It's a new and big release for XMage. With bunch of new sets and features. it's include missing v32 release too

Thanks to people who tests BETA version all that days on BETA server. It's was huge.

Installation and images

  • The new update available through launcher. Take your time, servers can be down for some time.
  • If have problem with updates or images download then try that: 0. Check your proxy settings: goto main menu -> preferences -> connection tab -> proxy must be "none"; 0. Check your images zip-files: goto ..\xmage\mage-client\plugins\images\ and sort files by size. If you find 0 size then delete it. It's can fix broken images downloading for some sets. If not helps then goto next step. 0. Open notepad or text editor, create new file; 0. Insert that text to it: java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar; 0. Save that file as ANSI encoding with name run-LAUNCHER.cmdin launcher folder; 0. Run it by right click and choose run/execute (it's will run launcher and you can check/download updates from it); 0. Open settings menu -> java tab -> find client options field; 0. Add that command at the end: -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true (with space, example); 0. Save and run client. All must works. 0. Windows 10 -- 90% not necessary, only if you can't connect to any server, then try that instructions too;
  • All new cards will be added to your client after re-connection to updated server (local or remote). Use scryfall for cards download and tokens.mtg.onl for tokens download.

i currently cannot see any cards in the deckbuilder while not connected.

edit: also As Foretold is currently broken, throws a null pointer exception error when it resolves

It's one time action -- you must connects to any server on new version (to official or to local -- run it from launcher). After that all cards updated and you can run deck editor without connection all the time.

Yes, it's work fine. I'm updated first post with new instructions (if you can't update and/or download images).

Am I the only one unable to run the new version? Launcher shows I have it installed, but every time I hit launch client, it load 1.4.31.

1
JayDi85OPDeveloper•

Use instructions from topic and launch launcher by special cmd-file. Then press update button to download all files (you will see downloading progress -- if not, then you do something wrong with run file).

Hmm the client updated correctly but I can't seem to get java to update to 202 keeps saying installing 191 then telling me there is a new version available.

Edit:Waited a few minutes and tried again and it worked.

Great work. I absolute love the new image download „modern only“ possibility.

Orbital2100•

That line of text for java absolutely destroyed my install, so just be careful. I'm sure it works sometimes, but it really messed my machine up

1
JayDi85OPDeveloper•

Sorry, it's was typo in step 5. Fixed it. You can try again.

Been away at a new job but I’ll get mtg.powersofwar.com tonight when I get home. Can’t wait to try out the cards before prerelease!

I got the new version of Xmage to work with Ubuntu 18.04 using the method suggested by JayDi85. The only thing I had to do was change the filename for the command "run-LAUNCHER.cmd" to "run-LAUNCHER.sh". Alternatively, you can probably run the java code from terminal. Thanks devs! You are amazing!

Just upgraded mtg.powersofwar.com to the latest version and brought it back online. It’s the “P” button with the American Flag. We should start seeing more traffic now that we have a quick connect button

Encounterd a bug in vintage cube (unless me and the opponent missed something) :

- Opponent played Arcane Artisan

- Looted a Blightsteel Colossus and created a token

- In my main phase, I bounce the Artisan with Repeal. Token was supposed to be bounce during my end step. However, we both F9 (pass turn) the token was still there at my opponent's turn. We saw the delayed trigger happening quickly but nothing happend.

I'm getting an error starting a server where it pulls up each set as part of "Loading Cards", but each set says "Set Code XYZ already exists"

At the end, the server doesn't start. I have played Xmage since the update, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

1
JayDi85OPDeveloper•

From github for other users: It's wrong files in server's folder. You can delete mage-server folder at all and force to update again from launcher (if that's old server then take config and db backup before clean).

I did it, and know i can't connect to any server.

The text says that my version is old (i already checked and updated it a thousand times) or that is unable connect to server cos is likely offline (sure it isn't)

What i do? Now i can't even do a login!

1
JayDi85OPDeveloper•

There was new update 20 minutes ago. Close xmage with launcher, run launcher and try to check it again (new version: 33V1).

2
Crondow•

it doesn't even work, i already tried to put that file on the folder but it didn't worked

what can i do?

i already tried all sources of download

1
JayDi85OPDeveloper•

Follow topic's instruction: proxy must be "none", ipv4 must be added (see instructions). ipv4 is the main problem for java/images downloads.

2
Crondow•

i already did it...two times by now

You must run xmage client from launcher.

Close xmage. Delete log file mage-client\mageclient.log. Run it by launcher. Try to download images from scryfall. Close xmage. Upload your error logs from x\xmage\mage-client\mageclient.log to https://pastebin.com/ and paste here.

here it is https://pastebin.com/rwE3x51r still don't work

How do I run the run-LAUNCHER.cmd text file after you save it?

1
JayDi85OPDeveloper•

Open explorer, right click on that file and select "run/execute".

2
JuniorFailure•

When I right click it, there's no run/exe file. Did I save it Wrong? I put the name just as it was written on there. run-LAUNCHER.cmd Its saved as a txt file in the type column. And its ANSI.

1
JayDi85OPDeveloper•

You must create new file from notepad and SAVE AS (selects correct run.cmd name) -- that's will help.

2
JuniorFailure•

I got it to run but the sources still don't download any of the images I need. So i downloaded the zip for RNA but I'm missing GRN images now. I can't find a zip file for that though. Anyone know where I can get it?
