When you run the program it should open a window as seen on the main page of this github, at which point you can open the game. It sounds like the window never opens for you? Does it crash? If not my guess is that one of the following lines gets stuck in an infinite loop:
https://github.com/pixeltris/Lotd/blob/b36a5e15ea17142ac7fad729c460c81f3d125066/Lotd/Program.cs#L28 https://github.com/pixeltris/Lotd/blob/b36a5e15ea17142ac7fad729c460c81f3d125066/Lotd/Program.cs#L30 https://github.com/pixeltris/Lotd/blob/b36a5e15ea17142ac7fad729c460c81f3d125066/Lotd/Program.cs#L33
If you are running a pirated version of the game it might fail to load it tries to load data files from the steam folder.
it says invalid directory is it because my steam folder not in the main drive (C:) , steam is installed on a different drive.
It should try to get the steam install directory based on the install path https://github.com/pixeltris/Lotd/blob/master/Lotd/LotdArchive.cs#L381. This registry key might not be on all systems?

thx , for some reason i dont have it ill try to fix it
Do you have the registry key listed here https://stackoverflow.com/a/34091380? This might be a better alternative, I'll look into changing the code to use that if so.

i do have it , why not make so the program ask for the location every time u run it ?
also after adding the reg key this error occurred
System.TypeInitializationException HResult=0x80131534 Message=The type initializer for 'Lotd.MemTools' threw an exception. Source=Lotd StackTrace: at Lotd.MemTools..ctor() in E:\Users\snake\Desktop\Lotd-master\Lotd\NativeScript\MemTools.cs:line 49 at Lotd.Program.Main() in E:\Users\snake\Desktop\Lotd-master\Lotd\Program.cs:line 30
Yea it's probably a good idea to prompt for the steam directory if it isn't found.
Hmm that particular crash is quite difficult to know what is going wrong. System.TypeInitializationException
is thrown whenever the .NET runtime failed to load a type in the code (class, struct, delegate, or similar). Unfortunately it has one of the least helpful errors (it doesn't tell you what failed to load) so I'm not sure what to suggest in this case.
Try running it as admin? Though it should be doing this already. It also might be trying to run in x86 mode for some reason which could be causing issues. You could try changing the project settings to use x64 instead of AnyCPU.
it is as admin because 1st time i run it VS asked for a restart with admin privileges
thats what happen when it runs
okay changed it to x64 and it worked but i feel like some functions are not working
When you run the program it should open the UI as seen on the main github page. You then need to open the game exe. Once the game is fully opened you should be able to interact with the buttons.
the game always crashes
https://github.com/pixeltris/Lotd/blob/b36a5e15ea17142ac7fad729c460c81f3d125066/Lotd/NativeScript/MemTools.cs#L92 This delay might need to be higher (or potentially lower) for you. If it loads too fast then it could corrupt the memory of the game exe which would result in a crash. I need to improve this so that it can detect when it's safe to load.
how much do u think i should put it ?
The delay should be roughly the time it takes for the game window to open (and possibly also the time it takes to start displaying the logo).
It could be that something is just going horribly wrong. I made this tool in my spare time for fun and haven't tested it on anything other than my PC. Sorry if it doesn't work out!
np its still amazing that u took the time to do this its ok if it didnt work ,not that big of a problem
so my game takes 1,5 sec to konami logo , 4 sec to Other Ocean logo and 6 sec to Yugioh logo ive tried all of them still crashes
Unfortunately it sounds like something is going horribly wrong. This tool does quite a lot of things to the native memory of the game executable in order to be able to view decks, start duels, etc https://github.com/pixeltris/Lotd/blob/master/Lotd/NativeScript/MemTools.Addresses.cs here are some of the addresses it uses to do this. And the C program that gets injected https://github.com/pixeltris/Lotd/blob/master/Lotd/NativeScript/NativeScript.c. The only real way of working out what is going wrong is debugging the assembly and seeing what is going wrong. It's not so easy unfortunately.
What did you want to use the tool for? Starting duels? There is this project if you're interested in modding files https://github.com/Arefu/Wolf. Or if you're interested in modifying the save data, the save data file format is documented here https://github.com/pixeltris/Lotd/tree/master/Lotd/SaveData. Or use the save tool in the Wolf project https://github.com/Arefu/Wolf/tree/master/Elroy.
Starting duels , it looked interesting also ive tried Wolf project for import and export not working and it seems like its not gonna get fixed soon
Could you tell me what operating system you are on? I have only tested on W7 x64 pro. If you're using something different I could try the setup you're using to see if I can reproduce the crashes so that I can fix them.
Win10 pro x64 version 1809 build 17763.503
Thanks. I will try it and let you know if I can reproduce and fix this issue (this might take a little while as I set up a machine or VM for this).
np , take your time im studying programming (still bad xd) but i know how much pain it is and how much time it takes , ty for ur time ^^
I installed W10 1809 and unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce the crash. You could try opening the tool after fully opening the game but I have a feeling it will result in the same crash. Sorry I couldn't help!
Yes it works as expected for me. It's unlikely you are doing anything wrong. There is probably an issue with something it's doing with the memory of the game.
after reinstalling the game the tool works fine , it was probably after using Wolf project and unpack the .data file somehow ive missed up something in the files sorry for causing u trouble
Great, yea it could possibly have issues with loading some of the data files in that case. I don't think there are currently any errors which show in such cases.
the view button for what ? and the export button exported deck in YDL is there a way to import decks ? other than wolf project because its not working
The view button lets you view the selected deck in the games deck editor (it will wipe over deck slot 32 to do this though!). Currently it exports / imports to the internal format used by the LOTD game exe (which is different to the commonly used YDK). I didn't get around to supporting YDK files (but it shouldn't be too hard if you wanted to add the code to do this).
i see, ill try to do it
No luck so far
I could add this feature if you want, you'd want an option to import / export YDK files, yea? The card ids that YDK files use are slightly different. Do you know if there is a list somewhere which maps these two card ids together (YDK card id - official card id).
Hey there, Maybe look at the PatchDraft programm from thomasneff? It can import .ydk files into Battle Packs.
I personally came across this project today and invested several hours to get it to work. Programm starts up fine but directly after i launch it my Game stops running. Afterwards i have to reset YGO_Data.toc and YGO_Data.dat to get my game running again. Any advise?
Getting Duels to start fast seems super interesting and it would be ashame if it wouldn't work because of my "not"knowledge.
Regards

