Fixes bug 740, intermittent ConcurrentModificationException
The alternative would be synchronizing all access to attackedEntities,
either at the method level or by using an internally synchronized
container like a Hashtable. But ConcurrentHashMap should give better
performance, since it only locks on writes not reads, and we read
attackedEntities a lot more often than we write to it.
Support ghost text in FTextFields and add "Search" ghost text for Card Catalog field and use in place of old "[New Deck]" logic
Standardize size of buttons and text fields a bit
Allow horizontal scrollbar for card tables in Deck Editor if preference for elastic columns not on
- "If CARDNAME would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal CARDNAME and shuffle it into its owner's library instead." will now be turned into a proper replacement effect with a macro.
GameAction - legend rule and planeswalker rule are updated to match changes introduced with "Magic 2014 Core Set"
InputSelectCardsFromList also accepts any Collection<T>, not just List<T>
PlayerControllerHuman - chooseSingleCardForEffect tries to use InputSelectCardsFromList when all cards are in Battlefield or own hand
Attack/Block inputs use this bus to request sounds playback and UI updates
SoundSystem - remove mostly duplicated play/playSync calls - now there's one call with a single mandatory parameter.
corrected tabs into spaces somewhere in sound system (why can't Agetian just tune up his IDE?)
checkStateEffects - removed many calls leaving only the ones clearly stated by rules, in most cases calls replaced by checkStaticAbilities
in checkStateEffects - extracted some method performing certain state actions
Pump and PumpAll effects now fire update card stats event - for both start of effect and end of it.
Exalted effect - refactored to use scripted ability (the script is hardcoded)
toString routines for some events
- Made the AI roll the die for some of the planes multiple times (but only after casting spells).
- Some other optimizations and modifications of the plane AI hints.
- Added a way to specify the minimum turn in which it is viable to start rolling a planar die for a particular plane. Added this setting to some planes which require a bit more context on the battlefield before their Chaos rolls start to make sense.
- Added an AI profile variable specifying the minimum turn in which the AI will start rolling the planar die in general unless the plane has an override specified (default AI - on its second turn, reckless AI - on its first turn).
- Added the ability to differentiate between old-style and new-style (modern) foils. If a separate foil sheet called sprite_old_foils.png is available, that sheet will be used for pre-8th edition cards. If not available, the same sprite sheet (sprite_foils.png) will be used for all foils.
- Note that the edition files are not yet modified with the information about availability/style of foil cards. This has the nasty temporary side effect of disabling random foiling for all sets (to be remedied in the nearest future).
removed EndOfCombat and Cleanup classes as they don't add anything specific to base class. Base class Phase is no longer abstract, also it does not need reference to game instance any longer
Card: removed methods to test if card is attacking/blocking, because these properties are related to combat, not the card itself.
AiAttackController - no longer creates Combat. Instead it uses a provided instance and fills attackers there
ComputerUtilBlock.java became non-static class AiBlockController, also modifies the provided Combat instance
PhaseHandler - half-measures to handle close window during turn-based actions (like declare combatants)
getAllPossibleAbilites method moved from game to card
removed 5 calls to isHuman/Computer
AbilityUtils.resolve does not need extra parameter usedStack - Stack class can call finishResolving from its own code
HumanPlaySpellAbility - managed to simplify the code by groupping all prerequisites collection into a single exression
AiController.confirmAction - spread choices made for specific apis among their matching XxxxxAi classes - to avoid a huge switch and keep all related code in a single place.
GuiDisplayUtil - warped tutor functions in game.getAction.invoke() to run in aux game thread.
"Manual Breakpoint" - removed because EDT won't give accurate information on player zones.
input/InputAttack.java is initialized with combat instead of game (cosmtic change though)
CMatchUI stopAtPhase will use an existing method to get the needed checkBox
ComputerUtilMana - commented out is debug code
PhaseHandler: nextPhase & handleBeginPhase are called consequently, no observer updates happen between calls
GuiDisplayUtil: generate mana button caused wrong thread exception
VMessage - remove useless import
priorityAutoPass is executed even without switching to EDT
showMessage is executed for the current input of InputProxy, not the one passed as parameter
FThreads.invokeInNewThread is wrapped into InputQueue.invokeGameAction that may run action is same thread if it is not EDT
stop() method moved to sync'd inputs, asyncs have only pass()
pass() or stop() may be called only once per input presentation (once shown = one and only stop/pass)
* remove messagebox when computer plays first
* Mulligan input message now reads who is going first (if you go first you are asked to play or draw yet before mulligan)
- Added Sorin vs Tibalt, and Tibalt vs Sorin as examples of Challenges that force you to use a specific Deck. (They seemed to be the best duel deck compatibility for the AI).
When you chose a quest challenge from Home screen, you also get all extra creatures on battlefield
Deck generation now able to correctly generate decks of definite + random color
MyRandom uses SecureRandom
Removed special conditions from spellability/SpellAbilityCondition.java
adjusted visibility for a few methods
Zone: cotains(predicate<Card>) method added, still don't know if it's correct to put it there.
remove setKeywords from Player (the method was never referenced and has been added by checkstyle enforcing)
compare static abilities - a slight optimization
MagicStack is Iterable<SpellAbilityStackInstance>, get(i) methods removed, many invocations of size() replaced with isEmpty or iteration when appropriate/
GameActionUtil - some other methods inlined for being 2-lines long or used only once
MatchController is re-created each time you start a match (as it had been designed to do)
joined most calls setting up UI obsevers over a match into a single method
Match is started from EDT - that means issues with black screen instead of game launched should be gone now - players should get exceptions instead.
TriggerChangesZone - adding a new check on triggered card (for Tunnel Ignus)
Trigger - commented out requirementsCheck on triggered objects, 'cause they are specific for each trigger
ManaPool.payManaFromAbility does not return ManaCostBeingPaid - that means it does not create a new instance, but alters the one passed as parameter
a few mana-paying inputs: the player who is shown the input is taken from base class field, not from singletons
CommandList replaced with a plain list (though should better have used a stack, since the commandlist was adding items at index 0)
Phase - removed duplicate wrapper UntilYourNextTurn to same data as until(player)
removed imports,
ColorChanger - used List instead of ArrayList
Server: a dedicated packet for greeting
ClientStates may throw exceptions when malformed packets come.
If clientStates chain leaves a packet unhandled, then it will be handled in NetClient
* packets don't depend on serialization any longer (and they shouldn't since they are simple DTOs)
* support for multiple serialization types - add custom protocols when needed
* web client serialization protocol uses gSon
VCombat: !parentCell.getSelected() won't NPE any longer (unless if parentCell is null for that thread), moved most thread-unsafe actions from update() to ctor and populate
PhaseHandler: bCombat is AtomicBoolean to be retrieved correctly from any thread.
- SpellAbilities will now (again) stay on the stack until they are finished resolving, allowing ChangeTarget spells to redirect Counterspells to themselves
note: copy to new arraylist does not help against comodification problem. The only known to me solution is use classes from java.util.concurrent
Playarea redraw timeout increased to 50ms
intrinsic abilities renamed to unparsed ones,
getMultiKickerMagnitude is getKickerMagnitude, it returns 1 for simple Kickers now
Kicker syntax changed,
AltCost avaiable to check on triggers
HomeUI buttons get enabled/disabled to indicate server status
Server - clientstates form a chain of responsibility for packets processing
packets for autorization (no checks performed, used to get player's name)
InputPayManaBase descendants: showMessage may be safely executed after input is dismissed (select card leads to re-check of requirements and may result in done() call, so showMessage is undesired, but it was already planned)
InputProliferate moved to separate file
Reverted 20840
all calls to CMatchUI.setCard have to be performed from EDT, otherwise an exception will raise. - this fixes problems with Goblin Guides and Inquisition of Kozilek (and all others whose effects displayed a card in UI to confirm or choose from list)
Comet storm scripted, Strength of Tajuru scriptable.
possible side effect: AI can may become unable to cast spells with X in their cost. (see ComputerUtilMana.java:242)
InputPayManaOfCost now takes ManaCostBeingPaid as parameter
AbilityUtils - workaroud about StringUtils.isNumeric that returned false for negative numbers
input/InputSelectTargets.java doesn't ask for more targets if all damage (or other thing) has been already 'divided as you choose'
TargetSelection does not use cancel, it returns false instead
CostSacrifice - removed input, using a common one
other list-related costs use getDescriptiveType method from base class
InputPayManaExecuteCommands won't reset manaCost because the class is not reusable anyway.
set Morphs visible to player flippable on CPicture and CDetail
If you mouse over a card with SHIFT pressed, MatchUI will attempt to show you the other side of a card.
