I've updated the FELDB with the new expansion, you can download from
here:
http://member.rpg.hu/bala/FELDB.zip
If you use the Inventory, please make a copy from your vtes.db, and
Export your inventory before update.
After update you can import your inventory.
Sorry for this inconvenience. :(
But, good news, you can see during the filtering the card's picure.
You should download a zip file from here: http://feldb.extra.hu/pictures.zip
then unzip to a new directory called "pictures" in Your FELDB
directory.
Then in the properties menu you can turn on the picture-showing. :)
If you have the pictures of the new cards, please send it to me. (they
are missing yet)
If you hava any problem or question feel free to ask.
regards,
Bala
Great work!
Yes, it is !
Just a few things I noticed with a (very) quick browsing : Alan Sovereign
Adv's picture us smaller than the rest, and I guess you know that the LoTN
pictures don't appear yet.
Good job though.

Hi there.
Nice work with FELDB; my playgroup use this software almost
exclusively. ;-)
Two questions/comments:
1) Since we have a new card type ("aim"), you might want to add it to
the Library Filter "by CardText" to help us sort them out of the
regular combat cards.
2) I often notice typos and such in the card text. Not a big things,
but bothersome at time. How is the DB built? So that I might edit
those typos when I see them and, eventually, send you a corrected
one. ;-)
Thanks for the good work, and regards,
Fred Genest
This works so well - congratulations! well done.
both of fred Genest's comments i agree with - also notice the
occasional typo.
great work!
thanks again!
I always use this program. It rocks!!!!
The pictures are a great feature added too.
Here is my bug of the day though:
Swiss Cut (master card) requires........ Animalism??? LOL
Great work!
Anyway, Fred, you want to modify the database directly?
if you go to the SQLite website, you can download the sqlite3.exe,
then you can do it.
Or, if you send me the corrected text, I'll put it into the
database. :)
Thanks,
Bala
So is it just me who downloads the FELDB.zip file or the vampire.zip
file from either site and then doesn't get any LotN cards showing up?
One bug I noticed: if you spin the wheel on your mouse causing the backlit
line to go up or down, it will show the wrong picture. It shows the picture
of the card that was just backlit before, not the current one.

It still seems to have all kinds of problems loading & building Imbued decks:
1) I could load an imbued deck I'd saved using a previous version. It
threw up an alrert: "range check error".
2) At times (I couldn't figure out what triggers the problem; sometimes
it happens, sometimes it doesn't), it would show no library cards I added
on either the list of library in the lower left quadrant nor the categorized
list on the right hand side. Having Imbued in the crypt was always involved
in some way.
3) When adding Conviction and Power cards, the counts - both in the margin
next to the filtered display of library cards and on the RHS categorized display of
library cards, were wildly off. You'd add one card and it would show an increase
of 3 or 6 or 10 it seemed like. This may be related to the range check error
in #1. If this wildly-incorrect count got over 255, it wouldn't let you add any more
conviction or power cards.
If you like, I could E-mail you a .eld file which demonstrates the non-loading
problem.
Fred
I noticed that most vampires that have an ADV, have the same picture
for both versions, Count Germaine for example. Also, quite a few have
a "small" picture as was already mentioned about Alan Souvereign.
Keep up the amazingly good work, though!

happy that this DB -does- actually contain Zoo Hunting Ground

This picture version rocks :)
Good work fellas!

thank you all the nice words and the emails. :)
I'll try to get do my task as soon as i have time.

It really is a classy bit of software, the picture version is a joy to
build with and is great for me learning a few of the new sets. Nice
one and thanks.

For those people (Like me) who have dial up, could the picture zip
file be chopped into a dozen smaller pieces for easy downloading.
Raille
you can get download manager software for that sort of thing. with
auto-resuming and bandwidth allocation settings and stuff.
I use one called FlashGet (although i am on adsl2+, but i have been
using FlashGet since i was on dialup)
Don't see why not as the DL contains all the separate jpegs and is
around 1.2meg iirc. Almost better to ask to get a copy burnt on a
couple CD's by a pal or something though as that would take a loooong
time even broken into chunks.
Good luck, its worth it :o)
If the Imbued are broken it´s at least fair that the software be broken
as well :)

Great tool, the best in functions.
Only thing is, the database is littered with mistakes. As I
understand, this is due to manual input. Any way to change the
database system, so as to acoid these mistakes?
What mistakes? Send an email to Bala and he will fix the mistakes and
update the database. He usually does a DB update every month (HINT HINT:)
so your help is greatly appreciated.

Here is what I've encountered with the last set.
Searching for rare and LoN give results that include commons and
starter only cards. Basically any card that lists the letter 'R' in
the set shows up in the search results.

ps finnally got the picture file downloaded.
thanks Salem!

you're welcome!
Neither Jamal nor Thucimia are flagged as "titled" vampires.
Most if not all vampires from the set suffer from spacing typo's. For
instance Jamal's special has text missing spacings, and numerous other
vampries as well.
Can't speak about library cards, since I didn't check those.
It's not a big deal, but it's highly irritating.
I don't care who you are, that there's funny!!! :-) :-) :-)
Another problem: I stored deck with 2 Bertrand d'Anjous.
Then, when I read the deck back in, they're gone, and another
vampire has an extra copy.
