card table that was available b4 RTS.

-
While I don't have any information on that, I'm curious why you'd want to know about that. I would imagine that almost no one uses CardTable for Redemption anymore.
-
I remember it, Idk if the site that has it even is up. I did like its lil probability feature.

Here is the post with everything you need! (http://cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=11933.0)

RTS (Redemption Table Simulater)
http://rts.captainofthehost.com/
-
Some of the cards come with it, but you can get everything else up to RoA here...

-
Ah. Yeah It's just that until reciently, I kinda withheld my name for a while.
However, my first order of business as new mod of this board will be to make a COMPLETE RTS install guide. It'll contain links to every file needed, and cover those who just now learned what RTS is, to those who only have the original install files, to those who have all but RoA.

I FAIL!!!!!!
i will just try it later..... but thnx Lambo!

Read this topic in the guide.
-
You obviously didn't.
Now, once are able to host / find someone who can host… here is what you do.
Press New Game.
Pick your username at the bottom.
Pick your deck.
***If you are the host***
Make sure Host the Game is selected and press Listen. RTS will then wait to receive a signal from another person trying to connect to you.
***If you are connecting to the host***
Make sure Connect to the Host is selected. Now you must find the I.P. address of the host. If the person is hosting without Hamachi, just ask them for it and they will give it to you. If you are connecting through Hamachi, find them in Hamachi and right click their name. The option “Copy Address” should be available. Click it. Go back to the New Game window and paste the IP address into the bar. Now press Connect.
If all goes well, you should be greeted to a hand full of eight cards. Happy gaming!
-
Hamachi is a Virtual Network. It creates fake I.P. adresses for everyone on the networks, so your computers can connect through those.
Its complicated to explain... just use the I.P. adresses in Hamachi and go with it.... >.>
-
Nope, you just use the I.P. addresses it creates to connect to eachother. This helps you bypass complications with routers.
-
Download this file: *removed as it no longer works*
And place it into your RTS folder. NOT, I repeat. NOT PICS.
-
right click and save as.
-
I'm having trouble connecting to the enternet could u help me with that.
-
Hey guys. I'm new to RTS so I have a quick question. If I'm on "deck editor" and I have a deck loaded, how can I modify that deck? I don't know how to remove cards
-
I explained this stuff in the guide. :P
You can double click on a card as well to remove it from or add it to the deck.
-
Double-clicking doesn't work to remove a card for me either.
-
hmm, i was mistaken on the removing part, but I know you can double click to add it to the list.
-
how do i get in a game

This is why I wrote that complete guide.... ;)
-
New here. Signed up just for the RTS. I use to play the game irl long time ago, but there are no more tournaments and stuff around where I live (reasonably). Anyways, I was wondering why the participating cards aren't in the deck editor? For example I have Rhoda from a local tournament, but I can't put it into the editor. And if I can't do that, is there a place that can give me a complete card list so I can find a replacement?
-
Wow, ok I guess my ability to read things in alphabetical order is in bad shape, the card is on there XD
-
I can't open RTS because I am missing a DLL file. Where is this file? Or how do I get around this problem.
-
hey, are there rts files for the new Haman promo and Gates of Jerusalem?
-
Consult Lambo's post for all RTS needs.
-
are there any new updates for RTS and if there are where can i find them??

Hi,
I installed RTS a few days ago and was playing with kirk but we had some problems to view each others cards. I arranged my cards as usual on the field but he said he only saw a stack of cards.
As the game continued I realised the same was happening to me regarding his cards.
We took screenshots of this issue. Anyone knows how I can solve this problem??
thx, ;D
-
What screen resolutions were each you using? I had similar issues yesterday vs Smokey because he has a much higher resolution screen than I was using at the time. A quick change in resolution fixed the problem.
(This is why RTS tells you what resolution each of you are using when you first connect.)
-
He used 1280 by 800 and I used 1440 by 900. I tried changing my resolution to match his, but he said nothing changed. Maybe I should have changed resolution and also restarted RTS to make it work.
We had a great game anyway... :)
thx guys. ;D
-
If my math is right, one of you has a 16:9 display, and the other is using 16:10. Might be an issue there.
[edit] Just realized that I usually use 1440x900 when playing Kirk, and that works fine for us. Perhaps a freak error?
-
Ok, I'm completely new to Hamachi and am wondering how do i get a pickup game...... wheres the chat rooms?....... Whats the main Username that every one plays on??? pls help!
-
When you log in to Hamachi, you will see a little triangle button on the bottom right of the screen. Click on it, and you can create or join a network. If you want to try it out, you can join the network I recently created (name is ProfAlstad, password is Prof). You can also view the list of networks on the Hamachi networks thread.
Once you join a network, you can see who else in the network is logged on. Right click on their name, and you will be able to chat with them. When you want to connect to them over RTS, you start a New Game, click Connect to the Host, right click on their hamachi name, click Copy Address and paste into the IP dialog box on RTS (or you can be the host and have them do the same thing--all you have to do is click host the game and then click listen, until they connect to you.
That's about it in a nutshell, if you have other questions, you can post them or try to find the answers in the help threads here.
-
Thank you. It sounds very easy..... I'll have to try it tonight..... 8) :laugh:
-
Ok I tryed to build my deck on RTS and they didn't have abunch of cards in my deck!!! :( Is there a way to fix that?
-

