hmm this is missing the cards to unlock from what i´ve seen so far (bloodbraid elf/jitte/sower of temptation/tezeret etc)

Yeah, those will be released with challenge 3 in a few weeks. Also, is that the same art download as before, or is the resolution better now?

[Salbei]

same pics (replacing the same cards - including the unreleased ones)

i still haven´t found a source for HD pics. going to upgrade the pics whith the rest of the zen cards then. hopefully i´ll find some better pics by then or i´ll have to do everything twice.

I can't seem to do any challenges in the new version... always get Invalid settings.

This is how my config.txt looks now:

Code: Select all

// Turn debug mode ON by default
Debug:0

// Turn on challenge mode.  Make sure debug is off.
ChallengeMode:1

// Warn you if your deck is not legal in any format
CheckDeckLegality:0

// Make the AI start with 0 cards in hand
CrippleAI:0

// Start the game without milligans or play/draw decisions
QuickStart:0

// Give all creatures haste
AutoHaste:0

// Give players unlimited mana
UnlimitedMana:0

// start the game with 30 cards in the grave for each player
AutoMill:0

// turn the rules engine on (turning this off is not recommended)
RulesEngine:1

// Automatically choose targets when possible.
// Also see TargetsHuman.txt and TargetsAI.txt
SmartTarget:0

// Alphabetize your deck any time you look at it.
AlphabetizeDeck:1

As in Challenge set 1 and 2? Try running them through the launcher instead.

Nope, still doesn't work. I tried setting the challenge in config to 0 and then run it through launcher, but that didn't work either.

I don't know then. I've been failing challenges all day If someone else has the same problem, speak up please.

Hey Salbei-
Would you mind keeping this page's link to the images files up to date?
http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/Installation
Thanks

[Salbei]

just use the link to my webspace.
its easier to keep re-uploading one file once every 2 weeks than change every single thread where the files got mentioned.(currently like 9 threads all over the place that i would have to adjust every single time).

http://salbei.spacequadrat.de/magic/upd ... ArtNew.rar
(big file with every artwork till september09)

http://salbei.spacequadrat.de/magic/upd ... rtNew_.rar
(every artwork from septermber09 till todays zendikar update)

http://salbei.spacequadrat.de/magic/upd ... rtNew2.rar
(all pics just from the zendikar patch , today (going to be outdated with the next patch))

-NOTE:
gonna merge everything into a big file again soon (overwriting CardArtNew then)so there is just one single file to download for new players.
i´ll keep up the CardArtNew_ for the files that aren´t in the big file yet (from new patches) - so you don´t have to download 120MB just for 5 new pics.

-EDIT:
Merged Zen pics into the CardArtNew_.rar
The link in the wiki is just refering to the Big file (date:sept), you need the small file aswell (CardArtNew_.rar)

OK, I notice more strange things... my hand size keeps shrinking every turn and all creatures have haste. AutoHaste is set to 0.

You have a slightly out-of-date version. Re-download.

Ah.

[Trollheart]

I grabbed the newest version you put up and every time I use the launcher it crashes before I start a match. Any thoughts on what may be causing this? I was able to run the challenges with what I gathered from reading here was about the normal amount of crashes before this patch.

[Salbei]

you´ve installed correctly ?

moks manalink->Application Compatibility Toolkit->latest patch->latest artwork->new duelart(needed!)->disable visual themes->reboot->start the game

otherwise try to launch the game with the normal "magic.exe"

[Trollheart]

It worked fine before the newest patch, now all it does is crash no matter which .exe I use. Honestly I installed all of this so long ago it may be in my best interest to redo it from scratch. I have to do something, I may go insane without this game
