#21 Your card database version is too old.

[Anonymous]

Hi,
First off, thanks for the program.

I ran your program and it seems to have worked properly but when I open Cockatrice after running the program, I get the message:

"Your card database version is too old.

This can cause problems loading card information or images. Usually this can be fixed by rerunning oracle to update your card database. Would you like to change your database location?"

Before running the program, Cockatrice opens to the regular MTG database but once I click No on that message above, I get a blank database and the program reads: Cockatrice - Disconnected. Any ideas?

Just as a side: Is there a way to have my reprints overwrite the originals?

Thanks again.

Hey, please forgive me for taking so long to respond to this.

This is a weird error. I've never had anyone else report this. What does your card database file say at the top? It's a file called cards.xml or something like that.

Regarding your other question: right now, no. However, someone else asked for that a while back so I really should do it. It requires re-organizing magicHack a bit though. Any chance you'd be interested in helping out? I'd like it if I weren't maintaining this program in a vacuum :)

I'm getting the exact same error. I fear it may be due to the semi-recent update to Cockatrice's XML format--Magichack now effectively speaks a different language than Cockatrice and therefore NONE of the cards can be read.

Yup. This is the problem. I don't promise a turnaround time on this one.
