Dark Ascension spoiler season

[friarsol]

Since "Cast from" seems to be a thing in Dark Ascension we should take the time to nail down recording of the location spells were cast from. It should be easy enough: When an SA moves to the Stack, if it's a spell, we can overwrite the SVar "CastFrom" to the string version of that Zone (Hand, Graveyard, Exile, Library, etc.) or it can be a new variable of Zone type.

Either way it would be accessible from there.

[Hellfish]

I actually have code in place for that in my private build. I'm using it to implement Rebound too. Granted the location is not saved in an SVar, but still..

...here's a mini how-to in Eclipse...

Quite helpful - I added this to the dev wiki: http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/Forge:How_to_Get_Started_Developing_Forge#Branches

[ArsenalNut]

If I claim a card, script it, then check it into the DKA branch, should I still post it here?

I say still post them for now to maximize how much visibility they get.

I had to add EYEBALL to the counters enumeration list for this card.

DKA splash

I've created a themed skin for when we release the Dark Ascension beta. I've modified my layout so please test in your games and let me know if I should change anything. Play areas are borderless, but I've left a slight overlay to help distinguish sections.

Also attached the splash image because the game loads so quickly these days that you can't appreciate it properly.

[Doublestrike]

Boss. Nice work moomarc!

Eventually I'll get all the buttons into the sprite (like the "start" one) to make it that much better. Mana symbols, and a few other things, also.

Glad you like it We should also move the logo into the skins folder so that we can use alternatives in different skins.

I would make the PutCounter subability

Code: Select all

SVar:DBPutCounter:DB$PutCounter | ConditionCheckSVar$ X | ConditionSVarCompare$ EQ1 | CounterNum$ 1 | CounterType$ P1P1


This avoids possible interactions with CounterAdded triggers and also doesn't call the drawback resolve method unnecessarily.

That was the first method I tried, but the subability fired regardless. That's why I used this method used by Lyzolda, the Blood Witch and Ebon Praetor. Any ideas?

Edit: Nevermind. Just realized you used ConditionCheckSVar whereas I'd used the normal CheckSVar. I'll fix the script as well as the two I mentioned above. Thanks for the help.

Edit 2: I used ConditionSVarCompare$ GE1 instead of EQ1 just in case there's ever a replacement effect where if you would sacrifice a creature, sacrifice another one as well.

@Hellfish: I saw you just added the CastFrom... checks. Thanks! Now the blue spoilers can get some love too.

[Hellfish]

You're welcome.
Blue needs more cards spoiled, if anything. Come on,Wizards! *shakes fist*

EDIT:Btw, Marc, if you're still looking at token pics, I just added Nomad's Assembly if that needs anything.

I believe conditionals in subabilities was something that got fixed with in the last 6 months. I bet there are other older cards with "if" clauses that could be updated.
