Holidays 2020 - Time of Ice

Happy Holidays, everybody!

There's a new version of Manalink for you this season. Aswan jaguar has added a bunch of cards, mostly from Ice Age. Also included are the Saga cards from Dominaria, plus many additions from the Battlebond, Core Set '19, and Commander '18 sets. Much work has also been done under the hood, including a fix for the Arcbound Ravager bug (thank you again, Korath), so you can enjoy playing your affinity decks again.

----------
Two options for install:

Full install
For new users or those who want a clean start. First download the "Program" link, and then put the CardArtManalink folder from the "Cumulative Art Folder" link in your Program Folder. To download, you can either use "Download as ZIP" option near the upper right corner, or just right click on the folder in the navigation frame on the left and then download from the context menu. Art files should be in a CardArtManalink folder, which should be a subfolder of your base install folder. eg. if Magic.exe is in C:/Manalink, art files should be in C:/Manalink/CardArtManalink

Program:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/k5duohs6 ... 0.zip/file
OR
https://mega.nz/#F!uFcigASC!lhyHWGhdy4GECffm1_ZxNg

Cumulative Art Folder:
https://mega.nz/#F!6MNETS6C!wC6fp_fHRhlsZBcisA6n7w

Upgrade from an existing install
is in the Mediafire link below; this is for those of you that already have the October 2020 install, just download and copy into your Program folder. This zip includes updates to the art.

Update from existing install: https://www.mediafire.com/file/c3s86ryi ... 0.zip/file

Other incremental art update folders are in the link in my signature - these may be useful if you are upgrading from a version older than the October 2020 patch.

Thanks a lot for this new release and expecially for including missing ICE AGE cards on it.
Probably there are more powerful or better cards in the new sets, but for oldies that love the old MTG cardart(from Alpha to Weatherlight), having the old sets complete and play with the art of these cards in manalink is a total pleasure.

Thanks a lot guys for the great efforts and time.

P.S.- Is there any way to check what cards are missing in each expansion?

The best way I know is to ask for Manalink.csv and use that which is not included in release. Open it, Select all columns and select to filter them. Then filter CODED CARD column and choose only 0 = uncoded then go to the column with the set you want to check filter it and deselect only the hyphen symbol, (now you see all uncoded cards of that set but also possibly any tokens, any special cards not really in game and others that I forget now which you have to clear manually ).

This is the list of Ice Age uncoded cards = 25.

Installing this version and Defender keeps giving the message of a threat detected " Program:Win32/Wacapew.C!ml?" in ManalinkEh.dll. Did you include this or is it from MEGA?

I'm looking into it. I remember reading that antiviruses generally don't like Manalink because it's injecting and editing code in the program.
[EDIT]: I get the same warning when downloading from mediafire, but nothing when I scan the exact same file from my HD (ie. the one I uploaded)

Another solution is to get the full program and cardart till March 2020 via this torrent:
download/file.php?id=50441
and then only the updates to art of patches with mediafire since then NOTICE install and overwrite in the order mentioned as these include also the code, otherwise you will corrupt the installation:
1- https://www.mediafire.com/file/dhplt4ad ... 0.zip/file
2- https://www.mediafire.com/file/e28r84d9 ... 3.zip/file
3- http://www.mediafire.com/file/vzz3fk6t3 ... 0.zip/file
4- http://www.mediafire.com/file/wyikenmbe ... 0.zip/file
5- https://www.mediafire.com/file/c3s86ryi ... 0.zip/file
Edit:
You can skip the torrent if you download these 2 art files:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/rz0s7255 ... 0.zip/file
Cumulative Update: https://www.mediafire.com/file/ba4zkkfa ... 0.zip/file
and then go to drool signature to get the march card update - unfortunately I can't give you direct link due to mega not compatible with my old OS.
And then get all 5 updates above.

Picked through the MEGA for the ManaLinkEh.dll and downloaded a new one, the anti-virus isn't seeing anything in the file now. Works great.

Hello, I need help running the Shandalar application.

First time user, I downloaded the Manalink-3_0-Dec-2020 from mediafire and unzipped it in my documents. I then excluded the whole folder from windows defender, changed the compatibility mode to run with various systems and as administrator, but Shandalar refuses to start. I can run Magic.exe and deck.exe fine though, even start a game. Is there anything else I should be doing ?

I have Windows 10, have not downloaded the arts yet.

Shandalar doesn't work with this or any other manalink patches.
Shandalar with original cards only can be found in the shandalar subforum, in this link for shandalar ISO:

I don't get any issue from antimalware or antivirous scanning the files and nor did mediafire when file was uploaded and I guess mega also scans files when they are uploaded ( however they don't run thorough tests ).
Does anyone else get this trojan message? We know virus scanners give false positives for dlls being infected by viruses but a specific trojan?
Which program gave you that warning?
If anyone can check for this trojan please do so and let us know.

It's Windows Defender that's finding them. After the 28 Jan post by promisedend I wiped my HD & reinstalled Windows; the ManalinkEh.dll's that I have made since still get flagged from time to time.
