Forge Beta: 09-24-2012 ver 1.2.14

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

11188 cards in total.


Multiple keyboard shortcut support added for CTRL and SHIFT keys. Shortcuts using ALT will not work and won't be supported. Keyboard shortcut system should be complete.

The Forge sealed deck mode has undergone significant changes. You can find these in the 1.2.14 beta and later versions. Instead of a single sealed deck match, you can now choose a 1-5 round gauntlet-style tournament where you will face increasingly difficult (probably) opponent decks. You can also choose to use starter packs instead of boosters in the block mode, choose to use 3-12 boosters instead of the default 6 in the full cardpool and custom (cube) modes, and so on.

Perhaps the most notable changes to the sealed deck mode are related to "fantasy blocks" and the greatly increased flexibility you have when you are building your own blocks.

After taking a well needed break our UI dev has fixed and tweaked a few UI issues that people noticed and reported in the past. The long-standing Map/Zeppelin bug should be OK now. Just one problem, when the Zeppelin is launched, the panel doesn't refresh automatically. This is probably related to the problem where the images don't draw "the first time around". Anyway, the back-end works as it should.

All modern legal sets are now at least 85% complete.

We recieved several reports of a bug which caused a crash report with the following content "java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "X"". This should now be fixed.

--

On several occasions people have noticed that the forge deck editor and/or quest mode card shop would not open or display. We have also received reports that some of the tabs/panels in the deck editor are missing. Try deleting the file named "editor_preferred.xml" which is found in the "res/layouts" folder. This should force forge to then use the "editor_default.xml" file instead.

Several people have noticed that the cards displayed on the battlefield will fail to be displayed when the number of cards on the battlefield increases. Maximizing the human panel can help to re-display the cards.

Some time was spent turning the static ETB triggers into the proper ETB replacement effects they should be, mainly to interact correctly with eachother. This work is not yet finished. As a result there is currently some inconsistencies with "Enters the battlefield with counters" (Not incredibly noticeable).

It seems like the front face of double faced cards aren't triggering properly, but the back face and single faced cards are.

A recent contribution to the code base should fix some of the bugs that people noticed with cloning type abilities. At this time there are two remaining issues that we hope will be addressed in the near future.

1. Leave play triggers don't work correct for clones.
2. Copies of cards that setup Zone Change triggers via addComesIntoPlayCommand and addLeavesPlayCommand will not function correctly.

The work on the new UI is now finished. We should not expect major changes or major additions to the UI. Future betas may include a few minor bug fixes to the UI. And we may also include a few minor tweaks.

We are now using a different system for our snapshot and beta releases. Unfortunately, this new system builds a jar file which does not accurately display the SVN revision number.

Forge may not be fully java 7 compatible at this time. We recommend that people downgrade to java 6.

The Forge archive includes a readme.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.


Many people helped with this version. A special thank you goes out to them. (Attempted to list names alphabetically):

Lots of lands are missing in the deck editor by the search engine.

[victorvndoom]

how can i add lands in a constructed deck when you cant find any land in the editor

when comes java 7 on the todo list ?
I keep asking it because my computer keep asking to update it and then i cant load the forge editor

[skibulk]

Magic Album catalogs 12,680 *unique* card titles. By that number forge has rules support for 88% of all cards ever printed. Is that accurate?

[victorvndoom]

not all cards can be implemented in the forge engine, dont know it still remains the same , it is the same technology that doesnt make java 7 possible in forge i think

[saturnine]

It appears that the search function in the Deck Editor is broken. Searching by Type is now impossible, and searching by Title gets you the card you want maybe 50% of the time? I have no idea how it's working anymore.

[friarsol]

I believe there are over 13k unique cards, and yes we have over 11.1k of them. We only have 3 or 4 sets that are less than 80%. I can post the Set Info breakdown later tonight (Unless someone beats me to it)

I'd like to see the breakdown if its easy to generate! Thanks.

Are cards missing because they have yet to be manually added or because they cannot be added as a result of incompatibilities?

I can post the Set Info breakdown later tonight (Unless someone beats me to it)

I'd like to see the breakdown if its easy to generate! Thanks.

Are cards missing because they have yet to be manually added or because they cannot be added as a result of incompatibilities?

Not entirely sure how it works, but cards that redirect the targets of spells like Misdirection, Deflection, Swerve, and Spellskite haven't been implemented because the devs haven't figured out a way to code it AFAIK. The same should apply to all those cards that remain unimplemented, with a good example being Sorin Markov and Karn Liberated, whose ults seem to be impossible to implement (would love to have those planeswalkers though).

[friarsol]

Are cards missing because they have yet to be manually added or because they cannot be added as a result of incompatibilities?

At this point in time, all cards added to Forge are scripted. I'm sure there are cards that exist that could be scripted right now, but there aren't too many of those. Most of the ones that are remaining just require additional coding to support keywords, or abilities.

We currently don't support Banding and the "prevent next source of your choice" that you see on Circles of Protection, which is like 100 cards between them. Basically any effect that's fairly unique hasn't been scripted because the effort to get that one card may not be worth it to the few people donating their time to the project (such as Equinox or Ice Cauldron)

We do have a wiki with some instructions on how to script cards (It's a bit out of date, but still has a ton of info), but really the best way to script cards is find an existing cards that is similar to the one you want to script. Try to figure out what it's doing, test it (a lot) and ask questions on the Developer's Forum in the Card Development Questions thread.

Edit: Fixing Horrendous English, and repeated phrasing.

[Sloth]

It appears that the search function in the Deck Editor is broken. Searching by Type is now impossible, and searching by Title gets you the card you want maybe 50% of the time? I have no idea how it's working anymore.

I can confirm this. There is something wrong with these two filters. It looks like the string is converted to lower case, but is compared case sensitive.

EDIT: Fixed! Thanks saturnine.

With the effect of Enduring Ideal in play i get this error at my next upkeep:

Fixed! Thanks Bundy.

The only thing that is incorrect in this breakdown is counting Helm of Obedience (which I'm working on) but it's not actually in the latest release.

[Doublestrike]

The long-standing Map/Zeppelin bug should be OK now. Just one problem, when the Zeppelin is launched, the panel doesn't refresh automatically. This is probably related to the problem where the images don't draw "the first time around".

Small edit here, actually Map/Zep should be working 100%, and images should be updating just fine.

[Zirbert]

1.2.14 (and also tested in 1.2.13, for that matter) -

I can't cast Gravepurge, Cruel Revival, or Gaea's Blessing (targetting myself) if there are no creature cards in my graveyard. I should be able to, since zero satisfies the targetting conditions of "any number" or "up to X". I suspect the same issue will exist with other "up to X targets" cards, but those are the only three I've tested so far.
