Forge Release 04/07/2019 ver 1.6.23

[Blacksmith]

Forge: 04/07/2019 ver 1.6.23







Desktop: https://releases.cardforge.org/forge/forge-gui-desktop/1.6.23/forge-gui-desktop-1.6.23.tar.bz2





A very drastic change has happened for tokens and token images. Check out the information here: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=23317

A significant improvement was made to how we cache images which should improve memory usage

Forge now requires Java 8 (or newer). You will not be able to start the game if you are not yet running Java 8.

We have a Discord server for hanging out with Forge devs and other Forge fans. Feel free to jump on in and say hi!

Online Multiplayer is once again functional!





New Cards
Glint-Sleeve Artisan; God-Favored General; Garruk the Slayer; Ishkanah, Grafwidow; Entrapment Maneuver

Bug fixes
As always, this release of Forge features an assortment of bug fixes and improvements based on user feedback during the previous release run.






Known issues are here: https://git.cardforge.org/core-developers/forge/issues

Feel free to report your own there if you have any.





The Forge archive includes a MANUAL.txt file and we ask that you spend a few minutes reading this file as it contains some information that may prove useful. We do tend to update this file at times and you should quickly read this file and look for new information for each and every new release. Thank you.

The archive format used for the Forge distribution is ".tar.bz2". There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to extract/decompress these ".tar.bz2" archives. We recommend that you extract/decompress the Forge archive into a new and unused folder.

Some people use the Windows application 7zip. This utility can be found at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. Mac users can double click on the archive and the application Archive Utility will launch and extract the archive. Mac users do not need to download a separate utility.

Once the Forge archive has been decompressed you should then be able to launch Forge by using the included launcher. Launching Forge by double clicking on the forge jar file in the past caused a java heap space error. Forge's memory requirements have increased over time and the launchers increase the java heap space available to Forge. Currently you can launch Forge by double clicking on the forge jar file without a java heap space error but this is likely to change as we add in more sounds, icons, etc.

- The Mac OS application version -
We haven't been able to distribute the OS X Application version of Forge in sometime. We've recently automated our release tools, and will continue to look in the viability of creating this file now that things are autoamted.


- Online Multiplayer -
For local network play you should only need two systems running Forge. One to host and one to join and play. For remote (over the Internet) play you will need to ensure that the port used (36743 by default) is forwarded to the hosting machine.

I did this without paying attention. I used tome scour on an opponent who had 0 card in his library. I got stuck with "waiting for opponent" message.

Explorer's Scope is not working correctly. When it finds a land it puts it into play untapped, and not tapped.

Just tested this. Works fine for me. Want to provide a fuller bug report?

I was playing with it some more and I noticed that it brings the land out 'untapped' but when you try to use the mana, it doesn't allow it. So, it's untapped but not actually providing mana.

[Fregnor]

Thanks for the update!

I have encountered an issue. With Vraska, Golgari Queen, in Achievements you can get your Planeswalker Ultimates trophy like you should, but you cannot get your Alternate Win Conditions trophy because something is wrong.

[Deyool]

Mystic Barrier do not demand that each player attack only the chosen direction, but skip attack phase instead.

[tasteful]

Thanks for the update!

I have encountered an issue. With Vraska, Golgari Queen, in Achievements you can get your Planeswalker Ultimates trophy like you should, but you cannot get your Alternate Win Conditions trophy because something is wrong.

now, my guess would be that it not giving an alternate win condition is working as intended, because the win condition is the same as usual - you win because all opponents lose. right?

[Fregnor]

Vraska, Golgari Queen's ultimate, and her alternate win condition reads:

-9: You get an emblem with "Whenever a creature you control deals combat to a player, that player loses the game."

In both of my recent playtests, it was a two-person duel. I used Vraska's ultimate, got my emblem, attacked with a flyer, and got past the opponent's defenses to damage the opponent's life points, but not take them all the way down to zero. The game ended immediately, and the count on my Planewalker Ultimate trophy went up by one. But I did not earn an Alternate Win Conditions trophy.

I would not have earned the Alternate Win Conditions trophy if I had used instants and sorceries to bring the opponent's life points down to zero or used milling to make them run out of cards in their library. But as it is, I think I have earned the trophy twice recently and there is an error in the coding. I have not been able to pinpoint the line of code that awards an Alternate Win Condition trophy. The one that awards the Planeswalker Ultimate trophy seems to be:

Code: Select all

| Ultimate$ True |

[Fregnor]

Looking at the code again, I think maybe variations of lines like these trigger the awarding of Alternate Win Conditions trophies:

Code: Select all

SVar:WinGame:DB$ WinsGame | Defined$ You

Code: Select all

SVar:TrigWin:DB$WinsGame | Defined$ You

Code: Select all

SVar:DBWin:DB$ WinsGame | Defined$ You |

I have not found a similar line in Vraska, Golgari Queen

[lindleya1]

The new token system seems to have not got the tokens for Daxos, the Returned correct. They have the correct abilities and colours, but they aren't enchantments.

[RationalGaze]

Thank you to everyone who works @ Forge

[Stampedo]

Is that possible to add a little quality of life to the card Surgical Extraction?
I had to choose a card that was both in my graveyard and the opponent's, and I ended up exiling my own card. Specifying in which graveyard I want to exile the card would be better IMO, or specify who's the owner of the card.

[Xitax]

green 3/3 elemental ARC shouldn't exist as a token.
bug: in the token viewer if there's alternate token pics available, the alternate token is showing the default token instead of the designated alternates. It only happens with certain tokens. Might be a card script issue?

As an alternative, I think it would be cool to occasionally use any token instead of the set specific token.
