Implementing ante

[slapshot5]

It looks like I have the one cards in my cardPool, but they don't seem to have the New flag.

This is now fixed in SVN.

Also, it would be nice if the card information was displayed in the reward panel.[/quote]
Dumb question: Is it currently display in the reward panel? I know it's just text right now. Maybe as a QuestWinLoseCardViewer?

It just displays the card name, but I generally have no idea what these random cards are. Formatted in the same way Random Rares and Reward Boosters makes the most sense to me.

Thanks Slapshot. Now that you are starting to add ante cards, we should do something about res/blockdata/formats since it has all the ante cards listed there as banned (which they are) but we should separate the purely banned cards from the banned because of ante cards.

If you are playing for ante, then you can also gain the ante cards as part of the the rewards (for Vintage) for Legacy we may want to decide which of the ante cards would still be banned (Contract from Below definitely would be, the others I'm not sure if they are that powerful.)

What kind of mode is this for? Quest?

[friarsol]

Yep, these formats are used in Quest mode for the reward Booster Pack.

It looks like after a Quest game, only the card won in the last game via Ante is marked as New (the card won in the first win does not)

Hmm. Confirmed. Not a real easy fix. I'll look at it this weekend.

I'd love to see this fixed. Quite a few times I won something nice in the first match, but after the second match I only remembered that I had won something nice in the first match, but not what

Ante won't work.
As you add a card to Ante zone, you materialize it as forge.Card. After match you try to remove the card that is converted back into a CardPrinted. The problem is that CardDb.instance().getCard() will return you the first non-foil occurrence of the card from the first edition that contains it. (the returned CardPrinted can be unequal to the one you've materialized)

If inventory stores a different version of that card, then the remove() argument won't match the map of the card player owns, and thus the card won't be removed.

[friarsol]

It seems to work for me and has been in for a little while now. It's successfully removing cards I lose, even ones that have a bunch of sets (Birds of Paradise)

[slapshot5]

Ante will work and does work. I'm using the getCard(String name, String set) for this, so the sets this should not be a problem. Maybe there is a bug with foil cards?

Max - is there some kind of fix you think should happen here?

[Max mtg]

it won't work when a foiled card is put into ante, or when its artindex > 1
Take a foiled land #3 for instance.

Adding isFoil and artIndex fields to Card might help.
