M:TG (193 theme decks)

[ethanvampirehntr]

hey Trevor,
so JRJurman and I are making good progress with the spell checker program. It's nearly done and already incorporated with DeckDownloader.py . One small problem tho. In the sets folder in the magic plugin both planechase.txt and zendikarblock.txt have a unicode character that cannot be read in utf8. (the spell checking program uses the sets folder as a dictionary of card names). To fix this, we had to open and save those files in gedit (a notepad like program for linux) and then it just removed the unknown unicode character. I don't know where the character is specifically, but if this spell checking program is going to be incorperated into the DeckDownloader, people will need change (or someone will need to update) those files, without the weird character.

because I have nothing better to do thanksgiving break (I really don't lol), I decided to see if I could fix some of the errors of the deckdownloader-thingamajig.

so I took all the cards from the sets folder in lackey, and checked if the cards in the decks downloaded matched up with them. 51 cards printed out... so... I guess I'll be figuring out a way to make a spell checking program in python to fix those cards.

I'm gonna work with JRJurman to create a spell checking method in the deckDownloader.py. I'll post all of this in the top post, as well as a new zip for the theme Decks (btw, just counted, 193 decks).

These are the cards that had errors... although some of them (Knight of Dawn) work perfectly fine.

A card with a name like "?ther" or "J?tun" should import correctly since I posted the latest Lackey. Let me know if you find that not to be the case.

hey Trevor,
so JRJurman and I are making good progress with the spell checker program. It's nearly done and already incorporated with DeckDownloader.py . One small problem tho. In the sets folder in the magic plugin both planechase.txt and zendikarblock.txt have a unicode character that cannot be read in utf8. (the spell checking program uses the sets folder as a dictionary of card names). To fix this, we had to open and save those files in gedit (a notepad like program for linux) and then it just removed the unknown unicode character. I don't know where the character is specifically, but if this spell checking program is going to be incorperated into the DeckDownloader, people will need change (or someone will need to update) those files, without the weird character.

Give me a link to this troublesome character. I will see if I can get Lackey to import it as something usable, or at least gracefully ignore it.

these two files... I found the unicode error... in the last line of the code, 43, the words "can't" has a weird character where " ' " is. I don't know where the problem is in the zendikarblock.txt... it's over 600 lines >.<.

btw, spell checker is very very nearly done, wishes Wizards Of the Coast had the community support that lackeyCCG does.

OK it is finished. 193 decks, perfect spelling for lackeyCCG (using the lackeyCCG card database).... and all is well. I don't know what to say.... ummmm, wizards of the coast needs to update their database... THAT WOULDA HELPED.
oh i'm posting the new python DeckDownloader and ThemeDecks.zip in the main post.
The DeckDownloader now needs to be in the magic plugins folder (next to the sets folder- where it spell checks, and next to a decks folder- where it creates the new decks).

If anymore updates need to be made, or it's not working, message back, or pm me.
I still need to get the new sets to work... i guess i'll do it tomorrow... or sometime within the next week or so.

Trevor, here is a zendikarblock.txt that does not have a weird unicode character in it. I used gedit to save the file without the unicode character.
EDIT: Trevor, found the error, in line 524 and 461 there is a unicode error in zendikarblock... not the one I attached here, but the one that comes in the lackeyCCG magic plugin (magic/sets/zedikarblock.txt)

I don't make that plugin by the way. I was just interested because of the character parsing.

[ethanvampirehntr]

ah, well... ok thanks anyway. i think i'll try to contact the people more involved with magic plugin, versus just lackeyccg in general. thanks for your help tho Trevor!

Hi all, I am fairly new to use LackeyCCG and want to download all of the theme decks at once but am unsure how to run DeckDownloader.py.

Thanks for any help.