CardList has filter method to apply 2 filters sequentially
Untap: old inputs replaced with synchronized ones.
InputProxy - using an AtomicReference to hold current input, just in case.
ManaCost got a static factory method to get colorless mana costs.
Methods in GameActionPlay to carry extra mana paid from previous multikicker payment removed. Extra mana goes to pool and can be used from there.
- correctly load no_card.jpg when Forge is not run from a bundle
- use skinned "unknown" icon when icon not found instead of default card picture
- don't redo image resize when an image is resized to a size that is already in the cache, just under a different key
- The primary API for AI personalities is now in place. AI properties are implemented in forge.game.ai.AiProps and are retrieved via a call to one of AiController.getProperty, AiController.getIntProperty, or AiController.getBooleanProperty depending on the type of property (AI controller can be retrieved via a getAi() call on the AI player object). Each property can be assigned on a per-profile basis in res/ai/*.ai profile files. A profile can be selected in the game properties. For an example implementation of a property, see AI_MULLIGAN_THRESHOLD implemented in AiProps and retrieved in ComputerUtil.
- Currently there is one property only, but more are on the way. Everyone is also free to expand as necessary. Specific AI profiles for specific quest opponents will be implemented at a later date.
Improved GuiDialog.confirm to accept custom values for choice options
Also added default question icon to dialogs (may remove if it's too ugly)
decision-making about "where to put the card used to clash" moved to PlayerController* classes
Human uses GuiChoice.order to arrange cards to be put on top or bottom of library (that means less popping windows)
AI has a method in ComputerUtil to learn where to put a given card.
consolidate code in the gui downloader
turn autoscrolling back on when the import starts if the user had scrolled somewhere other than the bottom while analyzing
- add overwrite option to import dialog
- remove unused extra URLs for snow covered lands
- ensure fewer copies in the newest sets don't prevent us from finding a higher index card from a previous set
- define user/program/cache directories in NewConstants
- use directories where applicable
- merge lang and properties into constants
- create separate image lists for sealed products
- update howto document
- allow alternate file extensions for images
- a whole bunch of code cleanup
thrown away get/setUpdate methods
battlefield.getCards(false) will return R/O list of cards - might lead to exceptions if callers attempt to modify the method's result.
removed keyword 'CARDNAME is (color)' because this data is already contained in a mandatory field named 'color'
renamed postFactoryKeywords to setupKeywordedAbilities
generally 'setup' means 'make all changes to card yourself' and 'make' intends only creation of spellability, at least 'make'-methods always return one.
Card: dropped imageName field (which was commonly mixed up with imageFileName)
Starting cards for quest and challenges no longer use functions (CardToken helps a lot)
Quest challenges code: Token parsing remake (to produce CardRules instance and wrap it into CardToken)
some utility functions were moved closer to usage points
You may use SpellAiLogic.chkAIDrawback to test drawbacks of given ability only, or chkDrawbackWithSubs to do so for the whole list of ability and its subs
* (fixes for 19720 & 19724) CheckAiDrawback was already recursivelly checking every subability, so no special methods were required
* numerous fixes to make ApiType comparisons null-safe
* CommonXXX classes do not take SpellEffect and AILogic as separate parameters. These are obtained from ApiType instead
- no existing behavior is changed -- callers have to make the explicit choice to sort
- allow left-right arrow keys to switch lists when choosing order
- sort sideboard
- correctly manage current deck tab title so the '*' appears only when truly dirty
- ensure table selection color is correct even before the table has gained focus for the first time
- autoupdate shown tooltip when tables scroll
- fix NPE when starting draft mode game against a single opponent with a previously-drafted deck
- fix labels getting stuck with hovered highlight after their associated commands prevent them from getting the mouseExited event
- Initial commit of "TargetsWithSameController" (check the parent targets, might be used in Bioshift and Simic Guildmage in future)
- Added two Avatars: Sisters of Stone Death Avatar and Viridian Zealot Avatar
- Added some cards
- Added DiscardMeByOpp param and applied to relevant cards (I've prioritised from 1 - 3, 3 being most dangerous to discard, but priority checking isn't actually applied yet. Plan to expand when I have more free time).
adjustChangeZoneTarget moved back to ability/AbilityFactory.java (since called by Common[Spell|Ability|Drawback] classes' ctors)
resolve method and its auxiliary methods groupped in bottom part of AbilityUtils file
- unbreak ctrl/cmd+enter as text search filter shortcut
- add card to deck before removing from catalog to ensure selected card details show up properly
- prepare for editable restrictions
Unless syntax enriched: added UnlessResolveSubs parameter to indicate if subAbilities are resolved for paid and unpaid branches
SpellDesciptions from card scripts now may include variables
- can tab focus
- space/enter to select
- brighten on hover
- use previous "hover" border for focus indicator
- fix various layout and style bugs (e.g. too-short widths and missing hoverable properties)
- allow tab key to set focus to next component (e.g. prevent tables from swallowing tab and shift-tab)
- flicker-free reinstatement of current selection when table model data changes
setPaidList, beforePayManaAI, setAllReplacingObjects, hasReplacingObject, wasCancelled were never used (removed)
reduced visibility of setManaPart,
finalized setReplicateManaCost, setXManaCost, setIsMultiKicker, setIsReplicate, setIsCycling, setConditions, (set/add)OptionalAdditionalCosts since they were called by CardFactoryUtil only => all removed from WrappedAbility.java
- make color of listbox selection depend on listbox focus, not cell focus
- avoid NPE when attempting to start a challenge when there isn't one to start
this works around a quirky interaction between WrapLayout and MigLayout that was causing interior cells to be properly resized but the cells surrounding them would not be, resulting in widgets that would be too large or too small for their unupdated containing cells
CommonDrawback: wrote in a single line the complicated chkAIDrawback method
removed unused imports
CardUtil.getRandom replaced with Aggregates.random
getReflectableMana uses Set as collection, so it does not have to check for duplicates before adding new items.
united two CMC calculation methods (one was getCMC from card that read characteristics while other took more factors into account)
Some notes:
- Special rewards for normal duels should be extremely rare, mostly for very hard opponents, 1 special reward per opponent, and always a percentage chance of getting the special reward (preferably less than 50%) rather getting a guaranteed reward.
- In the interests of downward compatibility, it is possible to define the Card Reward either in the [quest] portion (like before) or the [metadata] portion of the dck file. (Duels do not have the [quest] portion but if the definition were simply moved from [quest] to [metadata], all current challenge files would have stopped working properly.)
