More Opponents

[FinalHazard]

Hello

i'm getting tired of the same Quest Mode opponents/decks.
Is there a way to add new decks/opponents to the Quest Mode to play against?

You could do the following things:
- create/download new decks and add them to the folder where the other quest opponents deck-files reside
- create new decks and post them in the "new quest deck" thread, then they might be added to the next release (after scrutiny)
- play out all the different worlds with many other opponents

Agetian posted some compilations of decks that features an insane amount of them being fully AI-compatible, so if you are in need of opponents in quests, check those decks

I downloaded this deck pack: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=14492
They appear ingame and i can start a game but once i attack or use a spell the game crashes.
Any advice?

Which deck is crashing ?

[FinalHazard]

I tried alot and sofar every single one is crashing the game. So i assume they all do.

I noticed on another thread you're mentionning using them in a custom world, so maybe you have not defined those decks as quest decks correctly and probably use them as you downloaded them in their regular deck format

For a normal deck it start like that by example a regular deck named Cultist 1.dck

[metadata]
Name=Cultist 1
[main]
1 Avacyn's Collar|DKA
1 Black Cat|DKA
then all the other cards ...etc..

but for a quest deck you need to add more entries, as shown in bold

[duel]
[metadata]
Name=Cultist 1
Title=Cultist
Icon=isdcultist.jpg
Difficulty=easy
Description=A death cult is spreading in the region. (Dark Sacrifice)
Deck Type=constructed
[main]
1 Avacyn's Collar|DKA
1 Black Cat|DKA
then all the other cards ...etc..

[FinalHazard]

Can you tell me how edit those decks?

[Fizanko]

.dck files are in fact simple text files, so any text editor (even the simple notepad will do) is able to edit .dck files

[FinalHazard]

Oh thanks, i got it.

Hi guys, I have taken the liberty of made a custom world with the Ai playable deck from the abovementioned topics, it's in the attached file.
Extract it to your /res/quest/world folder.
Rename it as you like, now it's named Mad World (It's a very very)

Now, still a lot of work it's required, take it only as a little fun mod. I've not really test it (only 2 or 3 games with my running quest) and it worked. Trait it as a good add to the stock Forge quest mode.
All the decks are tagged as hard difficult, no icon, no description and no fun character name (all decks are named after their file name which, in most case, is self explanatory).

[Fizanko]

You should post your custom world here in the Forge Deck board so more people will notice it :
viewtopic.php?f=48&t=9457

Ok Fizanko, probably more people can work on this custom world to make it playable and even add it to the future Forge releases
