Archenemy Bolas is being worked on now (all schemes and around a quarter of regular cards are done) so should be done fairly soon. Commander Anthology, like the previous two anthologies, has a lot of cards but will be on the low end of the priority list so might still take awhile.MaxMtg wrote:Any ETA for Archenemy Bolas and Commander Anthology?
There's some natural variance in this as sets are sourced from different scanners and the cards themselves are subtly different per set or per printing company. That said, this set does look like it's got a little spare space at the white end of the color curve. I'll take another look at it.brainfuck wrote:Thanks a lot!
I have spotted a huge problem with HOU set: the contrast is dramatically lower than in a previous set.
You can actually get this information directly from the Scryfall API, which is the same source I'd be using to pull it anyway. (Similarly, for this and future releases the card images are named directly from the Scryfall database, which I believe syncs the card names with Gatherer.) I could probably throw something together to pull the list of only those values but it might be easier to just set up a query yourself.Would you consider providing additional file with multiverse id mapping?
From what I can tell (I've looked at it on two monitors but they aren't color calibrated), your modified versions all have basically just their blacks crushed. It may look better to your eye (that's subjective), but there's detail lost in darker areas.brainfuck wrote:I have spotted a huge problem with HOU set: the contrast is dramatically lower than in a previous set. I have used ||http : // registry . gimp . org/node/23499|| to bump each card's contrast by 25 points to match the previous ones. Once you have a script in place it takes few second to fix whole set. You may compare:
Yeah, Amonkhet -> Hour of Devastation is a little awkward because the former was made from WotC survey images while the later was scanned; it results in our final images looking more different than they typically do between two sets of the same block. I suspect we'll be back on scans for future sets so that particular issue wouldn't arise again in that case.brainfuck wrote:Ok, I will definitely not argue about that issue. As I look at older sets, it does not bother me so much - the current HOU is much alike the older ones. And to be precise I am using anti-glare monitor. But in comparison to Amonkhet, colors seemed simply less vivid (even only by comparing black frame), so to please my aesthetics I bumped the contrast.
In that case I'm not quite sure what you're looking to accomplish. All the card image names for upcoming releases will be set directly from Scryfall's database, and they store the Multiverse ID -- so you could use the output of their API to compare the file names directly with the Multiverse IDs, or to generate the list you described.About Scryfall API: I will check it, but normally I have been working with raw mtgjson database. In fact first thing I do is to convert all names to multiverse id and serve them by django cache. In the end multiverse id is truly unique identifier which also works pretty well with other languages (you may check below simplegatherer with side-by-side language variants).
