My 2000 Installation and FAQs

My 2000 - What is it and why do I need it?

Manalink has a 2000 card limit (i.e. only 2000 cards can be in the game at one time). However, more than 2000 cards have been coded for this game. The 'My 2000' application allows you to choose which 2000 cards you want to use in your version.

Installation

This add-on must be installed separately from the latest Manalink patch. Here's how:
-Download the latest Manalink release and art if you don't have it already
-Copy your cardArtNew folder to a new folder called cardArtCus
-Create a new folder in your magic directory called custDeck. This is where decks for the custom version will live.
-Download and unpack this 1-time only download to your magic directory: .... If you make changes to your custom set and then re-download this file, you will clobber your changes.
-Download the My 2000 application to your magic directory: ....

Usage

To run this application you can either
(1) Run My2000.exe -or-
(2) Run Magic.exe and choose Tools -> My2000 Editor

Running CustomSetEditor.exe will not work.
This program is very slow to load (up to a minute).

Now just choose a card from the "Card Library" and choose copy.
Click on a card in the "Custom Version" that you want to replace. Click "Paste".
After waiting several seconds, you will get a confirmation message that you have copied over the card successfully.
