Seems that the function has "vanished" from the CW releases lately. Looking into this...

...Or the function is CW_Exile_ExileCardFaceDown() actually nowadays. <-- Is this intentional or misnaming?

E.g. Necropotence uses that function as well and has the same issue now. Some other exile function in CW_EXILE.LOL seem to have multiple "exile" words in them too.

Oh, dang it. I thought I caught all of those. I changed the name of the function so there is a standard naming convention. "CW_Exile" is the name of the function file containing the function and "ExileCardFaceDown" is the name of the function itself. I put them together into the name of every function to avoid any possibility of interference. With so many different people working on things in the same file, I wanted to avoid us getting in each others' way. This way, others can make CW functions and not worry about interfering with any functions others have made. (As long as they remember to update the CW_Constants.lol file.) It appears you didn't update the function call in the card itself, so I went ahead and did that. Thanks for catching that.

EDIT: Found a few others. However, I ran a scan of every card for that function and corrected all instances. Hopefully the issue will be fixed in the next wad pack.

Ok. 8 of them altogether I think.

I'v having a problem with the 'Convert Cards' tool. When I used it today, it throws all of the card into the 'Cards with problems' folder. Has anything changed within the last 4 days that would be causing that?

Cards with Problems is only actually used for cards with a messed up MultiverseID. Gatherer was down for maintenance. Maybe that was your problem. I haven't changed the file in the GD folder (though I did edit my local copy today).

I found a way to setup the auto-syncer incorrectly. When I try to run the file now I do not get any prompts. Can you provide some information on manually setting up the configuration file?

I also managed to post this in the wrong thread. My bad.

Well, if you just want to try doing it correctly, then just delete the ini file that it made and run it again. If the ini file is missing, it'll ask about the paths.

If you want to do it manually, open the ini file and you should find something like this

Code: Select all

[Settings]
Debug=
Log=
GoogleDriveCoreFolder=
GoogleDriveArtFolder=
GameFolder=
SyncCore=
SyncArt=
CheckDelay=


Each of those may or may not have text after them if it was done incorrectly (they should, and it shouldn't be possible they don't, but it doesn't matter). Just erase each line after the = and replace it with the correct setting.
Debug and Log should be 0 to avoid logging and debug messages.
GoogleDriveCoreFolder should be one of two paths. If you're syncing loose files, it should be the Google Drive folder containing the HEADER.XML file. If you're syncing the packed wad, it should be the Google Drive folder containing the core wad.
GoogleDriveArtFolder is exactly the same as the art, but it will be title "Community Wad Art" on Google Drive. It will contain either the loose folders for the art wads or it will directly contain the art wads themselves depending on whether you're syncing loose or packed files.
GameFolder is the path to the folder containing the game exe.
SyncCore should be 0, 1, or 2. 0: Don't sync. 1: Sync packed. 2: Sync loose.
SyncArt: Same.
CheckDelay is the number of seconds to wait between checking if your game folder is up-to-date.

Working example. (This is mine and works on my computer. It won't work on yours unless your google drive and game folder are setup exactly like mine.)

Code: Select all

[Settings]
Debug=0
Log=0
GoogleDriveCoreFolder=C:\Google Drive\Community Wad Folders\Community Loose Files\Community Wad Core\DATA_DLC_COMMUNITY_CORE\DATA_DLC_COMMUNITY_CORE
GoogleDriveArtFolder=C:\Google Drive\Community Wad Folders\Community Wad\Community Wad Art
GameFolder=C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Magic 2014
SyncCore=2
SyncArt=1
CheckDelay=3600

Note that I have it set to sync packed art files but loose core files. No debugging or logging (this can be toggled by right-clicking the icon). It waits 1 hour between checks.

I have a few cards I'd like to get sorted out.

Magmaquake doesn't deal damage to planeswalkers.

Doubling Season only works with planeswalkers when they enter the battlefield, not when activating an ability.

Bonfire of the Damned -- doesn't play nice with manual mana (this would stand for all cards with miracle); could we implement something like the invisible upkeep token (it would need to activate after bonefire hits the hand, but before it checks for available mana)?


Does anybody know if the two problem interactions with planeswalkers can be circumvented?

I have just found a problem with Cruel Feeding - Using it's strive ability i targeted multiple (3) cards with heroic: Agent of the Fates, Akroan Crusader, and Satyr Hoplite.

Agent of the Fates had 2 enchantments on it: Soul Channeling and Eternal Thirst

You have not listed a problem.

There is no problem in targeting multiple creatures with heroic (the spell should just cost more for each additional target). The spell should have cost to cast since you had 2 addition targets at each plus the original cost of .

Because all 3 cards with heroic were targeted all 3 should have triggered. So each opponent should have sacrificed a creature, you should have gotten a 1/1 red Soldier with haste, Satyr Hoplite should have gotten a +1/+1 counter. Also due to the effects of Eternal Thirst Agent of the Fates should have gotten one +1/+1 counter for each creature that your opponent(s) had to sacrifice.

If one or more of the cards with heroic belonged to another player then their abilities should not have triggered (since their controller did not cast the spell).

Now if something did not happen properly then you might have a problem, but you have not yet described it (or anything like it).

I apologize. in my tired stupor i forgot to mention the game crashed after the spell would resolve. (the timer thing successfully filled and it crashed when the card should go to the graveyard.) The post earlier is the situation description. again i apologize.

Magmaquake may or may not be fixed. I'll test if I get a chance. It was targeting basic snow enchantments (an old hack for planeswalkers, I think).

For Doubling Season, look here: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/ ... seid=89116
Its last rule listing explains that the counters added for loyalty abilities are costs not effects, and Doubling Season only affects effects. Thus, this is correct. HOWEVER, if you mean it doesn't work with Ajani's ability that places a counter, then you'll have be more specific and mention that in particular, because that one should be doubled.

For Bonfire of the Damned, I've been thinking about that kind of situation. I noticed it with, I think it might have been Aleshe, Who Smiles at Death. And yeah, a token would probably do the trick. There's already an upkeep time manager. It would reasonable to remake that into a general time managing token which would activate during different parts of the turn and after certain events if you have certain cards in certain places.

In other words, yeah. Add Bonfire of the Damned as a required card in an or filter on the _MANAGER_UPKEEP_TIME token in a new ability which triggers upon drawing a card for the first time in a turn. See how that works out. (Don't forget to make Bonfire of the Damned spawn the manager token and to register it.)

doh

You were spot on about me meaning the adding of loyalty counters and not abilities that place counters. I wasn't aware of the rules so I was only going by what seemed logical.

I think I have Bonfire working. I didn't know how to incorporate this into the current upkeep time manager to make a general time manager, so I just made a new draw time manager.

Bonfire

To incorporate it and avoid having yet another manager that does the same thing as the first, just make a completely new triggered ability and don't mess with the one that's already there.

As for triggering multiple times, that's because you messed up on the line where you create the unique token. You put _MANAGER_UPKEEP_TIME_TIME. Because the name is wrong, the card makes a new manager every turn (it uses the name to check if you already have one, but with the wrong name, it always thinks you have none).
