Battle for Zendikar - Checklist (Done, included in the CW)

[fallenangle]

I'd like to try my hand at Fathom Feeder and Oblivion Sower, if that's all right with everyone.

Also, Chakan, there are a number of cards on the list (e.g., Pilgrim's Eye, Anticipate, Bone Splinters) that have already been coded because they are reissues in BFZ. They'll need new art, but they're essentially already done.

[Chakan]

Yeah, I intend on working on that soon. Go for the cards, fallenangle. Let me know how it goes.

[Xander9009]

Regarding the processor ability, fallenangle sent me some apparently working code from Neo that doesn't require the exile manager. I'm not sure exactly why I was under the impression it was necessary, but it's a much easier method. It's just like any other zone. I think what it must have been is that exiled cards can't be targeted. That doesn't mean they can't be filtered, though, which I think is how I interpreted it. I'm not sure. It was quite awhile ago.

[Chakan]

You know more than I do. I can barely code the simpler cards.

[Chakan]

Alright, I'll cross these off the list. We're doing pretty good here. I'll have the cards I said I was going to do done soon and I'll do some more tomorrow.

Sorry for stealing Fathom Feeder from you. I thought I'd removed my local copy of all of the cards others said they were going to code but I missed these two. I only realized it when I got to Oblivion Sower and recognized the ability as one I'd noted I didn't have to worry about. So that one's not done yet. (My local copy is the template for each card from TFM's generator. Just for the record.)

That's all of them except Zada, Hedron Grinder, the 15 awaken cards, and the cards others have already reserved.

Left to do:

• Code awaken cards.
• Change Blight Herder to use simpler code.
• Find the remaining art.
• Change ArtIDs of cards already coded to use BFZ art.
• Correct Ingest help text being present on Devoid cards.
• Test all cards.

The art I have can be found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-cZn ... 3o5T3pieFk. Please follow the naming used there (card name, properly capitalized, followed by (token) or (promo) where applicable).

HQ Art and testing are the next steps except for the cards being done by others and the Awaken cards, which I'll try to get done tomorrow.

WOW! 65 cards just today, 127 over the last 3. I think I pulled my weight hahaha.

There will be a few missing. I think only the ones that were initially misspelled should be missing, and those are all detailed in one of my earlier posts. I'll try to do those tomorrow, too. Once I'm done with those and the awaken cards, I'll see if any others are missing.

EDIT: Speaking of the art, no one ever gave their opinion on whether the art should be renamed or not. viewtopic.php?f=109&t=17714&start=15#p186521

[Xander9009]

Just did all of the cards I saw that were missing.

So that's another 39 done. (166 total for me. Man I did way more than expected. I just want them all done by the release haha. So, if you guys don't get those done tomorrow, expect me to possibly swipe them... If awaken goes well...)

[fallenangle]

I won't have a chance to work on Oblivion Sower until tomorrow, so if you want to swipe him, feel free, I'm just glad we'll have all these cards available by the time of release. Way to go, Xander!

By the way, I think that your idea for checking art ids using the CARDNAME　field is good. You're in charge of the CW, anyway, so I think it should be up to you. Just be sure you post an example to the forum so that we know how to code things properly in the future.

[Xander9009]

Alright, then I'll work on that when I'm done with Awaken, which I'm working on now. I think it's working, but it needs tested a bit before I do the same thing with the other 14 cards.
EDIT: And I'm glad you like the idea for the art. If we go that route, I think it'll be a lot cleaner. And yeah, I'll post examples and I'll also get all of the current ArtIDs changed in the CW, so they could be referenced as examples as well. Also, while I suppose I am in charge of it, I feel like I'm more of a groundskeeper than a anything. I just try to keep it presentable.

[Chakan]

Xander, you're on a roll man. Hey, if you're still itching to do some more cards, I still never got around to doing the cards I said I was going to do in that post of mine, so you can do those too if you want.

Also, when I send you the BFZ cards I've done, I'll also be sending you misc. cards I've done over the months.

[Xander9009]

This one? viewtopic.php?f=109&t=17714&start=15#p186495

Also, update: I've gotten Awaken working. It does everything it's supposed to do EXCEPT allow the cost to be reduced and only/always allow it to be cast when it should be. It should allow the cost to be reduced according to the rules, I think, but it doesn't, and I don't think that's possible. The timing is tricky. I thought I had one working at one point, but I lost that copy of the card and couldn't get it working the same. It'll allow instants to be cast any time and it'll allow sorceries to be cast only if it "IsSorceryTime()". I based it on the code Neo made for overload. It consists of a series of checks which grant it one of two abilities.

One thing I was worried about was that the engine doesn't support separate duration tags inside a single ability, so all continuous actions must have the same duration. This meant that for cards to work that had an EOT clause or something, they had to be made more complicated by putting that part of the ability in a separate, delayed-trigger ability so they wouldn't interfere with one another. However, a realization hit me that the overload ability is like that because the main ability targets and the other ability doesn't; the two have different, mutually exclusive effects. Awaken, however, has one effect which will always happen, and the additional one which sometimes will. So, I reworked it a bit, and it's now not only a bit simpler, but the main ability is now properly in its own tag. This means that future awaken cards will be a snap to code, because the awaken ability now fully works right out of the generator. Only the main ability may need coded if it was too complicated. (A note, just for future reference, compartment 0 is in use by the awaken ability. Targets and other things should avoid that, even in their main ability. I don't know why this mattered, but Mire's Malice didn't work until the two completely separate abilities used different compartments for their targets.)

I'm testing the last few changes now (those changes being the compartment issues mentioned above). All awaken cards as well as Halimar Tidecaller are uploaded and should be available in the next repack, which I'll force when I get the last of the cards added.

Directly to fallenangle, Chakan, and Misplay: if you have cards you haven't uploaded, you should upload them or send them to me when you get the chance. I'm trying to get it packed and uploaded with all of the cards (minus the impossible Zada, Hedron Grinder) by the end of today. It's already this close to being ready. Might as well beat the official release if we can haha. While the official developers are delaying the release of 150 of the cards in Magic Duels, we'll have all ~250 available now. (Sorry. I'm just really amused by that.)

[Chakan]

Sounds like they need people like us working on Duels.

And yeah, Xander. That's the post.
