Basic Abilities and function calls

[Epiphany]

Not sure where to post this, but thought I'd let you know the following:

I was curious to see that "shadow" exists in the KEYWORDS.LUA file, and added it to a card just to see how it behaves.

Shadow works as intended, but I don't think the computer is able to react to it properly.

I was playing against the most basic green deck, and I attacked with my creature with shadow, he had a creature out without shadow (therefore couldn't block) but he put a giant growth on it anyway, for no reason, thus wasting the giant growth.

Maybe we should start a thread to report our random findings as we play around with the files?

First, make sure that the situation is actually unique and repeatable, because sometimes the AI makes boneheaded moves with normal cards.

If you want to start a topic about observations like this feel free.

hey epiphany i noticed that too, seems they have prepared for most used abilities in the LUA codes
what we dont know if they are ready to use in game.

Cool, I'm going to test it more when I get a chance today, but for now I've started a thread where we can discuss more random things like that, here:

Uresti, (or anyone) does the file called "A_CARD_TEXT.XML" have to be named that? Or can you have a WHATEVER.XML and as long as it's in the TEXT_DUELTIME folder it'll be included?

[Uresti]

no xxxx_CARD_TEXT is the format, mine is called "A" cuz the expansion is alpha

Lovely, thanks for the info!

Deck editor and tools. small deck editor will find all cards, full deck editor will have unnamed text displayed for custom cards.

have fun.

Once you make a deck, you will have to delete your profile to use it or it will be locked. That or use the unlock deck cheat described here.

I'm really struggling to create a new deck, I'm not sure what the problem is. I save under a new file name and I have the unlock secret menu to unlock everything, yet nothing new seems to show up.

you must use an UID that is on the younamedeck also there is a TXT that have all deck UID yoys must be there too..

Ah, I found the text file, lovely, thank you. It has things like this:

Code: Select all

[Teeth_of_the_Predator]
3187876383
49409
9427

[Hands_Of_Flame]
1775603612
49410
49428

[Wings_of_Light]
472247964
49411
49429

What are the two sets of numbers underneath each uid?

[Uresti]

those are a mistery for the univese

they seem to follow the number of the internal number of release DOTP 4900

Hmmm, I think the problem is actually that I'm trying to create my own expansion (Data_DLC_9998) but it's not working for some reason.

I've copied your Data_DLC_9999 folder, deleted the CARDS, DECKS, TEXT_DUELTIME and put my own card and deck and text_Dueltime files in there, but it doesn't recognise my new expansion in the game.

Any pointers for creating a blank expansion? Am I missing something somewhere?

Thanks for your patience so far! I must be testing it by now!

[Uresti]

edit the files that are in the data_PC
APPINFOXXXX change 9999 for 9998

Thank you!

So it wasn't a deck problem after all, it was an expansion problem. All sorted now. Thanks again for your help!