I can't help with such a vague statement. Which cards?
-
After you add the TexP pics you should have 2084 pics. If you have less, then you've somehow managed to delete some of your pics. I can offer 2 possible solutions.
1 - back up your decks, uninstall RTS. Reinstall RTS. Add the RoA pics. Add the TexP text file and pics.
2 - wait until I have time to zip up my entire pics folder and upload it to the web server so you can download it to replace your pics folder.
-
They were from G and H starter decks, I think.... I'll have to check just to be sure
-
It shows them all in the deck builder, but not on the table.
That is happening to me too.
-
I fixed whatever i was missing but am now having the same trouble as BB and Rowl!! :o Pls help.

Sorry ;D I was kinda tired :P I didn't mean for u to be an owl and BubbleBoy to be ammo! :laugh: :angel: Hahahahaha! ;)
-
Seriously, can anyone help? Everyone seems to be having this problem.
Someone please just say something constructive! :P
Actually, it's working fine for most people. I believe you and two others mentioned that you're having problems. Since it's working fine here I have no idea what you've done different. Can you give some specific details as to what isn't working for you?
-
Ah, I see. That should be an easy fix.
Open RTS.
Go to the Options menu (on top, about the middle of the screen)
Click on Card Graphics
Make sure there is a check next to "Show".
-
It works :D. Thanks
Maybe next time I should look around before posting....
-
Thats HILARIOUS!!! :laugh: Thanks sooooo much :angel: hehehe! What a simple problem :P
-
I have a problem with my Hamachi...I am connected to the ROOT Silver and #-Liner And Bags Of Chips networks...There are lists in each of them with names of people, almost all of which are offline. This is off because on the Hamachi on my desktop there was always someone online. Coincidence? Possibly, but what makes me think it may not be and that I have a problem is that my name is in that list and it tells me I am offline, and I played Smokey this afternoon (so clearly I am not offline) and on his Hamchi it said I was online. So to me it seems like my Hamachi shows everyone to be offline even though some of those people are online. Does anyone have any words of advice or need the problem explained in a clearer way?
-
Hi, i just tried to play a game and realized most of my cards show the right graphic icon but have the wrong descriptions and frankly i dont know the cards well enough for this to be the care lol....
any ideas on a quick fix?
-
Reinstall RTS. Definitely the easiest and fastest way.

You shouldn't need to reinstall. Do you mean that the picture of the card and the card abilities don't line up? That's really weird...
PM me with details and I'll help you fix it.
-
Some of the links are dead.
-
Try this (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=12218.0).

ya thats what im talking about. :P
-
Is anyone else having that problem besides me??
-
i have widows 98 yet i can;t download runtimes or hamchi what gives?
-
Windows 98 is not supported by Hamachi and never will be. You need
XP+ to run Hamachi, sorry.
EDIT: Actually, you can run Hamachi on Windows 2000+ (2000, XP, Vista, 7 [woot])
-
shoot i'll wait till i get xp
-
I can't get rts to use my ip it just keeps saying the ip is 10.000.002 which i know isn't correct. I have gone into Norton and made it so it allows RTS TO connect ot the intertnet and it still give me the smae ip. Suggestions
-
Are you using Hamachi?
-
The 10.xxx.xxx IP range is Hamachi.
-
yes i am, srry i should have inclued that
-
where do you find your IP?
-
Run the Command Prompt and type "ipconfig". It should show up. Since you're on Win98 I'm not sure how much I can help you. :)
-
I'm pretty sure there's a website called "whatismyip" or something like that. google it.
-
Hopefully someone can help me fairly quickly. I'm trying to back up my decks on RTS so I can install Windows 7 and I can't seem to find them. I got to Program Files-> RTS and all that is there are the starter decks. Do I have to do something to be able to view them outside of RTS???
-
Do this:
Open RTS, and go to the Open or Save deck menu in the deckbuilder, then, from there, you can find exactly where you saved all your decks.

