Forge Beta: 8-14-2015 ver 1.5.43

[Chris H.]

Forge Beta: 8-14-2015 ver 1.5.43


14927 cards in total.


Release Notes


- Easier creature type selection -
Now, when prompted to select a creature type for a card like Obelisk of Urd, creature types present in your deck will appear on top, sorted from most to least frequent, followed by all other creature types.
This should make it so, more often than not, you can just accept the dialog without searching.


- Network play (BETA) -
This version of Forge includes a preliminary version of peer-to-peer (P2P)
network support. If one player hosts, other players can connect to that
player's machine by filling out the corresponding IP address and port number
(default 36743), provided the lobby contains one or more open player slots.
Do not expect network support to work reliably yet, any bug reports or other
comments are welcome!


Known Issues

Known Issues list | Open

- Magic Origins -
Forge now includes many of the new Magic Origins cards. It may take a few days/weeks 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/months to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient. The Forge devs are not involved in maintaining the servers that house these pictures.

- Dragon Presence cards from DTK -
Work has started on the Dragon Presence cards. These cards should typically work on their own merits, but a few corner cases dealing with copying/cloning may not work as expected. As these cases are fairly limited, it was decided to add these cards for people to be able to use.

- Dragons of Tarkir -
Forge now includes many of the new Dragons of Tarkir cards. It may take a few days/weeks 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/months to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient. The Forge devs are not involved in maintaining the servers that house these pictures.

- Fate Reforged cards -
Forge now includes many of the new Fate Reforged cards. It may take a few days/weeks 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/months to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient.

- New Khans of Tarkir cards -

The LQ set pictures tend to take a few more weeks/months to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient. The Forge devs are not involved in maintaining the servers that house these pictures.

- Continued Work on Conspiracy -
Conspiracy is one of the strangest sets that have been released in some time. Currently, we have a few of the "Draft matters" cards scripted, although you'll find that they won't quite be available to you (unless you add them manually into a draft deck). Hopefully we'll get the appropriate functionality in so we can start including them in boosters and allowing you to add Conspiracy type cards straight to your deck the way you do every other variant card. We'll make sure to point out when all of these kinks have worked themselves out.

- The Mac OS application version -
We can now package Forge as a Mac OS application. You can double click the Forge.app icon to launch the forge application on your Apple computer running Mac OS. This application will automatically increase the java heap space memory for you as it launches. This version does not require the forge.command file and it does not need to start the Terminal application as part of the start up process.

The Mac OS X app version apparently requires the Mavericks OS and is not compatible with earlier OS X versions. People with earlier OS X versions should use the Windows and Linux version and launch forge on their Mac by double clicking on the included "forge.command" file.

- Magic 2015 cards -
It may take a few days/weeks 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/months to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient.

There is a known issue with Kodama of the Center Tree: its Soulshift X ability used to crash Forge, and until a proper fix can be implemented, a temporary fix was introduced which prevents the crash but makes the Soulshift X ability work incorrectly in certain cases (in particular, it doesn't work correctly with mass removal, and it may have issues when Kodama of the Center Tree is controlled by someone else other than its owner). In the basic cases (such as Kodama of the Center Tree being destroyed in combat or with a direct damage spell) should work correctly. Hopefully one of the developers will be able to implement a better and proper fix for this card soon.

There is a known issue with the cost reduction for cards that have color-locked X in their mana cost (e.g. Drain Life, Soul Burn). Cost reduction will not apply correctly to these cards if the amount by which the cost is reduced is greater than the amount of colorless mana in the mana cost specified on the card (e.g. 1 for Drain Life, 2 for Soul Burn). Fixing this issue likely requires rewriting the way announced color-locked X is interpreted and paid (most likely it has to be represented with colorless mana shards but still locked to the colors required by the card).

Several people have noticed that the cards displayed on the battlefield will fail to be displayed when the number of cards on the battlefield increases. Maximizing the human panel can help to re-display the cards.

