Forge version 1.5.33

[Chris H.]

Tentative target release date: I need to fix my new dev system before I can give an estimate.

[Agetian]

A rather serious visual issue that interferes with gameplay and largely breaks it (when encountered) was reported here:
viewtopic.php?f=52&t=6333&p=171245#p171245

Just a heads-up here because I think it's something that is worth resolving before the next beta if anybody knows what's up (there aren't too many Phasing cards out there but playing with older sets potentially makes running into this bug a risk).

[Agetian]

In continuation of my reports of the Phasing issue, it looks like something is even more majorly up than I originally imagined - it's not purely a visual issue, but the game state itself becomes broken beyond broken when a card with Phasing comes into the picture. It looks like all the cards save one disappear not only from the UI but from the game state as well when e.g. a land is played with a phased out card present on the battlefield, for instance, I'm not able to auto-tap the lands that I know should be present on the battlefield but are not visualized.

Still can't find the possible source of this... can anyone more knowledgeable about this part of the code please help?

EDIT: I figured out that this was broken by r27845 by Dan (drdev). It's a huge commit that has no direct references to phasing, so I have little idea what exactly broke it... Assistance needed. Thanks in advance.

I will investigate the Phasing issue as soon as I can. Thanks for narrowing it down to that revision.

EDIT: Turned out to be a pretty easy fix in the end. Fixed in r28626.

Maybe it's a bit off-schedule, but can we go for a release ASAP? Some critical bugs were fixed + FRF was released And I have a ton of semi-experimental changes staged that I'm waiting to commit until a stable version is released that includes the new set.

PS @ Dan: if you can find the time, could you take a look at this? http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=5035&start=375#p171247
It's an issue related to the (un)freezing of trackable objects.

Sure, I can take a look. Have you been able to properly fix the CopyPermanent issue so it uses the controller rather than the activator?

I agree. Also, if we can squeeze in a solution for freezing/unfreezing trackable objects it would be nice, and overall a lot was fixed (including whole modes, such as Momir, and whole game mechanics that used to break the entire game, such as Phasing and Devour).

Yup, r28663.

Solution squeezed in with r28666. Are we ready to release a new Beta then? I'll update the mobile app once that's done.

[Agetian]

I think that we are. Since Chris may not be able to release at this time, should we just link the hotfix snapshot (e.g. r28668) in the release thread or something? Or can anybody else take care of the release?

Hey guys,

I've just fixed a bug that was preventing printsheets from working correctly. Boosters for DGM and FRF (among others) should now be able to include cards from other sets as they're supposed to. This should also fix mana fixing for these sets in limited. I'm fairly confident that this fix didn't break anything, but if you all could open up a bunch of boosters for me to make sure I'd appreciate it.

FRF also now contains the correct (until someone does the research on the real numbers) distribution of lands including some of the rare duals from KTK. See: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/fetching-look-fate-reforged-2014-12-24

Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to fix the problem on my end. At first I thought that it might have been a credentials problem but I now suspect that it is some sort of a JavaHL library problem.

If someone can run the Maven command for beta build and deploys on their computer I can then handle the beta release message.

[Agetian]

Does anybody know the correct invocation for the beta build publish and release?

I sent it to elcnesh a little while ago and Chris would also know. If you don't get it by the time I get home I can either run it myself or send it your way.

Okie doke, thanks a lot and feel free to run it! (and I'd also like to know just in case )
