10-18 version

[jpb]

Here is a version with some of the cards added on this board. I only did really basic testing, and did not test any of the cards functionality yet. I did not add anything to rares.txt, uncommons.txt, or commons.txt, although I did add entries to cards.txt and card-pictures.txt

I have reached my "attachment quota" so I cannot attach the file to this post. Go to http://rapidshare.com/files/155096732/10-18-forge.zip.html to get the zip file. To run mtg forge: unzip and execute: java -jar run-forge.jar

I did not add the comes into play additions or some of the other newer additions posted. I will probably not be doing this again.

I see Comes into play tapped lands, but I don't see any code to handle them. I see the code to handle the Diamonds though.

I'll add more of my code, to remove the "hacky" code for Simple Self Pumpers, converting it into the PTPump, KPump and PTKPump. The CIPT keyword, which will replace the explicit code for the Diamonds. I'll also load up the commons, uncommons and rares.

It also looks like the new vanilla creatures from Shards hasn't been added yet, so I'll do that, plus any others, using the keywords I'll be adding.

I can post back the source.zip, hopefully inside of a week, would you at least be willing to compile it?

[GandoTheBard]

Cool! Ill have to download and check it out. What attachment quota? I must have attached 30 or so deck lists to the decks thread...never ran into a quota.

[Rob Cashwalker]

In card-pictures, eladamri's call should be "eladamri's_call" it throws an error telling me that I need to be connected to the internet.... How did I find out the culprit? I wrote a VB program to parse it, and check for the missing files. This was the only one with a problem, made the change, and Forge downloaded them all.

[GandoTheBard]

Odd I got no exception. The program does take forever and a day to download the pics but I suppose its still quicker than doing it manually (though for the most part I could just copy the ones I have already.) Good catch on the card typo Rob.

[GandoTheBard]

Immediately found a bug that I'm sure whether it belongs to the new build or the one posted by rares. When you start the game you get an extra draw after the mulligan question.

[GandoTheBard]

Also the comes into play tapped lands do not come into play tapped...though I think that was mentioned already.

[GandoTheBard]

Regeneration does not function properly. It negates destruction instead of processing it. (ie: taps and is removed from combat.)

[GandoTheBard]

Necropotence is broken. It requires mana to be untapped to be usable.

[GandoTheBard]

Oh and for some reason I stopped being able to play land midgame. Happened the turn I disked the necropotence. some weird synergy maybe?

[GandoTheBard]

Polluted Mire should have cycling and does not.

[jpb]

The extra draw after a mulligan was introduced when the recursion was removed.

The attachment quota is probably measured in size, not in number of attachments. This attachment is over 1mb, decks are much smaller.

I'll look into the Necropotence problem. I will also compile anything you send me the entire source to if you send it in a private message. The rest of the problems I will not look at.

EDIT: I looked into Necropotence problem, I didn't see the reported problem. I can have three swamps in play. Put a Necropotence in play, tapping all three lands. Then use the Necropotence as many times as I wish. There is a problem in that it shouldn't allow you to resolve these if it makes your life go below 1, but that's a minor issue. Another problem is that Necropotence reads "At the end of your turn, put that card into your hand." This Necropotence puts it in your hand before your discard phase (kinda) and so you may have to discard. I do not think this is right.

[Rob Cashwalker]

card-pictures has some duplicate lines. I'm evolving this VB program to help cross-reference the text files, and make sure we've got all cards accounted for. Here's the duplicates, and the line numbers they appear at. They may reference different art, or card frames.

Actually no, if you potence before the end of your turn for more cards than you can hold you will end up discarding (removing them).

[GandoTheBard]

Well I built a necro deck and was able to repeat the bug of tapping out/not being able to potence so it is a real bug.

The thing is...it prompts you to pay a mana...you dont pay any mana but it prompts you and you have to attempt to tap something to get the activation to work. Which is of course just wrong. I think it is because the 0: activation effect was taken too literally. 0, pay 1 life: draw a card does not mean prompt me for a 0 mana then take 1 life from me.
