Forge Beta: 03-27-2013 ver 1.3.11

[rigged]

I must say I don't like the new migration.

Especially with it moving files and creating folders in places I don't want touched.

I want a single folder with forge in it.

When I upgrade I just extract the latest tar file into that folder over writing all the files.

I want that portable folder back.

Please make this an option.

I currently can't even play forge because I refuse to complete the migration.

very upsetting.

There are very good directions about how to setup Forge to put additional files into whatever directory you want.. including a directory inside the Forge folder.

I didn't write the migration code, but you should be able to do something like this:

Say Forge is installed to D:\forge.

Copy and rename the forge.profile.properties.example file in D:\forge\ so that the new file is forge.profile.properties

Then change the following lines:

Code: Select all

userDir=
cacheDir=


Code: Select all

userDir=D:/forge/riggedprofile
cacheDir=D:/forge/riggedprofile/cache


This solution of course depends on Forge not having a top level folder named "riggedprofile" in a future release (that's pretty unlikely, so I bet it will be safe), it does allow you to have forge be portable and encapsulated in a single directory while still allowing the devs to isolate these extra data files outside of the main forge to make the process of upgrading Forge in the future easier.

I think I found a bug with Chittering Rats. AI cast it, targeting me, but instead his hand was revealed, I got the choice, and his card went to the library.

Sounds similar to the Lobotomy bug reported below. I think moomarc is on top of it. Should be fixed in the next release.

My Humility was bounced by the static ETB ability of Sedraxis Alchemist

I see no problem with this. Did the controller of Sedraxis Alchemist not have a blue permanent or something?

Edit: never mind... found it. Stupid place to put something.

Not sure why you think it's a stupid place. It's the standard place operating systems put things. If you read the readme file, it had directions to place it wherever you like if you changed your forge profile properties.

Heh. I was (and still am, just a bit. Bloody allergies ) just being a grouch. I'm used to Windows XP, which likely would have put this into the My Documents folder, which is readily accessible, and not buried deep inside the file system without a nice shortcut to get to it.

Nope, it would have gone to C:\Documents and Settings\<your_username_here>\AppData\. Also, during the migration process if you looked at the log before you hit migrate, it did say exactly what folder it was planning on moving each file to.

I'm rather new to this program so I'm not sure if these are bugs or me just not understanding how to properly use the program.

I enchanted a forest with Verdant Haven and upon tapping the enchanted forest it asks me what type of mana I want to use but only gives me the chosen mana and not the mana from the forest, should be 2 mana but only getting one.

Tried to cast a three mana creature using an Arbor Elf to untap a forest and couldn't do it. Had a Stomping Ground out as the forest.

If you were trying to cast a spell when tapping a forest, the green mana was probably applied to the spell you were casting. If you weren't the Green Mana is sitting in your Mana Pool. It's in the Player Panel underneath your Picture and Life.

If you are in the middle of casting a spell you can only activate mana abilities. Arbor Elf is not a mana ability. To do this properly, you have to tap your forest for mana before casting your spell. Activate your Elf to untap it, then start casting your spell. This isn't a Forge specific feature, this is how the rule of the game are.

Ok thanks, so both those problems were just me being unfamiliar with the ui, my apologies.

[TastetheJace]

A Limited Edition Alpha Lightning Bolt just cost me 6 whole credits at the spell shop. Made me chuckle compared to older Forge versions.

It seems that the Quicksilver enemy always crashes the game when using Ardent Plea.

[elminster63500]

Hi all,

First of all, great thanks for this new version :

The gauntlet mode seems not work. We fight always with the same opponent and this regardless the number of selected opponents (5,10, 20 and etc ...) it's always the first opponent who returned withoud stopping. Is that i forgot to set something ? i do not think

In quest mode I got the following error message when AI cascaded Ardent Plea into Hypergenesis.