My puter got reset because of a virus and I am trying to re-install RTS and hamachi. :'(
1. How do I get hamachi again? (I forgot how I got it in the 1st place! :D )
2. I installed RTS and keep getting an error message--"the cards.txt text file cannot be found!" and I dont know what to do! :-\
Thanks!

1. The Hamachi link is in the guide.

is Hamachi and RTS for Macs yet?

I can't get the zip file to work. I put it on and it says there is an error and will not open.
The error message: this error occurred in "tmr_Timer": line number 20: (err#339) Component 'MSWINSCK.OCX" or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid (Originated with RTS)
I try to delete to reinstall and start again from the beginning, and it gives me the prompt: "someone or something is using the pics and cannot be deleted. (all my applications are closed so it's not me) Also, I can't even move the folder from the desktop to program files. It's locked where it is and will not open.
So now I can't play RTS or delete an unusable folder on my desktop. I would like to do one or the other. :P
EDIT: Nevermind...I'm dumb. (I still don't like the idea that I can't move the one folder off my desktop that has RTS Pics because "someone else is using them" but at least I got RTS working.)
-
Yeah, it sounds like you figured it out, but you just have to keep reading for the extra files. :P
As far as not being able to move it, thats an issue with your computer, and I'm not sure how to fix it.
-

Restart. Windows still thinks that some program is using the files. You'll be able to delete the folder after you restart (which clears your cache).
-
I just used the link for hamachi and it took me to logmein hamachi2 is this the right hamachi? I'm confused ???
-
Any version of Hamachi should work.
@Ring Wraith, you can easily put RTS on a Mac, you simply need to be running the Windows OS and not OS X, either by dual boot or virtualization.
-
Anyone know what the status is of the browser based RTS I heard was coming out?
-
It is in development. More here (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=14238.0).

I'm having trouble getting Hamachi started. I click on the shortcut on my desktop for LogMeIn Hamachi, and after a few seconds an error box comes up that says "Failed to connect to the engine". I need this working soon so I can be in the ROOT Nats Alternative Tourney :( Help!
-
Tithe in the RTS doesn't have the full special ability on it. Thought i'd let you know
-
The new Lifting the curse has a typo in the name...
-
Thanks, 3-Liner. Both of those are fixed but won't be released until the next update is put out (probably around States/Regionals).
-
@Ring Wraith, you can easily put RTS on a Mac, you simply need to be running the Windows OS and not OS X, either by dual boot or virtualization.
Six months later, I might actually do this...
Which do you recommend? I read some of the disadvantages of both, and I'm trying to be cautious, but I really don't know computers well, so I'd like some advice...
-
I can help you with dual booting if you'd like, even though it's a super simple process.
I prefer a dual boot, because it splits the hard drive into two separate drives, and you're not allowed to modify anything on the other drive, so you can't accidentally mess with the mac half of your drive when you're running windows. You can still read files off the other drives though.
-
Download this file: http://66.43.207.54/Temp/cards.txt
And place it into your RTS folder. NOT, I repeat. NOT PICS.
This link won't work... neither will the RoA one.
-
Please check this thread instead. There is only one link you should use now, just follow the instructions found there.
http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/rtsonline-play/**the-official-redemption-table-simulator-(rts)-user-guide-**/ (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/rtsonline-play/**the-official-redemption-table-simulator-(rts)-user-guide-**/)
-
I downloaded everything from there but every time I open RTS it errors "cards.txt cannot be found" and won't let me do anything.
-
You downloaded the .zip, took the folder titled RTS out of that, and just opened RTS.exe within that folder? It should work.
-
It says "the cards.txt file cannot be found!" and doesn't show the field of play after I close that, or any cards whatsoever in the deck editor.
-
You're not taking RTS.exe out of the folder by itself are you?
-
Oh... that would be it. Sorry about that :'(
-
Can this be played on dial-up? And is it on I-Phone or Andriod?
Thanks And God Bless YA!
-
I imagine you could play it on dial up, as its not a very internet intensive program.
No, it is only available for PC (not mac or linux either).
-
Can anyone help me with these errors:
"This error occured in "Form_Activate": line number 40: (err#481) Invalid picture (Originated with RTS)"
and
"The cards.txt text file cannot be found!"
Thanks.
-
The first error is common to all RTS users. It happens when you open the program. Click OK and then everything works fine. It's a problem with the original code.
The second error was addressed just a few posts before yours. Just scroll up to find the answer you seek.
Blessings,
Gabe
-
Oh. That was weird. This whole time I thought I was trying to run it from a shortcut. Ran it directly from the folder and it didn't even give me the first error...
Thanks!
-
You can run it from a shortcut, just as long as you don't drag RTS out of the folder. :P
If you right click on the program, you should be able to create a shortcut. I know you can in Windows XP, but I dont have much experience with Windows 7 yet.
-
Yeah, that's solved now, thanks. New problem, though. Do I need to download an update or something? It doesn't seem to have cards from Apostles, Priests, FOOF/ROA, or TexP and Disciples in it.
-
Did you download an installer? If so, that is horribly out of date, and unfortunately, nobody is around to update that. Also, I'd like to know where that link is so we can get rid of it.
Please refer to this thread for the correct file to download, it is just a .zip folder with an up to date RTS folder. Just take it out of the .zip, run the copy of RTS that is in that folder (not the one you previously installed) and you'll be good to go.
http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/rtsonline-play/**the-official-redemption-table-simulator-(rts)-user-guide-**/
-
Thanks, worked like a charm. Unfortunately, someone whose name I don't remember installed the RTS for me after I kept running into fatal errors trying to do it myself, so I don't know where the downloads came from.
-
The out of date download for RTS is found here:
http://rts.captainofthehost.com/ (http://rts.captainofthehost.com/)
That is the official RTS page it's just not being kept up. On the plus side is does have the download for the plug-ins that people are sometimes missing so that's helpful.
-
Yeah, those additional files are linked to within the RTS Install guide.

