Card Creation Request Thread

[thefiremind]

I think Instill Energy just make creature can attack as though it had haste.

How could I forget about the implications on abilities with ?
Then forget what I said: the approximation is not legitimate.

Hi,

could someone update the 2012 version of Martyr of Sands or code a new version ? Thx

[thefiremind]

Not too different from Burn at the Stake, I copied a lot from that.

hey firemind can you take a look at the file i posted and see if thoe cards can be coded to work on dotp 2013?

I gave a quick look and I think they can, but I'm not interested in coding invented cards, sorry. If you are really crazy about them, you can try to start from already coded slivers and adapt them to your needs. Slivers are the "race" from which I started my modding experience in DotP2012 because they all do the same thing (more or less). For example, if you want to code the custom sliver that gives wither, start from an existing sliver that gives a static ability (Battering Sliver for example) and substitute his characteristic with CHARACTERISTIC_WITHER. You'll need to give it a different ID, adjust name, cost, etc., but the code part will be done.

what about the dredge 2 and bloodthirst 1 custom slivers should do the same for them or do they require more coding then the wither? and what about the sliver armor do i just find a enchantment card that has already been coded or will that card have to be coded by hand?

The dredge mechanic is extremely difficult: I made it for DotP2012 and I would probably need to recode it from scratch if I wanted to make it for DotP2013. It can also interfere with other simpler abilities that override the player's draw. I'd suggest you to ignore that custom sliver.

Bloodthirst is quite "standard", and you can start from Bloodlord of Vasgoth which is similar (rather than granting bloodthirst to vampires, you'll grant it to slivers).

About Sliver Armor, I don't know if "protection from non-Slivers" can be properly coded: I remember having problems trying to code a protection that required a "negation" of something else.

Can I request Trade Secrets? I've been trying to program it, to no success. Something about how the numerical choice function works, I think...

hey firemind you said on another forum thread that the more challengeing the card is the better you like it right? then here's a challenge for ya skeletal vampire, butcher of malikar, bloodline keeper / Lord of lineage.

Well, unless it's something that makes me headbutt my monitor.

then here's a challenge for ya skeletal vampire, butcher of malikar, bloodline keeper / Lord of lineage.

Butcher of Malakir can be found inside RiiakShiNal's mod.
Bloodline Keeper can be found inside Nivmizzet1's mod... not guaranteed to be bug-free, but transform mechanic is really hard to make right on DotP2013 and I gave up with it long time ago.
Skeletal Vampire was in DotP2012 so I'm surprised that kevlahnota's mod doesn't have it yet... anyway it's easy, I'll update it from DotP2012 soon.

EDIT: Here it is.

That doesn't prevent someone else from trying to fill your request, though.

I don't know about your level of modding knowledge and about your problems with XMLs, but did you try this? You can insert the code from Soul Warden once the XML is ready.

I'm not sure if "any number of target creatures" includes 0, anyway my implementation includes 0 (if for some reason you just want to tap the artifact) mainly because it was easier to code.
I used the query text for regeneration because it's the closest thing I could think of, but you can make an appropriate "Choose a creature that gains persist" text if you want.
