*Ayli wasn't actually done today, but it was just checked off today.

Cultivator Drone and Hedron Alignment were skipped due to complexity. They'll be done when I'm more focused.

63/181 that needed done were done today. One third of the entire set isn't bad for a day's work.

Mighty Leap and Negate are reprints that were already coded. Nissa, Voice of Zendikar was done previously. Oath of Nissa can't be done. Kozilek, the Great Distortion is too complicated for me to focus on while I'm doing them in bulk. I had an idea on how to manage the last ability (the only one not currently working), but it doesn't want to cooperate.

73 more to go. I might get them done tomorrow. Might be a couple days.

Strider Harness and Unknown Shores were from previous sets and were already coded.

I also coded Cultivator Drone and Hedron Alignment which I'd put off. Oath of Nissa is not possible, so it'll be skipped. Kozilek should be possible and is currently the only card not done. It's mostly done, but the last ability isn't yet working.

If anyone wants to test these out, please do so and let me know how it goes.

[Xander9009]

All black cards have been tested and are working/fixed.

Please let me know if Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet, Remorseless Punishment, or Visions of Brutality mess up. All three were quite problematic (especially Remorseless Punishment).

EDIT: By the way, the Wastes basic land is strange. It causes the game to completely fail to animate any lands, but it works as expected. It doesn't know how to display it, but it know how to use it... Not sure how it can be worked around except maybe to try and add the basic type in a continuous action...

[Nick26]

amazing, can't wait to see these cards coded! Thank you so much.

[Xander9009]

Alright, so I've been trying to get Wastes to work. It's been... frustrating.

If the card has the basic subtype at all, whether intrinsically or via a continuous action, then it will behave correctly in all ways as far as the code goes. However, the lands will completely stop animating at all. No land will show being tapped for mana (or at least no basic land?).

Since not having the basic type would be really bad, the only way I can think of to make it work is to do it the same way I did for Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth: make a custom function for filtering basic lands which includes both everything with the basic supertype and cards named wastes. Sort of how the planeswalkers have a filtering function, except that this would be implemented retroactively. In anyone has any ideas for how to manage this without modifying over 250 cards, I'd love to hear any ideas.

EDIT: Alright, so I immediately thought of something that can simplify things. Since the basic supertype just doesn't work on the battlefield, I could make the continuous action work every except the battlefield. Then, any cards that interact with basics elsewhere would work as expected without needing to be modified. I've got a list of 64 cards that needs altered when accounting for this.

when oath of the gate watch is added, will there be a new art folder that will be for the set or is it going into the be put into the most recent (like 16) folder?

[Xander9009]

when oath of the gate watch is added, will there be a new art folder that will be for the set or is it going into the be put into the most recent (like 16) folder?

The art has already been added (as have the cards), and art from here on out (unless something changes it) should behave the same every time.

There are main art wads and an update art wad. Each is limited to 100 MB. The main art wads are filled the vast majority of the art in the CW. However, whenever new art is added, it goes into the update. Only when the update would be larger than 100 MB are the images in the update moved to the main art folder and the main art wads repacked from that folder. So, when the art wads actually all repack due to passing the size limitation, all of the art wads, not just the last, will need redownloaded.

With that in mind, due to how TDX files work, I can already see that the update only contains about 25 MB of images (and as far as the OGW set goes, that'll be as big as it gets). While the art will likely be upgraded as images are submitted, since they're the same resolution (just better images), they'll be the same size. So, the main art wads will not repack for OGW, nor likely for the next 2 sets after it. Only the update will need to be redownloaded (which is why it's set up this way to begin with).

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

In other news, I've tested white, blue, black, red, and green. Multicolored cards and colorless cards are not yet fully tested.

A few cards that were not working but which I skipped for now:
Zendikar Resurgent -- Copied directly from a working card, but it didn't work. Exactly the same as a similar card, but it's not working.
Devour in Flames -- Does no damage to planeswalkers. It's the same code others of its kind use, though, and they now need tested as well...
Linvala, the Preserver -- Doesn't produce tokens. I haven't yet focused on why.

Some colorless cards are done, but not all. I haven't tested any in the last two days, though. I've been preoccupied elsewhere. If anyone tests any of the multicolored or colorless cards and sees they're working or messed up, let me know.

[MasterXploder7]

are and {Q} interchangeable?
if i used a card that produced does it count to a cost or ability that has {Q}?
if i used a card that produced {Q} does it count to a cost or ability that has ?

Yes. Just like with the official rulings, {Q} is 1 colorless mana. So, when something produces {Q}, what's it's producing is . The only difference is that something that requires in its cost can have that paid by any color of mana (including colorless) whereas something that requires {Q} must be colorless mana.
