Updates on the way.

[Bog Wraith]

You never stop to amaze us with new features,better and more efficient ways to make things work and always trying to give a nice look to the game and game experience.This implementation is such a delight compared to what we have been used to with the Effect card attached on Oracle of Mul Daya!

And together with the trigger/activate from hand and trigger/activate from graveyard implementations the game feels so New and Different.
I am almost certain that at a point like a newbie I will be asking for help to use new features.

Couldn't have said it any better myself, old friend!

Hello,

Great, fantastic work. Few questions: How are dungeon cards assigned now? It still looks like it could be the same spot in the save file, but I can't get the numbers to work out. I was able to swap out dungeon 'permanently in effect' cards easily and change dungeon rules, but I can't figure out how to swap the dungeon cards. For example, the first dungeon's data starts at 0x000222c8. The hex data is

Code: Select all

d8 18 00 00  e6 24 00 00  4c 27 00 00  70 0e 00 00  29 00 00 00  34 00 00 00  58 00 00 00  02 82 00 00  00 00 00 00  80 00 00 00  ff ff ff ff  ff ff ff ff

The first 4 bytes used to be the first dungeon card, but 18d8 is 6360, Daru Sanctifier not Mox Sapphire. All of the other things I've changed in the dungeon data have worked fine (e.g. 70 0e above, 13th and 14th bytes, is Arcane Laboratory and working properly), is there something special going on with the dungeon rewards now (I also have the same problem with owned cards in the save data - I own none of the cards it appears to say I own)? Also, would there ever be any way to get the Vanguard cards in Shandalar? Some of them would make great environment cards.

Dungeon in play cards chosen which I'm enjoying:

| Open

Underworld Dreams, Invoke Prejudice, Vernal Bloom, Electropotence, Noble Purpose in castles, Arcane Laboratory, Grave Pact, Larceny, Coastal Piracy, Treasure Trove, Call of the Wild, Cursed Scroll, Glorious Anthem, Maze of Ith, Furnace of Rath

Would love to hear what others are using.

Second, ancillary question: I noticed when editing dungeons and castles, that castles and a few dungeons have their rule byte set to '03'. Any idea what that does?

Third, ancillary question: Any way to modify or create any static dungeon cards that cannot be destroyed (wtb Arcane Laboratory, etc that's indestructable and untargetable)?

Fourth question: Where exactly are amulet and base gold costs stored? I am finding many new powerful commons and uncommons to be far too cheap, and in combination with the weak enemy decks makes the game not challenging. Additionally some of the old 'power' buyable cards no longer need such a high cost (e.g. Shivan Dragon) and I'd also like to remove the lottery of finding stuff like Sewers of Estark where the card is useless but paradoxically worth a bundle. Why is that even a card anyway?

Fifth question: Is there any way to adjust the frequency of various types of goodie hut rewards? Specifically, I'd like to lower the chance or remove the chance to get just a basic land.

Sixth question: Possible to tweak village / town card costs?

Seventh question: How exactly does the game determine which monsters are stronger than others / which ones to send at various times? Is it simply based on the order they are entered in the data? Automatically done based on their starting HP? Something else entirely?

As a random aside, I originally didn't like the idea of randomizing enemy decks when you fought them (or drawing them from tiered pools) but it's clear with the amount of new cards that there won't be enough AI decks to use all the cards or even represent all the cool themes available. However it might be a little weird seeing a Sainted One using a rebel deck or something. Is it significantly harder to add more, different enemy avatar types than to randomize the deck they select?

I think that's all for now... thanks very much for the great work so far.

I haven't looked into the Shandalar-specific parts of the savegame format at all. (If someone's already reverse-engineered it and documented it somewhere, a pointer to that would be quite helpful.) I'm generally more able to tell you where stuff is located in memory while the game is running.

The dungeon cards are apparently stored by internal card id, not csv id. These correspond to line numbers in magic_updater/ct_all.csv; 0x18d8 is Mox Jet, 0x24e6 is Strip Mine, and 0x274c is Tolarian Academy. (This is actually fairly bad news; the csv maintainers have previously been able to reorder ct_all.csv to make it easier to maintain, other than basic lands and the original duals needing to remain in a specific order a the start, and effect cards and slots for dynamic creation in a specific order at the end. Now we know that doing that will break Shandalar savegames.) On the other hand, knowing that dungeon rewards are saved in the savegame means that it's definitely feasible to pick a random subset of the restricted/banned list at game start to put into dungeons, as mentioned in the first post of this thread.

