A much better a way, and one which is ready to be imolemented once someone decides to undertake the tedium, is to register the cards with protection in a way that their protection filters can be called up by other cards. However, that's only ready to be done and has not yet actually been done.

Ok, how I can help?

With the all cards files in one folder, maybe is not too tedious open a group of them with notepad++ and use find and add after in whole the opened files checked.

[Xander9009]

All of the required files have been added to the CW. The only two cards in the CW that use the functions are Mirrorwing Dragon and Black Ward. Mirrorwing Dragon doesn't have any code that needs to be distributed, but Black Ward does. It's got a function it calls in place of the normal protection function, and that will need to be distributed in addition to the triggered ability it has for the beginning of the game. There's also an ability that creates a manager token, and that ability will also need to be distributed. Note that they're kept separate intentionally. They cannot be in the same ability or the game will bug out and only run whichever one is in the first RTA.

Black Ward has this line: "CW_Protection(oParent, EffectSource())". Both parameters can be empty on any card that grants itself protection, though having both is, of course, easier to read. But "CW_Protection()" is perfectly valid for a card like Abbey Gargoyles.

There are lots of cards that have protection (283). For basically all of them, the same idea should work: Add in the two new abilities. Replace "MTG():Protection()" with "CW_Protection()". Translate its protection filter into a screen for the start-of-game triggered ability.

You'll also see that Black Ward doesn't add the line that excludes Black Ward from its own protection filter. That's because the way the screens work, you can't add pointers. That's because cards with the same name will access the same screen. So any card that has something in its protection filter that would differ from the protection filter of another card with the same name can't be handled properly. However, in the case of enchantments that simply don't remove themselves, like Black Ward, this won't affect other things trying to determine blocking/targeting restrictions, so it won't matter in the vast majority of all cases.

If you decide to give it a go, then take note of which cards you do, and I'll make a thread to track the progress.

Let me know if you need any help. If it's something minor, you can try the Discord.

You can show a complete example step by step?

You mention about 283 cards detected, you have a zip of them?

Sorry for the delay; I was rather busy yesterday. I can definitely do a few pictures to show the process step by step, but that'll have to wait until I'm off for the day. In the meantime, here's a text version.

That right there is the original Black Ward. In order to update it, it needs these things done.

oParent:Protection() -> CW_Protection(oParent, EffectSource()) - If both parameters are EffectSource(), they can both be omitted. That's up to you. The first parameter, oParent in this case, needs to be the card that is given protection. It'll always be the card that Protection() is actually called on. So, "oTarget:Protection()" -> "CW_Protection(oTarget...)". The second parameter is always the source of the protection, which should always be EffectSource().

Code: Select all

      <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="6">
         local oParent = EffectSource() and EffectSource():GetParent()
         if oParent ~= nil then
            local oFilter = ClearFilter()
            oFilter:Add(FE_COLOUR, OP_IS, COLOUR_BLACK)
            oFilter:Add(FE_CARD_INSTANCE, OP_NOT, EffectSource())
            CW_Protection(oParent, EffectSource())
         end
      </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>

Now, we need to rewrite the filter in a beginning-of-game triggered ability that can be recalled later. I wrote the Screen functions exactly for this purpose. You'll need to copy the ability from Black Ward that has the CW_Screen_Add functions. Copy the current card's normal filter down into it, and then alter it as follows. "oFilter:Add(...)" and all other filter functions need to be replaced like this: the filter itself becomes the first parameter, the function ("Add" in this case) needs "CW_Screen_" added to its beginning, and its original parameters need to be put into an array as the second parameter. So:

• Filter becomes first parameter: "oFilter:Add(...)" -> "Add(oFilter, ...)"
• Add "CW_Screen_" to the function name: "Add(oFilter, ...)" -> "CW_Screen_Add(oFilter, ...)"
• The original parameters are made into an array: "CW_Screen_Add(oFilter, ...)" -> "CW_Screen_Add(oFilter, {...})"

So, we go from having just the normal filter:

Next, remove references to pointers. It does not properly handle pointers, and since nearly all pointers are to the card granting protection (like Black Ward does, it provides a pointer to itself and the protection ability ignores that particular card), you remove simply remove those lines.

I don't have a zip file containing the cards. I got the number from searching in RiiakShiNal's Deck Builder for "protection".

