All the included plugins should work (currently all the plugins have their own menus under Plugins).
The MagicTraders plugin didn't work however I've fixed it and it will be available soon.
Both versions have the same databse and should have the same amount of cards ~10k unique or ~15k when same cards from different sets are shown.

MTGO CSV
Code: Select all
cardName,qty,?,?,?,set,collectorNumber
The values need to be in this order.
Only those values are used, also if you have any quantities already set they'll be increased and not overwritten.

You could also edit the userData.csv directly where the field order is
Code: Select all
Name,Set,Pic,Qty
ex.
Code: Select all
Abjure,wth,,2

Thanks again for the info. I did find that the plugin does download the latest prices, but it doesn't seem to incorporate them into the data in NDB. As you are spending a fair amount of time to continuing development, is there somewhere I can send a donation to help repay you for your time?

Currently there's no donation system in place as I believe it's free software that many people contributed to and there are no inherent costs as server upkeep, however if you really really think you want to donate something could be fixed.

Back to the question about the exes, they're just wrappers that check if you have java 1.5 installed and provide icons.
Also instead of a java.exe process it spawns a named one like DeckBuilder.exe.

MTGO Layout -> cardName,qty,?,?,?,set,collectorNumber
What is collectorNumber? Is this a field I will need for importing my paper (printed rather than MTGO digital) cards?

Thanks again for all your help! Also, if you'd like to PM me your email (unless it's in your profile) I could always use Paypal to make a donation :D

So if there isn't a number on a given card, leave it blank?

Also, one request: Any chance we can update the screenshots on the 1st page?

All editions have the collector number, even if those weren't printed, so it would be
Code: Select all
Air Elemental,5,,,,3ED,47/306

If they're not on the card, where might I acquire the numbers? Are they in NDB's main database?

New rc available. Also a small bugfix that should fix proxy setting once and for all (will work this time!)
See the first post for changes.

I used rc3 and found some problems.

First is something about localization.
When I change card language I cannot view card list in some cardset (TSB, 3rd etc.).
And so, I cannot search localized card in English. I could do it in older version (2.9.6a).

Second is about promotional cards.
Some promotional cards are missing in latest cards.csv although they were in older version (Mutavault in CHAMP Promo, etc.).
It won't matter pragmatically.

Thank you, Snacko.

Thanks for posting that I'll look into it.
The english name is only matched when option "Always match in English" is selected. From y testing it seems it works the same in 2.9.6a
There are still some things not working as intended or features missing since the change of codebase.

Edit:
I've found why it doesn't show some sets... Wizards got lazy and two! cards have the same localized name Frenetic Sliver and Frenzy Sliver and this confuses the Deckbuilder as it assumes two different cards have different names

Updated all the card translations to ALA.
Download here.

Different cards that have the same localized name / overlap with English names have a (1) and (2) added. There are quite many of those in each language even in the same set!