Vanguard cards are doable, with a bit of a time investment for the first one. They need to:

1. be found in a player's or AI's deck and put on the bf at duel start - easy
2. be made available in the cardpicker - easy
3. be randomly findable after duels, in lairs, etc - probably automatic, but moderately difficult if not
4. be findable in towns and villages - probably automatic, but fairly difficult if not
5. be limited to 1 per deck in the deckbuilder - quite difficult. I've already sunk about eight hours into preliminary research for Relentless Rats and Shadowborn Apostle, and I'm not close there yet; having an additional constraint of only allowing one out of a whole category of cards (rather than, say, only 1 of a specific card) will be even harder.

I assume you've noticed that most of those dungeon bonus cards don't actually do anything, even if you make them legal (and non-crashing) with AllowAllCards in Shandalar.ini?

Rule byte: dunno. If I knew where it ended up in memory, I'd be able to investigate. Savegame documentation would let me find out where it is.

Adding shroud and indestructible to dungeon bonus cards - it could be done, I suppose. Not merely by editing a savegame, of course.

Amulets and gold - in memory, amulets are five ints starting at 0x789910, and gold is an int at 0x5863a4. Partial savegame documentation, again, would let me find out where all the other data ends up.

Lair rewards:

• If a card is just found without the lair doing anything else, there's a 50% chance of it being the basic land corresponding to the lair color, and a 50% chance of it being a random card with similar color to the lair. You can adjust that by changing the byte at memory location 0x52fc6a, corresponding to byte 0x12f06a in the executable file. Changing from 2 to 0 or 1 will make it never be a land; changing it to 0x20 will make it a 31/32 chance of being a land.
• If the lair does something else besides just give you a card, there's a 1 in 4 chance of it giving you a randomly-picked rare or mythic rare card. The byte at 0x52fdb6 (at 0x12f1b6 in the excutable) changes that.

Both of those will stop working at some point; I'll need to move the whole function into Shandalar.dll in order to add more lair types, at which point I'll probably make the probabilities configurable in Shandalar.ini. I may move the function into Shandalar.dll before that, if for no other reason than to fix the bug that makes lairs hang if you own no cards other than commons, basic lands, and dungeon rewards.

Village/town costs: see bug #561.

Enemy strength: Dunno yet.

Making more enemies: much, much more difficult than just hooking into the functions that load their decks. Enough so that I'm not even going to try for quite a while. For starters, it's completely unobvious how the game caches the sprites for adventure mode, which is the same problem that I ran into at the bottom of this post.

Sometimes a blocker who dies from first strike (or double strike) damage and regenerates still deals damage to the attacker. I don't know why; the regeneration backend looks the same as in Manalink, and removes the regenerator from combat, and combat damage assignment checks whether it's been removed from combat, and still checks whether the blocker's tapped besides. It's not consistent, either, and it's driving me nuts.

I might have found the problem.Both times I encountered the problem (it wasn't with first strike or double strike) they were killed by instants in my cases.Both times the creatures weren't removed from battle they were enchanted by auras and if it matters both creatures had regeneration themselves Selesnya Sentry (had many auras on it) and Will-o'-the-Wisp.

The link is here: viewtopic.php?f=76&t=3485&start=45 in Per's first post. That part includes which byte each part starts at, which is accurate so far in all the places I've looked. Further down, he has a post indicating where various data like monster details, some card data, etc are located mostly in the executables. I'm assuming you know all that and are past it, but if not card data in Magic.exe starts (or started) at 0x00160160, card data in Shandalar.exe starts at 0x00192608. The location of the other stuff he notes except for the card data in Cards.dat. I was unable to locate that data, the tooltips are easy to find but I don't know what a pointer to the strings looks like in hex form.

These correspond to line numbers in magic_updater/ct_all.csv; 0x18d8 is Mox Jet, 0x24e6 is Strip Mine, and 0x274c is Tolarian Academy.

Thanks for that, very handy. Are the dungeon environment cards read the same way, or do those look for the card ID? And yes, definitely appears that reordering that CSV would break save files if, as it seems, owned cards in the save file look for line in the CSV rather than card ID. I think that's a pretty small price to pay for patches that add a lot of new content but good to know.

I assume you've noticed that most of those dungeon bonus cards don't actually do anything, even if you make them legal (and non-crashing) with AllowAllCards in Shandalar.ini?

I didn't notice! The card seemed to show up properly and I just sort of assumed it was working. Will go back through. However the game did recognize the card I intended in the dungeon clues "Arcane Laboratory in effect" so that may indicate that it's already reading that via ID for the UI, so if it's hooked up functionality wise to the line # it may be doing one card in the dungeon while saying it's doing another?

