Thanks!

Error Downloading Image for the five Crimson Vow Basic Lands.

So, first off, what happened to a bunch of posts? Weird.

Anyway, though, small thing I noticed, the Secret Lair cards for Okaun, Zndr, Propaganda, and Stitch in Time have colors but no color identities. Both the regular and the (B) for all four.

Ok, so, A, I guess some kind of certificate for this website needs to be renewed? Idk if you can see even this (Firefox wouldn't let me even open the site, but Chrome does.), but if you are in contact with whoever can do that.

But more importantly, another issue. Ok so I know you like adding columns and more information and functionality. But. The search area on the left goes down in order of the columns, a fact you probably can't change. Because you've added enough columns, there's only room for one Text search. At least on my laptop screen, which isn't, like, tiny, the last option is the second Sound. And there are circumstances where it's really nice to be able to search for two different things on a card. So it would be really nice if you could move things like Draft Qualities, Script, Sound, maybe one of the Sets, to after Text. If there are people who like reading the text in the box instead of reading the card, they can still enlarge the column even if its not the last one.

Also, I'm not sure I ever used the feature, but didn't you make it possible at some point to move a stack of cards from the Game area back to the Deck Editor somehow? Or did I make that up in my memory somehow? If it ever was possible, I can't seem to find it anymore.

I have three things.

1. A bunch of Secret Lair images are getting errors. The only one not 'temp' tho is 142, which I believe is Thraximundar.

2. Do you think you'll add Lord of the Rings and all this other foolishness? I was really happy when you didn't add the Walking Dead cards, but if it's gonna be a whole thing now... I mean what if there's a real cool random equipment or something. Idk.

3. OK, so the amount of work this would take me, I would never do it, but you know all sorts of shortcuts and stuff, so I'm just going to propose it. What if you added a set called lands or 1lands or something and added all the extra lands arts like Plains (Beta B), Swamp (Legions C), Mountain (War D), etc. Now, like I said, if you have to add the lands one by one by one, that would be quite a lot, but if its easy, I mean, all the land arts are sooooooooooo pretty.

And, of course, thanks for all the awesome work you do! 

 

This is probably asking too much, especially since I bugged you into adding Secret Lair in the first place, but is there any way you could just not add the Walking Dead cards. I really do not like them, and it seems like very few do. So we could just pretend they aren't real? And I believe there's Arena only unique cards you don't have in, so there's precedent to ignore these unique cards too, right? Right??? Maybe???

Like fifteen ZNR cards have Error Downloading Image for me. Three such are 172, 170, 265.

Sometimes I do not think things through. I can't tell you the number of times I've deleted a dead token by sliding it into whatever zone is closest, be it Hand, Library, or whatever. Like, I know that tokens can't go into other zones. That def should have occurred to me. A short explanation might be nice, but I do think most players are prob capable of being smart and actually thinking about it.

Also, I appreciate all the work for the extra tokens. For instance, without all the keyword counters Crystalline Giant would be unplayable.

Hey, the six new images from M21 don't download. Also, the masterpiece Teferi, HoD is so pretty I'm going to have to find a commander that can prominently feature him. Or just Rule 0 'cheat' and make him the commander. We already ignore the hybrid rule after all.

Also, why is Gunk the only token in the deck building zone and (I think) the only one with no image. I don't where you got all the other lackey token images, if that source has no Gunk, that part makes sense, but, I know its from a weird and fun mystery test card, but shouldn't it still be in the token zone? I mean, wouldn't I need to get them out of the token area so my opponent could shuffle them were I to play with the (hilarious) test cards.

Thank you!!!

Oh, well in that case, something is awry with that process then. Let me know if there's anything you want me to look at.

Ok yeah, I found the sounds list in that ListofCardSoundFiles file you mentioned, and input them manually into random cards. All the sounds worked.

Unfortunately, I have no idea why the Sound column downloads blank. Hopefully, its a just a silly little thing.

