Formal Request Thread

[braquio]

Like sweetLU said u dont need create a Core WAD. If u have the .xml in the correct folder u have to view the card in Deck Editor, don't forget refresh the editor after copy .xml files to see changes, in Tools-> Reresh Data, or closing and come in again.
Folders are,
For Cards(.xml): ...\DATA_DLC_DECK_BUILDER_CUSTOM\DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS\CARDS
For images(.tdx): ...\DATA_DLC_DECK_BUILDER_CUSTOM\DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS\ART_ASSETS\ILLUSTRATIONS

And if u still having problems u can download my DLC, it include cards you want and much more:

I've been trying to code a "player only" version of Launch the Fleet, but the XML Validator I use keeps saying there's an error in line 49. I can't seem to find where I've gone awry. Would anyone mind taking a look at my code and pointing out how I might fix it? Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Hi i just made an approximation for the card you tried to code :

Hey guys,

So I re-tried it and it seemed to work perfectly. I must have been doing something wrong last night, but hey, it was late and I was tired....haha! Quick question, is there any benefit to exporting it to a WAD, or is that just so that you can share your list of cards with other people?

Thanks, again guys! I'm soooo looking forward to building my dream deck.

Exporting to WAD is primarily for sharing decks though it does also compress the WAD so it takes up less space. If you are going to play online using mods with a friend then you will want to use WADs as directories can throw off the game when trying to play online.

If you are just keeping your decks locally and not playing online or you plan on modifying decks then exporting to Directory is usually the better choice as it allows for quick manual access to the files for minor adjustments.

Both methods of exporting work with the game, it's just how you work with the game as to which exporting method you will make more use of.

Using modes is not correct because you should choose what kind of protection you want during resolution (when almost everything that is not choosing targets happens). I found this implementation made by kevlahnota:

My "dream" was to just expand the card pool in DotP2014 as well (the sealed play pool, of course), but we all know what kinds of limitations it proved to have, so the idea had to be quickly thrown away. We'll see what happens.

I'm new here, so may be someone test it before, but card pool can be expanded if you modificate the D14_SEALED_POOL.XML, is in DATA_DECKS_D14.WAD
"\DATA_DECKS_D14\DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS\DECKS"
there is a list of 150 cards, and i try to include more cards and works well.
The problem is that opponent has always same decks, but could be changed too in the same directory are all the sealed decks.

[thefiremind]

i try to include more cards and works well.

Really? I can't remember if I ever tried to add cards, but I remember trying to change existing cards and there was a sort of check that allowed to change only rares with rares, commons with commons, and so on. And I'm pretty sure there must be a limit somewhere because the profile wouldn't handle arbitrarily large pool IDs.

i try to include more cards and works well.

Really? I can't remember if I ever tried to add cards, but I remember trying to change existing cards and there was a sort of check that allowed to change only rares with rares, commons with commons, and so on. And I'm pretty sure there must be a limit somewhere because the profile wouldn't handle arbitrarily large pool IDs.

I didn't see any limitation, i tried changing all cards on Sealed Deck Pool, by all cards from Theros DLC(with 230 cards more or less) and works perfectly.
I'll go to edit sealed opponents decks with preconstructed decks from Theros to have a complete "Sealed Campaign from Theros"

P.D: Only one thing, i dont know why but my sealed decks are cleared each time i restart the game, this is normal?
EDIT: This fails happens me before i start changing the sealed pool.

I've been trying to code Time Vault, and everything is working as I would hope except the activated ability to untap it. Can anyone show me what I would need to do to ensure that it can only be used when the artifact is tapped?

The ability you are trying to code isn't activated, but triggered. Magic rules state that activated abilities are always in the form of "cost : effect", which is not the case here. The words "if" / "when" / "whenever" start a triggered ability, and you should check if the artifact is tapped inside the trigger condition. The problem is that I have never seen a triggered ability like "If you would begin your turn...", so I don't know for sure how to handle it. Even by making it a pre-trigger I'm afraid it would be too late for the delayed trigger to make you skip the whole turn.

Only one thing, i dont know why but my sealed decks are cleared each time i restart the game, this is normal?

I think this was one of the bad consequences of editing the sealed pool.

Edit -

[fallenangle]

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. I tried what SweetLu said and it automatically untapped the Time Vault and skipped my turn without asking me anything. Is there something missing in the query? If querying at the beginning of the turn doesn't work, could we try querying during the opponent's end step? What might that look like?

Edit: Tried this after some borrowings from Mana Vault, and it gave me the query prior to my untap phase, during my upkeep, and during my draw phase. It never untapped when I selected "Yes," however. Does anyone have any idea how I might fix it? Thanks in advance for all of your help and advice.
