CCGHQ Microprose DOTP Custom ISO Update 011611

[Huggybaby]

With the release of Elspeth vs Tezzeret, Sonic has been able to complete the latest update.

This update includes 100 new dual decks which were released on the CCGHQ site around the time the ISO version of the game was originally developed, as well as a full Card Reference for the game.

FIXED:
Assembly Worker missing artwork issue.
Original Card Art update showing blank cards in Shandalar. (Last update was missing the needed older Cards1.dat file.)

The new artwork in the 'Card Art Update' includes:

Crusade
Mox Emerald
Mox Ruby
Mox Pearl
Mox Jet
Mox Sapphire
Sinkhole

Swords to Plowshares

Wild Nacatl

Nice!
The CCGHQ Custom ISO is often my "go to" version as it allows me to play the vast myriad of old Playdecks available. Speaking of, I appreciate the new influx of 100 decks as well as the art updates. I ran the new Playdecks through a batch script that identifies (and corrects) decks with CSV mis-matches; it found 4. Here's a portion of the logfile...

Code: Select all

MisMatch in Manalink.csv: Old School Tinker.dck
.944    2       Card in Playdeck: Platinum Angel
                in Manalink.csv : Savaen Elves

.896    1       Card in Playdeck: Sculpting Steel
                in Manalink.csv : Sewers of Estark

 
MisMatch in Manalink.csv: RG Beats.dck
.860    3       Card in Playdeck: Centaur Archer
                in Manalink.csv : Call from the Grave

.1306   4       Card in Playdeck: Yavimaya Barbarian
                in Manalink.csv : Sculpting Steel

.449    4       Card in Playdeck: Incinerate
                in Manalink.csv : Pyramids

.284    4       Card in Playdeck: River Boa
                in Manalink.csv : White Ward

 
MisMatch in Manalink.csv: Stasis.dck
.522    2       Card in Playdeck: Twincast
                in Manalink.csv : Reverse Polarity

.944    1       Card in Playdeck: Platinum Angel
                in Manalink.csv : Savaen Elves

 
MisMatch in Manalink.csv: Stompy.dck
.105    3       Card in Playdeck: Elvish Ranger
                in Manalink.csv : Green Ward

.19     4       Card in Playdeck: Groundbreaker
                in Manalink.csv : Black Ward

.284    4       Card in Playdeck: River Boa
                in Manalink.csv : White Ward

.297    4       Card in Playdeck: Jungle Lion
                in Manalink.csv : Barl's Cage

.628    2       Card in Playdeck: Mirri, Cat-Warrior
                in Manalink.csv : Eternal Warrior

...all others were misspellings. I've made the above fixes by hand, then let the batch script automatically correct misspellings and add proper color descriptions. If anyone is interested, you can grab the fixes below.

All Thanx to Sonic for this latest release, Appreciate!

That's fantastic, thank you CirothUngol!

I'm back with a couple more sets of corrected Playdecks for the CCGHQ Custom ISO. First is the original Microprose OEM set of 108 Playdecks... batch-worked for misspellings (Knights of the Pendrell Vale?) and adding of consistent color descriptions. No other changes to these, deck contents are exactly as originally installed by SotA and DotP.

The second is a set of 600 Playdecks cobbled together from here and there over the years. They're the same decks from my 20100109 Install... only correct, consistent and 100% matched with the Manalink.csv contained in the CCGHQ Custom ISO 01-16-2011 Update.

If your intention would be to drop these into MagicTG\Playdeck and hit Duel/Gauntlet on random (as was mine), be warned that the Playdeck Randomizer is apparently 8 bit... it will only select from the first 255 decks (alphabetically speaking), and you're likely to have close to a thousand to chose from. I get around this by splitting the decks into 4 directories and manually switching out the .\Playdeck directory. Sloppy, but effective. ^_^

Please report any issues you may find with the Playdecks or the archives.