the file from that thread (http://97.64.151.67/Temp/RTS.zip) is a dead link for me. Is there anywhere else I can find the new version?
-
Strange, I'll have to ask Gabe why that's down, as he is the one who is hosting that file. As for a mirror, I don't think we have one.
-
Talk to lp670sv about hosting.
-
I sensed a disturbance in the force, that i was volunteered for something. why kittens? just why? yeah i can host it if someone sends me the file
-
Because I enjoy tormenting you... MUHAHAHA!
-
you do realize all i have to do to kill you in your sleep is roll over, right?
-
Which is exactly why I put the cats there.
-

We had storms here and there was a power outtage. That server always needs help getting back up. I'll let you know when I can get there.

none battery back ups are for n00bs
-
Aparently the problem wasn't a power outage (there is a battery backup but it's only good for so long... :p). The web server that was hosting those files has had a catastrophic failure and may not be back online for some time, if ever. I'll see about moving the RTS files to a new server soon. But obviously those aren't my top concern right now. Sorry.
-
once again there is a server sitting to my left. if someone wants to send me the file ill host it
-
The hosting server is back online now. Feel free to download the file. It would be great if you want to mirror it from your server. :)

Hello Everyone,
I am new to the forums and I was wondering how the activity is with RTS. I have not actively played Redemtion since Angel Wars and would like to play with more people since my cousin Andrew (y'all know him) beats me mercilessly, lol. I have RTS with a few quickly made decks and would love to get an evening game.
~Wester
-
Glad to have you on the boards, other Wester! Normally people just type "lfg" in Trumpet Blast if they're looking for pickup play.
-
my cousin Andrew (y'all know him) beats me mercilessly, lol.
You must be terrible then...I didn't know Andrew could beat anyone... ;)
Just kidding, of course. Welcome to the boards!
-
look for me anytime to play
-

Yeah, lol. i'm not what you'd call "a contender." I'll be sure to use the Trumpet Blast, thanks guys.
-
What is the Trumpet Blast?
-
the chat box on the side of the Forum
-
I had to reinstall RTS. Most of the cards are no longer in the deck editor, and the links appear to be down. HELP!
-
The correct link has been up all day. You must have been using an out dated link. Click here (http://97.64.151.67/Temp/RTS.zip) to download the full RTS with all the cards.
-
Oh... okay I feel stupid now. Don't mind me :-[
-
Oh... okay I feel stupid now. Don't mind me :-[
It would help if the whole process was smoother and there was only one place to get stuff. Then maybe it wouldn't be so confusing. :)

I can't host games, help!!

