Thefiremind's DotP2012 DLC v9 (07/7/2012)

[MisterBenn]

This really is a great DLC, I've been having a lot of fun and the cards are put together to a great standard. Also I like all the variety! I have a couple small pieces of feedback.

1) I think the Bloodied Night decks needs another Mountain or two, there are only 6 in the deck at the moment and a few cards require 2 of them.

2) Using Rakdos Chaos I played Twinstrike as my only card in hand versus two Mnemonic Wall cards. They were the only two enemy creatures but I was not able to cast Twinstrike as no valid targets were available. There was nothin present granting Shroud or Hexproof or anything like that, I think that perhaps Twinstrike has an issue when in Hellbent mode.

Thanks again, I am enjoying this a lot.

[thefiremind]

Thanks for the feedback! I already tried to fix Twinstrike, but it wasn't successful as I can see. I'll try again.

I found “DIVINE_SACRAMENT_19991607”and "RIPTIDE_DIRECTOR_19991573" and "VAMPIRE_LACERATOR_19991448" BUG fix, as long as the conversion to XML files from ANSI encoding can be a UTF-8. Hope useful.

Thanks! It's due to the fact that Deck Editor Revised saves XML's in UTF-8 only if there are special characters in it, otherwise it saves to ANSI... but then I insert special characters with Notepad while writing localised text, and I forget to change encoding.

That'd be a great thing to mention to the program's author. I am under the impression that it is a work in progress, and I'm sure that it is difficult for him to monitor all of the threads on this board. I also suspect that you'd have lots of good feature suggestions - maybe make a list and post it in the deck editor thread?

Hi, can you try this code for Twinstrike ?

Code: Select all

    filter:SetNeutral()
    filter:PlayerAntiHint( Object():GetPlayer() )
    if (filter:CountStopAt( 2 ) == 2) then
       return (TARGET_DETERMINATION_ALL)
    else
       return (TARGET_DETERMINATION_NONE)

         end
          end
    end
</RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>


[thefiremind]

Thanks for the advice, but it's almost the same code I used before. The new code I used selects both targets in the same action and it has proved to work, so I prefer to avoid going back.

The problem with Twinstrike is that the CountCardsinHand function changes the filter. Here's the tweak:

Code: Select all

DECK "1999_SLIVERS_REVENGE" have 5 "MUSCLE_SLIVER_19991202"

[thefiremind]

DECK "1999_SLIVERS_REVENGE" have 5 "MUSCLE_SLIVER_19991202"

Thanks for the feedback! I can't remember when I added them, but I probably wanted to switch from 2 to 3 while keeping them together in the deck list, and I didn't delete the first 2.

I'll release a new version quite soon... it will be fully localised (where translation was available, otherwise in English anyway) and it will have a Werewolf deck with fully working Moonmist and Immerwolf...

[thefiremind]

The big update is finally here! Download and have fun!

[Aarala]

Thanks TheFireMind for the awesome mod. I noticed Voracious Hatchling is missing the text about black spells.

Also what was the reasoning behind Maximum Risk? There are much better creatures/spells that work with Homicidal Seclusion like sacrificing or Killing Wave.

Edit: Moonmist didnt work when I blocked a vampire with Immerwolf, they both died. It might have been because there wasnt anything to transform.

[thefiremind]

I noticed Voracious Hatchling is missing the text about black spells.

I didn't even notice that, but I'm afraid it's because there are too many lines of text. Either I give up putting the real mana cost in the text, or I put it in the same line as lifelink.

Also what was the reasoning behind Maximum Risk? There are much better creatures/spells that work with Homicidal Seclusion like sacrificing or Killing Wave.

The main theme on Maximum Risk isn't Homicidal Seclusion, but risky creatures. Then, since they are risky, it's usual to play with only 1 on the battlefield, so I added the "loner" theme.
I'm not sure if there's a way to code Killing Wave properly: I would need to ask the question for each creature while being sure that the player knows which creature is asked to pay for.

A really great mod, but there a problem to me, or to some cards ...

Full Moon: Full Moon's Rise didn't give my Werewolfts +1/+0 and trample

Full Moon: Mayor of Avabrock did'nt give +1/+1 to other human's and didn't transform
[lua] [string "MAYOR_OF_AVABRUCK_DECK_19991706_TITLE (RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION) [1422A0E0]"]:5: attempt to index a nil value

Full Moon: Immerwolft didn't +1/+1 to other Wewewolfs

Played with Full Moon agains Ajani's Aura. There was no Enchantment whitch wanted to stick an any creature. Very strange.

Thanks for many hours of great games.

P.S. Magic13 will have 10 new decks. That sounds kind of ridiculous to compare it to this mod.

[thefiremind]

You seem to have some kind of incompatibility between my mod and another one. The Werewolf creature type isn't in the game by default so I had to add it. You have some other mod that uses the constant for my CREATURE_TYPE_WEREWOLF for another creature type, or assigns a different constant to that name.

About the Auras, this is a problem that has been reported with kev's mod, too, and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with card subtypes, too, since kev uses the same constants:

I tried playing Shackles and Conviction but after choosing the target, the spell resolves with nothing happening to the target I chose. The card is put to the graveyard and doesn't enchant the target creature.

I found out what the problem was. It seems that all enchantment auras would not attach to creatures. I tried disabling other DLCs that I had in the folder, leaving only this one on and that's solved the problem.

I looked at the other mods and I'm almost sure it's because of sadlyblue's mod (Data_DLC_5555.wad): his sequence of added creature types is GERM - WEREWOLF, while mine is GERM - PRAETOR - WEREWOLF.
That means that, as long as you have sadlyblue's mod installed, my Werewolves are Praetors in your games!

Here's what you can do:

• Easy fix: move Data_DLC_5555.wad to another directory or rename that (maybe by changing the extension from wad to wax or whatever you want) when you want to play with my mod, then undo the changes when you want to play with sadlyblue's mod again.
• Less easy fix: if you have the tools to unpack/pack wad files, unpack Data_DLC_5555.wad, then unzip the following zip file inside DATA_DLC_5555\DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS\DATA_REQUIRED:
  

  5555_DATA_REQUIRED.rar

  Fix for incompatibility with sadlyblue's mod

  it should overwrite 2 files (if it doesn't, you unzipped to the wrong directory). Repack the wad and you should have no more incompatibility problems.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the detailed feedback! I'll add a note to the first post about the problem.
