Talk about new cards here

Hello Clark, welcome back.

Welcome Back Clark!!!

We need to start modding Dotp 2012, I hope Gibbed release a temporary memory patch to bypass Wad check or anything that can load our custom Wads.

I hope a custom DLL injection method will do good.

Hi, thank you for your comment. A good news to you, in DOTP 2012 there is a new API to implement this function. You could get it from card Explore.

To other guys, long time no see . These days i played DOTP 2012 from some times, being happy to see some new API like playForExtraTurn() & some new modes in games. But unfortunately, PlaneWalker & some powerful ability like 'infec' are still not implement. Hope it would be released later.

That sounds good. Shall we create another SVN branch for DOTP 2012 mod?
Waiting for Gibbed's release then.

I managed to bypass the exe file for wad checks. What we need is a proper tool for repacking the wad files. Gibbed repack works but it has some few bugs.

Here's a preview:

About DOTP Custom DLC MODs...
Many cards have the negligent code, some even change registers of others cards. For comparison I will result my code for the "SCROLL RACK" :
(Doesn't change registers)

<ACTIVATED_ABILITY tag="SCROLL_RACK_RULE_1" layer="0">
<COST type="Mana" cost="{1}" />
<COST type="TapSelf" />
<PLAYTIME>
local controller = Object():GetController()
local prom = {}
while #prom &lt; CountCardsInHand( controller ) do
prom[#prom + 1] = "SCROLL_RACK_CHOOSEASIDE"
end
MayChooseNFromHand( controller, controller, prom )
</PLAYTIME>
<PRE_EFFECT>
if Object():GetNumberOfTargets() &gt; 0 then
local prom = {}
while Object():GetNthTargetCard( #prom ) ~= nil do
prom[#prom + 1] = "SCROLL_RACK_CHOOSECARDS"
if Object():GetController():Library_GetTop() ~= nil then
Object():GetController():Library_GetTop():PutInHand()
end
end
for i=0, #prom-1 do
Object():GetNthTargetCard( i ):PutInLibrary( 0 )
end
LookAtTopNCardsOfLibrary( Object():GetController(), prom )
end
</PRE_EFFECT>
<EFFECT>
for i=0, Object():GetNumberOfTargets() - 1 do
Object():GetNthTargetCard( i ):PutInLibrary( 0 )
end
</EFFECT>
<AI_AVAILABILITY behaviour="InResponseOrBeforeMyUntap" />
</ACTIVATED_ABILITY>

And here an original code, from DLC MODs:

<ACTIVATED_ABILITY tag="SCROLL_RACK_RULE_1" layer="0">
<COST type="Mana" cost="{1}" />
<COST type="TapSelf" />
<EFFECT>
Object():Register_Set( 1, 0 )
Object():Register_Set( 0, 1 )
</EFFECT>
<AI_AVAILABILITY behaviour="InResponseOrBeforeEitherUntap"/>
</ACTIVATED_ABILITY>

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY tag="_COMMON_BLANKLINE" forced_skip="1" layer="0" zone="any">
<TRIGGER value="ABILITY_RESOLVED">
return ( SelfTriggered() and Object():Register_Get(0) &gt; 0 )
</TRIGGER>
<PRE_EFFECT>
Object():GetFilter():Clear()
Object():GetFilter():SetZone( ZONE_HAND )
Object():GetFilter():SetPlayer( Object():GetPlayer() )
Object():GetFilter():May()
ChooseTarget( "SCROLL_RACK_CHOOSEASIDE" )
</PRE_EFFECT>
<EFFECT>
if (Object():GetTargetCard() ~= nil) then
Object():GetTargetCard():Register_Object_Set( 5, Object() )
Object():GetTargetCard():RemoveFromGame()
Object():Register_Inc(1)
else
for i=0, Object():Register_Get(1)-1 do
if Object():GetPlayer():Library_GetTop() ~= nil then
Object():GetPlayer():Library_GetTop():PutInHand()
end
end
Object():Register_Set( 0, 0 )
Object():Register_Set( 4, 1 )
end
</EFFECT>
</TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY layer="0" zone="Any" internal="1">
<TRIGGER value="ABILITY_RESOLVED">
return ( SelfTriggered() and Object():Register_Get(4) == 1 )
</TRIGGER>
<FILTER>
return RemovedFromGame() and Subject():Register_Object_Get( 5 ) == Object()
</FILTER>
<EFFECT>
if Subject() ~= nil then
Subject():PutInLibrary( 0 )
Subject():Register_Object_Clear( 5 )
end
Object():Register_Set( 4, 2 )
</EFFECT>
</TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY tag="_COMMON_BLANKLINE" forced_skip="1" layer="0" >
<TRIGGER value="ABILITY_RESOLVED">
return ( SelfTriggered() and Object():Register_Get(4) == 2 )
</TRIGGER>
<PRE_EFFECT>
Object():GetFilter():Clear()
Object():GetFilter():SetZone( ZONE_LIBRARY )
Object():GetFilter():SetPlayer( Object():GetPlayer() )
if Object():Register_Get(1) &gt; 0 then
Object():GetFilter():SetPortion( Object():Register_Get(1) )
ChooseTarget( "SCROLL_RACK_CHOOSECARDS" )
end
</PRE_EFFECT>
<EFFECT>
if (Object():GetTargetCard() ~= nil and Object():Register_Get(1) &gt; 0) then
Object():GetTargetCard():PutInLibrary( Object():Register_Get(1)-1 )
Object():Register_Dec(1)
else
Object():Register_Set( 4, 0 )
end
</EFFECT>
</TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

