Update to the client
As I promissed last time, I published an update to the client today. Changes are already described in details in previous posts. A quick recap:
- Lots of bug fixes (including the 3+ players shuffle crash);
- Key indicators in the player tabs;
- Tokens support!
I think the tokens support is a major step forward since it will allow many previously unplayable games to be played!
As previously mentionned, to experience any of the new features you’ll have to update your games and sets definitions.

Hey Jods.
In case you didn’t sse the email, maybe i foound something the can help you to solve the problem regarding .NET and sentinel client which prevents octgn from being installed on windows seven. I’ll paste the 2 messages I found.
Original message:
“Hello,
I try to deploy an application through ClickOnce. I use .NET Framework
3.5SP1. In Publish/Prerequisites I require the entire framework (not only
the client profile) and checked “Download Prerequisites from the component
vendor’s web site”.
When I try to install, I get a message:
assembly Sentinel.v3.5Client Version 3.5.0.0 be installed in the Global
Assembly Cache (GAC) first.”
I found very little information about this Sentinel.v3.5Client assembly. It
is a requirement in the manifest file.
How can I deploy my application?”
Answer:
”
The problem is that even if I requested the full .NET Framework in
prerequisites, I checked in Application tab the “Client-only Framework
subset”. That was generating a link to Sentinel.v3.5Client in my Manifest.
Unchecking the Application/”Client-only Framework subset” solved the
problem.”
Is it of any help to you??
Thanks for the new release !!

NICE! Can’t wait to add all the sets now. š To the forums I go!

@Gaspare (and all other Win7 users):
I’ve tried to do what you wrote.
Now OCTGN doesn’t require the “Client-only .NET framework”, but the full .NET package. This doesn’t change much to most of you anyway (hopefully)…
Let me know if it works better now.
February 16, 2009 at 8:28 pm
No luck š¦
It gives me the same error. At this point I will wait for a bugfix by microsoft, it’s clear that we have a bug of .NET or windows seven..
Thanks jods for the attempt š

Sorry about that… That’s the joy of running beta software š
Use this instead, but please note this won’t update automatically when I publish fixes or new features:

It works like a charm :). I guess that the problem is related to clickonce in some way. I hope that microsoft will fix it…
Thanks jods, you are really da man! š
February 17, 2009 at 3:39 am
Thanks a lot, my friends and I really appreciate this!
February 17, 2009 at 7:38 am
Very Nice.
Thank you jods for all your work. Any hints what comes next?
*hopes for two-sided table and custom counters*

D: I cant update my card sets from megaupload cause apparently im still downloading a file, which isnt true. Is there any other website i can download the patch for the sets?
February 17, 2009 at 8:05 pm
@Kempeth:
*Probably* two-sided table and top/bottom piles manipulations (e.g. view top 3 cards of your library and move them).
@Eos:
Try searching for OCTGN2 on filebeam.com

Cool keep getting better and better. But how do I create a token š
February 17, 2009 at 11:08 pm
You mean when playing or when creating a game?
To create a token when playing, your game has to provide an action to create a token (right-click on the table) -> that’s why you need some updated game definition to be able to use this feature.
That brings up the “Create card” dialog (screen shot available in my previous post). There you can choose the kind of card you want to create (and optionnally the number of cards to create) and that’s it. If this window is empty it’s because your sets don’t provide any tokens -> that’s why you need updated sets files.

@jods: cool cool coooool…
February 21, 2009 at 10:15 am
Thanks š managed to find a link for the card sets. But i still cant see the create card function for some reason. I think my OCTGN is already updated as when i opened it recently, a message popped out saying that it was updating something, which i presumed was OCTGN, but i still cant see it.. any suggestions guys?
February 21, 2009 at 6:33 pm
BoB, what is your OCTGN version (it’s displayed on the first screen) and what game precisely are you using (name, version, etc.)
In order to be able to use the create token feature you have to run at least OCTGN 0.4.0.0 and the game definition has to make the function accessible (generally by adding an action to the table).
February 22, 2009 at 9:04 am
My OCTGN version is 0.4.0.0 and im currently playing magic the gathering. However when im playing a game, when i right click i cant see to find the action for creating a token.
February 22, 2009 at 9:07 am
Only 10th edition has tokens right now, so if you have installed other sets, you wont see any other token. š
Be sure to have installed the last version both of 10th edition and magic module (0.4.0.0 and 0.0.2.1 respectively)
February 22, 2009 at 10:50 am
BoB, if you don’t see “Create token…” in the menu when you right-click on the table, it’s because you don’t have the latest MtG definition.
Look for it on the internet (e.g. filebeam.com) and be sure to take the latest one (currently labelled 0.0.2.1)
February 23, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Cool, i found it on filebeam.com, but its in .txt form… How do i convert it to the file format to be opened by OCTGN?
February 23, 2009 at 12:43 pm
K nvm found out how to change the file extension. Thanks alot guys :D.
February 24, 2009 at 3:28 am
Filebeam keeps saying I’m putting in the wrong code. Could someone e-mail me the 0.0.2.1 definition?
comport9@hotmail.com
Thanks!

A bit of a problem here on install…

This doesn’t look like an install problem. More a runtime one (i.e. the program crashes).
I am 99% confident this is a culture-related problem.
I’ll look at it asap (but maybe not this week-end, I’m quite busy).
In the meantime, if you can: try to change your culture settings to english before running OCTGN, maybe it will help.

(06:06:02 PM) JudgeX: I’ve only run into one problem with its usage
(06:06:05 PM) JudgeX: one.
(06:06:10 PM) JudgeX: out of about 40 games
(06:06:36 PM) JudgeX: and that was… I couldn’t figure out a way to “look at the top 4 cards of your library, put one into your hand, and the rest on the bottom of library in any order”
March 8, 2009 at 11:19 pm
yep, this is one of the next features coming… (When I actually get the time to code something) <_<
March 12, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Hey guys, question: Where can I find more sets of Magic than just the last 6 for OTCGN2? Ideally I’d like to have all 15000+ cards, as I know was possible with the first OTCGN- or is there a way to convert those old card (.txt) files used in the first OTCGN to the new type (.oSc) used in OTCGN2?
