Problems and Bug Reports

Preferences

  • Can't select resolution, nor fullscreen mode or windowed.
    • Doable from command line: ./Mtg --full --geometry 1280x800
  • Can't enable/disable sound.
    • Doable with command: --nosound


Lobby

  • Players are scattered to the left or to the right and in middle in the above region of the screen.
    • Does the placement in this region have any meaning? What decides the order?
    • It looks like players appear from left to right as they join, but when players leave, holes are left in the list, and new players fill in the holes.
      • The meta server identifies all incoming connections (players and table servers) by their connection number. When you see "TABLE 0" or "TABLE 3", that number is the table's connection number, while client connection numbers simply dictate the positioning of the avatar on the screen, from left to right and in multiple rows if the server gets busy enough. Incoming connections automatically receive the lowest number not currently in use and retain that number for as long as they stay connected; there's no dynamic remapping of numbers after someone leaves.


Deck editor

  • Can't create a deck without typing a command: "Sorry, dialogs not implemented. Type /newdeck My Deck Name to create a new deck."
    • This was fixed in SVN revision 369.
  • Can't save a deck - it's impossible to know if a deck is autosaved while editing it or not.
    • Apparently, it is autosaved.
  • No apparent way to search for a card in the collection using any criteria.
    • /help select; /select name has "foo" as a sample


My Collection View

  • No apparent way to see only the cards you actually have >= 1 copy of. This is somewhat misleading, as it's called "My collection". Logically only the players card would show up, not the entire card pool.
    • /select have will resolve this.
    • /display name will save that view and make it selectable in menu.
    • Suggestion: Have "show my cards" enabled per default, selectable in menu. It shouldn't be required of a player to create this, very common, view mode.
      • Maybe choosing sealed deck accomplishes all this? If so, name is misleading.
  • Hard to read card text.
    • Hold shift and hover mouse over the cards to zoom into them.
    • Use ctrl+H to print card text and errata to the chat log.
