Manalink update 15 of July, 2012 AKA Kamigawa stories V3

[Gargaroz]

Here we are again, Magic friends, this time with a new, really usefull addittion and a lot of new cards added, as usual.
The new feature is the possibility of filtering cards in the DeckBuilder for their legality in the various tournament formats. This include the possibility of making a creature a "general" in a Commander deck. I for myself I'm overly happy for these kind of filters, playing mainly T2, hope you'll enjoy too !
Then, there's the usually long string of bugs fixed and the best of Kamigawa block for you, plus various other things you'll find out below.

[Althuna]

Thanks guys

[0rion79]

Great job Gargaroz! Really a lot of fixes (oran rief, at last!) and plenty of new cards!
New filters for legends is very appreciated.
As usual, already found some new bug... but about new cards, not old ones for now.

[EDIT]

Err... Gargaroz, I'm trying the new patch but I'm find plenty of bugs. Maybe you should release a new version soon. Also some fixes, as the one to Oran Rief, are not working or have not been included in the patch.

[stassy]

The more bugs you post, the faster V2 will be in the rails

[0rion79]

Alrady doing...
found already 6 not working cards in a single samurai deck.
Pals, have you tested the cards in the new patch before releasing it?

[Gargaroz]

Orion, I really haven't time to test every single card I release, just post the bugs and a V2 will be done in a week.
And about Oran Rief, I tried like 10 different ways to make it function and it seems still bugged... I begin to hate that card.

[RanDomino]

Awesome, thanks! I wasn't expecting anything for another month!

[0rion79]

Gargaroz, you know that I really have a very high exteeme of you and your passion for this game, but really almost none of the cards that I have tried until now (among the new ones with more than static abilities) is working.

About Oran Rief, there was a time when it was working wonderfully, absolutely flawless. You can check previous patches, maybe the one when it has been originally released, and restore that code.

I appreciate very much your attempt to "slim down" and optimize cards' code but, if the result is a constant respawning of bugs on already working cards, I really wonder if it wouldn't be better to skip it. I don't know if it is the case of Oran Rief too but I think that at least a thought on this matter is really worty of.

[stassy]

It's ok for the bugs, we are here to reveal them and it's nice to see them mostly fixed.

Also Orion79, don't post in the wrong section when spamming bugs, cool down guy

[0rion79]

hehehe! Lol, sorry. there were too many of them and I've missed the "hole" once, as we say!

[stassy]

As usual, I strongly recommend to perform a full scan deck check with PDA in order to fix the Avatars and some cards that might have their ID changed (some others than Avatars were for me).

[Althuna]

I will help find bugs soon

[Gargaroz]

Guys, I found out what caused most of the bugs Orion reported : unfortunately, I used a wrong file when releasing the patch, so I'm removing the link from the first post.
You'll got a V2 ASAP.

[Gargaroz]

V2 is ready, download it and then you can restart to report bugs.

[0rion79]

As suggested.
After a first look, some cards are working better but they are still not fine, while others still present the same bugs as usual. Just for records, Oran Rief is still not working fine.

About that, I would really invite you to think about your attitude to re-code already working cards. Gargaroz, you once have told me that new bugs on old cards appear when you recode them, since you have got more experience and that should allow you to improve how they work or interact with the game.

Still, if the result can be the permanent corruption of valuable cards, I think that it is not worthy of.
Some of us may have the patience to constantly check and reports for bugs, now I'm no longer among them not for any personal reason but just because I have other needs and, when dealing with Magic, I would just enjoy a more stable game.

Please, just take this as an opportunity to think: you are not paid for what you are doing here so I can't complain. In verity, I just have to thank you a lot for the overall job.
