Masterbase up to New Capenna + 6.8 GB Full pics [V3.7]

[Joker99]

Thank you for your attention, pangolinz! Should I take all files or just the 3.7? Is the program up to date? Are the post- New Capenna expantions already included or I have to download the script files one by one?

Hi Joker99,

That Masterbase has not been updated since SNC. If you wish to use that DB, you would have to add the txt patches that we upload to this thread, 1 by 1 up until you're up to date. You might want to use Nyanko1's database instead, which is only 1 year behind. You can find a link to it in page 8 of this same thread.

I'm going to upload a new DB, that gets rid of extended arts and showcases, in order to have a smaller card base. I can't give a time estimate, since this will require a lot of time effort on my part. I'm aware of how bothersome it is to catch up through txt patches, specially when you're doing a clean install on your computer.

Hello guys,

Duskmourn patches had some errors. The Extractor didn't obtain the data correctly. All the errors were related to Rooms. Some had their names switched, and some others were missing entirely. Luckily, it can be fixed in a few minutes.

Open Magic Workstation, right click on the faulty card and select "View/Edit Record", then type in the correct name. Only the names were affected, the rulings are fine. The affected Rooms are:

Wrong Half > Correct Half
Slimy Aquarium > Underwater Tunnel
Misty Salon > Smoky Lounge
Hospital Room > Surgical Suite
Drowned Diner > Meat Locker
Defaced Gallery > Painter's Studio
Cadaver Lab > Defiled Crypt
Dim Oubliette > Polluted Cistern
Access Maze > Cramped Vents
Dusty Parlor > Secret Arcade

Once you're done with the corrections, remember to click on any other card, Save the Library, and restart Magic Workstation. As for the missing Rooms, please add the patch "DSK - Rooms". You can use the same edition key DSK and name Duskmourn.

Important: If you haven't added any Duskmourn cards yet, you don't have to do any of this. I removed the previous Duskmourn patches and fixed them. Simply add DSK and DSC that are included in this post.

Reminder: You can find MWS images in my Drive. I'm now using smaller files, so please check them out. Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... 1K-fXFkBQY

Thank you and sorry for not noticing earlier. If you have any questions or comments please post them.

Have a nice day!

Hey there!

A few months ago I mentioned how important it is to have a Masterbase up to date, because text patches aren't sustainable in the long run.

After many hours of work, here it is. I started from Arcanis's version of MH2 because VOW was a mess and I wanted to fix it, and also have the 3 dungeons in the AFR set. From there on, I fixed everything up to Duskmourn.

It's been a while since MWS received proper support. The Sets.dat limit was reached last year, and as a result the Card Filter no longer works. This is unavoidable. The search tool and the search bar still work, though. MWS may never receive developer support again, but we can extend its life even further by creating a new database from the ground up. I'm planning on creating two databases without rubbish sets: One for Modern and another one for Eternal formats.

Important: Before pasting this Masterbase into your MWS folder, please backup your current Masterbase. I cannot guarantee that your MWS will not crash. This database worked fine on Windows 10 and Windows 7. If you come across issues, please let me know.

Reminder: You can find images in my Drive. I will update the rar files soon to better reflect the set distribution of the database.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.

Have a nice day!

Changes:
1) Consolidated Commander sets into their respective Standard set (e.g. BLC into BLB): This was necessary because it helps to save space in Sets.dat. This change won't affect you if you were already doing this before adding the txt patches.
2) Removed extras from AFR/MID/VOW/NEO/SNC. Tags (1) from those sets are gone. MWS will let you know what cards got changed when you open your deck (Don't close the Pop-up before adding them back in). This is going to be the standard moving forward because it makes the database much lighter.
3) Updated newer Adventure cards: Removed the slash (/) from the titles that made it difficult for scans to show up. Now there is a [Adventure] tag on each card, that you can use in the search tool to find adventures faster. Pending: ELD adventures.
4) Added Ravnica: Clue Edition new cards that were missing. You can find them alongside MKM cards.
5) Removed a lot of pointless sets. This was necessary due to Sets.dat limit.
6) Fixes:
-VOW: Removed Innistrad Double Feature
-MH3: Transform planeswalkers and double-faced cards
-DSK: Rooms
-LCI: Double-faced cards
-AFR & CLB: Added Dungeons as cards

Hello! I just added the Jurassic Park cards. I updated the rar file from my previous post. Cards from Jumpstart 25 and Marvel are still missing from Gatherer. As soon as they are available, I will add them too.

Have a nice weekend!

Hello Pangolinz!
Thank you very much for the effort - highly appreciated!!!
Nothing crashed, getting the new base in worked smooth for me. I noticed one thing, dunno if it is of any relevance for setting up the future masterbases you were talking about: I removed all the duel decks & promo editions to get my base leaner. Getting through the editions I saw that AER an KTK were not shown in the window where you can remove sets. The cards are in though, so it did not matter to me.
And then one question about a thing that has always been an issue for me: adventure cards. If I want to get pictures for the adventure cards in, I'm in trouble, because I can't use the "/" in a Windows file name. Some masterbases in the past did double the cards, so there was one Beanstalk Giant and one Fertile Footsteps. If I named the full picture only Beanstalk Giant, that worked. How do you deal with that?
Thanks again, have a nice day!
Domri

Good day Domri,

I'm happy to hear that you had no issues with the database. Regarding your first question, this is related to MWS's internal set limit, which was reached last year. After the limit was reached, two things happened: MWS crashed when I tried to add more sets, and Card Filter stopped filtering. The first issue can be avoided by deleting sets using the Analyze/Add/Remove tool, which is what I had to do at one point in order to add the newer sets. However, for whatever reason the Card Filter continues to fail. I believe that creating a database from the ground up will fix it. There are still lots of pointless sets that can be avoided while building up a new database.

As for your second question, the Adventures are strange, because applying the same method used for dual cards does not show the image. It's one of the reasons why I edited out the name of the adventure, and now only the actual card remains. You can still find adventures through the search tool using the tag [Adventure].

I hope I was helpful in some way.
