Magarena Limited Edition & Thanks

[ubeefx]

Now that Magarena is gold, I am thinking about making a Magarena Limited Edition.
You might have noticed there is a donate button on the Magarena project page.
This will be a small gift for all people who donate or who are mentioned in the thanks.
This version will come in a downloadable zip on a download location given by email.
It might contain some extra cards and features and would come with everything included as a full package.
Also the source code would be included. This Limited Edition might see some more updates too in the future.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Now I want to thank some people on this great forum.

• Huggybaby : for providing this forum and several good feature requests
• nantuko84 : you were one of the first to notice Magarena and report issues and feature requests, keep up the good work on Mage
• mtgrares : thank you for helping people know about Magarena and the many nice and supporting comments
• epiko, puxl, melvin, Salasnet, LSK : thanks for your nice contributions to Magarena
• eidolon : for linking Magarena to cube drafting and reporting issues
• Aswan jaguar, jeffwadsworth, Boom2010, Incantus, Mageking17 : for your support and interest on the forums

I might have forgotten somebody, please send me a PM or reply if you feel like you should get this too.
When the Limited Edition is ready, the mentioned people will get an email or PM and I will leave a message on this thread.

FYI, the Limited Edition code will still be available in a branch on the project repository.
There will however be no downloadable release. It is meant as a thank you gift, not to get money for it.

[melvin]

Sounds cool and it would be a nice way to commemorate Magarena going gold.

[Huggybaby]

I don't have any suggestions for this one, but I will say it's a nice gesture. The fact that ubeefx appreciates other people is good enough for me.

The Limited Edition release 1.12 is ready.
It was not my goal to let this differ much from the gold release 1.11.
But is does contain some more cards and a couple of nice new features.
Also for the first time, a premade Magarena data folder should be downloaded.
It contains the new avatar sets, all themes, decks and the improved token card scans.

- default cube (567 cards)
- all cube (888 cards)

- modified game to work with a premade Magarena data folder
- added selectable avatar sets in preferences, separate from theme
- added unlimited undo support
- added "Reset game" in menu, undoing all moves
- added M key as additional shortcut for messages

The release can be downloaded on the project download page.
The source code can be found in a branch on the project page.
The data folder can be downloaded at http://www.mediafire.com/?mf41h1g3t621752.
This is a password protected zip. I will PM the password to the persons mentioned above.
I will also PM the password to everyone who replies in this topic or sends me a PM.
Just answer the following question : What do you like the most about Magarena?

It feels good to have finished this project.
Have fun!

There is an update on page 2.

Thanks for mentioning me in the credits, even though I did not have the time to play with the later versions of your program.
What I liked best about your program was the good AI, compared to other CCG on the computer - and I am not only talking about ancient stuff like Shandalar or other freeware projects, but also commercial software and trading card games that aren't MtG.

[LSK]

Congrats! I'll continue to submit decks as I build them.

[jeffwadsworth]

Thanks. Good luck with your other projects.

THX again! (I've posted before in the request section)

What should i do to obtain the invaluable Special Edition for this game?

Keep the hard work:)

[Boom2010]

Thanks and very much appreciated! (I wasn't expecting to be on the list).

[Aswan jaguar]

Thank you very much for this honor to use Magarena Limited Edition.Magarena was a game that earned a place in my heart since the first edition and made great progress thanks to a great Developer and a group of gifted people who made it of real gold.

[Kuno]

Thanks for creating Magarena, and making the Limited Edition available for everyone!

What I like the most about Magarena is the AI. It's really great, and it does some surprising stuff that even the XBox 360 game wouldn't. It's almost like playing a real person at times.

But another thing I like is that I'm able to play it here at work when the boss isn't looking

[goonjamin]

Thanks for the awesome program!

My favourite feature like many above would also have to be the challenging AI. Had some great close victories and loses.

I also really like the polished UI

@ pedro1973, Kuno, goonjamin

You all got a PM.

[cacaceantonio]

Limited Edition is a must. I don't want to miss it. I've played with all the versions.
Please add me to PM list.

Thanks a lot.

P.S. Once I thought I found a bug, but was my rules knowledge to be bugged.
Magarena is the best!
