Update on 25th Nov: Critical bug with card abilities found

A critical bug with the way abilities are implemented as been found. Release 1.20 has been deprecated and we are working on a fix. This bug is caused by the recent change to support additional abilities in the engine that violated an earlier assumption on the maximum number of abilities. Our apologies for the oversight.

Thanks to Aswan jaguar, jeffwadsworth, and Suislide2k1 for reporting the bug.

Original post on 25th Nov:

On this Black Friday, the dev team (beholder, melvin, and wait321) brings you a new release of Magarena. This release fixed a number of errors in the cards, added 154 new cards, and moved card scripts to data folder.

Intrepid users can now add simple cards by writing their own card script, putting the file in the Magarena/scripts folder and restarting the program. Many cards still require writing custom Java code but we hope to make more cards scriptable in the future. Documentation about the card script with be posted shortly.

Documentation on card scripting can be found here.

Very much a work in progress at the moment and very likely to change in the near future. The info is a but rudimentary now ... reading existing scripts is the key.

Do announcement branch for future release, please.

[melvin]

Do announcement branch for future release, please.

What's an "announcement branch"? Is it a feature of the forum? Do elaborate, thanks!

[muaddib]

Sorry, announcement topic. It's topic for future features, which waiting in next release, what developers want to do.

[Aswan jaguar]

I totally missed the Magarena 1.20b fix-update although I check everyday. You mentioned it in an answer in the bug forum but misunderstood it.Please post next time in the recent update forum something like "the updated 1.20b is out see first post" so we are alerted a new post has been mad to the forum.Thanks for your great work guys.
I had fun playing with Magarena 1.18 for the past month where AI doesn't make suicide attacks almost never.

[melvin]

Thanks for the reminder, will update the first post and post an update post at the end of the thread as you've suggested. Btw 1.21 is out, see the announcements
