Card Contributions

[moomarc]

Yep, that would be all of them, except of course for Monsoon, which has been deemed unfair to the AI. Thanks to you for caring enough to fix and add these cards for me. I'll make sure your good deeds will not go unpunished, by which I mean that I'll soon be screwing up more scripts that you can fix.

More than happy to help. That way I can leave Sloth and the other code-savvy devs to tackle the hard stuff... which reminds me, back to trying to figure out how to crack "divided as you choose"

Some of these might need help to make the grade.

[moomarc]

Snow mana doesn't seem to work at the moment, so I haven't added Stalking Yeti. But it looks good otherwise. And I've added Surprise Deployment so far (looked like a nifty combo so started with those two ). Thanks!

I don't have any more time to test the others right now so if no one else has yet I'll get back to testing and adding them tomorrow.

EDIT: Can't add Silvergill Douser because creatures that are both Faeries and Merfolk should only be counted once. So TypeYouCtrl has to be expanded to take further restrictions then use SVar:Z:Count$TypeYouCtrl.Merfolk+nonFaerie/Plus.Y (where Y counts the Faeries you control including those that are both types).

EDIT: Added Somnophore, Soothsaying, Soul's Grace and Soul's Majesty. I'll check the last three tomorrow.

[moomarc]

@Jeff and Squee: I just added 'TargetedPlayerCtrl' restriction to valid targets. This handles situations like Keeper of the Dead where the target has to be chosen before the spell resolves, and therefore before it can be remembered for RememberedPlayerCtrl. I'm busy doing Searing Blaze now.

EDIT: Can't add Silvergill Douser because creatures that are both Faeries and Merfolk should only be counted once. So TypeYouCtrl has to be expanded to take further restrictions then use SVar:Z:Count$TypeYouCtrl.Merfolk+nonFaerie/Plus.Y (where Y counts the Faeries you control including those that are both types).

What about using "SVar:X:Count$Valid Merfolk.YouCtrl,Faerie.YouCtrl"?

What about using "SVar:X:Count$Valid Merfolk.YouCtrl,Faerie.YouCtrl"?

Firstly, I didn't realise we could use comma-separated values. But will that count creatures that are both faeries and merfolk once or twice (think changelings)?

This redirects to the normal valid card parsing. Any card can only be counted once.

[moomarc]

Added Silvergill Douser. (Thanks for the tip Sloth. Question though: Why do we have TypeYouCtrl when we could just use Valid Type.YouCtrl)

Edit: Strength of the Tajuru doesn't work (even once you change it to A:SP and give it a cost ). The way things are set up at the moment, you have to select targets before you pay costs, and therefore before you've decided the value of X.

Edit2: Added Spiritual Focus (only small tweaks needed)

Edit3: Added Stir the Pride. That's all for this batch then. Thanks Squee!

EDIT: Fixed the spell description of Sylvan Hierophant to match oracle wording, as per Sloth's suggestion. Thanks, Sloth.

[Sloth]

Added Silvergill Douser.

Silvergill Douser should only have one ability that counts Z (there is no choice).

(Thanks for the tip Sloth. Question though: Why do we have TypeYouCtrl when we could just use Valid Type.YouCtrl)

Currently Valid will only check the battlefield TypeYouCtrl can check any zone. (=Half finished update)

[moomarc]

@Squee: I've barely posted Auriok Windwalker and you've already stolen the script... Some nice cards there. Added Scythe of the Wretched so far (needed some additional code to work because wasDealtDamageByHostThisTurn was checking whether the Scythe had dealt damage instead the equipped creature. It worked on Unscythe because the ability was added to the equipped creature, and that wouldn't work here.)

@ Sloth: I checked Crystal Keep, Gatherer and WotC Community and couldn't find a ruling on Silvergill Douser (I also had a feeling it should just be one), so I kept Squee's implementation of 'and/or'. I'll correct asap.

[Sloth]

I already have the next batch for you.

Some comments just by looking at the scripts:

Stonehewer Giant:
The second effect of the activated ability should not target a creature. The choosing during resolution is not scriptable at the moment.

Sylvan Hierophant:
Could use oracle wording, but looks ok.

Syphon Flesh and Syphon Mind:
I think those cards are scripted correctly, but maybe there will be timing problems when played by the AI.

Temporal Cascade:
Is scripted like the other Entwine cards, so should be ok for now (but one day the concept of additional costs should be implemented correctly).

Territorial Dispute:
Should be ok.

Thermal Flux:
Should be ok.

Thanks Squee.

[moomarc]

Added Sway of Illusion (missed the "Draw a card" in the description, otherwise no problems), Syphon Flesh (you would have received the token zombie even if the opponent didn't have a creature to sacrifice, so fixed that), and Syphon Mind (had to be reworked so as not to be targeted and it needed to clear the remembered list.)

