NightWind's Card Searcher

well if we could buy things from it i'd actually be more inclined to keep "Only return list of card names" than "do not display card images"

though i don't really want to create extra work for nightwind

I don't use it much for store searching (but now that I've looked at it, I kinda like it for that), but I use it all the time for pretty much anything else.

Okays - noted as well. ^_^

Remove "Do no display card images":
Remove "Only return list of card names": NOLDER

Keep "Only return list of card names": masa

If we do end up scattered votes, I'll just keep as many checkboxes as I can. If that's too much for me, I'll look back at the pros and cons for each and decide accordingly. Meanwhile, it'll be good to see what your thoughts are.

If anything is removed, I'll vote for removal of "Only return list of card names".

Re: If you don't use it for prices, it does the exact same thing as the wiki page lists, and if you do store searching, doing the search with no card images looks more organized in my opinion.

The wiki page lists?

List by card ID mainly is what the list in the store searcher best resembles.

If something has to be removed then I think removing the "Only return list of card names" option would be the least detrimental.
Re: Jessica.

If I'm generating a list of card names for balance purposes or something (a list of all monsters with between 50-55 attack as an example) then simply having a list that I can copy and paste is very useful, as one example of how I use "Only return list of card names" quite frequently. "Do no display card images" sacrifices functionality for aesthetics.

Good heavens! My thread has been visited by pretty balance angels! ^_^


Remove "Do no display card images":
Remove "Only return list of card names": NOLDER, Jessica, bubbleman

Test site for hiding HS results is here.

Let me know if this is what you want. If so, I'll move it to the main site. I managed to keep all the checkboxes without reducing usability.

Seems to work...

I'll switch it over later tonight.

Main site has been updated with HS checkbox. Test site (site01) will be taken down later tonight. Price range search will not be updated with the HS checkbox, but will still be kept running. If you do want both versions to be synchronised, let me know.

i'm not sure if there is currently a difference between the test site and the main site
but i like how it is now
no need to remove anything while that nice dividing line is there (has it always been there and i just haven't noticed till now? >_>)

The dividing line wasn't always there... one of the boxes was tabbed a bit too (being dependant on the above) and isn't anymore as well.

I likey.

Yeah - not long before your post, the test site (for HS results) had been uploaded to the main site, which explains why both look exactly the same. If you want to see how the old search form looked check sandbox3 - the price range site.

Thanks masa. ^_^

For those who are currently using the price range site - do you want it synchronised with the main site's features?

what does "Card ID list (space delim):" do?

Lets you put card IDs in to show only those card IDs (space delimited means you separate the card IDs with spaces, not with commas etc).

So you could put "11 29 534 1064" in there to show Lowly Slime, Stone Golem, Sudden Growth and Novablast, as an example.

oh i get it now

instead of putting 11 and 1064 in those other boxes which would give you a list of nearly every card in the game

thats cool
i like these new card ID options
thanks nightwind

edit: they are new right? i never too much attention to every option there was, i just knew the ones i wanted to use

Yoy're welcome. ^_^

They weren't there with the store searcher, but had come in the early phases of the card searcher. Though it's use is pretty niche, so I wouldn't expect too many to use it.

Now that I think of it, it's use isn't perhaps that apparent. It will be too tedious and time consuming to write documentation so I guess I'll have to rely on word of mouth instead. And here I wonder how many people use it?

i'll probably use it in the future for making tournaments/decks now that i'm aware of what it does

it'll be useful for looking up specific expansions and being able to actually see all the cards on one page rather than looking them up individually
