Forge Beta: 07-29-2011 ver 1.1.1

(Quest icons used created by Teekatas, from his Legendora set http://raindropmemory.deviantart.com)

8688 cards in total.


The dev team is working on setting up a new source code repository. We are no longer using googlecode and forge releases will no longer include a SVN revision number. Instead, they'll be given official x.y.z revision numbers, and possibly a 7 character hex code. To help new developers with the transition away from SVN, Braids has created a new getting started wiki page which is now linked to the forge wiki. Dave is adding the Maven build system to the new source code repository. At some point this may lead to a nightly build and release archive which will be hosted at cardforge.

The Forge main window appears much more quickly than in the prior beta. There is one minor downside: there is a new waiting period after choosing an activity from the main window. This happens because Forge is loading information for all cards. This "new waiting period" only happens once per Forge session, and it has a progress bar (thermometer) to show that Forge is still working. We simply moved the loading of the cards from the beginning of the program to the point where the cards were actually needed.

The card picture files for Magic 2012 should appear online soon. Some are available now and the rest will be online in the near future. Several bugs were fixed and a handful of new cards were added for this version. We also added a new opponent deck or two to the quest mode.


We have changed the archiving format to ".tar.bz2". There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to decompress these archives.


The Mac OS application version:

We have packaged the Forge 07-29-2011 BETA version 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.

You can move a copy of your pictures and decks over to the Forge.app application. Right click or control click on the Forge.app icon. Select Show Package Contents form the contextual menu. A Finder window will open and will display a folder named Contents. Navigate to the folder:

/Contents/Resources/Java/res/

Your decks can be placed in the decks folder, your pics can be placed in the pics folder, etc.


Many people helped with this version. A special thank you goes out to them:

@Chris H.: is this from git rev bc11921? or did you pull something after that before running the build scripts?

[Braids]

i added version "1.1.01 / 2011-07-29 . . ." to Mantis.

@Chris H.: is this from git rev bc11921? or did you pull something after that before running the build scripts?

`
I believe that this beta uses Git bc11921.

I remember Sloth getting in a few last commits while I was updating changes.txt. I did not get around to merging in Git 9add91f and later until after the beta was posted.

[Chris H.]

i added version "1.1.01 / 2011-07-29 . . ." to Mantis.

`
I took a quick glance at the Mantis bug tracker and failed to see what you are referring to. The method setAbilityUsed(int) is undefined for the type Card error appeared in a later commit I suspect.

I took a quick glance at the Mantis bug tracker and failed to see what you are referring to.

when reporting a bug, users can now select "1.1.01 / 2011-07-29 / bc11921" as the Product Version. in fact, it is the first item in the list. i also added 1.1.02, 1.2.00, and 2.0.00 as future versions. i moved the "Git" version in between the present and future versions in the list.

The method setAbilityUsed(int) is undefined for the type Card error appeared in a later commit I suspect.

huh?

This is the first time that I have had a chance to examine the Mantis bug tracker. It might take me awhile. There is a lot of data there.

How do you want to handle bugs in the bug topic? Do you want me to lock the topic and have users report bugs in the beta release topics? It will help to keep a 300+ page topic from appearing again.

yes, i need to create some documentation on how to report a bug. some fields are much more important than others.

i don't think we're ready yet. at the very least we need proper instructions in the first and final messages in the locked topics. i think we need to update our documentation on how to report bugs specifically within Forge's java code as well.

[lazylockie]

nice! a six pack for slapshot for Gideon Jura!

btw, where should the quest opponent pictures go?

That is a good idea.

[DemoneNero]

thanks guys more than 8500 cards and Gideon Jura is one of those cards

Is there a possibility of getting a full list of all implemented cards with each release? I maintain a list myself, and use the new cards list for each release to add to it, but there is a mismatch at this point.

I'm comparing this list with a list of decks from the various columns on www.wizards.com to see which ones are forgeable...
