Anyway i've already corrected those fields, but i have questions about purpose of Enchantment fields Enchant Type OWN/OPP.
Should i use Land distruction=2 for landfall effects?

And by the way are there any twists and turns with editing manalink.csv with Excel and saving it ? Because i have allies and other inserted stuff in overlapped ids in 2 files

PS: I've just finished all the cards. I'll upload them when i make corrections according to your answers .

At this point you're more an expert on the mod fields than I am, so I can't answer that question. Are you saying you've completed the entire set?? Did you skip the cards Somacat is supposed to be doing?

Overlapping id's is a big problem - it will cause csv2dat.exe to run into problems. Luckily, it's not hard to use excel or notepad to copy and paste rows and then just change the ids.

[Triadasoul]

That was the point of my questions - does excel reconvert csv when saving it so we can lose some data or not. If somebody already edited manalink.csv and saved it without problem then i'll insert Allies and correct their id's. Yes i completed entire set except somacat's list, already implemented cards, uncodable cards, tokens and Sorin Markov.

That's awesome. How would you feel about doing Somacat's list, too, since he appears to be unavailable.

Also, correcting the id's isn't something I'd do yet. There may be a little id shuffling yet to come.

[Triadasoul]

May be tomorrow, but it would be nice if somacat put a list of what he already done. So here it is
http://www.axifile.com/?3002531 ID (1500-1682, except coded=0) and i haven't insert them in magic.exe

Somacat-
Please post any work you've gotten done so far.

Triadasoul-
Below is a list of additional cards that need to be added, along with their ids and code pointers. Remember, start with a fresh copy of the csv and exe and just add these cards plus the ones assigned to Somacat. All the other cards will be added separately.

Here's a few tips on adding cards to the exe, if I didn't mention them before:
1) Search for a card by id. If there is a match, then replace that record. If not, you'll need to scroll down to the first available 'dummy' slot and use that instead. The "Reserved Information" code is actually very important, even though we don't have a breakdown of what does what. The best you can do is copy the reserved information from a similar card. This slot basically tells the AI how to use the card.

Later today I'll upload all the code I have so far. That way, once you enter a card into the csv and exe, you can run csv2dat.exe. Then you can fire up Magic.exe and actually use the cards!! (if they work).

And what does "Secrete byte" field means?

By the way if someone makes a list of similar cards, or "reserved information" values for the list made above, it would speed the work up dramatically. Cause i'm not orientate well in all cards we already have.

Secret Byte is meaningless, as far as I can tell. Anything works. But it's secret. Shh....

Here's a few handy reserved things to use. They do not have to be very specific for the cards, just general similarity.

For creatures that should be played before combat (ex haste, lords):
000000FF01010001000000

For creatures with pump:
000000FF48010001000000

Cards with mana abilities:
100000FF01010000000000

Cards with sac abilities:
000000FFFF100000000000

Creatures without activated ability:
000000FF08010001000000

I'm not sure what other main categories there are, but that should cover most cards. Worst case, we'll find out when people complain that the Ai does not use the card.

[Triadasoul]

Shh..

I don't think those values covers this cards:
Pyromancer's Ascension, Threads of Disloyalty, Vedalken Shackles,
Umezawa's Jitte, Illusions of Grandeeur, Donate, Might of Alara, Wall of Roots,
Sower of Temptation, Mind's Desire

PS: I've found value for plainswalkers cause it was near the end of the list )))

[jatill]

I don't think those values covers this cards:
Pyromancer's Ascension, Threads of Disloyalty, Vedalken Shackles,
Umezawa's Jitte, Illusions of Grandeur, Donate, Might of Alara, Wall of Roots,
Sower of Temptation, Mind's Desire

What, every card isn't a creature?

For cards where there is no AI decision (ex Pyromancer's Ascension, Illusions), I don't think the value matters.

Threads = Control Magic:
000000FF01010001000000

Shackles = Rubinia Soulsinger
000000FF18010003000000

Jitte ~ Tawnos Weaponry??
040000FF41010002000000

Might of Alara = Giant Growth
020000FF04010003000000

Wall of Roots = Llanowar Elves
100000FFF8010002000000

etc. Like you said, if you're not familiar with the cards, it's tougher.

[jatill]

Here's the code I promised, if you want to putter around with actual cards at all. Not necessary, but it might break the tedium / show you that you're doing it right.

Don't clobber your Magic.exe or Manalink.csv or Cards.dat, though.

here are the pics for the named cards. I´ve used the new artwork for minds desire/wall of roots.
they all got correct ID so you should just put em into your CardArtNew folder.

http://salbei.spacequadrat.de/magic/updates/zCardArtNew2.rar (ftp server is currently not available, going to upload the file as soon as it is back under this url(~8 hours,providers server is moving) // attaching the file in the meantime. // edit -> working now

I´ve also updated the Autotargeting files a while ago ->
http://salbei.spacequadrat.de/magic/updates/TargetsAI.txt
http://salbei.spacequadrat.de/magic/updates/TargetsHuman.txt

so next the next patch is going to have 58 "new" cards ? i´ve really lost the overview by now.
