Feature Requests Thread

I would suggest a new folder structure that aims to separate user content (deck-files, card images, maybe preferences) from application/developer files (jar-files, py-files etc)

I believe it would make it easier to keep settings and decks without the need to make backups while testing new daily-snapshots. And it might also solv the card-images problem where users accidently delete and/or download a whole new set of images.

Speaking of which, I've been wondering for a while, how do the snapshots even work and where do I find them?

Then what?

Click on the newest one with .tar.bz2 at the end. If you're on a Mac, it should have osx.tar.bz2 at the end. The newest are towards the bottom of the list.

I don't know if this has been requested before, or something similar is planned in doublestrike's new UI, but as of the latest beta (1.18), there is a new ability to always accept optional effects by right clicking while it's on the stack. My suggestion is to make it so that the right click acts like an enter command so one can go through the phases (or enter on pop-up windows, etc.) a lot quicker. You could maybe replace the optional effects with maybe a single left click directly on the ability on the stack to always say "no" to the optional effect and a double left click to say "yes". Or maybe some sort of pop-up with a check-box.
A second request is to make the mana pool more functional. What I mean is that I would like to have the ability to click on a single symbol to pay costs. For example, if i have 2 white mana and 4 green mana in my pool, if i play a spell, say worship for example, the computer will take both white and 2 green, but I would rather it take only 1 white. I'm sure there are workarounds for this, and i know there are pop-ups that ask which mana to pay at certain times, but imho they aren't enough. There are times when I can't add only 1 of a color (white in the example) at a time, like when I use wooded bastion, for example.
Perhaps if the mana pool was in a fixed position (like next to your life total), there could be just a colored circle with the number of mana of that color inside, and the computer would always make you pay colored mana first, one symbol at a time, then whatever was left could be paid with colored mana or colorless.
Anyhoo, think about it, and thank you for a wonderful program.

Can anyone guess how far off in the future multiple AI players (Free for All) would be?

I am not sure if it's been posted but it would be cool to see the picture of the card as its being played on the stack.

Even if you can't show the stack with overlapping pictures like MTGO, showing the last card picture played on the stack would be really nice.

It would be a nice compliment to the text play by play dialog and I would probably not skip as much and miss a play every now and than due to my impatience =)

Something seems to make it a bit more special by seeing Wrath of God as a picture on the stack for example.

[timmermac]

You can see that if you hover over entries on the stack with your mouse.

My best guess would be "not in the next 12 months". And that's only a guess. If one of the developers gets *really* motivated, it could happen at any time.

Because of the size of my screen, when using the Quest mode deck editor, I can't see the bottom of the window and it isn't possible to maximize or resize, can someone change to code to allow some way to fix this?

That should be a bug, not a feature request. Can you post this with a screenshot in the Current Known Bugs List topic?

What is the resolution for your monitor?

for me it happens with 1366 x 768 on a laptop.

Is it possible to increase the randomization on which boosters are available in the Card Shop in quest mode? I'm finding that I can expect to see certain packs most times, and I'd kind of like the others to appear a bit more often. So far it seems like M10, M11, M12, Innistrad, Worldwake, Alara block and the 2nd Mirrodin block appear much more frequently than the others.

I'm going to renew my request here. At least give the user the option to determine how frequently certain boosters appear in the card shop. I'd prefer an even distribution.

The way the boosters are setup now was intentional. While I understand you wanting something different, there's not really as much focus in this area from the dev team here right now. Maybe when all these UI changes are done with the booster distribution can be looked at and improved.

Just as Nordos said, it's 1366X768.
I didn't post this in bugs as the window works fine, it just has no function to resize whereas most forge windows do, it's unfortunate that my screen is so short as I can't move the window up, stupid wide-arse-screen.

On a different subject, would it be possible to make a draft option within forge itself so that I can do drafts with boosters from different sets? I'd love to do an Odyssey Onslaught Future Sight draft and it's a bit annoying to have to make a custom draft if I wanna use different boosters.
