Those file helped, thanks. I think I was able to fix all those errors. Also, I added Nicol Bolas.

awesome

re-uploaded it to my webspace.

edit->
something else is messed up now. AI is attacking my planeswalkers(jace in my case) normal but they don´t loose loyalty counters.

nicol bolas:
i could use nicol bolas -2 twice in a turn and his +3just happened once so far (first try ^^).
you can only gain control of a single creature - not multiple (the old one returns to the AI).
you might also want to add that you have to beat a certain challenge to use its ultimate.

sometimes it happens that you fetch a land(fetchland,landgrant or farseek) and it doesn´t come into play. was happening before this update too.

Does this file makes this one

obsolete? Should I install only the new one?

[Salbei]

safe the last stable version by any means.so if you experience crashes frequently then you can always revert back.
but this "patch" would be the latest with more implemented cards.

Thanks for the planeswalker bug fix. I thought we already had Nicol Bolas though :p

edit: Oh, there is a Nicol Bolas planeswalker :p That's a nice card

Is there any chance of just getting the cards unlocked without the challenge mode? I'd love to play it but half the new cards in teh game crash challenge mode on me and Due to the bugs that the goblin deck has with me I can't even get past that match on challenge 1. Game seems to play the planeswalkers and other cards just fine when I'm not in challenge mode.

I'm on Vista.

OK, something's weird with this update... some decks stop working, lands are strangely reordered in the deckbuilder, when I put Flooded Plain and Polluted Delta in deck, they are saved as "Ouns. - Polluted Delta", and I can't find Echoing Truth in the deckbuilder at all!

Not to mention that I see no trace of planeswalkers in the deckbuilder, though I finished first three challenges.

Did I do something wrong?

savegame file, please

The once per turn thing on Bolas I can fix, no sweat. The fact that you can only steal one creature is a problem. Is there any other card in the game that can steal multiple creatures? Closest I can find is Aladdin, which is not close enough.

Which "cardart" file should I install?

there you go.

you can do the dual activation here.

i´m not sure about the loyalty counter thing yet. sometimes they definatly don´t loose their counters when they are attacked.i´m not sure when that happens.checking it right now.(gonna edit a second attachment in here if i can reproduce it)

edit:still not sure why but you clearly don´t loose loyalty.

--->
so far all "control" affects implemented are:
Control Magic
Confiscate
Treachery
Old Man of the Sea
Rubinia Soulsinger
Aladdin
Bribery (from the deck)
i might have forgotten one or two but none i can´t think of anything which could overtake more than one though.

Which "cardart" file should I install?

you can find the "official" pics in ->this thread (first page,post5<-

mathusalem is usually keeping the card art up to date.

I think this fixes the loyalty bug. If not, or if it causes a new bug, let me know. Sorry for the half-assed testing on my part. I am leaving for vacation tonight and haven't had a lot of coding time.

np. without you we would still toy around with 10 year old cards only

i´m just glad that i could give something back.

Finally got around to giving this challenge a proper go. Just made it to the finals, but it crashed - will get back to it tomorrow. Alot of fun building a deck for this challenge (my deck looks incredibly silly lol), but be aware it will take you a *long* time to play through these 10 rounds!

EDIT: OK, I'm pretty sure this challenge is bugged. The game has crashed on the final round in the AI's first upkeep 3 times in a row now.... And I was so looking forward to activating that final Bolas ability!

[mathusalem]

ho another update ! and everyone was craving the pics.....
ok here's the update....

I think I should release a complete overhaul of the Cardartnew folder while I have a little bit of time.

.... haven't had much time to play lattely and I'm still stuck on challenge one..... it gets a bit repetitive after a while.

I agree. It sucks to fight through Kobolds, zombies and merfolk just to get to the really challenging ones. Not to mention the sudden crashing bug at Challenges.
Any chances of saving between matches?
