ManaLink Graphic Updates & Info

[jackthelad]

Yeah Mocroprose, you w***kers, screw you for making a game that is still playable 12 years after release. Screw you for the years of entertainment you've provided with just this game. I'm fighting the system man. I'm like James Dean.

It was just a suggestion man... I don't even know how to do it.
Besides, Isn't true what i've written in the hacked image? Haven't you downloaded the game, played it, shared it and modded it without paying a buck to its "owner"? As far as I know, that's against the law, and go against the law is, in some sort of way, "fight the system", as you wrote it in a sarcastic way (By the way, i've never mentioned that I wanted to "fight the system").
I wouldn't like to go deeper in this.
Sorry for the bad-written english.

Could anybody please put up a link to the most recent complete cardartnew folder? i just changed computers and it's really annoying to play with blank pictures... thanks in advance for any help, guys.

I found a way to update the graveyard, mana pool, and "big card" images with bmp's instead of pic's.

Can someone upload all the original duelart pictures as bmps, so those are available as options? Thanks.

[mathusalem]

you did ?
well that's great !

what exactly do you need ? what are the "big cards" you are refering to ?

For every .pic file in the duelart directory, I need the same picture in .bmp format. Once we have that, we can go about replacing some of those bmps with your spiffy new ones.

The "big card" I was referring to is WINBK_bigcard.pic, which is the background for choice dialogs. I think I have all the beautiful play area backgrounds working now too, but I can't say for sure until I have all the bmp's.

Ok
first download, the duelartnew folder I did (which is in the first page of this thread) if you haven't. it already has a bucnch of bmp's they have the original names except they are bmps. I will start making the images I havent't done this WE.

Ok, I started working again on the new game skin. so here is an update on the images. I made e few new ones. and I started to process the old pics to turn them into bmps, as you requested, Jatill.
So everything as not yet been done but I think you should find some material for some tryouts.

note that the phase bar may be problematic to have as a bmp with it's original look. The pic viewer used by zombie has cut that particular image which was too tall for the definition of the viewer. So i was able to rebuild the image for my own purposes, but I don't have a full version of the original. (I hope this doesn't sound too cryptic)

I downloaded the new game skin and I like it, just keep working on this I would appreciate this very very much!

EDIT: Is it possible to redo also all images which are contained in the folder CardArt? The abilities, mana symbols, Cardcounters and the CARDBK-files? Would it be possible (for those who like it) to put in the new MtG card layout?

There are also images in the folder DBArt which have to be renewed?

Where is the big MtG-Cardback image? I prefer the Standard-Layout hen playing and I dislike the bad quality of the Cardback, when no active Card is shown.

How do we get the new skins to work or are they not ready to be used yet?

[Juzam Djinn]

They are not ready to use at the moment but jatill is testing a way to implement the new skin designed by math.
