Formal Request Thread

[sumomole]

Edit - I don't know if its possible but for lands you might be able to use the PutOntoBattlefield() function then find someway to trick the game into thinking that was your land drop for the turn.

I thought about that, but I have no idea about how to make it count as land drop.

I used Gather Specimens 's code, I'm not sure if there are problems.

I can't see what's complicated in opening Notepad, copying and pasting a card's code, then saving it as XML with UTF-8 encoding and same name as the FILENAME written in the code. If you want to make things even easier, make a copy of another card's file, so you already have a file with XML extension and UTF-8 encoding: after that, all you need to do is rename it and change its contents.

Lol, ok now i look stupid.. i reread the instructions... I honestly had no clue what was involved

No, this's my card, I don't know how firemind's is, but I guess it should be similar, following is my code, you can compare them.

[thepiebaker]

I'm formally requesting these four cards:
Golem's Heart
Rage Extractor
Norn's Annex
Warstorm Surge

All of those cards, except Norn's Annex, can be found in the Deck Request thread here: Phyrexian Rage.

I can make Norn's Annex using Ghostly Prison if you really need it but Ghostly Prison is already so broken I can just image how God Mode you would become if opponents had to pay life. Let me know if you really want Norn's Annex and I'll try.

well this is embarrassing... that deck was a request i made a few months ago that i decided to try my own hand at programming.

yeah id really appreciate norns annex mostly because it runs on the phyrexian mana which is what the deck is primarily focused on.


on a separate note, is it possible to program custom creature types? I am attempting to create some cross-over decks that would require that. also would you guys say that it'd be accepting here if i posted a thread dedicated to these decks since non of the cards in them will be official mtg cards?

[thefiremind]

on a separate note, is it possible to program custom creature types?

Start from here:
viewtopic.php?f=109&t=11681&p=131467#p131467
Remember that 2 mods with different creature types on the same line of CREATURE_TYPES.TXT will be incompatible.

also would you guys say that it'd be accepting here if i posted a thread dedicated to these decks since non of the cards in them will be official mtg cards?

There's a couple already:
viewtopic.php?f=71&t=11031
viewtopic.php?f=109&t=11725
so why not?
(Using the Custom Releases section would be recommended, but nobody will throw stones at you if you think that the 2014 section gives you more visibility. )

[jacque]

Can I request for these two cards?
- Arcane Denial
- Circular Logic

Thanks yea... *my brains not working lately* =(

[thefiremind]

- Quest for Ula's Temple

This is in my mod.

- Clockspinning

I don't think that Clockspinning is possible: how do you choose a specific counter? Keeping track of the counter types on permanents is possible, but then you would have a bunch of numerical indexes that can't be matched to their names. Not to mention that you can't properly target cards in exile.

[jacque]

Quest for Ula's Temple

Weeeeee... =)

Clockspinning

I thought it would be something like what I did with Aether Snap, the counters thingie... as for the targetting cards in exile... hmmm was toying the idea with the Rift Elemental you made... hmmm... *don't really know the indexes thingie tho...*

[thefiremind]

I thought it would be something like what I did with Aether Snap, the counters thingie...

You don't need to choose a counter for AEther Snap, you just remove them all. Same for Vorel of the Hull Clade and Gilder Bairn, which double them all.

as for the targetting cards in exile... hmmm was toying the idea with the Rift Elemental you made...

Rift Elemental doesn't target the suspended cards.

*don't really know the indexes thingie tho...*

Have you ever wondered what GetCountersType and GetBestOrWorstCounterType return? It's a number, you can check it by yourself with a DisplayMessage. When you declare a counter type for the first time, a unique number is assigned to it, and during different duels it's different for the same counter types. Once you have that number, do you know how to get back to the counter name? There's no way. So if you have a creature with a +1/+1 counter and a divinity counter, for example, the best Clockspinning query you could do would be something like:

Code: Select all

---- Choose a counter. ----
|     [  -1374896  ]      |
|     [   4574587  ]      |
---------------------------

You have 50% chance to hit the counter you really wish to choose, good luck.

thx TFM, was looking at post so is this the scry code you are referring too ?

