Forge 07/31/2010 (unofficial BETA) version

[Professor]

I dunno. Either I'm doing something wrong or the new GUI is a mess.

Clicking "Use New GUI" before a match leads to wild card resizing, black manapool cards, and seemingly random card placement. Whenever opponents did those kinds of things in a live match to confuse me, I'd call a judge. It's been generally painful to play.

Unclicking "Use New GUI" causes my game to play without visible lands, which the AI does fine, but I can't cast a spell.

I love all the cards and fixes, but if I can't see the game, sorry, but I'm voting for a GUI rollback.

Strange, this seems to work fine for me...
It's possible that your landpanel size is set to some tiny number... on your netbook, try replacing the contents of display_layout.xml (found in /res/gui) with the following:

`
This is the replacement display_layout.xml file that Dennis mentioned in his message. Download, uncompress and place this in your Forge/res/gui/ directory.

With this file you should play with the New GUI check box unchecked. All five zones/panels will be visible.

This bug fixed version should solve the last of the battlefield display issues.

This archive contains an updated version of the run-forge.jar file. This is from rev 1651 on the SVN. It also contains three new files and they should be placed in the /res/gui/ directory. These files are named:

display_layout.xml
display_new_layout.xml
gui.properties

The battlefield layout for the new and the old GUI displays now use separate display_layout.xml files. You will be able to shift back and forth between the new and the old style GUI battlefield displays. Once again, we thank Snacko for his efforts.

Can't wait! It's like having Megan Fox drop by the house only to find out her underwear has 128-bit encryption.

Thanks to Chris and Snacko for the "old gui" fix.

Even I have a hard time keeping up with all the new stuff. (Forge has many, many new features, which is a good thing.)

Hi. First, I've gotta say I love Forge to death, despite having only been playing on it for a couple of hours.
I was able to find a bug that I've been able to reproduce though.
It's only when you go second (which doesn't happen in the official release since the human always goes first) and the computer summons anything (typically a card with 0 cost, since it's the first turn) and leads to the stack (or when the upper-left box gets an orange outline). While normally you typically wouldn't be able to do anything (haven't even had your first turn yet!), you can put down a free land.
I discovered this while accidentally thinking it was my turn and clicking on a land, only to see it was the AI's turn. This is very much an unfair advantage in favor of the human player, since you'll get two lands on your first turn (assuming you have another to put down)
Again, thank you for your very hard work.

Edit: The part where I say "the upper-left box gets an orange outline" is half right, it doesn't work when it's the end of the opponent's turn.

The fix for this is in the codebase now.

Thanks guys! The new version is great!

First of all thnx for your hard work updating and improving the forge.The newest version is excellent and the new GUI seems smooth,even though there are bugs,but i'm sure that they will be worked eventually.My only suggestion,if i'm allowed to make one,is if it is possible to work the code of the new forge in order to run smoother,without lag issues, even in CPUs that they are not the latest tech.Thnx in advance and sry for my english.

My Emrakul just got Oust'ed

There were several bugs with Oust. The code for Oust was fixed and I hope to have a new release ready to go for this weekend.
