MTGForge 04/22 (unofficial BETA) version

[DennisBergkamp]

New version with some fixes:

- Fixed Timberwatch Elf (and other cards that use input_targetCreature_NoCost_TapAbility), they should not be able to target creatures with protection from {color} / shroud.
- Fixed AI devour: AI should devour any 1/1, 1/2 and 0/2 creature it finds (I should probably include a general method somewhere that returns all valuable creatures to exclude... (Prodigal Sorcerer, Rhys the Redeemed, Elvish Piper, etc.))
- Fixed Lifelink not triggering during planeswalker combat for non-first strikers.
- Fixed Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers text.
- Fixed Divinity of Pride.
- Fixed some issues with cards that trigger when damaging a player and trample (Spawnwrithe, Slith Predator).
- AI shouldn't use Rhys' second ability unless there are 2 or more tokens in play.
- AI should be able to use Elvish Farmer / Mycologist sack saproling for life ability now (will do it when his life < 6).
- A 1/5 wall blocking a Deft Duelist should actually destroy the Deft Duelist (this is a more general bug fix of course, before this, attacking with a first striker would not receive combat damage if it was blocked with a non-first striker provided the attacking creature was controlled by the (human) player).
- Fixed Rolling Stones, all walls can attack now, it used to only affect the walls of the controlling player.
- Quest mode will start with 6 extra red commons, and because I'm just so damn generous 1 extra red uncommon Anyway, I hope this makes red more playable in quest mode...

Only 1 extra card: Flame Javelin.

Next version, could you also add the 0/1 critters. I feel another Kobold type deck in the making.

[DennisBergkamp]

Ahh, right, I'll add 0/1 in there too

You spoil us, you really do.
Only other thing I can of to say about this update to the update is this: WOOT!

[GandoTheBard]

Here is an oddity: I downloaded the newest version and started a new Questmode. Looking at my colors I see I have 11 white, 13 blue, 13 black, 13 green and 19 red. Odd because before this version I was getting more of the other cards and less than half of that of red. I think the extra cards put us over the edge. Lol. Im not sure whats going on with the color distribution. I'll try some more samples and see what I get.\

Next one: 16 white, 12 blue, 10 black, 10 red, 18 green. Ok so I guess its just a little more random now.

[DennisBergkamp]

Ah yes it seems the 19 red was just a lucky case... note you will get 7 extra red cards from before, which is quite a lot

[mtgrares]

Bugs fixes are great, thanks. I'm still amazed when I use shroud and protection.

[DennisBergkamp]

Thanks Ugh, I guess I forgot to add the Borderpost lands though. I'll be sure to add them into the next version...
EDIT: I guess they're not even lands but artifacts

Actually, these should also be included. It looks at creatures with P/T values lower than or equal to 1/2.

Code: Select all

if (c.getNetAttack() <= 1 && c.getNetDefense() <= 2)

[Chris H.]

I'm play testing the new Shroud ability. I have an Elvish Lookout in play and have tried to target it with Instant spells and with the Royal Assassin ability to destroy tapped creature.

I get a nice message, "Cannot target this card (Shroud? Protection?)." I like it. When I cast the Magnify spell the Elvish Lookout received the non targeted buff. Looks good.


The Threshold ability of the Nimble Mongoose is also working. I see that there are a number of cards that use Threshold. Unfortunately, it appears that these other cards would require additional coding.


Protection appears to also be working. I know it is very complicated and that there may be some small section of code that may come to our attention at a later date. Yet, it looks good so far.


I posted here since there are no bugs for me to report, just a big It's working great and thank you.

[DennisBergkamp]

Cool, glad to hear it Chris
I think the whole targeted/non-targeted array of spells was one of the trickiest things by the way... had to go through every spell and specify whether it was targeted or not (and oftentimes this had to be done three times, once for human targeting, once for AI targeting and once for resolution).
