MTGForge 04/04 (unofficial BETA) version

[DennisBergkamp]

New version!

Fixes/Features:

- Updated rarities (thanks Gando!)
- New keywords: "Wither" and "Whenever a creature dealt damage by this card this turn is put into a graveyard, put a +1/+1 counter on this card."
- Fixed Titanic Ultimatum, Bad Moon and Crusade (these fixes were already present in the fix file I posted in the bug thread).
- Fixed some more Fear / Flying blocking issues.
- Fixed Oubliette card text.
- Fixed Echoing Truth dialog text.
- Fixed Faceless Butcher and Oblivion Ring .... if one of them leaves play in response to their coming into play ability, they will (correctly) remove their target from the game forever. I still have to fix Oubliette, I don't think it triggers on coming into play like Oblivion Ring does.
- Fixed Bringer of the Green Dawn and Bringer of the White Dawn (only one would trigger if multiple were in play).
- Fixed Vindicate, cannot destroy indestructible permanents anymore.
- Fixed another first strike / lifelink issue: first strikers with multiple instances of lifelink will gain life for each instance of lifelink now.
- Fixed Spawnwrithe (should make a copy of itself now if blocked, and trample damage spills over).

New cards:
(I tried PMing Chris H. for the pics / rarities, but for some reason I couldn't send the PM).

I just noticed Hedge Troll gets referred to as Sedge Troll in its text in cards.txt

(I tried PMing Chris H. for the pics / rarities, but for some reason I couldn't send the PM).

Thanks for the new cards to try out and the bug fixes are always welcome.

I have noticed that PMs will sometimes be sent fairly quickly while other times they will sit in the out box for hours and not be sent until the following day (I guess).

I will try to send you a PM in a couple of days once I have the data files updated.

While I am at it, should I go ahead and add the following cards via the Wither keyword ? :

Rustrazor Butcher
Sickle Ripper
Smoldering Butcher
Wildslayer Elves

[Mr.Chaos]

Lots of fixes and lots of new cards. (and probably some new bugs as well. )
Thanks Dennis!

Rustrazor Butcher
Sickle Ripper
Smoldering Butcher
Wildslayer Elves

I somehow missed those. Yes, please, go right ahead

[Chris H.]

I tried to add the Puncture Blast spell but the new Wither keyword is not compatible with spells. This is the data that I added to the cards.txt file as part of my test:


Puncture Blast
2 R
Instant
no text
Wither
spDamageCP:3


I knew that this spell would be a long shot and that it would most likely require additional coding.

[GandoTheBard]

Any chance of seeing Persist?

[DennisBergkamp]

Ooh, I didn't know spells with Wither existed. Yes, this would require additional coding, unfortunately.

I've also looked a bit into Persist, it's tricky but definitely possible, and I'll give it a shot.

[Chris H.]

(I tried PMing Chris H. for the pics / rarities, but for some reason I couldn't send the PM).

I just sent you a PM with the updated data. You should have it by tomorrow at the latest.

If not, you might want mark and delete any PM's that you have with your account. You may have reached the limit.

[DennisBergkamp]

Chris,

No I got them, thanks again
Here they are, attached for everyone to d/l:

Anyone interested in the card-pictures04-06.zip and originalRarities04-06.zip archives should also download the cards.txt04-06.zip attachment. This will keep your data files in sync.

You will get the jpgs for Dennis' new 19 cards and you will also have access to the 4 new Wither cards that I added. These four cards are listed in message:

http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1060&view=unread#p12154

The cards.txt04-06.zip attachment will also correct the minor text string problems that were noticed with the Hedge Troll and Twinblade Slasher cards.

Wither is great, thanks.

I was installing MTG Forge on a new machine and I tried to download all of the card pictures but after about 2 minutes it stopped and said something like, "Please connect to the internet." This just means that MTG Forge could connect to one of the urls in card-pictures.txt, unfortunately MTG Forge doesn't tell you which url is bad. (And yes I did write this code )

I think this line needs to be changed in Gui_DownloadPictures startDownload()

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You must be connected to the Internet. \nError downloading card:\n" +card[i].name +"\n" +card[i].url, "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

Apparently showMessageDialog doesn't like newline character \n, so they should be all removed. This is the new, improved code.

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You must be connected to the Internet. Error downloading card:" +card[i].name +" " +card[i].url, "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

I copied over the majority of the card-pictures.txt file to my spreadsheet so that I could alphabetize most of the cards. The most recent cards that are added will be the first to download and the rest of the alphabetized list downloads after the new cards.

A person now should be able to compare the jpgs that were downloaded against the card-pictures.txt file and determine where the problem is located. I do not have high speed internet access, only modem dial up. It takes me almost three hours to download the entire list of jpgs.

If someone would like to run a test for me and report where the downloading stopped ... that would be very helpful.

[Chris H.]

@ Dennis:

I noticed that you have an early version of the questData file included in the Forge 04-04 BETA. Rares updated this file and included most of the AI decks that were included in the 100 deck archive.

I will PM you the most recent version done by Rares. You should use this one rather than the older version that is currently in your possession.


As a note to everyone, this is still a work in progress. Decks will be added and modified at some point in the future.

[DennisBergkamp]

Ohhh, ok. Didn't know there was a more recent quest file
