Will be back tomorrow to continue coding missing cards.

Greener Pastures - Are you certain this works as intended? First thing I noticed is that it says 'if count > player_lands then' instead of 'if count >= player_lands then'. Second was that it checks each player from 0 up to Players-1. Never in there does it make sure player(i) isn't TriggerPlayer().

You need the '=' in case another player controls the exact same number. But as soon as you add the '=', it'll fail because when player(i) is TriggerPlayer(), they'll of course have the same number.

I'll take a look at it today. It performed as I expected it to in testing, but I'll have another look at it.

Question -- where do poison counters show up in DOTP 2014? I'm working on a card with "poisonous" and I'm not sure where to look on screen when I get to testing it.

Next to the player's image. It's a green icon, I think. You could always drop in an infect creature to make sure.

Next:

I have other commitments tomorrow, so it is likely I won't be back until Thursday. I might be able to squeeze in a few minutes here and there, but Thursday will most likely be my next lengthy coding session. I plan to continue with the missing cards at that time.

Just so you guys know, the wad will not update tonight. I'll update it in the morning.

So, after lots of testing a couple of night sago, I managed to get a listing of webpages to automatically be created based on the current decks available. Before the CW, I'd never delved into the world of Google's App Scripts, so I didn't have any idea how they worked or what they could do. But it turns out that Google Sites is one of their apps that does have their scripts service available, and I poked around a bit to see if I could make it work.

Through some coding on my computer to unpack each deck and collect information about it, and then some coding on Google Sties, I managed to make a webpage for each user that had decks submitted such that each user's page could contain an up-to-date list of their decks (including download links, decklists, images for each card, and the stats you grant it that show up as stars in-game). All with one additional link per user for their individual content pack enabler.

Originally, the decks were being shown in spoilers, which worked really well (except that you sometimes have to refresh after all of the images are loaded for the spoilers to collapse everything). However, because of some issues with "SetHTMLContent()" (my only option for changing the webpage via scripting), the spoilers aren't an option. The contents of the spoilers (and in fact the spoiler-code itself) is simply lost. So, next option: create a page per deck and have each user's page link to their decks. The users could show up in the side-bar, but the have the decks only show up as links on the users' pages, and the result should be a pretty simple but complete way to browse the CW's decks. It's not currently actually on the CW website, though. It's on my test site for the moment.

Some things still need addressed.
1: The download links haven't been dealt with but should be simple (since they're being dealt with from a Google Apps environment, which makes it easy to get their download link; something I struggled to figure out for a LONG time originally).
2: TFM's decks aren't working at all yet. They're a) missing their TEXT_PERMANENT folders and b) their filenames don't match the deck's xml filenames, so the script currently skips these decks.
3: Several decks that I thought were included in the CW Decks folder are apparently not currently included. I'll need to get all of those dealt with, e.g. sumomole, RiiakShiNal. (I'll recheck that I was supposed to upload their decks, but I'm pretty certain the answer is yes.)

This will not happen today, since I'm going to be babysitting for my sister, and I'm doing so in a place with no internet. But it'll be either tonight (unlikely) or tomorrow (extremely likely). If anyone has any particular thoughts, please let me know.

Xander will be able to check for you but did you convert the images to .tdx format? Also, the name has to be exact, so Nissa would have underscores instead of spaces, no comma, and all caps. If you open the card .XML, it will show the exact name in the artid area.

Actually, I uploaded .tdx files and copied the names from their ArtIDs.

I also attach them to this message

Those files look correct. Xander will be able to check the .wad and the Google drive when he's back online. He is away from the Internet today, but I'm sure he'll get back to you when he can.

Questions/Notes:

-- CW_CARD_QUERY was also updated.

-- Is there are way to turn off the "swirl" effect above a card when it is activated? I have a few cards I'm using for testing and would rather not wait through the animation.

-- If anyone else is working on cards in the missing cards list, please post your work in this thread so we can avoid duplication of effort.

-- Xander on your deck website ... are you indicating whether a "personality" is being used in the decks? I like to play 2HG with random decks all around. One of the things that I find annoying is that when I play against a deck with a "personality", I can't look up that deck later and see which one it was. Often, I want to look it up because I have discovered that it is a bad deck for the AI to attempt to play or maybe because I want to play that deck. I started altering some of my decks to include the personality name with the deck name in parenthesis. These are just for my use, of course, but if your site includes that information, I could just search for the personality used. (Part of this is a problem because I do have hundreds of decks installed).


Next:

Back on Thursday for more coding of missing cards.

EDIT TO ADD:
The following were missing or broken art, I have uploaded it in HQ:
Guul Draz Assassin
Insatiable Gorgers
Markov Crusader
Selfless Spirit

Unfortunately, no. Auto-skips are only for entire abilities.

Bummer. I guess I'll need to remove the auto-skip then, or at least modify it with the new knowledge of how it'll work. Or would there be a way to split the triggered ability into two abilities (the multiple choice question and then the card draw ability) by using a chest or something so the auto-skip can just be applied to the card draw part?

[fallenangle]

Splinterverse,

I'm guessing that by "swirl effect," you mean the clear "ring" above the cards when an ability is activated. If that's the case, then there is a way to deactivate it. For triggered abilities, you need to put replacement_effect="1" in the TRIGGERED_ABILITY tag. For activated abilities, you need to put forced_skip="1" inside the ACTIVATED_ABILITY tag. You put this in the first tag; e.g., <TRIGGERED_ABILITY replacement_effect="1">, but NOT </TRIGGERED_ABILITY replacement_effect="1">.

I hope that helps.
