Forge Beta: 05-31-2013 ver 1.4.0
12755 cards in total.
Release Notes
- Java 7 -
The devs are discussing a plan to update the battlefield display code with Java FX 2.2 and this should help to improve a few things. Java FX 2.2 requires Java 7 so it is important for members of our user base to update in the near future as Forge at the time of the update will no longer run under Java 6.
- New M14 cards -
We have added a branch to our SVN for the new cards that are currently being scripted. These cards are not yet available in this build of forge. Please be patient and they will soon become available.
- Blank screen when starting a match -
This problem should be fixed. At least you'll see an exception/crash report describing why the match didn't start instead of a blank screen.
- Duplicate triggers problem solved -
This problem has now been fixed. (Mana Vortex required 2 lands, Emrakul gave 2 extra turns, Empty the Warrens creatures two Storm triggers instead of one.)
- Constructed mode AI vs AI matches -
Added support for AI vs AI matches. There is a checkbox which allows you to view the AI vs AI match. This is a work in progress and is not finished. While it appears to work OK there is still a need for a few UI changes. Please be patient. These AI vs AI matches will not be a good way to test out various deck types against one another as the AI does not understand card combos and the AI is still limited at this time.
- Constructed mode Human vs Human Hotseat matches -
Hotseat matches are now possible. This mode has some known bugs to fix. At this time both players must use the same computer. Human vs Human matches via the internet is planned and should become available sometime in the future. Please be patient.
- Using predetermined decks in quest mode Challenges -
Added the capability to play Challenges vs predetermined decks (along with a few other related options to disallow specific quest mode things). Added Sorin vs Tibalt, and Tibalt vs Sorin as examples of Challenges that force you to use a specific Deck. (They seemed to be the best duel deck compatibility for the AI).
- Targeting Overlay -
Targeting arrows will now be shown for equipments equipping permanents currently under opponent's control (for those rare cases when e.g. an equipped creature gets Switcheroo'd for something else).

Release notes errata
(at least my vision some points of these)
-= Blank screen starting a match =-
There are no more black screens at match start. If you see an exception with a stack trace similiar to
-= New Constructed Modes =-
You may now choose player type for constructed mode. That means if you set both to computer, you'll watch AI vs AI match. There are simple controls avaliable allowing you to pause a match at any point (in fact the game can be paused only when either side gets priority), make single step and resume the auto-play.
If you choose both humans, you'll play a hot-seat game, when each player sees each other's hand and actions. This could be useful to test ceratin decks or game features or for tuition. A real challenge when players don't see each other's hands will be implemented with network mode. There is no estimate on it yet.
Should you leave default settings, there'll start a usual human vs AI match, that you've been playing in previous versions.
-= Deck choice component =-
* You may select a deck from quest shop - it usually holds decklists of starter and event decks from recent editions.
* When playing against a quest challenge, the AI will recieve any extra cards or tokens on battlefield that were scripted for that challenge.
-= Secret feature noone has noted =-
Assigned damage is now displayed on creature cards above their power/toughness numbers.
-= Notable cards and effects =-
The card requested for almost three years Sorin Markov and Mindslaver have been implemented with completion of player control effect.

Got any more context? I can block just fine when skipping the AIs Declare Attackers Step. Are you sure there isn't any Protection or Unblockable or anything else going on? What creatures are involved? What mode are you playing in?cc-drake wrote:Strange... Do I have to stop in AI's Declare attackers step AND Declare blockers step to be allowed to block?

I can't pay X mana for Detritivore 's suspend ability. The OK button is always grayed out.

I suspect that your editor.xml file somehow became corrupt and needs to be deleted. I had a similar situation myself last week.

The speed increase is both fantastic and very welcome.
I see the right-click context menu is working perfectly.
Thank you very much for your ongoing improvements!

Right click on triggered abilities on the stack marked (OPTIONAL) to set wether you want to always accept or decline them.
So now you're
Screaming for the blood of the cookie monster
Evil puppet demon of obesity
Time to change the tune of his fearful ballad
C is for "Lettuce," that's good enough for me

Actually, I'm not sure if they are marked Optional anymore. I was playing my Lorescale Coatl quest deck the other day and noticed they were missing.Hellfish wrote:Right click on triggered abilities on the stack marked (OPTIONAL) to set wether you want to always accept or decline them.
