Forge 03/04/2011 (unofficial BETA) version

(Quest icons used created by Teekatas, from his Legendora set
http://raindropmemory.deviantart.com)

7205 cards in total.

This version is based upon the revision # 7088 which is found on our SVN.

This version includes additional work to the quest mode. Fnoed has fixed some bugs and has moved us farther away from the older GUI style. People will notice there is no longer a check box for old or new style GUI at the bottom left corner of the "Quest Options" window. The Quest Options window is now wider and the text displayed in this window should no longer be truncated.

Work continues on Ability Factory and Trigger. We have added additional new cards and have converted a number of existing cards using this new code. Almost 4800 of the cards included in forge use this new code. We are continuing to find the few bugs and will fix them as quickly as is possible.

Masher8, Sloth and Sol made some improvements to the attacking and blocking code. This is a work in progress and it will take some time to finish. While we will see some improvements on behalf of the computer it is impossible to make the computer as competitive as a highly ranked human being. At least the computer is starting to "show" an awareness of certain aspects of combat.

I found a utility to remove the hidden Mac-related files. I removed the ".SVN" and the /res/lib/ folders from this archive as they are not needed. We have changed the archiving format to ".tar.bz2" since this may help to store the file permissions for the Mac OS X launcher.


Many people helped with this version. A special thank you goes out to them:

Ack, I just missed it xP

Ack, I just missed it xP

`
Sorry about that.

Your update will be the first to be listed in the next beta.

[Chris H.]

Well folks, I waved a dead chicken over my heap and stuck a pin into the Eclipse voodoo doll. It looks like I was able to figure out how to use Eclipse to package this forge beta as a Mac OS application.

I am in the process of uploading to MediaFire. Please check back in short while.

[Chris H.]

We have packaged the Forge 03/04/2011 BETA version as a Mac OS application. You can double click the Forge.app icon to launch the forge application on your Apple computer running Mac OS. This application will automatically increase the java heap space memory for you as it launches. This version does not require the forge.command file and it does not need to start the Terminal application as part of the start up process. This version should only require java 1.5.

You can move a copy of your pictures and decks over to the Forge.app application. Right click or control click on the Forge.app icon. Select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. A Finder window will open and will display a folder named Contents. Navigate to the folder:

/Contents/Resources/Java/res/

Your decks can be placed in the decks folder, your pics can be placed in the pics folder, etc.

Awesome, people. Forge is the greatest...

I have a question about land enchantments:
I have a Plains enchanted by opponent's Lingering Mirage:
-My Plains' card description is
"*Enchanted by Lingering Mirage (118)*"
-The Lingering Mirage's description is
"Enchant land
Enchanted land is an island.
Cycling 2 (etc.)
Tap: Add W to your mana pool.
*Enchanting Plains (52)*"

It seems as though the plains should mention tapping for U and the Mirage should not mention tapping for W at all.

The same switch happens to my Savannah enchanted by opponent's Spreading Seas.

Thanks!

Edit: Are the tokens put into play by Hoofprints of the Stag supposed to have summoning sickness? Never mind - couldn't reproduce it.

Xitax,

There's an issue with those style enchantments where they were poorly coded and actually gain the abilities of the land they enchant. It does this so they can "regrant" those abilities after the enchantment leaves the battlefield. It is on the list of things to get around to, but since it's not a major issue, I'm not sure when someone will get around to it.

Nice! the AI really seems to understand regeneration abilities on its own creatures now.

A few oddities

The computer somehow blocked my Silkbind Faerie with a faceup Branchsnap Lorian (new blocking AI producing illegal blocks? I am sure there was no effect giving it reach)
My 5/5 Bonehoard token surviving combat with a 4/1 Lightning Elemental and a 2/2 Thunder Spirit(All the creatures go to the graveyard at the same time so my opponents creatures dying shouldn't save it)

Thanks for the hard work

Yea I've really been able to get the AI working on some of these fronts. I don't think the AI blocks yet with something it has the mana to regenerate, but there have been a bunch of improvements recently.

Unfortunately, the Bonehoard issue is exactly what you think it is. The opponents creature go to the graveyard "first" and the creature has enough toughness to survive by the time its checked. I'll see if I can find the code that does this and fix it to a two step system. One step for checking if something has lethal damage, and one step for destroying those things. That way things should work out more to how they should work. This has been around for a long time, and in most situations doesn't affect play, but there are clear corner cases.

The Mac app version is awesome! Thanks for packaging it up so nice and neatly! Keep up the great work everyone!

Thank you.

I gave the Mac version my best. For the most part it was a stab in the dark. I had to hack the Info.plist to finally get it to work. Not to mention waving the dead chicken.

I hope to figure out an orderly process that just works and does not require blind luck. It may take me some time.

I've been making the 'pet' cards as I go along, but what's the filename for the top-level plant? I tried 'g_1_4_plant_wall_deathtouch' but that's not it. Also, in the text card, 'gain 1 life' is listed twice.



EDIT: It's 'g_1_4_plant_wall'

EDIT 2: Aluren is unfairly broken right now. Computer can cast creatures for free any time, but I can't.

Did you try clicking on Aluren?

No. Oops. Thanks!

In the quest deck editor, what does the 'change picture' button do?
