Forge Beta: 07-12-2013 ver 1.4.3
13008 cards in total.
Release Notes
- Forge now requires Java 7 -
Please update your Java runtime environment. At this point Forge versions 1.4.2 and above will no longer run under Java 6.
- Planechase AI -
This version of Forge includes basic support for AI opponents making use of the planar die in Planechase game mode. The AI will be able to use the "Roll the planar die" ability for most of the planes currently supported by Forge. Please note that this AI is currently in its infant stage, so don't expect it to utilize the planar die in a very smart fashion.
- New M14 cards -
Forge now includes most of the new M14 cards. It may take a few days before these new card pictures become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Card Pictures" button. The LQ set pictures tend to take a few more weeks to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient.
- Match and Deck Editor Layout problems -
The match and deck editor windows contain panels that can be moved and/or resized. The changes that you make are saved to files that are named "editor.xml" and "match.xml". These files can be found in your userDir/preferences/ directory.
Sometimes people will decide that they do not like the changes that they made and wish to go back to the original layout. To reset layouts to deafult, go to the Game Settings -> Preferences -> Troubleshooting section. You will find at this location two buttons that will reset the match layout and the deck editor layouts.
Also use the mentioned measure if your match or deckeditor won't start - it would help in 90% of the cases.
- The Mac OS X application -
At this time Forge now requires Java 7 and will no longer run under Java 6.
Unfortunately, the Mac OS X builder that we were using does not support Java 7. We hope to find and to use a different Mac OS X builder in order to continue releasing a Mac OS bundled application like we have in the past.
Currently, the windows/unix release of Forge includes a launcher file named "forge.command". Double click on the "forge.command" launcher command file and this will in turn launch the Forge jar file via the terminal application while increasing the Java heap space. This should be a temporary inconvenience.
- Adding additional opponent decks to your /res/quest/duels/ directory -
Some people are adding additional opponent decks to their /res/quest/duels/ directory in an attempt to increase the number of opponents they will face while playing a quest.
The decks located in your /res/quest/duels/ directory are text files that have a file extension of ".dck" rather than the file extension ".txt". These deck files can be loaded into a basic text editor. You can view the contents of the deck files this way.
There is a metadata line for the deck's difficulty setting. Normal decks do not contain this metadata line for the deck's difficulty setting. Starting with Forge version 1.4.3 any deck file that does not include the deck's difficulty setting will be automatically assigned a value of "medium".
You can add a line for the deck's difficulty setting using a text editor and then saving the deck file. Currently, Forge will recognize the following settings:
Difficulty=easy
Difficulty=medium
Difficulty=hard
Difficulty=very hard
At the start of a new quest you will only face opponent decks that have an easy difficulty setting. After you have won a number of matches you will then face the opponent decks that have a medium difficulty setting. After you have won an additional number of matches you will then face the opponent decks that have a hard difficulty setting. Opponent decks that have a very hard difficulty setting may occassionally appear as a possible opponent instead of a opponent deck that has a hard difficulty setting.

Jodah's Avenger should have only one ability (and choose which keyword to gain on resolution).

I can't find Hive Stirrings by typing in sliver. Cardtext-search seems to be bugged sometimes.

We have not updated oracles for M14 cards, so this issue might be a side effect of that.Pux wrote:I can't find Hive Stirrings by typing in sliver. Cardtext-search seems to be bugged sometimes.

BTW, I haven't tested this, but following cards use similar template, so they might be implemented wrong as well: Flowstone Sculpture, Golem Artisan, Lunar Avenger, Nature's Blessing, Urza's Avengerswordshine wrote:Fixed.

(For Nature's Blessing and Flowstone Sculpture [in some corner cases involving copying], you should be also unable to choose puting a +1/+1 counter if the card to receive it can't have counters placed on it for whatever reason.)

I can't exile cards in my own hand with Karn Liberated. It just says 'The selected card is not a valid choice to be targeted'
My Reflecting Pool can produce mana of the colors of all lands on the battlefield, not just the lands i control.

1. Please target yourself. Karn's ability cannot target a card in your hand.Bundy wrote:I can't exile cards in my own hand with Karn Liberated. It just says 'The selected card is not a valid choice to be targeted'

2. I cannot reproduce this. The script seems correct.

. Painter's Servant and Teysa, Orzhov Scion are not interacting correctly. I set the Servant to black, but when I sacrifice 3 white spirits (who are also black because of the Servant) I only get 1 white spirit from Teysa's second ability. One of the 3 spirits was black/white irrespective of the Servant, it was the result of Beckon Apparition.
