Cactus Game Design Message Boards

I've add the new promos Shobach, Goshen and Spirit as a Dove as well as updated the TexP release to correct a few errors people pointed out in the original version.

Download the TexP RTS file with all the new promos(!!!) by clicking on this link.

Extract both files from the download using your favorite zip software.

Save the cards.txt file to your C:\Program Files\RTS folder.

Save the pics folder to your C:\Program Files\RTS folder and say "Yes" when it asks if you want to overwrite existing files.

That should be all you need to do.  If you encounter problems let me know and I'll try to help you

Blessings!

Stick-E! ty gabe u rock

Stuck'd

GOshen is the only one that we can use in RTS right not though correct?  because it is the only one that is released so far that I know of.

We couldn't use Haman until after a State and we couldnt use Gates until after a Regional so I'm not sure that we can use them all.  I would like to know when they are going to be released though so I can know when to put them into my decks

I'm pretty sure you just made that up.  

People were legally using both Haman and Gates as early as March when I added them to RTS.  You don't have to own a card in real life to use it in RTS or ROOT.

ANd I was told by Xcalebx that a deck that I made with Haman was illegal when I played it in early April since there had not been a state.  He forced me to use it as a no SA card.

This has been a CONSTISTENT problem with ROOT.  The rules are not clear and too many people have interpretations that cause confusion when games are played online.  We cannot always appeal to a "judge" for a quick ruling on things so it is best to have CLEAR rules outlined about what can and cannot happen that is easily accessed for these games.

So For the Record, ANY card that can be found on RTS at ANY time is legal? 

yes, well thanks for your opinion, but I would rather have an official response to my query.  i.e. someone named Soul Seeker, Prof Underwood or BrianGabe.

Apparently at that time I was told you couldn't play unreleased cards.............................sorry?

So...you actually listened to Caleb?

You are a mean person.

For the record, both Spirit as a Dove and Goshen were added to the tournament application for this fall's local tournaments.

Also, Gabe, the link did not work for me...told me the source file could not be read... help... 

Sorry for the delay.  Everything should be live again.

Gabe, downloaded the file, unzipped it, nothing happened. Don't see anywhere special where I need to save the files as you suggested, what do I need to do?

He answered this in the first post:

Save the cards.txt file to your C:\Program Files\RTS folder.

Save the pics folder to your C:\Program Files\RTS folder and say "Yes" when it asks if you want to overwrite existing files.

My RTS guide has similar instructions for finding and replacing files as well.

I can't get the new cards to work on the RTS. can anyone help me?

Have you tried to follow the instructions?  If so, what isn't working for you?  The more specific you can be the more likely it is that I can help you.

do u have the card graphics for roa/foof/txp???

thanks man. helps alot!

In Him,

Kingsman08

you download the foof cards they just go in with no effort.

I had to switch computers. So I tried this, I replaced my old pics... and now I don't have pics for a lot of the cards. Help Gabe?

Here's all you need for your pics to work:

In your RTS folder there should be a folder called pics.  Inside this pics folder should be all the picture files for RTS.

One common mistake I've seen a lot of players make is that they have another folder called pics inside of the pics folder.  This will not work.

You also have to make sure that RTS knows you want to display pics.  You can change this setting form the Options menu under Card Graphics.

I think what you need to do is copy the pictures from the link at the beginning of the thread into your old pics folder (Don't copy the folder itself, which is the problem Gabe was talking about with folders within folders.  Just copy the pictures).

EDIT: Those pics have disappeared from your pics folder entirely?  That's strange.

Good idea Lambo, I'm gonna try to get the stuff off of my old computer. Thanks. =)

I think you have to right click the links and click "save as," if you left click like normal it won't work and you'll get the page that you're getting right now.

The web server is back online hosting those RTS files now.
