MAGIC DUELS - CARD REQUEST THREAD

[Tejahn]

...In case you want to look at it:...

EDIT: It works now! I also made some improvements here and there so that the "internal" abilities don't trigger if it's not necessary, and used GetGlobalIndex as Xander9009 suggested...

...@Tejahn: I can do that if you want, but that will mean that I'll have to use one or more LOL files and you'll have to include them in your ZED.

I've been travelling the past couple of days so I've not had a chance to reply until now. But first, let me say thanks for the time and effort that's being put into making the cards work. Also, TFM, I'm okay with including LOL files. Especially if they help to make cards fully functional.

...EDIT: @Tejahn: I made 4 more cards: Dark Petition, Deadly Tempest, Malicious Affliction, Psychic Intrusion...

...Malicious Affliction: there's no official DERIVED_INFO for Morbid and I was too lazy to write it myself, so you won't see any [Creatures died this turn: x] information...

I'll add the derived info. Thank you kindly for the cards. I just downloaded them and will test them all today when I test Briarbridge Patrol. As always, I'll report my testing results in the Magic Duels tests and results thread afterwards.

Here's my new version of Briarbridge Patrol, which should make the second ability work on copies of the card, too. I used external data chests, but by using strings as keys, I didn't need to make a LOL file. I also had a nice idea about how to make only one card keep count of the sacrifices.

As you can see, the card tries to access a pointer in the duel data chest. If it's nil, then the card registers itself in it. From that moment onwards, only the card registered into that pointer will be allowed to manipulate the counts inside the players' data chests. This approach has an advantage over the old one which filtered all cards with the same name and picked the first one: if we had a different card which needs the same count, we could easily make it concur to the same task without modifying the code on this card.

[Xander9009]

Here's my new version of Briarbridge Patrol, which should make the second ability work on copies of the card, too. I used external data chests, but by using strings as keys, I didn't need to make a LOL file. I also had a nice idea about how to make only one card keep count of the sacrifices.

I'm glad you got it working. I'm also amused that you came up with the same solution I did only a couple of days ago. I didn't think to mention it, but that's exactly how I solved it for 2014 as well, but for a different card. I'd noticed some issues on Serra Avenger and solved it using this exact method. I didn't think to apply it to Briarbridge Patrol, though. The issue, by the way, was that someone (maybe me by accident(?) but I don't think so) removed the filtering on the card so all instances of Serra Avenger were updating the turn count. I added in this solution and then went to check if your original version suffered the same issue, and discovered it had code that the CW version was missing. But I stuck with the code I'd made for this for the same reason you mentioned. (Which is slightly less relevant for Serra Avenger, since there are no other cards that count turns of which I'm aware.)

[Tejahn]

...@Tejahn: I made 4 more cards: Dark Petition, Deadly Tempest, Malicious Affliction, Psychic Intrusion...

The only card that doesn't work properly is Psychic Intrusion. The owner was able to cast the exiled card. All other cards work.

Just confirming that this work also. Thanks!

I'll keep checking the thread. Let me know when your tutorial is completed, as I'm eager to try my hand at coding.

a While back you mentioned that you were working on a tutorial mod and I know these take time since you said it'll be massive. But I want to ask you if you can release how you play against the decks in your screenshots. I'm still waiting on the big tutorial but I want to go ahead and get started playing against some championship decks

Well, now that thefiremind and Xander9009 have provided most of the cards needed for that portion of the tutorial I'll be glad to release that section of it. However, the following cards are still needed before I can do so:

Epiphany at the Drownyard - I tried coding this one a while back but so far I've not been successful. This is the last card I need to complete a zombie deck.

Inverter of Truth - I'll actually try coding this one today.

Mirror Match - I never tried to code this one.

Sin Prodder - I tried coding this one a while back but so far I've not been successful.

Traverse the Ulvenwald - I tried coding this one a while back but so far I've not been successful.

Wretched Confluence - I never tried to code this one.

Also, please remember that I am a humble hobbyist that can only mod in my free time. As you can see by looking at the screenshots above, I've already added updated art to the mod. Including Avatars and badges with different colors as well as a lot of good information. However, I'm having trouble making art fit perfectly in the Carousel Circles but I'm exploring different techniques to do so using Photoshop. When I have the above cards I'll post that part of the tutorial. Thanks for staying interested.

[thefiremind]

The only card that doesn't work properly is Psychic Intrusion. The owner was able to cast the exiled card.

