Volume 4 Compendium on Comixology?

[geologami]

Anyone know when the collected edition of volume 4 will be digitally available on Comixology?

Why would you pay to get an online version of this comic? Its already free online. You can/should buy the volume four book from store.

Not spam, but it would be easier to simply grab all the pics with a macro.

Hold on, I have a copy that's up to [1226], I'll upload it.


Edit: www.filedropper.com/digitalcopy

Looks like it was only up to [1224]. The new page numbering screwed it up and I have been too lazy to rewrite the config.

Teach me, oh great master.

I use a program called Woofy.

There are tutorials out there on how to create your own definitions (config files that instruct the program which pages to grab the files from), just do some googling. There is also a pre-loaded example, but it didn't work by the time I used it, had to rewrite it. Now it's broken again. Probably just needs to have the url's replaced:

comic "Gunnerkrigg Court"
start_at "http://gunnerkrigg.com"

for page in visit("""href="(?<content>[^\n]*?)"><img src="http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/images/prev_a.jpg">"""):
download("""<img class="comic_image" src="(?<content>/comics/[^"]*?)">""")

[GK Sierra]

Got it! I was right. Just needed to swap out the urls.

Just download Woofy, create a text file with this in your "Definitions" folder and change it to a ".def" file.
Then select it from the options, and watch it go. I'll post the full archive when it's done.



comic "Gunnerkrigg Court"
start_at "http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1268"

for page in visit("""href="(?<content>[^\n]*?)"><img src="http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/images/prev_a.jpg">"""):
download("""<img class="comic_image" src="(?<content>/comics/[^"]*?)">""")

Maybe because you can now read it without internet? I don't really know the details. I want the book, but shipping is one complicated mess I don't want to get into.

...how are you talking to a spam bot?

Does this work for macs? If so, I will try that the first moment I have time. (Along with posting that damn set of card images for the mtg section, which I still haven't gotten to)

[GK Sierra]

I don't know if its compatible, actually.

Here are some possible alternatives if Woofy isn't supported by Macs: bestalternativeto.net/alternative-to-woofy/


I also changed the extension a bit so that it goes back-to-front, otherwise you would have to keep changing the file every time a new page came out:


comic "Gunnerkrigg Court"
start_at "http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1"

for page in visit("""href="(?<content>[^\n]*?)"><img src="http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/images/next_a.jpg">"""):
download("""<img class="comic_image" src="(?<content>/comics/[^"]*?)">""")

[Daedalus]

I will try that later

I thought/think OP might have been one of those spam bots/spammers that registers and posts advertisements. I looked into the site after posting, and it seems legit but I dunno how it works when it comes down to particulars. I'm not a big fan of 3rd party websites selling and making a profit off of webcomics that are freely available, but as long the creators are seeing part of the cut I guess there isn't anything wrong with those sites.