[nachonal986]

Ok, thanks for the explanation, I have a few question:

- What about cards with more than one protection?

- It's ok if I send you the codes in txt by pm?

-----------------------

It's ok this way?

If they have multiple protections, then just tell me what they are. I'll need to look at them and figure out how to get them working properly.

I'd prefer not to have them PMed to me individually, but if you mean sending me all of the ones you end up doing all at once by PM, that's fine. If you mean one by one, I'd upload them here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/fold ... DBHRlNnZEU

The above code looks good with one exception. "CW_Protection(oParent, EffectSource())" should be "CW_Protection(EffectSource(), EffectSource())". The card that is granted protection here is the Source card itself, not its parent. Parent is used for auras and equipment. This is just itself. And keep in mind that "CW_Protection()" is identical to "CW_Protection(EffectSource(), EffectSource())", so you could also just use that in this case.

Everything else looks right.

Bug report:

Hashep Oasis doen't work well with mana tapping, the PC always use it by default even when I have enough other lands which I would like to use.

Rishkar, Peema Renegade doen't work well with mana tapping, I had it with a counter and another creature with counter in play and the PC doesn't let me choose Rishkar, Peema Renegade as mana (It forced me to use the other creature)

@Nachonal: I didn't notice your code was for Crimson Acolyte. That does grant protection to another card. I'll need to test what the line should be, but I think CW_Protection(EffectSource(), Object()) might work. The first one needs to be the card being protected, which would be the card this ability actually appears on in-game (the card that Crimson Acolyte adds "Protection from red" onto). The second should be the acolyte itself (I.e. the card doing the protecting), which will either need to be Object() or will need a LinkedDC pointer. I'll look into this and get back to you. My previous message would apply if the card was Abbey Gargoyles, something that grants itself protection. Sorry for the confusion.

@erjerjerj: I'll check into the bugs when I get the chance.

no problem dude, I'll focus on card only with protection for now. My only problem or doubt is how send you the codes, because if are separately into txt files, with all the card code is enough easy for you?

[erjerjerj]

Three more bugs:

1. I had 2 lands and Channeler Initiate (with -1/-1 counters on it) on the battlefield.
I wanted to cast a 3 mana spell, and the PC marked the Channeler Initiate as part of the mana cost. After casting the spell, the two lands became tapped, while Channeler Initiate remained untapped - this bug means that Channeler Initiate can be used as infinite sources for one mana cost spells.

2. I had Rhonas the Indomitable and a 3/3 on the battlefield.
I used Rhonas the Indomitable ability to make the other creature a 5/3, but Rhonas the Indomitable didn't become a creature.

3. Sandwurm Convergence triggers on both end steps.

Bug report: Autumn's Veil doesn't have any code in the file. Perhaps it did at one time and was deleted?

[nivmizzet1]

Jace, Telepath Unbound second ability has an interaction problem with Archive Trap. I activated the ability choosing Archive Trap, then played path to exile (and the opponent chose to search for a land), but I couldn't play Archive Trap for 0 (although it had the text saying "play card"). I'm not sure if Jace's ability just doesn't work for any cards, or maybe it's an Archive Trap problem that will be the same with e.g. any cards that can give it flashback.

so disappointing because it was going to be such an wesome play for the win.

[nivmizzet1]

I noticed this card when I was snooping around in the loose files wad: UTOPIA_MYCON_CW_130616 (1).xml

I think there should just be this card: UTOPIA_MYCON_MM_CW_130616.xml


EDIT: also, I tried applying a manual autoskip function to this and some other fungus cards, in an attempt to skip the resolution time for the spore counter trigger if it's triggered for any creatures a total of 3 times that turn. Instead, I got something unexpected -- it autoskips the cards that resolve first and then the last three have resolution time; I assume the trigger activation goes one direction, then they resolve in the reverse direction, or something, I don't really know. However, sometimes some autoskip, and then many more than 3 (e.g. up to 10 or more) still do the resolution time. If anybody can have a look at it and try to fix it, that would be much appreciated.

[Xander9009]

Yes, it should be renamed, and I'll go ahead and do that now.

And yes, they're all added to the stack, then they resolve off of the stack in reverse order. I've got tomorrow off. I've got several things to do tomorrow, but I will definitely add it to my list.
