Forge Beta: 07-15-2011 ver 1.1.00 SVN rev 10781

(Quest icons used created by Teekatas, from his Legendora set

8614 cards in total.

This version is based upon the revision number 10780 which is found on our SVN.


This version and future versions will require java 6. There may still be a few people who are unable to install java 6 on the computer that they use to run the forge application. These people will have to use forge version 1.0.15. Forge version 1.1.00 and above will require java 6.

Braids is busy working on a number of improvements in the code base. People should notice a decrease in the start up time and performance improvements, especially for computers with less RAM. This is a work in progress and there may be other areas where improvements can be made.

Work on the new card scripting system is ongoing. We have new code to handle auras and cards with static abilities. This is a work in progress and it is not yet finished in this version.

Rob and Marc have worked together to add in a new feature which will overlay a card's image with a foil like film. A few random cards will have a foil like image in constructed mode games and possibly quest mode games. There is a check box on the New Game window that you can use to turn this feature on or off.

This version includes a large number of new cards from Magic 2012. Card images for these new cards are not yet available. We hope that these images will come online in a few weeks. Until then, please be patient.


We have changed the archiving format to ".tar.bz2". 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 07/15/2011 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.


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

Fixes/Features:

Fixes / Features | Open

• Clean up unused methods.
• More cleanup of deprecated classes. Eventually will move in what is still used into the current classes.
• Cleaned the changes.txt file.
• Beginning of the end for hard-coded Magic-specific lists. CardTypes and Non-Stacking Keywords are taken out of CardUtil. Probably not the best idea to hack the Constant object to hold dynamic data, but it works until someone else can do better.
• Added foiling option for constructed mode. Approximately 1:6 cards will be foiled with this option turned on.
• Added AF_ProtectionAll (should be the same params as AF_Protection with a ValidCards; it is not targeted for players at this point.)
• Removed the second copy of the card text for Feudkiller's Verdict.
• Converted Glory to script.
• GetDefinedSpellAbilities looking for triggered weren't looking at the Root SA. (Fix for Counterbalance.)
• Added a DevMode to allow you to play unlimited lands (well, 100) each turn you activate it.

• Issue 143 (ongoing). Reduce heap allocation by switching some data structures from Hash to Tree implementations. Advocate for use of new immutable iterator instead of getCards and getAllCards. The former grants unsafe access to the card database, and the latter uses a lot of heap space.
• Fixed Trigger_Always.getCopy().
• Removed old GUI code. Removed cloudgarden code. Refactored filter dialogs. They still need some work though.
• Remove ForgeFontConstants since we now using Java 1.6. Remove obselete GuiMultipleBlockers.