GameActionUtil - uses common GuiDialog.confirm
CardFactoryLands - converted inlined class to nested
ChangeZoneEffect - removed stringbuilder wrapper (as it was not used anyway)
replaced isComputer/isHuman where it was clear and possible
- set focus on the catalog table when the deck editor opens so the arrow keys work immediately without having to click the mouse
- if multiple cards are selected, apply the add/remove operation to all of them, not just the first one
- hide the non-functional 'remove' buttons in draft mode
- protect against NPE when the cursor is hovering above a row that disappears just as swing is trying to get the tooltip
- add note to add button tooltip that the spacebar can be used as a shortcut
- added forge-specific spinner widget (FSpinner)
- allowed labels to have their toggle state read externally and added configuration to set whether the onClick command is executed on mouse button down or mouse button up (FLabel)
- added builder pattern to FTextField and autoset properties to common values
- fixed header comments in WrapLayout
- renamed DialogCustomFormat to the more generic DialogChooseSets since I use it now from the filters too; extended its functionality to run a specified command on ok button click
- removed Filters dockable panel
- added old filters functionality to the stats buttons above the catalog table (stats can no longer be removed via a preference setting)
- combined scattered metadata about the filters (e.g. icon, label, filter predicate) into a single enum
- rewrote filter utility functions to not have any side effects (they now use no global data/singletons)
- added "Owned" column to spell shop catalog, indicating number of cards already owned by player (can remove column with preference)
- don't count the "click" as a sort command when resizing a column
- exposed top-level main world custom format in QuestController -- other format-retrieving methods would be masked by the current world selection
- added utility fn to TextUtils to create a (locale-independent) Title out of an ENUM
- added a templated Pair<T, V> utility class for ad-hoc two-value parameter returning
- prevented invalid enum values in editor_preferred.xml from causing errors
* in abilityFactory target parsing code extracted as a single method
* due to getDefinedCards return type generalization, a lot of classes had to declare variables as List (not arraylist)
- saved quest data when pet settings are modified
- moved the selectedPets map from QuestController to QuestData (since it now gets persisted); also renamed it petSlots for clarity
- incremented the quest file format version
- added code to bring older file formats up to date
- finally, while researching how the data is saved, I noticed that saveData() can be called from multiple threads. I made the method synchronized to prevent file corruption
- adds tooltips for the filter checkboxes (issue 657)
- ensures the filter checkboxes are always in the same order
- puts all labels and checkboxes in "official" order from the mtg rules book:
color order: WHITE, BLUE, BLACK, RED, GREEN, COLORLESS, MULTICOLOR
type order: LAND, ARTIFACT, CREATURE, ENCHANTMENT, PLANESWALKER, INSTANT, SORCERY
* Costs: joined all CostGainLife implementations. Syntax is: GainLife<LifeAmount/Player.Selector/[cntPlayers|*]> asterisk in last parameter means "all players".
* Changed a lot of methods to pass GameState as a parameter rather than get it from Singletons.*
*Added Planes
Academy at Tolaria West
Fields of Summer
Goldmeadow
Krosa
Lethe Lake
Llanowar
Panopticon
Raven's Run
The Fourth Sphere
The Great Forest
The Hippodrome
*Added phenomenon Mutual Epiphany
* sideboard checked independently of maximum amount of same cards in deck
* schemes and planes generation code in GameNew.java now demands a player.
- toForgeCardList method removed
* Decks have no extra sections for variants (sideboard works in most cases)
* Deck Format restrictions are in a separate class not related to GameType
+ DeckSection has its own toString overload
+ DualListBox operates CardPrinted properly (sideboarding dialog uses cardprinted instances)
+ ItemPool.remove method returns true if any elements were removed.
Added ForgetChosen parameter to ChooseCardEffect to remove chosen card from host card remembered object list.
Added Mandatory parameter to ChooseCardEffect.
Added The Mimeoplasm.
- Vanguard:Added Sakashima the Impostor Avatar
- Added Mandatory$ True to Parallax Nexus
- Made Borrowing 100000 Arrows and Theft of Dreams ready for multiplayer
- Added TargetsWithDifferentControllers param for targeting with different controllers (should supercede TargetsFromDifferentZone in most cases as it works with player lists instead of using getOpponent)
- Reverted LocalCount in favor of RepeatPlayer in RepeatEach (Molten Psyche and Netherborn Phalanx)
- Converted Myojin of Night's Reach and Imprison This Insolent Wretch to multiplayer scripts
* Added Eye of the Storm, Neurok Transmuter, Overwhelming Instinct and Total War
* Vanguard: Added Phage the Untouchable Avatar and Prodigal Sorcerer Avatar
* Scheme: Added My Undead Horde Awakens
World-specific format enforcing and starting world selection will be added in later stages. Also, something has to be done about locked (non-repeatabled) challenges so they do not end up locking other challenges in different worlds.
- Added LocalCount to resolve of DamageDealEffect and DrawEffect which allows calculated variables to be calculated per player (should allow a few more cards to be made multiplayer compatible)
- Fixed ChangeZoneAll so that it works correctly when Defined returns more than one player
- Small tweak to Triggers to allow them to refire Statics when they finish resolving (useful for Conving Mirage to actually grant its ability immediately upon resolving)
Realms Befitting My Majesty
Roots of All Evil
The Iron Guardian Stirs
The Very Soil Shall Shake
Which of You Burns Brightest?
So now we have enough schemes to create legal scheme decks :D (Two of each we have,but still)
*Made exiting the scheme editor dump you at the archenemy home screen.
*Made scheme deck editor save correctly.
(Quest icons used created by Teekatas, from his Legendora set http://raindropmemory.deviantart.com)
(Thanks to the MAGE team for permission to use their targeting arrows.)
(Thanks to http://www.freesound.org/browse/ for providing some sound files.)
11623 cards in total.
Forge Beta: 09-27-2013 ver 1.5.0
All sounds use the event bus model now and are not called directly. Two new sounds to the list of sounds supported by Forge, Blocker Assigned and Token Created. We could use some help in finding interesting sounds that we can add to forge.
13316 cards in total.
The sound files need to be in wav or au format, wav appears to be more wide spread but the code can handle either format. The sound files need to be copy right free and they should be in the public domain.
You can either record your own sounds if you have the necessary equipment or you may be able to find an appropriate sound on a web site such as this site:

Release Notes
-------------
http://www.freesound.org/browse/
- Commander -
The Commander gaming mode has been added and is located in the Variant view. This is a work in progress and is not finished at this time. You are invited to play test this variant.
You should note that sound files can be large sized and we would like to avoid this if possible. A good size to shoot for would be 50 K or less. There is a freeware sound editor that may have versions for all operating systems. This app is named Audacity.
We now have a Vanguard mode implemented. This is a work in progress. The older match layout files are incompatible with the new Vanguard mode. The original match_default.xml, match_preferred.xml and the match_preferred.xml saved to a different name files need to be deleted and can no longer be used. You can keep your editor_preferred.xml file. But you will have to setup your match view panels using the new match_default.xml file.
- Switch Theme/Skin Without Restart -
You can now switch between themes/skins from any screen without restarting, using either Layout > Theme on main menu or combo box on Preferences page of Home screen
The visuals for targeting arrows has been improved and looks better, with an adaptation of the arrow drawing code from MAGE. Thanks to the MAGE team for permission for the adaptation.
There were reports that special challenge decks would cause a co-modification error in quest mode. This bug is likely fixed at this time.
- Card Overlays -
Card overlays can be switched on/off during a match via the Game menu. Added new card id overlay. Overlays are now always displayed regardless of card image size (if switched on).
--
On several occasions people have noticed that the forge deck editor and/or quest mode card shop would not open or display. We have also received reports that some of the tabs/panels in the deck editor are missing. Try deleting the file named "editor_preferred.xml" which is found in the "res/layouts" folder. This should force forge to then use the "editor_default.xml" file instead.
- Theros cards -
Forge now includes most of the new Theros cards. It may take a few days before these new card pictures become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Card Pictures" button. The LQ set pictures tend to take a few more weeks to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient.
- Forge now requires Java 7 -
Please update your Java runtime environment. At this point Forge versions 1.4.2 and above will no longer run under Java 6. Those who are using Mac OS should install the JDK version rather than the JRE version.
- The Mac OS X application -
At this time Forge now requires Java 7 and will no longer run under Java 6.
Unfortunately, the Mac OS X builder that we were using does not support Java 7. We hope to find and to use a different Mac OS X builder in order to continue releasing a Mac OS bundled application like we have in the past.
Currently, the windows/unix release of Forge includes a launcher file named "forge.command". Double click on the "forge.command" launcher command file and this will in turn launch the Forge jar file via the terminal application while increasing the Java heap space. This should be a temporary inconvenience.

Known Issues
------------
Several people have noticed that the cards displayed on the battlefield will fail to be displayed when the number of cards on the battlefield increases. Maximizing the human panel can help to re-display the cards.
Some time was spent turning the static ETB triggers into the proper ETB replacement effects they should be, mainly to interact correctly with eachother. This work is not yet finished. As a result there is currently some inconsistencies with "Enters the battlefield with counters" (Not incredibly noticeable).

It seems like the front face of double faced cards aren't triggering properly, but the back face and single faced cards are.
A recent contribution to the code base should fix some of the bugs that people noticed with cloning type abilities. At this time there are two remaining issues that we hope will be addressed in the near future.
1. Leave play triggers don't work correct for clones.
2. Copies of cards that setup Zone Change triggers via addComesIntoPlayCommand and addLeavesPlayCommand will not function correctly.
We are now using a different system for our snapshot and beta releases. Unfortunately, this new system builds a jar file which does not accurately display the SVN revision number.
