Forge 06/12/2011 (unofficial BETA) version

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

8269 cards in total.

This version is based upon the revision # 9621 which is found on our SVN.


This version includes some new cards, bug fixes and a few new quest opponent decks. The developer mode at the new game window gives us a few new features to this option. These new features will primarily interest the devs as it will now help to test out specific cards while testing combat code changes.

We are working on a new Maven system of building the project and the OS specific archives that we release with each beta. The Maven script will help to automate the process and should require less time to prepare the beta releases.

We have added a new section to the readme.txt file and it states:

"The server which contained the high quality card pictures is now off line and these high quality card pictures are no longer available as a download from within the forge application. We apologize, but the current dev team do not maintain this server and this matter is out of our control.

Some people are choosing to re-download all of the low quality card and card set pictures when they install the next version of forge. This consumes large amounts of bandwidth needlessly.

The server containing the set pictures is limited to 30 gigs per month. At the current rate the server will hit the maximum of 30 gigs per month long before we reach the end of the month. Please be careful!

When you install the new version of forge find the forge/res/pics/ folder. Either move it or copy and paste the pics folder over to the recently installed new version of forge. This way you will only have to download the pictures for the new cards.

This should save enough bandwidth that everyone will be able to download the new set pictures from the cardforge server. We do appreciate your efforts to save bandwidth."


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. There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to decompress these archives.


The Mac OS application version:

We have packaged the Forge 05/31/2011 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 form 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.

Fixes/Features:

Fixes / Features | Open

- Completed the initial implementation of the Setup Battlefield dev command (it uses an external file dev_battle.txt in the root folder of MTG Forge as data for how to set up the battlefield situation).
- Removed Chronicles (CHR) from the list of possible block drafts for now (see the discussion at the forum).
- Added a possibility to preserve human/AI life amount in the Setup Battlefield dev command.
- Changed the initialization of the number of each rarity in a pack. This fixes pack files that do not explicitly state the card count for a particular rarity causing the draft to crash.
- Maven build files. Can create Mac App bundle.
- Fixed Drafting Alpha and Beta - incorrect set codes in SetInfoUtil and the pack files.
- The AI will now anticipate regeneration abilities.

- Improved the AI of untap triggers.
- Added "SVar:RemAIDeck:True" to Blaze.

Awesome stuff!

[jhamma66]

Great work! Quick question... I have been trying to follow along, but it seems you can no longer create a deck in the main editor to use in Quest mode. Am I right and is there a way to do it?

[jendave]

I finished the fixes to the Maven build. I was able to fix the OSX build issues so now the OSX and Windows/Linux package creation is fully automated. I posted some details here:

`
Sorry, but this is no longer an option. Importing a deck into quest mode was more of an un-intended accident rather than a planned feature.

Ideally, people who start a quest would be given some options when they start a quest. But importing a strong, killer-type, tournament winning deck would defeat the purpose of quest mode.

But then again, people do want to play strong constructed mode decks against decks that the AI can use to good effect. They want an opponent that will challenge them. But this type of game should take place outside of quest mode?

Ah, good to hear Dave. I will join you over at the Maven topic.

[jhamma66]

I enjoy both to be honest. Starting with a limited pool and building up is great fun. Sometimes I enjoy testing out killer deck ideas in Quest mode too. It's fine either way but I know I'm not the only other player here who enjoyed doing it so if the option were to return I highly doubt we'd see any complaints.

Either way, FORGE rules!

Testing out killer decks in quest mode might bring some problems. Pets, buying or selling cards, the bazaar can slow you down if you just want to play a killer deck against strong AI decks that do not just up an quit on you.

It might be nice if the Random deck choice in constructed mode games picked quest decks for the AI. People have suggested a gauntlet mode which would select for the AI a series of quest deck opponents.

Testing out killer decks in quest mode might bring some problems. Pets, buying or selling cards, the bazaar can slow you down if you just want to play a killer deck against strong AI decks that do not just up an quit on you.

Well, you don't *have* to use the plant or pets and the bazaar is optional as well. I guess my point is that Forge represents an opportunity to play M:TG in new ways. Playing killer decks in Quest is just another way. There's no Leaderboards and no real reason to restrict players from doing it. I love the game and play it every day... just saying.

Hi,

1st off great work! I'm loving all the improvements this project is seeing lately.

One question, I have the pet tokens you included here and they show up in game but in the bazaar where you purchase the pet I just have a blank picture (I assume because there is no image in the token folder for this). If I can find some images to use here what would I name them to make them show up in game?

I recently started a quest and noticed that there were no pics displayed in the bazaar. I purchased the plant wall and the picture appeared.

I suspect that you have to buy or to upgrade a pet to get one of the pics to be scaled down to a size that will fit the picture box.

That's odd, I have bought the 0/1 plant wall but I still don't see a picture, just them empty box?

Oops, it looks like there are pics for the tokens folder and for the icons folder. Try this update:
