Forge 12/14 (unofficial BETA) version

[DennisBergkamp]

No matter how good it is, you guys know how to make it better. This is about as good as Tool's version of No Quarter (the Led Zep song, not the card; I love how there's a card named after it). Which is totally the best thing ever.

Great new features and cards, congratulations on the superb work guys. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate it.

Hey, I'll take that as a compliment, I love that song!!! Both versions, by the way

Thanks Chris, I always use your updates.

Thanks Chris, I always use your updates.

You are welcome.

I see that the file is downloaded by a number of people and I have received a few pm's in reference to the updated rarity files.

Thnx alot for the new release but i'm facing a problem:In this version the token pictures, which i had set up properly in the previous edition,don't appear! Where i have to put the tokken pictures in order to be displayed?Thnx in advance and sorry for my english

[DennisBergkamp]

- Added a property for token images (currently set to 'pics/tokens' - just set to 'pics' to keep it the way it always was).

Two options:
1. (this one I recommend) copy them into res\pics\tokens.

2. Or edit the main.properties file that's found in the res folder, and change "image/token--file=pics/tokens" to "image/token--file=pics".

It's a major compliment indeed.

So far the new version's been perfect to me. The only 'issue' I get isn't even an actual issue, more like a side effect; the Deck Editor takes noticeably longer to 'load' on my PC, but it isn't too bad.

It looks like this version refers to a total of 79 token images by the following name:

Hmm . . .

Upon trying to 'Continue Quest', I receive 30 errors of the following form, probably due to a subtle mismatch (such as Buffy vs. Buffy I vs. Buffy 1):

(The version is dated 11/25 here, but it's really the new 12/14 one.) But I am a trooper, and I dismiss each of them to arrive at the opponent/deck selection screen. Attempting to call up the 'Deck Editor', however, causes this:

Closing the error window doesn't bring any more of them but instead dumps me to the previous screen again. However, I can play a game normally. Am I missing a file or using an incorrect one?

[Caranthol]

I have the same problem trying to open my red deck to add the new cards, with the Aether Membrane Card.

[Chris H.]

The quest files are related and you can not mix and match the files from different versions. The "questData" file contains the computer opponent decks. It also contains your decks and your pool of cards.

The "easy.txt", "medium.txt" and "hard.txt" files contain the names of the computer decks. When you download a newer version of Forge and you decide to continue your quest from the previous version of Forge you must ->

copy all four of the quest files to the newer version. Otherwise you may end up with data files from different versions of the quest files. The different versions of the quest files are not compatible with each other.

The latest version of the quest data files

`
The old version of Aether Membrane was renamed to "AEther Membrane" in Forge 12-14. Open your red deck in a text editor and rename:

Aether Membrane -> AEther Membrane

Thanks!!

OK, I tracked down the true problem and I now have a better understanding. There are two different solutions for this quest bug with Forge 12-14.


1) Open the uncommon.txt file which can be found at

/Forge/res/quest/uncommon.txt

with a text editor and perform the renaming above and then save.


2) Download the up-to-date rarity files All Rarities 12-14-2009.zip and place the three files contained in the zip file in your /Forge/res/quest/ folder.