Scry | Open

Code: Select all

S_ScryFateseal = function(index, player)
  if player == nil then
    return false
  end
  local n = MTG():GetActionRepCount()
  local parity = n % 2
  local effectController = EffectController()
  if parity == 0 then
    local filter = ClearFilter()
    filter:SetZone( ZONE_LIBRARY, player )
    if n == 0 then
      local scry_count = filter:CountStopAt(index)
      EffectDC():Set_Int(2, scry_count)
      filter:SetPortion( scry_count )
      effectController:SetItemCount( scry_count )
      for i = 0, (scry_count-1) do
         effectController:SetItemPrompt( i, "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CARD_TO_PUT_ON_BOTTOM_LIBRARY" )
      end       
      effectController:ChooseItems( EffectDC():Make_Targets(100+n/2), QUERY_FLAG_UP_TO )
    else
      local scry_count = EffectDC():Get_Int(2)
      if scry_count > 0 then
        filter:SetPortion( scry_count )
        effectController:SetItemCount( scry_count )
         for i = 0, (scry_count-1) do
           effectController:SetItemPrompt( i, "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CARD_TO_PUT_ONTO_LIBRARY" )
         end
         effectController:ChooseItems( EffectDC():Make_Targets(100+n/2) )
      end
    end
    return true
  else
    local scry_count = EffectDC():Get_Int(2)
    if scry_count > 0 then
      for i = 0, (scry_count-1) do
        local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(100+n/2):Get_CardPtr(i)
        if target ~= nil then
          if n == 1 then
             target:PutOnBottomOfLibrary()
             scry_count = scry_count - 1
          else
             target:PutOnTopOfLibrary()
          end
        end
       end
    end
    if n == 3 or scry_count < 2 then
      effectController:PlayerDataChest():Int_Inc( -2626 )
       return false
    else
      EffectDC():Set_Int(2, scry_count)
       return true
    end
  end
end

if so, what number need to be changed to fix scry count ?

No, that's sumomole's. My code can be found on my copies of Mystic Speculation and Cryptic Annelid, and the only parameter (on Resolution1) is the scry count.

*don't really know the indexes thingie tho...*

Have you ever wondered what GetCountersType and GetBestOrWorstCounterType return? It's a number, you can check it by yourself with a DisplayMessage. When you declare a counter type for the first time, a unique number is assigned to it, and during different duels it's different for the same counter types. Once you have that number, do you know how to get back to the counter name? There's no way. So if you have a creature with a +1/+1 counter and a divinity counter, for example, the best Clockspinning query you could do would be something like:

Code: Select all

---- Choose a counter. ----
|     [  -1374896  ]      |
|     [   4574587  ]      |
---------------------------

You have 50% chance to hit the counter you really wish to choose, good luck.

Actually, you can get a menu that would look something like this for the player to choose a counter type:

Code: Select all

---- Choose a counter. ----
|     [   +1/+1    ]      |
|     [  Divinity  ]      |
---------------------------

However, making the menu is fairly difficult. You would need to give each counter type a specific index in a data chest for example you set +1/+1 counters to index 0, -1/-1 to index 1, ..., Divinity to index 13, .... Then you get the numeric value for each of those types and put those values in the appropriate indexes PlusOnePlusOneCounters() to index 0, MinusOneMinusOneCounters() to index 1, ..., GetCountersType("Divinity") to index 13, then when building the multiple choice menu to the user you choose menu items based on whether or not the card has the counter type that is present in the data chest index for that name. Example:

Code: Select all

player:BeginNewMultipleChoice()
if (oCard:CountCounters( oCounterDC:Int_Get( 0 ) ) > 0) then
  player:AddMultipleChoiceAnswer( "COUNTER_PLUS1PLUS1" )
end
if (oCard:CountCounters( oCounterDC:Int_Get( 1 ) ) > 0) then
  player:AddMultipleChoiceAnswer( "COUNTER_MINUS1MINUS1" )
end
...
if (oCard:CountCounters( oCounterDC:Int_Get( 13 ) ) > 0) then
  player:AddMultipleChoiceAnswer( "COUNTER_DIVINITY" )
end
...
player:AskMultipleChoiceQuestion("CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_COUNTER_TYPE", EffectSource())

Obviously this is fairly difficult to do right (especially if you have more than 7 counter types on a single card because then you would have to worry about paging the question), but it is possible to choose a counter type (this is really what should be done for Proliferate rather than basing it off of counter type weightings).

The actual indices chosen for each type doesn't really matter as long as they are consistent across the entirety of choosing a counter type.

on a separate note, is it possible to program custom creature types?

Start from here:
viewtopic.php?f=109&t=11681&p=131467#p131467
Remember that 2 mods with different creature types on the same line of CREATURE_TYPES.TXT will be incompatible.

Also I have an idea that can make mods with different CREATURE_TYPES.TXT specs compatible (though I haven't had any feedback on what people think about it):

Though this does give me an idea for another enhancement to the Deck Builder:

• The ability to merge spec files and generate a new LOL file with updated constants for those sub-types.

Though there are a couple of issues with that either modders would need to use a naming standard for sub-type constants (which the Deck Builder would follow when merging specs) or would need to create a file with information about the sub-type which the Deck Builder would then parse and process (think an XML file that would define the sub-type and the desired constant to use for it).

Also the Deck Builder would have to generate one or more extra constant(s) so that modders can determine how many sub-types are actually present. This could include something like _CREATURE_TYPE_COUNT which just says how many types are defined or could even generate constants like CREATURE_TYPE_FIRST and CREATURE_TYPE_LAST which would be the values of the first (1000) and last creature respectfully. It would be necessary to use constants in code for sub-types (which I think most modders already do) as the actual values of added types could vary depending on which mod would be scanned first for added types.

Granted if this feature is added and modders make use of it, regular users would need to also get the Deck Builder and run it to actually "Merge Specs" so that sub-types from the mods they have would get updated into a single spot and set with high priority to make sure it is used above all others.