Forge is likely to be compatible with Java 7 at this time. Some people have used forge with Java 7 and have not reported any problems that are related to Java 7. If you would like to upgrade to Java 7 and have held off because of Forge then you may upgrade as we do not think that it will cause an incompatibility type of problem at this time. We will continue to try to maintain compatibility with Java 6 for the foreseeable future.

The Forge archive includes a readme.txt file and we ask that you spend a few minutes reading this file as it contains some information that may prove useful. We do tend to update this file at times and you should quickly read this file and look for new information for each and every new release. Thank you.

Installation and Updating to a newer version Instructions:
Installation Instructions:
--------------------------
We have changed the archival format used for the Forge distributions from ".zip" to ".tar.bz2". There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to decompress these ".tar.bz2" archives. We recommend that you decompress the Forge archive into a new and unused folder.
The archive format used for the Forge distribution is ".tar.bz2". There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to extract/decompress these ".tar.bz2" archives. We recommend that you extract/decompress the Forge archive into a new and unused folder.
Once the Forge archive has been decompressed you should then be able to launch Forge by using the included launcher. Launching Forge by double clicking on the forge jar file will cause a java heap space error. Forge's memory requirements have increased over time and the launchers increase the java heap space available to Forge.
Some people use the Windows application 7zip. This utility can be found at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. Mac users can double click on the archive and theapplication Archive Utility will launch and extract the archive. Mac users do not need to download a separate utility.
After downloading and installing a newer version of Forge you may want to move certain files from the older version over to the newer version of Forge. You should maintain your older version of Forge as a back up in case you make a mistake while installing the newer version.
1) The /res/pics/ folder contains the card pictures, icons and token pictures (mtg card tokens and quest pet/plant tokens). Please note that the /res/images/icons/ folder was moved back to the /res/pics/ folder. The forge /res/images/ folder no longer is used as of version 1.2.8.
The /res/pics/icons/ folder contains the quest opponent icons, small quest pet/plant icons (non-tokens) and some icons that are used by forge's quest mode. While several of these pictures ship with the forge archive most of them have to be downloaded using the Home screen -> Utilities -> Download Quest Images command.
2) The /res/pics_product/ folder contains four folders which in turn contain pictures for the booster, fatpacks, precons and tournamentpacks products.
3) The /res/decks/ folder contains your deck files. You should copy over the files with the extension ".dck". In version 1.2.4 and later the /decks/ folder contains 4 subdirectories named constructed, cube, draft and sealed.
You can place your deck files from an earlier version of Forge into the /res/decks/ folder. When you next launch Forge these decks will be converted to a newer format and will be moved into the proper subdirectory.
4) The /res/draft/ and the /res/sealed/ folders contains files for the sealed and draft mode. You should copy over your files inside of these folders that end in the extension ".draft" or ".zsealed".
5) The /res/quest/data folder contains your questData files. These files include all of the information for your current quests. You will not be able to continue your quests in a newer version of Forge unless you copy over the your quest data files. These files have a ".dat" extension. You can now have multiple ongoing quests at the same time.
6) The Forge /res/preferences/ folder contains the preference files named "forge.preferences" and "editor.preferences". You should also move a copy of these files over to the newer version. The /res/preferences/ folder was added to version 1.2.8. The main.properties file was also moved to the /res/preferences/ folder.
7) The /res/layouts/ folder contains a file named "match_preferred.xml". This file contains information that forge uses when setting the layout for the battlefield display. The match_default.xml file contains the default layout for the battlefield.
The editor_preferred.xml file contains information that forge uses when setting the layout for the deck editor display. The editor_default.xml file contains the default layout for the deck editor display.
Once the Forge archive has been decompressed you should then be able to launch Forge by using the included launcher. Launching Forge by double clicking on the forge jar file in the past caused a java heap space error. Forge's memory requirements have increased over time and the launchers increase the java heap space available to Forge. Currently you can launch Forge by double clicking on the forge jar file without a java heap space error but this is likely to change as we add in more sounds, icons, etc.
Advanced Updating to a newer version Instructions:
Updating to a newer version Instructions:
-----------------------------------------
Another option for you to consider is to move some of the files/folders listed above to a different location on your hard drive. Then edit the "main.properties" file in the /res/ folder with any basic text editor. At the "image/base--file=pics" and "image/token--file=pics/tokens". Just change these to absolute paths of your choice eg:
- User data migration -
User data files, like decks, saved gauntlets, and card pictures, are now stored in new directories separate from the program data. When this version of Forge is first run, it will scan the program directory for all user data and automatically migrate the files to their new homes. There are three defined user data directores: userDir, cacheDir, and cardPicsDir, and their locations depend on the standard paths for your operating system:
The appdata directory is hidden by default in Win7. Open a Windows Explorer window (or double-click on My Computer] and in the address field type "%appdata%/forge/" (without the quotes). If that doesn't work, type "%appdata"/roaming/forge".
and do the same for "decks-dir--file=decks", "quest--properties=quest/quest.properties" and whatever else you might usually copy from version to version. Try to avoid folders that are usually updated in the releases. Just remember to use forward slashes for the pathnames. Then just copy the "main.properties" file from version to version. Occasionally compare it to the release version to make sure nothing else has changed, and if it has just replace the adjusted lines instead.
cardPicsDir is defined as <cacheDir>/pics/cards/ by default. If you wish to use a non-default directory, please see the forge.profile.preferences.example file located in the Forge installation directory root. You can use this file to, for example, share the card pics directory with another program, such as Magic Workstation.
If you are using the Mac OS X version of Forge then you will find the forge.profile.preferences.example file by right clicking or control clicking on the Forge.app icon. Select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu. A Finder window will open and will display a folder named Contents. Navigate to the folder:
/Contents/Resources/Java/
and you will find the file named forge.profile.preferences.example.
For reference, here is the full list of moved directories and files:
Old location New location
---------------- ----------------------
res/decks/ <userDir>/decks/
res/gauntlet/ <userDir>/gauntlet/
res/layouts/ <userDir>/preferences/
res/preferences/ <userDir>/preferences/
res/quest/data/ <userDir>/quest/saves/
res/pics/ <cacheDir>/pics/
forge.log <userDir>/forge.log
- New Import Data dialog -
The Import Pictures dialog, accessed via the Content Downloaders submenu, has received an overhaul and has been reincarnated as the Import Data dialog. You may recognize it from the automatic data migration procedure if you had any data to migrate when this version was first started. Instead of just importing pictures from a previous version of Forge, it can now import any kind of Forge data whatsoever. If you have a directory full of deck files, you can use the Import Data dialog to copy or move them to the appropriate directory. If you have just downloaded a torrent of high-quality pics for a particular set, use the Import Data dialog to get them to the proper place. The dialog give you a full listing of all file copy/move operations, so you can see what will happen before you click 'Start Import'.
An importer option was added for including pictures in set-specific card directories that don't map to any currently known card. This handles the case where people have collected complete sets of pics in anticipation of when Forge supports them.
The Mac OS application version:
-------------------------------
We have packaged the Forge BETA version as a Mac OS application. You can double click the Forge.app icon to launch the forge application on your Apple computer running Mac OS. This application will automatically increase the java heap space memory for you as it launches. This version does not require the forge.command file and it does not need to start the Terminal application as part of the start up process.
You can move a copy of your pictures and decks over to the "Forge.app" application. Right click or control click on the Forge.app icon. Select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu. A Finder window will open and will display a folder named Contents. Navigate to the folder:
/Contents/Resources/Java/res/
Your decks can be placed in the decks folder, your pics can be placed in the pics folder, etc.
If you update your OS to Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion and try to launch a new version of forge that you will likely get a dialog which states "File is damaged and cannot be opened. Please move to trash."
Mountain Lion comes with a new Gatekeeper feature and this is probably blocking your ability to launch this newer version of forge. Visit the link below and follow the instructions. They are fairly long and detailed.

The quest opponent icons jpg picture files go into your /res/images/icons folder. Please note that the /res/pics/icons/ folder was moved out of this folder and placed in the /res/images/ folder.
The quest booster package jpg picture files go into your /res/pics/booster folder. The card token jpg picture files go into your /res/pics/tokens folder.
