Help editing enemy Decks
Posted: 23 Aug 2023, 21:15
I noticed theres a complete overhaul for the enemy decks here which I do want to try sometime but not just yet.
I have noticed the A.I is terrible with some cards, e.g Giant Growth, often buffing MY creatures, so rather than expect a fix for the a.i I'd simply like to remove those cards from the enemies decks and give them something they dont mess up so bad with.
That being said the post suggests opening up the deck folder and edditing the files in notepad??? each card being represented with a numerical value?
My question is am I able to open up the deck editor outside of shandalar the standalone program, and edit the enemy decks there, and it reflect ingame. my only concern there is that editor has more cards in it than shandalar, e.g gold cards ect , and I dont want to crash/break the game.
Any suggestions on how I should go about this? again I just want simple minor changes to the enemy decks. Thanks
also one other concern is when loading the decks there seem to be MANY more than just the enemy decks in shandalar see picture for reference. making it much harder to know which ones to tinker with, obviously Goblin Lord ect could be easier to pick out but some are ..odd.
edit (cant post picture due to being a new user) but list goes something like
Elves
Elves are nice
Elvish Magi
Emerald Blur
Enchantress
Esper Weenie
ect. from what I can tell only 2 of those are enemy decks
VERSION : Microprose Magic the Gathering 2010 Custom Installer ISO
TLDR:: Can I edit ENEMY decks in the deck editor using the GUI and it reflect in-game rather than editing the .dck file in notepad and having to scour the all over for card numbers. The only thing I cant seem to be able to adjust in the deck editor is the sideboards for vblack vred vwhite ect,
