Manalink update 16/11/2013 : Portals to Theros

[HarlequinCasts]

@ Gargaroz did you include any of the work made by foolosopher since last update?because if that is the case his work is still in development and not working and ruined Draft completely.
If that is not the case then either code necessary for Draft to load was damaged or removed from new update probably ManalinkEh.dll Please check this.

Good its not just me having problems with draft. I have been seriously bummed not to have a working draft. Drafting against the AI was my main way to test cards and kill time

My favourite play/test ground also.Be aware though that Theros is a new update and it wouldn't be available for draft until foolosopher updates the sets supported anyway {unless it is listed as another set?}.Portals probably will work if we find what broke draft.

Ha, now it's working for me. Thanks for the update guys, great work as always, and thanks for helping me out with my problem so quickly. You guys really are amazing!

Foolosopher's new draft code isn't in. (If there's anyone to blame for that, it's me - I told Gargaroz I'd take a look at it last weekend, but then lost network access for most of last week.)

src/cards/draft.c has had only one change since the January 2013 Time Spiral release; a purely clerical one which would have broken many other things much more visibly if it were incorrect. ./DraftSets has remained unchanged since the May 2012 Avacyn's Machinery release. I don't know where else to check; I've only ever briefly glanced at the draft code, and have never tried to run one in Manalink.

i believe he is still trying to get the draftgui.c to compile to abe able to add it to draft or something. not quite sure exactly but his thread in development has all that info.

I just checked Draft using the Draft card and this way it works.

Just when I thought there was no more room for improvement, you guys come up with more pixalated awesomeness! Thanks!

For those still having trouble with the latest patch, here is the complete one which is a fusion of all the mini patches in this thread

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ii0cwpm2diiklni/11162013B.zip

I tested it on a Magic folder M14 pre Theros and it worked so it should be ok for most of us

Also I noticed for Future Sight expansions, not all the cards have the Future Sight frame, is it intended or...?

If you are referring to the "timeshifted" borders from futuresight yes that should be normal. There were 81 timeshifted cards in future sight that were supposed to be "reprints" of cards that had not been printed yet - hence the funky futuristic border. (Other sets in that block contained reprinted old cards, and old cards shifted to other colors).

EDIT: Actually the expansion symbol on all the timeshifted cards is wrongly placed in the upper right corner...

The MatrixMTG and MPlantin fonts were only used with my version of the card templates and dual.dat files. Korath uses the fonts supplied with the standard install.

ok now im starting to remember...
thanks you all!

Does anyone know a way to go back to the old frames? The new ones are rather annoying, especially in your hand.

[stassy]

You can customize everything related to card frame in the Duel.dat file in the DuelArt folder (open with any text editor like Notepad).

The line command to force all cards in Classic mode is as follow and must be changed from:
ForceFrame=
to
ForceFrame=Classic

Yes, it's true that in hand the big title frame hide the card color for the new card frame, but I guess the big and small card in bf make up for it.

ForceFrame=


ForceFrame=Classic


Beware in Classic mode though, there might be some issue with dual color and such special cards...
