Well now it's working but it goes to sleep when downloading cards and updates.
Is this the intended behavior? I'm guessing that's what's making the app unstable in my phone.

Thanks for your reply Dr dev. Now that I know it isn't fully scripted yet it's good to know.

I'll just leave these here fyi anyways:

Gitfrog: discarding lands, to trigger drawing a card (eg: from molten vortex) isn't working

Brain in the jar: adding a counter, then casting a spell for less than the counters = to, does not work correctly. I was able to cast 6 mana spells from one counter. Tested on different spells

Mount Keralia bugs out the game after it is planeswalked from. It seems that the trigger causes the error.

Not sure if it's just me, but lately when playing Planar Conquest, if the prize wheel lands on Chaos, it gets stuck on the "Chaos Approaching..." message. Hitting the back button gets out of it, but something seems to be causing a hang up.

Does anything appear in Forge/data/forge.log when this happens?

is it only me or there is really no priority during upkeep and draw step?

Hi,

I'm new to the whole Forge thing having got here via a Google+ post lamenting the lack of an Android version of Magic Duels. I've downloaded the Android app and am loving it. I've not used the desktop version of Forge yet.

Is there anyway to synchronise decks between my phone app and my tablet app? I could see that from a search in this forum that someone had wanted a sync between desktop and app for quest progress but this was deemed too difficult at present as it would require a dedicated server. A synchronisation between two android devices for deck builds should be easier (I think. Declaration: I'm no programmer) because it should be possible to hook into the Google Drive associated with that account.

Thanks.

Certain phases where not much happens in are disabled by default. If you take a look at the phase bar, you can see some of the phases are in red and some are in green (if you happen to be colorblind, I'd recommend changing themes. There are a handful that have better contrast for rg colorblind). The ones that are marked as green are set to always stop during. The ones that are always red are set to automatically pass priority (unless a trigger or something hits the stack). To toggle these, just click once. Then you'll be able to have whatever priority you want to setup. Even if its temporary.

Appears there is! Here's a copy of what it says. In case it's worth noting, it doesn't happen every time - I'd say it's about 50/50 so far.

Hey James, you can simply take your save files from the forge/data/quest/saves folder in one device and drop it into the same folder on the other device and it works. So for example I have my Ravnica Quest named Rav1 and there is a file called Rav1.dat in the saves folder and I periodically email it to myself as a backup and then I can just opened the email and save the attached file into the saves folder on any device (Android or PC) and continue my quest.

An automated sync would be nice but this manual way is very simple and just takes a min to do.

Hope this helps.

I just released 1.5.52.001, which should address both of these issues. For the former, I've made it so your phone or tablet should stay awake for the duration of any download. I've also made a similar change to desktop Forge to prevent your computer screen turning off or sleeping while downloading stuff, which should be available in the next snapshot build and beta release.

This release also includes many fixes to SOI cards that were recently released with the new Beta as well as some that were done since the Beta release.

Please let me know if you still encounter your device sleeping while downloading stuff in case I missed something.

Thanks.

I started playing Planar Conquest and I can say I am impressed, it's really fun!
I have a question though: does the current AI know how to cast the commander card from command zone? I played like 4 Commander matches in my Theros conquest and the AI didn't cast the commander even once. The commanders for the AI were various gods, if that matters. A few times the AI specifically did nothing despite having open mana to cast the commander. :/

I've played around a bit with the mode, and the AI will use the Commander during a game.

They will indeed. I've almost cleared all of the planes and they will definitely play commanders. It seems they are on a priority system of some sort - so if there are other cards that are programmed to take precidence they will hold off on summoning them in favor off other plays.
