Tor Wauki and Lady Caleria

I found two new creatures in CardFactory_Creatures, Tor Wauki and Lady Caleria. These two cards do not appear in cards.txt. Did someone forget to add these two cards to cards.txt? Then again, these two cards might not be ready for release.

Ah, I remember coding them a long time ago. Didn't know they weren't in cards.txt though... they must've gotten deleted somehow.

Yeah, resolving conflicts in cards.txt is not easy. :roll:

That's why I hardly ever commit my cards.txt. Just the other day when I added Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer and Kulrath Knight, cards.txt had already changed inside of only an hour... mostly from Chris updating for the SVars. (BTW, why did you move all those to the top when they're not new?)

When changes are made to cards.txt and they are placed at the top of file we are more likely to see and to accept them. If we do not scroll down far enough to find the old version to delete, we then get two copies and this shows up in the error exception window the next time that we launch forge.

From here it is easy to see which card needs to be deleted. This has happened a few times and I find it very easy to delete the extra copy. When we edit the cards.txt file and do not move this work to the top of file, we sometimes fail to move over the new work when we commit. We have lost some work this way in the past.

Ultimately, we may want to consider at some point breaking up the cards.txt file into many files, one card to a file. This may make it easier on us.
