Nice work. What's this written in, VB?

I have an idea for a program that maybe you have the skills to write. This program would list all the cards that are coded in all versions of Manalink (right now there are 2 versions). Then you can choose which 2000 you want in your own version, now that we have more than 2000 choices. This would be mostly just csv update, but also some copy/paste from within Magic.exe itself.

What do you think?

i put the file (mde.exe) in my magic directory - c:\magic and this is the error i get. i'm running windows 7

Sure, it's possible.

i code in Windev 11. (like vb)

joemuz, i rebuild an exe compatible with windows 7

Megaupload doesn't let me download the file, it says that the file is temporary unavailable...

updated on rapidshare

cool. thanks petitrudy

Nice job... I like the fact that it may be used as an ALTERNATIVE deck builder, because it has some extra function as editing decks that are NOT in the main PLAYDECK folder.
Still, it is far from replacing the old one.

it is nice and looks functionnal. now you have to work on the ergonomy.
at the moment it looks like a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. you will have to change that.

The old deck builder has many flaws but it looks OK. it is old but it's not an eyesore. this is the kind of goal that you have to look forward to.
remember it is more that a working program : it is a game (part of a game) and should be used with pleasure even by people who are not computer fans, so you have to keep the look in mind.



EDIT : the deck that the player is building would be better if it remains graphic like in the old deckbuilder. visually it is better, and it is easier to scan your deck and think about it when you can see the actual cards.

petitrudy, is there a way you can make the cards info box resizeable? i have a pretty big monitor and would like to take advantage of it by stretching it out. as is, it's just statically one size and won't expand even if i maximize the window.

thanks for writing this program. it's a step towards a new deckbuilder!

Yes, for the next realese (this week-end), i will made this.

Thx for your comment, but for the moment my objectif is to put maximun of tools to help you to build your deck, like filtre, mana curve, pre-base deck, and so on...

the final step is the graphic interface.

Actually it is not, otherwise you're going to have to do alot of the work twice. But it is a common mistake of coders until they find out that, damn they got to do it all over again.

you have to think about the ergonomy : there are a ton of Magic deckbuilding tools out there, I mean realy. but almost none is user friendly. if you want yours to be truely better, you have to make it pleasant to use.
therefore you have to think of how things will be presented to the user.

Deckbuilder like Forge or official MTG is nice functionality side, but it lack the visual the original MTG game had

Preview of the next release...

That interface looks damn nice I hope your able to pull off a really functional version.

Amazed no one is throwing some props your way with that type of work.
