MTG: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014 (XMAS 2024 EDITION)

[etphonehome]

Hi, this is the MTG: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014 (XMAS 2024 EDITION)

First, I want to THX everyone that was involved in this project during the CW era. THX to you, I am able to implement new cards inspired by your existing code. I’m not going to cite names because I’ll probably forget some. THX to all the previous cards creators, function creators and the great “Deck creator”. You all did an amazing job!

This a version that I’m working for myself, but I share what I have with you. The main purpose of this version is to get new cards available to the “random deck generator” that I’ve created. This is NOT a continuation of the CW version of the game. I took the game from the last CW version and modified the game as I intended.

You still can create your custom decks and use them in the game.

The purpose of this version is to have DOTP2014 with the most possible cards, but only those who can be played by both Human and AI and don’t interfere with the game framerate.

The good:
- Hundreds of debugged cards
- Updated HD ART, size: 1024X752 or 752X1024 for ALL cards and tokens (Art treated with AI and some other tricks, from DEFAULT SCRYFALL art images).
- About 300 new art for tokens added
- DOTP has now 20034 supported cards up to Streets of New Capena (37 cards already coded from this set)
- Most cards (In my ability) coded from "Limited Edition Alpha, 1993" up to SNC (more than 600 cards where coded from older sets)
- About 2950 new cards in comparison to CW version
- Recoded land cards (2, 3 colors or mana of any color)
- Recoded energy counters
- Abilities description on cards, like in paper cards
- Updated text (enters the battlefield is now just “enters”; no more "to your mana pool" text; "converted mana cost" is now "mana value")
- Support for day/night, dungeons, Initiative, ability counters…
- "Type 5" and "Type 5 Speed"; this is how i usually play DOTP14 with my random generated decks (just add card to your deck to try it).
- A lot of other minor changes

The bad:
- CW version is not fully compatible with this version. Cards with words like “permanent” or “enchantment” are not compatible with this version (I’ve simplified the functions)
- Planeswalkers are not supported
- Cards with mana related effects that AI isn’t able to play properly, are not supported
- Cards or effects that slow the game framerate are also not supported (Improvise, Delve…)

Bonus:
- A python, random deck generator is provided (created for personal use)
- A python, small tournament app was also created for personal use, but also available
- A python app to generate skeleton code of cards, because DotPUniGen.exe is not creating card skeleton anymore

Transform cards are now "supported" also in "my version". They already existed, were finely coded and don't interfere with framerate. I didn't included them already because there was no way of knowing in what card it was transforming into and you couldn't play accordingly. But i've included this info now and you can get the info about the card the the transforming card will transforme into, Just Zoom the card and click "More Info" button to check the description about the card to transform into, Phyrexia: All Will Be One cards are coded and checked. Only some cards from it's Commander are missing (the hard ones). Maybe ,next, i'll be coding the transform cards left behind and try to code Prototype cards before moving to newer sets.