Adding shroud and indestructible to dungeon bonus cards - it could be done, I suppose. Not merely by editing a savegame, of course.

Maybe less useful now that I think about it. If a player wants the challenge of not removing the dungeon cards, they can do it pretty easily.

Amulets and gold - in memory, amulets are five ints starting at 0x789910, and gold is an int at 0x5863a4. Partial savegame documentation, again, would let me find out where all the other data ends up.

0x00021d0c, 0x00021d10, 0x00021d14, 0x00021d18, 0x00021d1c are for each of the amulets, 0x00021d20 is gold, 0x00021d24 is food


Thanks for the other info, like lair frequency.

Crag Hack in da house! Crag Hack smash all

First of all...

Congratulations!

I have been playing Shandalar for years, every once in a while, and was always checking this forum for updates and usually read things like "no new cards in Shandalar" "no source code" "we need an assembly genius" "it's very difficult" "improbable" "impossible" etc.

And yesterday I come here one more time and click on the Shandalar forum without noticing the "
MicroProse's Shandalar Campaign Game, now with new cards & a new look! " . And then I click on the "Updates on the way" thread and I am like "Wait a minute. Is this what I think it is? WOO HOO!" This is the greatest moment of humanity after the invention of yoga pants.

Now...questions about the installation. Windows XP SP3, 7-Zip. English isn't my first language so excuse any misunderstandings. I downloaded the archive from the "Shandalar 2012 Install" and extracted it in the folder that I created D:\Shandalar_2012Delta. I clicked the Install_Me_First!.cmd and it did its job. I also downloaded the toggle_sounds zip from the same thread and extracted it in the Shandalar 2012 folder replacing the file that was already there. After that I rebooted. So, to make myself clear about the directories, Shandalar.exe is in D:\Shandalar_2012Delta\Shandalar 2012\Program and Play_Shandalar is in D:\Shandalar_2012Delta\Shandalar 2012, ok until now? By the way, the CardArtShandalar folder has 1260 files and not 1259 as mentioned, is this right?

Then I downloaded the "Manalink_3.0-Update_2014-05-06" archive by ozks (the first in the Manalink 3.0 thread) but I don't know where to extract it and how to overwrite/replace things. And after I extract it, do I have to do something to install it? It doesn't mention anything in the Manalink 3.0 thread and I have some trouble understanding the difference between extract and install. After that, I think I have understood how to update manalink with the fate reforged patch, do the card art updates and lastly extract the ruined tower 4 zip. So you understand where I am stuck. I would appreciate some help here. I also saw a post by Aswan jaguar that recommends the 2010 custom installer iso, should I erase everything and start over using this version?

[Korath]

Your English is fine. The situation is genuinely confusing and difficult, and we haven't begun to try to make it easier yet.

You need to arrange for the two installations to end up in the same "Program" directory. Each will have dbart, duelart, duelsounds, etc. subdirectories in that.

Some of the manalink base installations floating around, and most of the Manalink patches, don't extract cleanly into ./Programs; they go into something like ./SomeRandomString/Program/ - or even just ./SomeRandomString/ - and require you to manually move the files into the correct directory.

If they've already installed into different directories and you don't want to start over, I think it would be sufficient to move the following files and directories from the Manalink installation into the Shandalar one:

• Magic.exe
• Cards.dat (not Cards1.dat, which isn't used)
• *.dll
• The CardArtManalink/ directory (not CardArtShandalar/, which isn't used)
• The Cardart/ directory
• The Duelart/ directory

But no guarantees.

Which Shandalar version to install won't matter much. The main differences, I believe, are that some of the background art has been replaced; that there's more different versions of artwork for original cards in CardArtShandalar (which won't matter, since these update use the Manalink artwork directory); and that there's maybe a few more minor hacks to Shandalar.exe, which will get overwritten by the Shandalar.exe provided in these updates.

Some Shandalar installs, including the one I worked from, are missing the wizard animations, too, though. I'm not sure which offhand. If yours is, Huggybaby has provided a download of the appropriate directory ("statwin") here.

[Crag Hack]

Thanks for the quick help. I extracted the manalink archive and since it didn't extract cleanly as you said, I copied everything from the manalink "program" directory into the shandalar 2012 "program" directory and overwrote everything, applied the fate reforged patch, updated card art, extracted ruined tower 4 and it works! Played a bit and it is stable, no weird behaviour and the arrows in the card menus work great. I particularly enjoyed the new feature of being offered a psionic blast for only two black amulets instead of four.

