MTGAHelper Tracker local program

MTGAHelper is a web application used along with the game Magic: The Gathering Arena.

MTGAHelper-Windows-Client

This project contains the Installer and source code for the local program that can be installed on your computer known as a Tracker and is used to communicate with the MTGAHelper server.

You can then use the MTGAHelper website at any time to see your cards collection statistics and a variety of information tracked for you while you enjoy playing Magic: The Gathering Arena.

See this post for an overview on how to best use MTGAHelper.

Please note that the Full Tracker runs only on Windows for now. However, you can upload your log file on any OS with this portable console program or manually on the website at any time. See this explanation page for more info on how to run the console program on MacOS.

Installation

Simply download the Tracker Installer and after the very simple setup, the tracker will be ready to run from your Desktop where a shortcut will be created.

Configuration

To use the tracker, you will need to have an MTGAHelper account. You can authenticate with Google or Facebook directly, or you may also use a local account but you will first have to sign-up for one on the website.

Activate the detailed MTGA log (important!)

To be able to use the tracker, you need to do the following in the MTGA game client:

1. Press Esc to get the Options popup and click on View account

2. Check the Detailed Logs (Plugin Support) option

3. Restart the game.

Usage

You will notice activity in the status bar any time the tracker is communicating with the servers. For example the status bar will blink and indicate Uploading log file to server... while it is uploading your data, which can take some time. You are NOT blocked by this activity and can continue playing the game normally.

Once your data is uploaded successfully, you can simply refresh the MTGAHelper website to see it updated.

Troubleshooting

Nothing happens when I run the MTGAHelper Tracker

1- The server might be unresponsive. Try to go on https://mtgahelper.com and if the site cannot load, the tracker won't be able to start. You can report this downtime on Discord.

2- Also, in the %AppData%/MTGAHelper directory there might be some log files (e.g.: log-202006.txt). You can open these text files and see if there's any helpful information.

I am connected but the tracker and website are showing no data / 0 cards in collection

Please be sure that you activated the detailed logging in-game, otherwise there will be no data to parse in your log file.
