Vintage Masters mod

[Agetian]

Here's my take on implementing an edition file for Vintage Masters. It's largely similar to Fizanko's version here: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=14184&p=169860&hilit=+vintage+masters+#p168473 but has the following changes:

* Changed the distribution of cards in the boosters to 11 commons, 3 uncommons, 1 rare/mythic and set the foil chance in booster to 100%, similar to MMA (Modern Masters). This seems to better approximate the description of a VMA booster as containing 10 commons, 3 uncommons, 1 rare/mythic + 1 premium foil card of any rarity (which will replace the 11th card distributed by Forge to the common slot).
* Fixed the name of AEther Mutation which would not have been recognized by Forge otherwise.
* Added Volrath's Shapeshifter to the edition file (even though it's not yet supported by Forge, it has to be in the edition file for the future).

The following is NOT implemented and I'm not planning to implement it (it involves changing the Forge code to support an additional virtual card rarity solely for a MTGO set which Forge does not officially support - this is not something I'm motivated to do, to be honest):

* Special rarity for the Power Nine is not implemented. Instead, all the Power Nine cards are set to Mythic Rare rarity, which is more common than in MTGO but still rare enough to be a sufficient approximation.

INSTALLATION:

1. Place "Vintage Masters.txt" in your "res/editions" folder of Forge.
2. If you want to draft Vintage Masters, you'll have to edit your "res/blockdata/blocks.txt" file and add the following line to the very end:

Code: Select all

Vintage Masters, 3/6/M15, VMA


3. If you would like to have different basic lands instead of Magic 2015 ones when drafting VMA, replace "M15" in the line above with your favorite set code (the set has to contain basic lands).
4. If you'd like to get a booster pack picture for VMA you can find it in Fizanko's post in the thread above. You will need to put it into "pics/boosters" in your Forge cache.

DRAFT RANKINGS NOTE:

The draft rankings file ("res/draft/rankings.txt") does not have any information about draft priorities for Vintage Masters. I checked Bestiaire (draft.bestiaire.org) but it does not have a listing for Vintage Masters. This will most likely negatively affect the quality of AI drafting in Forge, although I haven't tested it extensively beyond confirming that the AI is still able to draft and build decks despite the lack of rankings. If anybody knows where to get reliable card draft rankings for VMA, please let me know.

Enjoy!

For those interested in playing Vintage Masters in Forge, here's the best draft rankings list I was able to come up with. Like I said, there's no listing for VMA on Bestiaire, so I had to use this list instead and improvise with it a bit:
http://www.mtggoldfish.com/limited/card ... ma_vma_vma
In particular, I placed Mythic Rare and Rare cards in order in the top, then I merged the uncommon/common list by the win rate % into one list and placed that in the bottom. It's most likely far from an ideal approach, but it's the best I can do based on what I have available. Also, this list only contains rankings for 285 cards out of 325 in VMA, I have no idea why the other 40 are not listed in that list above but they just aren't. :\

To install, add this information to the very beginning of your "draft/rankings.txt" file.

Thank, been having a lot of fun drafting this set.

Here is the full set of actual MTGO card images in case anyone is interested -

Here's a rip of price list for VMA from MTGGoldfish.com if anyone is interested in playing with VMA cards in quest mode. You'll need to add these entries to your "all-prices.txt" in the "db" directory of Forge cache. Please note that these prices are rather substantially lower than the regular card prices, probably because they're online-only?..

Thank, been having a lot of fun drafting this set.

Here is the full set of actual MTGO card images in case anyone is interested -

I notice JTMS and Dack still have that weird yellow text.

Would you be able to get actual images for those as well, or, lacking the time, help me do it myself?

Thanks in advance.
