dunno i just took it from the game.

Hi, I see the community never stops! , you have dug up some interesting things. I could help in the recoding part of cards from asm to c, once I finish up the draft (the rarities are a topic for discussion though...), that shouldn't take more than 2-3 weeks . And finally found why, I couldn't edit the wiki .

[gmzombie]

I was just thinking if the other manalinkeh? Or ex not sure which one we don't use but we could use that specifically for changes to the exe like sealed deck and maybe new ai functions..but that is all up in the air until we organize and label all of the functions in magic.exe. this is crucial

[Dave]

Never use old or used files when you start something new, like transferring code from asm to c. You could end up wondering if some code is new or old/obsolete. When you use a new file, you know all code in that file is needed/freshly transferred. And you are sure that your new file is not accidentally switched by an old manalinkeh.dll from manalink2.0 or whatever.
Like you said, there shouldn't be any new ai-programming as long as we don't know the code

[gmzombie]

no no dave and i agree but i thought that everything was already recoded out of that dll thats all.

[Gargaroz]

About recoding the hardcoded cards, it could be done, but only for the 75% as now. The rest employ functions / values which aren't completely decoded, like the "stole permanent" function.

[gmzombie]

and that is fine gargaroz, i mean we will sooner or later be able to recode the functions that make those cards happen. I know we as a group will be able to figure out the labeling of the programs functions so that we can fix this once and for all.

I was just taking a look into Mok files.And in Deck.dll as I was trying to see how to add new abilities to the "ability" for the DeckBuilder I came up to this:

Does anyone know what these numbers stand for-what they target as I could not see any pattern to it?

Does anyone know what these numbers stand for-what they target as I could not see any pattern to it?

It's nothing really useful. These are used by the DB for the ability filter button. Main game doesn't use it at all, it's the data in the CSV columns right before new expansion columns and it's now dumped into dbinfo.dat which is read only by the deck builder.

[Aswan jaguar]

Does anyone know how MedArt and CardArt can be opened,edited?I search the net a bit but I didn't find something good and free.

[gmzombie]

no idea but that is original card art for the game which is replaced by whatever your cardartnew or cardartmanalink is.it isnt even in the code anymore i dont think.

[Aswan jaguar]

Maybe they are the files that need to be expanded so new abilities can be implemented to show on the cards.If you see one of the 2 abilities icon somebody at some point tried to implement new ability icons but with no success unfortunately.

[gmzombie]

i believe the only thing needed is the abilities.pic or bmp. the code for the icons is the same as it is for sealed deck where the booster pack pics are,. they are just in one file and there is im pretty sure in the code a place that says what cords are where for that particular icon. which is why you could add new icons to the bmp or pic all you want but you have to have code to tell the program where to find the pic..maybe im wrong but i i think that is how it works at least in this game.

[Aswan jaguar]

Has anyone a list of all the lands we have coded in Manalink,or can anyone make easily one?
I don't know how to set filters or if that can be done in excel to make easy such a list without typing all these lands.

[CirothUngol]

Sure, here's a PlayDeck containing all of the cards listed as Coded in the 20120128.csv, sorted by color (Lands are at the bottom).
