So, I see that the spoiler texts for Kindred Most Wanted are up on the
White Wolf site.
(www.white-wolf.com/vtes/index.php?line=Checklist_KindredMostWanted if
you haven't seen it yet.)

Yay! The only problem I have is that the ARDB update doesn't seem to be
able to read the new .csv complete spoiler files. Something about the
..csv having one more field than ARDB is expecting? I can't tell if this
is an ARDB problem or a .csv-file problem (I wouldn't have thought KMW
added any new fields to either type of card?). Help?

Oh, I suppose I should submit this ARDB "bug" to Francois the prescribed
way as well. I will do that now. :)

I'm currently writing a script to import the same CSV files into Monger
to avoid having to manually do it each set...so I hope the CSV files
don't really change much.

As an aside, which spolier text files are the "official" ones. Is it
the CSV which then generates the TXT and HTML? Or is it the TXT? Or is
it the HTML?

I believe they all ought to be equivalent. If they aren't, I expect the
maintainer ought to be notified (vtesrep@white-wolf.com). :)

I always quote from the .txt file myself, I don't know if Scott does the
same.

where exactly did you get the csv file?
the file at the address
http://www.white-wolf.com/downloads.php?category_id=38
is still the old one

Might it be because we have a new clan? The ARDB isn't expecting the
Abominations?

Are you sure that they aren't there just in a different position due to
accent issues?

BTW could you give me the full address of the new csv file?

There's an "Artist" column now.

If an application isn't looking at the header row, it may get
confused. Deleting the Artist column should restore the CSV
files to the arrangement expected by an application that
read the CSV files before.

So long as you're parsing the header row (and then keying off of
the position of known columns, like "Clan"), you'll be fine.

They are all equivalent -- derived from the "true source" data file
I maintain. If they aren't equivalent, it is due to an error in the
program that translates the true source and yes, I ought to be
notified (via email, preferably, or via this newsgroup).

I usually quote from true source, actually.

Sorry, I neglected to point out before that the really truly current
..txt file and .csv file are not on the "regular" White Wolf VTES site
yet, but are on the "old" VTES pages. (Because LSJ can update the old
ones himself, but not the new ones.)

Go to http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/Downloads.html to find both files
for download, or the direct link for the .csv zip-file is
http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/downloads/vtescsv.zip.

That page links the most current CSV zip file.
That zip file contains a .csv with a 1:38 PM timestamp (and
dated March 1) -- the most recent one.

Perhaps you need to refresh or clear your cache?

?
I don't understand your sentence.

Someone noted that some (non-ascii-named) vampires were missing.
Those have been added.

Errors I don't know of are likely to be uncorrected.

<snip>

Francois has actually solved this problem this afternoon :)
I guess he will soon post the location of the latest version.

However although the automated database update is now working, the .csv
file downloaded from white wolf site seems to be incomplete

at least 3 errors have been reported

- Count Germaine Advanced is not noted as "Advanced" in the
vtescrypt.csv file
- Sebastian Goulet is not present at all (neither base nor advanced)
- Rotschreck is missing too (maybe it will bring some happiness to some
but still :) )

hope this helps

That theory works for everyone but Count Germaine (Adv).

Every card with "extraascii" characters was omitted,
apparently.

All the advanced cards were convoluted with their
base counterparts.

The latter has been fixed.

I'm working on the former.

OK. The extraasciily-named cards are in.

Let me know if you find any other absentees (or merges
or whatever).
