So, Here's My Issue :
Posted: 23 Jan 2017, 04:50
Originally I was playing Forge with no problems. I was using it to practice my Cube drafting using the built-in custom Cube called 'MTGO Vintage Cube 2016.' After a while, I noticed that it was missing some cards that I believed would make it more fun to draft. This is when I looked up how to create my own custom Cube for Forge. It looked simple, so I followed the instructions: 1) Create a new .dck file in the "Cube" folder using the [metadata] tag at the top, then "Name=MyCubeName," followed by a [main] tag, and then the list of all of the cards I want included in my Cube preceded by a "1" (for the Singleton Command). Then I moved over to the "Draft" folder and created a file called "cube_mycubename.draft" and simply borrowed the exact same text from the "MTGO Vintage Cube 2016.draft" file and pasted it into mine.
Here's where the problem arose. After doing all of this and reloading Forge in attempt to draft my new Cube... it crashed. All of the other draft formats still work, but as soon as I try to enter the "Custom Draft" list, it crashes. Figuring I may have misspelled something in my cube files that was causing this crash, I took out both of the new files I had created from the Cube and Draft folders. Still crashing!
Now I can't draft ANY type of Custom Draft as it crashes whenever I try. Even after restoring it back to how it was when it was working. I figured reinstalling might solve that issue, and then I ran into ANOTHER issue: I cannot download the Forge installer file anymore. Whenever I click on the (tar.gz2) link in the "Newest Beta Release" thread, nothing happens. It just continues to try and load the file but never does. And strangely enough, I am perfectly able to download ANY other file from the Forge directory, just not the one I need.
Does anybody know what I may have done wrong? Why my personal custom cube wouldn't work? How I can stop Forge from crashing when I try to load a custom draft? Why I can't download the Forge install file, in order to attempt reinstalling?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Psy
