【0523】237 Return to Ravnica cards

[GeoffW]

If there's a creature on the battlefield and another copy of the same card in a graveyard, I think you have no way to distinguish them if you want to select only the one on the battlefield or only the one in the graveyard.

That sounds like a bug that needs to be fixed.

That sounds like a bug that needs to be fixed.

No, that sounds like an idea... Angel of Serenity hasn't been coded yet.

[BlindWillow]

If there's a creature on the battlefield and another copy of the same card in a graveyard, I think you have no way to distinguish them if you want to select only the one on the battlefield or only the one in the graveyard.

Then one could build two separate datachests with distinguishing text prompts, check to see how many targets have been chosen from the first (probably begin with on the battlefield) and if fewer than three have been chosen, continue to the second datachest.

[SoulStorm]

Sumomole, you made my day! 61 RTR cards, someone has been busy. Angel of Serenity looked like a pain to code. Thanks for all the hard work!

[thefiremind]

Nice idea making the card frames with the watermarks. It's a pity that there's no way to decide which cards should use them and which shouldn't: either you make them override the default ones, or you don't use them at all.

[PhilistineAu]

Great work!

I'd like to have a go at making Staff of Nin but am not sure where to start. I'm looking at the XML files for Howling Mine and Jayemdae Tome - is that where you would start?

Should I be reading the LUA reference manual? I found the DOTP 2012 functions decoded thread - is that another place to start?

I know it would be a pain, but any chance you can provide some basic instructions on how to make cards? Things like what MULTIVERSEID and ARTID value to use?

[Dysgenics]

Check out the card generator utility here: viewtopic.php?f=99&t=7692

It does most of the grunt work for you, and lets you just fill in the functionality.

For Staff of Nin, I think this should do the trick, but haven't tested:

[BlindWillow]

I have to say, awesome work with Angel of Serenity. I would not have thought to use target definitions and determinations so creatively.

I notice Aleksi has the full artwork up for her. I've attached my formatted crop for your usage, if you so desire.

[PhilistineAu]

Thanks!!! I'll give that a shot sometime this week and see if I can get it to work.

How is the numbering system defined? For example, the Staff of Nin text you posted has the file name "Staff of Nin 249713". Is 249713 randomly generated or is it tied to a set number in some way?

Thanks,

Phil

[RiiakShiNal]

How is the numbering system defined? For example, the Staff of Nin text you posted has the file name "Staff of Nin 249713". Is 249713 randomly generated or is it tied to a set number in some way?

249713 is the Multiverse ID of the card (as defined by Wizards of the Coast and accessible via Gatherer).

As to how to get the Multiverse ID, look up the card on Gatherer and look at the address (below is the address for Staff of Nin):
http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=249713
At the end of the address you see "multiverseid=249713" this is where we get the Multiverse IDs from.

[AlexSanchez]

It is possible to have this cards in game? my return to ravnica cards are not like this ones...I suppose we have to replace the tdx of the old ones with this new ones isnt it? however, I dont know how to do it

[RiiakShiNal]

If Staff of Nin is also in Return to Ravnica, then it will eventually be given its own Multiverse ID and place on Gatherer. A card that is re-printed in many sets will have many Multiverse IDs each one referring to the specific set.

If you want to make a card from a set with which we do not know the Multiverse IDs, you can simply make the card without a Multiverse ID. If you want to have an ID with it you can make one up following some rule you make (though I generally advise against random numbers). For example you could make the ID (for filename, art id, etc...) RTR0045 if it is the 45th card alphabetically in the Return to Ravnica set which would be a fairly unique identifier that would be relatively easy to keep up with.

[thefiremind]

I'm starting to look at possible decks with RTR cards, now that I can have access to any picture thanks to the HQCG team.

Did anyone test the AI's reaction to the unleash mechanic? I made just a quick test duel, and the AI always chose to add the +1/+1 counter. Maybe it was a coincidence.
EDIT: I answer by myself: the AI chooses to add the +1/+1 counter really often, but it can also choose not to add it, so the mechanic works perfectly.

A warning about one of the cards coded by sumomole: Wild Beastmaster contains the "Mutilate bug"... what I mean is that if Wild Beastmaster changes his power after his ability resolved, the other creatures will be updated in real time, which is wrong. This is the correct code:

Code: Select all

  <TRIGGERED_ABILITY LKI_shield_effect_source="1" filter_zone="ZONE_IN_PLAY">
    <TRIGGER value="ATTACKING" simple_qualifier="self" />
    <FILTER>
    return OtherCreaturesInPlayYouControl()
    </FILTER>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION ignore_filter="1">
    local source = EffectSource()
    if source == nil then
       source = Object()
    end
    EffectDC():Set_Int( 1, source:GetCurrentPower() )
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="7C">
    if EffectDC() ~= nil and FilteredCard() ~= nil then
       local characteristics = FilteredCard():GetCurrentCharacteristics()
       local power = EffectDC():Get_Int(1)
       if characteristics ~= nil then
          characteristics:Power_Add( power )
          characteristics:Toughness_Add( power )
       end
    end
    </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
    <DURATION simple_duration="UntilEOT" />
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

------------

EDIT 2: I just invented a super-performant TARGET_DETERMINATION for Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord's "return" ability (Sacrifice a Swamp and a Forest: Return Jarad from your graveyard to your hand). It's totally without "for" iterations. Unbelievable?

Code: Select all

      <TARGET_DETERMINATION>
      local filter = Object():GetFilter()
      filter:Clear()
      filter:AddSubType( LAND_TYPE_SWAMP )
      filter:SetController( EffectController() )
      filter:SetZone( ZONE_IN_PLAY )
      filter:NotTargetted()
      local filter_s = filter:EvaluateObjects()
      if filter_s &gt; 0 then
         local swamp = filter:GetNthEvaluatedObject(0)
         filter:Clear()
         filter:AddSubType( LAND_TYPE_FOREST )
         filter:SetController( EffectController() )
         filter:SetZone( ZONE_IN_PLAY )
         filter:NotTargetted()
         local filter_f = filter:EvaluateObjects()
         if filter_f &gt; 0 then
            if (filter_f &gt; 1 and filter_s &gt; 1) or (filter_f ~= filter_s) or (filter:GetNthEvaluatedObject(0) ~= swamp) then
               -- A. more than 1 forest and more than 1 swamp: I'm sure I have enough
               -- B. different quantities of swamps and forests: that means at least 1 forest isn't a swamp or vice versa, so I have enough
               -- C. only scenario still uncovered: exactly 1 swamp and exactly 1 forest: if they are different cards, I have enough
               return 1
            end
         end
      end
      return 0
      </TARGET_DETERMINATION>

Read the comments in the code and you'll notice that I covered all the possible scenarios without having to iterate through all the Swamps and/or through all the Forests. I enjoyed the challenge of inventing this code.

it works perfectly imo. When it enters the battlefield, it lets you choose if you want to exile a creature from the field, then it asks you to exile cards in your opponent's graveyard, then yours. And when it dies or w/e, the cards go into the hands with that reveal card animation so it looks correct. This card is just ridiculous btw, man some cards can just be evil.
