Does anybody know where mws saves decklists and patches? .. I have some problems with mws, and when i uninstall and reinstall mws (even after restarting my comp) it remembers all my deck lists + the patches I've made.
My library file accidentally got saved over with the deck I was building at the time. Is there a way to re upload my library without reinstalling mws? This is the third or fourth time this has happened and it's really obnoxious. Any ideas?
Potentially really stupid question, but I have scoured this thread and the install videos on youtube and can't find an answer. How do you actually play online? The youtube vids say to go to File->New Game, but I don't have that option available in my File menu. Am I missing a setup step?

you need to go to MWS online play. Or when you're in deck edit mode go to game connect to an opponent.

Thanks. I didn't realize there was a separate app you had to launch. I think I got it now. I am a bit scared though, I'm used to MTGO doing stuff for me.
I am having a problem with MWS after recently updating my MasterBase with the new one on SlightlyMagic that incorporates SoM.
The cards show up in MWS, and I can build decks. However when I go to test them, or go online and have to load the deck I get an error that says:
'Load Deck Error: Cards not found in Base'
If after this I go back into MWS and load my deck, it's just the way I saved it, with all the cards in it and what not.
Can anyone help?
I have this precise error, and googling and searching the forums has come to naught.

That's kind of a weird choice of art forOHMYGODTHEY'REOUTSIDETHEWINDOW
When I try to load my deck, I get "Cards not found in base". But in MWS, when I'm creating the deck, they are all there. Usually when this has happened to me before, MWS told me which cards were not found in base during deck-edit mode, but this is no longer happening.
Are some cards just glitchy?
EDIT: Apparently people above me are having the same problem. I searched the thread which returned nothing, hence my post.
To all those having problems with "Cards not found in base"...
Q: I followed the steps to install a set with a .txt spoiler, but the cards didn't show up when I opened MWS and/or I received an error saying that cards weren't found... How do I fix this? A: If you followed the steps EXACTLY as they were listed, this shouldn't have happened. What you need to do now is remove the previously installed set, and add it again. To remove the set, you go to "Tools -> Analyze/Add/Remove Sets -> Remove Edition". Check the set off that you just installed, and select "I Agree". Add the set again, with the directions in the Startup/Installation section.
Directly taken from the FAQ in the first post.
If this isn't working, try reinstalling. If that doesn't work, you are probably doing something wrong.
Now, I'm not aware of any easy way for me to remotely take control of your computer, but if someone did some research into it, I'd be willing to set up some sort of appointment system via this thread to fix your problems. That being said, I am telling you, the answers to your questions are on the FAQ. I've done installs on 3 different Vista Machines (one being x64 architecture), 1 Windows 7 machine, and 2 XP machines, without having any problem I couldn't fix (sans having the popup saying you have no games installed; I don't know why that occurs).
Forgive me if I sound harsh, but I really do not understand why some of you are having problems, especially with what I feel is an enormous amount of support for MWS.
TLDR; If someone finds a way for me to remotely take control of your computer to fix these errors, I'd be willing to set up appointments with people in this thread.
The failsafe for solving problems is supposed to be a full-reinstall, so if I do a full reinstall and it doesn't work, then the problem is likely not with MWS, but with some setting in your computer interacting with it. As I'm not a dev of MWS, all I can do is attempt what I've known to work (so if someone does find a way to work with this idea, don't say "I told you so"). I'm not saying that I don't believe that what you're doing isn't working. I do believe that there may be some nuances in the solutions to these problems that are being left out however.
Would anyone mind telling me how to create a custom theme. All I really want to do is change the background and avatar images.
I think you can do this via the menu system already set up in MWS... You don't need to create a theme file (like when you switch from Pre-8th frames to 8th/Post-8th frames). However, if you have the unregistered version, these settings will not be saved.
To get to these options (and change your name from "Player" as well), while in a game, go to Options -> Preferences.
Since installing the latest masterbase file, I can no longer open up my inventory file with my entire collection in it. I can load all my deck files just fine, but whenever I try to open the inventory file it says "File structure is invalid. Load cancelled." I've tried reinstalling Workstation several times to no avail. I can get the file to load just fine before applying the Magic gamepack file (when all it has are those crappy fake cards listed) but once I add the latest masterbase (with SOM), it will no longer load properly. I'd kind of like to figure this out since I would like to avoid cataloging 19,000 or so cards again.

