Formal Request Thread

[thefiremind]

I have been trying to code Crimson Hellkite, but the only card that restricts the mana you can use so far is Consume Spirit. It's an official card, but since the stuck it in a mon-black deck there is no actual restriction that I can see governing the mana you can use to pay X. Is there an easy way to do this?

An easy way? No. A tricky way? Yes. But be aware that it works only for abilities, which can't change their costs in DotP games: on Consume Spirit it would be wrong because it wouldn't take things like Jet Medallion into account.

Just give me some time to update my DotP2013 Crimson Hellkite code.
EDIT: Here it is. Happy scorching!

[BloodReyvyn]

Awesome man, thanks.

I found a way to code Elite Arcanist and Prototype Portal. It won't be visually appealing, but it works, which is the important thing. The idea is easy and I wonder why I haven't thought about it before: make a set of activated abilities, each one with a different mana cost, and grant one of them according to the exiled card's converted mana cost.
I remember someone requesting Elite Arcanist, well I added Prototype Portal as a bonus. Have fun!

I have a question to help, when I try to code storm ability, use CopySpell, if the original spell is no longer on the stack, I still get copies, but can't choose new target and the copies have no effect, I test tfm's Melek, Izzet Paragon and kev's storm card, seem to have similar problems. Who else have tried to use CopySpell copy a spell that isn't target?

RSN_ObjectDC can't be used to <AVAILABILITY>?

I never tested this scenario, and I thought that TriggerObjectLKI was enough to make it work right. If it isn't enough, it seems like an engine bug to me... have you tried to protect the card pointer and then use TriggerObject rather than TriggerObjectLKI? It might be even worse, but that's the only idea I had.

Probably, but I'm leaving that as last hope: I always like to see how far I can go only with what the built-in functions offer me.

I need a couple of cards for a deck I'm making in Magic 2014; if I knew what program to use to do it myself I would attempt it, but I don't want to divide by zero here xD.

I think RSN_ObjectDC is also a built-in function, it just use DuelDataChest to rebuild ObjcetDC, we can use DuelDataChest instead of it, but to do that the code will be very very long.

I have your decks, but I don't have those cards in my deck builder...

[sumomole]

I have your decks, but I don't have those cards in my deck builder...

They're in this 2013 mod, and I code the other cards here. I haven't tested, if they have bugs, please reply to me.

Thanks for making the requested cards, but how do I put all these files into a .wad?

EDIT: I don't think Orzhov Charm is working on his WAD since I have everything his deck with it needs but it's still missing.

First and foremost, I want to thank each and every one of you for putting in the time and effort to massively improve/extend this game for me and I'm sure plenty of others. I've always been a very casual mtg player, with no desire to play with paper, so all the work you guys do allows me to really mess around and just have fun. That said, there are still a ton of cards I'd really love to have access to and I was wondering if any one here would be open to adding them to their main DLC packs, as I have not a single drop of experience in coding/building/adding said cards beyond pasting WADs into the main directory.

Alright, I guess I've gotta find a stopping point somewhere, haha. On a semi-related note, I'd be curious if anyone would be open to commission work for sets/batches of cards or particularly tricky cards like Planeswalkers(if they're even possible, I obviously have no clue haha) as I'd really like to give-back in some way for all the hard work you guys do. Thank you and cheers

It was giving First Strike and Trample every time it attacked, but I think I have it where it will only trigger when it attacks with 2 other creatures but it doesn't actually give the ability to itself or other creatures. Stumped. Thanks in advance.

Coding the cards yourself can be confusing to pick up at first, but it's much easier than you might think. As for the Planeswalkers, they've been attempted on many occasions, and at least one person was recently experimenting with them, but so far, I know of no one who has made a universally working Planeswalker. I can't code these yet (just as I haven't any of the other recent requests) because I'm currently working on a number of mods for Skyrim. However, if you'd like to try your hand at coding, I'd be more than happy to walk you through the first steps. With such a long list of cards, you might be happier being abel to make them yourself.

It has a few problems.
1) "FilterSource()" should be "FilteredCard()".
2) The filtered cards from the trigger aren't carried over, they need their own filter block.
3) The <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="6"> needs to have filter_id="0" after layer like this <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="6" filter_id="0"> (this, of course, follows the last fix where we make that filter).
4)The reason it was doing it every time it attacked was because separate triggers fire separately. So, the "this creature attacks" trigger was firing, even if the other wasn't. Instead of having two triggers, you need to replace the second one with <INTERVENING_IF>.
5) A minor thing (but still important), is that the card says creature you control get those abilities, not attacking creatures.

It still doesn't have grant the unblockable by tokens bit.

[enfilade]

I couldn't get the ability to trigger at all with your code, but I was missing the FilterCard() and filter_id="0". Adding those 2 back in and switching to the 'battalion' code off Boros Elite brings it back to the whole triggering while attacking alone. Upon testing other battalion cards it seems they all trigger every attack regardless of the number of creatures attacking with them. As to the unblockable by tokens, I figured I'd work on that piecemeal as clearly I have a lot to learn

here is the 'all attacks' code:
