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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
How to link a card in the Cockatrice chat.
|
||||
==========================================
|
||||
|
||||
To link a card in the Cockatrice chat, type out the full name of the card,
|
||||
surrounded by the [card] and [/card] tags.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
[card]Black Lotus[/card]
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
How to link a URL in the Cockatrice chat.
|
||||
=========================================
|
||||
|
||||
To link a URL in the Cockatrice chat, type out the url, surrounded by the
|
||||
[url] and [/url] tags.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
[url]http://www.cockatrice.de[/url]
|
||||
[url]cockatrice.de[/url]
|
||||
|