Other people have had problems using MWS to catalog their cards... It might have something to do with the number of cards the file contains being too large for the program to handle (kind of like how if you have a PSD file that is enormous, Photoshop will freeze trying to load it).
I've also seen people saying there was problems with the masterbase, but to be honest, I haven't actually downloaded it yet, so I can't be certain.
My advice would be (unless you have SOM cards in the collection file), revert to the old masterbase, or wait until the next masterbase is released. If the problem indeed lies with the new SOM one, then the old one will work, and the next one might.

That's what I was hoping. I don't think I still have a copy of the old masterbase, so I'll probably be waiting for the next one. As a test, I tried opening my inventory file on someone else's computer both before and after they installed the new masterbase and got the same resut - worked with the old, not with the new

Good to see you've already tried what my next suggestion would have been :D.
The truth is that MWS is probably a bad option for cataloging your cards if for no other reason than it is never going to be finished (even I myself am looking into OCTGN2 for playtesting).
I'm sure other people have noticed but the Equipment in SOM won't actually "attach" to things when you drag-and-drop them on top of things. Equipment from previous sets still works normally, so investigate time! And I figured out the cause: It's due to the faction alignment being listed after "Artifact - Equipment" in the Type line. If you go to View/Edit Record... and remove the (M) or (P), they equip normally.
Hello,
I kinda suck at MWS but here's my problem. I get up to step 10 where it says "additional information". I hit add edition then it says "current grid must be MASTER-like type". I recently reinstalled MWS and added in the Masterbase up to M11 so i don't know what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance!

I run 64 bit windows 7 and currently I've tried everything that has been posted in this forum and on many others including the installation on the thumb drive, various locations, etc.
I was wondering if anybody had similar problems with this? And how they fixed it or if at all?
on another note entirely is there another program that is just as easy to use and has as many people using it? I'm new to online magic as well as this forum so any ideas would be great.
Also anybody who plays magic online the pay one is it any good? I've heard mixed reviews about it so far.

I have the same exact problem. I think it's a problem inherent to MWS for the reasons you described.
You can rename the .mwInventory file to a .cds file and open it with an appropriate database editor, but that's kind of clunky and would require you to manually update other things associated with the card every time you had a new entry. I'm talking useless stuff like flavor text, power/toughness, etc. which doesn't belong in an inventory file anyway, but which you must maintain because of how the database is defined.
I'm thinking of just exporting everything to Excel and proceeding manually from there. It's not ideal, but I can't think of a reasonable solution.

Due to real-life obligations, I am taking a long break from Magic which may include missing the local Legacy GP. Apologies for not being able to keep my threads updated.
Yes, it is in library mode. Sorry for being bad at this.

My database is stuck on M10- I've tried to update it, but even deleting the database and then reinstalling it just restores it to the M10 release. Can someone help? I want to try and test my pox deck, but w/o access to Inquisition of Kozilek (and now, acess to several SoM cards), I can't do proper testing.
i just started using this program today and it works like a charm!
The only problem i have is that I am unable to find the pictures for the M11 cards. I have the cards in the database....but i cant find the pictures anywhere.
Note: i have tryed the Slightlymagic.net which is where ive gotten my other pics....but i didnt see M11 on it.

They're there. Go to their pics thread and just look through the first post. It's there. The only thing missing currently is Scars of Mirrodin, which I'm sure will be there eventually (they just need time to scan).
Hello Ladies and gentlemen, Would any of you happen to know where to get cropped picture zips for the ROE and SOM sets? ( Winrar does not work for some reason.)