Some time was spent turning the static ETB triggers into the proper ETB replacement effects they should be, mainly to interact correctly with each other. This work is not yet finished. As a result there is currently some inconsistencies with "Enters the battlefield with counters" (Not incredibly noticeable).

A recent contribution to the code base should fix some of the bugs that people noticed with cloning type abilities. At this time there is one remaining issue that we hope will be addressed in the near future:
Copies of cards that setup Zone Change triggers via addComesIntoPlayCommand and addLeavesPlayCommand will not function correctly.

The Forge archive includes a readme.txt file and we ask that you spend a few minutes reading this file as it contains some information that may prove useful. We do tend to update this file at times and you should quickly read this file and look for new information for each and every new release. Thank you.

The archive format used for the Forge distribution is ".tar.bz2". There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to extract/decompress these ".tar.bz2" archives. We recommend that you extract/decompress the Forge archive into a new and unused folder.

Some people use the Windows application 7zip. This utility can be found at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. Mac users can double click on the archive and the application Archive Utility will launch and extract the archive. Mac users do not need to download a separate utility.

[shteev]

Apathy says I 'may' discard a card at random, but it doesn't give me the option not to, and always discards a card at random whether the enchanted creature is tapped or not.

[schizophoenix]

Typo in Soul Summons: When cast, it says "csoulost" on the stack instead of "cost".

[Mrs Non-Gorilla]

Some weird behavior involving Riftwing Cloudskate.

-When it came off suspend, I could attack with it immediately, but it didn't lose the summoning-sickness icon until my next turn.

-I then cast Momentary Blink on it and used it as a chump-blocker. The result was:
--The damage was marked on it, but it didn't actually die.
--However, it was not possible to equip it with anything (I could target it and pay the cost, but it wouldn't have any result).
--It was possible to attack with it, and it did an appropriate amount of damage to my opponent. However, I could only do this by clicking the "Alpha Strike" button; clicking on the card itself to declare it as an attacker had no effect.

[KrazyPyro]

Is there any indication or clue as to when online will be working?. I'm new but i heard its been down since June

[Stealthygolem]

I'm curious about the online thing as well. It's just really laggy and not working yet. Would be nice to know if you're working on improving it soon or not

[shteev]

I take my opponent's turn with Mindslaver. I make my opponent cast Volt Charge at himself. I wish to redirect the damage to my opponent's Koth of the Hammer; however, I am not given the option to redirect.

[Midori]

I take my opponent's turn with Mindslaver. I make my opponent cast Volt Charge at himself. I wish to redirect the damage to my opponent's Koth of the Hammer; however, I am not given the option to redirect.

This is not a bug. Rule 306.7 states, that only noncombat damage dealt by an opponent's source can be redirected by that opponent.
Since your opponent is not their own opponent, their own Volt Charge damage can't be redirected.

[Xitax]

I can't cast Swords to Plowshares even though there are legal targets. EDIT: Now I can't reproduce it.

[correioalternativo]

Forge uses pictures from http://downloads.cardforge.link/images/cards/... to print proxies. Is it possible change to "...\AppData\Local\Forge\Cache\pics\cards"?

*

Is there someone to play online? People from anywhere in the world, like an open chat room, always online.

*

Thank you for Forge.

Description: One Sol Ring, three Underground Sea, and one Nemesis of Reason in play on my side. Log: Turn 6, I played One Underground Sea, one Nemesis of Reason. End turn. Opponent has three Mountain, two Alchemist's Vial in play. Turn 7, Opponent played Steam Vents and paid two life.
At this point I don't know exactly when the error happened, I have steps set to skip the end of my and beginning of my opponents turns. It refused to continue from this point, with a blanked out OK button and Waiting for Opponent displayed.

Seems correct to me, your opponent owns the tokens:

110.5a A token is both owned and controlled by the player under whose control it entered the battlefield.

I have Kytheon, Hero of Akros and 3 other creatures. I attack with the 3 creature but not Kytheon. At end of combat Kytheon transforms. He didn't attack so he shouldn't transform.

Eater of Days is only skipping one turn when it should skip two.
