Formal Request Thread

[migookman]

I would like to request Chorus of the Conclave and Sigil Captain.

[Xander9009]

I'd like to request Desperate Ritual.

EDIT: Also Temporal Fissure.

Splice isn't possible yet.

Temporal Fissure is done.

I would like to request Chorus of the Conclave and Sigil Captain.

Sigil Captain is done.

Question about Chorus of the Conclave (this is directed at anyone who can answer, not just migookman): I'm thinking the best way to do this is to make a additional cost utility resource ability such as on Firestorm (but with a resource_id, of course, to make it grantable) and combine that with Rise of the Hobgoblins (assuming that code works), and grant that ability to all creatures in all zones (obviously replacing the tokens with counters). Does that sound about right?

Splice isn't possible yet.

hang on! does that mean somebody's working on it?? I didn't think splice would ever be possible. I'm hanging out for Goryo's Vengeance

No progress, but there's a thread for it: viewtopic.php?f=63&t=17561

Unfortunately, I've consistently lacked either time or motivation to look into it myself.

Sort of, but with "enters the battlefield with that many +1/+1 counters" you have to make sure that the ability that adds the counters works on ZONECHANGE_TRANSITION not ZONECHANGE_END because it needs to have the counters before it enters the battlefield.

Additionally, since the ability is grantable you will need to make use of ObjectDC to set how much mana was paid (so you know how many counters to add) since LinkedDC() would be likely be shared among all cards being granted the ability so you would have conflicts when trying to cast one creature then casting another creature with Flash before the first has resolved. Using an ObjectDC would prevent such conflicts by linking to the reference of the card the ability has been granted to rather than using the reference of the card that granted the ability.

This'll likely be a nightmare to code so, sorry in advance.. lol

Would anyone be willing to code in Mycosynth Lattice ?

I already apparently asked in a completely wrong game, but, I'm hoping I found the appropriate thread this time.

Here's what I have, what I use, and what I'm looking for, just so I can be pointed in the right direction if I'm...derping.

Card(s) requested:
Mycosynth Lattice


Software used:
DotP 2014
Riiak Shi Nal's Deck Builder
CW auto-updater (.wad version)

I got the deck builder off some other...off-site link, that came with an older version of the community wad, so I've also got a few cards that have multiple copies in the deck builder, but, no Mycosynth Lattice. There are three cards with "Mycosynth" in the name though (Fiend, Golem, and Wellspring). None with "Lattice" in the name, however.

Thanks in advance either way.
Cheers!

[Xander9009]

This is the right place, but I'm sorry to say that card can't be coded. It's the third ability, specifically. We can't make it so mana can be spent as though it were any color.

[Clockwork Penguin]

If you combine it with the second ability, making all permanents colorless...would it be possible to just use a workaround by coding it to make all mana colorless? Since it basically makes everything (including cards in-hand) colorless?

Not complaining by any means, mind you.. I already figured that the card in question would be a nightmare to try and code in. Just suggesting a possible workaround.

How about Druid's Call ? (...Squirrel deck, ya'know? lol)

[Xander9009]

Druid's Call is possible, but I'm busy making the Battle for Zendikar cards.

The only way to do Mycosynth Lattice is to reduce the cost of all cards by their full colored mana cost and increase it by that same cost, but in colorless mana. This way, any mana can be used to pay to for any cards. However, this has two major problems.
1: Abilities can't be manipulated like this, and thus you couldn't pay their costs with any color of mana.
2: Mycosynth Lattice should make sunburst cards such as Clearwater Goblet and other cards such as Bringer of the White Dawn MORE powerful, but making all mana colorless actually makes them LESS powerful.

Another method would be to allow the player to manually convert any colors of mana they want to any other colors with a manual mana ability that costs . However, this has its own set of problems, if I recall correctly, though I don't remember what.

That also sounds like it wouldn't work with protection.

Painter's Servant has a similar ability with changing the colour, but from memory it was faulty because when Painter's Servant left the battlefield the effect remained. I seem to remember this was something that couldn't be coded correctly (unless it *was* just a coding error that can be easily fixed, in which case I'd be very interested in getting a working version of that).

How about Druid's Call ? (...Squirrel deck, ya'know? lol)

Druid's Call is not only possible but would be very easy to code if you've ever done any card creation at all (but I assume you haven't). If you're lucky I might do it tonight for you, but we'll have to wait and see. If somebody decides to do it in the meantime, please notify us here -- I will do the same if/when I begin coding it.

[Xander9009]

For Painter's Servant, I corrected that card. It should be working as far as I know, but it's been quite awhile since that came up, so it's possible it was still messed up and I simply didn't know how to fix it.

The problem, if I recall correctly, was that the color wasn't resetting because the game simply didn't register it was supposed to. So, I fixed that by adding a triggered ability to manually force a color reset. It's pretty complicated, being 3 times longer than the code that sets the color in the main ability, but I believe it worked.

Oh cool, thanks. That means I can add another deck to my mod Cheers!

Just be sure to test it first. haha
