making new cards

[Althuna]

Is there any way to make new cards if you don't know anything about programming? I don't know anything at all about programming but it would be nice if I could make some new cards.

Maybe some day there could be a card making tool that you could just enter all the details and make some basic cards?

You cold "make" new card if they're similar to older one or really simply.
An example : anyone can make a card like Garruk's Companion or Paladin en-Vec.
About a "tool" for making card : it could be done (if I don't remind badly, Wagic uses a sort of "internal programming language" to make new cards, and that is surely editable via a dedicated tool), but implies an heavy recoding of everything and could not be done unless we have the source code.

Cool thanks Garg. I will try to make some cards.

while we are talking new tools to add cards do you know what happened to skymagic editor. i knew it didnt work anymore but does anybody know why it dosent work anymore? i tried to load it up just to see what it does and it loads the new csv fine just not magic.exe. or is the new way easier for you

[Gargaroz]

The new way is a little easier because you only need a program to edit a CSV file to do it, plus many values previosuly "mysterious" are a bit clarified now.
However, if someone could make a new editor (even in VB, I don't think handling CSV is too hard), we could use it too

[gmzombie]

if it is just editing the csv you know skymagic editor still reads it and whatnot. i havent tried anything else but from what i seen the only option is it willnot read magic.exe anymore.

since the csv is altered in ct_all.csv i don't know how skymagic could still work. I think Gargaroz is right about a new editor.
The only thing is: making an editor to alter 100+ columns is quite a lot of work.
