Hello, I'd like to register a little complaint. I was remaking my 40k commander decks via downloads in order to get the appropriately themed prints, and when I was going through the card catalog in deck editor, I found that you guys only had one faction's card reprint for a lot of the 40k cards (I.E. only having the chaos wayfayer's bauble and not the necron one). Was there some trouble coding in all the arts for all the cards? I just would like to know, since I kind of want to make sure each 40k commander deck has the appropriate skins for each faction. I'm kind of a perfectionist that way. If you need it, here's the official 40k universes beyond card list just in case it helps you code the remaining cards into the card catalog, but I just want to let you guys know that if it was too much for your coding team to code all of the skins in I fully understand and accept that. Thanks! https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/card-image-gallery/warhammer-40000-commander-decks
#40k incomplete card skins in card catalog
64 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Actually, I just googled if you can scan card pics into forge after going the #images section of our discord group, and I think I might be able to scan in card pics that way and add them to the card catalog, but I may need some help doing it. Could anyone help me with that by giving me a list of instructions on how to do it? Thanks!
I can see that you're on the latest snapshot so you're up to date so that's good
For starters, we don't "code" in the card art. The way it's done is a singular script is made for a card... so in your example Wayfarer's Bauble, this was first scripted years ago when it was first printed
For the art, they are defined inside edition files. So for 40k the edition file should show as follows (which it does)
That shows there are four available for this set (two necron, two chaos)
Here they are showing in Forge
Can you check if in your deck editior you have this ticked?
Unique Cards Only
If ticked it will only show one
@blissful leaf I ticked it but the only one I had was this one.
Can you untick it and show me the 40k edition?
I only have the chaos one.
and the second one is a chaos one too?
Yep.
Are you using the mobile port?
I'm on mac book.
I can see Kev typing he might know more about why
i think there's a bug on snapshot since I purposely disable the etched art (and other duplicated art... I really don't like duplicated etched with the same art)... guess I fixed it here on my local copy... should be fixed on next snaps..
Ah there we go
if you want all card art (including the etched art and any duplicate art) you might want to use release version @celest shadow
@shut vortex I'm on a mac book air and I'm not sure how do everything on forge. I'd appreciate some help.
you can't unless you edit the source code and compile it by yourself
@shut vortex Can you give me directions on how to do that?
I think what has happened is Kev has disabled the etched artworks... if you look at this image here
the art is numbered.... so 1 normal, 2 etched, 3 normal, 4 etched
You have images picking up 1 & 2 which is the same card twice (normal and etched)
But just a guess
@shut vortex I went to the content downloader and clicked download skins, but I'm not sure what to do from there.
That's nothing to do with art for cards
@blissful leaf Well then, I'm really not sure what to do unless the forge admins go back and start adding in all the card images for the 40k cards.
We don't need to add them, Kev has replied and says it's a bug
@blissful leaf Ok, but you also have not added in Seeker of Slaanesh to the card catalog as well. I hope you can take care of these bugs and get all the 40k card faces into forge in the next update. Thanks!
Seeker is missing because it's complicated to code. That's not a bug
@blissful leaf Ok, I added tectonic giant in its place due to googling a recommended update for the chaos deck. I hope the bug gets fixed soon.
The collector id is filtered but the artid is not hence the bug. If both are filtered then the art works fine.
@shut vortex How do I search for an art id and collector id as well?
You don't
should be fixed on next snaps..
Just wait and try the new snapshot in a day or two and it will be fixed
Ok, I was mostly asking because I was having trouble finding the 40k plains in deck editor. Is there a way to advance search a specific set for cards in deck editor?
@shut vortex Out of curiousity, why was seeker of slaanesh so hard to code into forge?
You already asked about this and the answer is still the same
@blissful leaf Oops sorry!
Above the tick box for unique cards from earlier there's a magnifying glass, click that and you can filter by formats and sets etc.
Look for it in the relevant type on the left and tick the box...
@blissful leaf Would that be commander.
Click it and find out? lol
Sorry but I can't hold your hand through this, explore the program
The arrows are drop down, click them to expand
@blissful leaf Sorry, it's just that I've never done this before. I usually have my sister's boyfriend help me download and create decks via finding them on sites like tapped out and moxfield.
That's fine I'm just saying I can't spend this much time telling you everything to click, just click stuff and see what you find
Got it, though I do wish that there was some way to select all the check boxes I want to turn off at once. It's a bit annoying to have to check every single one off by myself.
You select the ones you want to see not the ones you want to turn off...
@blissful leaf I just figured that out, but thanks!
