Magarena 1.10

[ubeefx]

April's fool release 1.10 is available for download.

There are already 2 of the 3 spoiled cards of New Phyrexia available, Elesh Norn and Suture Priest.

Also the card image loading is redesigned.
The lower quality images coming from gatherer are no longer needed.
This will allow much faster download of the card images.
You can delete the cards folder in your Magarena data folder, only hqcards folder is still used.
The random card is now high quality.

Have fun!

Huggybaby, I am still anxious to see your theme. Could be another nice extra for release 1.10.

Hey ubeefx,

Thanks for the updates, I feel like I've made a difference with my suggestions. It's always a thrill when the developer implements a user's suggestion, and I have more too...

I've been offline for a few days. I've been moving my CPU to another mobo and case and so progress on my theme has stalled.

The HDD my theme is on isn't being read by my new system, but I'll get it back eventually. When I'm done I'll send you what I have and call it a version .9 release. Then version .95 and 1.0 should be close behind.

Thanks for everything.

Once more,thanks for a new release on this excellent program.

By the way is it possible to have the messages on screen without having to put the mouse on it?Because thinks happen really fast with cards that I don't know and I want to check them but if I take away the mouse to point a card the messages menu disappears.I know I could so in the first releases but lately I can't or can't find the way to do it.Can you implement this?

@ Huggybaby

There is no need to hurry your theme. I will try to implement all suggestions I like when I have time.

@ Aswan jaguar

There is a feature request on project page to improve the messages display.
I will try to take what you ask into account when I will work on it.

Some good news too. A user on the forum, Salasnet, contributed a nice green felt theme.
It does reuse some artwork from the other themes, but that should be ok.
Huggybaby is quite ambitious to make a completely unique theme.
It is available for download on the project page.

Salasnet also provided nice replacement high quality token card images.
The token folder in the Magarena data folder can be replaced with these.
For obvious reasons these will not be available for download on the project page.
