Hi, i'm trying to change the source URL for the card images in order to have them displayed in french and i managed to get most of the card in french with some modification in the URL but i have multiple issues :

First issue :

When i only setup one URL from scryfall with the cards in french, double sided cards don't load (when i use the exact same URL without the translation, it works)
here's the URL i use :
https://api.scryfall.com/cards/!setcode_lower!/!set:num!/fr?format=image&face=!prop:side!

Second issue :

When i put two URL, the first one is translated and the second one is in default language (English), most of the cards that were translated when i used only the French link are now in English

What i am looking for :

I want to have double sided cards working in translated version, or at least most of cards in French and the other that don't load in English (like the double sided ones)

did you follow the guide on custom download urls on our github wiki?

burnt spindle Mar 16, 2024, 12:22 PM

#

yes i did

(and i don't know if it's possible to get French version on gatherer.wizards.com, i managed to get it with scryfall but with some partial issues, listed above)

#

when you use multiple urls they will be used in top to bottom order, did you put the french on at the top with the default ones below that?

#

did you use the delete downloaded images option?

burnt spindle Mar 16, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

i did put the french one on top of the english one

#

and some are in french, some are in english

#

but some that are displayed in english have a french version available on the french link

#

bcs if i put the french link alone, some of the english cards are displayed in french

burnt spindle Mar 16, 2024, 9:48 PM

#

coarse bridge did you use the delete downloaded images option?

and yes i click on this button every time i change a thing

#

#

the first pic is an example of what's happening when i put the two URLs, and the second one is when i only put the french one alone

#

(but it's only for some cards, and always the sames)

coarse bridge Mar 17, 2024, 8:56 AM

#

that's really strange, that would be a bug but I have no idea how that could happen, it doesn't try again or anything like that it just tries each url in order

#

I will have to try and reproduce this and get back to you

burnt spindle Mar 17, 2024, 2:13 PM

#

There might be two bugs, the first is that double sided cards and some special cards like that work only in English, and the fact that when there's a multiples source url, the first is not a priority

coarse bridge Mar 17, 2024, 9:05 PM

#

can you give me the precise setup you use with two urls?

rare terrace Mar 17, 2024, 11:06 PM

#

burnt spindle the first pic is an example of what's happening when i put the two URLs, and the...

I don't know about the others (but I believe the reason is the same) but the issue here is that the card yo uare requesting does not exist in French on Scryfall

burnt spindle Mar 17, 2024, 11:07 PM

#

Double sided cards exist on scryfall

rare terrace Mar 17, 2024, 11:07 PM

#

By default Cockatrice requests the SIR version of the card, which exists in English only. It doesn't find it, so it goes to the English version

burnt spindle Mar 17, 2024, 11:07 PM

#

And i want the missing cards in french displayed in english but sometimes, they exist in both but shows in English with the two url

rare terrace Mar 17, 2024, 11:08 PM

#

Disable the SIR set

#

Disable the PSOI set too for good measure

#

And you should see the French picture for that card

burnt spindle Mar 17, 2024, 11:08 PM

#

Mhh okay i'll try that later

rare terrace Mar 17, 2024, 11:11 PM

#

The issue is that the fallback system in Cockatrice does not account for the card potentially having the correct language in another set. It just sees that the card does not exist in French in the specific set it looks for it, and then goes on to the next URL in the list and fetches it in English

burnt spindle Mar 17, 2024, 11:35 PM

#

I didn't think about that but it might be a way to solve one of the issues

#

Thx

rare terrace Mar 17, 2024, 11:46 PM

#

Hoped to solve it by searching by name instead of set/number, but Scryfall doesn't seem to support name and language search at the same time

coarse bridge Mar 18, 2024, 9:33 AM

#

yeah if you give it a name you are expected to give the translated name

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 2:13 PM

#

is there a way to get translated cards with a gatherer.wizards.com link ?

coarse bridge Mar 18, 2024, 2:13 PM

#

not that I know

#

gatherer's image quality is lower too

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 2:14 PM

#

yeah ok

#

i just realized that there's not a lot of translated cards on scryfall even if they do exist in printed version IRL in french

#

but thx bcs it helped, i have to search for the expansion to remove (like double feature and stuff like that)

#

double sided cards are just not translated on scryfall too

coarse bridge Mar 18, 2024, 2:17 PM

#

which double sided card isn't translated for example?

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 2:18 PM

#

urabrask // the great work
Kindly Ancestor // Ancestor's Embrace

#

i assume no double sided are translated

#

but why Plaza of heroes is displayed in english on cockatrice with my french url :(((((((((

#

so random

#

it exist

coarse bridge Mar 18, 2024, 2:20 PM

coarse bridge Mar 18, 2024, 2:24 PM

or better, search for promo in the set editor, then hit ctrl a on the list and disable all of them

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 2:24 PM

you can also disable treasure chest, memorabilia, masterpiece, and spellbook

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 2:31 PM

yeah, those are all reprints

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 2:32 PM

commander master is only reprint ?

some aren't in french but in other langages

commander masters includes new cards

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 2:51 PM

rip then

you can prioritise sets

coarse bridge you can prioritise sets

okay !

move the set to the bottom of the list with the double down arrow on the left

no, clu also has new cards

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 2:55 PM

#

okay, when i have a doubt, i'll just down it

coarse bridge Mar 18, 2024, 2:55 PM

#

yeah, that's the safe option

#

you can also search for all normal expansions and core sets and move them to the top, that'd move them above other sets

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 2:58 PM

#

okay

#

how to filter these ?

coarse bridge Mar 18, 2024, 3:04 PM

#

search for expansions and move them and then do the same with core

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 3:06 PM

#

ok ok

#

should i disable all Historic Anthology sets too ? it's mtga sets i think

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 3:09 PM

#

coarse bridge search for expansions and move them and then do the same with core

i tried it but it's not the best idea because sometime it prioritize really old cards, like for arcane denial, and it's not even translated in this case, just found it out

coarse bridge Mar 18, 2024, 3:11 PM

#

ah, that could be, maybe move core down again then

#

maybe move up masters and commander sets instead

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 3:13 PM

#

masters 25 is an example of only english expansion i found

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 4:47 PM

#

is it possible to export the file that contain the list of all the expansion in the way i sorted it ?

#

in order to share it

coarse bridge Mar 18, 2024, 4:58 PM

#

yes

#

in the settings folder is a file "cardDatabase.ini"

#

note that new sets come out regularly

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 5:00 PM

yh

burnt spindle Mar 18, 2024, 5:21 PM

#

if i update the database, it will overlap all my changes ?

coarse bridge Mar 18, 2024, 5:25 PM

#

yes, when it finds sets that are not in the ini file it will show you a pop up with the option to either activate the new sets or to open the sets manager
