Please read this note completely.
The Cards' Counter for En Garde will count the cards for you. Each time a move is made it will add an “X” symbol in front of the corresponding card's number. As there are only five cards of each kind, at the end of each turn you will be able to have a quite fair idea about the hand of your opponent.
In this version, you can not only use it as a HUD, but also rezz it in-world. It will detect in what mode it is being used (either "rezzed in-world" or as a "HUD") and automatically assume the position, size and rotation needed.
Now, the counter WILL RUN in lands set to block scripts (as HUD).
NOTE: You MUST enter the land already wearing it for this feature to work.
Instant, free of lag textures.
“Remaining Cards”
At the bottom right corner of the Cards' Counter for En Garde there is a number. UNLIKE En Garde’s HUD, this reflects the actual number of cards still in the deck, EVEN DURING “parries”, so it will be much more accurate than En Garde’s Remaining Cards display.
Colour Code:
The colour of the symbols in the Cards' Counter for En Garde will change according to the number of cards still in the deck, serving as a “warning” for you to start preparing and executing “Last Second Attacks” (LSA).
From 15 to 7 cards remaining: WHITE
From 6 to 3 cards remaining: YELLOW (start preparing your LSA)
2 cards remaining: ORANGE (next move will be LSA time)
1 card remaining: RED (time to execute LSA!)
0 cards remaining: BLUE (there are no more cards in the deck, the turn is about to finish)
Sounds:
1 - Six steps distance, start to build LSA: A low pitched sound lending some "tension" to the scene. :)
2 - Two steps distance: A "plink" sound.
3 - One step distance: A bit louder bell sound.
4 - Invalid card announcer: A low pitched ship's whistle like sound, played quite loud.
3 minute time limit warning:
As you know, if your opponent crashes or leaves the game for any reason, the game allows him/her to come back within a time limited to three minutes. If you don't want to win by default and your opponent doesn't come back you need to jump off the game before those 3 minutes run out. No worries any more: Your En Garde Cards' Counter HUD will let you know when there are 30 and 15 seconds left before the time expires.
And MANY other features. Please read the PDF Instruction's Manual for full information.
All Counters version 2.01 (but NOT 2.02) will be upgraded for free. Unfortunately this will have to be done manually. If you are the owner of a 2.01 version please contact me in-world.
If you don't need all the features this version is offering you can still acquire version 2.02, it is less expensive but it lacks some of the features mentioned above and it can only be used as a HUD. Anyway, it continues to do the great job that established our quality standards among users since years.
Disclaimer: This counter will NOT work on "muted" pistes.
NO REFUNDS for no matter what reason!
You have been warned :)

This is one great counter
This is a great counter ( I've had two others before). No wonder those pistes that choose to mount a counter, always choose this one.
I love it because it's fast and accurate. Nothing more irritating than waiting for your counter to register the last move. This counter has no lag! Seriously.! None.
it even works in no script zones if you are already wearing it.
that's the good news.
The even better news is the helpful hints it gives you. I don't know if you're ever forgotten the LSA, but I kick myself around the piste when I do.
This counter changes color, sounds different alarms and sends warning texts as the LSA approaches. OK, so I still forget sometimes but that's not the counters fault!! I'm just really stupid.
I also like menu to manage my choices.
I've been using earlier version for years and nothing comes close. This is the premier counter and everyone else seems to think so too! but most important: It's fast and it works ——— all the time!
