Forge 01/01 (unofficial BETA) version

[DennisBergkamp]

This version has a lot of bug fixes, but also loads of new stuff!
I still haven't figured out how to fix the memory leak problem completely though. I made a few improvements, but JPanels still get created and destroyed like crazy, anyway I'm curious to see if there are any improvements you guys notice.
2624 cards in total now.

Features/Fixes:

- Treva, the Renewer, Rith, the Awakener and Oros, the Avenger are usable by the AI now, and fixed a bug involving Control Magic and either of these cards.
- Phytohydra should be fixed.
- Lands shouldn't be playable at opponent's EOT anymore.
- Checking attack triggers should happen only once, after all attackers have been declared.
- Fixed a bunch of bugs with Mox Diamond.
- Guiltfeeder should only trigger when it's unblocked (previously it would trigger when trampling over also).
- Fixed Elvish Piper (not sure how it broke?).
- Added Poison Counters.
- AI shouldn't play Cognivore, Terravore, Cantivore, Magnivore, Mortivore anymore if there are no cards in any graveyard keeping them alive.
- Radiant, Archangel is a 3/3 now.
- Discarding when controlling Necropotence should exile the card.
- Fixed a bug in the combat code where if a 1/1 creature has 1 damage, it will die no matter what.
- Umezawa's Jitte should trigger now when attacking a planeswalker.
- Cathartic Adept should tap when using its ability.
- Added Rob's abPumpTgt keyword, including a bunch of new cards supported by it.
- Rob updated spDamageTgt to include TgtOpp.
- Rob updated doDrawBack to include doXMath.
- Fixed some Memnarch targeting code.
- Changing cardSizes (in the main menu -> Menu -> Specify Card Size) after games have been played should actually have an effect now.
- Fixed Nantuko Elder creature type.
- Fixed AEther Web and other Auras with Flash (it was actually possible to cast them as they were in play already - getting infinitely more copies).
- Fixed Shadowmage Infiltrator, Thieving Magpie, Lu Xun, Scholar General, Augury Adept, Hypnotic Specter, (when control changes, the correct player should draw/discard cards).
- Fixed a bug where lands could be played with other spells/abilities on the stack.
- Gaining control of a creature equipped with Umezawa's Jitte and attacking with it shouldn't crash the game anymore. However, if you use this on the AI, you can use its abilities (gain life ability will give the AI life though).
- Added some kind of caching algorithm, hopefully it will actually make a difference.
- Rebel / Merc searches shouldn't fetch non-permanents (with Changeling) anymore.
- Untap should happen before the AIs upkeep phase now (I hope changing that didn't break anything).
- Added Echo, Upkeep and Cumulative Upkeep functionality.
- Thelonite Hermit should also give +1/+1 to creatures with Changeling.
- Fixed Iona, Shield of Emeria.
- Fixed Bog Initiate Manacost.
- Some slight performance improvements for displaying cards (not sure if it helps much).
- A bunch of Adarkar Valkyrie bugs should be fixed now.
- Fixed Merfolk Sovereign (should only pump controlled creatures).
- Fixed Eternity Snare manacost.
- Removed some old commented out code of cards that have been replaced by keywords.
- Boreal Centaur and Knight of the Skyward Eye abilities can only be used once per turn now.
- Chris converted quite a few cards from code to keyword: Ice Storm; Lay Waste; Sinkhole; Stone Rain; Demystify; Disenchant; Naturalize; Shatter; Dark Banishing; Saltblast; Terminate; Vindicate; Angelic Blessing; Brute Force; Riding the Dilu Horse; Wildsize; Aggressive Urge; Guided Strike; Might of Oaks and Spark Spray.
- Vasiliy added sound to Forge! When tapping lands, a sound will play (found in res/sound/, tap.mp3).
- Chris fixed Kinsbaile Borderguard and Lockjaw Snapper.
- Vasiliy added Import picture functionality (allowing importing of pictures into Forge from a local drive) more details on: viewtopic.php?f=52&t=1920&start=45
- Vasiliy added a mirror for the HQ pics.
- Vasiliy added probability of drawing a card in the Deck Analysis menu.
- Chris updated Disciple of Kangee.
- Chris added Snow-Covered lands to the Quest starting pool.

