Manalink Update 2016/08/27: Eldritch Moon v2
Posted: 08 Aug 2016, 03:07
(Wizards of the Coast totally dropped the ball by not making this set's code EMO. Totally.)
This patch adds 843 cards, primarily from Commander 2015, Oath of the Gatewatch, Shadows over Innistrad, and Eldritch Moon. The raw git commit log since the January 2016 BFZv2 patch is attached.
Please set your expectations lower than usual for this release, sorry. Several factors have converged to reduce expected stability:
This and future patches can only be installed over a Manalink installation of version BFZv2 (January 2016) or later. You must update to that first if you haven't yet. To upgrade from an existing BFZv2 or EMNv1 installation:
(Note that the artwork links below have also been updated since the EMNv1 release.)
(edit: fix autocard, now that it's enabled for SOI/EMN; updated artwork links; release EMNv2)

Please set your expectations lower than usual for this release, sorry. Several factors have converged to reduce expected stability:
- Gargaroz, who did the C15/OGW/SOI cards, had to abruptly suspend work on this for personal reasons, and I've packaged his cards with almost no checking. So please blame me, not him, for the bugs, which are sure to be legion: they're inevitable when using code that the developer hasn't signed off on.
- The EMN cards were done as an afterthought at the last minute by me, and have received no testing whatsoever, so they're unlikely to fare any better. (This is also why there's comparatively few of them: by the time I began to program them, it was too late to request art for any that weren't already going to be in the upcoming Shandalar release.)
- This is the first Manalink release since passing the 16384-card limit. This required, among other things, a rewrite of the deckbuilder (as mentioned in that link), in which I am only moderately confident.
This and future patches can only be installed over a Manalink installation of version BFZv2 (January 2016) or later. You must update to that first if you haven't yet. To upgrade from an existing BFZv2 or EMNv1 installation:
- If you think you might ever have any interest at all in compiling this yourself, delete your existing src/ directory.
- Folks who like to tinker with things should be aware that this package will overwrite your Manalink configuration (in ./config.txt) and Drawcardlib configuration (in ./DuelArt/Duel.dat and related *.dat files). In particular, if you've replaced the card frames with differently-proportioned imagery, you'll need to manually merge your altered configuration files into the new ones.
- Unzip this package directly into your installation directory, overwriting everything.
- Install the artwork update per the directions below.
- My Portals to Theros distribution, available here.
- Sarlack's HighRes Widescreen & Standard 4:3 Graphic mod, available here.
- The BFZv2 patch.
- This patch.
- The card artwork per drool66's instructions below.
- New cards by set/block | Open
