I have installed the game,and extract the cardartnew that there is in the iso.
There are 2774 cards.

Now i downloaded "THE ONE AND ONLY UPDATE FOR THE ISO" and inside there are 2500 cards. It's all right?
In the instruction i read that i must delete the old folder, but so i lost 200 cards... any info please?

Thanks

Don't panic, you don't lose 200 cards - you're just losing a lot of 'not used' card artwork files.

The 'CardArtNew' folder supplied in the ISO archive originally came from another development version of the game and included a lot of artwork for cards not included in the ISO version of the game.

The 'CardArtNew' folder in "THE ONE AND ONLY UPDATE" removes all this surplus artwork and replaces some of it with new extra alternative artwork specifically for the cards in the ISO version.

You must delete the original 'CardArtNew' folder when replacing it with the 'THE ONE AND ONLY UPDATE' - to ensure that any previous 'not used' file is actually removed.

Perfect, thank you for the clear and kind reply

How you can take card with amulets? every time when they offer me to do it i cant take it. i can select card and when i press done i dont get it...you suck without those cards...pls assist

Edit by stassy : Duplicate post deleted in the Newbie section, please refrain from posting the same question twice, thanks.

If I remember well you need to select the card and press "enter" or "y".

no you cant take it like that. i tried press every button on keybord and still nothing

After reinstaling same problem...Game sucks if you cant take this cards...

Did you try to double click on the selected card?

In the 'Trade for Amulet' screen, select the card you want to trade for, and then click on the card itself.

A question below the card will appear saying something like:

"I'll trade you 1 'whatever card' for X colored amulets.
Do you wish to trade?"

Below this there will be two answers:

"Yes, I'll trade."
"No Thanks."

Click on "Yes, I'll trade.", and the question and answers will disappear.

Exit the Trade screen by clicking 'Done', and go to 'Edit deck/Sell cards' screen to see if the card has been left in the card pool at the bottom of the screen.

Works for me.

I'm getting an error with this guys, can't get it to run




any ideas?


thx

Guys i have a question about new cards. I'm trying rebuild the UG madness deck but couldn't find wild mongrel. I saw one card named fissure but the art was the same with wild mongrel except its red? Also i noticed apprentice wizard having a call of the herd art but blue. I just downloaded the update cardartnew and overwritten the present one. I'm not sure what i missed or something i did wrong.

Sounds like you haven't downloaded and installed the correct update - posted in the first post. If you install any other update than this one it will corrupt the game.

Im running the MTG ISO on Win7 in XP SP3 compatibility. I have the torrent file. When i try to play a fetch land (say flooded strand) the game freezes...like its thinking but doesnt ever stop. Ive read a couple threads on this forum about the same problem but have not seen an answer...any suggestions?

Also...is there anyway to booster draft on this thing?

Answering in reverse order:
If booster drafting wasn't in the original game then it won't be in this one so check the manalink forum for that.

The ISO version doesn't need to be run in any compatibility mode, did you have trouble?

I don't know. For that kind of help it's best to look in the manalink forum.

Today Sonic continues in his relentless pursuit of perfection with another update to the ISO. But this time we get even more than our much loved picture refresh. This time we get new exe's! Replacement Magic.exe and Shandalar.exe programs, to be exact.

Here's why new exe's were needed. (It's technical.)

| Open

To resolve an issue with cards which have their Creature Type encoded within the programs themselves, such as the Zombie, Goblin, Merfolk, Dwarf, Efreet, Djinn, Rat, Elephant, and Mammoth. It seems some of the creature cards of these types would not gain PowerUp and Landwalk abilities even though their Manalink.csv file entries were found to be correct. Setting their Creature Types within the actual programs seems to have resolved this.

Thanks to NoobWizard for coming up with the fix for this. This is good stuff!

Next, all the cards images have been re-encoded to a slightly higher JPEG quality setting. This has been done in order to remove the blocky pixelation with some of the card artwork in the Shandalar buy/sell and deck builder screens. This was not easy because the problem is intermittent.

BEFORE (Worst Case):

AFTER:

The problem only affects Shandalar and the new encoding has no noticeable affect on the Duel Games. Thanks to KING-TYPO for reporting on and and testing this. If anyone has heard from him since his hard drive blew up let us know.

And on to the pics: This update includes some new artwork for the cards, and this includes pre-release and rewards artwork for:

Birds of Paradise
Terror
The Rack
Land Tax
Pendelhaven
Watchwolf
Infest
Corrupt
Terminate
Sakura-Tribe Elder
Elvish Visionary
Resurrection
Eternal Witness
Char

More: Also included is alternative token artwork for:

Goblin
Faerie Rogue
Elf Warrior
Kithkin Soldier
5/5 Dragon

Plus, the latest artwork from M11 for:

Juggernaut...

...and Mana Leak

Thanks to NoobWizard, KING-TYPO and again to Sonic for the hard work, and attention to detail, put into this CCGHQ quality update.

PS And thanks to kevlahnotafor the formatting tags I stole to format sections of this post.

hey guys!!! this is great, but i have a bug sometimes in Shandalar when i enter a city none of the menus pop up, just the background image of the city is shown, and music and sounds can be heard but i cant exit or do anything, just have to alf+f4 and load again, after a few tries sometimes it gets fixed but sometimes it doesn't :S any ideas why this happens or what can be done to solve it?? Thanks!!!

Installed fine and played a couple games so far on Vista x64, no problems perceived.

Thanks for the hard work on a classic game.