I tried to prevent that in the same way I did on Daxos of Meletis so I'm afraid he suffers the same problem (and it never happened during our tests). Only the granted UTILITY_ABILITY should be forbidden for the owner to use, and not the whole card, so that we ensure compatibility with cards like Misthollow Griffin: if I added a condition on the CONSIDERED_FOR_CAST trigger, that would be no longer true. So, is there someone who knows why the following code doesn't work and how to fix it?

Code: Select all

    <AVAILABILITY>
    return EffectController() ~= EffectSource():GetOwner() -- This SHOULD stop the owner from being able to cast the card, but it doesn't
    </AVAILABILITY>

(EDIT: Maybe EffectSource should be replaced by Object inside an AVAILABILITY block?)

Epiphany at the Drownyard

I have never attempted this one because I didn't want to struggle finding a way to mimic the "two piles" that is convenient for the player and understandable for the AI. As Gatherer says, one of the 2 piles may also be empty.

Sin Prodder

It doesn't seem difficult, the principle is similar to Browbeat. I'll try this one first when I have time.

Wretched Confluence

I have only one idea to make this work and I'm not sure of it: replicate each mode 2 extra times, for a total of 9 options, and let the player choose 3. This way you could repeat the same mode 3 times if you choose all the options representing it. Is there someone who tested the maximum number of query options in Magic Duels?

EDIT: Here's my Sin Prodder, totally untested. Let me know if it works.

By the way, I noticed that the official cards never use INTRINSIC for menace. Does anyone have any idea why? I can't see any reason not to, so I used INTRINSIC for menace on this card.

Epiphany at the Drownyard
I have never attempted this one because I didn't want to struggle finding a way to mimic the "two piles" that is convenient for the player and understandable for the AI. As Gatherer says, one of the 2 piles may also be empty.

Indeed. I've also come the conclusion that we can just wait until (if) they add this mechanic in the future.

Wretched Confluence
I have only one idea to make this work and I'm not sure of it: replicate each mode 2 extra times, for a total of 9 options, and let the player choose 3. This way you could repeat the same mode 3 times if you choose all the options representing it. Is there someone who tested the maximum number of query options in Magic Duels?

I'll give it a try and let you know the results.

EDIT: Here's my Sin Prodder, totally untested. Let me know if it works.

I tested Sin Prodder and it didn't work properly.

I wondered the same thing and decided to use the 'INTRINSIC' method as well on Relentless Dead.

I tested Sin Prodder and it didn't work properly.

Could you be more specific? The code seems fine by looking at it, but I haven't had the time to test it myself. If I knew exactly what didn't work properly I might be able to fix it without testing it myself.

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

Here's Emrakul, the Promised End. I included the illustration as well, since I took the time to resize it properly and fill the parts that weren't included (I couldn't find an image that really covers the whole card art space).
As I wrote in the other topic, I'm deliberately ignoring the case of 2HG, since we can't play that mode against the AI in Duels.

Omg, you guys are doing an insanely good job! Where can I find a file with all of these cards? I would love to have the "old" planeswalkers.

[Tejahn]

The mod with the Planeswalkers has not been released yet but will be. I've been quietly working on the Tutorial DLC in the background since I returned from vacation. I've added the newer Planeswalkers as well. As I mentioned in another thread, I'll be creating a Tutorial DLC - Progress Report thread soon. I'm currently adding video tutorials to the tDLC. I'm hoping it can be an all-inclusive tutorial once input starts flowing in from the community.

[Nick26]

Can't wait for it You guys are doing an amazing job, I have been playing with emerge decks and the new emrakul a lot and it works flawlessly! I didn't think it was possible to code this card, thanks a lot spirolone! I was wondering, is it possible to code Karn Liberated ?

[thefiremind]

I fixed Sin Prodder in the original post. The only thing I haven't been able to do is to show the card while asking the question: since you can't normally see your opponent's deck, even by adding the card argument to the query it will stay invisible.

[Tejahn]

Thanks for the fix. As soon as I figure out how to get pass the 'Can't access store' screen I can start back modding. I was actually on track to releasing the tDLC October 15th but it seems we've run into another stumbling block. As soon as I can added cards again I'll restart work on the mod.

Hi everyone,
does anyone know if it is possible to code god cards in magic duels? I tried to import them from magic 2014 but they don't work, they are always creatures (regardless of devotion), and for some reason Keranos main ability does not work (nothing triggers).

You can't import them as they are because since DotP2015, layer 4 has been split into 4A and 4B, one for adding types and the other for adding sub-types. Also, there's no need for custom devotion functions anymore because there's an official one. If you download my test ZED contents from the other topic you'll find Ephara, God of the Polis already coded: the devotion-related ability can be copied to any other god card just by changing the colors.
I don't know why Keranos doesn't trigger, I should look at its code.