• Converted I and J cards from stPumpAll to StaticEffect
• Little fix.
• Converted most H cards from stPumpAll to StaticEffect.
• Issue 143 (ongoing). Estimated significant heap relief via removal of TWO unnecessary temporary lists in ReadCard, one of all card names and the other of all Card instances! Promoted ReadCard.zipFile from static bottom-feeder to classic homestyle member field. ReadCard now loads card directly into CardFactory's map; this means less code overall. Added some Javadoc describing CardFactory's use of two permanent Card collections. Changed field types in CardFactory to interface types. Removed silly progress bar from CardFactory.getAllCards; it was a very fast operation to begin with, plus its existence may have inadvertently promoted further unwanted use of getAllCards. Improved implementation of CardFactory's iterator method to act more like getCards and blessed it with Javadoc. Removed dead code, and commented out code that is unused according to Eclipse.
• Converted most G cards from stPumpAll to StaticEffect.
• Ultra minor. Remove unused import.
• Issue 143, ongoing. Accomplish some TODO items to use less temporary heap space by changing one-time iterations over CardFactory.getCards or CardFactory.getAllCards to use CardFactory.iterator instead.
• Converted most F cards from stPumpAll to StaticEffect.
• Adding some Basic AI for Attach Pump.
• Convert Holy Strength to AF_Attach.
• Progress monitor suite: Rename base interface to avoid name conflict with javax.swing.ProgressMonitor. Add dispose method.
• Added a size method to help progress monitors.
• Issue 143, ongoing. Use CardFactory.iterator in forge.GUI_Filter. Using the Filter *menu* in the deck editor to filter by name is now quite fast. Changed forge.CardFilter.cardListNameFilter's name to lower case, and changed it to accept an Iterable<Card> as its first argument instead of a CardList; because the latter implements the former, this makes the method usable in more situations without significantly changing any calls to it. Added style TODO items to the rest of the methods in forge.CardFilter.
• Issue 143, ongoing. More support for Iterator<Card> versus CardList. Add static method forge.CardList.filter(Iterable<Card>,CardFilter) to perform same actions on an Iterable<Card>; reimplement nonstatic method forge.CardList.filter(CardFilter) in terms of the former.
• Issue 143, ongoing. Use less heap by creating fewer large temporary lists of cards, favoring CardFactory.iterator instead. Eliminated one such list in each of these two files for generating 2 and 3 color decks.
• Ran set info script.
• Added proper handling of state triggers. (No intervening if-check, no going on the stack twice.)
• Cleaned up overzealous autocomplete.
• Holy Strength now uses "Creature.EnchantedBy" not "AttachedBy".
• Changed clearFirstSpellAbility to clearFirstSpell and change the functionality to match. Fixing an issue for Auras that gained an Ability before their enPump Spell.
• Converted Snake Umbra to Attach.
• Little fix Lord of the Undead.
• AI now checking Targetability in Attach.
• Added EnchantedBy, Enchanted, EquippedBy, and Equipped in the same vein as Attached{By} to hasProperty.
• Added the option "CharacteristicDefining" to continuous static effects.
• Added the options "SetPower" and "SetToughness" to continuous static effects.
• Converted Crowd of Cinders.
• Touch up for Kabira Vindicator.
• Converted E cards from stPumpAll to StaticEffect.
• Fixed Snake Umbra cost.
• Issue 143, ongoing. Reduced temporary heap usage by changing GeneratedConstructedDeck.getCards to use CardFactory.iterator instead of CardFactory.getAllCards. Changed GeneratedConstructedDeck.filterBadCards to operate on an Iterable<Card> instead of only a CardList. Updated Javadoc for both.
• Little fix.
• Issue 143, ongoing. Reduced temporary heap usage by changing GeneratedConstructedMultiColorDeck.getCards to use CardFactory.iterator instead of CardFactory.getAllCards. Changed GeneratedConstructedMultiColorDeck.filterBadCards to operate on an Iterable<Card> instead of only a CardList. Updated Javadoc for both.
• Added M12 to blocks and setdata.
• Imporved variable names in CardDetailPanel.java.
• Removed the period at the end of a keyword on some cards. We really need to standardize this.
• Converted Mul Daya Channelers to script.
• Fixed some cards.
• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Little fixes.
• Updated some general utilities in preparation for my next commit. Add two functions to GeneratorFunctions for performing lazy deferred operations on products of a generator.
• Converted most D cards from stPumpAll to StaticEffect
• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Added CardList(Generator<Card>), a constructor that accepts a Card Generator. Fixed typo CardList(int).
• Issue 143, ongoing. This is one of my bigger changes; further testing would be appreciated. Fixed deprecated calls to CardFactory.getAllCards. Changed forge.NameChanger's fields from HashMap to TreeMap. Changed NameChanger.changeCard to use Generators instead of arrays. Added NameChanger.changeCardsIfNeeded to perform a routine operation I noticed in a few other files. Updated other classes' method calls to use changeCardsIfNeeded. Created another version of forge.gui.GuiUtils.getChoiceOptional that takes an Iterator instead of varargs/ellipsis (...). Disambiguated top and bottom parameters from same named fields in forge.Gui_CardShop.updateDisplay. Updated and repaired Javadoc of most changed methods.
• Fix serialVersionUID compiler warning. Does this have something to do with others' recent troubles running the latest SVN?
• Converted C cards from stPumpAll to StaticEffect.
• Removed Chaos Warp.
• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Replace CardList(CardList) constructor with 100\% compatible CardList(Iterable\<Card\>). It might be a little slower, but it's more dynamic because it uses a less specific type. Wrote javadoc for this constructor.
• Issue 143, ongoing. I had to give in to duplicating the card database in CardLists when updating the GUI is involved. The results often get assigned to fields. Except for one in forge.Gui_DeckEditor_Menu, I changed most deprecated calls to CardFactory.getAllCards to new CardList(AllZone.getCardFactory()). I marked each with a comment that it "is an expensive heap operation." I was not sufficiently inspired to update javadoc
• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Converted B cards from stPumpAll to StaticEffect.
• Renamed M10 and M11 in setdata.
• Housekeeping. Automatic refactor to move static filtering methods from forge.CardList to forge.CardFilter, which is where static filtering methods should be.

• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.

• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Issue 143, ongoing. Significant structural changes to Quest card disbursements; please let me know if the randomness seems off. Converted much code from CardLists to Generators. Realized that I need to solidify (fully evaluate) these Generators at certain points, like when they're about to be traversed more than once. Updated some Javadoc, too.
• Fixed Sachi Daughter of Seshiro.
• Updated Magma Sliver (original SVars called X could have been overwritten).
• Updated some card text files.
• Tweaked Vengeful Pharaoh. I had some concerns about this card yesterday but I can't remember what they were..
• Cleanup: Removed the unused variables exaltedMagnitude, otherAttackBoost and otherDefenseBoost (together with their functions) from the card class.
• Ran set info script.
• First steps to implement the layer system of Continuous Effects.
• Removed the keywords "When you control no ..., sacrifice CARDNAME" and converted the cards to triggers.
• Converted the sac ability of Phylactery Lich to static trigger.