YGOLOTDPatchDraft unpack the decks in ydc and even that never got it to work YGO_DATA always fails to load after the repack
Thanks for the card list. https://github.com/pixeltris/Lotd/commit/f072afb3cbe04e5edeba28c3c912f424fa01f1a9 This commit adds support for YDK files. Create a folder called "Decks" next to the tool exe, and add your YDK files in there. The export button now prompts to either export as YDK or YDL (YDL preserves the duelist avatar info, YDK will always use Joey for now). The YDK / YDL files appear under the "File" section of the dropdown list.
There were a few missing card ids using that card list you provided (their names are probably slightly different to the game names, so it couldn't find them). I'm not sure if they matter or not. You can manually add any missing card ids to the YdkIds.txt file.

Failed to find 65 YDK card ids
Afterwards i have to reset YGO_Data.toc and YGO_Data.dat to get my game running again.
This tool shouldn't modify the .dat/.toc files (unless you modified the code to do so). As I have mentioned to @SnakeDeath the tool does a lot of things to the memory of the game exe so it's quite easy to break (crash the game) with little info on what went wrong. I unfortunately do not have any suggestions for crashes (beyond what has already been mentioned here).
working great , ill try to update the list for the missing cards (if i found any that is)
@EyderSnob i can say that the tool works on some versions of the game , the steam legit copy is one of them also ive tried it on 2 pirated versions one of them works and the other didnt (u have to add the reg key manually so the tool can recognize where the game have been installed)
Added the missing YDK ids. The only missing ids are now tokens which you can't use in the game anyway.

@pixeltris perfect
I have installed visual studio 2017 and cloned the repo. Then in the build properties of the file "LOTD.sln" I set the active solution platform to x64 as you said in #2 . Then I successfully build the file, however when I run it with administrator privileges nothing happens. I don't know what I'm doing wrong
