[fixed/closed]Deck Builder - Token frames

Korath is already aware of this.
This post is simply a 'to do' reminder with an urgency rating of 'no rush'.

The token frames don't show up in the Deck Builder when the 'ViewAll' parameter in the manalink.ini file is active.

You can override all the other available frames to display the token frame, but the tokens themselves will always display the classic frame regardless.

The tokens work fine in game play through.

Edit: Didn't check all tokens, but those I did check had frames and were visible, so I will assume this is fixed.

The tokens are detected in-game by a data field that's not present in the deck builder. (It's the same reason why, when you make a token copy of a normal card with something like Dance of Many, it shows up in the token frame; and if you Clone something like a beast token, it shows up in the classic frame, not the token one.)

You'd know this better than me - is there any field in manalink.csv that's always set for tokens, and never for anything else?

In any case, if you're just using ViewAll for testing purposes, you can also force the token frame with Duel.dat:[Expansions]ForceFrame.

Yep, indeed there is.

Card Type

1 = Artifact
2 = Enchantment
3 = Instant
4 = Interrupt
5 = Land
6 = Sorcery
7 = Creature
8 = Token Ignore the comment in the manalink.xls files 'Card Type' column header, which shows the Token value as also being used for Animated cards. Animated cards are normally set to their standard card type.