Rob extended some of his keyword functionality, which allowed for a lot of extra cards also.

Triadasoul added:

- Carnophage and Sangrophage.
- Prowess of the Fair, Bridge from Below.

Special thanks to Marek for compiling the Echo/Upkeep card list!

all rarities for Forge 01-01-2010

This archive contains updated rarity files for Forge 01-01-2010. I added the missing rarity values for the new cards that were included in version 01-01-2010. This set is not compatible with earlier versions of Forge.

This archive now contains only one set of rarity files. These files have had a rarity value assigned to all of the cards except for the basic lands, basic snow lands, and Rares three fantasy cards.

As of version 10-02-2009 these rarity files now go inside of the res folder and are now of no use to you if you place them in the root folder. You can place a copy inside of the res folder and a second copy inside of the quest folder.

[Marek14]

Hmm... why is Marsh Viper missing from the poison counter cards?

Also, there is a possibility of Leeches.

[DennisBergkamp]

Ah, I'll add them

[apthaven]

Great job on the release especially on the bug fixes!! A many thanks.

Gotta love the new control cards, like Kismet and Stasis. More blue milling power too!

The land tapping sound is also a very good plus

[Mr.Chaos]

Now that is a good way to start the new year!
Thanks for all the hard work guys.

Time to finally update my gobliiins deck with the the new piledriver and that other one from the previous update, he gives haste and +1/+1 to all your gobbies.

I am redownloading all my card images at the moment, just the LQ ones though.
The HQ ones are nice but do take up a lot of diskspace.
I just hope it also grabs all of the tokens.
666 of 2672 cards finished. Well, it is a beast of a download.

[Mr.Chaos]

Hmm... ended up with an error on downloading the LQ images actually. Here it is:

For the non-durch speaking folks: (Het systeem kan het opgegeven pad niet vinden)means that the system cannot find the given path/url.

Is there anyway to make it so the download is not halted at this point but just ignores the card and moves on to the next in line?
Preverably while still letting you know which card(s) it could not download.
Because I now have 2643 cards out of 2672 downloaded, meaning I will have to hunt down the remaining cards manually.

The url path for this picture is working at this time. Can you try it again a liitle later and let us know if their server is now providing this pic?

I like the idea of being able to skip the url that is not responding. Being able to continue the downloading would be great.

You can just manually get the one that gives you problems, then run the auto-download again.

[Chris H.]

- Chris added Snow-Covered lands to the Quest starting pool.

`
We should also get some Snow-Covered lands in sealed deck format.

To see these Snow-Covered lands in your Quest starting pool you will have to start a new quest. I know, this is not ideal. With some editing we might be able to add them to the questData files for some people.

I went into the deck editor for quest mode with a fresh and unused copy of the questData file and I did not see the Snow-Covered lands. I did not start a new quest, I just hit the deck editor button. There were only 272 cards rather than the 275 cards that we normally see at start. There must be a second card distribution method that I failed to find and update. I may be able to fix this for the next version.

For now, start a new quest and you will see the Snow-Covered lands in your Quest starting pool.

[silly freak]

you can also just create an empty file with the right name to fool the downloader. after completed, delete it so you can eventually retry the pic

[Vecc]

Great as usual. The fetchlands are godsent!

An option to disable sound would be REALLY nice, tho'.

[Mr.Chaos]

OK, I tried downloading the LQ pics again and the good news is that the game only tries to download the missing pics, not just all of them again.
The bad news is:

I get the same error again.
And yes, the url actually works, I can manually import the image and rename it to work with Forge but for some reason the downloadtool cannot grab it.

Is it really that hard to make computer use them, though? Probably the simplest algorithm would be, "if you have a fetchland on battlefield and your life > 5", activate it and fetch a random land out of all possible. A bit more complex algorithm would be to check which type of land you have least, then fetch that type - or to prefer fetching duals to basics.
