again. the Interactive Encyclopedia image codes were dropped from the special field in the database, and all old images saved from MIE no longer show up in MWS.

Also I found some errors:
All the split cards (have slash in the name) card text have "<hr>" in the text between the 2 sides' text. MWS does not understand this; to correctly have the text rendered in the card window (for crop image internal rendering) MWS needs 2 slashes there // instead.

Unhinged Who/What/Where/Why as it is in the database is unusable, as it does not have all the information present to know the costs of the parts of the split cards. It only has the card effects. The card should have a costs of 9WUBRG, mana cost of 13, and a text box of
Who - %X%W - Target player gains X life.
-----
What - %2%R - Destroy target artifact.
-----
When - %2%U - Counter target creature spell.
-----
Where - %3%B - Destroy target land.
-----
Why - %1%G - Destroy target enchantment.

I'd appreciate someone bringing this to the attention of the Slightlymagic folks or GoblinHero.

Wasn't reading this forum for ages...
1. Yes, encyclopedia codes are dropped again. They won't return. Ever. Sorry, but you're the only one to complain about it.
2. <hr> is not an error but a feature.
3. Yes, something should be done with this WWWWW card. I'll think about it.
I'm constantly improving my database. Yes, this leads to incompatibility with MWS, but it's not my goal. All new features are and will be supported by Magic Album. I am making MWS masterbases but won't promise all parts to be intact.

oh hey! Thanks for replying.

1. Oh crap. I spose I have to break down and download all the images from JU to Alpha. So much for my legal card images.. mise well uninstall MIE now.. lol. Should be fun downloading all this on satellite in the middle of the night to avoid the download limit..
2. um, a feature? It still doesnt work in MWS.

Wait a sec. MWS compatibility is NOT your goal? When everyone uses your database in MWS, even the devs (last I recall, they co-opt your file for the official update)? Whoa. Ok, so if MWS is not the top priority for a MWS master base, could you please put a disclaimer on your download? At least have a list of what you know is in your database that is not MWS-friendly.

MWS is too old and buggy. I'm tired of it.

What's why I'm not just stop making MWS database.
