* Decks update

Copy decks to \MPS\decks\ like so:

MPS\decks\10E

etc. etc. with the same 3 letter abbraviation as the set.

Step 4. Download and install the set files update. Many sets' database files have not been updated for use with the latest version of MPS, so to be safe it's recommended that you install the set files update last. This also allows for the quick fix of any set typos or mistakes.

About creating sets:

1. Getting card images - MWSData Forum
2. Image manipulations - For rotations and resizing, try Easy Thumbnails. It's free and easy to use. It can do every step except the image type conversions.
3. Name.dat files - card names must be in alphabetical order. Names should conform to the Magic Workstation database. Basic lands should read "Forest (1)", "Forest (2)", etc.
4. Types should be: 0 creature, 1 enchantment, 2 artifact, 3 land, 4 instant, 5 sorcery. Planeswalkers are also 1.
5. Upload the sets to MediaFire so that they might easily be added to the User Content share folder.


***Hey, any mods that see this, I need my user name changed to transce080, please. You would be my hero.***

nice one dude

i can't make a good deck anymore... i haven't played since alliances.
started around the time legends came out. i can only make type I decks.

im sure theres been so many rules added on and certain time restrictions i could hardly play anymore.


edit: sometimes i wish i never sold my deck. it would be really nice to still have my power deck. *power 9, plus all the other early "regulars"* traditional red, white, and blue. red for damage, and white and blue for protection and countering. when your under the age of 18, $250 is a lot of money.

Well, 10th edition is a base set so it's not too fancy. A lot of the creatures are old standbys.

Oh wow, I've been waiting for something like this for ages, THANKS man,

I haven't played any MTG at all since starting Uni...brings back some good memories (and how light my wallet felt then )

Thanks

Do you mean a way to make a set for MPS? Yes! The instructions are in the readme. It's not hard but it's really boring. If you do, please let me know so I can share the links around the release threads.

Full infrastructure mode and i'm sold.

We're a long ways away from that. One step at a time, and next step is adhoc wifi.
