My 'sets' files- corrected many errors

Post by baldersmashed »

I have spent the last few days checking out errors that people have reported with the set files that come with Wagic, as well as a lot of errors that have been reported (and found by me) with sets that exist, but aren't part of the original download. These sets include:

-8th Edition
-9th Edition
-Antiquities
-Apocolypse
-Exodus
-Fifth Dawn
-Future Sight
-Guildpact
-Judgment
-Legends
-Morningtide
-Onslaught
-Planar Chaos
-Planeshift
-Ravnica
-Stronghold
-Urza's Saga
-Urza's Legacy
-Urza's Destiny
-Visions
-Weatherlight

As well as corrections, there are a few additions of cards that weren't coded in a few sets that are able to be done now.
By no means does this mean there are NO errors in these sets.
IMPORTANT EDIT: Please note that if you downloaded either of the files that were originally in this post, you may have a folder named STR in your sets directory. If you do, you may safely delete that folder as it is a duplicate of the STH folder, only the .dat should be smaller.

Credit for these sets go to their original authors.

Beauty! Any chance you can post just the _card.dat files for those of us condemned to dial-up?

No problem! I thought about that, but I guess I just got lazy after taking on the task of getting all this worked out AND completing my 8th edition set in just the past 48 hrs.

I do tend to have a lot of free time late at night and try to work with this as much as possible. I know I want my Wagic experience to be as great as my 13 years of Magic experience, so I try to support in whatever ways I can. If I knew c++, I would help your efforts to better Wagic, but, alas, I haven't a bit of knowledge on the subject. :cry:

Many many thanks for that and for the 8th edition set - I had picked that as my first one also and was nearly complete but your coding is excellent.

Edit - the file without images shows up as 33 MB - I wonder if some images were included by mistake as just the dats should be a couple of megs at most.

Sorry to undercut your work!
You should still upload it so maybe we can look and see if their are any errors in either one or missed cards as well. I have NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER with someone else working with materials I have created for Wagic and making them better.

There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 33-36 .dat files uploaded in that zip. These include all the ones that come with Wagic releases. That would equal out to be about the size you are seeing. I may be able to break it down further if it still poses a problem. :D

Nor do I, certainly - particularly when they do a better job :)

Sorry about the hassles over the download size, but I do wonder if something isn't amiss. The cards.dat files for the biggest sets usually only runs about 60 KB each.

Discovered thumbnail.db existed in every folder taking up about 1 meg each. The new download is less than 200 KB zipped.
