Forge 03/04/2011 (unofficial BETA) version
(Quest icons used created by Teekatas, from his Legendora set
http://raindropmemory.deviantart.com)
7205 cards in total.
This version is based upon the revision # 7088 which is found on our SVN.
This version includes additional work to the quest mode. Fnoed has fixed some bugs and has moved us farther away from the older GUI style. People will notice there is no longer a check box for old or new style GUI at the bottom left corner of the "Quest Options" window. The Quest Options window is now wider and the text displayed in this window should no longer be truncated.
Work continues on Ability Factory and Trigger. We have added additional new cards and have converted a number of existing cards using this new code. Almost 4800 of the cards included in forge use this new code. We are continuing to find the few bugs and will fix them as quickly as is possible.
Masher8, Sloth and Sol made some improvements to the attacking and blocking code. This is a work in progress and it will take some time to finish. While we will see some improvements on behalf of the computer it is impossible to make the computer as competitive as a highly ranked human being. At least the computer is starting to "show" an awareness of certain aspects of combat.
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. We have changed the archiving format to ".tar.bz2" since this may help to store the file permissions for the Mac OS X launcher.
Many people helped with this version. A special thank you goes out to them:
Rob Cashwalker
Friar Sol
Fnoed
Slapshot5

Jeff Wadsworth
