Forge Beta: 06-11-2012 ver 1.2.8

[Chris H.]

A quick question. I already have all the tokens images from my 1.2.7 forge version and they all work without problem. But now in the new 1.2.8 version the images are missing, I already check the res/pics/tokens folder and the token pictures are there they just are not displayed by forge, any solution?

 
Just before the release I noticed that the Saproling tokens for Verdant Force weren't displaying their image whereas I know they used to. So I changed the script to explicitly state the token name and it worked. So somewhere along the line the ability to determine a token image name without the TokenImage parameter being present in the script seems to have fallen away. When I have some free time I'll try look into it (if one of the other devs don't beat me to it).

 
I put together a test deck and found that some of the tokens are not displaying their picture. I wonder if recent changes made to the main.properties file may be causing the problem that you noticed.

I believe Chris stated this very specifically in the main topic.

"A recent submission to the code base on the SVN prevents the Card Shop crash report when you select a package of cards, but the packages still aren't displayed in the card picture and card detail panels."

Sorry, must have read over this; probably because I did not get the meaning of this strange code base and this SVN (whatever this means^^).

Nice new release
However, there a some bugs remaining which I noticed some time ago:
- The "Combat"-Panel is emptied when I change to the "Stack"-panel during combat
- Secretkeeper gives Fyling instead of Flying
- When I attack with Wicker Warcrawler and AI returns it to my hand with Champion's Victory, the Warcrawler will get a -1/-1-counter right into my hand.
- The text of Ebony Horse reads

2, Tap: Untap target attacking creature. Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to and dealt by that creature this turn.

- Mind's Desire does nothing
- I can't activate Keeper of the Dead even if I have two creatures more than AI in my graveyard
- Arctic Nishoba doesn't give life
- The game gets stuck when I activate Night Soil in AI's end of turn step
- Praetor's Counsel 's Emblem vanishes at end of turn
- AI removes the +1/+1 counter from Spike Drone to put it onto itself - and the Drone survives
- I can't use Lion's Eye Diamond to cast spells
- Tokens created by tokens created by Myr Propagator don't get the clone ability
- Disenchanting Grafted Wargear doesn't trigger the Wargear

thanks a lot guys

Found a new bug.

Looks like it no longer accepts the same card from more than one set or expansion.

For example sometimes if I have a bunch of cards from Lorwyn and Alara, I use plains from both sets. Does not work in the new builder. Same if I go for a 2011 Lightning Bolt and an Oldschool one. When it loads up the decks now, it removes all cards with the same name but a different expansion. When you try to build a deck and do that, it does not accept them. Maybe this is intentional, but I'm guessing it is accidental.

Symphonic,

There may be some cards missing values in the data... when that happens, the code assigns a value based on rarity. This was happening often with the MTGO data, they haven't updated their data since ISD. the data source I'm using has just about all cards, but some they don't have a value for.. I'm looking into how to better handle this in the server script that updates a database stored on cardforge.org.

I keep getting strange errors - like

I have modified the preferences, but didn't do anything unusally (but increasing the booster packages to 30. I changed it back, though IIRC I started the quest having that). I copied my images and my previous quest (this one should be either 1.2.7 or already a 1.2.8 beta quest)
This particually error popped up when I tried to play Coastal Piracy

[Orionalt]

Really enjoy the new update! Going to take a bit getting used to the new deck builder but I'm super excited. Just a ruling bug I came across. I bounced a Grafted Wargear attached to a creature and the creature was not sacrificed. Also Phyrexian Metamorph on a leveling creature didn't allow me to activate the Level up ability. Casting the metamorph and copying my Kokusho, the Evening Star didn't result in 10 life lost and gained, only 5.

Nordos: This is a known issue with Java 1.7 compatibility. Java 1.6 does not exhibit this problem.

[Sloth]

- Mind's Desire does nothing

It works for me. Are you sure it doesn't exile any cards. Is storm working?

- I can't use Lion's Eye Diamond to cast spells

You can't use mana in your mana pool produced by Lion's Eye Diamond to cast spells or you can't activate it while casting a spell? The latter is correct, because of instant speed restriction.

- Secretkeeper gives Fyling instead of Flying
- The text of Ebony Horse reads

2, Tap: Untap target attacking creature. Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to and dealt by that creature this turn.

- I can't activate Keeper of the Dead even if I have two creatures more than AI in my graveyard
- The game gets stuck when I activate Night Soil in AI's end of turn step
- Praetor's Counsel 's Emblem vanishes at end of turn

5 fixed! Thanks cc-drake.

[Jaedayr]

Quest mode duels screen says I have 171 credits. When I go to the Bazaar it says I have only 121. If I exit Forge and restart, I have 171 in the Bazaar.

Regarding the screwed up card price.. is there any way to switch to an alternate price listing? It's not fun when scrubland sells for 32 while tundra sells for 13293

There should be an option to disable non-modern cards altogether.

I also notice 1.2.8 ran much slower than 1.2.7.

[Rob Cashwalker]

I'm going to begin by fixing the prices in the database, then all the users need to do is pull the update.

Thanks Rob. Appreciate it. I just bought black lotus for 120

[Xitax]

Planechase 2012 reprints are not all in. Here's a few I found.

Bug: Stigma Lasher effect ends at the end of my turn instead of persisting the rest of the game.
