I'm having problems too.

I can run the game although it still has the same manalink 2.0 background? But none of the cards have any text, and only less than half of them have pictures. I have tried installing the Dual Card Art link above but it didn't help. Not sure what else to do. I also tried disabling visual themes and the DEP settings but that didn't seem to help.

Did you install the windows dependency pack needed for snacko dll?

I noticed that if you rename the main "magic" folder you get no text,abilities almost nothing on the cards at least with xp.sp3 so if someone has renamed it change it back to what it was originally and the text will appear again.

[stassy]

That is because of the registry which can pinpoint to the last exe location, if your magic folder was named magic at 1st.

In my xp laptot I have several magic folder called magic1,2,3...for testing purpose and they all worked well even though the name is not stricly "magic".

In last resort you could try to register your magic folder with the 1.32 registry file (created originally by Mok which bypass cd protection), but I don't know if the ML3 update will follow...

Hi, everyone. Been lurking and playing Manalink for a while, and I'm excited about this new release. I'm having one little problem, and I'm wondering if it's just me. I downloaded the ISO provided earlier in this thread and got the C++ Redist package, so I'm not getting any more .dll errors. Magic.exe itself seems to run fine.

Trouble is, when I try to use the deckeditor.exe (the 3rd-party deck builder with all the filtering and search functions), I get an error based on the fact that it can't find manalink.csv. Is the deckeditor not supported in this release? I can see all the cards I'd expect to see in the deck builder offered through Magic.exe itself, but I find that one cumbersome to use.

Cheers, and thanks for the hard work!

As far as I know it dossent work anymore.

Is it possible to upload a working manalink v3 folder,because i have some problems with the installation.Thnx in advance.

[franjoal]

I need help. I copied all files from the patch and when I enter on magic.exe telling me this: couln't initialize for card drawing. If I give the OK button closes the game but I can not give play perfectly. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

[sopcich04]

is therea step by step to installing this?

is 3.0 a stand alone package or do i just open and drop files into 2.0?(i never DLed the 2000+ beta)

then do i just open and drop all the other DLs like in 2.0?

also i dont get what to do with the srcmok folder.

sorry for the questions but many many thanks for this breakthrough

[stassy]

You should download and extract the files from the OP in order they are shown.

The file is only for developers it is not needed for the game.
You patch the game as "usual" steps in first page.
If you want to clean your magic file after installing,these files become obsolete after this install:all 4 previous cardard files=(cardartlimited,.....)also manalinkL exe,manalinkGY.exe and bat,manalinkNL.exe and bat,also magic custom files and their csv files.

stassy, I have installed windows 7 ultimate sp1. The game I'm using is the original cd Duels of the Planeswalker. I installed the patches in the same order they are to download. The magic.exe file I have put it in compatibility disabled visual themes and disable desktop composition.

I also discovered that the pic of the card "El-Hajjaj" in Shandalar mode does not come out.

[stassy]

It has been verified that you cannot patch from the original game to ML3.

You need to start from a "clean" ML 2.0 folder (and not ML 1.0 or 1.32) which you can download either from CirothUngol mediafire folder or here :
https://rapidshare.com/files/194994241/MtG.rar (this one is a working ML3 beta1 folder)
And then start the patch update from the OP in the right order.

If you spot any error about card art or cards, please properly report it in the appropriate Bug section of the forum (though El-Hajjaj card art issue has been already confirmed and Sonic will correct it next Shandalar cardart update).

* Included support for the "New Type" fields of the CSV : this means that all bug related to cards with more than 2 subtypes has almost gone. I say almost because the New Type values cannot be used for the targeting function. However, is still a great achievement !

So, now all the cards use these new type fields?Because if that's the case,then we can reverse the change we made for Legendary creatures with 3 types and use the old subtype,subtype 2 for some original cards to work,that don't work with the new fields like " Karakas " if the special values like Legend is not selected in the subtype.
