My spellbook builder

[grga.curkovic]

@Raiko: thanks for pointing that out, fixed

@V10lentray: Nothing wrong Galaxxus, it's there, please check your filters

@Borg: We'll get there, I can't put much time into these improvements this time for a few more weeks.

I just noticed that most of the "Conjuration - Wall" spells don't have "Wall" in their type (with the exception of Coral Barrier). For example, if I type "wall" in the "search everything" field, it doesn't find [mwcard=MW1W01]Fog Bank[/mwcard], since its spell type is listed as "Conjuration" only.

[grga.curkovic]

Conjurations subtypes were never consistently marked in the official spellbook builder, OCTGN and other sources I've used. I've changed the type for all walls into "Conjuration - Wall" and I've done a similar thing for terrains perviously.

Update had been pushed to www.spellbookbuilder.com, however I won't be updating the old url - take it as an incentive to start using www.spellbookbuilder.com if you haven't done so already.

Another small change

"Altar of Carnage", "Altar of Domination" and "Barracks" are all "Epic", yet max number in spell book shows as 4, not 1.
Other War conjurations are fine.

Just noticed Woolly Rhinoceros is spelled incorrectly.

There's also still a glitch related to long-named Legendary creatures with nicknames: Aurora is currently "Aurora Lucere, Dawnbreaker's Chosen Aurora" with the first name repeated at the end. Same thing for Tarraki, Ehren, Gloranna and Slavörg (who could stand to get umlauts).

Really love the spellbook builder, very useful tool, thanks for taking time to develop it!!
Do you plan on making an option to export the spellbook in text format like on the original spellbook builder? That would be great to be able to save our spellbook and be able to read them offline!

I love this sbb as it is a portable possibility to look up cards. But I don't use anything else than that, since I have all my books saved in octgn format as standard and don't want to do the work twice. An import/export to octgn would at least double the worth of this site for me

[grga.curkovic]

It seems everyone is very keen on import/export so I'm close to making that effort

I don't have OCTGN, can someone send me a couple of spellbooks exported from OCTGN so I can check the format?

[Gogolski]

An export to .txt and an export as forum spellbook would also be very nice.

I really appreciate you taking the time to provide the players with a functional and up to date SBB.
Thank you very, very much!!!

Hey grga,

thanks a lot for your time and help!

OCTGN saves spellbooks by default with cardname-trash thats unusable outside of OCTGN. Like that:

<deck game="9acef3d0-efa8-4d3f-a10c-54812baecdda" sleeveid="0">
  <section name="Mage" shared="False">
    <card qty="1" id="e0a0b790-fbfb-4a08-a12e-77e415134391">Johktari Beastmaster</card>
    <card qty="1" id="f248612c-0328-4ca0-b9ec-f719da169cfc">Johktari Beastmaster Stats</card>
  </section>
  <section name="Attack" shared="False">
    <card qty="1" id="590a9343-4aff-45e7-971d-43c1ec3c0e74">Force Hammer</card>
   .....


If I take the spellbook and validate its 120 allowed points it gets instantly copied to clipboard exactly like that:

But if you take that same OCTGN can NOT import that.

But it is quite intelligent:

1) it can read code from this forum. enter a url and you get the whole spellbook on this site perfectly imported. I dont know how that is working.

2) It can read card names. Thats the way to go via .txt.
As user you have to enter all types of spell separate, but that should not bother you. But you can write lines like that to get them imported:
"
beastmaster
beastmaster stats
2 surging wave
3 acid ball
"
Just all the names have to be spelled correctly. Quantities in front of names work perfectly.


hope that helps for the beginning. I'll play around more to see if it is possible to divide card types in a clean and good looking / readable way.


EDIT: There is a deckconverter.dll included in OCTGN. I can't open it with a normal editor, so I don't know if that could help you. Do you want to see it? I can send it to you.


EDIT 2:

importtests to OCTGN:
1) ---  Incantation  --- (like export) does nothing. no help.
2) 1 - Raincloud - 1 - 4 - 4 (like export) does nothing.
2a) 1 swell     is working
2b) swell 1     is working as well (qty at the end)
2c) 1 swell 2    is giving me an error of 1 buggy card name of that "swell 2" card. -> qty in front is better.
2d) 1           swell    is working so number ob blanks in between don't count.

I guess the best Format is very clean and easy

Fantastic job, grga.

If you find time for the sortable columns next, then this is IT
