[Mythos CCG][1] plugin for [GCCG][2]

# NEWS

#### 2015-01-29 test server shutdown

I've shutdown the markferry.net Mythos and Cthulhu test servers.

#### 2012-03-05 [Install Mythos.bat][3] updated to fix fonts packages.

While I'm not certain, I presume the "fonts-windows" package was merged with the "fonts" package but the install scripts for Windows weren't updated. Thanks to Paul Dubé for pointing this out.

#### 2011-12-13 mythos-data package broken and fixed

It seems the mythos-data-11072901.tgz file was broken. I've pushed an updated version (11072902).

#### 2011-10-28 new packages

As of mythos-0.3.1 and mythos-data-11072901 (released 2011-10-28) I've rearranged the packages:

*   mythos has core files and free graphics 
*   mythos-data contains only the xml card data 
*   mythos-graphics contains the non-free graphics

# Quickstart Linux

cd gccg
    ./gccg_package source add http://markferry.net/gccg/
    ./gccg_package install mythos mythos-data
    ./ccg_client --server markferry.net mythos.xml

# Quickstart Windows

## From the Desktop

1.  Save [Install Mythos.bat][3] to your GCCG directory and run it 
2.  Save [Mythos.bat][4] to your GCCG directory and run it

## From a Command Prompt

cd gccg
    perl gccg_package source add http://markferry.net/gccg/
    perl gccg_package install mythos mythos-data
    ccg_client --server markferry.net mythos.xml

# Package Installation

<http://markferry.net/gccg>/

*   mythos: client 
*   mythos-data: card data 
*   mythos-graphics: optional non-free graphics (40MB)

## Linux Installation

./gccg_package source add http://markferry.net/gccg/
    ./gccg_package install mythos mythos-data

### Non-free Graphics (40MB)

./gccg_package install mythos-graphics

## Windows Installation

### From a Command Prompt

*   Follow the [instructions][18] to unzip GCCG and run the Install.bat, select Mtg without cards (or any other game you like, for that matter). 
        perl gccg_package source add http://markferry.net/gccg/
        perl gccg_package install mythos mythos-data
        perl ccg_client --server markferry.net mythos.xml

### From the Desktop

Hm, since Mythos isn't in the current release of GCCG it's a bit of a chicken and egg situation providing an easy way to install it. But try this:

#### Install

*   Download [Install Mythos.bat][3] 
*   Save or copy it to your GCCG directory and run it.

If you can't download .bat files then you can create it manually instead:

*   Copy and paste the following into a text editor: 
        perl gccg_package source add http://markferry.net/gccg/
        perl gccg_package install core client fonts windows32 mythos mythos-data

*   Save the file as "Install Mythos.bat" in your GCCG directory and run it.

#### Run

*   Download [Mythos.bat][4] from github. 
*   Save or copy it to your GCCG directory and run it.

If you can't download .bat files then you can create it manually instead:

*   Copy and paste the following into a text editor: 
        @echo off
        set HOME=C:
        set USER=Windows
        set CLIENT=.\ccg_client.exe
        if exist .\home set HOME=.\home
        if exist module_windows32\ccg_client.exe set CLIENT=module_windows32\ccg_client.exe
        start %CLIENT% --server markferry.net --user %USER% %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 mythos.xml

*   Save the file as "Mythos.bat" and run it.

# Playing

*   At the start of a game you're prompted to select the investigator you'll be using 
    *   It's your own damn fault if you remove-from-game all your investigators 
*   **Ctrl+PgUp** puts a card on **top of your Story Deck** (from 0.2.4 onwards) 
*   **Ctrl+PgDown** buries a card at the **bottom of your Story Deck** (from 0.2.4 onwards) 
*   **"+x"** or **"-x"** or just **"x"** modifies your SAN 
*   **"/ap x"** modifies your adventure points 
*   **"/pass"** announces a Pass (but does little else for now) 
*   It seems easier to leave your current location in play rather than on top of your story deck - for walking, gate status, clearing your story deck when completing an adventure, etc.

# Source

## Client & Card data

Git [browse][21], [repo][22]

This git repo is a super-project containing:

*   a subtree (core/) which syncs with [gccg SVN][23] on sf.net via git-svn. 
*   a submodule (mythos/) which links to the non-free data repo below

## Optional non-free data

Git [http repo][24] (read-only)

If you think some of the graphics look weird it's because they had to be recreated from the "cleaned" images that were available - using ImageMagick to merge in the text from the card database.

# Testing

*   There are 1, 2, 3 and 4-player tables running on the server

## Client only

./ccg_client --server markferry.net mythos.xml

## All modules

*   Note that the factory server depends on scripts from SVN after 2011-05-20

./Server factory-mythos    #1
    ./Server meta-mythos    #2
    ./Server --server localhost --players 1 mythos    #3
    ./ccg_client --server localhost --user some-username mythos.xml    #4

1.  Start the factory server 
2.  Start the meta server 
3.  Start a game server for 1 player 
4.  Run the client to connect to the local mythos meta server as user <some-username>, don't load graphics
