Card Creation Request Thread

[KnowledgeJunkie7]

Any chance someone could code Bioshift? I was looking at thefiremind's Simic Guildmage from his DLC but I can't quite figure out how to tell it to choose how many +1 counters to remove/add from the selected creatures.

[AriesKiki]

Mates, can I request Frost Titan and/or Immerwolf? Thanks

[RiiakShiNal]

The card Frost Titan can't be coded because the engine does not allow for countering abilities. For example if Frost Titan is tapped and there is an untapped Royal Assassin (controlled by an opponent) then the Royal Assassin's ability could kill the Frost Titan without the possibility of being countered due to Frost Titan's first ability regardless of how much mana is available (even if none is available).

I modified firemind's code, I hope it can work fine.

:/ thanks anyway, Riiak... it is a shame because it's a good card.

[damienx45]

i would like to request:

1: magus of the abyss / vineyard

2:Counterbore / Rootgrapple / Lys Alana Bowmaster

3:Armament Master / Wildslayer Elves

4:(L)Gaea's Cradle / Luminescent Rain / Heal the Scars

5:Gilt-Leaf Archdruid / Ezuri's Brigade

6:Twinblade Slasher / Winnower Patrol / Wolf-Skull Shaman

i would like to request:

1: magus of the abyss / vineyard

2:Counterbore / Rootgrapple / Lys Alana Bowmaster

3:Armament Master / Wildslayer Elves

4:(L)Gaea's Cradle / Luminescent Rain / Heal the Scars

5:Gilt-Leaf Archdruid / Ezuri's Brigade

6:Twinblade Slasher / Winnower Patrol / Wolf-Skull Shaman

Here's Counterbore, let me know if it gives you any trouble (the .tdx goes into "ART_ASSETS\ILLUSTRATIONS" and the .xml goes into "CARDS"

(Used code from "Cancel" from the base game and "Surgical Extractioin" provided by Sumomole further up the thread.

EDIT: Also Armament master is in Riak's DLC v 1.2.2 found here: viewtopic.php?f=102&t=7452&p=92576 . Also Riak made Wildslayer Elves for 2010 (viewtopic.php?f=100&t=4816&p=62292&hilit=Wildslayer+elves#p62292) might get with him about an update for it.

EDIT 2: Oh yeah I see what Riak did with that version mine would have errors- I deleted mine use Riak's.

[RiiakShiNal]

My mod also has Counterbore not just Armament Master.

The card Wildslayer Elves is very simple and can be auto-generated like this:

For 2010 I also made Twinblade Slasher, Gilt-Leaf Archdruid, Ezuri's Brigade, and Lys Alana Bowmaster. Though I don't remember how many of those I released because of the lost interest since most people had moved on to 2012 by the time I stopped modding for 2010.

i would like to request:

PS: Kinship card can be found in someone's mod, e.g. kevlahnota.

[spakattack]

I'm doing a tribute deck to my cousin who introduced me to mtg many years ago, I haven't spoke to him in several months, and I want to surprise and show him a replica of his old mono black deck that he used to have. I have about 90% of the cards created that are in his deck. The only one I don't think I have is Wound Reflection. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could please code that for me (just need the .xml, I can get the images). I would also like to put a Dying Wish in it from gatecrash because it would go well with Kokusho, the Evening Star and Innocent Blood or Devour Flesh (which i have), and other cards in his deck.

Just to clarify, the cards I would like coded are Wound Reflection and Dying Wish. If anyone could help me out, I would be eternally grateful.

[spakattack]

Thanks Sumomole, your the greatest, lol. I'll test these out right now. I'm so psyched, It's gonna be pretty cool to show my cousin his old deck.

EDIT: I just got done adding the card art and I was looking at some instants and creatures on gatherer, and I remembered that he had a Horobi's Whisper in the deck to use with Rend Flesh(i have rend flesh), and 1 Xathrid Demon. Is it possible to do splice cards? If so could you please do these 2 for me. I think those the last cards I missed.

[RiiakShiNal]

At least one of the rulings for "Splice onto Arcane" can't be coded:

702.45b You can’t choose to use a splice ability if you can’t make the required choices (targets, etc.) for that card’s instructions. You can’t splice any one card onto the same spell more than once. If you’re splicing more than one card onto a spell, reveal them all at once and choose the order in which their instructions will be followed. The instructions on the main spell have to be followed first.

We can't show them all at once due to engine limitations, but that same limitation does give us some ability to choose which order the instructions will be followed in.

This section may not be possible to implement:

702.45d Choose targets for the added text normally (see rule 601.2c). Note that a spell with one or more targets will be countered if all of its targets are illegal on resolution.

For example if you were to splice Glacial Ray onto Cleanfall and you target a creature, if that creature is destroyed or otherwise becomes an illegal target before Cleanfall with the spliced Glacial Ray resolves then it should be countered as per the ruling (meaning enchantments would remain). I don't know if the DotP engine would handle a case like this or not.

Likewise if you splice Evermind onto Glacial Ray (targeting a creature) and the creature becomes an invalid target you should not be able to draw a card because the spell should be countered.

If the engine itself does not handle those situations then that is another part of the ruling we will not be able to implement.

Xathrid Demon has already been coded and is present in my mod.

[spakattack]

oh i didn't see the thread for your DLC, I'll get that right now. It's a shame about the splice arcane effect on Horobi's Whisper though. What about the code for just "If you control a Swamp, destroy target nonblack creature." I'm just a regular dude and don't know how to do that, but I could just use the code from the card doom blade and replace all the other information, but it won't have the "if you control a swamp" effect.

[RiiakShiNal]

"If you control a Swamp, destroy target nonblack creature." is relatively easy to code:

Code: Select all

      <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0">
         local filter = Object():GetFilter()
         filter:Clear()
         filter:AddCardType( CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )
         filter:AddColour( COLOUR_BLACK )
         filter:AddExtra( FILTER_EXTRA_FLIP_COLOUR )
         filter:SetZone( ZONE_IN_PLAY )
         filter:SetHint( HINT_ENEMY, EffectController() )
      </TARGET_DEFINITION>
      <TARGET_DETERMINATION>
         return AtLeastOneTargetFromDefinition(0)
      </TARGET_DETERMINATION>
      <PLAY_TIME_ACTION target_choosing="1">
         EffectController():ChooseTarget( 0, "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CREATURE_TO_DESTROY", EffectDC():Make_Targets(0) )
      </PLAY_TIME_ACTION>
      <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
         local filter = Object():GetFilter()
         filter:Clear()
         filter:AddSubType( LAND_TYPE_SWAMP )
         filter:SetController( EffectController() )
         filter:SetZone( ZONE_IN_PLAY )
         local hasSwamp = (filter:CountStopAt(1) == 1)
         if (hasSwamp) then
            local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_CardPtr(0)
            if (target ~= nil) then
               target:Destroy()
            end
         end
      </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

It checks to see if you have a swamp at resolution time (as per the Horobi's Whisper rulings). You could still target a creature, but if you don't have a swamp at resolution time (for example someone destroyed your last one with a Strip Mine or something, or you got black mana from something else like a Vault of Whispers and don't actually have a swamp) then the creature won't be destroyed.