• Tweaked CardDetailPanel "Name - Cost" line.
• Removed the whole mumbo jumbo about topCardOfLibrary.
• Removed executeCardStateEffects (which was littered all over the code).
• Make sure "Number$" xCount takes into account additional math.
• Converted Mwonvuli Ooze to stSetPT (mostly so the math is there when it gets converted to static factory.)
• Further tweak displaying subtypes for Cards.
• Call updateObservers on each player in GuiDisplayUtil.updateGUI(). This fixes a problem where if you Swords to Plowshares one of compy's creatures, compy's Exile doesn't increment the displayed number in Exile zone until the next turn.
• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Ran set info script.
• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Fixed Kojak 1.

• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Issue 143, ongoing. Convert more calls to forge.CardFactory.getAllCards to use Generator instead. This actually went very smoothly.
• Missed a null check in AF_Attach.
• More Attach cleanup, synchronizing how Card is selected with non-Pump Modes.
• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Starting at Z. Converted some cards from stPumpSelf to StaticEffect.
• Converted W cards from stPumpSelf to StaticEffect.
• Replaced emdash with a hyphen.
• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Added Underflows version of the build-forge script.
• Added some utilities to aid unit testing.
• Issue 143, ongoing. Converted the last of the main non-test uses of CardFactory.getAllCards. To support that, I create a new method, CardFactory.getRandomCombinationWithoutRepetition. Added unit test for new CardFactory method. ReadCard's unit test is vastly out of synch with its code, so I commented out most of it.
• Fixed wording of Brass Herald.
• Converted most V cards from stPumpSelf to StaticEffect.
• Fixed bad commit; restored history of CardFactory.java.
• Fixed bad commit. Restored history of CardFactoryTest.java; this adds back the change from r10616.
• Updated the build-forge script to use java 1.6.
• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Converted some simple enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Ran set info script.
• Added missing keyword to Tiger Claws.
• Issue 143, ongoing. Reduce heap size by converting Hash variables and fields to Tree implementations and interface types.
• Issue 143, ongoing. In forge.Card, I converted Hashes to interface types and Tree implementations. This necessitated small changes in many other files, but I limited the changes to just what was needed. I will have to return to those files in a future revision to convert the rest of their Hashes and update their javadocs.
• Centralizing a bit more of the Attach code. A few more AI Improvements in Pump.
• Converted most T cards from stPumpSelf to StaticEffect. Added a little code in prep for Duplicate.

• Converted some enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Converted some cards from stPumpAll to StaticAbilities.

• Improved the default actions and AI logic for "You may choose not to untap CARDNAME".
• Cleanup in AF_Animate.
• Fixed Isolation Cell.
• Re-integrate substance.jar. This highlights a problem with dependency management. Maven has no problem with newer versions of the library since it automatically pulls in the deps. Eclipse (without using the Maven plugin) and the svn bat script forces the use of an older dep since the older version of substance has everything bundled in.
• Updated testng in pom.xml. Applied pach to build.xml ( issue 150 ).
• Uploaded substance. Updated testng.
• Disabled tests that ran too long. We will have to use mocks and dependency injection to get a proper tests going.
• Added self trigger to Archon of Redemption.

• Converted some enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Converted some enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility. This finishes the Black, Blue, Green and Red Scarabs.
• Removed HIDDEN from Zuo Ci, the Mocking Sage. There are still a couple of auras with HIDDEN Hexproof, these auras do not use the term Hexproof in the oracle text. I am not sure if we should leave the HIDDEN on these auras or if we should remove them?
• Added targeting support to AF PumpAll (fixes Sleep).
• Fixed cost of Razormane Masticore.
• Added targeting support, general improvements and a bug fix to AF TapAll (AI can now use Sleep).

• Fixed Beacon of Immortality.
• Fixed some possible NPEs in Attach.
• Ran set info script.

• Converted some enPumps to AF_Attach + StaticAbility.
• Converted most M cards from stPumpSelf to StaticEffect.

• Fixed Hazy Homunculus.
• Fixed Dredge and Chains of Mephistopheles.

• Cleanup in CardFactory_Creatures.
• Ran set info script.
• Converted most G cards from stPumpSelf to StaticEffect.
• Flashback and related cards now have the proper method being overridden again.
• Changed a bit of how these cards are determined and used.
• Fixed typo in PlayCard.
• Added TinyTest.java, which helps make sure TestNG is working as expected.
• .classpath change: Added test/java/ as a source directory so eclipse can run testng unit tests. Added TestNG library container for same reason.
• Converted most F and E cards from stPumpSelf to StaticEffect.

