Manalink Update Dec 25 : Merry Christmas Update

[240sxforever]

The torrent was a great idea. I will keep seeding for as long as needed.
This could be a strong choice for distribution method.

Has anyone gotten the ABC challenge in section 4 to work? I've gotten some of the others to work, but that one doesn't work for me at all.

The torrent has seen 1.79 GB up from my seed in two days.
This is turning out to be quite a popular option, and may help solve the "Please no more (insert service") threads.

I seeded until I reached a ratio of 4.4, thanks for keeping it going.

I got it to work, but I think it probably checks land, including basics, for the letter, too. I made a deck with S and used swamps, and it accepted the deck just fine, so I know it can work.

Hello and happy new year4 all!I'm the only one facing problems with the instalation of the patch?When i try to run the deckbuilder an error message appears: "WinMain:Couldn't load deckbuilder bitmaps" and after applying the patch,the new appearance of the GUI just vanished and roll back to the original.Any suggestions?

Hello all,
I cant thankyou enough for all he work you have all put into this, it is amazing!
Myself, I have had troubles off and on with many of the files(mostly due to my incompetence-wait, completely due to my incompetence)Luckily, I have mired my way thru, and learned a tiny bit on the way.

I just tried loading everything on my other laptop(running XP) and all seems to work fine, with the exception of the Magic Limited.exe. for some reason, all it does is give me an "error sound" but not even an error window telling me what the problem is. I have tried deleting and unpacking many different ways. Currently, I unpacked Manalink part1, then manalink part 2(not overwriting any files-it did ask), then the noncard art, new card art, card art lim, and finally, tried first the 12/24 patch, that didnt work, tried the newest patch-and that didnt work. No matter what I always get that annoying "fail" sound.
Does anyone have any ideas? Im sure its a simple matter of me missing some integral step. If someone could point it out I would be forever appreciative.
Thanks again for all your hard work, and help to the goofus's like me

Check for c:\magic\shellart\winbkshellbox16L.bmp. Do you have this file? If not, you'll get the error.

[grizwald]

aha-nope, its not there-I have shellbox16, but notshellbox16L-Could you tell me where a petitioner might find such a file? I just loked thru the files I listed, and dont see it.

It's in the non-card art zip.

[grizwald]

yup, I downloaded the wrong file last night-thank you very much, Jatill!

Unearth does not work for both Hellspark Elemental & Hell's Thunder. Neither choice box activates during either main phase when a sorcery could be played.

Posting this in the bug thread as well!

did you try clicking on the rules engine? Not sure where you expected this to appear...

[Bog Wraith]

I forgot to try that.

I assumed, incorrectly it seems, that the choice would appear the same way it does for lets say, Ashen Ghoul which appears automatically during the upkeep phase.

I just built my first deck with Hellspark Elemental & Hell's Thunder and I haven't used the Rules Engine card in a while.

Thanks for reminding me to use it!

Anybody have an answer for the "WinMain: Couldn't load deckbuilder bitmaps" yet? It has spread to both my machines, XP Pro and Win 7. The Deckbuilder is dead in the water despite reinstalls on this and the Happy New Year updates.
