Deck Builder and Rules Viewer

[Idle Muse]

I have a problem; after updating to conflux, the deck editor won't open. I reinstalled using the link at the bottom of the first post, and the english bits from the dataCFX file on Snacko's mediafire, and still no luck: this is the stacktrace I get:

Code: Select all

What's wrong, what should I do?

Yes, it seems it doesn't work with the 2.9.6a, but I don't plan to update that version anymore.
Please update to the Arcane 0.17 rc5

Snacko, did you see:

It regards the pricing plugin.

[Snacko]

I don't know where did he get that source but even the source for the pricing plugin for 2.9.6a in the first post doesn't have that "bug". Still the plugin for 2.9.6a would crash as lately I fixed a similar problem in the arcane version.

To make the matter short it describes a "bug" that was never there or was fixed ages ago.

[Huggybaby]

OK. I don't know why they don't just come over here, it seems they would have found us by now. I don't post over there too much.

[Huggybaby]

Dangit, I forget how to update the rules. I updated the two text files from crystalkeep but that didn't work, and I don't see instructions anywhere. IIRC it had something to do with the card generator?

It sure would be cool to have an autoupdate feature built in, like MWS does.

[Snacko]

You did it the correct way.
However the search is case sensitive so it doesn't pick up "unearth" but does "Unearth".

[Huggybaby]

Very good, thank you.

[Snacko]

For the update functionality I might add a menu item that updates your rules from crystalkeep as the other updates don't have a static link.

[Huggybaby]

You read my mind! That would be da bomb.

Anyone got an Alara Reborn patch? Or can you tell me how to import the set from the spoiler:

Thanks for your responses.

Alara reborn data files only English at this time, other languages will follow(not sure if anyone even uses them ).
Includes rulings 04/18/09 up to CFX.

Awesome, thank you Snacko.

I only use the English version and thanks for putting this together. I will put together an updated formats.txt with the custom list for Incantus-implemented cards once the next public release is out. I might be letting the cat out of the bag a bit, but there are a LOT of cards implemented in Incantus...

[dbbergen]

Thanks so much Snacko. This is awesome.

Here is the formats.txt file for Incantus v0.591. If you are using Incantus and Nate's deckbuilder then you will want to use this file.

For those that are downloading this for the first time you copy this to your data directory. When using the deckbuilder you select "Custom" and any cards that are not implemented in Incantus will come up highlighted in red (i.e. they are "banned"). There are 5000+ cards supported by Incantus now and this just makes it easier to know which ones are implemented while using the deckbuilder. Also I recommend saving your decks in Apprentice format because that file format is supported by Incantus.
