Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Wow, it looks like 0.99r is almost complete and ready judging from you checklist. Can't wait to see it out in the wild.

[quote=jorbes]When trying to fix this, I notice the settings are already so it should stay on top. Do you have the latest version? And if so, what OS do you run on?[/quote]

I am running 0.99p on Windows Xp (32 bit).

Now that I tested with the .dck-files in the decks\-directory, the 'Show Card Data'-window acts correctly on top when running OPT in the full screen mode.

I have this humongous apprentice .dec file which seems to break the hovering.

Rename that to mtg.dec and see if you can duplicate the issue with this (it takes a while to load).

maybe its the 4000+ cards causing the problem.
the settings are good, so it should be fine for "normal" decks.
may i ask what the large dec is for?

My collection.

I've saved it into other formats (.dck .mwDeck .dec) but no matter what format, it seems that OPT is not very fast with large files.

Yeah, the deckbuilder was written wayyyy before I even started on OPT, so it's not my best work. Then again, it's meant to create decks, not large collections.

One day I will start on a collection manager, untill then, I would suggest using other programs to keep track of your collection, maybe a plain text file would suit nicely?

I use MTG Studio for collection management. It's actually really good and is still actively being worked on. He updates it about once a month or so. You can save in a lot of formats (like .mwdeck) and it has excellent filters to use when making decks. I use it in conjunction with OPT all the time.

You should mention the significant price tag.

Yeah, I expected this to be out of the scope of the design, so no worries.

I created after OPT a more convenient and faster solution by constructing a predictable mtg dictionary script onto vim. It's equally fast to add cards than OPT's deck editor.

I've looked more into the slow processing of large deck files.
I have made some improvements now, the 4000+ deck loads in a few seconds now and making changes to it also goes at "okay" speed.
Maybe some day I will rewrite the deckbuilder from scratch in an open source project, probably in .Net code, but for now, this will have to do.
