How would you implement a game like settlers of catan in to lackey and if it's relatively easy i might do it this is besides the drawing of the cards.
I'd have to find out how to play it. Got a link to a good tutorial?
http://www.catan.com/ here is the link to the official site but the only thing i am wondering is if lackey can have placements on the grid lines?
The part about Catan that confounds me the most (about adding into Lackey) is the randomized play map...
Catan is really popular, but it's also going to be REALLY difficult to add.
it may be random but that can be solved buy a button to get one of the tiles in the deck out then shuffling the deck so you would have the tiles in a deck is my thought
Just make the Tiles a set of cards with their own zone. Then you can shuffle them and lay them out as described in the rule book. With Lackey now supporting transparent images, all the features required to support vanilla Catan are here... Seafarers as well. Cities and Knights, and Traders and Barbarians, might be a bit tricky. Now we just need some one with the time to make the plugin.
thats why i want to know if you can have placements on a grid as i can do most of the plugin but not the drawing part
It's not entirely necessary. since you are placing the tiles by hand it shouldn't be too hard to lien them up. A generous border on the tile images would also help in that regard.
well for the roads and settlements not the tiles them selves that easy

Uploaded with ImageShack.us (http://imageshack.us) tell me what you think?
edit2: how would i get rid of thos box's that you see in the pic?
update i am just making the difrent colors now and here is the placement and i do say not bad. (http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/373/placementtest.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/833/placementtest.png/)
Wow Gordon nice work. I wasn't sure how this would turn out at first but it is looking pretty good! keep up the good work. I will download and play when it is done. :-)
i did not make the tiles witch made it easy i just had to get it to look right and i need to get rid of the black box's you see.
Gordon I sent you a pm. I might be able to lend you a hand.
Yea the pngs look good. I think it has to do with lackey viewing the image file, and also it needs a border so that it can light up when the item is selected. Maybe an option to hide card borders when a card is not selected would work.
BTW Trevor you are the man! This program ROCK!!! ;D
Yay, One of the best board games :D I like where this is headed
there will be alot of things in the plugin i will not be able to do but getting everything else i can. like the drawing from a single deck i can't do.
I am willing to work with you so when it is pretty much complete I will play it and throw some ideas your way if you want.
that would be good and for now i am just doing the base pulse 5-6 player expansion then i will work on see farers witch is adding boats
ok the settlers of catan plugin is coming along great but the one problem i see is the grid it's self as i can specify the X and Y so i do not get good placements unless i shrink the play field at least this works for the tiles but the settlements and roads it dose not work.
Edit: i got the cards in. (http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/7429/cardsx.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/683/cardsx.png/)
You might want to make the grid small, and invisible, so you have more control of where things fall.
i had it up for testing and even with lackeys grid some people will have it miss-alined for the tiles as i can't change that as of yet.
Looks nice.
English version has better art than the dutch version -_-
this is custom tiles not the actual tiles but the cards are from the game scanned them my self.
I meant the cards. But how's the project going? Need any help?
well i could send you the files so you can get the decks set up with everything working as thats the last thing left to do.
here is the link to the unfinished plugin for thos who wish to help. http://webzoom.freewebs.com/nikulas/SoC.rar

i didn't try dutch version, any big difference?
The PNG library should now come with Lackey. Let me know if you believe otherwise.
it's there in the download but if you use the updater it will not download them witch is no big deal.
Thanks for adding them.
with the addition of the shard card pool i can make this plugin really good. aka making everything a shard pool. i shall update it asahp.

Shared Zones are a new feature. Let me know if you have trouble with it. There may still be bugs with it.
so far no bugs but if i do encounter some i will let you know

That looks right to me. IM me if it doesn't and we can investigate.
Any updates? I'm keen on it.
I'm also interested in creating a plugin for the now defunct card game (now called Rivals of Catan; but drastically different). Starfarers would be nice too.
lackey dose not support hex's well so i have abandoned the project
