Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Unfortunately the card id changer is not completely ready (though I guess in no time it will), and from the log you can see many decks using the cards causing trouble. My whole 1000+ deck is now shared with updated and non updated deck so I can't sort them yet.

I also plan to make a proper post in the Deck thread instead of putting the whole deck pack, because there are many "try and error" test decks in it, which will update all contributors deck (original shandalar decks, updated original shandalar decks, challenge decks, tournaments, etc...).

Update the ID-changer.exe again. Now option to change cardname in the name you have found in Manalink.csv
See 2th post. Enjoy

Another update:
When selecting listbox:
Old Cardname filled
New Cardname filled with value csv for old ID.
When replacing : option to lock listbox. That way you can iterate through listbox when replacing cardnames
This way you can get rid of typo's easily

Sorry I don't quite get this one :p
For exemple, I have Kongming, Sleeping Dragon :

Old id and old name
1512 Kongming, Sleeping Dragon

New id and new name
1592 Kongming, "Sleeping Dragon"

If I fill the infos like that :


The name change but not the id, the id change doesn't work if I do a whole rebuild too.

Edit: Ok seems to be my example was an exception, it work for all cards with added special char like El-Hajjâj (the letter a is replaced by â)

It make the renaming a bit more harder because you cannot really macro on the whole reformatted name list

lol, no. it is for cases like Ifh-Biff Efreet, which has the same Id but is spelled differently
Oops, didn't see your edit-part. You already figured it out...

It make the renaming a bit more harder because you cannot really macro on the whole reformatted name list

What do you mean?

Because we still have to manually enter the old name and the new name to convert, and from my last log there is around 100+ entry to correct manually

I think the best would be to make a list of all cards with special characters before and after the beta2k+ update so a macro would compare both and update the old ones, still some work is needed to create the list, going to work on that asap

can't you run the program with the old csv to change the cardnames into the csv-names and then run it again with the new csv to get the correct id's?
Assuming that the Full Name in the old csv is exactly as the new csv...

Hum how do you run it with the old csv? Replace the Manalink.csv in the magic_updater with an old one?

The program looks for the manalink.csv in the Magic-rootfolder

Omg I just found out how to do it

- Select Start Rebuild first to get the list of error
- Select the line in the error list which contain the card you want to change, both the old name and new name will appear on the right and you can tick lock listbox then Replace all names instead of typing the whole cardnames



There is still some issue, for example Kong Ming, "Sleeping Dragon", will be seen as Ponder (prolly because Ponder id is now 1512), the name is completely different and the id of Kong Ming is not changed.

lol, i thought i had the working explained in the post with the downloads.
I hope you can convert your decks now, coz i really like to have them too
In case of KongMing, Sleeping Dragon and all cards with the same issue:
- copy an old manalink.csv in the magic-rootfolder
- run Id-Changer to correct names in the way you just found out
- copy new manalink.csv in the magic-rootfolder
- run Id-changer to correct Id's
or
- search the name by yourself in new manalink.csv
- copy that name in Old Cardname
- replace cardnames

I'm confused about the whereabouts of manalink.csv. Do we still need it in the root magic-folder or only in the magic_updater folder? If the latter is the case, i'll modify the Id-changer, coz now it looks in the root folder...

Edit:
The clean install from GCSMtG (mentioned here http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5897&start=30) has a csv separated by ',' instead of ';'
So i had to change the Id-changer again.
While i was at it, i changed the folder where it searches for manalink.csv.
Now it searches for the manalink.csv in magic_updater

Ha!
I was just about to post my little program to auto-correct PlayDecks against the Manalink.csv... I had no idea someone else was already doing it. I'll still post it, but the point may be sorta moot. ^_^

Nice lookin' app, I'll check it out just as soon as I finish this...

OK, I got it to work! I ended up downloading the source code file and I found the ManalinkDeckRebuilder.exe program in \bin\debug. I put my playdeck folder and manalink.csv in \debug and ran the exe, and it replaced the ids in all of my .dck files, except for a couple dozen cards that got renamed; no big deal. Thanks!

*cough* I guess any old timers who struggled with the 1st wave of cards replacement would want to have such app *cough*

You can also post your, the more we have the more choice we have.

Dave>Even if the name/id is correct, the card id changer still consider Kongming, "Sleeping Dragon" as invalid and ask to change to "Kongming, ""Sleeping Dragon"""
There are a few cards left that cause issue now, mostly Avatar (but not all, dunno why) and some cards that conflict with filler card like Sof or Empty.