[I've given some thought to such printings. Unfortunately I have little control over which printings Lackey chooses by default, such as when you spawn a card by name, or paste a card list into the deck builder. (It always chooses whichever set code is last, alphabetically.) I feel like Lackey should supply "normal" printings by default, and it's jarring every time it pops up an Amonkhet Invocation when I don't expect it.However?now that I'm including things like Ikoria Godzilla cards as 1iko, thus ensuring they won't get chosen by default, it occurs to me I could do the same thing for entire promo sets. It will bug me a little that the entire set's set code will be inaccurate (1ss3 for Chandra instead of ss3 for instance), but I feel like maybe that's worth it. They'd still be easily searchable with "contains".]

Responding one by one as well.

As someone who hates the Invocations, I definitely understand that concern. And as someone with minor OCD, I get being annoyed about the naming conventions. But a few them are soooo pretty as to be worth it I think.

Hmm. http://magicplugin.normalitycomics.com/cardimages/tsp/152.jpg looks fine to me, so maybe your download was interrupted somehow. Delete it and try again?

Empty the Warrens is indeed working now! Was broken for both of us, so prob was broken at some point, but now isn't.

It's not so much that I like doing that, it's that Lackey is limited in its ability to deal with the situation. Saved decks, for instance, are loaded purely by card name and set, ignoring any further distinguishing info. So you save a deck with the Book Island, and when you load that deck later, maybe you have the Mill Island. I've not done thorough enough testing to really be sure how it would affect drafted packs, either (which means I'm not 100% sure the double-common Wastes in OGW is generating perfectly). In the absence of feature improvement to Lackey, I'm not sure this is something I'm equipped to handle better in the plugin.

Oh, I see. Unfortunate, but I understand. I might look into adding like five files manually with the Scryfall image and just giving them some goofy name. Idk.

You know, that's a good point. I probably should add the back-side text to the main card's text, much like how I format Kamigawa flip cards and adventurers. Thank you for the suggestion.

You're welcome!

Oh my goodness, if I was finding and replacing through all these text files, I would loose my mind! Thankfully my automated scripts pull all card data from Scryfall, so yes, when next I update the plugin it will include all available errata.

Knew it was somewhat, but didn't realize your process was fully automated, that certainly does make things easier!

The mystery continues. Which ones are missing for you? Is it card-playing sounds? And if so, do you have the same weird "@PT"/blank Sound field like dragostea mentioned?

I moved this one to the end, since its the most complicated. Yes, I have the same PT in the deck, nothing in the search as they do. But the thing is I don't think the problem is with the sounds, but with the downloading somehow. I went into the set files and if hopefully the forum formats this well enough, you'll be able to see that there's nothing between Rarity and Text, other than the few cards with scripts. There's a column for Sound, but its always empty in the txt files. All the generic sounds (Shuffle, Roll, etc) do seem to work. If you tell me what they are supposed to be, I can try to add the sounds to a couple cards in the txt file manually and see what happens.

Haven't posted in awhile, so I have quite a few things.

Thanks for adding all the silly Mystery Booster cards! And a bunch of reprint sets too!

Do you think you'll add the Chandra Spellbook with the awesome fire arts? What about the weird Secret Lair stuff?

I hadn't really noticed it, but I'm not getting some sounds either.

Time Spiral Empty the Warrens is a broken image.

I know you only like to add one land image per set. But could you maybe add more of the awesome Jumpstart ones? Especially the Dino Forest, the Treefolk Forest, the Goblin Mountain, and the Bird Plains? But really, they are all awesome.

Not a big deal, but if its easy to change, when I use your new cool 'Play Command' button, it doesn't do the script for the card the way playing from the hand or manually from the Command area does.

Is there any way to make the back side of the double faced cards show up on the normal search? We just found out about It That Rides As One, for instance, a way to give Odric trample. I know they are on the token page, but the search there doesn't look into the text, plus it would be nice to have the searchabilty all together while the image stays in tokens.

Hope you can do some Find and Replace All magic on their decision to finally make Mill a keyword...

Thanks again for all you do!

The new holiday card, Decorated Knight, doesn't seem to have an image.

Also, I'm just curious if you are going to add the weird 'playtest' cards. If you don't think they are worth the effort for something very few people will bother with, I def understand, but I was just wondering.
