Tested on a computer, ctrl shift R does nothing on visual spoiler page
For whatever it's worth, I've also not had the cache problem; but I think the visual spoiler IS one of the pages that has extra server side caching; which has been known to go wrong.
But the main point - how to get the output size right - I'd also love to know. The one time I printed out I also ended up with dinky-size cards.
I'm on mobile and even after clearing my cache and switching browsers I still see my visual spoiler page revert back to a much older iteration all the time. It will update just fine for a while and then boom it's back to when I had 3 arts only lol.
Still this does bring up the fact that I should be trying to use a computer to format print pages in general
Edit: I've asked friends in other cities to look and they see the old version when it reverts.
Ctrl+shift+r refreshes the cache, so pressing that when you visit the site will ensure it's updated
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.
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)?
Have you tried pressing the 'Mark all cards as active" button on the skeleton page? My skeleton cells don't update until you do that.
Visual spoiler page is tough, I use the "view by sections" button to see more up to date visuals.
I find in general the caching doesn't trigger as much for edits as it does for new cards.
Edit: it's something similar with the missing page. I created an info page on my set and the link took a while to appear even though I could directly navigate to the page through my history.
TBH I think it's mainly my fault. I implemented a bunch of caching, several years back, to try to alleviate server load. That basically works; the site is faster now, especially on high-traffic cardsets (hah), than before I did that. But it caches too much and exceeds its memory quota. Eventually that builds up and the server uses so much memory that Heroku kills it and it has to restart.
Huh. I'm a LOT less sympathetic to them about the "Heroku has fallen down and can't get up" outages, if you're actually paying them for this.
Panic over, I suppose. Turns out as of a couple of years ago I'm paying $16 per month, which is $9/m for the database and $7/m for the "hobby dynos" that run the server.
I suspect I could get rather better performance for quite a lot less money if I were to move to something like AWS. (The URL would stay the same, as would the immediate hosting technology, Ruby on Rails; but the provider would change.) I'd need to take care of things like Ruby updates myself and be more vulnerable to security issues and suchlike, but it might still be worth it. But, well, as people are sadly rather aware, I'm not taking much time to maintain this site any more :/
Still, outdated and crusty and creaking as Multiverse is, seems like it's not going anywhere in the short term.
ha! turns out I'm already paying them for both halves. Phew, I guess?
😟
:'(
What is the cost to maintain this site, and what do you expect it to go to? There don't seem to be that many active users, so I don't imagine a paid tier here would have a big impact, but I'm curious
Their blog post announcing this: https://blog.heroku.com/next-chapter
I am not sure what color to put (because it is a feature suggestion to disallow instead of to allow something), so I didn't put it.
Here are the assets.
I would assume they would then be made to work in the manner of other hybrids, so {CW}, {CU}, {CB}, {CR}, and {CG}.
Additionally, having card frame colors of "Hybrid colorless-red" and so on would be neat but by no means necessary from the get-go.
I think, it's just something silly like the word "artifact" containing an 'r' and the colors using just their letter as identifier. :)
Maybe it is the OR searching, even though AND may be wanted instead; maybe it is an entirely different criteria. I don't know, though (I had not managed to get the search to work at all, but managed to search by downloading the XML.) (I would want to search by SQL, which can avoid this problem.)
E.g. using search for the type "Cleric" with the frame "Red" will yield Sculptor Medic and Ivory Priest in the results.
