draft server is cool. but according to wotc, sealed is a better format to test new sets. so i hope multidraft can do sealed.

edit: it seems there is already a MTG JSON project. (http://mtgjson.com/) . it's a good starting point, however, i would try to normalize the data.

2013-12-02 11:37:36: Alex commented on More options in Export

I'm certainly up for that in theory. I should mention that Chowlett is working (theoretically with some help from me) on a web-based draft server, Multidraft, designed to integrate with Multiverse. But I think a nice standardised export format such as JSON ought to be compatible with both of those.

i want a JSON format that could work with a hypothetical custom-set playtesting webapp. we would have to work out the formating, although i do have a working one from a previous project. however XML may do for now to test the app. (ideally the webapp should accept other popular formats as well. main thing i'm concerned is how comprehensive those formats are and how they handle complex cards, like split cards.)

benefits of JSON are
1. can contain any and all data about a set, cards, and other data in a single file.
2. can handle cards, sets, and pack data, etc. of any complexity
3. easily parsed by javascript and other languages
4. application-neutral. any software can read and write the format easily

2013-11-29 11:52:54: Vitenka commented on Edit Comment - Back - Front Page?

hmm; it's probably trying to grab it from some header that my browser isn't presenting. I'd assumed it was being created from something passed in to the comments page itself.

2013-11-29 10:24:11: Alex commented on Edit Comment - Back - Front Page?

Wergle. For me, editing that comment gives Back.

But anyway, yes, the "back" link is pretty unnecessary there, I may as well just remove it.

Somewhat distressingly, the Rails source for that is

<%= link_to "Back", :back %>

In other words, the Rails special constant :back appears not to be initialised for you guys. Somehow.

2013-11-29 08:46:24: Vitenka commented on Edit Comment - Back - Front Page?

Test
This one
URL on the 'Back' link is: http://multiverse.heroku.com/
No javascript even, the source shows: Back

2013-11-28 21:45:56: Alex commented on Edit Comment - Back - Front Page?

Hm. I don't see this behaviour. The "back" link to me is a link to the comment thread for the card or cardset on which the comment was. Can you post a precise comment for which you see this?

Heh. Fair enough. It's certainly easy enough to do.

2013-09-27 04:25:57: Circeus commented on Watermarks are on top of card text

Lovely. Seems to work fine!

2013-09-27 04:16:03: Circeus commented on Colored Artifact Sorting

It's fixed on my set too (including the same issue wit planeswalkers)

2013-09-27 01:03:56: Alex commented on Colored Artifact Sorting

I believe this should now be fixed. The front pages of Archester and Link's Cards report no more cards in category coloured_artifact or planeswalker. Let me know if you see more problems like this.

2013-09-27 01:03:48: Alex edited Colored Artifact Sorting:

fixed

2013-09-27 00:49:46: Alex commented on Watermarks are on top of card text

There you go. Let me know if you see any other oddnesses around watermarks, or around text box resizing.

I think what I tried before was position:absolute, which would have had significant other problems; position:auto doesn't allow z-index to apply; but position:relative seems to hit the sweet spot in between.

2013-09-25 23:47:13: Alex commented on Watermarks are on top of card text

Argh! The fix seems to work locally, but I'm encountering unrelated difficulties when trying to push it up to Heroku :/

2013-09-24 10:02:42: Alex commented on Watermarks are on top of card text

Hmmm. I'm sure I tried that before too, but at the moment, it seems like giving the rulestext or rulestextwrapper position:relative and z-index:2 seems to work fine.

I'll make that change and see if we can find any problems with it.

2013-09-23 16:30:14: Circeus commented on Watermarks are on top of card text

Is it a possibility then to eat least, y'know, layer the text on top of the image instead of the other way around?

2013-09-23 15:57:34: Alex commented on Watermarks are on top of card text

I know that was my original approach. I think there were problems with the javascript that resizes text to make it fit. I think I've been back to the code once or twice and thought "why isn't this just a background image?", and made it so, and encountered the problem again and gone "oohh, that's why it isn't".

But I should give this another look.

2013-09-20 17:27:33: Link commented on Colored Artifact Sorting

I'm having the same issue now, for what it's worth.

2013-09-20 17:24:08: Shiny_Umbreon commented on Colored Artifact Sorting

Thanks for the temporal solution.

2013-09-20 12:09:46: Alex commented on Colored Artifact Sorting

Hm. Okay, I definitely need to investigate the glitches here some more.

I've sent you an email with a way you can work around the glitches for now. I've got a very busy week but I'll try to get this fixed very soon.

2013-09-20 03:25:27: Shiny_Umbreon commented on Colored Artifact Sorting

Right now, some colored artifact cards I've edited (not all) are under Colorless with Eldrazi and such. Also, one of the planeswalkers I edited is now listed in the category "Planes".

But I don't see the "Colored_Artifact Color" thing. Is there a way I can manually fix this?
