How to update the card database
|
||||||
|
===============================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When a new set comes out, you need to update your card database to be able to
|
||||||
|
see the new cards in the deck editor and use them in the game. To do this,
|
||||||
|
open the Oracle tool in the Cockatrice folder. It's a stand-alone program and
|
||||||
|
is run directly out of the folder without running Cockatrice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When the Oracle tool is running, open the menu and select 'Download sets
|
||||||
|
information'. Use the suggested address and click OK. After at most a few
|
||||||
|
seconds, you should be presented a list of sets to be downloaded. Do not
|
||||||
|
uncheck the ones you already have: they should be downloaded again. Click
|
||||||
|
'Start download' and wait. When the process is finished, the database should
|
||||||
|
be up to date.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Change Card Art / Custom Card Art
|
||||||
|
=================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Is it possible to change the card art for a specif card, not by changing the
|
||||||
|
set order in my deck editor?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
YES! It is actually very simple.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All you have to do is get a .JPG of the card you wish to change and name the
|
||||||
|
actual file of the image to the cards (exact) name and add ”.Full” to the end.
|
||||||
|
You can then take this new card image and replace the old one in your
|
||||||
|
downloaded image folder.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
NOTE: Image size does not matter. Try to use a high resolution .JPG of the
|
||||||
|
card you want to use for best quality.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
EXAMPLE: Let's say you wish to turn your M11 Sun Titan from its original art
|
||||||
|
to a promo version.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using Windows 7, you can find the default location for the
|
||||||
|
Cockatrice card art files under
|
||||||
|
C:\Program Files (x86)>Cockatrice>pics>downloadedPics
|
||||||
|
Once there, look for the folder of the
|
||||||
|
set for the card we are replacing. For this example, Sun Titan is in the M11
|
||||||
|
folder. Open the folder and paste/replace your new “Promo” Sun Titan.full[.JPG]
|
||||||
|
into this folder, discarding the original copy. (If you have
|
||||||
|
not yet downloaded the original image of a card by selecting it in the deck
|
||||||
|
editor or playing it in an online game, the card image will not yet be there)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once you have the new card image in the proper folder, you can now start
|
||||||
|
Cockatrice (Or re-start if you already had the program open)and select the
|
||||||
|
deck editor to see your new card image.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are changing the art of a card that has multiple versions in other
|
||||||
|
sets, make sure you put the new card in whatever folder (or set) is highest
|
||||||
|
on your card database set list.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
NOTE: Other players on Cockatrice will NOT see your new card image. They will
|
||||||
|
only see whatever version of the card is in their database.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use Higher Resolution Cards
|
||||||
|
===========================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Can you get better/higher resolution card art than the default downloaded card
|
||||||
|
images already used?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Yes!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you click on a card for the first time in the Deck Editor, Cockatrice
|
||||||
|
goes onto the internet and finds an image of that card from a database on
|
||||||
|
another website.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you find a higher resolution .JPG of a card that you wish to use on your
|
||||||
|
Cockatrice, you can replace the image with no problem. If you can find a card
|
||||||
|
image in the 3,000 by 1,000 pixel range, and save it as the cards (exact) name
|
||||||
|
and add .Full to the end.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using Windows 7, you can find the default location for the
|
||||||
|
Cockatrice card art files under C:\Program Files
|
||||||
|
(x86)>Cockatrice>pics>downloadedPics. Once there, look for the folder of the
|
||||||
|
set for the card you are replacing. (If you are not running Cockatrice as an
|
||||||
|
administrator, look in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program
|
||||||
|
Files (x86)\Cockatrice\pics\downloadedPics.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Open the folder of the set with the card, and paste/replace the new higher
|
||||||
|
resolution .JPG image with the old low quality one.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This process is the same for changing cards to custom images.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
NOTE: Other Cockatrice players will not see your higher resolution card art,
|
||||||
|
they will only see the image they have in their own database.
|
||||||
|

||||||

Booster Drafts
|
||||||
|
==============
|
||||||
|
Cockatrice does not support booster drafts, so players need to use an
|
||||||
|
external service for this.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most people use http://ccgdecks.com/ so it's probably not a bad idea to
|
||||||
|
register an account there before joining a game in Cockatrice.

||||||
|
==========================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To link a card in the Cockatrice chat, type out the full name of the card,
|
||||||
|
surrounded by the [card] and [/card] tags.

|
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
