Cardset Editor
Posted: 15 Jan 2009, 04:42
First beta release of my much anticipated MTGForge Cardset Editor.
DO NOT Download here
http://minstrelplayers.org/ForgeCSE/Set ... Editor.zip
Features include:
- Primary function is to modify card rarity and frequency for sealed and draft mode.
- Attempts to display the card picture, if already downloaded by MTGForge.
- Allows user to modify the card-pictures.txt URL for any card.
- A search button will launch a search in the default browser, based on a configured search URL (gatherer is default)
- The card text can be modified.. just in case you notice a typo... it was a "why-not?" feature....
- All cardset data can be saved as individual profiles... want to play Time Spiral limited? No problem, just load up a profile with Time Spiral cards being the only ones with rarities defined.... This will become more useful when we can actually add the majority of cards in a given block... without having to exclude many of them because the AI can't deal with them... but whatever.
Bugs:
!! Clicking on the grid inadvertently causes the checkbox click event to fire, which changed the card rarities behind the scenes. What's worse, is the wrong card gets changed.
Planned features:
- Track cards from previous session, to detect card additions between versions.
- Add and Delete cards entirely.
- Integrate with my other project, the mini text card picture generator. (I'm doing this first, because it forces me to revise the cards.txt interpreter to pull the additional properties for other features)
- Card picture downloader.
+ Resizable window.
+ Keyboard navigation in grid.
+ Additional card property columns / filtering
+ card list filtering
How to use:
- Browse to your MTG Folder (Location will be remembered between sessions)
- Change some data
- - Double-click the Card-Picture URL label to pop up an input box for the search URL (URL will be remembered between sessions)
- - Double-click the Card text textbox to edit it
- Type a profile name
- Save the profile
- Save the data
All prior files are renamed, so all changes can be reverted easily.
