Posted on Dec. 26, 2014, 5:34 p.m. by Femme_Fatale
This thread shall be where I post my announcements of which cards I have added to the database as Fate Reforged gets revealed.
We shall start of with the first card spoiled through the WotC archives right on Christmas Day:
Ugin, the Spirit Dragon

There are 10 new land pictures here, I might recommend adding them.

Whoops, I literally posted that 10 seconds after you did, Femme_Fatale.

The thread title: "let's add those cards"
....
I mean, that's not what the thread is about, but I'm still going to make the joke....

I'm adding all the cards revealed today. Needed, but missing types this far:
Zombie Fish (Gurmag Angler)
Also, has anyone ever considered adding "modal" to the mechanics list?
December 29, 2014 6:27 p.m.
By "mechanics list", I mean "keywords", obviously...
December 29, 2014 6:32 p.m.
I assumed for some reason no one was at it, since last time I added cards, I seem to recall the system told you if one with that name was already in.

No idea what you are talking about there. But regardless, you should honestly follow my card submission tutorial, the link is on my profile. Make sure you have read all the comments as those dictate the updates and changes to the tutorial since you can't edit posts.

The more efficient way to do this is to post before you begin adding them so you can see if anyone else already claimed anything.

Ah right, I had stated in another thread that I was adding the cards, but not this one. Herpa derp.

Give some of these cards about a day to be up to my quality of standards. Just have to wait for the cache to refresh to my images.

Femme_Fatale I noticed Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury is missing the (You may cast...) after Dash while ogling the picture you submitted.

Circeus has a good point for choice cards, though I'm not too sure if we want to be using modal or choice, because the average player won't know what modal is since it is never on a card.
But this brings be to my next point, and now that I've got Epochalyptik's attention (more or less), I think it would be an interesting discussion point. What if we had a separate category for things like action words? Things like "enters the battlefield", "leaves the battlefield", "taps or untaps (as part of cost and not effect)", "cast a spell", "draw a card", "lose life", "choose one" etc etc
It always irks me when I can't put a keyword on these things, because they are important aspects of deck building that a deckbuilder may want to look up specifically. And having a more refined search in this regard would help this search.
However I understand that it may be irrelevant as we currently have the "rules" search on our card search page. But I seem to remember there being complaints in the past about the various search functions not particularly working for this site.

Epochalyptik says... #23
Doesn't the card search already allow you to search by rules text for non-keyword things? Why add a "keyword" that isn't actually a keyword as far as the game is concerned?
I don't like that some cards have reminder text that messes up the advanced search, but that's a messy problem to solve.

Femme_Fatale says... #24
I kinda figured that would be the stance you would take. Doesn't hurt to try though! :D
Could we have then two separate searches, one that searches for things inside parenthesis and one outside?
December 29, 2014 8:36 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #25
I don't know how easy it would be to add that, and I don't know what other information could be in parentheses in our database.
December 29, 2014 8:37 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #26
The only other information would be mana costs. As that is the only thing people would seem to feel that needs to be enclosed in parentheses. At least, that is what I've noticed when fixing cards.

Calling on yeaGO, wondering when the cache is going to be fixed.
December 29, 2014 11:17 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #28
I also want to say that I don't require to have the cache set to refresh every hour. A day or even a week (at most) will be perfectly fine.

Those have not been released on the WotC card image database nor through their articles. As a rule of thumb I will not add images which are not released from there as they can have errors or issues, and more often than not, they will.

Any chance I can get in on the action? :)

Suuuuure.
I missed one from yesterday. WotC doesn't release any spoilers through their articles or card image database, so processes will be going slow. Just as well, gives me more time to alter hunt. It's really funny finding Griselbrand depicted as Batman :D
Also, Epochalyptik, add pkbrainfreeze to the list of accepted submitters. And MinscAndBoo if he's not already on there.

Getting Ornithopter page when trying to submit cards :-/

sorry, yeah i broke something and i will fix it tonight at like 6 EST. sorry.

I contacted yeaGO about this issue yesterday.
Thankfully I can do it the hard way, even though I really don't like that way. The form submission every other user sees allows me to speed run through a submission. It takes me about 3 minutes to find the image, crop it, save it under the right file organization system I have on my pc, and then complete the whole submission form on T/O.

Or nevermind, I can't add them manually through the admin pages. The option is not there.
