Forge 12/11/2010 (unofficial BETA) version

(Quest icons used created by Teekatas, from his Legendora set http://raindropmemory.deviantart.com)

5535 cards in total.

This version is based upon the revision # 4215 which is found on our SVN.

Changes have been made to the AI and we hope that the computer will now make better decisions when it comes to attacking and blocking. We would like people to give it a thorough test and report back their observations.

If you notice a substantial slow down while playing you should try using the low quality pictures rather than the high quality pictures as this seems to improve performance.

I found a utility to remove the hidden Mac-related files. I removed the ".SVN" and the /res/lib/ folders from this archive as they are not needed. The archives are now compressed using the 7z format. There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to decompress these archives.


Many people helped with this version. A special thank you goes out to them:

EDIT: I misnamed this archive forge1111.7z and it is really forge1211.7z ... sorry about that. I hope this does not create too much confusion.

OK folks. The beta is now ready for you to download.

[Chris H.]

After I finished the beta upload I realized that I had mis-named the archive forge1111.7z. I went back and changed the date on the messages in this topic. But the archive on MediaFire is still named "forge1111.7z".

I currently only have modem dial-up and would rather not re-upload the archive using the correct name. Still, this is the latest beta.

No problem Chris. Those who care can rename the file after downloading. If we want to have more clarity we should add the year of release as well or take the revision number as name of the archive.

I'm excited to hear what the blocking AI does wrong now. So keep your complains coming.

I'm excited to hear what the blocking AI does wrong now. So keep your complains coming.

`
Sloth, can you give us a brief idea of what you have changed and what you would like the user base to test?

I created a sticky topic here AI attacking and blocking Observations for you and the user base to use for future discussion on AI attacking and blocking. Some of our users would like to participate in this type of testing but the messages on the developers section can at times become too technical.

[SoulStorm]

I received the following error when I tried to enter the card shop. I'm using an imported quest data from the 11/30 beta. I had played one game against the AI without any problems.

Thanks!

CardFactory : getCard() invalid card name - All is Dust

The name of All Is Dust changed (the "i" is now "I"). You might be able to fix this if you modify the file questData. But I'm not sure if this works.

[Chris H.]

SoulStorm should zip his questData file and attach it to a message in this topic. I will download the his questData file and will then open it inside of Eclipse. From there I can replace the "i" with an "I" and save the file. Eclipse will not change any other portion of the file nor will it add any other data to the file as part of the save.

I can then upload the file for SoulStorm to continue using. We had a similar name change problem about a year ago and I was able to figure out how to fix the questData file.

Loading the questData file into word processing apps or other text editors will either change some of the bytes or it will add additional data. This will corrupt the questData file.

Yep, corrupt the file it does. I kept a backup though.

The file is attached.

Thanks Chris!

I made the change and launched forge with this edited questData file and went into quest mode. There are a lot of cards in your file and I got a java heap space error when entering the deck editor. I did not bother trying to increase the java heap space on my Mac. I think that this file is OK, try it out and let us know.

Hmmm? Stealth file? Did I fail a perception check?

Flashback cards that target still seem to be broken...

Hmm, strange. This site will not let me attach a .7z archive. OK, I uploaded the edited questData file to MediaFile. Try this:
