Adding Cards

[wilsonbiggs]

Yesterday I downloaded Forge. It's neat and has almost every card, but was missing Windbrisk Heights (i needed it for my deck)! I went into its files and saw that it was in every file EXCEPT cardsfolder.zip. I then extracted the files, added Heights, then re-archived them. Now Forge crashes on startup with:

Code: Select all

The Windbrisk Heights file (windbrisk_heights.txt) looks like:

Code: Select all

End

What should I do?

[friarsol]

Please place questions about scripting cards in Card Development Questions thread in the Developer's Forum. But right now, Hideaway is not scriptable because we don't have Play as an AbilityFactory. To stop it from crashing I'd recommend deleting the txt file you added, it's clearly causing the crash.

Thanks, that's a shame.

Thanks, that's a shame.

Don't worry there's only 10000 other cards that we do have. And more get added all the time.
