ah, URLs with underscores don't work in card text, sorry
Well I've had a bunch of energy and I'm now about half way through creating a python script that converts XML exports to MSE files
I am currently not supporting images, DFC's or planeswalkers. However unless I run into any major issues I'll have the first version up sometime next week.
I guess I'll have a try at creating a converter after Christmas.
Well, you can print the Visual Spoiler easily (use the "Printable" link at top-right). Or assemble decks on details pages then print those, like I did here or here.
But if you're set on using MSE's frames rather than Multiverse's... I fear not. I've not had the energy to work on Multiverse for months. I spent one evening in the past month looking into this feature and the findings weren't promising (using the filesystem as scratch space on Heroku dynos is rather tricky / unreliable), so I don't even know whether my current plan would actually function at all.
Does MSE have an "import from CSV / XML / JSON" feature? Those are fairly standard transfer formats which Multiverse does provide.
I really would like to make Multiverse more compatible with MSE because a bunch of people would use it more regularly. I just haven't had the energy.
Any possibility of this feature by the end of the year to allow easy printing of the Tesla set for playtesting?
A laptop, but I've been having resolution problems ever since I got it a few weeks ago.
600 x 1280
What device is this? This should only be a problem on small screens, but I try fairly hard to detect small screens and switch to an alternate layout in that case (Where the mockup doesn't lock). Can you tell me what device and the numbers from http://whatsmybrowsersize.com/ ?
Afraid indeed it is. I've had so little time to work on Multiverse recently.
This long-standing request is still standing!
Yeah, fair enough. Following the "you could guess what I meant" principle. Good plan.
I admit, it's been a little niggling pain for years. Split cards are the type of card I'm most interested in viewing before posting.
Did I report this already?
(As always, not a big issue, not urgent to fix, but I want to report bugs in case you have time later to do a bunch of UI fixes, or in case one reflects a security issue.)
I would also love this feature
For example, if I try (((c12345))) it appears as a dead link, not Vexing Aethergeller (I capitalized the C in the second try). This also holds for full names: (((cogwork bull))) instead of Cogwork Bull.
I was looking for this too, it would be great if this could happen.
Yeh thats me! I'm Doombringer on the MTGsalvation forums but Reuben Covington in most other places.
I like the second option a lot as most of the time Multiverse is used for more early development, group projects and getting feedback where the pictures isn't always as important but the ability to update quickly and keep track of changes is.
Oh. Yeah, that cardset has way too many cards to show on one list. That's not going to work. The Visual Spoiler does though.
I've been wanting to make improvements to the cardlist for years, but as well as being rather busy, it's also rather a hard problem to figure out what to do.
I'm working on this. I've got a couple of buttons that appear at the top of the skeleton and the cardlist. Needs some careful fiddling to make it work properly with caching, permissions etc, so it's taking longer than I might have hoped. But it's coming.
I just listened to the podcast interview with Inanimate. I didn't realise you were Reuben C from Goblin Artisans!
So one idea I had was that I could just say that if you want to move a set back and forth between MSE and Multiverse, you upload the card artwork to some website (imgur, your own website, Dropbox, whatever). Then Multiverse assumes the card art URL is [server_root]/[card_code].jpg or [server_root]/[card_name].png or whatever. That doesn't really help me when I want to export from Multiverse to MSE though - I'd still need to download all the images to create the MSE file.
Another thing I could do is phrase the operation not as "Export to MSE", but rather as "Update" an existing MSE file from Multiverse. This will keep whatever card artwork is already in the MSE file. You'd upload the MSE file to Multiverse, it modifies it by updating all the rules text, card names/types/etc, and then re-zips it up and lets you download the modified MSE file.
Yeh art MSE2 -> Multiverse isn't really an issue if you allow to set a image directory but your right that it doesn't work the other way around.
Not sure of a good fix their...
Maybe I just need to update MSE2 sometime in the future to support hosted images.
Bugging me about it is completely fine by me :)
I've been wondering, actually. An MSE set and a Multiverse set have a few different assumptions. In particular, Multiverse assumes that the card art and card renders will be hosted on some other website (because I don't want to have to deal with image hosting myself, and the associated collateral such as making sure people don't store porn here). An MSE set assumes the images are included in the archive. That's hard to translate either way round.
I'll just keep bugging you about it every now and then as the inability to exort back and forth between MSE2 is probably the main reason I don't use Magic Multiverse more for my personal sets.
That would be precisely the kind of thing I imagined.
Mmm, I could see providing tickboxes on the cardlist to turn active on/off, and perhaps buttons on the skeleton saying "Mark all cards in skeleton as active" and "Mark all cards not in skeleton as inactive". Would that address your needs?
EDIT: I see now that this is an optional mode for generating boosters. Now that I have discovered this, I want to suggest that it (1.) becomes easier to check/change activation status. (2.) becomes an option that automatically updates activation status dependent on the design skeleton.
