MTG Gatherer Downloader

I know that nearly people come to this site for the HQ images created by the CCGHQ team (which are wonderful by the way) simply recently I ran into individuals that wanted full menu images but didn't take the infinite to store all the images in HQ. Later posting the question nearly low quality images and searching effectually I found no real solution for obtaining full card images in whatsoever type of downloadable "pack" similar to what is available for the HQ images. So I created the "MTG Gatherer Epitome Downloader" HTA to parse and download the images from http://gatherer.wizards.com/. This should save you time from having to search, so click and save every image if you so want them locally. Feedback welcome.

Screenshot:

NOTE
If you recieve the following mistake (or similar)

Please choose "no".
If you do non wish to meet this message delight follow these steps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/175500
As well, there is now a .reg file included in the distro that will disable this popup likewise

Update Notes
Version ii.9 has had a minor testing on the image downloading routines. Delight report if things are broken or incorrect. Encounter "Program Versions" below for what has been updated.

Known Bugs:

    None

I strongly encourage users to download any new images that are available in HQ using the torrent file provided by http://www.slightlymagic.net at http://www.slightlymagic.net/tracker (and peered by many supporters).

Thank you.

Absolutely. What languages were yous looking for? Plus since I havent looked into how to get other languages from the gatherer are you familiar with how to practice so? Is there a different URL for other languages etc?

I was trying to get FR and so far but I was not able to get the gatherer to bear witness me the checklist and/or spoiler versions of all the FR cards. I was able to see their french text on single cards using the following URL for instance:

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Bill of fare/ ... eid=222305

(Note the printed parameter)

How is your tool getting the pics? Directly from each single carte du jour folio or from a more than general page like listing?

Thanks!

Thank you!

The way it works is it get-go queries the gatherer for a complete set list using the standard view such as a url like this:
[url]http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?activeness=avant-garde&set up=|["Blastoff"][/url]

You lot can locate the URL listing used past going to the gatherer. Using the advanced button. Then only adding the set up name yous are looking to query for. And clicking the search button.

Information technology and then parses the recieved data and locates each card listing (name and multiverse image number). Information technology then goes back and downloads the image using the multiverse number and placing the image with the right name into the salvage folder that is divers for each set in the assortment containing all the fix information. Seeing every bit I was unfamiliar with the other languages I was hoping that you could query the gatherer and recieve a standard view listing in foreign languages. If then there would just need some pocket-sized updating to the code to reflect the unlike languages split location spellings. But if at that place is no way to view a listing of cards in a particular prepare in a particular language (other than english) there volition need to be some major updates in the code to support other languages.

edit:
looking at the language tab at that place may exist a way for me to determin the multiverse ID from at that place so adding the ability for each language would exist possible but give me a bit to think most how to implement it. Starting time matter that comes to mind is adding one more step in after identifying the menu from the set list to aquire all the multiverse id's for that card from the language tab page and then downloading the associated flick based on selected language :)

Would be great. If your tool is parsing the card page and not just a listing, I'd be interested in it to also retrieve the text of that page, that would plain rock ;)

What data are you exactly looking for? Information technology is possible to parse the page and its contents and relieve them. The fashion the script does it probably doesnt work much like your thinking (peradventure) but can exist adapted to fit probably easily.

The printed card texts more often than not. Putting gathered text within a .txt file next to the motion-picture show would be awesome :P

No problem! I still need to right the foreign abbr. But the code structure is there and information technology shouldn't be to difficult. Im simply busy working on updating the magic anthology pricing scripts.

The printed bill of fare texts mostly. Putting gathered text within a .txt file side by side to the motion-picture show would be awesome.

Are you looking for the foreign text or the english language?

Actually both, but each in it's own language laissez passer, so I'd say foreign
