Help needed (images and data entry)

[jatill]

The tutorial was out of date, since it assumed there were free slots still. I just updated it.

Thank you Jatill, I'll retry tonight with this new version.

Appreciated. Also add Searing Blaze and Arbor Elf to the list. Those and all of the original cards listed are now coded, awaiting data entry and pictures.

I tried again yesterday replacing Megrim by Liliana's Caress.
The new first step in the tutorial was useful, my files were indeed corrupt. I applied again the last update and run csv2dat.exe : no more error message. Good.

After that I followed the tuto step by step, created Liliana's Caress with ID 1082, saved it, run csv2dat.exe without any error message.
But when I launch Magic.exe, the card doesn't appear in the deckbuilder, there's still Megrim. I don't understand why. I checked in manalink.csv : Megrim is out and Liliana's Caress is in with the correct ID. I run My2000 : Liliana's Caress is present too, I can manipulate the card without problem. But when I launch the custom version, it's still Megrim and not Liliana's Caress which appear in the builder.

Did you close the editor and run csv2dat.exe when you were done?

[Yggdrasil]

Yes.

[jatill]

Yes.

Can you send me your files so I can see what's up?

[Yggdrasil]

I'll do this after work.
Manalink.csv, Magic.exe ...
Do you need something else ?

[jatill]

That's all

[Yggdrasil]

It works !
I just checked in SkyMagic and the 1082 ID was still Megrim. I replaced it again by Liliana's and this time all was perfect. The card was tested and works fine.

Seems that DrLambda had already coded it so I'll keep it for myself right now.

I'll warm up with other easy cards (non coded yet) and when I'm ready I'll try Spawn Token and Pelakka Wurm. Seem the easiest cards from your list.

[jatill]

I'm about to give up on these cards, even though they are coded... Pretty disappointed by the amount of help offered.

[Yggdrasil]

I understood you wanted us to code these "easy" cards (well, not easy at all in fact ). So what we have to do exactly ? Just adding the line in Manalink.csv by replacing a card of the same type (and if possible with the same given abilities) ?
I'll search the pictures this afternoon.

[jatill]

Not code, just data-entry. As you said, just replace records in the csv using CardEditor (and replace the record in the exe too, of course)

[Yggdrasil]

Understood.
Here's already the pictures. I also added better quality picts I made some times ago for some of the older cards (I put the Steve Argyle FNM promo's Bloodbraid Elf instead of the ugly version by Dominick Domingo, all the other cards are the same pictures).
I'll do the entries tomorrow.

All right, here's the zip file :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M94I8Q57

It contains Manalink.csv and Magic.exe with the wanted entries.

Spawn Token -> 874 (exit Gargoyle Token)
Broodwarden -> 889 (Pale Bears)
Nest Invader -> 1156 (Spined Wurm)
Eldrazi Temple -> 1784 (Geothermal Crevice)
Eye of Ugin -> 1790 (Tinder Farm)
Ulamog's Crusher -> 1208 (Cathodion)
Artisan of Kozilek -> 1230 (Masticore)
Kozilek's Predator -> 1196 (Trained Armodon)
Awakening Zone -> 518 (Powerleech)
Growth Spasm -> 1245 (Recollect)
Pelakka Wurm -> 590 (Cat Warriors)
Ulamog, The Infinite Gyre -> 1384 (Metallic Sliver)
All Is Dust -> 60 (Demonic Attorney)

I replaced Eldrazi subtype which doesn't exist in the editor by Coward. I'm not sure about the indications for the AI (card value and how to play it) but the rest should be fine.
I also added the few cards I made :

Cunning Sparkmage -> 1320 (Vulshok Sorcerer)
Liliana's Caress -> 1082 (Megrim) <= 2 pics for Liliana's
Lone Missionary -> 1161 (Staunch Defenders)
Zephyr Sprite -> 420 (Flying Men)

Is it possible to add another color (like gold for multicolor cards) for the colorless Eldrazis ?
