MTGForge 12/29 (unofficial BETA) version

[DennisBergkamp]

I finished a new version of MTGForge! It contains all the cards I've been adding in the last few months. Note that it's definitely BETA, even though I've tested most cards a decent amount, there are probably still quite a few bugs present.

I can't attach it here on the forums though, because my "attachment quota has been reached" (I guess the max size is only 1 meg or something?). So I've uploaded it onto Rapidshare, the problem is I think it can only be downloaded 10 times... Does anyone know of some free webhosting? Perhaps Forge could help me out

For now, here's the rapidshare link:

EDIT: I also added a google sites link (hopefully it'll work) :

Anyway, here's a quick summary of some of the new cards / features / fixes added:

- Doran, the Siege Tower
- Punish Ignorance
- Implemented Lifelink (Brion Stoutarm, Windwright Mage, some other cards ...)
- Zur the Enchanter and Yore-Tiller Nephilim fixes
- Intuition
- Muraganda Petroglyphs, since there's a lot of vanilla creatures in MTGForge right now
- Wort, Boggart Auntie
- Some "come into play bounce your own creature" type of cards: Cavern Harpy, Dream Stalker, Fleetfoot Panther, Horned Kavu, Shivan Wurm.
- Aluren, Imperial Recruiter, Maggot Carrier
- Wall of Blossoms, Jungle Barrier
- Bad Moon, Crusade
- Reya Dawnbringer
- Leaf-Crowned Elder, Wolf-Skull Shaman, Cunning Lethemancer, Dark Confidant and a bunch of other cards that trigger stuff during upkeep
- Treefolk Harbinger
- Nemata, Grove Guardian
- Bunch of mass nukes: Retribution of the Meek, Mass Calcify, Cleanse, Nature's Ruin, Perish...
-a lot of other cards

Some new known issues I've been trying to fix, but to no avail:

- Spawnwrithe, when blocked, doesn't trigger even though it deals combat damage through trample
- Aluren puts things into play, they don't get played
- Master of Etherium - does not give the +1/+1 to other Masters of Etherium in play.
- Ranger of Eos, doesn't really display on the stack what creatures are fetched as it comes into play.

Please post other bugs you might find!

Cool job Dennis....Ill have to check this out. Um Google has free storage... as do a few other similar sites. Google free hosting and see what comes up.

[DennisBergkamp]

Ohh thanks, I'll check that out later tonight Dinner time first!

[GandoTheBard]

Of course the pita part of this kind of update is you dont get the pictures because the names aren't in card-pictures.txt (and you need to know what url to get them from too) and then you need to add any cards you want to draft with to the draft rarities files by hand which with +100 cards gets a bit annoying...

It would be nice if there was a way to make these tasks simpler/less time consuming. I just spent 15 minutes just going through and finding which cards didnt have pictures. :/

Based on the above comments I went through the trouble of adding file names and urls to the card-pictures.txt file and using the internal function of MTGForge to download the images automatically only to discover that MTGForge thinks my broadband 3.0mps connection isnt connected to the internet half way through the downloading process...bummer...guess the rest will have to be grabbed by hand. Was hoping this would save everyone else some time compiling this list. But it doesn't work right anyway.

[GandoTheBard]

While you are adding stuff:
Other cards that bounce:
Stonecloaker
Dust Elemental
Crystal Shard
All of these would be awesome as would Desolation Giant which goes with the whole bounce idea
Tradewind Rider also would be quite nice
as would Opposition
and Deranged Hermit
and Thelonite Hermit.

well the list goes on I suppose but all the above would be pretty darned awesome.

[GandoTheBard]

Of course the OTHER bad thing about doing separated updates is that no two cards.txt agree. For instance....no darksteel ingots or obelisks in this version.

[DennisBergkamp]

Ah yes, this is very true. Actually, you could use the previous card-pictures.txt, because I think I pretty much left it untouched. Best would be if someone would send me an updated card-pictures.txt, which I could include in a future release.

As for the Darksteel Ingot etc. , yeah I realized I missed some of the vanilla creatures or lands from the previous cards.txt. Weird by the way, I did add Darksteel Citadel though I think. But I'll try and add them... Also, Rob's "RegenerateMe" keyword I don't think I have implemented yet, along with a lot of creatures that have the keyword.

EDIT: Gando, I guess you and Chris H made a bunch of updates to cards.txt, I don't have them in my 12-03 MTGForge either. Maybe you guys could send me your cards.txt versions? I'll merge them with mine and upload a new version.

By the way out of the cards you mentioned, these three would be easily possible:
Stonecloaker
Dust Elemental
Tradewind Rider

Desolation Giant would be fun, but kicker we still gotta implement, shouldn't be too difficult though.
Crystal Shard, echo and morph will be trickier

But I'll see what I can do

[GandoTheBard]

I put together a kinship deck (elves) to test it and it seems that if you have two kinship effects during upkeep only one triggers. Also ...there should be a confirmation on whether you want to reveal a card or not ...not that it matters.

[GandoTheBard]

Rhox's cost is W G U not W G B...corrected it in my cards.txt

[Chris H.]

EDIT: Gando, I guess you and Chris H made a bunch of updates to cards.txt, I don't have them in my 12-03 MTGForge either. Maybe you guys could send me your cards.txt versions? I'll merge them with mine and upload a new version.

I added a total of 87 cards. These are cards that require the current keywords. I also corrected the cost for Lay Waste and I corrected the Keyword pump misspelling for the Darkling Stalker card.

I added these 87 cards to the files:

card-pictures.txt
cards.txt
common.txt
rare.txt
uncommon.txt

The "Cards121008.zip" file contains a completed and replacement version for the five above files:

61 Cards, not too shabby even if I say so myself How did you generate this list of additions by the way?
Looking at that list though, I know Flowstone Charger doesn't work (I added it in back when I was playing around with "trigger-on-attack creatures" but never added any code for it) and I don't think Angel of Despair works correctly. Angel I'll fix sometime, easy fix.

I added a total of 87 cards. These are cards that require the current keywords. I also corrected the cost for Lay Waste and I corrected the Keyword pump misspelling for the Darkling Stalker card.

Awesome, thanks for your efforts, Gando
I'll download these and replace my current versions.

By the way, do you remember which kinship cards you used exactly ? I think I tested Wolf-Skull Shaman a lot, and even with multiple ones in play I seemed to get the right results. Maybe Winnower Patrol has some trouble...

[GandoTheBard]

Sorry should have been more specific. Winnower Patrol is indeed the culprit. Ill do some more testing later.

My original forge folder has jpgs for all 1030 cards in my version of the game. I unzipped your beta and copied over all of these jpgs to the beta folder. I then went card by card through the deck editor looking for cards that had no picture. It was fun but tedious.

[Chris H.]

Awesome, thanks for your efforts, Gando
I'll download these and replace my current versions

I am now in the process of adding the data from your new 61 cards to the five files and I will leave an attachment here when I am finished. That will give us a total of 1091 cards.