It might be a firewall setting. Are you using Hamachi?
-
Is there a version of RTS with Goliath / Laban promos yet?
-
Is there a version of RTS with Goliath / Laban promos yet?
No. An update with all the promos and the 2011 set is complete but won't be released until after Nationals.
-
Yes, I am using Hamachi
-
Yes, I am using Hamachi
You might need to add Hamachi as an exception to your Windows firewall. A quick google search should provide step by step instructions if you don't know how to do that.
-
Can the RTS work on Mac's? If not is there another form of RTS for Mac's?
Be Blessed,
Bap7 8)
-
No, there is no way to way to play RTS on a mac, other than dual booting or getting a simulation of Windows.
-
Redemption Live will work for macs when it's released...
Redemption Live will be released when Duke 'em Nuke 'em Forever 2 - The Unexpected Return comes out. It's supposed to be packaged with the new REG as well.
-
It ain't snowin in Africa again Bub.
-
I noticed this identifier on The Dreaming Pharaoh is wrong on RTS. The identifier on the physical card is x= Genesis Egyptians, and the identifier on rts is x= Genesis Humans. Thanks.
-
It's supposed to be packaged with the new REG as well.
I guess that rumor was just a rumor. Oh well, at least we got half of the deal.
-
Every link will load for me except the RICHTX32.OCX. It says the files are corrupted. Everything else downloaded so, at this point anyways, this is the only thing preventing me from getting on RTS.
-
HELP! I downloaded everything fine, but when I try to open RTS it says "error form_activate: line number 40" and theen it pulls up RTS and all I see is a white page with all the navigating and editing buttons in the top left!! I have all the cards and their pics but I dont have any of the background, its all white! What do I have to do to fix this?!?!
-
I just got started with RTS and have a few questions. I downloaded the setup exe. someone had created to make installing RTS easier. How can I add the new cards to this if I don't have the zip files? Also, I'm running on a mac and currently using crossover to run the installer, but can crossover run zip files?
A few other questions:
1) How do you find a game online? Where is the "lobby"?
2) Can you play alone against Computer?
3) When I put cards into play it seems I can put them anywhere, so how do you know your putting them in the right spot or not?
Thanks,
Chilaha

A few other questions:
To give a technical description of how you add cards:
RTS gets all of its card information from a file called "cards.txt" This is a giant text file that lists every card, the information to display for it, and what images to load. These images are located in "pics" folder. To update, you would update the cards.txt file with a new one, and drop the new images into the "pics" folder. Whenever the next set comes out, I or someone else could assist you with updating if you need it.
1) How do you find a game online? Where is the "lobby"?
The "Lobby" you're looking for is located on the Redemption Connect website I linked to in my guide. However, that website will be shut down soon. More info on that here: Link (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/deck-building-and-design/redemption-connect!)
Once this goes down, you will need to use Hamachi to connect to other players. For information on this, see this post here: Link (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/rtsonline-play/**the-official-redemption-table-simulator-(rts)-user-guide-**/msg185593/#msg185593)
2) Can you play alone against Computer?
No, there is no AI in RTS.
3) When I put cards into play it seems I can put them anywhere, so how do you know your putting them in the right spot or not?
RTS includes a background that serves as a general guide for where cards go. Table locations is something you pick up as you play the game. If you have a Rulebook that came with a starter deck, there is an image of the standard table layout. (This should be on the online rulebook, but the image link seems to be broken)

OK. Thanks for your reply. Also, I know the game is not Mac OSX native, but soon my crossover trial will expire and I will need to find another way to play it? Has anyone made a wineskin for it and has a link to it's download?
Or, should I just buy parallels or use bootcamp and run it on there.
Does this run on linux?
Also, I don't have any cards yet. I want to get a starter pack, but am not sure what the newest set of starter cards is, could you give me a link to the newest starter pack?
Oh, and I looked a little at the rules and I'm really confused, do you think it's easier to start with real cards first?

The newest starter is the Tenth Anniversary G&H starter (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/redemption_starters.php (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/redemption_starters.php)).

As far as I know, it only runs on windows or a windows emulator. It does run fine on bootcamp, as I run it just fine on my macbook pro. (had to get it for college, installed windows to run my games, never touched the mac side again ;) )

Yeah, this game can get pretty complex at times. I would suggest starting with a starter deck for sure (or at least use the cards found in the G/H starters in RTS)

It also can be converted with Wine just fine.

I don't know how to get Hamachi and I didn't feel like searching through seven pages of posts for help so I am just asking again.
-
You can download Hamachi here (http://hamachi.en.softonic.com/). Everything else should be straightforward for the setup.

Ok, thanks I downloaded it but i will need help setting it up and stuff so I can start a game. I am going to bed now but I will need instruction tomorrow. Thanks!

I'm new to this. And I've downloaded what it says to and tried opening it up but I cant find it anywhere on my computer. Can someone help?

You should be able to use Windows Explorer to find it. Search for "Redemption" and it should find it.

I downloaded the program but am not getting any graphics or cards. Please help! Also this error comes up and says that no cards.txt txt can be found. What does that mean?

Check the folder rts is installed in for cards.txt. If it isn't there try reinstalling rts.
