    How to mention cards?

    Sometimes when playing matches in cockatrice, players mention cards and the text appears in blue, and when you hover your mouse cursor over the text it shows that card image on the 'Card Info' panel. I have no idea how to do it, and I thought that just typing out the full name of the card would do it but apparently not. How do I do that?

    How Do I Change The White Background On Cockatrice?

    I've been searching for almost three days to figure out how to create a dark or custom background for my app. I usually play at night, and my room can get pretty dark. I want to replace the harsh white of the app with a more soothing color or image that is easier on the eyes. So far, I've only found methods to change the deck board for when I'm playing Magic

    How do I find people to play with?

    Excuse my ignorance, I’m coming back to Cockatrice after 15 years. It seems like there isn’t much life on the server I’m in? Can I change servers? If so, how?

    I mostly ever see maybe 2-3 lobbies and it’s only Commander. Any help is appreciated.

    Custom Art - Apostrophe Problem

    Yo! Currently uploading the custom arts I made for a deck and have run into a fated issue; Apostraphes.

    With the apostraphe, the cards don't change, and without--they still don't. Does anyone have insight about how to get around this? Although I don't mind as 95% of the deck is completely fine, I would love to see all the pretty art I have on them. Thanks in advance!

    Where Do People Play Cockatrice Tournaments Now That Magic-League is Gone?

    Hey everyone,

    I used to rely on magic-league.com to participate in Cockatrice tournaments years ago and to check out posted decklists, especially before a new set dropped. It was awesome because as soon as a card was previewed, you could add it to Cockatrice or Magic Workstation and dive into a "pre-release" type format.

    Now that magic-league.com is no longer around, I'm wondering where people go to:

    a. Play in these types of tournaments with posted decklists.

    b. Look for decklists from Cockatrice tournaments.

    Are there any active communities or platforms that have taken its place? I'd love to get back into playing and see what people are building with the newest cards as soon as they're previewed without just searching through the random jank people sometimes post.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    Card Art URLs blacklisted?

    Hey all.

    I've recently gotten an itch to re-learn Yu-Gi-Oh and found a very handy XML of all the cards.However, none of the Card Art is working. It's just a blank white space.

    I popped into the Debug Log and saw these errors. https://imgur.com/a/Rke7qGx

    I cannot find any discussion about Cockatrice blacklisting URLs. No mention of cease-and-desists.

    Does anyone know what the deal is and/or have a fix to this card art issue?

    Does having a different server port change what server you're connecting to?

    Hi, I just noticed that my server port is # 448, as opposed to the one in the sidebar of the reddit. Does that make a difference? I tried registering with the new port and it rejected my request saying I had already registered.

    I noticed after coming back to the program that there was hardly anyone on the servers anymore. Maybe that's why?

    Permanents no longer come in tapped when they're supposed to.

    Hi reddit. I was playing a goldfish game and fat-fingered something and opened a menu I've never seen before. I exited the menu, but apparently hit something in that menu that is making it so that things that normally come into play tapped automatically don't anymore. Any ideas on how to fix?

    Thanks!

    How do I input an exact filter?

    Is there a way to filter card text in a way that finds an exact word instead of also finding words that contain the filtered word? For instance "rat" finds "pirate", "aberration", obliterator", etc.

    New custom TCG ?

    Hi everyone,

    I am currently working on a TCG project that I'd like to develop and later (if everything goes as planned, I hope) commercialize. I used cockatrice years ago to play MTG on it, but I was wondering, could I use it to emulate my own TCG ?

    For this to work, I only need to be able to change a few settings, like card zones, custom tokens, and several card pools/decks. For example, each player has a deck, a side deck and an event cards pool, all diplayed on the battlefield.

    It would be a great help in the developpement if this was possible, I think I heard that you might have to change/create XML files which I'm okay with, I just don't know where to start if this is the case.

    Thank you for your help !

    So i recently started using cockatrice for about 2 weeks and it's been going well but now I can't seem to connect to the Rooster Ranges server. Does anyone know the cause of this and any sort of fix or work around?

    (MTG) How to make custom transform card?

    This is for Magic: The Gathering, I don't know if Yu-gi-oh or Pokemon have transform cards.

    I'm trying to make a custom card that transforms into another card. If it was a physical card, the transformation would be on the backside and you would transform it by flipping the card over.

    However, I can't find any documentation on how to transform a card and Google returns no helpful results. Is this not possible? I made an Esika commander deck and that card can clearly transform in Cockatrice, so it seems the technology exists in the program.

    Download your favorite prints/arts using Spell Gallery

    I’ve made a program that makes it easier to select custom art in Cockatrice called Spell Gallery:

    https://github.com/andyrut/spell-gallery

    Download from the Releases section at the above link.

    Type a card name, select the particular art you want, and it automatically puts it in the custom folder for Cockatrice.

    Do I need internet to play a local game on Cockatrice?

    I use the "Start a local game" mode to playtest decks against myself, but often time the cards images will take forever to load or won't load at all.

    Is this a problem with my internet connection or should local games work fine offline?

    If the internet isn't the problem, how can I fix it so the card images will appear?

    Custom Draft Group

    So I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit so if this isn't right please let me know if I should go somewhere else.

    I've been thinking about starting a discord group with ten people including myself. Where we each make a draft archetype for a custom set and then play with the cards. Problem is I have no friends who have MSE, or Cockatrice. So I'm left asking here, anyone want to join me.

    How to change the XML of my custom set to manage tokens

    Hello!
    With some friends, we created custom sets. Two of these sets have "human" tokens in them. Each of these "human" tokens have different pictures (and different texts, one of them has lifelink).
    I have one xml per set, and each of my tokens has this :
    <reverse-related>XXX</reverse-related>
    The thing is, I can't seem to find how to actually link the pictures of my tokens (that I put in the folder "data\pics\CUSTOM", then each set has its own folder in there) and the token in the XML.

    I tried to add a picURL parameter in a set tag with the path to my file in it
    I tried to put a value in the set tag, and put my files in a folder with the same name (for example : if my human token has this tag : <set>BBL</set>, then the human image file will be in CUSTOM\BBL)

    Nothing worked so far.
    Is this even possible?

    Thank you!
