Magarena Scripts Generator

Given a list of missing card names from Magarena this will attempt to match each card name to an entry in the json feed from mgtjson.com and create a script file for each matching card.

Batch Image Link Updater

This can also be used to update the image property for multiple script files - see INVALID_IMAGE_SCRIPTS_FOLDER below.

Instructions

Please make sure the required files are present in the INPUT folder (see below), then run MtgJsonReader from your preferred IDE.

// All input data required should be stored in this folder (will fail if missing!).
private static final String INPUT_FOLDER = "INPUT";

// All data generated will be stored in this folder (it will be created if missing).
private static final String OUTPUT_FOLDER = "OUTPUT";

// This folder is automatically created in the OUTPUT_FOLDER.
// Contains set of scripts files to be added to the Magarena "scripts_missing" folder.
private static final String SCRIPTS_MISSING_FOLDER = "scripts_missing";

// Optional. This folder is manually created in the INPUT_FOLDER.
// This folder should contain scripts whose "image" property needs to be updated.
private static final String INVALID_IMAGE_SCRIPTS_FOLDER = "invalid_image_scripts";

// This file is created in the OUTPUT_FOLDER and lists any scripts in
// INVALID_IMAGE_SCRIPTS_FOLDER which could not be updated.
private static final String IMAGE_UPDATE_ERROR_LOG = "SkippedInvalidImageScripts.log";

// Required. Place this file in the INPUT_FOLDER.
// It is obtained from mtgjson.com. It contains every card grouped by set.
private static final String JSON_FILE = "AllPrintings.json";

// Required. Place this file in the INPUT_FOLDER.
// This is a list of the cards which have not yet been implemented in Magarena.
// In effect it is the list of cards in "AllCardNames.txt" minus those cards which
// have a matching script file in the "scripts" folder. This file can be created
// from the Cards Explorer screen by running Magarena in dev mode (-DdevMode=true).
private static final String MISSING_CARDS_FILE = "CardsMissingInMagarena.txt";

// This file is automatically created in the OUTPUT_FOLDER.
// This file contains entries from MISSING_CARDS_FILE which have no matching entry
// in JSON_FILE. Check the name for typos, strange characters, etc.
private static final String MISSING_ORPHANS_FILE = "MissingCardOrphans.txt";

// Optional. This file is manually created in the INPUT_FOLDER.
// Use this file to override the automatically generated image link for a given script file.
// This is applies to both the scripts generator and image line batch updater.
private static final String PREDEFINED_IMAGES_FILE = "CardImages.txt";

// This file is automatically created in the OUTPUT_FOLDER (for reference only).
// list of all set codes from json feed sorted by release date in descending order.
private static final String JSON_SETS_FILE = "JsonSetCodes.txt";
