Posted: 19 Oct 2013, 19:49Lol, ok now i look stupid.. i reread the instructions... I honestly had no clue what was involvedI 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.

Posted: 19 Oct 2013, 20:13No, 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.drleg3nd wrote:put this under original code or replace it ?
Posted: 20 Oct 2013, 04:50well this is embarrassing... that deck was a request i made a few months ago that i decided to try my own hand at programming.Kieran wrote:All of those cards, except Norn's Annex, can be found in the Deck Request thread here: Phyrexian Rage.thepiebaker wrote:I'm formally requesting these four cards:
Golem's Heart
Rage Extractor
Norn's Annex
Warstorm Surge
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.

There's a couple already:thepiebaker wrote: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?

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 wrote:- 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 wrote:Clockspinning
Posted: 20 Oct 2013, 12:49You 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.jacque wrote:I thought it would be something like what I did with Aether Snap, the counters thingie...
Rift Elemental doesn't target the suspended cards.jacque wrote:as for the targetting cards in exile... hmmm was toying the idea with the Rift Elemental you made...
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:jacque wrote:*don't really know the indexes thingie tho...*

Posted: 20 Oct 2013, 12:55Posted: 20 Oct 2013, 12:58I discussed that matter with sumomole in the Theros cards thread, and he came up with this idea: viewtopic.php?f=109&t=11681&start=15#p131352 but the cards with scry need to be coded so that they support Flamespeaker Adept.drleg3nd wrote:how do i code "whenever you scry " ? i'm trying to make Flamespeaker Adept but no idea how to implement this
Posted: 20 Oct 2013, 13:40thx TFM, was looking at post so is this the scry code you are referring too ?thefiremind wrote:I discussed that matter with sumomole in the Theros cards thread, and he came up with this idea: viewtopic.php?f=109&t=11681&start=15#p131352 but the cards with scry need to be coded so that they support Flamespeaker Adept.drleg3nd wrote:how do i code "whenever you scry " ? i'm trying to make Flamespeaker Adept but no idea how to implement this
The good news is that I was already aware of his idea when I coded the scry mechanic in my mod, so if you use my scry functions, this Flamespeaker Adept will work:
- Flamespeaker Adept (tested, needs my mod and needs scry cards to be coded using my scry functions) | Open
Posted: 20 Oct 2013, 14:52No, 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.drleg3nd wrote:thx TFM, was looking at post so is this the scry code you are referring too ?
Posted: 20 Oct 2013, 15:01Actually, you can get a menu that would look something like this for the player to choose a counter type:thefiremind wrote:Have you ever wondered what GetCountersType and GetBestOrWorstCounterType return?

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:jacque wrote:*don't really know the indexes thingie tho...*You have 50% chance to hit the counter you really wish to choose, good luck.

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.
Originally posted here.RiiakShiNal wrote: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.
