After staring at this too long I decided its Early Beta time...
NOTE: You need to extract the Wad Files (I figured most of you have already done this lol) I will be adding a wizard in the next release that will do this for you
Also NOTE: This is a beta, and its full of bugs, I have ran it a few million times and it hasn't caused a wormhole or anything, however I still need to give the bla bla, run this at your OWN RISK, don't come and sue me because it blew up your microwave or anything like that. If you are worried MAKE A BACKUP of your MTG directories that way you can restore, or don't download it
Yes it has bugs, Yes it will crash, yes it will throw nasty exception errors and such...
Now for the fun stuff:
Step 1: Download
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3259909/MTGEditor-Beta1.rarStep 2: Make sure you have .Net 3.5 Framework installed
Step 3: Unrar
Step 4: (IMPORTANT) for now you have to manually install the fonts in the install directory, just copy them to your windows/font
Step 5: Run the program (take a few seconds the first time)
Step 6: Click Location and point it to the ROOT folder of where the exe for MTGDOTP resides.
Step 7: Click Scan->ReScan you should see the card list populate, close and restart for the decks to populate this takes 4-10 seconds typically but once done it doesn't need to be done again (Reading from the db is much faster) unless you change addons. If it throws an error about the location, just close and restart, I never changed this so i didn't notice the bug till after I built this..
Some extra tidbits:
1. This has been tested up to expansion 3, however there are some odd cards that may not show up right. I tossed some community packs at it, and they work 90-95% with some strange errors but once I fix all the stuff up to expansion 3 I will tackle the community cards
2. This version has a dynamic created cards (soon to be in the db once created) and it may be slow on some machines... mine it take 1-2 seconds to refresh and can be processor intensive, I am hoping to fix that, but all this GDI+ and WPF graphics takes it toll on our systems.
3. I have included a DB full of fun stuff I have extracted, specifically the files from the other HD card generator which the updates I found here on this site.
4. The cards can be sorted and filtered.
5. If you right click on the grid you can see:
Copy: Copies the values
Filter: Filters by the click value
Get Image: Used to fire the download, still does so be warned, it will fill the pictures db lol
Show all: Shows all the info on the card in a little white expandable box... great for debugging the
6. You can save your deck changes by right clicking and hitting save
7. It starts up as 1021X889 I will be adding the settings to save the size every time, doesn't really cause a problem just kinda annoying.
Otherwise... Enjoy if you see something you don't like let me know, or if you have any good ideas on how to organize things better please let me know. I will upload a new version in the morning with some bug fixed.
So far I have tested it on a Windows 7 64 and 32 system, Doesn't want to run on my text xp
not sure if its the use of themes or double buffering... Adding it to the list.