Sylvan Hierophant actually isn't right and can't quite be done at the moment. Firstly the second ability had to be a drawback instead of ability before it would fire at all. Then the main issue: regardless of who controlled the heirophant when it died, the owner would return a card from his/her graveyard. The 2008 ruling states, "If you control Sylvan Hierophant when it goes to the graveyard, you exile the Hierophant and return a creature card from your graveyard to your hand.

Still need to test the others, but one small thing I've noticed is that all your SetInfo links have the /en after the expansion instead of before. Don't think those magiccards.info links are actually used anymore, but if they ever are, they need to work Easiest thing is to just leave the SetInfo and Oracle lines out of your scripts. Before I commit them I run the python scripts we have to add that info error free. That way you also don't miss out sets (eg, Syphon Mind was also in Onslaught).

Great job with the scripts though. Sorry for nitpicking. I guess its just that the more cards you add, the less closely we scrutinize them before committing, so just pointing out some small things you can check and test before posting.

Edit: The Hierophant might be doable by splitting the trigger into ValidCard$Card.Self+YouOwn and ValidCard$Card.Self+YouDontOwn. Will test this.... Nope. Still can't get it to work. I think that by the time the hierophant hits the graveyard, you're already considered the controller.

Added Sway of Illusion (missed the "Draw a card" in the description, otherwise no problems), Syphon Flesh (you would have received the token zombie even if the opponent didn't have a creature to sacrifice, so fixed that), and Syphon Mind (had to be reworked so as not to be targeted and it needed to clear the remembered list.)

I warned you I'd be screwing up more scripts for you to fix, didn't I?

Sylvan Hierophant actually isn't right and can't quite be done at the moment. Firstly the second ability had to be a drawback instead of ability before it would fire at all. Then the main issue: regardless of who controlled the heirophant when it died, the owner would return a card from his/her graveyard. The 2008 ruling states, "If you control Sylvan Hierophant when it goes to the graveyard, you exile the Hierophant and return a creature card from your graveyard to your hand. It doesn’t matter whose graveyard the Hierophant goes to."

Oops. That's why pencils have erasers. I'm starting to understand the differences between DB and AB, but have to get more experience (and more feedback like this) before I fully get it. As for the ruling, I don't fully understand why it makes the card not work. When forge takes control of a creature, and it dies, does it go to his grave (even temporarily)? And if so, is that why it won't work? I'm not trying to say that you're incorrect, just trying to learn more about the program. If you say it can't be done, it can't be done. No problemo.

I hadn't noticed that I had the links wrong. I was following the order they are written on the website in the HTML link section. You should've said something sooner. I was just trying to save you a step so that you didn't have to run the scripts. I can either fix the template that I use to put the /en first, or I can just leave them out. Your call.

Don't apologize for nitpicking. I need you and the others to nitpick. It's really the only way I'm ever going to learn. I'm pretty much unable to do any playtesting of the cards that I script, due to the fact that I have to restart my computer (sometimes several times) before Forge will start. I reported the crash report in another thread a few weeks ago, but it hasn't been fixed yet (at least for me).

One last point: do you want me to keep posting cards in sets of 10? Or do you want a different amount?

With regards to SP,AB or DB, you will always use either SP or AB as the root ability depending on whether its a spell[SP] (cast from hand or some other zone) or an activated ability[AB] of a creature on the battlefield (or in a few rare cases, activated while in another zone). You will also use AB for the executed ability of a trigger. Other than that every subability should be a DB (and a DB will never be the base ability). That covers the general rule, although you might come across exceptions along the way.

Then with regards to the ruling, the script doesn't work because, and as far as I can tell, by the time it hits your graveyard and the trigger fires you're considered the controller. Even setting PlayerDefined to TriggeredCardController has you pick which creature to return, instead of whoever controlled the Hierophant when it died. I think it might have something to do with the intervening exile of the Hierophant, but I'm not certain. So it seems to be related to problems with 'last known information'. You can see this easily by making the validCard for a 'when this creature dies' trigger Creature.YouOwn. Then donate a creature to the opponent then kill it off. The trigger will still fire although it shouldn't.

I couldn't have told you sooner because today was the first time I saw it I'd still recommend leaving out the setinfo and oracle lines anyway. The scripts takes a few seconds to run so really isn't a hindrance (this was the first time I've come across one of your scripts missing a set though).

Well now, we can't have active scripters without a functioning version... The latest bug report I see from you was from 17 Feb and the detailed error trace starts with "java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError". Is that the problem still? Have you tried with the latest daily builds (or are you hooked up to svn?) And do you have any unfinished cards in cardsfolder? Sometimes an incomplete or faulty script causes launch issues.

And as for the amount of scripts to post, ten at a time is fine. One of us get to checking them eventually in between real-life work and trying to get our own stuff in.
