New Installation: Image-Download and Mixed Pictures
Posted: 16 Nov 2017, 09:46
Hello everyone,
I'm a new user of XMage and had some problems with the card pictures. Some other users also reported such problems.
The good news is: I fixed the major one.
Problem 1:
You have a new installation of XMage and press the images-button to download all the missing card pictures.
A small window apears saying "Get all available cards from the repository". After a short time the text changes to "Check which cards are missing."
And this will take till Armageddon...
When you have a look at the java-status-window of the client and read the messages you will see, that there is a line with an violation of the naming-rules with the card "Pang Tong, "Young Phoenix""... There are quotation marks " used instead of '.
This is already mentioned at the devolopers-bug-list at github: /magefree/mage/issues/4148
[forum-system prevents me from posting links...]
What I have done:
I created the zip-archive manually and put one single image file in it, named [Pang Tong, 'Young Phoenix'.full.jpg] (exluding the brackets).
So you will have an archive-Entry: PTK.zip/PTK/Pang Tong, 'Young Phoenix'.full.jpg
You can make an individual scan of the card, download it from anywhere or use a photo of your girlfriend...
Now the client should be able to complete his search for missing cards and go on to the download. This leads to...
Problem 2:
Some of the downloaded pictures are switched. So you will have an [Forest] with the card picture of a [Wall of Swords] and many others. Affected are especially the older sets. There seems to be a problem either in the sources or in the re-naming-procedure of the client...
In one of the threads is the hint to clear the whole folder and download the files form only one source (wizards). [Remember to leave the Pang Tong in his folder...or you will have Problem 1 again ]
I've tried it and downloaded all the files from wizards but the confusion still exists.
Maybe my work-around for #1 helps some others...
But please: find a solution for #2
