Formal Request Thread

[thefiremind]

OK, I managed to make a working Gomazoa, and the code resulted even shorter than I thought, thanks to the power of Lua tables that can use anything as index.

The game doesn't crash anymore!
The ability seems to trigger (= a circle of shining light appears during the upkeep when the Undead Gladiator is in the graveyard) but does nothing else... I never have the choice to pay the cost of the ability, and I pass to the draw's step.

BTW, I've got another issue when I create a decklist. The game adds automatically 255 lands in the deck. How can I fix this?

BTW, I've got another issue when I create a decklist. The game adds automatically 255 lands in the deck. How can I fix this?

There seem to be two common scenarios where this occurs:

• In decks that have no basic land.
  • Solution: Have a LandConfig block in the deck with ignoreCmcOver="0".
• In decks that have a LandConfig block using the numSpellsThatCountAsLand attribute defined with a value greater than 0.
  • Solution: The numSpellsThatCountAsLand seems to have issues in DotP 2014 so the easiest way to fix problems associated with it is to simply remove that attribute from the LandConfig block. You can still define how much basic land should be in the deck using the minLand attributes (minForest, minSwamp, minPlains, etc...).

Hmmm, anyone has any of these?

Shadowmage Infiltrator
Oona, Queen of the Fae
Thornling
Mirror-Sigil Sergeant
Krond the Dawn-Clad
Master of Cruelties
Tariel, Reckoner of Souls

Cool, it's working.

[Rari]

Hmmm, anyone has any of these?

I just happened to make Mirror-Sigil Sergeant last night.

Edit below: Added a few more. Also, you'll need DATA_DLC_TFM_OTHER from thefiremind's DLC for a few of these.

Shadowmage Infiltrator
Thornling
Krond the Dawn-Clad
Tariel, Reckoner of Souls
Uril, the Miststalker

That leaves your list with these unfulfilled:
Oona, Queen of the Fae
Master of Cruelties
Nirkana Revenant

Also, I need to request Knight of New Alara if anyone has it or has any suggestions - I tried to put it together, but didn't have any luck.

This sort of works but maybe you can figure it out. Sometimes when I cast a multicolored creature it causes the game to freeze. I didn't see any script errors. If a multicolored creature spell resolves it seems to work correctly.

As for your code, you'll need to define "source" in your filter block or else use EffectSource(). I don't think ChromaCount is the way to go because of cards like Dryad Arbor or incase a card grants another card a different color (e.g. Rise from the Grave).

edit - Sorry, I don't think Master of Cruelties is possible without too many approximations.

I think oCreature isn't defined in your code, you should use local oCreature = FilteredCard(). again, I'm not sure about this since you say it works somehow.

Haha yea you are right I fixed it. That's funny since I commented on the same thing for Rari's code. It still doesn't work in some instances. If I have a multicolored creature on the battlefield, then play the Knight everything is ok (for some reason the old code without oCreature defined worked here as well). If I play another knight it still doesn't freeze. But, if I play a different multicolored creature it freezes while the spell is on the stack. There could be something wrong with the 2nd multicolored creature card I'm testing with since I just made it to test this card. Idk.

Is it possible to code Mirror Universe? I am thinking this might make a great combo with a necropotence deck.

The pain is the upkeep part... the game doesn't give you a time window during the upkeeps even if you have something you might want to do, so cards like this need a "dummy" upkeep trigger that lets you activate the ability in response.

Hindering Light

I was curious to see if I could code it properly, and it seems I did it.
It scours the spells' targets searching for you or a permanent you control, but only in target chests from 0 to 9, and in registers from 0 to 99 in each of those chests. It should be enough anyway, unless someone uses target chest 10 in a card just because he feels special... The alternative would have been to loop through the chests and the registers until a nil has been found, but there's no guarantee that the nil value isn't just a "hole".
