Card pics ratio

Postby BlackLotus82 » 09 Sep 2014, 21:55

Hello, I just tried Magarena out of curiosity and it's very good indeed! :D
Just a question concerning the cards: since in Magarena there are no distinct versions of a same card published under different sets, are the card pics downloaded the ones belonging to the most recent set in which said cards were published?
Then, would it be possible to use multiple basic land pics, maybe the ones belonging to the most recent set published (if that's the ratio actually followed for all other cards, I mean).
Tx for any reply, and good work to the developers! :)

Welcome - glad to hear you're enjoying :)

The images are from mtgimages.com and use the most recently published version of a card which has the highest quality render. (Some of the older cards 'reprinted' in the online 'Masters' sets have been manually added, so aren't as high quality but have more accurate card text, as the higher quality images are from older scans).
I know that Lodici has, on his ever-growing list of plans ;), the plan to allow the choice of image for each card when building a deck. Previously basic lands did have small random pool of images that would be chosen from, but has settled on the current choices for the time being, with the improved version on the horizon.

If you prefer a particular image for your basic lands, in the Magarena/Scripts folder you can find all the individual card scripts. You can replace the 'image=' url to point to a different image. (After deleting the original image).

Unfortunately, updating the script is only temporary since the script will be replaced when you install the next version. You would need to update the source controlled script to make the change permanent.

You can find the script for a particular card via the card explorer. Double-click a card to view the script and/or groovy associated with the card in the card script screen. You can then open the script file in your system's default text editor by clicking on the file path above the script (note, here be dragons). You will need to restart Magarena for any changes you make to the script to take effect. As ShawnieBoy pointed out you will need to remove the existing image to trigger the download.