The quest pets archive contains two subdirectories named "icons" and "tokens". Place the files located inside of the /icons/ folder into the /res/images/icons/ folder. Place the files located inside of the /tokens/ folder into the /res/pics/tokens/ folder.
Your forge game may not come with one or more of these three folders as part of the forge archive. In this case you should use your computer's OS file system to create the proper folders with the correct names and they must be located inside of the /res/pics/ folder.
The in-game downloaders will grab an image for face-down (Morph) cards on the battlefield. To use a custom image, place a "morph.jpg" file in your res/pics/tokens directory.

if you're running Windows 7, make sure you're running the program as an admin, otherwise no changes will be made to your system (nothing is saved). In Windows 7, Forge may be happier when run from somewhere in the My Documents structure, (they call them Libraries now???) or from another partition other than C:. The user has little permission to do much on the system drive.
Java Issues:
------------
Some people that are using an early version of Java 7 under the Windows OS have reported errors that state "Split must have > 2 children". Anyone having this sort of problem should de-install java 7 and install java 6 instead.
Forge is likely to be compatible with Java 7 at this time. Some people have used forge with Java 7 and have not reported any problems that are related to Java 7. If you would like to upgrade to Java 7 and have held off because of Forge then you may upgrade as we do not think that it will cause an incompatibility type of problem. We will continue to try to maintain compatibility with Java 6 for the foreseeable future.
Forge requires java 6 and will not run if you have an earlier version of java. You will need to update to java 6.

Card Picture Issues:
--------------------
The server which contained the high quality card pictures is now off line and these high quality card pictures are no longer available as a download from within the forge application. We apologize, but the current dev team do not maintain this server and this matter is out of our control.
Some people are choosing to re-download all of the low quality card and card set pictures when they install the next version of forge. This consumes large amounts of bandwidth needlessly. Please be careful!
When you install the new version of Forge, find the forge/res/pics/ folder. Either move it or copy and paste the pics folder over to the recently installed new version of forge. This way you will only have to download the pictures for the new cards.
The instructions that were found in this section are now out of date. Current instructions can be found in the CHANGES.txt and forge.profile.properties.example files.
When you install a new version of Forge, please follow the instructions that can be found in the CHANGES.txt and forge.profile.properties.example files. This will allow you to reuse your previous picture files and other user data files. This way you will only have to download the pictures for the new cards.
This should save enough bandwidth that everyone will be able to download the new set pictures from the cardforge server. We do appreciate your efforts to save bandwidth. Thank you.

Forge will now allow you to upload a crash report to the Forge forum at CCGH.
A new very hard tier category in Quest mode:
--------------------------------------------
You will notice a new very hard tier category for the opponent. As you change from the previous tier to the next tier (easy to medium, etc.) you will now notice that there is not an abrupt change over. There is now a mixture of decks from the previous tier and the next tier for you to chose from. When you win a match you will complete the advancement to the next tier.
The Forge Booster Draft mode:
-----------------------------
A significant re-write of the Booster Draft functionality has taken place. Draft from the Full card pool, sets/blocks or custom drafts (like cube). The AI will pick cards more intelligently, and builds decks from picked cards. Old method would pick cards for deck and then stop picking new cards.
The developer mode:
-------------------
The developer mode gives us a few new features. These new features will primarily interest the devs as it will now help to test out specific cards while testing combat code changes. You can turn on or off this mode at the Home View -> Game Settings -> Preferences -> Gameplay Options section.
When turned on the battlefield will have a tab named "Dev Mode". There are a number of useful options in this tab. You can disable loss by milling, generate mana in your mana pool, tutor for card, etc.
New foil card image available:
------------------------------
Rob and Marc have worked together to add in a new feature which will overlay a card's image with a foil like film. A few random cards will have a foil like image in constructed mode games and possibly quest mode games. There is a check box on the Home View -> Game Settings -> Preferences view that you can use to turn this feature on or off.
Informational icons overlays for cards on the battlefield:
The Battlefield will now display three symbolic icons that will overlay creature cards. These icons are used to denote summoning sickness and whether a creature is attacking or blocking. Added additional icons that will be drawn over the cards in the battlefield for phasing and counters at a later date. The attack/block/phasing icons and counters will now also be shown on large cards, only casting cost will be omitted. Lands and tokens with different amounts/types of counters will no longer stack. Tokens with different summoning sickness will no longer stack. Lands that become creatures will now always be moved to the front row.
Optional choice for abilities that are on the stack:
When a spell or an ability appears on the stack and it says "(OPTIONAL)" you can right-click it to decide if you want to always accept or to decline it.
Multiple quest files:
---------------------
Multiple quest files are now supported. This allows you to start a new quest and give it a unique name, and it will not overwrite your previous quest game file.
The new UI now uses tabbed panes:
---------------------------------
We now have a tab system for sub-menus in the home screen. Quest mode refactored to fit this tab system. It's now considerably easier to use - less cramped, less clicks, more functionality.
The quest mode card shop:
-------------------------
You can now buy PreCon decks, Starter packs, Tournament packs and Fat packs from the quest mode card shop.
Player Avatar pictures:
-----------------------
The UI has a few new features including the option to pick an avatar from a collection of pictures. This can be accessed from the Settings -> Avatars tab.
The organizational structure of the /res/decks/ folder:
The organizational structure of the /res/decks/ folder has been improved and we now have these six subdirectories:
/decks/constructed/
/decks/cube/
/decks/draft/
/decks/plane/
/decks/scheme/
/decks/sealed/
You can place your deck files from an earlier version of Forge into the /res/decks/ folder. When you next launch Forge these decks will be converted to a newer format and will be moved into the proper subdirectory.
Please not that your /decks/ directory no longer resides in you /res/ directory and has been moved to <userDir>/decks/.
User-created themes for Forge's background, fonts, colors and icons:
When you select a new skin in the Preferences view Forge should save the change to the preference file, quit and then automatically re-launch with the new skin displayed. During testing some people have noticed that Forge is not restarting on their computer and they have to re-launch Forge themselves.
If anyone is interested in creating additional themes for inclusion in the Forge project then you should visit this topic at CCGH:
The Battlefield UI has a new feature implemented which allows us to move and resize the panels to new places on the battlefield. This allows us to personalize the battlefield display to our own liking. You should try moving panels by clicking and dragging their tabs.
If you do not like your efforts to personalize the battlefield display you can revert the display to the default layout by clicking on the Dock button labeled "Revert layout".
The pets in quest mode:
-----------------------
Some adjustments to the pets in quest mode were made. The quest mode plant wall's Deathtouch ability was deemed to be too strong against the AI's attack code and this ability was changed to Wither in this version. This includes a new pet.
The dock tab has a new button labeled "Open Layout":
The dock now has a new button labeled "Open Layout" along with old button with original function "Revert Layout". Modifying the battlefield layout will result in your changes being saved to a file named "match_preferred.xml". You can copy and rename that file to share your layouts with other people.
The new Deck Editors:
---------------------
The work on the new UI is now finished and this version adds the new UI to the deck editors. We all would like to thank Doublestrike for his contributions to the new UI.
The new deck editors include:
* a better text search (can search for multiple terms, and "not" terms
Several people have noticed forge slowing down after playing a number of matches without quitting forge in between the matches that are played. The new UI may be involved somehow. We also hope to have this figured out and fixed in the near future. Please be patient in the meanwhile. A recent fix was implemented that should improve the slowdown problem somewhat.
A lot of time and effort have gone into fixing the memory leak problems that were recently noticed and reported to the dev team. Doublestrike and Slapshot deserve our applause and we are very thankful. People should be able to now play long multi match sessions without noticing slow downs and pauses.
Some performance changes were made to Forge and it should now operate more quickly on low end machines. Mid to high level machines are unlikely to notice as much of a performance increase. We tried to hunt down all of the bugs that resulted from these changes but there may still be a bug or two in this beta release.
A note about winning booster packs in quest mode:
-------------------------------------------------
If you win a quest mode match, you get a booster pack for every 1 or 2 (default) Wins, depending on the difficulty level. If you lose and you are playing on easy mode, you get a booster pack every 1 (default) Loss.
The new UI:
-----------
The first step was to update the battlefield window. The second step was to update the New Game window (now named Home view). We got constructed mode and then quest modes working first. We got the draft and sealed modes working again afterwards.
