Ok guys, i have made an alternative solution.
It works for all the official permanents who has Hybrid mana into casting cost.
I have used the site magiccards.info to retrieve all the permanents with hybrid mana into casting cost.
Here you can check the list ( i have excluded not permanent cards)http://magiccards.info/query?q=has%3Asplitmana+is%3Apermanent&v=olist&s=cname
With some macro edits i have turned the card named into format normally used by DOTP cards.
Then i made a function who set the right dual devotion for each card.
Obviously if will come out new cards we need to keep the function updated.
THE CARD MUST HAVE OFFICIAL NAME, SAME WE GET FROM FIREMIND WEBGENERATOR.
The working idea is :
Firs of all we could need to check different devotions for each card so i defined how many dual devotions we can have :
So i have made a function who set the right devotion value into a chest for each card, So for example you want to know the dual devotion Blue-Black for CardA you have just to call my function in this way : NEO_ReturnDualDevotion(CardName, 4).
I have tested and it works.

OK, I came up with something (untested) that MIGHT allow taking into account hybrid mana after a few modifications.
Basically, my code is this:
-First, we get rid of all the non-colored mana; that won't be taken into account. As such this won't be compatible with cards like Spectral Procession.
-If the sum of the chroma count of all colors is greater than the total amount of colored mana (CMC minus the colorless mana), the difference is the amount of hybrid mana.
-AS LONG AS THERE IS ONLY ONE TYPE OF HYBRID MANA IN A GIVEN CARD, hybrid mana of any two specific colors, given C1 is the first colo, C2 is the second color, and H is the amount of hybrid mana, can be found by this equation:
Total = ((C1+C2) - C1) + ((C1+C2) - C2) + H
The first set of brackets represent the part of mana of only color 1. The second set of brackets represnts the part of mana of only color 2.
-After a quick check, I have confirmed that there are presently no cards with more than one type of hybrid mana. This should work for the time being.
Note that I just came up with this in about an hour, and I'm pretty sure there's a mistake somewhere. I'm hoping someone experienced can fix any mistakes I made here and hopefully come up with a dual devotion function that will serve our purposes for the time being.
Basically, my code is this:
- Code: Select all
local devotion = 0
local count = filter:EvaluateObjects()
for i=0, (count-1) do
local object = filter:GetNthEvaluatedObject()
if object ~= nil then
local cmc = object:GetConvertedManaCost()
local black = object:ChromaCount(COLOUR_BLACK)
local red = object:ChromaCount(COLOUR_RED)
local green = object:ChromaCount(COLOUR_GREEN)
local blue = object:ChromaCount(COLOUR_BLUE)
local white = object:ChromaCount(COLOUR_WHITE)
local none = object:ChromaCount(COLOUR_COLOURLESS)
local colored = black + red + green + blue + white
local total = cmc - none
local rakdos = black + red
if total < colored then
--We have hybrid mana
local hybrid = colored - total
--Testing for red
if red > (green + black + blue + white) then
--Testing for black
if black > (green + white + blue + red ) then
--Rakdos mana found!
local final = (rakdos - red) + (rakdos - black) + hybrid
devotion = devotion + final
else
devotion = devotion + rakdos
end
else
devotion = devotion + rakdos
end
else
devotion = devotion + rakdos
end
end
end

This will run into problems with cards like Esper Stormblade, Arsenal Thresher, Bant Sureblade, Giant Ambush Beetle, etc.... This is due to having 3 colours in the casting cost and being unable to programmatically tell which colours are the hybrid mana colours. There is only one type of hybrid mana in each of them, but each has 3 colours which screws up the calculations.GrovyleXShinyCelebi wrote:-AS LONG AS THERE IS ONLY ONE TYPE OF HYBRID MANA IN A GIVEN CARD, hybrid mana of any two specific colors, given C1 is the first colo, C2 is the second color, and H is the amount of hybrid mana, can be found by this equation:

Looking through your function, I believe yor function only returns the amount of total hybrid mana in a card. I just realized my equation is void because of how chromas are taken. Ugh.. What you could do is subtract the hybrid amount from chroma of the two colors you're testing, though I believe this again only works on cards with one type of hybrid mana (which appears to be every hybrid mana card currently printed, not saying Wizards might not add cards with multiple types of hybrid in the future... and for these purposes I'm not counting {2/} cards as hybrid).

Of course, a card can have only one type of hybrid mana symbol, and THS set has no hybrid mana card, as for the future sets, that is DotP2015 thing.GrovyleXShinyCelebi wrote:Looking through your function, I believe yor function only returns the amount of total hybrid mana in a card.

