[CON] Apprentice Conflux Patch (Download Here!)

FirstType · 01-30-2009, 02:33 PM

Attached (also here for your convenience: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/attac...1&d=1233699132) is the Apprentice patch for Conflux.

This is a clean compile, using a self-authored program, from Gatherer, meaning it incorporates all the latest errata, including the changes in WotC's January 2009 Oracle/Rules Update Bulletin.

Enjoy!

And any feedback or comments are welcome.

Much thanks FirstType! Apprentice is the only way for me.

Always a pleasure that someone still cares about apprentice. Much thanks again for another wonderful patch!

As always, I too appreciate your efforts. But, a request. Since you build these automatically from Gatherer, would you consider in the future including some other sets? Such as Unglued, Unhinged, Master's Edition, and Master's Edition 2? I realize that the Un-sets can't be played over Apprentice, but it would be nice for those of us who use Apprentice as a deck database as well as a app for playing Magic.

Since you asked, I just uploaded a new version to the first post that now has Masters Edition and Masters Edition II. So just download it again if you want support for the Masters Editions.

However, I won't be supporting the Un- sets for a bunch of reasons: because a lot of the cards' functionalities can't be played in Apprentice anyway; because they cause weird stuff to show up in the card filters; because there's no way to represent a lot of the visual gags; and because there's no official errata for outdated text templating in the Un- sets (for example, Unglued creatures still have "Summon" in their type lines).

Also, my compiler program pulls straight from Gatherer, and Gatherer gives incorrect text for several Un- cards, including "B.F.M. (Big Furry Monster)".

I would also have to rewrite my compiler program to have exceptions for weird things in Un- cards. "Erase (Not the Urza's Legacy One)" has italics formatting; the one-half pow/tough is rendered oddly in Gatherer; etc.

I can't get it to work. I open the file, then nothing happens.

The patch isn't an executable; it's a ZIP archive. Use a program like WinZip to extract it to your Apprentice programs folder.

I hope FirstType doesn't mind my using his thread, but in response to Pichoro's request, my patch includes Unglued and Unhinged, as well as several other features (including, but not limited to, the only English-language list of cards for the 2006 invitational duplicate sealed event, those made up cards that occasionally appear on April Fools Day at mtg.com, and actual flavour text (at least on some cards)). It can be found here.
