However, now I cant load the mana symbols. It keeps going through the process, gets to 657/657 and then never finishes. I go to my plugin/images file and see the symbols folder (not a zip file and pref. has it clicked to save as zip file), I click on it and see small, medium and large folders. When I click on the folder, I see a gif with a picture of a cone, square and cirlcle. Im assuming the pictures never loaded and are stuck. How can I fix this problem? I have moved the folders, deleted just the gifs, and renamed folder. No luck

So the guy after my post gets a response, yet I havent gotten a response on my issue?

Did you check to see if any images are missing from your client once it is started up? Note that the symbols downloader does not exit on its own. You have to hit the X to close the window.

There is a memory leak in the mad AI - specifically the SimulatedNode class. The game field references a simulated copy of the Game and the customData field in the Game class is set to be a SimulatedNode.

This creates a looping reference that the GC does not clean up. The Mad AI creates a few simulated games this way every priority (to test the new min/max values for each possible action)

I discovered it when working on my MonteCarlo search AI and I was the mad AI as a base class as a default (mostly because the Computer Player AI throws errors during attacking and blocking) Since MonteCarlo simulates hundreds of games every priority these seriously added up. Once I stopped extending ComputerPlayer7 and the SimulatedPlayer the memory leak went away. I was sure it was my code for the longest time before I did reasearch on how to do a Heap Dump and discovered the real culprit!

I've tried clearing the customData field before creating each new game, but that didn't seem to do the trick (I'm not sure where the base class sets it)

You will notice Mage_Ai project on the magefree github site. This was BetaSteward's project that has apparently been abandoned for now. You may find some interesting things in there.

Define 'disabled'? It's still one of the options when you download the client and server. - Human, mad, and draftbot.
EDIT: Nevermind, you edited your post. But,yes, the mad AI is still there and it has a memory leak.

I'm not familiar enough with gitHub to be understand what you mean by 'project'. There is a MCTS (that someone else pointed me to) but it threw all kinds of errors and I found it completely unusable.

Song of the Dryads and Blood Moon interact in a weird way: I enchanted my opponents Blood Moon with Song of the Dryads. The result was: All non-basic lands were still mountains, and couldn't be tapped for mana any more.

I'm pretty sure the Song should just overwrite the Blood Moon and all the lands should work normally.


Edit: And another bug with Emrakul, the Promised End
First time i cast it. I got control over my opponents turn, and wanted to kill him by tapping his 2 Ancient Tombs and then playing a fetchland from his graveyard, he had 2x Crucible of Worlds in play. I couldn't do either, tried multiple times. Tapping the tombs didnt work, when i tried to play the land i got the usual prompt with 2 Crucibles in play (so i didn't mix up the priority), but the land never entered the battlefield.
Edit 2: As it worked in a different game, i might still have mixed up the priority.

And while i'm at it, this bug is older (last version, encountered it a week ago), but i doubt it's fixed: I had a Gitrog Monster in play. During my upkeep with the sacrifice trigger on the stack my opponent bounced it with Karakas. I let that resolve and then of course didn't sacrifice a land to the Gitrog. Then (i realized that a few turns later, but that must have triggered it) i had the Gitrog Monster in hand and in the graveyard (i only play one, couldn't be a different card). Trying to cast the one in hand didn't work.

Not sure why the UI is bugging out. I did a forum search and can't seem to find anyone else with this issue. The picture is of the ui while it is bugging. It keeps changing randomly.

Screenshot is attached.

Crop Sigil won't let me activate at opponent's end step with delirium. Not sure whether it's timing, targeting or some other bug, but I can't activate ability.

Edit: Tried activating at various other times as well to no avail. I have creatures in the GY, no lands though.

Edit 2: It worked finally once I had a land in the graveyard. Programming seems to require both legal targets to activate, rather than none ("up to" language, often used on Planeswalker's + abilities).

Here's something else though - When I did finally get it to work, it triggered two instances of bloodbriar. Now, the Crop Sigil was sacrificed, but there were no bloodbriars on the battlefield when this went down, so I'm not sure why two of them (checked the log, the triggers referred to two unique IDs) triggered when it was Sacrificed.

escplan9: Bloodbriar issue is fixed beyond 1.4.13v1. Crop Sigil also fixed beyond 1.4.13v1 now.

Not sure what card caused this particular weirdness, but I blocked all (four) attacking creatures with my watcher in the web, in this order:
Ulrich, Kessig Dire Swine (w/ trample), Howlpack wolf, Incorrigible youths. I misplayed, and deserved a full 6 trample damage from the swine instead of 1. But, for some reason, I took 7. Transcript below, screenshot as well.

Hey, I noticed today that the “becomes unattached” ability on Stitcher's Graft as well as Grafted Wargear does not result in a forced sacrifice of the equipped creature if the "unattachement" is triggered by the destruction of the equipment.

I noticed this in a sealed EMN game on the xmage.de server, but replicated it here with the AI to confirm that the sac-on-unequip ability actually triggers and that the issue also exists with the Grafted Wargear.

In this replication, I attached Stitcher's Graft to a Stoneforge Mystic and then destroyed the equipment via Disenchant. The ability triggers, but keeps the Mystic [1c4] in play without any further message, the log says:

6:52 PM: Poit activates: Equip. from Stitcher's Graft [458] targeting Stoneforge Mystic [1c4]
6:52 PM: Poit casts Disenchant [9ff] targeting Stitcher's Graft [458]
6:52 PM: Stitcher's Graft [458] was destroyed
6:52 PM: Poit puts Disenchant [9ff] from stack into his or her graveyard
6:52 PM: Ability triggers: Stitcher's Graft [458] - Whenever Stitcher's Graft [458] becomes unattached from a permanent, sacrifice equipped permanent.

I dug a bit into the code, and noticed that the SacrificeEquippedEffect ability says

Code: Select all

Permanent equipment = game.getPermanent(source.getSourceId());
if (equipment != null && equipment.getAttachedTo() != null) {
    do stuff to trigger sacrifice...
}
return false;


I have no knowledge of the mage framework and actually never really used Java before (some C++), but could the problem be caused by the ability applying the checks when Disenchant already resolved and the equipment is in the graveyard, returning null on the getAttachedTo method?

v1.4.13r1: My opponent cast Dark Salvation (X=2), but my creature (which was supposedly targeted) didn't get -2/-2 until end of turn. Could have been a miscast by my opponent, or could be a bug, but my opponent said that the targeting/debuff portion did not work as it was meant to.

Falkenrath Gorger + Asylum Visitor (& probably any Vampire with printed Madness) + Olivia, Mobilized for War - Haste part of the triggered effect may not affect entering Vampire properly, please read further for more details.

When I cast Falkenrath Gorger and then discarded Asylum Visitor with Olivia, Mobilized for War 's triggered ability, two Madness pop-ups appeared, I have used the first one, Asylum Visitor entered the battlefield, Olivia triggered again and I used the ability to give Asylum Visitor Haste and +1/+1. Then the second Madness trigger resolved for the Visitor and I have cancelled it (by choosing "No" at first pop-up, but from what I have tested, the choice at this point does not matter). Asylum Visitor lost Haste and was both visually and functionally affected by Summoning Sickness.

I was able to avoid this issue by cancelling the first Madness pop-up and then using only the second one.

Please watch attached video for more details.

This issue exists probably since SOI addition and was noticed on local server playing against AI.