Sumo my friend, honestly i lose my mind trying to read your code, probably i need a guide for dummies 
Anyway i finished my version of "Ephara, God of the Polis", thanks also to FireMind for his correction about the trigger ability.
I used my own functions, it will works with all the official cards, including Reaper King.
Here you can find my code :

Great job getting these cards out early guys..we can actually have a leg up on everyone one else, ironically on a game that gets little support from developers lol..i'll let the pros deal with the hard cards, I'll take care of clean up easy cards lol...can't wait to try inspired mechanic with prophet of kruphix. .I was attempting Kiora but I gave up on it (her name doesn't show up next to creature type, second ability can still be done even if first ability was used, does not go to graveyard when depleted of counters, last ability won't work, my LOL file possibly messed up other planeswalkers like xenagos was able to activate abilities multiple times) i'll let you guys handle it lol

Do'h, I just learned through testing that the idea of taking the chroma and subtracting the hybrid from it is still wrong in cases like Bant Sureblade where it will only count towards, say, 1 in devotion to white and green. Also,sumomole wrote:Of course, a card can have only one type of hybrid mana symbol, and THS set has no hybrid mana card, as for the future sets, that is DotP2015 thing.GrovyleXShinyCelebi wrote:Looking through your function, I believe yor function only returns the amount of total hybrid mana in a card.

(num_color == 3 and (colour_A - colour_B == 2 or colour_B - colour_A == 2))
Frankly, looking back at the trail of false leads I've been chasing and several hours testing and trying to fix sumomole's code so it CAN work with said "complex" three color cards, I feel baffled now at how we could incorporate a way to discern the TYPE of hybrid mana from something like Bant Sureblade, seeing as how chroma will only return blue = 1, white = 1, and green = 1, with no way to discern which is which. Other than knowing how much hybrid mana and how much mana of each color there is there really isn't much else I feel we can do. Honestly, right now I just wanna back down from dual devotion for now, as I've tried every way I could think of and I've only succeeded in making myself look like an idiot

In this case we cannot retrieve any usefull info about Hybryd mana, and this is no sense because if they have coded specific symbols for that mana is really silly to don't implement that symbols into mana management code.
Anyway my function is just a repetitive Cut and Paste, but it works with all the official card already released that have hybrid mana, no matters how many colors they have. It is also easy to update.

Re: BORN OF THE GODS - CARDS SPOILER - 11 CARDS CODED
by NeoAnderson » 16 Jan 2014, 18:48
UPDATE : CODED CARDS 11
I made a custom version for this card, could you help me to test it in different circumstances?
The idea is to check some values and set the decision for the AI.
The checks order is :
1. Check if the player has a noncombat damage immunity (If yes, it choose damage, else make next check)
2. Check for creatures under player control immunity, as like indestructible, can't take combat damage, and also player can't lose, or player can't be attacked......(if yes choose counters, else made calculations)
3. Life point and number of counters calculation ( this function will assign a score based on calculation to each choices)
4. Add a bonus score to counters choice if the player control uquals or more creatures than the opponent.
Using this idea is simple to make also new tribute cards (probably we need just to make some other customs functions)
(I know it is not perfect because there are some combination of effects not considered, but i think can be a good base, instead of let the AI take no sense decision)

I have the same feeling of you my friend, i was looking about the other cards with tribute like :sumomole wrote:good job, but I have a feeling that we have to make a lot of work for tribute, each card requires separate code, and scores also need to continue to improve in the test.NeoAnderson wrote:PRIORITY NOTE : THE TRIBUTE FUNCTION IS JUST A TEST, SO PLEASE HELP ME TO LET ME KNOW HOW IT WORKS AND IF YOU FIND SOME WEIRD BEHAVIOUR, WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER TOGHETER.

Nessian Wilds Ravager
Creature - Hydra
Tribute 6 (As this creature enters the battlefield, an opponent of your choice may place 6 +1/+1 counters on it.)
When Nessian Wilds Ravager enters the battlefield, if the tribute wasn't paid, you may have Nessian Wilds Ravager fight another target creature.
About this card i am not sure when is appropriate to give it the counters, normally the best solution is the second one.
Probably the only case is when you want to preserve your creatures, because you are able to kill the opponent next turn, but this is a difficult condition to check! You would also give the counters if you have more creatures and one of them has immunity but this is not always true.
Flame-Wreathed Phoenix
Creature - Phoenix
Flying
Tribute 2 (As this creature enters the battlefield, an opponent of your choice may place two +1/+1 counters on it.)
When Flame-Wreathed Phoenix enters the battlefield, if tribute wasn't paid, it gains haste and "When this creature dies, return it to its owners hand."
About this one the you may accept the counters if you control 1 or more creature with flying with the total power enough to kill the phoenix, or if you control a flying creature with immunity, or if the player has immunity.
The second option could be ok if you are able to exile the phoenix but this is really difficult to check!
So as you was saying this ability is really complex to implement and problably need to implement many other function to have a bigger range of effect to apply. This is all caused by a silly A.I.!!!!
