seems like a great tool for players new and old to OCTGN. even some of the frequent streamers don’t have all the images, which I think is a bit amateur. thanks for giving the community this tool

I also don’t have all the images, and at least one (Architect) is incorrect in the image, so it’s nice to have this. Thanks for your time and effort!

This is so nice! Thank you! I’m going to see if I can get it to play nice with Linux.

better off with the python scraper. Native QT+wine is nono

edit:
And there is always the link to mega(upload) which has all the pack, although that’s the one with the incorrect architect, but if you are a subscriber on OCTGN, you can easily fix that. Not sure if I can post that link here though, but if you google right, it’s the first reddit hit,first comment

Which python scraper are you referring to?

Xenasis · April 15, 2015, 3:35pm

To run OCTGN on GNU/Linux, I use a Windows XP virtual machine that does nothing but have OCTGN and Firefox on it. Wine does not have fun with OCTGN.

It’s kind of annoying that I need to go to that length (and I’m hoping they port it to GNU/Linux natively soon), and jinteki.net seems to be a good solution, but as it stands it’s far easier to use the VM than mess around with Wine.

McKindling · April 15, 2015, 3:39pm

I’ll give that a try. I can only corp on OCTGN with wine since running crashes it every time I access a server.

You might need to change some imports and the database file though, it’s pretty old. I’m sure there are updated ones out there

@Xenasis , calling your OS GNU yet run all sorts of proprietary software?

Xenasis · April 15, 2015, 4:25pm

I don’t see why running proprietary software or not would change the contributions of GNU.

Breaker Bay available!

(ps. No need to re-download the tool… it updates its internal list of sets!)

TheRedArmy · April 25, 2015, 5:45am

@Polynomial_C Thanks again for an awesome tool. I was looking to update to version 1.1, but the link didn’t seem to work. Do I have to re-download the Zip file to update to 1.1?

EDIT: I went ahead and re-downloaded it, and it looks like the link works in the new version. Again, this is an awesome tool, particularly the promo art bit. Being able to use original Eli instead of that…new thing…is awesome. Thanks so much for your time and effort!

Polynomial_C · April 25, 2015, 4:04pm

Indeed, the link did not work in 1.0 but it does in 1.1 (and in all future versions)

Polynomial_C · June 2, 2015, 4:42pm

Alsciende just upladed the Chrome City card images, so they’re available now!

Polynomial_C · July 3, 2015, 10:40pm

The Underway is now available!

Polynomial_C · August 12, 2015, 4:38pm

Old Hollywood, The Universe of Tomorrow and Data and Destiny now available…

…although OCTGN doesn’t support these sets yet, but I saw in Github that db0 is working on it!

Polynomial_C · August 23, 2015, 10:45am

Added Lotus Field alternate artwork.

Polynomial_C · January 28, 2016, 11:17pm

Added Kala Ghoda.

Polynomial_C · April 23, 2016, 1:40pm

@db0 still hasn’t added Democracy & Dogma support… is A:NR on OCTGN finally dead now?

2sj · April 23, 2016, 3:48pm

According to slaghund, only 14 games have been played on Octgn this month, so I doubt it’s top of his list right now. Last monthly figure I saw for jnet was 55,000.
