Help needed (images and data entry)
by jatill » 25 Jun 2010, 12:13
Hi friends. I am planning on adding some new cards soon, but I could use some help. First, here are card images I need for my next release.
Sarkhan the Mad
Extripate
Nostalgic Dreams
Urza's Bauble
Haunting Echoes
Quicksand
Stoneforge Mystic
Sign in Blood
Perish
Emrakul, teh Aeons Torn
Gideon Jura
Kazilek, the Butcher of Truth
Stroke of Genius
Chainer's Edict
Trygon Predator
Creakwood Liege
Eldrazi Conscription
Warpath Ghoul
Goblin Tunneler
Also, I could use some help with the card editor data entry for cards. If anyone knows how to do this and can spare some time, please let me know. I enjoy coding cards, but I hate doing the data entry. So if someone will do some of that work for me, we can expect a wave of new cards in the next month. Thanks in advance.

I am willing to learn the card editor, Data entry is ass, I know from experience, but if it's for new cards for manalink, I'm sure I can grin and bear it 
I'm assuming everything I need for this is on the wiki?

Some, but some is just going to be learned from experience. The level 0 tutorial covers the most basic stuff, and that's on the wiki. The main trick is to find the most similar card to the one you're adding, and just copy it. Then you don't need to worry about the tricky fields like reserved information. If you want to give it a start with some few easy cards, here's the first group I'd like to code:taron wrote:I am willing to learn the card editor, Data entry is ass, I know from experience, but if it's for new cards for manalink, I'm sure I can grin and bear it

I'm in favour of anything eldrazi-themed
Timmy likes big eldrazi, Johnny likes comboing eldrazi, and Spike... well he likes Oath of Druids

Hm. Started working on the Eldrazi Spawn token and a Nest Invader, and got an error when running csv2dat.exe "ERROR at offset 0xD8B24!".
Trying to nut out what caused it.

You'll get an error like that anytime you enter invalid data. Unfortunately, there is no way to debug where the error came from. Usually you entered a non-number into a number field, or entered something like 08 when you really needed 8, etc. Best way to fix is roll back and try againtaron wrote:Hm.

This error also happens if you reuse an id, or go past 2000, I think.

I did entry 1999 and 2000 for use of the Token and Nest invader, because I'm not sure what we want to replace.
Edit:
Oh wait, I found some blank entires, from 901-908.
I will try make use of them. And I will leave out the Eldrazi token for now, seems a little more awkward, though I have some ideas on what to borrow the ability from.

Don't worry about what to replace. I'll use My2000 to take cards from your version and stick them where I want them.taron wrote:I did entry 1999 and 2000 for use of the Token and Nest invader, because I'm not sure what we want to replace.

Hm, seem to have gotten the same error. Going to wipe the whole thing and start from scratch. Been following the tutorial + double checking everything.

If you get stuck again, you can send me your csv and I can probably figure out which field is in error.taron wrote:Hm, seem to have gotten the same error. Going to wipe the whole thing and start from scratch. Been following the tutorial + double checking everything.

Are you making any progress taron, or have you given up? I have most of these cards coded now.

I also tried to make a card and I failed too.
First attempt, by following the level 0 tutorial, I got problem withe the step "Now for the odd part. Search for the card with the ID one less than your card's ID. Scroll down one more spot on the left and you should see 'Dummy'. Singleclick 'Dummy'. "
When I scrolled down, it wasn't a Dummy slot (and after that I hadn't any error message but I couldn't create the card).
Second attempt, I tried to directly replace Megrim by Liliana's Caress, but I had the same error than Taron when running csv2dat.exe "ERROR at offset 0xD8B24!".

I reused the same ID than Megrim, perhaps the problem come from here ? Tonight I'll try using one of the blank entries from 901-908 noticed by Taron. (I tried with 1999 in my first attempt, perhaps this ID isn't a good choice ?)This error also happens if you reuse an id, or go past 2000, I think.