[Gunslinger]

Korath, I have to say that you've made something wonderful.

But here is the small question. Is is possible to use your update to play original Shandalar. By original Shandalar I mean vanilla version of the game. With the basic set of cards initially put into the game by the developers.

Why do you want to play such an old game, you might ask. Well, let's say that getting used to thousands of new cards takes a lot of time. Don't get me wrong, I like all the new cards and stuff, but there are too many, and all I want right now is just enjoy the game in it's basic form, and not plow for hours through the bunch of card I've never heard of, no matter how beautiful and functional they all are.

Thanks again, Korath, and best of luck to you.

Use the original Shandalar 2010 ISO, it's the untouched version in its dedicated thread.

Use the original Shandalar 2010 ISO, it's the untouched version in its dedicated thread.

Not the best solution since there is that small annoying problem with card picker in the game that doesn't allow you to select certain creatures in the red deck, for example.

It's got (primitive, ugly-looking) buttons to scroll right and left through the list. As I recall, even in the original game there were too many red creatures to fit, at just over 50;

This issue is fixed by Korath but his version of the game requires Manalink with all the new cards and that's the thing I'd like to avoid.

So the question is still relevant.

[jiansonz]

Not the best solution since there is that small annoying problem with card picker in the game that doesn't allow you to select certain creatures in the red deck, for example.

To clarify, what this problem does is that it makes it harder to acquire the following cards: Wall of Earth, Wall of Fire, Wall of Heat, Wall of Opposition, Wall of Stone and Windseeker Centaur. Two of those cards (three if you play with my overhaul) can be ante-d by or stolen from enemies, though.

[stassy]

With the soon to be posted complete list of available new cards, I guess that it will be possible to disable all the cards you want by editing the Shandalar ini (though if all the cards he posted in this very thread are the new ones, you can just retrieve them and put them in the ini file).
There is to note that due to Korath recoding all cards, old ones included, some are not working perfectly like the originals.

[gmzombie]

But a lot are working better than ever too.

[Korath]

Play at 800x600 and they'll fit onto the screen.

I might be convinced to make a version that does nothing except include the cardpicker changes; but

1. I'd want to see significantly more interest in it first - it'd only take a few hours or so, but it's still hours of my life I'll never get back - and
2. I'm already having to scrounge through screenshots for old bugs to delete so I can attach more stuff here. I cordially dislike "free" hosting like mediafire; it's irritating to have everyone make a buck off your work but you.

Stassy, the "announcement", such as it is, is buried in the raw logs, but you can see the complete list of cards in RT4/LT2 and higher by starting Shandalar from the command line:

Code: Select all

shandalar.exe --card-list

As you can see - at least if you're brave enough to wade through that list - I've been making an effort to get everything that's conveniently implementable in Theros block implemented. I've got a handful of feasible cards to go still, and there's still going to be large gaps: nothing with bestow, strive, tribute, or inspired; no gods or equipment; and I'm still missing some miscellaneous effects that I may or may not get to like "doesn't untap during during its controller's next untap", "play cards of type [whatever] is though they had flash", "look through the top [number] cards of your library and choose a [type] from among them", etc.

I've also split up summoning sickness (as mentioned in passing here - haste something until the end of your turn and it'll properly become summonsick again on your opponent's, for example, and Instill Energy and Thousand-Year Elixir only grant the abilities they say they do); and made the AI use scry and similar library manipulation semi-intelligently instead of just ordering the cards randomly.

I'm currently working on counterspells. The ones I've added, and old ones I've rewritten, work like the laces do now - they're properly cast at instant speed and can target anything on the stack. The AI handles it as well as it does the interrupt versions, which isn't very. Set it to 2 life, give it four Islands and put two Counterspells in its hand, Lightning Bolt it, and it'll (usually, not always) counter it; but if you counter its Counterspell, it generally won't counter your counter. That's saddening; it makes me wonder whether it's ever willing to continue to respond back and forth to that depth at all, and if not, whether it can be made to.

The interface will be weird for a while, since I haven't rewritten all of the original counterspells - there's no easy way to find out what the of a spell on the stack other than the one on top of it is (all spells with in their cost record that value themselves so they have access to it when they resolve), I'm not doing modal spells yet, and I don't have something in place for "your opponent may choose to do [something]" as part of an effect - so cards like Spell Blast, Red Elemental Blast, and Force Spike respectively are still cast at interrupt speed, and can still only target the top card of the stack. The first of these issues is also blocking me from making Mana Drain, which is an annoyance.