The work on the new UI is now for the most part finished. We should not expect major changes or major additions to the UI. Future betas may include a few minor bug fixes to the UI. And we may also include a few minor tweaks.
The new Alpha Strike button:
----------------------------
A new Alpha Strike button was added to the dock. The Dock is one of the tabs availble in the battlefield view.
Using Forge with the new Mac OS Mountain Lion:
----------------------------------------------
If you update your OS to Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion and try to launch a new version of forge that you will likely get a dialog which states "File is damaged and cannot be opened. Please move to trash."
Mountain Lion comes with a new Gatekeeper feature and this is probably blocking your ability to launch this newer version of forge. Visit the link below and follow the instructions. They are fairly long and detailed.
Please note that the issue is most likely caused by Mountain Lion's Gatekeeper feature and it is extremely unlikely that the forge dev team will attempt to get a unique Developer ID from Apple and use it to digitally sign our forge app.
The Forge sealed deck mode:
---------------------------
Sealed Deck mode has had a complete rewrite. Full cardpool, block and custom modes are supported. Custom sealed files in the res/sealed folder are exactly the same as custom draft files, except the file extension ".sealed".
A distinction may now be made between AI decks and Human decks, with the addition of a deck Metadata "PlayerType", which right now just helps by sorting human decks into the human combo box and AI decks into the AI combo box.
The Forge sealed deck mode has undergone significant changes. You can find these in the 1.2.14 beta and later versions. Instead of a single sealed deck match, you can now choose a 1-5 round gauntlet-style tournament where you will face increasingly difficult (probably) opponent decks. You can also choose to use starter packs instead of boosters in the block mode, choose to use 3-12 boosters instead of the default 6 in the full cardpool and custom (cube) modes, and so on.
Perhaps the most notable changes to the sealed deck mode are related to "fantasy blocks" and the greatly increased flexibility you have when you are building your own blocks.
The new Gauntlet mode:
----------------------
A new Gauntlet mode has been added. This mode gives you four options: Quick Gauntlet, Build A Gauntlet, Load Gauntlet and Gauntlet Contests. You can create a group of computer decks to play against by choosing either Custom user decks, Quest Decks, Fully random color decks or Semi-random theme decks.
The new Variant mode (was named Multiplayer):
---------------------------------------------
A new multiplayer mode has also been added. You should be able to play against multiple AI opponents at this time. You should note that the current Archenemy mode does not use Schemes at this time.
A lot of things are planned for this new multiplayer mode and it will take time to finish. Please enjoy what we have at this time and be patient. :)
Since Multiplayer is so new, not all cards will be 100% compatible right away as we expand scripting to handle multiple players.
The older match layout files are incompatible with the new multiplayer mode. The original match_default.xml, match_preferred.xml and the match_preferred.xml saved to a different name files have to go and can no longer be used. You can keep your editor_preferred.xml file. But you will have to setup your match view panels using the new match_default.xml file.
The new damage dialog:
----------------------
The new damage dialog now uses the new UI.
When choosing cards, sources, etc. using a list box:
When choosing cards, sources, etc. using a list box, the currently selected card will now be visually highlighted on the play field (to better distinguish between e.g. three different cards with the same name on the play field). Now the visual highlighting of a card will also work when declaring the order of blockers.
Return to Ravnica Guild Sealed Deck mode:
-----------------------------------------
Added Return to Ravnica Guild Sealed Deck mode. Start a new sealed deck game, choose "Block / Set" and then scroll down until you find "Return to Ravnica Guild Sealed (block)". Select that. From the "Choose Set Combination" menu, select the first option. You will be prompted twice to pick your guild (once for the promo cards, once for the actual booster - you should choose the same guild both times). After that you're ready to go.
Targeting arrows are now available in the battlefield display:
The Targeting Overlay has been fixed and re-enabled. It now correctly shows the targeting arcs in cases when it previously showed them in the wrong direction. The match UI is properly refreshed when the targeting arcs are switched on/off. The defunct "mouseover-only" mode is currently disabled (it crashes Forge, difficult to fix).
The visuals for targeting arrows has been improved and looks better, with an adaptation of the arrow drawing code from MAGE. Thanks to the MAGE team for permission for the adaptation.
Some people have noticed slowdowns when Targeting arrows are enabled. The battlefield Dock tab includes a targeting icon. You can set the targeting arrows to Off or to Card mouseover to speed up the game.
The new sound system:
---------------------
Forge now has a sound effect system in place. Several basic sounds are linked to the code now and will be enabled when "Enable Sounds" option is checked in the preferences. It supports WAV and AU file formats.
Currently supported sound effects are:
(the ones already available in the standard installation of Forge are marked with a [*])
AddCounter [*] - add_counter.wav - triggered when a counter is added to a permanent.
Artifact[*] - artifact.wav - triggered when an artifact is played.
ArtifactCreature [*] - artifact_creature.wav - triggered when an artifact creature is played.
BlackLand [*] - black_land.wav - triggered when a land with the "B" mana ability is played.

All sounds use the event bus model now and are not called directly.
The new Vanguard mode:
----------------------
We now have a Vanguard mode implemented. This is a work in progress. The older match layout files are incompatible with the new Vanguard mode. The original match_default.xml, match_preferred.xml and the match_preferred.xml saved to a different name files need to be deleted and can no longer be used. You can keep your editor_preferred.xml file. But you will have to setup your match view panels using the new match_default.xml file.
The new Archenemy mode:
-----------------------
Schemes have been added to the Archenemy mode. This is a work in progress and there may be a bug or two for us to find.
Quest Worlds:
-------------
This version allows you to travel between the regular quest world and the other worlds (Shandalar, Ravnica, Jamuraa, more may be added in the future) to get different duel opponents and challenges. You will have to complete your current challenges before traveling or you will lose them.
World-specific format enforcing and starting world selection are available. Something has to be done about locked (non-repeatable) challenges so they do not end up locking other challenges in different worlds.
Forge now has sideboards for the human player:
----------------------------------------------
Sideboards have been implemented for Human players. We currently have:
* Sideboard creation support in relevant deck editor modes.
* In-game sideboarding with persistence between rounds in a match and sorting of cards in the in-game sideboard editor.
* Sideboard supported as a zone, with some relevant cards already in.
* Correct validation of decks, both before the game starts and between the rounds (Limited min 40, Constructed min 60, free-form sideboard/main in Draft and Sealed, 1:1 sideboarding with 0 or 15 cards allowed in sideboard in Constructed (all variants) and Quest; OK to have less than minimum between rounds in a match in all modes if lost cards on ante).
* Correct (fingers crossed) interaction of sideboarding with other relevant aspects of Forge rule enforcement (mulligan and ante interactions were corrected, initial hand and library between rounds were both corrected, everything else looks so far so good).
We don't yet have:
* AI sideboarding.
The deck conformance/legality limitation:
-----------------------------------------
The deck conformance/legality is now a user-toggable preference and is enabled by default. You no longer need to turn on dev mode to play an illegal deck.
Using Forge on displays that are only 600 pixels tall or slightly larger:
The "Sanctioned Format: Constructed" view should now be compatible with displays that are only 600 pixels tall. The deck list at 600 pixels tall should now display three lines of text rather than less than a single line of text.
We are looking for help in finding additional sound files for the new sound feature:
This version of forge includes a few sound files for the new sound effect system. While we have several sounds assigned to a few of the available events there are a number of events that do not yet have a assigned sound file. This should be considered a work in progress and we could use some help in finding interesting sounds that we can add to forge.
The sound files need to be in wav or au format, wav appears to be more widespread but the code can handle either format. The sound files need to be copyright-free and they should be in the public domain.
You can either record your own sounds if you have the necessary equipment or you may be able to find an appropriate sound on a website such as http://www.freesound.org/browse/
You should note that sound files can be large and we would like to avoid this if possible. A good size to shoot for would be 50 K or less. There is a freeware sound editor that may have versions for all operating systems. This app is named Audacity.
We have a forge forum topic at the Collectible Card Games Headquarters web site that is devoted to finding sounds for this new sound system. Please visit this topic and contribute a sound or two. We can use your help and assistance. :)
A second Quest World, Jamuraa, has been added to Forge. When playing Quest mode, it is now possible to 'Travel' between the regular Quest environment and the two Worlds, Shandalar and Jamuraa, both of which include special formats, opponents and challenges. Or you can start a new Quest in any of them.
