How to edit your sealed deck!

[hotdogbun]

MTGPhoenix (and anyone else interested). If it helps I can send you a copy of an Excel workbook I have made for my personal use in customising my sealed pool. At the moment it is capable of 4 main things:
Reading in a users .profile file and listing all cards in Sealed Deck 1,
Allowing the user to easily change card IDs in Deck 1 (the hex numbers) and output an updated .profile file,
Automatically generate the hash.file after updating a profile (big thanks to thefiremind for letting me include this),
Creating a new profile with 6 freshly randomised boosters.

I am planning to keep working on this to be used on both Deck 1 and Deck 2 and also to auto generate randomised boosters for 6,7,8, and 9 booster pools.

I'd be interested in taking a look at it.

me too

It's opening up in open office for me, and I cannot find any of the "button" you mentioned.

Does anyone have any experience editing the profiles with the iPad? The only problem I've run into so far is that there doesn't seem to be a hash.file in the profile directory for the iPad. After I edit my profile and save, the game starts me over again, as if I was playing it for the first time. Is the hash saved somewhere else perhaps? Does the iPad have a different method for checking profile integrity? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you guys seen the latest patch? It seems they fixed this, not sure if they changed the hash file algorithm or something else. Anyone has any details/ideas on how to work around it?

Same thing happens if you use Null's Sealed Deck Editor.

I have been working on this for over 8 hours and I can not for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Let me write down all the steps I'm taking and somebody please tell me what I can do different if you know. First, I install TheFireMind's Profile Hash Generator and extract it into where my profile is saved (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\RANDOMNUMBER\213850\remote). In that folder I know have my profile.file, D13hash.cpp, D13Hash & hash.file. I open my profile.file with a Hex editor, make the changes I want & save the file. I then drag my profile.file into D13Hash program. Once I do that, the command prompt opens for a fraction of a second, as if it's doing something and immediately closes. No new hash.file appears. I even delete the hash.file and drag my profile in D13Hash again and still no new hash.file appears. I have used windows search to try and find the file and it only finds my original file. I'm positive this is where my problem lies that the hash generator is either not creating a new file or it's putting it somewhere where I can't find it. I have turned hidden files to be visible, still no luck. Countless times I've still tried to submit the changes into the program. I open the command prompt, drag D13Hash into it press spacebar then drag my file into it, press spacebar and then drag hash.file in and press enter. Now when I do this, I assume the correct actions happen. It says * Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 profile hash generator *
Opening file C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\RANDOMNUMBER\213850\remote\RANDOMNUMBER.profile... OK
Length: 0x5436
WARNING: non-standard file length (expected 0x10c4).
Hash: 0x479d3622
Writing hash to file C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\RANDOMNUMBER\213850\remote\RANDOMNUMBER.profile... OK
So it seems to be processing just fine but I'm assuming it's processing the original hash.file instead of the new one D13Hash is making or supposed to be making. Because when I open Magic 2014 it's either completely reset my profile or made no changes whatsoever. Please somebody I'm super frustrated and can't give up on a computer problem without solving it

To generate a new hash.file using thefiremind's D13Hash program you need to tell it to actually write to the hash.file like this:

Code: Select all

D13Hash.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\RANDOMNUMBER\213850\remote\RANDOMNUMBER.profile" hash.file

Notice that there is a second parameter which tells the program which file to write to. The command above will write the new hash to the same directory as the D13Hash program.

It still doesn't work. I did everything like explained. And it happens nothing. Even set half of the cards to "Vampire Nighthawk" just to notice changes quickly but nothing. If I change any 01 into 02 or reverse, my deck becomes empty and all the cards are back in the pool but I can't change any cards into other ones......

That is because the new Steam update validates the Sealed Pool specifically to prevent people changing the cards in Sealed Play. I only explained how to generate the hash, I can't help you with trying to change your sealed pool(s).

Thanks for the reply RiiakShiNal. When I type that directly into the command prompt it says ""D13Hash.exe" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." I believe it's giving me that error because I'm not specifying where the D13Hash.exe is located. I will show you the exact command (besides changing my actual profile number to "RANDOMNUMBER") I type into the prompt.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\RANDOMNUMBER\213850\remote\D13Hash.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\RANDOMNUMBER\213850\remote\RANDOMNUMBER.profile" hash.file
So I'm telling the computer which program to open and which file to write to. When I do this it spits out the correct output but when I go into Magic 2014 the changes I have made do not show up. This is getting so frustrating to me that I'm about to give up which I absolutely hate doing when it comes to issues like this especially when I'm so close to the solution.

Anyone know what to do with the .hash file for the iOS? Is it perhaps in some directory outside the app folder?

Again, if you are trying to change the cards you have for Sealed Play then this won't work because the new update for the Steam version now validates the cards for Sealed Play specifically so people can't do this anymore.
