Can someone remind me where the file is to switch which card frame is automatically used?

\Manalink 3.0\Program\DuelArt\Duel.dat

You are looking for "ForceFrame=" and need to change it to "ForceFrame=Classic" or whichever theme you are looking for (the options are in the comments above that line).

Thanks!

Hi, I have just seen that the cards with special characters in their name don't recognize their art file in the Cardart Manalink folder and have a gray empty image instead.

Also, the EDH format is totally messed up, since all artifacts are claimed to be unlegal!

It is mentioned in the first post that the card art file naming convention has now been changed.
You need to download the updated CardArtManalink folder and artwork archives from the two links in the post, these contain all the renamed files.

ALERT!!!

A virus was detected in ManalinkEh.dll from this update.

Please provide another link for this update.

Something that I think is going to cause people art problems is the names of the folders in the zip.

If you are used to just copying the folders into your install directory and overwriting everything you will miss some art. One of the zip folders is called "Card Art Update" and some people might just copy that into their program directory. The contents of that file need to go into CardArtManalink as far as I can tell or you miss a bunch of artwork. Perhaps rename that folder just to be the correct name to avoid confusion?

That's just a false positive.

Korath you mentioned that you worked on something that will give more info about the crashes it didn't make it to this update?
As I am having few crashes but with the Deadbox card out ruining the savegames I can't reload the savegames to try to find the cause.It would be really helpful if it was available as you already mentioned that crashes with the very few info the crash reports have are as searching a needle in haystack.

Why not just advise people to RTFI

There's more information immediately preceding the "Wrong parameters at address" popups (like the one shown here), not crashes directly to desktop (like the one shown here). We can sometimes get some information from the error report that the latter prompts you to make, but of course it would need to be posted here, not sent to Microsoft.

Maybe in red with big font size it will be readable

Although I must say the filename rename change was not fully explained (special character converted into "_", hence my note about PDA errors and Sonic answer.

[HarlequinCasts]

Oh I get it. I just think its inconsistent that all other zip files can just be dropped into the root directory and overwritten except for the artwork which needs to be renamed because its folder name inside the zip file is different than the actual folder name. As a result it adds an extra step where a new player can mess up the install. Just seems unnecessary.

[gmzombie]

Well they did that because they modified the cardartlib.ell I believe which will make it easier for non english setup. It seems to be a problem with the non english extra things. I believe

HarlequinCasts,

You're not too concern because it's not your computer. If you think a Trojan is false positive then open it yourself, genius.
