Forge Beta: 10-03-2014 ver 1.5.28


14277 cards in total.


Release Notes

- New Khans of Tarkir cards -
Forge now includes many of the new Khans of Tarkir cards. It may take a few days/weeks before these new card pictures become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Card Pictures" button. The LQ set pictures tend to take a few more weeks/months to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient. The Forge devs are not involved in maintaining the servers that house these pictures.


- New Achievements -
Added new achievements for 19 alternate win conditions and 52 Planeswalker ultimates.
Added five new tier achievements.
Trophies now have slick custom art that can be downloaded separate.


- New Commander 2014 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.


- There will not be a 1.5.27 beta version -
We will not be releasing a 1.5.27 beta version and the next beta version will be numbered 1.5.28. Beta 1.5.27 was an internal test version in an effort on our part to improve the build and deploy process.


- Quest Draft Improvements -
Quest drafts have been updated to be more valuable to your quest!
Bug fixes: Drafts now correctly rotate based on wins and quest preferences. Booster pack prices are now correctly calculated when presenting awards. No more 500+ alpha booster packs. Sorry! Other misc. fixes as well.
Now, when you place first or second, you will get to pick a rare in the drafted block's pool to keep. This is in addition to the already existing prizes.
Additionally, when you spend draft tokens, you no longer receive a random draft. Instead, you get to pick which block the new draft will be (but you still have to pay for it!), completely eliminating the game of chance.


- Boolean Expressions Finished -
Yes, again! They say the third time's the charm, and, well, it is! Boolean expressions have undergone a complete rewrite again with a slightly different method of parsing that works much better.
Parenthesis work correctly, order is preserved, and NOT operators are applied in the correct places (and also in the correct order). This means that what you expect is what you really get!
There's one big change to note: The operators have been shortened to one character. They are now: & | ! \
The only conflicts the AND operator has is a few Unhinged/Unglued cards (which aren't even in Forge), but you can use the escape operator (\) to tell it you really meant to use the & (and that's assuming these cards ever get added to Forge).
There's a couple cards with exclamation points in their names, but again, you can escape that character to search for them.

A few examples of possible expressions:

> Search by type: All warriors or cats that aren't zombies, vampires, orcs, or skeletons.
(warrior | cat) & !(zombie | vampire | orc | skeleton)

> Search by mana cost: All non-red cards.
!r

> Search by mana cost: All non-red, non-black green cards that are also either blue or white, but not only blue or white.
!(r|b) & (g & (u | w))

> Search by mana cost: All red or black cards that are not also green and blue or green and white.
(r|b) & !(g & (u | w))

> Search by mana cost: All cards that cost 4 colorless mana.
!(w | r | u | g | b) & 4

> Search by text: All cards that have both Lifelink and Vigilance printed in the rules text.
lifelink & vigilance

These examples should get you started with this powerful-now-that-it's-finished feature. Enjoy!


- Trigger Fixes -
The long awaited fixes to Blood Artist/Deathgreeter triggering with multiple other creatures is finally here. There may be some residual oddness with other triggers, so please report those if you see them so we can get that worked out.

Known Issues

Issues list | Open

- Continued Work on Conspiracy -
Conspiracy is one of the strangest sets that have been released in some time. Currently, we have a few of the "Draft matters" cards scripted, although you'll find that they won't quite be available to you (unless you add them manually into a draft deck). Hopefully we'll get the appropriate functionality in so we can start including them in boosters and allowing you to add Conspiracy type cards straight to your deck the way you do every other variant card. We'll make sure to point out when all of these kinks have worked themselves out.

- The Mac OS application version -
We can now package Forge as a Mac OS application. You can double click the Forge.app icon to launch the forge application on your Apple computer running Mac OS. This application will automatically increase the java heap space memory for you as it launches. This version does not require the forge.command file and it does not need to start the Terminal application as part of the start up process.

The Mac OS X app version apparently requires the Mavericks OS and is not compatible with earlier OS X versions. People with earlier OS X versions should use the Windows and Linux version and launch forge on their Mac by double clicking on the included "forge.command" file.

- Magic 2015 cards -
It may take a few days/weeks before these new card pictures become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Card Pictures" button. The LQ set pictures tend to take a few more weeks/months to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient. The Forge devs are not involved in maintaining the servers that house these pictures.

There is a known issue with the cost reduction for cards that have color-locked X in their mana cost (e.g. Drain Life, Soul Burn). Cost reduction will not apply correctly to these cards if the amount by which the cost is reduced is greater than the amount of colorless mana in the mana cost specified on the card (e.g. 1 for Drain Life, 2 for Soul Burn). Fixing this issue likely requires rewriting the way announced color-locked X is interpreted and paid (most likely it has to be represented with colorless mana shards but still locked to the colors required by the card).

Several people have noticed that the cards displayed on the battlefield will fail to be displayed when the number of cards on the battlefield increases. Maximizing the human panel can help to re-display the cards.

