Manalink 9/9:Conspiracy for the recoding of M15-10/20new upd
Posted: 09 Sep 2014, 14:40
Well, Manalink friends, it's like Metallica said : "Old habits reappear / Fighting the fear of fear": Korath is super-busy, so I'm back in charge of releasing the update and being somewhat rusted in this, I'm a bit worried.
For good reasons: this is a big patch, including some cards from Conspiracy (all the ones that not involves Draft), almost all M15 PLUS 99% of the old Microprosed cards recoded in C, so we could finally have them correnctly interact with the new ones !
Thus said, since I'm the only developer (apart for the Foolosopher which is still working on Draft, but its work is still "parked" until Korath is back), I had almost no time for testing the cards, so expect a long string of bugs and a V2 coming shortly.
Also, I've modified the "DUH mode": if you have it enabled in "config.txt2 then all optional triggers become mandatory, so if you want the option to decline them you have to disable Duh mode.
Then, I've to report that this release includes one annoying bug which we cannot remove as it will mess many other thigs (again, we should wait until Korath is back before solving this) : currently, you can't use activated abilities during combat unless you've an Instant in hand.
To avoid this problem, follow these steps:
1 - The first time you load the game and play the first duel as soon as the duel begins you have to put a STOP to BOTH attack phases (so that will give you the chance to put stops "fast effects assign attackers" and "fast effects assign blockers") as it will open the attack phase menu when you come to that step.
2 - Then as soon as you put the stops in the fast effects you can remove the stop from the attack phases so it doesn't stop there if there are no creatures to attack,for players attack phase this works great for AI's phase it will not stop on "fast effects assign attackers" step though only to "fast effects assign blockers".
As usual, for all this our endless and deep support & "Thank you!" goes to Korath, Sonic, Foolosopher, Aswan Jaguar, Stassy and all the others Bug Hunters.
Finally, here's the link and the usual Sonic corner : V1.1 (Dll fixed) https://www.mediafire.com/?vaz8izqz7i3kqo7
Minipatch update 20 October 2014 (attached to this post) : this fixes some bugs (see changelog). I'll submit only these minipatches regularly unless I've something bigger (aka Khans of Tarkir) to release, so check this post often. It also contains the changelog from the previous minipatch and the CSVs files, as someone requested. The minipacth DOES NOT contain the updated SRC folder, if you need it PM me.
IMPORTANT : YOU NEED THE MAIN PATCH (V1.1) BEFORE APPLYING THE MINIPATCH !
