Deck Builder and Rules Viewer

[Salbei]

the outputfile(deckname.dck) look like this:

Code: Select all

;dredge              //deckname - the [b]deckname must match the filename[/b] -> this would be dredge.dck
;                    //description ,can be empty
;Salbei              //author , can be empty
;no.spam@plea.se     //e-mail , can be empty
;16/09/2009          //date the deck was created , can be empty
;1                   //no clue what this stands for, but can be empty aswell
;4th Edition         //no clue , unimportant too
;                    //comments can be empty
 
.684   4   Golgari Grave-Troll   //.CardID   quantity   name
.678   4   Golgari Thug          //same . you only need the .CardID + quantity,name is not needed


downloadlink for a example deck ->
http://salbei.spacequadrat.de/magic/deck/dredge.dck
(open with notepad and you don´t have to download it)

downloadlink for the Manalink.csv (the main database used for the game)
http://salbei.spacequadrat.de/magic/Manalink.rar (152kb)

here is a link with just the CardID + Cardname(should be what you´ve asked for).
http://salbei.spacequadrat.de/test/Deck ... /test3.php

note:
you cannot play with cards that are not coded (coded=0), so you don´t need these.
can´t put tokens into your deck -> don´t need them aswell.
a few cards got replaced.but that should be easy to fix later.
mythic rares are normal rares here (no need to sort by mythic).
It would be good if you could make the database accessable (to adjust recent changes).Would be even better if you could make it read out the Manalink.csv directly so there is no need to update anything.
There is currently a limit of 1999 cards so there are patches frequently that change one card to a different one under the same ID.

if you need any further informations just pm me here or join me on irc (quakenet // #manalink)
we are currently discussing about the topic here:

Thanks Snacko!

Random aside: I see that Wizards did not include future-shifted cards in Zendikar. I sure hope they reprint Tarmogoyf for those of us that weren't playing when Future Sight was released. Nix would also make a ton of sense with all of the Cascade cards out there.

[Salbei]

That wouldn't be a problem just need a file with names to card IDs.

Don´t want to push you , but is there any progress on the manalink thing ?

Any way i could help you with this ?

i´ve posted a couple links that should give you the needed information for the task.
The database list above is already outdated by now - you see how important it is to be able to update it manually

[Snacko]

I'm kind of busy so there was 0 progress.
The only help I can imagine is to actually write the modifications and send me a patch, but I suppose this wont happen.

[Salbei]

no problem , take your time.

i could do the entries in the database if you don´t have the time for it.
just send me a blanko .csv with the data you need and i will fill it out with the current implemented cards.

Got no clue what you need except Name/ID.

another thing i forgot to mention :
The .dck files do not contain any information about the edition the card is coming from - artwork is chosen at random.

It is prolly unnecessary to sort by edition in the deckbuilder since there are "only" 2000 cards (-token and other junk). would be enough if you could sort by Type/Manacost/Color/Name.

[Snacko]

All the languages up to ZEN and the few languages that have the new Plane cards translated.

I'll be making a full package later (need to fix some minor things).

@Salbei
I might have time this weekend to code a bit, so there might be something working soon.

I think I'll just use Manalink.csv, if it does have meaning full names (proper names without any abbreviations) then it's all that's needed.

[Moonstone]

Once again your work is really appreciated ! Thanks

I'd like to include promos such as recent prerelease cards in your masterbase in order to use them in the deckbuilder. Is there an easy way to do it ? I'm thinking of potential overwriting problems with your next updates... Any hint ? I was also wondering how your database is linked to the GH one.

Thanks for your help !

Hi,

I haven't been able to figure out what to do with the ZenDeckbuilder.7z file after I decompress it.

When I decompress the .7z file, I end up with a folder called "data".

If I try to overwrite the old "data" folder, I get errors and the .jar won't launch.

If I copy over just the files in the "data" folder (replacing the old ones) I get even more errors and the .jar won't launch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The app looks sweet so far, but I really want that Zendikar data

Thanks!

[Snacko]

The files should work fine when you overwrite the old ones, however I'll be uploading a full package as well.

@ Moonstone
The data is linked to GH base, as the English data is pulled of his masterbase. This was done to ensure the data (mostly set names) is compatible with MWS.
However planeswalker and planes are added independently while importing the data from GH base.

And yes there would be a problem as the files get overwritten each release so your changes would need to be pasted in each time not to lose them.

[Snacko]

Uploaded the full packages with some fixes.

Arcane 0.17 rc6.2 ZEN update

• update to ZEN
• fixes for MagicTraders Plugin
• fixes for parsing Crystal Keep rulings

Arcane 0.17 rc6.2
Source 0.17 rc6.2

Updated the first post too.

[Moonstone]

Thanks for the update. The Crystal Keep rulings update bug was annoying.

I'd like to include the _S3BaS_ masterbase update in the deckbuilder (which, I think, should be included in future deckbuilder updates). I used mws2cards and mws2lang but didn't get proper french translation.

_S3BaS_

What do you suggest ?

BTW what's the difference between french / french flavor / french oracle / french oracle flavor ?

Thanks for your help !

[tysxych]

Would you please to upload it to another network hard drive? I can't download files from Mediafire. Thank you!

[Moonstone]

Here's a few remarks to make this app even better

- The M10 and ARB translations are missing in the french-oracle.csv (but present in in the french.csv).
- The BRB, S00, TK and TKX seems empty.
- It may also be worth including the translation of UNH since it is available on the gatherer.

Thanks !

PS: I'll do part of this myself if someone tell me how to edit the csv : I didn't get it to work with excel.

Not even through jdownloader?

First of all, thank you for the great tool.

I just have a small feature request that would be useful to me and I guess to other players too. Would it be possible to filter the cards by their cost?

It seems the program already calculates it to give the average in the deck information area, so it would be neat if we could specify that we want to only see cards that cost exactly, less or more than a given amount of mana.

Thanks again!
