Hmm. I thought someone (ReubenCovington? dude1818?) had a Cockatrice export script, but I can't find it either on here or in my email.
No urgency on that, I realized that Cockatrice requires using 3rd party web apps to draft (none of which seem to support custom cards/sets) so the only use for Cockatrice would be to play Constructed formats with the custom cards. If you find it I'm still interested, but I have shifted my focus to Untap.in because they allow custom cards and support drafting (as well as constructed). Hence the other issue I just created about mockup images.
Nope, I've never exported cards from here
You can export to Magic Set Editor and then export from MSE to Cockatrice, if that helps.
I will give that a try, thanks!
So it doesn't seem like there is an easy way to export to MSE - the closest thing is exporting to XML and then trying to reformat the XML to match MSE's '.mse-set' syntax and saving it in a blank MSE set file. I've been running into enough roadblocks there that it might be faster/easier just to manually build each card in MSE...all 266 of them. XD
Is there yet an easy way to draft and playtest the cards made here in Cockatrice (or another software, I don't know any others)?
Multiverse doesn't generate images. You could try Shena'Fu's Card Creator's importer to generate card images en masse. The URLs to these images are simple: https://www.ieants.cc/magic/ccimg//.png , where would be the set's name.
As for Cockatrice, it would be trivial to write a client-side converter in HTML + JS. Since JS can handle XML or JSON as JS objects, the conversion should be straight-forward. Personally I would start with JSON, then convert to whatever final format.
