Collectible Card Game Headquarters

UPDATE (07/19/21): Forge Mobile Backport v1.6.43.001 has been released. It's a release based on Forge for Android v1.6.43.001 and desktop Forge v1.6.43. Enjoy!

IMPORTANT UPGRADE REMINDER: When upgrading from the previous version of the mobile backport, please remember that it's always best to start with a fresh empty folder, unpack the new version there, then move the profile folder from your previous version to the new folder. This will help avoid mixing executables and resources from the old and the new versions of the game.

UPDATE (08/07/21): Forge Mobile Backport v1.6.44.001 has been released. It's a release based on Forge for Android v1.6.44.001 and desktop Forge v1.6.44. Enjoy!

IMPORTANT UPGRADE REMINDER: When upgrading from the previous version of the mobile backport, please remember that it's always best to start with a fresh empty folder, unpack the new version there, then move the profile folder from your previous version to the new folder. This will help avoid mixing executables and resources from the old and the new versions of the game.

RESOLVING A CRASH ON STARTUP: If you're getting a FSkinFont-related crash on startup similar to the one outlined above, you need to take an extra step to resolve it. In particular, this release now includes a "fonts" folder which you will need to copy into your Forge cache (the same location where the "pics", "skins" and "db" folders reside, e.g. where you copied your card pictures). You need to copy the folder itself, not just the files inside. Please check the forge.profile.properties file for information regarding where your Forge cache folder is if you're not sure. Once you get Forge to start, if you don't like the default font provided, just switch the theme to the one you prefer and the font will be automatically adjusted accordingly.

I dont know what new "developer" you have over there but they need to leave and go work at Microslop. They're achieving 100% in the failure category, since it hasn't work since version 1.6.36. Nothing but a black screen. So this is what you do.
1. Go back and see all that they did.
2. Undo everything they did.
Problem solved. Thanks.

Q: If I already have the main project cloned locally via git, is there a configuration for building the backport?

I decided to try the backport on my surface pro, but it seems as though if i enable card overlays, specifically the card name and P/T overlays, it crashes the moment a card is drawn.

here's the error logs

Card Name

Hello! Wonderful project you've done here! I was wondering if this was going to get updated further? There is a new version of Forge Mobile that has an updated Adventure Mode, and was wondering if this would catch up.

download desktop snapshot here (as of this writing November 3, 2022 build): https://downloads.cardforge.org/dailysnapshots/
then run forge-adventure.exe (or forge-adventure.sh), it should run the backport. (see changelog for the updates)
