Title: Completing the Card Database
Post by: Kralik on July 08, 2008, 03:14:14 PM
Well, I haven't had much time to spend browsing TLHH the last week or so... things have been busy. However, I have some great news: HawkeyeSPF and Shieldmaiden have taken it upon themselves to scan the last remaining cards that are not in the database! (They should each get a hefty boost in gold... what do you all think?) :D Aside from foreign language cards, the database will soon be complete! Within the next "X" weeks, I will add:


Each scan takes me about 10-15 minutes to process, as I have to crop the card, rotate it, adjust brightness/contrast, sharpen, fix the border, and resize it to three different sizes. Then I have to upload the images and add the card to the database and autolink. It's somewhat slow going but it works best if I do it in batches.

If anyone wants to help, I still need some proofreading done. Specificially:


If you would like to help, post here and PM me any typos you find! I may not be on every day but I will be around. :)

I have noticed a mistake. Hunters, card # 16 is an unc and not a rare. The elven artifact.

Looked through the fellowship sites. Only 2 errors:

1) On 0P6 (Balin's Tomb promo) there should be a note saying that its gametext is a clarification, as there is on Balin's Tomb.

2) On 1U338 (Ford of Bruinen) it's written "?5" instead of "-5".

Thanks Thran! I've fixed both problems on my end and it should go "live" sometime soon.

It's gone live! EDIT: Well, it was fixed earlier today, but I just clicked on the above links and they've reverted.

I also checked the Two Towers sites. Only mistake I found was on 5U118 (Hornburg Wall) where it says site "6T" but should say "7T".

Sorry, real life has had me very busy the last few weeks. I went ahead and uploaded the changes now. :)

Errm... To be honest it doesn't look too good. How about that one?  ;)

I suspected as much. :P Still, since it doesn't have any special text like the others, I might use it.
