Gatecrash Spoiler Season

[ArsenalNut]

Anyone interested in merging the Gatecrash branch back in sometime on Friday?

Do you want to wait for the mtg-data.txt to be updated before we merge?

I guess we can, but nothing particularly depends on mtg-data. The only thing that really uses it (that I'm aware of) is PerSetTracking. The SetInfo uses magiccards.info.

oracleScript.py uses it also but I don't really know what the oracle text is used for inside of Forge.

Edit: I tried to commit changes from a merge with the latest version of the Trunk and I keep getting asked for my authentication. Anybody else having issues committing changes?

Edit2: Nevermind, I just saw the message from Goblin Hero.

Hmm.. alright we can wait. I thought that was also using magiccards.info

I suspect that the oracle text is listed in the card detail panels of the various deck editors.

I had the same commit issue this morning but Goblin Hero fixed the issue and I was able to make a recent commit.

I would vote for a merge before the next snapshot build release. Some more testers for new scripts are always helpful.

I will do the merge tonight assuming I can commit things. I will post in this thread when its done so people know to stop committing changes to the branch.

What other files in Forge need to be updated to handle the new set?

setdata.txt and blocks.txt could be updated, but aren't needed to (to make anything work).

I have reintegrated the Gatecrash cardfolder into the Trunk. Please do not make any further commits to the Gatecrash branch. I did not update the blocks.txt for Gatecrash because I was sure how.

240 of 249 Gatecrash cards are implemented. The following cards are not yet implemented:

Ooze Flux
Simic Manipulator
Killing Glare
Aurelia's Fury
Bane Alley Broker (swordshine has script but its not working correctly)
Signal the Clans
Soul Ransom
Bioshift
Nightveil Specter

Soul Ransom:

| Open

Name:Soul Ransom
ManaCost:2 U B
Types:Enchantment Aura
Text:You control enchanted creature.
K:Enchant creature
A:SP$ Attach | Cost$ 2 U B | ValidTgts$ Creature | AILogic$ GainControl
A:AB$ Sacrifice | Cost$ Discard<2/Card> | AnyOpponent$ True | SacValid$ Self | SubAbility$ DBDraw | SpellDescription$ CARDNAME's controller sacrifices it, then draws two cards. Only any opponent may activate this ability.

SVar:RemAIDeck:True
SVar:Rarity:Rare

End

This script uses the parameter "AnyOpponent$ True". It changes the priorty of the subability DBDraw, giving the opponent two cards. If I change the subability parameter "Defined$ You" to "Defined$ Opponent", it works.

Edit: Nightveil Specter

A question: If a opponent's Nightveil Specter exiles my card, and I use Control Magic to control it, can I play those exiled cards?

The defined player for "You" is the player that activated the spell or ability. "Opponent" will work in a head to head but I am not sure it will work in a multiplayer game. It should have everybody but the activator draw two cards. For this card, we need a "SourceController" defined player so only the controller gets to draw two.

Edit: I added SourceController to defined players and added card.

Done

Yes, since the You here is a static ability and not attached to the trigger, so it always refers to the current controller.

Who put the Guild Packs together for us last time? Should we do that again for Gatecrash?
