ManaLink Graphic Updates & Info

[0rion79]

Mathusalem, I was wondering one matter... what would you think about reproducing the Balance card art for the win/lost screen? he file is WINBK_Bigcard
I like it a lot but that sort of goblin looks all but neutral Lol!
Anyway, just a bit of brainstorming to stimulate more ideas... if you like it, great. Else, no matter at all!

Ah, when the new icon for Shroud and the other basic abilities that Jatill has included during time??

[gmzombie]

im wondering if you programmers could look at this. i found this in the new magic.c file i made the other day with the newest changes to the code and im just trying to figure out if there is anyway we can pinpoint the code that makes the shell button highlights by all of the icons in the main page so that we can modify them and put in the new background that math made up a while ago...anyways here is where i think the code is. maybe im in the wrong direction but ic ant read it anyways so i just think and look.

Code: Select all

Also i think i found where the info for the deckbuilder is. im running pe explorer to see the disassembled code and there is reference at least to the deckbuilder .pic file. To update this to new graphics can someone look into this. i tried to drop it to C but it didnt pan out that way. gives me some error lines and thats it. Snacko i know you made a new dll file a while back. can you do the same for this dll file to make it easier to update? Or if anybody can just modify it for now to accept bmp files and keep an eye out for the one button that MOK made for the new cards. maybe there we can add some new buttons and link them with a block or an expansion...Get where im coming from. This would be version 2 of the face lift.

Is there a way to have those new duel arts when playing Shandalar single player mode?

[gmzombie]

no cause the game would have to be changed for that and since noting has been changed in shandalar they arent in yet.

A little off topic... So you say that nothing was deleted/ripped of from Shandalar? Not any sound, animation(beside intro and tutorials), music etc? It is still complete version of single player campaign as it would be when installed from full CD DOTP and SOTA?

[mathusalem]

confirmed
nothing has changed in Shandalar
even with the lattest updates the game graphics remain the same

[jhamma66]

So is there a zip of all of the card art added since the original install? I have installed every update I can find but I am still missing art for several cards... like all of the Hondens... what am I missing and is it uploaded anywhere other than Rapidshare?

[stassy]

Should be the 5th post of this thread

[Salbei]

this is outdated

-> check this thread for updated pics

[mathusalem]

just a quick post to update the complete archive of the cardpics. the link on page 1 has been updated as well

if anything is missing.....

[shinra]

Hi,

I take a look for Mathusalem graphic modification and that's a great work!

Anyway, I try to change myself some bmp files like WINBK_Phase but it doesn't work...

here is a pic (very simple but newer than old pixel bar)

Anyone has an idea for implement it?



Mathusalem, I'm french (not difficult to see ) you can pm me

[0rion79]

As far as I may remember, there was some trouble about updating that specific element of the battlefield, that's why they have never been used.
Instead, I would so happy to see new permanent's icons, as Shroud, Rampage and so on...

[shinra]

Hum,

Shroud and Rampage doesn't exist it's true, but implement them require some lines of code...

For the moment, like Mathusalem, I 'm changing some graphical elements, in fact I'm trying to simplify the battle area whis is too colored for me!

Here are some pics of my work, if you are interested
