The per-set picture count parameter is missing from at least the basic lands. I'm guessing friarsol's scripts have rewritten existing SetInfo lines.

Hmm.. they definitely did. I'll add something into the script that adds them for things with Rarity:Land for the different sets.

I pulled a list of cards I updated in r.5510, and began checking the files out. So far, I've found a couple regular cards were affected, but definitely all of the basic lands. The script should keep original SetInfo lines, only add new data.

Foil Cards

Postby mtgrares » 31 Jan 2011, 18:59

Thanks for the work Rob. I think some people will really enjoy using their favorite Shock or Mountain.

And a random thought, most Magic cards have the possibility of being foil but...I don't think its important.

More than likely, the same technology used for overlaying the attack/block and mana icons could also be used to overlay a "foil effect". Whether or not it's important enough to make happen, is a matter of debate. Enforcing the foil property to persist with any given card in deck files or quest collections is something else entirely... why bother if any card could be foiled? However, it sure would be a great bonus for quest mode, but not if easily cheated.
Part of this problem goes along with my efforts to make SetInfo choices to persist in the deck file and saving draft pools. Simple hack, I just put the set code in brackets after the card name. Fine for deck files, but not the quest card pool. This is also a feature that would make quest more interesting... I could remove the averaging algorithm in the pricelist, so that older cards may have more value.

I just submitted the fix for the basic land SetInfo. The only card affected was Abyssal Nightstalker.

I'll try to update the Script once I'm done with the two things I'm in the middle of writing up so it holds onto the old card pictures data when it gets run.