Some time was spent turning the static ETB triggers into the proper ETB replacement effects they should be, mainly to interact correctly with each other. This work is not yet finished. As a result there is currently some inconsistencies with "Enters the battlefield with counters" (Not incredibly noticeable).

A recent contribution to the code base should fix some of the bugs that people noticed with cloning type abilities. At this time there is one remaining issue that we hope will be addressed in the near future:
Copies of cards that setup Zone Change triggers via addComesIntoPlayCommand and addLeavesPlayCommand will not function correctly.

The Forge archive includes a readme.txt file and we ask that you spend a few minutes reading this file as it contains some information that may prove useful. We do tend to update this file at times and you should quickly read this file and look for new information for each and every new release. Thank you.

The archive format used for the Forge distribution is ".tar.bz2". There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to extract/decompress these ".tar.bz2" archives. We recommend that you extract/decompress the Forge archive into a new and unused folder.

Some people use the Windows application 7zip. This utility can be found at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. Mac users can double click on the archive and the application Archive Utility will launch and extract the archive. Mac users do not need to download a separate utility.

Your timing is unfortunate, as I literally just committed a fix for Commander, which otherwise will crash on game startup I believe. Would it be worth quickly releasing an updated build before too many people take this one?

[Marek14]

You say that the & character appears on some Unglued/Unhinged cards, but the ! character is used on a few "normal" cards (Kaboom! and To Arms!).

[drdev]

You say that the & character appears on some Unglued/Unhinged cards, but the ! character is used on a few "normal" cards (Kaboom! and To Arms!).

It should be possible to simply not consider a "!" at the end of the search string as indicative of a regular expression since Or'ing with nothing isn't useful. Would that alleviate this concern?

[Fizanko]

For those interested , here are all lq ( 265x370 for KTK and 223x310 for DDN ) card images for KTK (Khans of Tarkir) and DDN (the Cunning vs Speed duel deck) :

http://www.mediafire.com/download/o4v0d ... /DDNlq.rar

(note : don't right click -> save as, that's not a direct link, it goes to mediafire download page)

All are coming from the mtgimage website , i just resaved and renamed them all for Forge compatibility.

[mastroego]

For 7 days delay we get Achievements, the trigger bug fixed, and we're down to 159 cards
Now I can play with the indestructible knights deck, with most of my units surviving a sweep

[friarsol]

Now I can play with the indestructible knights deck, with most of my units surviving a sweep

I'm not sure that will be fixed. That's an issue with static effects, not with triggers.

It should be possible to simply not consider a "!" at the end of the search string as indicative of a regular expression since Or'ing with nothing isn't useful. Would that alleviate this concern?

It currently only matches "!" at the start of a regular search (ex: !red is an expression) and not anywhere else (ex: red! is not an expression). I admit that I did not consider the case where (kaboom! | destroy) could exist and will add the constraints to search only at the start of a search term for ! operators.

Edit: And fixed! NOT operators can now only precede search terms. 'Kaboom! | Arms' will now evaluate as expected. The next snapshot on my site will include this fix.

Now I can play with the indestructible knights deck, with most of my units surviving a sweep

I'm not sure that will be fixed. That's an issue with static effects, not with triggers.

D'oh!
I seemed to remember someone linking that case to the Blood Artist bug.

Well, anyways, one less bug on the road to perfection

I am finding that this latest version of Forge is very slow passing through the different phases and it has freezed up on me a few times.

The last release was fine. Anyone else noticing the slowness?

[Fizanko]

I was wondering if it was just me because i had browsed the net a lot, had lots of tabs open, but it felt slower to me when playing a couple of duels on this new 1.5.28.

I'll have to test more when i will have time after a fresh reboot.

I have two issues.

First, and I think this is noted above, Commander games won't start. As this is the primary way I use the software, I would appreciate it if this were fixed.

Second, I can't seem to get the game to recognize that I have pics for certain sets. These sets are JOU, M15, and CNS. I downloaded the images and placed them in the appropriate directories, but the game won't use them. (I did this successfully for KTK using the above link; thanks.) I would really like to see these images; any assistance possible?

The commander bug was fixed by drdev in revision 27810 (after the 1.5.28 release as drdev mentionned)
You can see the list of commits the devs are making here :
http://svn.slightlymagic.net/websvn/log ... F&isdir=1&

So to play commander you'll need to download a revision = or superior to r27810 on Krazy The Fox website (at the time i write r27811 and r27812 are available).

For the images, it could be a problem of naming.
I uploaded CNSlq here a couple of months ago :

i did the same as for the KTK and DDN set, took them from mtgimages, resaved and renamed them.

Can you tell me if they work for you ?

edit : the M15lq and JOUlq i'm using in case the naming was indeed the problem for you.

No issues so far with Forge being slow or not recognizing card images (I just stick them all in the same card folder and it works).

I did see a bug with achievements though - everything seems to work fine, I get the achievement and everything, but this pops up at the end of some games:
(note: both games fit into the Alternate Win Conditions category - The Clique, The Edge)
