Card Contributions

[Sloth]

Innistrad cards can be claimed here: http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/Forge_Upcoming

Just add the name in alphabetic order.

Here's a few cards that I was expecting to see from the Cost changes but haven't yet:

Urborg Panther
Angel's Herald
Behemoth's Herald
Demon's Herald
Dragon's Herald
Sphinx's Herald

I'm not sure which of the Heralds have the corresponding Fetch card for.

I just added a bunch of cards to Weatherlight on the Scriptables Wiki:

Since clearly there's been lots of demand for it, here are some more Scriptables from Visions:

I'm sure this will be more useful after the glitter of Innistrad fades, so I've added a bunch more cards into the scriptables section on the Wiki. If even a portion of the few Sets I've added are done we can get up to 70% across the board. I may try to do a few of the Alliances ones since I know those are tougher.

I tried to script Eater of the Dead and stumbled upon a problem:

When I activate his ability while he is untapped the ability will not resolve (which is correct), but the stack still says one ability to resolve and the game can't be continued.

I stumbled upon something similar to this when scripting something else. Never looked into it.

However, I suspect the problem may be in AbilityFactory.resolve():

If the conditionals fail, the following never gets called:

Code: Select all

AllZone.getStack().finishResolving(...)

I would start there. No debugging for me today. Big sports day in Wisconsin!

Your analysis was exact. And I wrote this code myself...

I'm not sure which of the Heralds have the corresponding Fetch card for.

These are done in script now. But. Angel's Herald needs Empyrial Archangel to be added first. Perhaps one of you wizards can add her.
Demon's Herald needs Prince of Thralls (needs non-mana unlesscost done).

In the quest to have all token types represented in Forge I added my first card: Volrath's Laboratory (r11516/7). Only 23 to go...

[moomarc]

r11518: Another one bites the dust Spirit Mirror is done now too. I've tested and if two Spirit Mirrors are out and both trigger because there's no Refections at the beginning of your upkeep, both triggers will go on the stack but only the first will resolve (which is correct according to the official rulings). Only 22 to go!

Edit: Thought I'd add the code for quick review here too seeing as I'm new to the scripting side.

Code: Select all

End

Only bit I'm not sure of is the SVar:BuffedBy:Reflection. Its based mostly on Sarcomancy which has a similar upkeep trigger and has SVar:BuffedBy:Zombie, so I figured it was either needed by the trigger or for AI hinting. If its not necessary (or worse, likely to have a negative effect) let me know and I'll remove it.

Spirit Mirror will reek havoc against a Changeling deck. Others should chime in, since I don't know how BuffedBy works exactly, but I'd say it should be BuffedBy:Reflection.YouDontCtrl so the Spirit Mirror comes in before combat, and then starts destroying Reflections like crazy.

Sounds excellent. I'll make the change. (I hadn't even realized that I'd scripted a powerful card Too busy trying to get token creating cards done. I even tested with changelings to make sure everything was working properly, but never quite registered its potential)

Edit: Script updated (r11519). Also updated script in previous post.

Spirit Mirror is a nice card. The SVar BuffedBy will tell the AI to play Reflection cards he does not control during Main 1, which is a little pointless. SVar:PlayMain1:TRUE may be considered, but is not really needed.

Now I'm not sure what to do. Should I just remove BuffedBy line completely or replace it or leave as is? Probably better for one of the pros to just put the finishing touches on it, so I'm leaving as is and you can just fix that line.
