Chakan's House of Cards (Submitted to the Community WAD!)

[Xander9009]

It's most of the way there. You need to use a choice, not a target tag, though. The target tag should be for the player. You have the definition for the target set to do players, but you also have it set to choose 3. The resolution time actions I pointed out are what you need for the choice of cards.

And if you code it such that every time you reference 3 for the number of cards, you replace that 3 with a variable, then as long as you can make sure that variable is set correctly, then it'll work. In this case, like I mentioned, just set the variable to 3, then if it was kicked, set it to 15.

This is untested, but should do the trick. It's commented so that even if it doesn't work, you can see the changes needed to know what it should be doing.

[Chakan]

I appreciate it, Xander, and thank you for helping me out. I'll test it a little later and report back.

On another note, Xander, is there a list of all cards that are apart of your project so far?

[Kithkin]

Kithkin, I got your cards all done, but I haven't tested them out, maybe you can let me know if they're good or not or I'll test them out later. I packed them loose in the zip I attached.

Many thanks for the cards, although I have no idea how to use them. May I ask Xander to include them into the CW? I asked for these cards to include them into D15 decks. Or just give me a refresher course on how to include them into a deck.

[Chakan]

My apologies, Kithkin. Anyone is free to do whatever they want with those cards/art, so if Xander wants to put them into the CW that's his prerogative. Those cards will also be in my wad when it's released if you don't mind waiting.

That's totally fine with me.

[Tejahn]

Here is Counterbore. You can easily modify it to create Sadistic Sacrament. And thanks for the planned contributions! It's always good to have fellow coder churning out cards.

I appreciate it, Xander, and thank you for helping me out. I'll test it a little later and report back.

On another note, Xander, is there a list of all cards that are apart of your project so far?

You're welcome

And yes. There are two lists, though one isn't up to date because cards are added ever day and it requires me personally to manually edit it. That would be the second and third post of the Community Wad thread. viewtopic.php?f=109&t=15783#p164662

The other is a lot less friendly, but is much more up to date because it's produced automatically every day. That would be this file here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-cZn ... authuser=0

That will have every card that was there when the wad was last packed (and it's packed about once every 24 hours). It will only be missing the cards added within the last day or less.

[Chakan]

Alright, thanks for giving the link to that list, Xander. I'll scope over it to see what cards I would be wasting time converting/finishing now.

And Tejahn, I'm not so much of a coder per se, but I do my best. Originally, I was just doing these cards for myself and my girlfriend, but then I got to thinking how much I liked having new cards to drop into decks and see how they work, and if I could do that for another Magic player, that's a pretty good feeling. I'll try to keep having the cards flow the best I can.

Also, Xander, do you have a preference on how big the artwork should be? I won't lie, I often use absurdly large artwork for most of the cards I make, I just like the extra definition, but if you have a preference in art size, I'll do some reformatting.

[Tejahn]

I'll see about coding it for you tomorrow if you've not finished it by then. And I agree. I think DOTP is a great simulator.

[Xander9009]

Actually, the community wad already has all art except dragons of Tarkir. It was one of the things I focused on before releasing it. So, the art will probably end up not being used.

However, if yours is better, feel free to send the originals. I'm planning to do some tests and see exactly how large the art should be to get the best results in-gamr without adding extra bloat. I say the originals because I have a tool to automatically resize it to whatever dimensions I need and convert it to tdx.

[Chakan]

Ah, OK, you just want me to upload the .XML files then and that'll be it? I scourged the internet (meaning I did a Google search) for high resolution artwork for most of the cards I converted, so if you want me to upload them too I will.

[Xander9009]

Ah, OK, you just want me to upload the .XML files then and that'll be it? I scourged the internet (meaning I did a Google search) for high resolution artwork for most of the cards I converted, so if you want me to upload them too I will.

Go ahead and upload both. If the art is better, then I'll want to include it. It's just that for most cards that have high quality art, Kithkin is likely to have already provided it or I already have it from MTGImage.com But if there are any new ones, then that'll be a big help.

[Chakan]

Will do. About Sadistic Sacrament... That code didn't seem to work. When I cast it, all it did was go to the graveyard, but I'll keep looking it over and see how I can fix it.

[Chakan]

One last shameless bump. Just wanted to let everyone know that I submitted the cards I converted to Xander and they should be included with the Community WAD project soon. Hope everyone enjoys the new cards! Check out my first post to see the list of cards that should be included in the next release.

i see you got Hivestone
could you possibly make