Like Shandalar, Jamuraa is a fantasy world. Its peaceful existence has recently been wrecked by a planar conjunction that shattered the barriers between Jamuraa and the infernal planes known as Jahim, Saqar, and Jahannam. The demon planeswalkers who rule those planes, and their hellish sister, Lilith, are now extending their influence over Jamuraa and gradually destroying the whole continent. Your task is to fight their minions and ultimately challenge the four demons - but beware, their destructive might is unfathomable!
From a technical perspective, the following sets are available to the player in Jamuraa:
5th Edition, Arabian Nights, Mirage, Visions, Weatherlight.
Jamuraa contains:
- 81 opponent decks, broken down as follows: 13 'easy' decks, 17 'medium' decks, 31 'hard' decks, and 20 'very hard' decks.
- 9 challenges, including the 4 demon planeswalkers (the 3 demon rulers and Lilith) and 5 other special scenarios set in Jamuraa. All challenges are repeatable. All are fairly hard, and the 4 demon challenges are especially fiendish.
For the most part, the opponent duel and challenge decks are built with the same format restrictions as your own cardpool, and some of the easiest opponent decks were in fact based on a limited cardpool. But there will be exceptions, especially in the hard/very hard decks and challenges, which can be more like Vintage/T1 decks than pure Mirage + 5th Edition decks. There will be older cards here and there, and maybe even a random Tempest card or two (although these are extremely scarce!).
Hint: if you find the later 'Vintage' opponent decks unfair or near-impossible to beat with your 5th Edition/Mirage block cards, you can Travel to Shandalar and collect some old power cards there, and then return to Jamuraa. Just remember to complete your challenges before traveling.
Information on the quest worlds format can be found in this topic:
Some work is being done on the various deck editors -- including the quest spell shop -- and we hope to add in additional features while improving the UI. Here is a quick tutorial on the new features:
FILTERS
The Filters tab has been removed and filters are now controlled from the Card Catalog tab. Pretty much everything that used to be a checkbox is now represented by a toggle button. The statistics labels at the top for colors and card types can now be clicked to toggle display of the related cards. Clicking the Total Cards label in the upper left will alternately set all filters on and off.
Text searches are done by just typing the the text box. The results will update as you type. Use the combo box to the right of the text box to set whether the search should be for cards with or without the specified text. The three toggle buttons to the right of the combo box allow you to specify where in the card the text should (or should not) match. Complex text searches, such as for goblin creatures with haste but not with kicker costs, are possible by stacking the search filters. Put the current search filter on the stack by selecting the "Add filter" button to the left of the text box and choosing the "Current text search" option. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on OSX). This will keep your current text search applied, but will clear the text box and allow you to input the next search filter. To perform the example goblin search above, you would:
1) Ensure "in" is displayed in the the combo box. Enter "goblin" in the text box and deselect Name and Text so that only Type is selected.
2) Hit Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on OSX). Notice the "Contains: 'goblin" in: type" filter appears below the text box.
3) Type "haste" in the text box. Deselect Type and select Text. Hit Ctrl+Enter.
4) Change the combo box from "in" to "not in". Type "kicker" in the text box.
The shown entries match your combined search filter. Click the little 'x' in the upper right corner of each search widget to remove that filter from the filter stack.
Format filters allow you to restrict the shown cards to those that are legal in a particular format. Select the "Add filter" button, hover over the "Format" submenu, and choose one of the defined formats. The filter will appear below the text box and will be combined with whatever other filters you have on the stack. Hover the mouse over the filter widget to see details on allowed sets and banned cards. Keep in mind that cards from other, non-listed sets may still appear in the results if they are just reprints of allowed cards.
Set filters are similar to format filters except that a window will come up with a grid of checkboxes so you can select exactly which sets you would like shown. There is a checkbox at the bottom (off by default) that will allow the filter to include cards reprinted in unselected sets, just like the format filter above. If you don't check this checkbox, only cards printed in the selected sets will be shown, allowing you to focus on just that set's version of a particular card. This is very useful in quest mode when determining which cards in a set you have yet to collect.
Value range filters allow you to restrict the cards by power, toughness, and/or converted mana cost (CMC). The text boxes that appear in the filter widget are editable and update the shown cards in realtime as you modify the numbers.
Quest World filters are similar to Format filters in that they restrict the shown cards to a group of sets, respecting lists of banned cards. They are useful when constructing decks that will be valid in the various quest worlds. You can have more than one quest world filter active at the same time; useful if you are constructing a deck that will be used in multiple worlds.
SPELL SHOP
The spell shop interface has also received some usability enhancements. The first one you may notice is the addition of a new column named "Owned". This column is intended to help players decide whether buying an item is likely to be beneficial. The data in this column varies depending on what kind of item the row represents:
Cards: A number indicating how many of a particular card a player already owns
Preconstructed decks: A "YES" or "NO" indicating whether the deck exists in the player's deck list
Booster/fat packs: A percentage indicating how close a player is to completing the related set. "Complete" means at least one of every basic land and at least 4 of every other card.
If you don't want this column, it can be turned off in the editor preferences.
The new "Sell excess cards" button appears above the player's library. Clicking it will sell all cards that are not basic lands until only four copies of the cards remain. It's a one-click "cleanup" of the library and a great way to safely and quickly regain some cash.
The "Full catalog view" button appears to the left of the "Buy Card" button. Toggling this button will switch between showing the store's inventory and the full catalog. By applying a filter to show only a particular set (or group of sets), players can use this view to discover exactly which cards they do not own. Buying and selling cards is disabled while in this view.
Multibuy: By selecting any number of items and hitting space (or selecting the "Buy Card" or "Sell Card" buttons), a player can buy one of everything selected.
Find-as-you-type is now implemented for Deck Editor tables. Just start typing while the table has focus and the next card with a matching string in its name will be highlighted. If more than one card matches, hit Enter to select the next matching card. A popup panel will appear with the search string so you know what you are searching for. If no cards match the string, the string will be highlighted in red. Normally, if you hit the spacebar while a card is selected in one table, the card will be moved to the other table (catalog/deck). When the popup is displayed, space characters are interpreted as part of the search string. Find-as-you-type mode is automatically exited after 5 seconds of inactivity, or hit Escape to exit find-as-you-type mode immediately.
The Deck Editor has also gained some hotkey and context menu abilities. R-click on a card (or a group of selected cards) for a list of actions and keyboard shortcuts. In particular, you can now transfer cards 4 at a time using the keyboard and interact with the sideboard from anywhere. Also remember that you can jump to the other table with the arrow keys and jump to the text filter with ctrl/cmd+f. From the text filter, you can jump down to the tables by pressing enter.
The Game Log:
-------------
Added a 'copy to clipboard' button on WinLose screen so players can easily copy the game log.
The UI is more keyboard-friendly:
---------------------------------
Work was also done on making the UI more keyboard-friendly. For example, the OK button should now stay focused during matches, so you can advance through the stages by hitting Enter without having to go over and click the button all the time. If you find the button is losing focus, please report it as a bug.
Gatecrash Guild Sealed game mode:
---------------------------------
Gatecrash Guild Sealed game mode has been added. To use it, start a new Sealed Mode Game, select "Block / Set" and "Gatecrash Guild Sealed". Select the first (default) configuration in the "Choose Set Combination" dialog, and when asked to pick your boosters, choose the guild you want twice (once for the guild-specific booster, and then for the extra promo cards).
The following cards are not included in the guild boosters of this game mode because they are not currently implemented in Forge: Bane Alley Broker, Bioshift, Killing Glare, Simic Manipulator.
New User Preferences:
---------------------
The display of clones and copied cards is now a matter of user preference. A user to now choose whether a clone/copied card should use its native artwork or the artwork of the card being cloned. So if Infinite Reflection is played and the "Clones use original card art" preference is checked, the cards that become copies of the enchanted card will still use their own art whereas by default they would all use the card art from the enchanted card.
Flippable Cards:
----------------
Flippable cards -- cards that have an alternate card printed upside-down at the bottom -- will now flip their appearance on the battlefield when in a flipped state. They are now also flippable in the card viewer by clicking on the card image, just like double-sided "transform" cards have been. When flipped this way, the details of the flipped side can be examined in the Card Details oracle text.
