Ok, thanks for the info!

I committed all the remaining files that I could find in this thread to the FRF branch. I tried to only commit the final versions (and I did not override any of the files already committed to the branch). Please note that I did it mechanically for the most part, so extensive testing and verification is welcome. If I missed anything, please also let me know.

EDIT: I tried parsing the Oracle texts using OracleScraper and OracleScript in online mode but couldn't do it... is it because the Oracle for FRF hasn't been officially published yet or something? I wiped all the old Oracle texts in r28603 and wanted to get the new ones using the auto script, but that failed. If I did something wrong feel free to revert r28603 or to add proper auto Oracle texts if I was just doing something wrong.

Thanks a lot!

Agetian: Someone, I think, mentioned that the script runs on mtg-data.txt? That wasn't updated yet.

Also, can you please test Artificial Evolution with the Siege cycle? I don't understand how exactly Artificial Evolution works, but I'm worried it might try to change the word "Dragons" on these cards (which is actually a new concept called "anchor word", unrelated to creature types).

FRF branch is merged. Remaining cards:
Fate Reforged (185 cards) ... 92.97% (13 cards missing: Abzan Runemark | Jeskai Runemark | Write into Being | Dark Deal | Ghastly Conscription | Noxious Dragon | Sultai Runemark | Arcbond | Friendly Fire | Hungering Yeti | Wild Slash | Arashin War Beast | Winds of Qal Sisma)
I'll commit the runemarks asap.

I don't think it should since the scripts Animate from a generic choice.

Thanks Agetian and swordshine for svn aspects of things yesterday/today. I should have some free time to look into some of these more complex cards today.

Well, Runemarks are here, and Noxious Dragon and Hungering Yeti were taken as well, I think, though I didn't work on those.♠

According to the Wiki you claimed Hungering Yeti? Kapoue claimed Noxious Dragon, I don't see either in this thread.

Hm, let me see. It seems Hungering Yeti was my mistake; The only similar card I could find is Dragon Grip and I can't adapt the code since it seems to use hard-coded condition.

Noxious Dragon, on the other hand, seems easy enough.

Code: Select all

Name:Noxious Dragon
ManaCost:4 B B
Types:Creature Dragon
PT:4/4
K:Flying
T:Mode$ ChangesZone | Origin$ Battlefield | Destination$ Graveyard | ValidCard$ Card.Self | Execute$ TrigDestroy | TriggerController$ TriggeredCardController | OptionalDecider$ You | TriggerDescription$ When CARDNAME is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may destroy target creature with converted mana cost 3 or less.

Yea it uses mtg-data.txt. I should have some free time either tonight or tomorrow, and I'll see if I can migrate these scripts off mtg-data and instead use http://mtgjson.com/ who seems to update much faster.

Alright I used mtgjson to generate Oracles for FRF with some amount manual work. That way anyone who wants to use Forge tonight for some FRF playtesting can actually see what the cards do in the deck editor. At some point, I'll update the scripts to be fully automated with the new files.

For those of you interested to test the FRF intro decks in current Forge snapshot, here are the 5 ones
Note : at that point, Surprise Attack is the only of those intro decks featuring a card that isn't yet coded in Forge ( Arashin War Beast ) all the other ones are playable.
Still included it so you can just replace that card with another roughly equivalent to still have fun with the deck to playtest FRF.

Oh, gotcha, thanks for the clarification (and for the mtgjson updates for FRF)! By the way, what's the "online mode" for in those scripts? (I thought it could be used to generate Oracles for sets that are not yet part of mtg-data.txt, at least so I thought from superficially scanning the scripts' code, but it looks like that wasn't the intention or the mode doesn't work, at least that way...)

The online mode scrapes from magiccards.info when you pass the set code in. Unfortunately, he's been a bit slow updating his DB recently too, otherwise that would have been fine.

r28636: I committed Fate Reforged and Khans of Tarkir intro decks (and also the KTK event deck) that are currently supported by Forge for use in Quest mode. Thanks to Fizanko for the Forgified deck lists.

It looks like we are one card short in KTK and one card short in FRF in order to be able to support all five intro decks as of right now (Rakshasa Vizier in KTK, Arashin War Beast in FRF). If anybody can code those cards in I'll be able to add the remaining two intro decks to the pool as well.
