All the code I write goes into a .dll file, which is shared between the versions. So yes, it would be just copy and paste to takes cards from the Zendikar version and put them into Best Of. If you want to modify your own version, you're welcome to, but your changes will get clobbered whenever I do a release.0rion79 wrote:Ah, about the new cards in 8th edition, is all the data inside magic.exe? because if it is only a matter of copy & paste, maybe I can do the job.
Would you mind if I would use the bounceland slots for them? I agree with Mathusalem's suggestion also because, with all the good multilands in the game and considering how bad the AI behaves with them, I never use them, too.
PS: I use the bouncelands, even if they just work as Beta duals for the AI.

What about a compromise?
I absolutely agree about the fact that Spreading Algae or Bog Tatters are much better located in Zendikar set, but what about including "the best of" of those 15 cards? Maybe, only the next 5? Or at least the very last 3.
Mind Bend, Rhox, Hammer of Bogardan , Blinding Angel and Story Circle.
I propose you a fair change: remove "my" 5 Voice of X angels, made obsolete by your Voice of All, and include those 5 more interesting cards. Or, as an alternative, remove some "clone" card as Moor Fiend or Ravages of War. Do we really need 8 Bog Wraith?
Anyway, if you are going to overwrite any change with next release, of course I'm not going to do even the smallest change, it would just be consuming.

lol, I had no idea Moor Fiend was in the game. How did that even happen? Even so, I'd hesitate to remove cards from the game since people like you use all kinds of crazy cards in decks that I might not expect. I, for example, use a couple decks with Armageddon AND Ravages of War. I guess there's not a lot of reason, though, since you can put 6 copies of one card in your deck!0rion79 wrote: Do we really need 8 Bog Wraith?

I'm new here. Anyway, I think you already have a legality checker, right? To make sure there's not more than 1 restricted card. If so, that could be extended for all cards to account for identical powers. restricted = 1, normal = 4, bogwraith = 8, et al. Then you could remove the extra card type without affecting deck capabilities.jatill wrote:0rion79 wrote: I guess there's not a lot of reason, though, since you can put 6 copies of one card in your deck!
Or, I don't know what I'm talking about.

0rion79: Thats great. I'm looking forward to your deck collection, cause i'm a big fan of interesting combos but a very poor deckbuilder.
mathusalem: Didn't know about such complexities , some of them i copied from HQ project crops and some cropped myself in some lame software. But when i do it next time i'll pay attention to the proportion.

Well, of couse it has the effect of confusing an human player and may have some benefit if using the Meddling Mage... if we want, we may create a reason for everything Also that you just like to have more arts, lol!jatill wrote:lol, I had no idea Moor Fiend was in the game.

But, as I've already told, I think that now my angels are *nearly* useless and would like to have those 5 cards in the best of instead than those 5 creatures. If this change can be permanent and not overwritten in next release, I would really go for it.

oh dear, I think it will be ebtter to add the arts in the download folder from now on to avoid this kind of trouble.
anyway heres it is averything should go in your "Shellart" folder inside your Magic directory
http://rapidshare.com/files/299603268/shellart.rar
tell me if anything is missing in that download, if there is I give you this as well. same folder same directory
http://rapidshare.com/files/299754713/s ... addons.rar
sorry for the trouble

you must have the same number of cards in /versions/bestof/cardartnew/ and /versions/zendikar/cardartnew/ in other words, for every card in zendikar/cardartnew/ you must have its counterpart in /bestof/cardartnew/ that way every file gets replaced when you run the switcher.
for example, if you have the files 1500.jpg through 1600.jpg (just as an example... you should have more!) in the bestof directory and files 1500.jpg through 1601.jpg in the zendikar directory, card # 1601 will have the zendikar picture even when running in bestof mode. so you have to match up every card and have the bestof version in its cardartnew directory and the zendikar version in its cardartnew directory.
i know, it's confusing. if anyone needs help, i can send you my /versions directory which are both updated to the latest patch.

Mathusalem, I've just figured out that I'm missing the original file art that is used for backdround for the Spell Chain window, that appears when there is the possibility to reply with a fast effect or interrupt. It is black, but I think there should be some background.
Can you post the link for it? Thank you!
