Manalink BETA update : 2000 limit NO MORE !

[mathusalem]

looks good but now i would like to see the shandalar button restored.

oh yeah quite easy to do.

[gmzombie]

by the way did you ever take a look at all that shandalar art i sent you? no biggie if you didnt just curious if you got any ideas

[mathusalem]

Yes I took a look at it and started to look for ideas during my vacations. It will be easy to upgrade the bigger pix. But a lot of the smaller arts like the tiny block making up the fifferent castles and icons and the tiny parts are hard to see and have been damaged during the pic to bmp change. it's hard to see exactly what they are inside the game.

[HarryPitfall]

I'll download and test ASAP. Very good work people.
I don't have anymore the source code of my "skymagic editor", after a nice chunk of 16 gb of bad blocks appears on my HD, I lost a lot of things... (YES, 16 gb of bad blocks in one strike, a lightning strike...)

I found a strange bug, the cards that appear on deck editor aren't the same that appears in game, some are switched for a unknown reason.
I can't pinpoint the exactly cards that causes this.

CORRECTED 01\27: CardArtShandalar20120112.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?89bnwkzac67m5i6

Although, I’m wondering whether it might worth asking Snacko if the CardArtLib could be modified to draw the Shandalar card art from the CardArtManalink folder, rather than having two separate folders.

[khaizeth]

i want to try this new version.

can someone please post the links in mediafire?? i can't access rapidshare for some reason. thanks.

edit: can the shandalar game work in this new version?

[stassy]

Shandalar should work for this version.
If it doesn't, install those from Mok:

[khaizeth]

i can play shandalar but i can't edit decks, when i go inside the village i can't edit my deck too..

there was a pop-out that said "winmain ... " i can't remember

also i tried the magic.exe, when i click the deckbuilder it just.. crashes.. maybe i did something wrong

to avoid confusion, i did not use the latest of the latest working patch because i can't download the rapidshare link.. if that helps

i think i used orio's back in page 5-ish(?), because he posted it in a step-by-step way of installing it.

I had just finished making this very thing before logging in and seeing your post... patience is a virtue. ^_^
I noticed a couple of discrepancies between our folders:

Akron Legionnaire
Fighting Drake
Mox Opal
Stone-Throwing Devils
I don't believe these JPGs should be included...

Counterspell
Fire Drake
Reverse Damage
Weakstone
...and these JPGs should be included, based on the cards available in Manalink 1.3.2. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

can someone please post the links in mediafire?? i can't access rapidshare for some reason. thanks.

edit: can the shandalar game work in this new version?

YES! Shandalar works again! It's one of the best things about the new beta... and it's got updated art and everything. Very Nice.

I created a clean install of the Manalink beta for my own use that I've posted on MediaFire. I compiled in the following way:

Install from DotP ISO, seperate the AVIs
Install Manalink 1.3.2
Apply Mok's original Manalink 2.0 Update
Apply Manalink 20110401 patch w/ Non-Card Art
Clean folder of unneeded EXEs, CSVs, CardArtFolders, etc.
Apply Manalink 20120112 patch w/ CardArt 20120112
Add Mok's DeckBuilderV2 20120114 Update
Add Sonic's CardBacksV2 and ModCardTemplatesV2 20120116
Add Mok's FaceMaker and Shandalar Fix
Add Image.dll/DeckDLL.dll/DrawCardLib.dll from Mok's Source Release 20120117
Add Mok's final DeckDLL.dll Fix 20120121
Made CardArtShandalar folder for original 647 cards
Add 1,331 PlayDecks cleaned with PlayDeck Analyser v0.1
Add jiansonz's Overhauled Shandalar Enemy Decks and PlayDecks
Add WinSealedTournament.avi (why is this never included?)

I've been playing Shandalar and so far it seems to work great. Other than that I've only played Gauntlet and Duel, so caveat emptor. If it gives you any problems, be sure you've installed vcredist_x86.exe and if you can't see any text, please reboot... it seems to fix it every time (Win7x64).
Look in the "Manalink 3.0" folder, natch.

My MtG Folder on MediaFire

[stassy]

Do you have also the coin toss animation?

Orion79 is missing the entire animation file/graphics and me I just need the graphics

[CirothUngol]

Yea, the CoinToss AVIs are in there and they work fine. The only AVIs I seperated were the Shandalar Animations in the Statwin folder. Incidently, if you grab the Shandalar_avi.7z from my MediaFile folder, you can use the Evil Wizard Animations in Manalink beta as well.
Lemme know if you want me to upload the CoinToss and WinSealed AVIs separately or if the Shandalar Animations don't work for others, as I'd already installed Indeo Video 4.1 on my Win7x64 system before trying it.

[stassy]

Isn't Indeo Video 4.1 one of the standard encoder/decoder in windows media player? I am sure I saw that while doing some video editing in win7...

Anyways, thanks a lot for the files, let's hope the FBI don't take them down :p

[0rion79]

Those videos have always been cause of troubles. I would be much happier if, in the next version, they would be converted into a more modern video format, as we did by converting most of the art from GIF to hi-color jpg or bmp.
