MTGForge 11/12 (unofficial BETA) version

[DennisBergkamp]

New version!
2250 cards.

Features/Fixes:
- Fixed Shuko.
- Fixed Asha's Favor, Blinding Mage and a variety of other issues in cards.txt (thanks Chris!).
- Fixed Magus of the Disk.
- Fixed Goblin Grenade, cannot cast it as an instant now.
- Added Rob's hasKeyword method.
- Silly Freak fixed some bugs relating to the property system.
- Fixed Thought Courier, Blightspeaker, Cackling Imp and Stern Judge (somehow these were left out of CardFactory_Creatures when I split up CardFactory).
- Zerker fixed Manapool issues! Also, Dark Ritual etc. shouldn't produce Snow mana anymore.
- Silly Freak managed to create a deck importer! (which basically converts an old all-decks2 file to the new deck format)
- Changed "This card does not untap during your untap phase." keyword to "This card doesn't untap during your untap step.", and added "This card doesn't untap during your next untap step." keyword.
- Added "Whenever *any text goes here* put into a graveyard from the battlefield,*any text goes here*" keyword. It doesn't do anything, but it notifies the program that the card triggers on whenever a card gets put into a graveyard from the battlefield.
- AEther Spellbomb should be fixed.

Bunch of new cards.

Just downloaded the 11/12 BETA and created a deck. I receive the following error when I start a new game using the deck I created and when using one of the included decks.:

[DennisBergkamp]

Oh, this means you gave the AI a deck with not enough lands. Disable Stack AI lands, or give the AI a deck with more lands

[CatzPaw164]

I disabled stack AI lands and things seem to be working just fine... thanks!

all rarities for MTG Forge 11-12-2009

This archive contains updated rarity files for MTG Forge 11-12. I added the missing rarity values for the 11 new cards that were included in version 11-12. This set is not compatible with earlier versions of forge.

This archive now contains only one set of rarity files. These files have had a rarity value assigned to all of the cards except for the basic lands, basic snow lands, Cruel Bargain, Infernal Contract and Rares three fantasy cards.

As of version 10-02 these rarity files now go inside of the res folder and are now of no use to you if you place them in the root folder. You can place a copy inside of the res folder and a second copy inside of the quest folder.

[Mr.Chaos]

Thanks guys.
I passed on the previous version after reading about the many mana bugs.
But since those seem to have been fixed, and Goblin Grenade got updated (for my gobliiins deck), I will try this version.

On a totally unrelated note: why am I, and many others along with me, so addicted to this buggy mess of a program?

[Mr.Chaos]

Ok, you got me. I start the game and when selecting a deck, I see just a few test decks.
I snooped around and there is actually an "all-decks" file but that seems to be not used.
Even replacing the included all-decks file with my previous one, form the 17/10 version does not give me my decks back.

How do I get my decks into this new version? (Appart from manually importing each one seperately again )

[Marek14]

- Silly Freak managed to create a deck importer! (which basically converts an old all-decks2 file to the new deck format)

How do I use the importer?

Also, it seems that this version comes with a bunch of "test decks" for new cards...

[apthaven]

A many thanks as always to the entire Forge crew

Just like the posters above me are saying... how does the importer work?

[DennisBergkamp]

Hmm, I'm actually not sure... Silly Freak should be able to answer this question.

I thought maybe just deleting the contents of /res/decks and then making sure all-decks2 in /res/ has all of the decks, then starting up Forge would do the trick, but it doesn't

[Mr.Chaos]

And where is this all-decks converter tool then? I cannot find it anywhere in the folder of the game.
Feeling a mixture of stoopid/confused/disappointed. Hoping it will pass...

[Triadasoul]

Not all old decks could be imported:

Deck cannot be cast to forge.Deck

I don't think there's a separate tool, I think it's supposed to happen automatically whenever forge is started. I dunno, maybe I misunderstood as well, Silly Freak explained it this way, or somewhere along these lines.

[Triadasoul]

Some minor stuff:
1. Boreal Druid should be snow creature
2. Klaas, Elf Friend doesn't have picture
3. Cunning Lethemancer discard could be cancelled then

2. Klaas, Elf Friend doesn't have picture

If I'm not mistaken Klaas, Elf Friend isn't a legitimate MTG card. It is a special exclusive card that Forge has along with Tortuga.
