I see you solve this problem by putting what I assume is the set name into the names of your tokens, like "Normal Leg Xelion [ASR]". I was hoping to avoid doing that for Magic, but it might be the best option.

It can actually spawn multiple cards, if you use "/spawnx3 cardname" for instance.

So far the Magic plugin has been using the same syntax in the carddata file, like "<s><l>Spawn Warrior</l><f>/spawn Warrior White 1/1 Token</f></s>". What's the syntax for spawning a card from a specific set?

Huh, the zero-cost kobolds were grouped by themselves instead of with red cards, and it threw off the order of everything. Fixed now.

Note that because I'm fixing this on the same date as the previous update, your plugin won't automatically download the new file, but it should if you tell it to update from the URL.

Anyone know a way to tell the spawn command which set you want? For instance, "/spawn Altar's Reap" just grabs the one with the latest set name, alphabetically. Is there a way to do something like "/spawn bfz/Altar's Reap"? I've tried out a few different syntactical guesses with no luck.

I'm glad that worked out. I don't know how or why Lackey just forgets some of its preferences like that, but it certainly can be jarring.

I just uploaded another update. Battlebond, Commander 2018, Global Series: Jiang Yanggu & Mu Yanling, and the schemes from Archenemy: Nicol Bolas should all be there. They (and M19 now, as well) have some basic scripts: ETB tapped, planeswalker loyalty, and flying.

The big thing left at this point is tokens. Tokens have been handled all sorts of different ways over the course of the plugin, saved with their names in all different formats, and I want to take the time to sit down and figure out a better system for them. Once that's done and the tokens themselves work, I'll update these latest sets with their convenient token-spawning scripts.

Hi Trevor, I'm not sure when you'll next be working on Lackey, or if this any kind of priority, but would it be possible to have nicer-looking resizing of card images in the view pane? Depending on how big the original image is, it's pretty pixelated when resized smaller, making text particularly hard to read.

(This just became much more noticeable after I switched to pulling from Scryfall, which uses a larger image size than Magiccards.info used to.)

Oof. Yeah, it seems worse on some than on others. Unfortunately I have no control over the interpolation method used within Lackey, nor over the size provided by Scryfall (without saving and serving thousands of images myself). I've always used the "card stretch" feature, but the interpolation is definitely more noticeable now. I don't know when Trevor will next get a chance to do any work on Lackey, but maybe I could post about it in the bug section since there's none specifically for feature requests.

Thank you all, likewise, for your patience and your feedback.

Sounds good. I just noticed that aftermath cards don't fetch their images. I'll fix that in the next update.

THANK YOU! Specific examples help so much. Turns out I made an error in the updatelist: I'd left out a file declaration, so it wasn't downloading those sets. I just uploaded a new version. Can you update your plugin and see if the cards show up now?

I've also gone in and fixed images for?I believe?every card already in Lackey, except for tokens. I even noticed a handful of planes and schemes were missing, so I put those in too. Obviously that's a hard thing to test exhaustively, so I appreciate a heads up if you find more cards missing entirely, with missing images, or with incorrect images.

Oy vey, when it rains it pours.

MunchKING, sorry to hear that. Do you mean that the images don't work / don't load, or are the cards themselves missing? Like do you open what was a 60-card deck and find it's actually fewer cards now?

P.S. And while you're here, you're not seeing a new table image, are you? I'm not even sure I CAN set a new one from the plugin, certainly not without a pluginpreferences file, which it doesn't include, but you never know...

Can you please be more specific? Do you just mean that the images are too large in file size, or do they actually appear too large in the interface? If they look too big in Lackey, can you post a screenshot of what's going on? Is on the table, in the view pane, or both?

The image files themselves are larger, but they should look basically the same within Lackey. If they're not, something is up and I need to figure out what. If you turn a card on the table face down, is the back the same size?

This is the only size Scryfall makes the images available in cropped mode. And the only smaller size at all is quite small, smaller than the plugin used previously. I don't really have a way to fetch a size like I used to use, unless I save every single image from Scryfall and save a resized version to my server, then serve them all from there, and... I really, really don't want to do that.

New tabletop? I'm not aware of a new tabletop. Did one of your preferences get changed somehow? Is anyone else seeing a new tabletop image?

May I ask what the problem is with the image size? Are they taking too long to download? If they're doing that annoying thing where they pop out of the card-viewing pane, that's fixable in your preferences. Preferences > Appearance > Card appearance preferences > Make card viewer image pop out on mouse over? [uncheck]

As long as that's set, I don't really see much of any difference on my end while using Lackey. Let me know if I'm missing something.

Johnny, M19 is up (albeit without tokens or much in the way of scripts yet).

Please not that this update changes over all the images to Scryfall's format, so you'll need to delete your [Lackey]/plugins/magic/sets/setimages folder to avoid weird display issues.

I've gone back and fixed (almost) all the sets so they will now correctly download images from Scryfall. Out of what was already in Lackey, I should now have correct images for everything EXCEPT:

• "Special" cards (like World Champion and the Hydra deck)
• Schemes
• Planes and Phenomena
• Vanguard avatars
• Reprint-only sets (like Modern Masters and Duel Decks)
• All tokens :' (

My next step is to... fix the rest of those things, as well as add newer sets:

• Battlebond
• Commander 2018
• Archenemy: Bolas (at least the schemes)
• Global Series

And I should update pack definitions too.

I may not be able to get back to this for a week or so, but hopefully this is enough to make things mostly functional for the time being.

If you encounter missing or incorrect images with cards other than what I listed above, please post about it in this thread.

Just an update: I am working on this today. With any luck, I can have the older sets working again later today.
