Recent updates to Multiverse Feedback: (Generated at 2024-04-28 23:32:37)
Fixed
couldn't live any longer with the typo in the title
Just testing with the other link format... yep, that does it too. I imagine this has the same cause as Markdown Indentation no longer works.
See: Example
Edit: Nevermind
Confirmed. I found the bug; working on a fix.
BTW, yeah, I agree it makes more sense to create separate new bug reports for things that haven't been mentioned yet. (I'm still aware of the caching problem; that one's proving harder to track down.)
Confirm, same for me on set 6.
Might be one of the Lingering Bugs from Update.
All of that exists already, as I recall from writing a program that reads the JSON/XML, it's just not part of the import interface. I imagine there would need to be some sanity checks on the "Other_ID" (the fields are called "multipart", "link-id"/"parent-id" in XML export).
OK, good you have added colour indicator and active; thank you. (Later I might update my export template to support exporting them to Multiverse, but not at this time.)
The Magic: the Gathering template in TeXnicard uses columns in the database table: "Kind" (normal, split, double-face, melded, etc), "Secondary" (boolean, for back faces of double-face cards, etc), "Meld_ID" (only for meld cards), and "Other_ID". Each part of the card is a separate record in the database; the "Meld_ID" and "Other_ID" fields link the two parts together.
I don't know if you want to do similar in Multiverse or not.
I've added
colour_indicator
,active
andwatermark
to the importable fields.Still need a way to import/export mechanics and the multipart frames.
fixed at last
Ensure also that any new features of cards that are added can work with import and export too, please.
I think that allowing you to write on your user page can be helpful, in case you want to mention different communications, e.g. email (for private messages), NNTP (for public messages), etc. This is possible in a card set page already, but not in the user page.
It is possible to render it server side, perhaps by using the same part of the software that renders it on the web browser (I have seen things containing automated screenshots of HTML documents before, so I would think that it is probably possible).
Rendering on the client side is also possible. This seems to be the element(s) with the ".cardborder" CSS selector. If a browser extension can make screenshots based on CSS selectors, whether or not they are in view, then this can help, I suppose. (I don't know if there is any.)
An alternative is to use external programs to render the cards However, MSE doesn't import (unless they changed that recently and I am unaware), and TeXnicard doesn't currently include any rendering templates for Magic: the Gathering.
Argh. Wow. I guess my Markdown library has got tweaked? That's really weird.
Should be indented:
> Indented text intended here.
Related: when I hit the site via HTTPS, everything mostly works except the on-hover card previews from the skeleton. I get "Blocked loading mixed active content" in the console. I suspect all that's needed to fix this is to make sure that XHR requests use the same protocol as the page was loaded under. In HTML you can usually write links in the form "://www.magicmultiverse.net/path/to/page" (omitting the leading "http" or "https") and the browser will do the right thing both ways. I'm not sure about JavaScript.
The "Special Details Pages" ComboBox also doesn't work properly: It fails to insert the special title into the appropriate text field (the title is left blank).
I came across this trying to create a new Front Page.
Marking a post as adressed/unadressed or highlighting them doesn't show the change in status immediately, a manual refresh of the page is needed.
(You tell us if yu prefer filing separate bug reports, right?)
The totals for rarity and color/s item are now shown on the page where one generates a set skeleton.
Yikes! No, I wasn't aware of that - though I was aware of intermittent caching problems on the individual cardset recent changes pages. Thanks for the heads up: I'll look into it.
Right, yes, that's sadly accurate. There in fact never is an image - not on the server side. It's only the browser that creates it.
I think it might be possible to render it server-side - MTGNexus manages it somehow. So this is at least possible. And I have sometimes wanted it myself... when I was creating the FICG Equestria Girls set to playtest on Cockatrice I throw together a little script to go through the Visual Spoiler screengrabbing each card and saving it out as a named image onto the local hard drive. I ought to be able to provide some way for anyone to do that.
I don't think I'm going to provide a way to link to those images though. I'd probably need to step up the amount I pay my hosting servers to let MagicMultiverse serve that much bandwidth.
Is it still on your radar that caching for the recent updates page is still broken? By which I mean I still need to clear my cache every time to see new updates
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
I will give that a try, thanks!
You can export to Magic Set Editor and then export from MSE to Cockatrice, if that helps.
