Can someone code a trinket mage?
I found one but its ability does not work and it is a crucial part to my deck!!
Thanks!

[jacque]

I dunno if this happened to you before, but I've coded 2 cards exactly the same way I've coded the other cards I've done so far (they work), but these two cards do not appear in the Deck Builder at all... Anyone has a clue to why? Or have experienced this as well? Shadowmage Infiltrator and Phyrexian Dreadnought...

[thefiremind]

Well, I'm a noob, I need to retest all code.
Is there anybody want to code Phyrexian Dreadnought and Stifle, that's cool!

Who would have thought that some triggers carry a TriggerStackObjectID() information...
Stifle would require to actually target the ability, that's another story. However, this opens the doors to Jetting Glasskite, Shimmering Glasskite and Kira, Great Glass-Spinner, which is quite awesome.
EDIT: Actually, the "glass creatures" aren't easy... we need to keep track of the permanents that became target of spells or abilities in a turn separately. Even with the first two creatures, there's a chance they lose all abilities earlier in the turn (I can't think of a card that makes a permanent lose all abilities for less than a whole turn, but let's be careful) and become targets during that time, this would count as first time anyway, and later when they get their abilities back they shouldn't trigger anymore.

I dunno if this happened to you before, but I've coded 2 cards exactly the same way I've coded the other cards I've done so far (they work), but these two cards do not appear in the Deck Builder at all... Anyone has a clue to why? Or have experienced this as well? Shadowmage Infiltrator and Phyrexian Dreadnought...

Check those points. If they are all negative, then I don't know what to suggest.

I believe this will work... just tested it...

Your Trinket Mage ability is just missing a <MAY />.

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

EDIT: I just coded one of my favorite cards, but I'm not sure if I'll use it in a deck (a Wizard deck would be nice but many good Wizards have morph... ), so I decided to share it here. Behold the super-annoying Fatespinner!
There are 6 strings that need to be localised:

• CARD_QUERY_FATESPINNER_DRAW_STEP
• CARD_QUERY_FATESPINNER_MAIN_PHASE
• CARD_QUERY_FATESPINNER_COMBAT_PHASE
• PLAYER_MESSAGE_FATESPINNER_0
• PLAYER_MESSAGE_FATESPINNER_1
• PLAYER_MESSAGE_FATESPINNER_2

where the player messages let the other players know which step/phase has been chosen.
In my tests I saw the AI slowing down considerably during main phase 1 after choosing to skip the combat phase, I don't know why. Aside from this little annoyance, the card seems to work.

[jacque]

TFM!!! I found the reason why Shadowmage Infiltrator not appearing... the Rarity: S, changed it to R then the Deck Builder recognized it... Jor Kadeen was the Metalcraft block giving problem...

Thanks for pointing out the <MAY /> tag... updated KEV's Ranger as well... *copied the whole block blindly*

I do realize that there are some cards by some modders are not using the multiverseid found on gatherer... should I keep those cards? What u think TFM?

[thefiremind]

As long as the ID is unique, it doesn't matter if it's the real Multiverse ID or not. Using the real Multiverse ID (preferrably with a personal prefix) is just a way to use numbers that someone else (Wizards of the Coast ) ensured to be unique.

[kevlahnota]

[MC Brodie]

This is reaching but would something like this work for a Stifle approximation? Have a triggered ability that saves a pointer to any active abilities on the stack to a data chest (like what was done for Gomazoa). This may have to be done with a manager token. When Stifle is cast use a multiple choice dialog to let you choose which ability you want to counter based on what's in the data chest. I guess you would have to use ObjectDC but it could work? Maybe?

@kev - I was very disappointed to see they included Rootbound Crag and Sunpetal Grove as essentially dead cards. They probably just used TFMs web generator and called it a day . Also, will that version of platinum angel work if we remove the "cannot block" code?

Maybe?

What would you write in the multiple choice dialog that allows the player to understand which ability you are talking about?
Besides that, being able to code Stifle might make other cards impossible to code properly: the assumption that we can't meddle with "invisible" abilities (Frost Titan only meddles with targetted abilities, which always require user's interaction, so it's OK) allows for some useful approximations. I can't think of one right now, but I'm sure there are.

I was very disappointed to see they included Rootbound Crag and Sunpetal Grove as essentially dead cards.

What?! I haven't put my hands on the expansion yet, but... what would they use them for? A challenge? Do they have the right frame at least? (I guess not.)

Also, will that version of platinum angel work if we remove the "cannot block" code?

Again, I can't see it, but Platinum Angel (together with the demon that does the opposite thing, can't remember the name) is easy to code, look at the list of the player characteristics and grant the appropriate ones to the appropriate players. That's all.

[kevlahnota]

@kev - I was very disappointed to see they included Rootbound Crag and Sunpetal Grove as essentially dead cards. They probably just used TFMs web generator and called it a day . Also, will that version of platinum angel work if we remove the "cannot block" code?

Hmmm, maybe the lands are for the next dlc update or they forgot to remove them(I hope they added the frame override and produce 2+ mana ). Also the PLATINUM_ANGEL_CH12.XML will work if you remove the "cannot block" code.

[MC Brodie]

No the lands are in the first challenge for a Blood Moon target. They aren't functional at all. Just a <MANA_ABILITY> with localised text. I don't know about the frames.

I must have been confusing Platinum Angel with a different card that won't work in DotP. I'm not sure anymore.

And thefiremind, always down to rain on my parade, eh?

Edit:
Something I've discovered while coding Oona, Queen of the Fae, please correct me if I'm wrong.
- Oona, a multi-colored creature... casting it with any combination of mana ( and/or ) isn't a problem.
- The problem occurs when you try to use Oona's activated ability, coded as {g}, it will not recognize the mana you can produce even though you have more than enough.
- My conclusion, "dual mana cost" is only applicable to mana costs for spells, but not for activated/triggered abilities.

Update: I've got a working Oona... separated the activated ability accordingly ( a block, another block) instead of lumping it together as {g}.
Update: Surprisingly the B/G activation cost works on Deity of Scars... hmmm

{g} must be used only inside the ability text, while costs need {U/B}. Look at this:

I used {g} at first, and I couldn't activate the ability on Oona. My guess is that it's paired with an "X"... "X" with normal mana symbols work fine... that's why I guess, the Deity of Scars I coded works, coz it doesn't have the "X" as part of its activation cost... So that's why I'm sticking to separate activation abilities for Oona. I'm not sure if you've encountered this before. *shrugs*

I'm not sure if you understood what I meant...

Code: Select all

    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![{X}{g}: ...
...
    <COST mana_cost="{X}{U/B}" type="Mana" />

This is correct. Any other placement of {g} instead of {U/B} or vice versa is wrong.
