Hello Dan!

Could you please merge in the BFZ cards from svn? I think they are nearly complete.

Thanks,
Traldar

If my posting here is in error please accept my apologies but I am out of options and at a loss for a solution. It is my hope the actual developer of Forge sees my cry for help and takes pity on me.

In the fewest words possible, this is what happened. I put Forge on my galaxy s5 active two days ago. Worked perfectly. Yesterday I noticed that my phone photo gallery had some 200+ new images that I did not put there. Many were just random letter and number combinations while others were clearly Forge related and there was even one with the Simpsons (I've no idea why). I suspected that these were put there as part of the Forge installation process being they showed up after I installed it. I deleted them all and then Forge stopped working, it would go immediately to a black screen. I uninstalled and reinstalled only to have the same issue happen. I installed multiple cleaning apps thinking there were some leftover junk files preventing the new install from working (ccleaner, clean master, etc) but even that has not worked. At this point I am considering a factory reset but I am hoping to avoid that.

Has anyone out there encountered this? Is a solution known? Again, I am sorry if this is entirely in the wrong place of the forum and I would humbly request leniency should this be in violation. I only post here out of desperation and the fact I loved Forge for the day I had it, it is the best Magic app I have ever seen.

Thanks for reading.

Have you tried deleting the Forge/res/ folder from your SD card then restarting the app? That's where most of Forge's files live, and if you delete that folder you should be given the chance to download those files again the next time you start the app. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to offer another suggestion. Glad you like the app and I want to do what I can to help you get it working again.

I just released 1.5.46.003, which I'm excited to say includes the new Battle for Zendikar expansion. You should now be able to build decks and play limited with the new set.

In addition, this release adds a new Quest World option to advanced search for both cards and decks, and includes a fix for Convoke so you don't get prompted to pick a color when you tap a multicolor creature unless that creature can pay for multiple remaining colors on the cost.

Lastly, this release increases the threshold at which tablets switch Landscape mode, so mini-tablets should now go back to using portrait mode. I'll look into making this configurable in the future.

Note that there still might be some bugs with the new BFZ cards, as this release is ahead of the Beta release that will contain them. Feel free to report any such bugs to this thread between now and when the next Beta is released.

Thanks and enjoy the new set.

Hi,
I have always the landscape mode in my Mipad. Can I force to portrait ?

Is that even after the update? Ok, I'll work on a configuration option right now.

[Leap]

Yes the new version. And thanks for an option you are amazing

To drdev,

I cannot recall if I saw anything Forge related on my phone's SD after uninstalling initially. However yesterday I just factory reset the phone and it worked again flawlessly. However today there was an update and the moment I downloaded the update my photo gallery has become full again with the same motley crew of pictures. I'm leaving them this time but I can say with absolute certainly the hundreds of random pictures are definitely related to Forge (that is not a complaint however).

But anyway, thanks for replying. Love this app! Best deck tester ever.

I just released 1.5.46.004, which includes a new setting to switch between Landscape Mode and Portrait Mode. The default will still be Landscape Mode for tablets and Portrait Mode for phones. Note that a restart will be required to change this setting, however I've built in support for an auto-restart if you choose to do so after changing the setting.

Here's an idea of what this looks like:

Thanks drdev, I can enjoy forge and BFZ on my new tab .

It looks like Constructed Variants are broken at the moment on mobile except for Momir Basic (which works). I tried Vanguard, Planechase and Archenemy and got a NPE in the mobile version at the following location:

forge.deck.DeckFormat.getDeckConformanceProblem(DeckFormat.java:165)
forge.match.GameLobby.startGame(GameLobby.java:351)
forge.screens.constructed.LobbyScreen$5.run(LobbyScreen.java:260)

On desktop, they seem to work fine except for one thing. There's an issue with Vanguard on Desktop too: turning it off does not turn it off (so, basically, you choose "Vanguard" and play a game, then you exit to the main menu and uncheck "Vanguard" and start a new game, but Vanguard is still turned on. You have to restart the game to make it go away).

Hi,

I'm kinda new around here. I tried the Forge app and it seems to work great. Thanks. But I have a question.

What is exactly the full path for the images? I got the torrent of HQ images for Magic Album and the path is like this for example: ...\Pictures\Expansions\Dragons of Tarkir\ENG.zip

Or:
...\Pictures\Core Sets\Magic 2014\ENG.zip

I extracted ENG.zip so all images sit on "Dragons of Tarkir" and then tried putting them in ...\Pictures\DTK but those options don't work (always pointing Forge to "Pictures" for the images).

Also, where do tokens go? All in one folder for tokens or the respective tokens in each of the sets folders? Or maybe a "Tokens" folder inside each set?

I tried looking around but didn't find the complete path structure for images.

The planeswalker commanders (I.E. Deretti Scrap Sevant) are not able to be set as a commander. The game wont recognize them as an eligible commander. Would appreciate a fix.

Just wanted to jump in for a moment and say thank you for creating an android port. I'm very happy with Forge in general and it's very nice to have it on my phones. There is of course room for improvement and I check the forums here quite frequently just to see how things are progressing. Even so, it's very playable as it is and it's a great piece of work. Thanks for the effort and I look forward to seeing it progress.
