Distribution effects

[moomarc]

I've added Spoils of War and converted the other counter distributers we have, but of those only committed Spoils of War and Contagion because one is new and the other already had remAIDeck flagged.

Does the amount of counters remembered by Bounty of the Hunt include counters also added by multipliers like Doubling Season? I assume it does seeing as it's a replacement effect so the source of the counters is still the BotH, but I'm not certain.

Yep, BotH should see it put on 6 counters (because of Doubling Season etc) and remove the same amount at EoT Cleanup (as best as it can).

Edit: Oh, Fiery Justice also doesn't seem to work. Can't select one of the players that have been targeted for damage distribution as the gain life target. So I can't even test whether the ruling would be applied about the player surviving if they would receive enough damage to die from the first part, then go above 0 life again due to the life gain part. Here's the script if anyone can think of an easy solution:

This looks like a bug with unique targets. I'll see if I can fix it up.

K Fiery Justice is in. The bug was introduced by the Target Same Controller pulling the already target objects outside the Unique Targets code block, and then passing that in. I'm not sure how long that's been in, but that would have caused other issues with cards that could target the same objects in the primary and sub abilities.

Thanks sol. I've also just checked in Bounty of the Hunt and Shambling Swarm. Wasn't too bad in the end, so you get your Alliances card afterall

Woooo.. Just took a look at the script. Did you try using the a similar altcost to Force of Will "SVar:AltCost:Cost$ PayLife<1> ExileFromHand<1/Card.Blue> | Description$ You may pay 1 life and exile a blue card from your hand rather than pay CARDNAME's mana cost." instead of a second SA line? I believe that's the standard way we handle alternate costs these days.

I must have just picked a bad example and then convinced myself that altCost only worked for permanents. I'll fix now.

I need to clean my local copy and don't want to lose these scripts. It's the remaining distribution effect script conversions using DividedAsYouChoose for counters. I never submitted these scripts because the AI support isn't added yet for distributeed counters/prevention so the scripts need the RemAIDeck flag, but in their current form however, do not have the flag so I don't want to potentially break quest decks.

It's on my list to implement a card data overlay in the userDir. I thought it would be useful for non-devs who are contributing cards. Would that be useful for you as well when you are implementing cards, or is it easier for you to just work directly in the svn tree? If it's useful for you, I can bump it up in the priority list.

I wouldn't bother bumping it up for me. It would be a convenience on occasion, but I think that I'll probably still end up developing directly in the svn tree generally to make sure I don't miss script fixes etc (and I tend to have a short, easily distracted memory). So I'll work in svn tree, then if nothing seems to be working I normally just dump it in my not-quite-working-scripts folder. This feature will likely be used predominantly for custom cards and half-implemented cards. So keep your current priorities I think. Thanks for the offer though. Its always appreciated.
