I'm going to bring up this topic here as well, since I'm not sure which forum is right for this question.

I'm wondering if it's possible for users to easily add opponents to go up against in quest mode. I've got about 6 of my evil creations that I want to be able to go up against in quest mode, and I'm not sure that the new methods allow me to add what I want. The decks I want to add are my Dragon deck, my Sliver deck, my Multiple Ways To Win deck, my discard deck, my Goblin Horde deck, and my Burning Elves deck. The deck files are in the attached zip if there aren't easy instructions for adding them. For the ones where there are multiple versions, the highest numbered ones are the most recently updated.

Adding a little bit to that... Will putting the decks in the /quest/decks folder allow them to come up, or is there coding that has to be done? I remember that there used to be the easy, medium and hard text files, but those went away some time back. I'd kind of like to be able to make my own opponents available as well. *shrugs*

You should be able to put your evil files right into the quest decks folder.

Have a look at a quest deck or two, you'll see there's metadata that holds the easy/medium/hard. Decide if you want your deck to be a duel or a challenge, and you're on your way.

Also, you can now put in starting cards and tokens for AI and/or human, following the pattern in the deck files that use extra cards like that.

I'll be putting some work into the Quest screen soon. Your comment gives me an idea - perhaps a "Guest Sorcerer" area or similar. Also, quest decks will soon be available to play in Constructed mode.

You should also place the deck files into your /res/decks/ folder and load them one by one into the constructed mode deck editor. Look at the column labeled "AI".

Cards in the decks containing a label of "AI" should be replaced with a card that does not contain this label. These cards can not be used by the computer at all or will not be used to good effect. As such, they will make the computer a weaker opponent.

This is good news.

Would you be interested in some re-organization at that time?

It might be nice to move the decks with the "[duel]" tag out of the /res/quest/decks/ folder and into a new folder, maybe named /res/AI-PreCon-Decks/

This would allow us to separate the duel decks from the decks that have the "[quest]" tag. This separation might be helpful.

Excellent. :twisted:

It would be nice if you could also edit quest decks without having the editor replace all of the quest-centric tags, if that's ever within the scope of what you're doing.

There's a separate quest editor that does just that, at present. Redoing all of the deck editors (whose UIs...well...need a lot of improvement) is a "big task" and is on the list, but the current timeline for that is maybe in 1 month.

This innocent comment was actually (vehemently?) discussed (argued?) about a few months ago, when updates were being made to the quest deck format. The problem was, should metadata be the same for all decks, and what should it hold. So, if there was a can-of-worms smiley, I'd put it here.

EDIT - and @timmermac is completely right, Notepad or similar will work too

As you know, I love organization :rolleyes:

, so yes, would be interested - and I've got some plans of me own. This will be done fairly soon.

EDIT
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { System.err.println("*washes hands*"); }

EDIT 2
Ooooh that's good. New sig!

There is a way to edit the decks... outside of Forge. Your basic text editor is capable of opening the deck files and letting you add/subtract cards.

Fast-paced action games can significantly improve reaction time and reflexes. This can be beneficial in situations that require quick responses, such as driving or sports.
