Sheoldred is in GXSC's 2010 WAD. I think Scion of Darkness also coded him for his Reanimator deck.

I've been trying to code a "player only" version of Launch the Fleet, but the XML Validator I use keeps saying there's an error in line 49. I can't seem to find where I've gone awry. Would anyone mind taking a look at my code and pointing out how I might fix it? Thanks in advance for all of your help.

[volrathxp]

Strive is one of those mechanics that I'm honestly sure isn't possible, unless its done as an additional cost of some sort, but it would have to know to increase the cost which I do not believe is doable. At least I have yet to see a way to do this.

That being said, instants/sorceries don't typically have activated abilities because theyre not permanents. Delayed trigger abilities can certainly show up on them, but not activateds.

[gorem2k]

I've made this in case somebody would want it, but the real reason is because I like the picture

The XML validator is complaining because you have this:

Code: Select all

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY resource_id="1
<TRIGGER value="ATTACKING" simple_qualifier="self" />

You forgot to close the resource_id attribute and the TRIGGERED_ABILITY tag so it should look like this:

Code: Select all

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY resource_id="1">
<TRIGGER value="ATTACKING" simple_qualifier="self" />

Though even once you fix that you have lots of other XML problems, plus DotP problems. For example you have nested abilities (which you can't do, but XML won't complain about that), you have XML blocks that you never close (there is an ACTIVATED_ABILITY block that never gets closed), you have two abilities with resource_id="1", etc....

And Launch the Fleet is not possible to properly code.

Strive is one of those mechanics that I'm honestly sure isn't possible, unless its done as an additional cost of some sort, but it would have to know to increase the cost which I do not believe is doable. At least I have yet to see a way to do this.

It can't be done because it has to change the cost based on targets, but has to be cast before targets can be selected.

That being said, instants/sorceries don't typically have activated abilities because theyre not permanents. Delayed trigger abilities can certainly show up on them, but not activateds.

Actually, you can put ACTIVATED_ABILITYs on an instant sorcery if you are granting them to another card that is a permanent, but this card isn't doing that so the ACTIVATED_ABILITYs here are wrong.

I've been trying to code a "player only" version of Launch the Fleet, but the XML Validator I use keeps saying there's an error in line 49. I can't seem to find where I've gone awry. Would anyone mind taking a look at my code and pointing out how I might fix it? Thanks in advance for all of your help.

The XML validator is complaining because you have this:

Code: Select all

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY resource_id="1
<TRIGGER value="ATTACKING" simple_qualifier="self" />

You forgot to close the resource_id attribute and the TRIGGERED_ABILITY tag so it should look like this:

Code: Select all

<TRIGGERED_ABILITY resource_id="1">
<TRIGGER value="ATTACKING" simple_qualifier="self" />

Though even once you fix that you have lots of other XML problems, plus DotP problems. For example you have nested abilities (which you can't do, but XML won't complain about that), you have XML blocks that you never close (there is an ACTIVATED_ABILITY block that never gets closed), you have two abilities with resource_id="1", etc....

And Launch the Fleet is not possible to properly code.

That being said, instants/sorceries don't typically have activated abilities because theyre not permanents. Delayed trigger abilities can certainly show up on them, but not activateds.

Right right, that's what I meant.

I just want to say thanks again to Riiak and VolrathXP What you two said, particularly about nested abilities, put me on exactly the right track. I ultimately went with a similar workaround to the one I used on Chord of Calling, and it worked fine. Again, what I used is a workaround that is only possible for players using manual mana, but at least the card does what I want it to now. Thanks so much!

Does anyone know where I can find the following cards, since I'm building a mill deck:

Nephalia Smuggler (It was from the Avacyn Restored block)
Mindeye Drake
Shriekgeist
Crosstown Courier
Dreadwaters

[braquio]

Shriekgeist is on BloodReyvyn Mod

I dont know if someone has the rest, but u can try to code them, seems easy to do it.

Thanks! I'll go through them and let you know if I find any issues!

So I'm a little embarrassed to admit this but I don't know how to export the XML and TDX files into a WAD file or make them viewable in the DotP 2014 Deck Editor. I was trying to figure it out last night. I went to tools and clicked on "Create a Custom Data Folder", and I copied the XML and TDX files into what I think are the appropriate directories, but when I tried to "Create a Core WAD File" from that folder, the cards still didn't show up. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks again.

[sweetLu]

If I remember correctly the Custom Data Folder from Riiak's editor should serve as your core wad so you won't need to repack it (unless you really want to). If you haven't already try adding that folder to your directory and then the xml and tdx files in the appropriate spots (xml in the cards folder and tdx in the illustrations folder, or something like that). After you at them you may need to refresh the deck builder so it will recognize them.

[GarrukSmith]

You know, I swear I tried that, and it didn't work, but I'll fiddle with it again. Maybe I put them in the wrong directories, but that sounds like what I did. Thanks for the reply!
