Card Creation Request Thread

[thefiremind]

An engine that supports all Un-cards (and you didn't pick the simplest one) would need to be infused with real magic... The DotP engine has very strong limitations, and your request makes me think that you are highly overrating its capabilities.

[castled]

yes, I found that card out just in a coincidence... It makes me think about those cards that have modification of other's rules.

otherwise, I just edited the BLACK LOTUS 600 which Whizard posted early in this topic. I havnt finished my deck, so have no test about the function (also I donnt know the code of 2013 at all), then I just make its face changed to my preference.

how hard I upload something from my place ORZ

could you help me to make the TOLARIAN ACADEMY ?
My deck is close to be finished, except it...

I would love to see someone try and code Ashnod's Coupon into the DotP engine. (At that point I will remove the errata and provide free drinks for everyone [AI Pays]. )

Though R&D's Secret Lair could be coded if and only if everyone coded cards based on both the Oracle Text and the text as worded on the card with an internal check to see if R&D's Secret Lair is in play and switch between versions based on that. However, no one is going to do that much work and you're definitely not going to get modders to start coding both the Oracle Abilities and the abilities as worded on the card (coding cards is hard enough as is without trying to make it harder).

I think it maybe work in this way, trigger or activaty ability in your phase, and brings out some window to make choice after work, you choose some target card.
the condition is, those target cards' contain something like type\color\race, and you can choose to change them.
but the main problem is, how to identify they contain type\color\race, and which choice will come out later, and how to replace it.
maybe type\color\race is still not a standalone subject in DOTP2013, hmn... however, when I saw the OMNATH_LOCUS_OF_MANA , I'm really surprised it can be done, because KEV ever told me it impossibility in DOTP2012

I think it maybe work in this way, trigger or activaty ability in your phase, and brings out some window to make choice after work, you choose some target card.
the condition is, those target cards' contain something like type\color\race, and you can choose to change them.
but the main problem is, how to identify they contain type\color\race, and which choice will come out later, and how to replace it.

Huh? I don't have the slightest clue what you are trying to say here.

maybe type\color\race is still not a standalone subject in DOTP2013, hmn... however, when I saw the OMNATH_LOCUS_OF_MANA , I'm really surprised it can be done, because KEV ever told me it impossibility in DOTP2012

Omnath, Locus of Mana can ONLY be done when ONLY using mana tokens. If you try to do it with regular lands or auto-tap mana sources then it won't work because we have no mana pool, and we can't control mana except through mana tokens which presents its own set of problems.

Although if we still don't have a mana pool or at least much improved MANA_ABILITY support in DotP 2014 then after I update my Deck Builder the first thing I'm going to do is re-write all base game cards to use a manual Mana system (using tokens if I have to).

I would like to request these cards:
Orchard Warden
Raking Canopy
Reach of Branches
Surgical Extraction
Demon of Death's Gate
Seizan, Perverter of Truth
Near-Death Experience

And as always, thanks in advance.

well, I'll try to make some codes like DOTP2012, to make an easy understanding.(my EN is bad )

Code: Select all

<ACTIVATED_ABILITY tag="errata" layer="0" auto_skip="2" IN_YOUR_TUREN="1" >
<FILTER>
"some characteristic is in target's FILTER, such as LAND, eg--destory target land"
</FILTER>
<PLAYTIME>
ChooseTargetCard()
</PLAYTIME>
<PREFFECT>
if land\creature\enchanment\permanent exist, the effect1
if red\blue\green\white\black\colorless exist, the effect2
......
</PREEFFECT>
<EFFECT>
effect1___ brings out a window to choose land\creature\enchanment\permanent
effect2___ brings out a window to choose red\blue\green\white\black\colorless
......

target card's FILTER change to the CHOICE.
</EFFECT>
</ACTIVATED_ABILITY>

This's the code of D10, not D12, and I still don't understand what you mean, maybe I'm too stupid.

[castled]

er...
so ,in short words: I want to ask, is it possible to modify cards' rules in game? how can you make that work?
ignore the old one and clone? or...... make some card like <Fork> is possible?

well, I think the most cards work in this way -- gain or lose ability, then ,how about to replace them with the same kind ability , or same kind Filter?

it maybe a magical dream

No you can't dynamically change card rules in play. Cards will only work in the way they are coded.

or...... make some card like <Fork> is possible?

Fork is possible to make using CopySpellWithNewTargets(). Though some of the rulings are impossible to deal with.

well, I think the most cards work in this way -- gain or lose ability, then ,how about to replace them with the same kind ability , or same kind Filter?

Gaining abilities is easy (GrantAbility()), losing all abilities is easy (LoseAllAbilities()), losing specific abilities can be done only by the card that grants it (Stop granting the ability).

Replacing abilities can't really be done (it can be faked by the card that grants the ability to replace, by stopping the original grant and granting a different one).

You can't replace filters those are hard-coded in each ability that uses them. Though if they were coded in a certain way they can be altered (if they refer to an ObjectDC register for something).
