dont know if this is a bug or not, but:
i tried to play a draft game. i picked my cards, the computers picked theirs. then it said to save my deck so i could edit it. i saved it, then tried to load it, and whoala it wasnt there! couldnt load it. dont even think it saved it. yes i did it right (as to save it im not that dumb). also when i download other ppl's deck ideas they dont work. but i am using the newest vers. 01/01/10 make.

About not being able to import decks: A few versions ago, there was a total change done to how decks are used in the game. This means that most of the older decks are no longer compatible with the latest beta versions.
Just try downloading the latest offered decks and import them in the editor. Make sure you save the deck, no need to change the name. Then the deck should be available in the deck selector in the main game menu.

No idea about the draft problem, sorry. (I am no coder,just a player)

This is an old problem that Gando figured a workaround for. After the draft, I always exit Forge and then get back in before trying to edit the draft file (just the first time after each draft -- once the editor "sees" the draft file everything is fine). The problem doesn't happen every time, but often enough that I don't ever risk it any more.

I got an option to activate second ability of Ajani Vengeant when it only had 1 loyalty counter.

Perhaps a related bug: I just got the option to fire off Sarkhan Vol 's ultimate ability when he only had 3(!) loyalty counters. He had gotten up to 6 counters my previous turn, but the computer attacked him for 3.

[Niv-Mizzet]

This is from a couple of versions ago, but it probably hasn't been changed since then. If the computer controls a Knight of the Reliquary, it never seems to attack with it, no matter how big it gets, if it's able to activate its land ability.

Maybe once it reaches a certain size, like 6/6 or bigger, unless there are blockers in the way, it could prioritize attacking over using the ability.

It also resulted in the famous: "computer is thinking" screen, see attached screenshot.
Compy uses a merfolk deck I made, I use i12win-V4.So it's blue vs white and blue caved in. This is the 2nd game, I won the first one so I guess compy is just trying to avoid another defeat here. It all happened during compy's turn.
(I know the screeny is small, I just try to keep the size within the limits of what I can upload.)

That one's weird... Ajani Vengeant's second ability was bugged because it missed some code (fixed now), but Sarkhan Vol ultimate should really only work when you have 6 or more loyalty counters.
I noticed another bug with Sarkhan Vol however, after using his second ability, you can use either of his other abilities on the same turn (or you can use his second ability again and again until counters run out). This allowed me to target the same creature I just took control of (again), and caused it to stick on my side forever. Easy fix though...

The bug you got Mr Chaos, is the AI messing up on the targeting part of Merfolk Sovereign... I just rewrote it, hopefully that'll fix things

I'll add some code to Knight of the Reliquary to make sure it will attack more often.

[Almost_Clever]

Ok, why is the computer still in the game? I knocked him down to 1 life with my last attack and then its Phyrexian Arena dropped its life down to zero. Yet, the game is not over.

[DennisBergkamp]

Whoa, that's crazy. Did the came end though, a phase or two later ?

By the way AC, did you get a chance to test Adarkar Valkyrie in the 01/01 version? I think those bugs should be fixed now...

[zerker2000]

Note about:

a phase or two later

Speaking of which, aren't SBE's supposed to be checked at end of phase?

The computer was able to get past its attack phase, cast a creature in its second main phase and then die (finally!) before I got priority at the end of the turn.
I haven't checked out the Adarkar Valkyrie yet, I'll try to look at it later today after work.

Yeah, it's supposed to, but I guess it's not doing it... especially during the Computer's turn this seems to be a problem.

Trying to download HQ pictures
50 were downloaded successfully but then I got an error:

Code: Select all

it's really strange exception description... I'm still connected to internet

to check this, I've deleted allied_strategies.jpg and restarted the program (I use SVN version). it again downloaded allied_strategies.jpg and failed on Kabira Crossroads:

seems url is not correct

and suggestion: why not to allow to continue downloading? doesn't it make sense?

[nantuko84]

here the small fix for download (both HQ and LQ)

if some error occurs, the exception is still displayed but then Download dialogs asks you if you want to continue downloading.
at least it helped me to download HQ pictures and need to say that there are much more than 1 not correct url.

[DennisBergkamp]

Very cool, thanks Nantuko
