Gwar's Tweaked ProxyGen (OLD THREAD DO NOT USE)

[skibulk]

Just so people know, it can take several hours to download the database using Gather Downloader. Ark posts a pre-downloaded database to his website after every set release... I'd recommend using that for convenience.

[Strainer]

Could you point me to where I could download these pre-downloaded databases, as I wasn't able to find it.

Edit: Nevermind, just found it: http://ark42.com/mtg/MTGCardInfo/

split crops can be found in Snacko's Mediafire folder.

Could someone point me to that folder or thread that contains a link?

Thanks

There's actually a newer one from 2010, that has some updated planeswalkers in my public folder http://www.mediafire.com/?356is1f25e5py

I can't create new card with createCard.bat with Gwar's Tweaked ProxyGen.



With Snacko original program I don't have a problem.
So can anybody help me with this?

Hi guys,
I have two news... one good and one bad.
The good news is I have finished the XML to HQCG Gatherer downloader converter. It is working fine, I have converted a database and tested it in HQCGenerator.

_XML2HQCG.rar

OK!
The bad one is I developed it in labVIEW language . I'll explain why I did this.
I was doing the program in C but I had problems to write in utf-8 in C. so I migrated to Labview. I thought I could create a .EXE file that could run in windows without labview installed. After I've finished the code, when I generated a .EXE it need the Labview installed to run its application.
So, if you want convert your database, you must install the labview 2010 or later. you can download a demo from http://www.ni.com/

I uploaded the HQCG complete within all patches. Only confgure de config.txt file.

Here is the C code that I was talking... if someone wants done, feel well.

C.rar

Notice that Gatherer.com has a lot of errors in their database. I did all I could do to fix some errors, but there are still others I could fix.
so, when you generate a card and it shows a error, check this card in database if it is ok.

I also have a problem to create new card with joollim program!

[Snacko]

I've uploaded my current sources at https://github.com/Gilfar/cardgen
it contains many fixes I've been talking about and so far only Miracle, Eldrazi, Leveler and Transform (non planeswalker so far). This is missing images, I'll upload them later on so people can easily test via dropping the sources + images over this mod.

I also have a problem to create new card with joollim program!

deicidemilan... the problem is the output folder that you set in config/config.txt
check if it is a valid name or if you have permission to create a folder or anything else in this location.
I have tested it a lot of times before upload it. Put the downloaded file in separated folder.


I have not modified anything in createCard.bat. All modifications I did were in generateCards.bat.

I know that we're using frames extracted from the Duels of the Planeswalkers 2010 PC game. I wonder if anything useful can be extracted from DotP 2013? A quick inspection reveals that game assets are encoded. I don't know if there's a way to hack them. It would be nice to extract HQ artwork (is there any alternate art?) and frames (for comparison). Here's the extracted artwork from DotP2012 Core.

Edit: Resolved Here.

@gwar / @snacko - looking forward to the "complete" update package with images and all!

Edit: Note that the game demo can be downloaded for free. I don't know if all the assets are included in the demo though. I'd guess so seeing that it's ~1GB.

[Snacko]

Is there anything useful in the DotP 2010-2012. I wouldn't want to upload 100+ Mb and find that there is some asset we could update.
How about the plane frames and artworks ?
I'll be downloading your packages later, but your input would be welcomed as you're more informed about their assets.

The artwork is what's most useful. D10 had only artwork assets. The frames in DotP 2013 are terrible with the exception of the MQ Plane frame, attached. 35 of the 41 planes are included in D13; sample attached.

I don't know about 2012 yet - nobody has shared them. Although I read that 2012 has Archenemy support so it may have a frame for that.

See my D10 and D10 extras archives with artwork appropriately named.

@skibulk
Thanks a lot for the planes frame. I think it looks better than what we already have.

I was browsing for the "new" ideas of wizards on the cards and stumbled upon this in RTR
Dryad Arbor
http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Im ... &type=card
It would be nice if someone could do the type dot with all the color combinations, single and dual. From what I see this is the same one as for day / night cards.
Also the new guild symbols will be needed.

[skibulk]

Also the new guild symbols will be needed.

The symbols are different? Do you have a source image to work from?

Edit: That Dryad Arbor is From the Vault Realms, not RTR. I don't think they'll use that design scheme again any time soon.

[Snacko]

Yes all of them are changed and they are in mono and dual colors on cards.

There are some better images at wizards arcana I can't find at the momemt.
