Manalink update 28 January 2012 : Manalink 3.0

[franjoal]

Thanks stassy. I got the link from rapidshare and patch it after me and everything works fine. This patch is amazing. Do you know if there any way to play online? The manalink.exe not start.

The game does not function online after all the patching.

If you want to play magic online I highly recommend the free application magic workstation.

It doesn't have built in rules enforcement but it has every card and you can download card pics if you want.

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).

Thanks I'll try that

Working great for me I think the DEP thing was my issue, I had it set to only do none system files or something but it needed to be manually specified so that worked. I just installed it all from scratch too to make sure, and it seems to be working well.

[Althuna]

Is it just me or are basic lands missing?

[stassy]

Did you get the fix for the Mok Deckbuilder?

[franjoal]

Thank you. Now that we have managed to overcome the limit of the 2000 cards, why not try to fix the manalink mode to play online, so hard is that?

sigh........this game has just stopped working for me altogether. had it completely updated with ISD, tried 3.0 several different ways, last time by just adding the files in order to the 2.0updated folders, gives me an error.

no i wiped everything clean and the original 2.0 wont even start. any advice?

[gmzombie]

need to know OS. also sometimes it helps to add the magic.exe to the whitelist of your antivirus. Also make sure if you have a clean new 2.0 that your not trying to use any custom or limited as i could never get that to work for some reason.

Thanks that worked I noticed it still says manalink 2.0 on the menu, is it still like that for everyone else?

I have installed Manalink 2.0 SCV, but when I patch it to the latest ManaLink 3.0, I get a lot of missing images.

I have 4 folders with card images now :
CardArtLim - images numbered
CardArtManalink - images named
CardArtNew - images numbered
CardArtShandalar - images named

So I'm guessing Manalink 2.0 SCV is not really compatible with Manalink 3.0? What do I have to do to get all the latest cards with all the images?
Thank you in advance.

In first page of this topic there should be everything you need.
The 2 files with the numbered images are obsolete you can delete them.

[Althuna]

Is there a way to check that I have this latest version with all the cards?

[CirothUngol]

Latest Magic.exe is dated 1/27/2012, 3,186,688 bytes.
Latest Shandalar.exe is dated 12/6/2011, 1,753,088 bytes.
Latest CardArtManalink is 6,277 files, 177,135,695 bytes.

If these match and the game starts and runs, then you're probably good-to-go.

Great thanks!