• Converted some of the difficult auras to StaticAbility.
• Converted some generic auras to AF_Attach.
• Converted some more auras to StaticAbility.
• Updated some card text files.
• Converted some generic auras to AF_Attach.
• Converted some generic auras to AF_Attach.
• Converted some generic auras to AF_Attach.
• Converted Battle Cry to a trigger/pump effect.
• Converted some generic auras to AF_Attach.
• Switched to a single AllZone instance of DeckManager. Sealed deck mode revealed a bug where following two consecutive sealed deck generations, the AI's deck was lost in the second build. This was due to the refreshed instance of DeckManager in Gui_NewGame, but a static instance in Gui_DeckEditor_Menu, which is never refreshed between views of the deck editor.
• Converted some generic auras to AF_Attach. This finishes the conversion and the generic aura keyword is no longer needed. If you place a System.out.println(card.getName()) in the generic aura keyword you should only get the Animate Wall card. The oracle text uses "Enchant Wall", notice the capital "W". This card now uses AF-Attach but it also passes the test for the generic aura keyword.
• Ran set info script.
• Fixed Crusher Zendikon and Earthlore, these auras somehow did not have the type lowercased.
• Commented out the enPump keyword code.
• Commented out the initial test for the enPump and enControlCreature keyword.
• Added some text.
• Added The Thing 2 deck.
• Added Alice in Wonderland 3 deck.
• Fixed Court Homunculus.
• Moved the Ursine Fylgja card file to the correct folder.
• Commented out the generic aura keyword code.
• Fixed Wonder, thank you Rock-n-Rollo.
• Ran set info script.
• Converted these auras from hard coded to AF_Attach + StaticAbility: Entangling Vines; Glimmerdust Nap; Melancholy; Mystic Restraints; Roots; Thirst.
• Edited the changes.txt file.
• Added SVar to coastal piracy.
• Fixed text.
• Updated some SVars.
• Ran set info script.
• Little tweak for continuous static effects.

Chris can you delete Krovikan Sorcerer from the archive? The card is not entirely correct (and can't be scripted correctly at the moment).

I could but it takes the Maven script about one hour to do the tests, build the archives, upload the archives and to then upload the reports to the report site.

It is fun to watch and it saves me from having to do it all by hand.

Is it possible that the code/script that is needed to make this card correct can be added to the SVN for a future beta release?

I don't know about scriptified yet. But I assume the second ability is the problem. The framework is there for this. Something like Sylvan Library.

Edit: In fact, I'll do the code up for it today sometime.

Next time I will not add any cards at the last moment... The problem lies in the fact that you have to discard one of the two cards that were drawn. No way to do this correctly in script yet.

That would be great, thank you.

I saw Rares recent blog post about buggy cards in Forge. I considered responding on the blog but I tend to get long winded.

Over the last year our team has dome a great job in fixing as many of the bugs that we could address. It is a shame that new bugs creep up on us and slip in through the cracks. We just reach for our can of Raid.

[Chris H.]

This version of forge comes with a major rewrite of the code/script that is used by auras and cards with static abilities. Please report any issues that you may notice with these two types of cards. Thank you.

Chris, did you want to mention the decreased start up time and performance improvements, especially for computers with less RAM?

Thank you. The short notes in the change list tend to be brief and they sometimes do not provide this type of easy to understand information.

• Little fix.

Wow! I've been waiting so long for this one and there are 10 here in this beta release!!! Lol...

No really, a big thank you to everyone who contributes to Forge! You guys are awesome.

Kudos to team for keep updating and improving forge!Great job indeed! Is it possible to provide us a link to download all the LQ images please?That will be really helpful for me because i can't use it's buit in feature to dld the images.Thnx in advance!

PS. Is this version compatible with decks of the previous versions (05/2011) i wish to import?

[Chris H.]

I added the following to the first message:

Braids is busy working on a number of improvements in the code base. People should notice a decrease in the start up time and performance improvements, especially for computers with less RAM. This is a work in progress and there may be other areas where improvements can be made.

Wow! Thank you so much for implementing Chains of Mephistopheles so fast!
But i think there's a little bug. When i use it with Anvil of Bogardan the steps aren't exactly like they should.
Correct behavior:
1. draw the first card regularly
2. discard a card for Chains
3. draw an additional card
4. discard for anvil

current behavior:
1. draw a card
2. discard a card for anvil
3. discard a card for chains
4. draw an additional card.

when there is no chains in play it works fine with anvil:
1. draw a card
2. draw an additional card
3. discard a card for anvil

i guess that there is a timing confusion within chains...

cheers

Thanks for the note. I will take a look.
