Archenemy Backs

Post by Niegen »

Got tired of the regular MtG background, so when I stumbled upon this, I quickly made those :

That would be so cool to have an Archenemy mod in Wagic that YOU play against 2 AI opponents, LOL...

Anyone managed to add Archenemy to sets? Just the card reprints not the oversized cards, obviously.

I just d/l the Archenemy set this morning but I can't find the corresponding id numbers at the gatherer.

I was thinking that since it is unrealistic to assume that two AI opponents can be coded for the PSP that maybe Archenemy can be modified so that the AI is the Archenemy and the player gets 30 to 40 life to compensate for the lack of a partner. A three player multiplayer game for the PSP would probably make the cards unreadable during play. I may be wrong about that as I have never played Multiplayer Wagic.

The Archenemy card sets would be easy to add, assuming that most or all are working from the Wagic sets that we have available. I am just not sure about the Scheme cards. Can they be treated like free world enchantments or would they have to be coded into Wagic seperately?

I have completed the card dat file for all the cards in Archenemy as they appear on the Gatherer. Including Scheme Cards, there are only 155 cards listed there.

While it is true that Wagic can not support Scheme cards as of this writing, for sake of completeness we should have them in the event that an encyclopedia function is added to Wagic or these scheme cards actually get added to the game.

I am missing Archenemy ids for a large number of Archenemy cards not listed at the Gatherer for example:

Forests (2)
Hellkite Charger
Imperial Hellkite
Islands (2)
Mountains(2)
Plains (2)
Plots That Span Centuries
Swamps (2)

Your Inescapable Doom (promo) I can't find either a good picture or an id.
Plots that Span Centuries (promo)I can't find an id.
Perhaps you've met my Cohort (promo) I can't find either a good picture or an id.

I hope to send to Abra a HQ and PSP friendly set once I get the missing ids sorted out over the next few days or so.

I'm thinking Archenemy may need to be done in six sets:

Archenemy Promo cards
Main body (what's on Gatherer)
the four Archenemy decks

Now, if somebody has already done this please let us know...

Thanks KF1 - I noticed the same thing on Gatherer - very strange that some are missing. I look forward to your work, even if partial.

Okay update:

The Archenemy set I d/l to convert to Wagic is missing:

1. A single Plains card. All other basic lands were present in threes but The Gatherer didn't have more than one picture of the Archenemy basic lands or more than one basic land ID. I improvised and copied one of the Plains took the good Plains ID number and extrapolated from there after searching for any conflicting ID numbers. I did this for all the basic lands.

2. The following Promo Scheme cards are still missing ID numbers:

Your Inescapable Doom (promo) I can't find either a good picture or an id.
Plots that Span Centuries (promo)I can't find an id.
Perhaps you've met my Cohort (promo) I can't find either a good picture or an id.

At this time, I plan to cut them out. I can add them in later or put them in a mini-set like Champs once the IDs become available.

3. I have Gatherer IDs for all the remaining cards for Archenemy using what Gatherer shows. I don't think this willcause a problem in Wagic as it should reference the ARC zip set as the cards are numbered there. I had to scroll through the Gatherer's Two-Headed Dragon entry to make sure the Gatherer ID matched the Archenemy card picture. LOL

4. I would like to use the Archenemy card back as the "Booster Pack" image for this set but I'm not 100% sure how to alter the booster file in the ARC set folder. I do know how to get the Card back properly sized in the graphics folder as a trophy though.

My priority is PSP version but I will test the set out on PC first and forward my work to Abra as it is completed. It will take me a day or two more. Real life, go figure... LOL

Okay it's 1:37 Am and I completed the PSP version of Archenemy and sent it to Abrasax for additional input before he adds this to the PSP collection.

I added the promo Scheme cards in the event that we can actually use them or at least look at them later in Wagic.

I didn't add the missing promo Scheme cards to the dat file.

Somebody else can do the HQ versions and the actual coding of the Schemes. I used the (properly resized .png) Archenemy back as the Unlocked trophy.

Can someboy add Archenemy to the svn and make a link for the updated svn?

I know the scheme cards are not going to be added right now but I like the Archenemy mtg card set and the majority of those cards are playable.

Thanks in advance.
