Added an optional ability to specify a specific set for cards spawned through Setup Game State.

Check out how the loading and saving of decks handles the set code. (Gui_DeckEditor)
Each card is listed as {CardName}|{SetCode}

Yep, I saw that, but for some reason the Java parser I wrote does not want to recognize the "|" symbol when splitting the string (it just returns an empty string when splitting using the "|"), so I had to resort to using a different custom symbol in the state setup files. If I (or someone else) figure out how to make it work with the "|" symbol, I'll definitely make it consistent, but for the time being it'll have to work with the "@" symbol in the state setup files. Amazingly enough, just changing split("@") into split("|") makes the code fail to work, while the one with @ (or pretty much any other symbol) works OK... Does anyone have any ideas why this might be the case?

nice work Agetian! This should really save up some time when scripting new cards. Any plans to extend this setup thing for Quest mode? That way the quest-quests become more dynamic and even normal opponents could have a starting battlefield as well.

Yep, actually I might extend this to a Puzzle mode or something like that, and I don't mind if anyone else adapts the code for other uses as well, such as Quest mode needs.

Check out the forge.card.abilityFactory class. On line 108 this class parses a string on the "|" character:

Code: Select all

String a[] = abString.split("\\|");

Thanks, that sure helped! I updated the code to use the pipe symbol now (|) for consistency.

ah, String.split uses regular expressions? if that's so, that explains why the pipe character needs to be escaped with backslashes.

Necroing a bit to inform people that I've extended this feature in a way that breaks set assignment for old state files.New named parameters could be added for things like attacking creatures and such.A complete rewrite could concievably allow attaching cards to eachother and the like.

*Extended Setup Game State - Added named parameters.
-Tapped = If this is True,well... the card is tapped, ofc.
-SummonSick = If this is True, the card has Summoning Sickness.
-Counters = A comma-separated list of counters on the card.
-Morphed = If this is True, the card is facedown. (It must have the morph keyword for this to work)
-Set = Like you previously set SetCode.If absent, the latest printing is used.
Ex. "AICardsInPlay=Aphetto Alchemist|Set:ONS|Tapped:True|SummonSick:True|Counters:P1P1,P1P1,M0M2|Morphed:True; Memnite"
