I have written a couple of scripts to get the data from gatherer, they are really hacky and I don't include them with the generator scripts which are state of the art compared to those. Also thy don't really work too good for split cards due to how gatherer present the data and how simple the script is.

Can anyone help with this:

When I drop a deck into the generator I get this:

PHP Warning: Error parsing config.txt on line 65 in C:\Program File (x86)\Magic Workstation\HQCC\scripts\includes\global.php on line 22
PHP Warning: Error parsing config.txt on line 65 in C:\Program File (x86)\Magic Workstation\HQCC\scripts\includes\global.php on line 30
Card Generator v8.2.10 - Generate Decklist Pages

ERROR: Error locating output directory:

[Snacko]

Need to know what you have in config.txt around line 65 and what you set as output directory path.
Also there might be other problems arising such as if you have Vista or W7 you don't have write permission in program files unless you run an elevated process (this means your output directory has to be outside of program files) plus 32bit applications have program files redirected and I'm not sure if it confuses the path location as I remember some applications had a problem with it.

Ok moving the output & Pics folders out of Program Files fixed those errors but now I get this error:

Card Generator v8.2.10 - Generate Pages
ERROR: Error parsing "data/sets-pre8th.txt". Unknown set: Promo - Rewards
Press any key to continue . . .

[Snacko]

This has been reported before, the quick fix is to edit data/sets-pre8th.txt and remove all the promo lines so it looks like this.

Hi, Snacko
Have you already done the alteration in code to generate planeswalkers with four abilities, like jace the mind sculptor?

[eternaleye]

Hi Snacko, I'm trying to run the card generator on Linux and I'm running into a problem. When I run the shell script from the native tarball, it goes straight to 'press any key...'. The PHP script, if run on its own, runs straight through and never prompts for input when it gets to the getInputFiles call. In neither case are there any images in the output/ directory. Any ideas?

EDIT: Hmm.. On second thought, does the generator have any deps beyong PHP and its gd extension? I installed a rather minimal build of php (basically gd, pcre and xml extensions but nothing else).

[Snacko]

Yes it should work with only php+gd plus pcre is used in some places. Make sure you have cli and you run it via this interface. You can try to check it via running a simple scirpt

Code: Select all

<?
echo defined('STDIN')
?>


[eternaleye]

Found it! My build of php doesn't recognize <? $CODE ?> - it has to be <?php $CODE ?>

[Snacko]

You can edit your php.ini and set short_open_tag = On

[eternaleye]

Cool, thanks Snacko!
