Kieran: Taken deck request (2014)

[thefiremind]

Alpha Authority: anyone know how to make a creature only be blockable by one creature? I'm thinking GetCurrentCharacteristics():CanOnlyBlock_Set(), but has anyone used it?

CanOnlyBlock_Set accepts only EVASION_... constants as parameters, you can't do anything you want with it. We would need a "CHARACTERISTIC_CAN_BE_BLOCKED_BY_ONLY_ONE_CREATURE", which doesn't exist.

Runic Repetition: anyone know how to gather all cards with flashback? I don't know if there's a function or compartment or whatever specifically designed to recognize flashback...

You could make a list of card names that have flashback, and look for one of them. The problem is that there's no way in DotP2014 to target a card in the exile zone. You could choose your target in a PLAY_TIME_ACTION: it wouldn't be really targetted, but there are no cards that care about targetting something in the exile zone, so it should be a safe approximation.

Aww... I guess for now there's no way to make Alpha Authority...

I'm not used to PLAY_TIME_ACTION blocks so I will have trouble making Runic Repetition if it's in fact makeable. I hate the idea of making a list of card names with something and searching for a card with that name; not only are there well over 100 cards with flashback but when new cards are released with new sets you'd have to account for those as well, and it's just impractical (though I understand sometimes it's the only way to code a card).

P.S. I already coded in Twilight Drover. Did I forget to post it?

[GrovyleXShinyCelebi]

Oh yeah, I managed to make a few cards - including that Abhorrent Overlord you wanted.

[Kieran]

GrovyleXShinyCelebi, thanks I can go ahead and finish TheVelvetTeddyBear's deck now. Abhorrent Overloard was requested for his unlocks @ the last minutes. Also, I have a quick question: How do I link / hyper-link to the created decks using just the names of the decks instead of the using the full url? It's past time to list everything in the opening thread.

When you have a doubt about how to do something in a forum message, quote someone who did that, and see how it was done (there's no need to post the message afterwards).
Do you mean like this?

[Kieran]

Yes. And noted. Thanks TFM!

[GrovyleXShinyCelebi]

Alright, this should be the majority of non-Theros cards needed.

Does anyone have a list of cards from the Theros list already made?

[Nay]

While i was testing Dreadbore i found out it could target neither creatures nor planeswalkers.

I managed to make it work by replacing the targeting portion of the code with the one from Sorin, Lord of Innistrad:

Code: Select all

<TARGET_DEFINITION id="0">
    local filter = ClearFilter()
    filter:Set_Or()
    filter:Add(FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_CREATURE)
    local subFilter = filter:AddSubFilter_And()
        subFilter:Add( FE_CARD_INSTANCE, OP_NOT, EffectSource() )
       PLW_FilterNameSet(subFilter, "PLANESWALKERS", true)
    </TARGET_DEFINITION>

While i was testing Dreadbore i found out it could target neither creatures nor planeswalkers.

Our Planeswalkers are approximations and often need tweaks on the cards in order to be recognized as Planeswalkers. While your code works if you have the Planeswalkers pool installed, it won't work for people who don't have that. There's a way to make it 100% compatible:

Code: Select all

    <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0">
    local filter = ClearFilter()
    filter:Set_Or()
    filter:Add(FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_CREATURE)
    if PLW_FilterNameSet ~= nil then
       PLW_FilterNameSet(filter, "PLANESWALKERS", true)
    else
       filter:Add(FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_PLANESWALKER)
    end
    </TARGET_DEFINITION>

The "else" part isn't necessary, but I threw it in for the sake of completion.

Hey guys,

Awesome decks, I just wanna mention that when i select decks, flickering trinkets and ancient trap v2 appears twice, should I check for some files? I just installed the wads of those decks and also Radkos Pit. They end in same number (14) and if I add Radkos and ancient trap, the last is two times while Radkos is not. I tried changing some numbers but should I change something else?? Thanks

Alexbonobo, I'm not sure why why your decks are appearing twice. I suppose it has something to do with the UID numbers. Someone with more knowledge concerning this issue will be along eventually to help you out. Meanwhile, I'll start changing some numbers and see what I come up with.

Thanks for the request Pheonix56. I'll be posting 4 requested decks before the end of the day and I'll definitely scroll through your card list and see if I have the ones you need. If not, I'll request them and proceed when they're available.

Also, I have a quick question for anyone who can provide an answer: Is there a tutorial for making custom token cards? I tried to do a few per a request but the full art is not showing. Only the top part is visible and it looks really weird. Plus, how do I associate said token with a card and / or cards? Lastly, how do I force the game to not add lands to my / a particular deck? Do I have to edit a XML? Again, thanks everyone for all the hard work.

Many, many thanks! And another request/suggestion, could you please keep the first post updated with the awesome decks you're posting in this thread? It would make it easier and quicker for us to keep track of them or to get them in the future.

Thanks in advance. Please don't be mad at me if I ended up listing cards that can't be coded, I have little to no idea about this. :3

I noticed that alot of the cards requested are in the recent expansion, and so I'd like to ask a fairly tall request to this community. I'm probably not going to get the expansion anytime soon (mainly cause of a lack of interest in actually playing Duels 2014), so I was wondering if someone could send me all the cards and their art from the expansion pack. I'd REALLY love to see how alot of the expansion cards are coded officially, and I'd also like them there as a resource in case if anyone needs expansion cards in a future modded deck.

If anyone is willing to donate me the stuff from the expansion I'd be extremely grateful!

With that said, I did get Kederekt Parasite and Shocker done! Apologies for not doing it yesterday like I promised...

[drleg3nd]
