Title: Database Update
Post by: reezel on September 07, 2012, 09:17:30 AM
I was wondering how database updates were done. It seems like they can be done outside of a major release in the settings, but I wasn't sure if that was how it worked. I was wondering because I know the From the Vault:Realms and the new duel deck have come out and wondering when they will be available on iMtg.

So does that mean when it happens the database update button will take care of it or will it have to be a through apple update.

I had some fun with the database today. It isn't half as bad as I thought it's gonna be so I'll have some fun until it's done. Wish me luck ;)

1.26.1 and 2.0.0 will be included this time round. You know where the beer tap is, though ;)

I noticed a few issues with the database update. Under expansions, neither Return to Ravnica or Izzet vs Golgari show up in the list unless you do a specific search for them.Once you do, they both have 0 cards shown under them. Return to Ravnica does have cards in it when you open it (62 to be precise), but there' are no cards in Izzet vs Golgari.

A couple more items

1) should the Return to Ravnica cards have their images or should they be blank for now?

2) a bunch of the Return to Ravnica cards are listed as basic lands for rarity instead of their actual rarity.

Until a set is on Gatherer and magic cards.info, it can be messy. I have a little semi-automatic tool to suck spoilers from mtgs, but it's not as good. Ideally I would have spoilers in a proper data format done by some with good mtg knowledge, my wife is no good at these things.

You're all in Mac for your stuff right? If not, as a programmer by trade I'd be happy to try and help out.