The original code is quite efficient, but doesn't maintain attack to the registers from other cards and leads to errors.

That's great info, thanks nabeshin.

I'm looking at card creation in 2012 - got a few customs done as testing blocks as I learn the xml format etc.
Many thanks to Kev (the 2012Editor) and the Gibbed tools, those are working fine.

I'm sticking on creating a 'Hermetic Study' - enchant creature, creature gains 'tap to deal 1 pt of damage to target player or creature'
I can figure out how to get the card to enchant a creature, but I can't figure out how to then add the 'cost=tap' and the ability to the creature.

I've tried playing with triggered ability, activate ability, and even static ability, but so far, the card is fine until it enchants a creature then it dies as in, the game crashes. Any suggestions or leads on which way I should be delving in deeper on it? It was supposed to be a building block into predatory instinct, which is similar but stronger.

Also - where would I post a bug found in Kev's 2012 mod? (tried to artifact type to an existing enchantment so I could steal it and crashed the game - realized after that 'target permanent' doesn't mean enchantments lol)

SUPERTYPE_BASIC

if Object():GetTargetCard() ~= nil then
local card = Object():GetTargetCard()
if card:GetSuperType():Test( SUPERTYPE_BASIC ) ~= 0 then
card:GetController():DealDamage(2, Object())
end
card:Destroy()
end

[drugskill]

Was the ability Cascade for DotP 2010 finally coded with success? I would love to create cards with this ability.

Would also love to have some code template for "If a spell or ability an opponent controls causes you to discard "X Card", put it onto the battlefield instead of putting it into your graveyard.". I would love to create Obstinate Baloth and Wilt-Leaf Liege. I just need that code to finish Wilt-Leaf Liege.

[remosewa]

I'm trying to make a 'grand architect' card, and of course, the difficult ability to implement is the: "Tap an untapped blue creature you control: Add {{2}} to your mana pool. Spend this mana only to cast artifact spells or activate abilities of artifacts."

The only way I can think of doing this is to first have an activated ability that will allow you to tap any blue untapped creatures that you control. Add two random counters to 'grand architect' for each one selected and tap selected creatures. Then add a triggered ability that the last ability will call and have you select any land cards and add a counter for each one selected. Finally select a card from your hand with converted mana cost <= number of counters and then clear the counters and play that card.

Problems I have with above method:
(1) It's a bit messy.
(2) If they tap all these creatures, and then realize they cant afford a card still, then there is no way to untap all the things they tapped.
(3) It will not behave correctly if there are other spells which affect the affects the manapool.

Anyone have a better idea?

[sadlyblue]

how about the activated abilities reduced the casting cost for artifacts by 2, each time it's activated. then, when the player casts an artifact increase it again.
either way, its not easy to code.

[remosewa]

Good idea, I ended up having to do a mixture of the two ideas so that I could still check for when an artifact spell was played and then decrease the cost. I'm having some problems with the ability though. I'm throwing in wish counters and then trying to remove them when either an artifact spell is played or at the beginning of the next step, however neither seem to be triggering. I was wondering if anyone could tell me why.

nvm, I figured it out. I know I had at least one syntax error, and I messed around with some other things until I got it working. Card works perfectly now =).
