    Hm. Lucky you two. I didn't even bother trying that many times. Manfred: whilst you're recoding it, do you think you could get it to pop up the resulting page in a new tab/window?

    Selecting less then 4900 seems to work pretty consistently.

    Yeah, it's really annoying to click as many... on the other side I want to catch all the cards, while there seem to be large holes between the newer and older pieces.

    I'll see what I can do...

    Been tinkering with it for a while now. As such, it is impossible to do.

    The problem is, that all browsers forbid JavaScript to manipulate (or even to read!) websites loaded from a different server from your own. While that sucks for my own purpose, it is kinda understandable due to phishing attacks and stuff like that. Well. :|

    To limit the range in either way would break it into old cards and new cards. It's of course possible to combine the two (or more?) blocks, but then would be a statistic analysis of some sort necessary... which would be too time consuming for me.


    The alternative route is to make it a Greasmonkey script. While suboptimal, it will make it possible, being run in user's browser directly and not having such limitations.

    So the next time I get into it, it's gonna be Greasemonkey time!

    (Oh, and CM: I added a button for that. If all updates were so easy. :) )

    Thank you sir. That makes thinks a bit easier to do.

    Thought: they ID cards based on criteria, and not on order of publication? Might be worth checking out similar cards, and if they've got similar IDs.

    I talked with MoonHunter the other day and he mentioned this stupendously simple idea of adding a little search field to those list generators. Case in point: the Fight Scene generator (or see the terrain features). Why didn't I come up with that before? Kudos to MoonHunter!


    In other news, there is a City Scenes generator now as well!
