Collectible Card Game Headquarters

The new version of MAGE (1.0.2) was released on 11th of May 2013.

The download can be found here.

The release includes the Dragon's Maze cards (1 missing), 5966 variant and 9657 cards in total.

The list of latest changes here.


You can see which cards are already implemented using the card tracker.

[b]Attention: There now also is a 1.0.3 dev Version on the download site that can also be used to play on public server 2, that includes all newer fixes.

This release may need the memory increase to PermSize, etc. My Win 7 64 bit system with java 1.7 will not open the client at all. The server runs fine.

Hi,

I've tried running the past two releases on my Mac but have been unable to. I get the following:

./startClient.command
INFO [2013-05-11 22:44 [52:947]] NativeMethodAccessorImpl[AWT-EventQueue-0]: creating table 'version'

Awesome that u released another version of the game and it seems to be great so far except that I can't connect to any of the 2 public servers

Log seems so far normal.
Others reported also not getting mage to run on a mac.

Did you test with 32bit or 64bit Java version?
On Windows 7 so far I can say, I get it only to run stable under Java 32 bit version. Running it with a 64 bit Java it freezes very soon also if I raise the allocated memory sizes.

Restarted the 2nd public server but there seems to be some problems that make the server unstable.

I believe on a Mac Java 7+ is only 64 bit.

Is there a way to get it to run on a 64 bit version of Java?

One way to get it to run on a Mac is using Netbeans 7.3, pulling the desired release with git, build the release and run it. If you try to do it and need some assistence with Netbeans open a separate thread therefore.

I installed 32 bit java and pointed the client and server to it (in the bat files), but it still breaks when starting a game and the log prints out of memory errors

The java jre is 7

I am using 64bit windows 7

The client logs show the memory errors?
Which memory sizes are set in the ClientStartWin7.bat file?

If you enter "java -version" in the command window, what will be displayed?

I am having problems with running this on Mac, i would really appreciate if somebody could email me so that we could chat in more detail about this.

It isn't probably much help for you but I can confirm (from other sources), that the MAGE client isn't working with the java 64 bit JRE on MAC systems.

However it's running on MAC system if started from IDE (e.g. Netscape). So it's not clear what the reason for this problem is. Currently the only know solution is to use an IDE, git clone the MAGE respository to your system and build and run MAGE with the IDE. If you want to connect to the public server, you habe to select the appropriate TAG or commit SHA for the repository to be able to connect.

How can I run mage on an IDE? I have netbeans, but idk exactly how to use it

Java JDK SE must be installed also (exists also bundled with netbeans).

Netbeans -> Team -> Clone...
Enter Remote Repository: https://github.com/magefree/mage.git
Branch: Master
Destination Directory: A local directory

When the clone is created. You must Open the "Mage Root" Project.
RMB (Right Mouse Button) on MAGE Root -> Build
When build is finished you can
RMB on Mage Client -> Run (select mage.client.MageFrame)
RMB on Mage Server -> Run (select mage.server.Main)