High Quality Booster Pictures:
------------------------------
Forge will now download high quality booster pictures. If you are interested in these high quality booster pictures, then you should delete the pictures that are found in your <cacheDir>/pics/boosters/ directory. Then download the new pictures by using the Home View -> Game Settings -> Content Downloaders -> Download Quest Images button.
Flip, Transform and Morph cards:
--------------------------------
When you mouse over a flip, transform or Morph (controlled by you) card in battlefield, you may hold SHIFT to see other state of that card at the side panel that displays card picture and details.
Alternate sound system:
-----------------------
Implemented an alternative sound system for people who have issues with sound gradually or instantly disappearing on certain Linux systems. Can be switched on/off in the preferences without needing a restart. Uses the standard Java Sound API so it doesn't require an external dependency. It's non-caching and, as such, less efficient than the regular sound system, so only use it in case you have issues with the default system, otherwise leave the option unchecked.
Human vs Human play over the internet:
--------------------------------------
Some initial code has been added that will at some point in the future allow human vs human play over the internet. This is a work in progress and is far from being implemented at this time. Please be patient. Anyone who is curious can read the messages in the http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=9837 topic.
Random Deck generation:
-----------------------
Deck generation is now strictly conforming the colors chosen. You won't get any Boros Reckoner in a RG deck, that could be added before the change (because its manacost could be paid with red mana). Avacyn's Piligrim won't be added in a deck that has green but doesn't have white, though it does not consume, but produces white mana. As well there won't be added any creatures whose activated abilities require colors not choosen for a given deck. That is to say that now color identity is used for deck generation, that allows a better filtering of cards.
Single declare attackers step:
------------------------------
Combined declare attackers step for all Defending Players/Planeswalkers. On declare attackers step you have to click the entiry you are about to attack and then click on the creatures that should attack it. Clicking on a planeswalker or player visually highlights it, so that you will see whos attackers are assigned at the moment. By default your first opponent is pre-selected.
Booster slots:
--------------
Booster slots are now way more customizable. This change allows us to implement DGM boosters correctly. Note that custom cube .draft and .sealed files have changed their format. They require a booster description instead of Num(Rarity) N lines. Find example records in files describing SkieraCube and Juzamjedi cude coming with Forge. Singleton parameter is obsolette, since all cards within a booster slot are unique. Ignore rarity is also deprecated, for Booster options allow you to pick cards regardless of rarity with 'any' word standing for ignored rarity. (ex: 15 Any)
Quest challenge start in play cards:
------------------------------------
We have received reports that the quest challenge start in play cards are not appearing on the battlefield for people who were playing the classic mode rather than the fantasy mode. This should now be fixed.
Commander:
----------
We are taking baby steps toward Commander but there are some hurdles left before we get there. We need to implement the replacement effect that moves the commander back to your command zone; the cost-changing depending on how many times you've cast your commander; generating colorless mana if you try to generate mana outside your commanders color identity and AI for all the above.
Customize your Sealed Deck games with fantasy blocks:
We have an informative topic at CCGH which explains how you can create "fantasy blocks" and the greatly increased flexibility you have when you are building your own blocks. Please see the topic http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=8164 for more information. Also note that the syntax was recently changed, see message http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=8164&view=unread#p117389 for additional information.
Custom Cube:
------------
1. You can create and save your cube as a constructed deck. Place the .dck file in the /res/cube directory.
2. To create a description file in the /res/draft folder you need to make a copy of any existing *.draft file and the adjust the deckfile and booster structure to meet your needs.
This file format is outdated. "NumCards" is no longer used. Instead there should be a line describing a booster.
This problem should be fixed. At least you'll see an exception/crash report describing why the match didn't start instead of a blank screen.
Duplicate triggers problem solved:
----------------------------------
This problem has now been fixed. (Mana Vortex required 2 lands, Emrakul gave 2 extra turns, Empty the Warrens creatures two Storm triggers instead of one.)
Constructed mode AI vs AI matches:
----------------------------------
Added support for AI vs AI matches. There is a checkbox which allows you to view the AI vs AI match. This is a work in progress and is not finished. While it appears to work OK there is still a need for a few UI changes. Please be patient. These AI vs AI matches will not be a good way to test out various deck types against one another as the AI does not understand card combos and the AI is still limited at this time.
Constructed mode Human vs Human Hotseat matches:
------------------------------------------------
Hotseat matches are now possible. This mode has some known bugs to fix. At this time both players must use the same computer. Human vs Human matches via the internet is planned and should become available sometime in the future. Please be patient.
Using predetermined decks in quest mode Challenges:
Added the capability to play Challenges vs predetermined decks (along with a few other related options to disallow specific quest mode things). Added Sorin vs Tibalt, and Tibalt vs Sorin as examples of Challenges that force you to use a specific Deck. (They seemed to be the best duel deck compatibility for the AI).
Targeting Overlay:
------------------
Targeting arrows will now be shown for equipments equipping permanents currently under opponent's control (for those rare cases when e.g. an equipped creature gets Switcheroo'd for something else).
The AI Drafting has been improved:
----------------------------------
The AI evaluated the basic lands higher than anything else. Fixed. The AI would pick cards with RemAIDeck but only at a much lowered pick rate. For example the best pick in a 250 card set would become the 75th best pick, the 20th best pick would become the 95th and so on. Divided this factor by 3 (so the first pick would become the 25th pick). Please test whether this has improved the draft experience.
Planechase AI:
--------------
This version of Forge includes basic support for AI opponents making use of the planar die in Planechase game mode. The AI will be able to use the "Roll the planar die" ability for most of the planes currently supported by Forge. Please note that this AI is currently in its infant stage, so don't expect it to utilize the planar die in a very smart fashion.
Adding additional opponent decks to your /res/quest/duels/ directory:
Some people are adding additional opponent decks to their /res/quest/duels/ directory in an attempt to increase the number of opponents they will face while playing a quest.
The decks located in your /res/quest/duels/ directory are text files that have a file extension of ".dck" rather than the file extension ".txt". These deck files can be loaded into a basic text editor. You can view the contents of the deck files this way.
There is a metadata line for the deck's difficulty setting. Normal decks do not contain this metadata line for the deck's difficulty setting. Starting with Forge version 1.4.3 any deck file that does not include the deck's difficulty setting will be automatically assigned a value of "medium".
You can add a line for the deck's difficulty setting using a text editor and then saving the deck file. Currently, Forge will recognize the following settings:
Difficulty=easy
Difficulty=medium
Difficulty=hard
Difficulty=very hard
At the start of a new quest you will only face opponent decks that have an easy difficulty setting. After you have won a number of matches you will then face the opponent decks that have a medium difficulty setting. After you have won an additional number of matches you will then face the opponent decks that have a hard difficulty setting. Opponent decks that have a very hard difficulty setting may occassionally appear as a possible opponent instead of a opponent deck that has a hard difficulty setting.
- version 1.4.4 -
We were not able to release version 1.4.4 and are releasing 1.4.5 instead. Enjoy.
- Deck Editor and General UI improvements -
You can now right-click on a color filter button to show only cards of that color, filtering out all other colors. Similar with card type filter buttons.
Can double click row for deck to open it (in addition to clicking edit icon)
The selected tab on each draggable pane will now be remembered between sessions
Fixed bug where hover effect didn't work the first time hovering over a row that had just been deselected
Fixed bug where middle and right clicking buttons did the same behavior as left clicking, and fixed bug where clicking multiple buttons quickly (such as filters) while moving the mouse around would result in clicks not registering sometimes.
Fixed so cards are "selected" on mouse up instead of mouse down, allowing things like drag drop and zoom to work if the card is currently actionable
Fixed so, after dragging a pane tab to a new location, the pane it was in before selects its most recent remaining tab instead of being blank
- Card Zoomer -
Now you can gaze at your HQ images in all their glory with just a flick of the mousewheel, holding the middle mouse button down, or holding the left and right mouse buttons down at the same time. This feature will also increase the size of low quality pics up to the size used for high quality pics, but the image will not be very clear.
Instructions:
- Works on any card image in the Deck Editor or Duel screen.
- Move your mouse over the card you want to zoom and mouse-wheel forward.
- Mouse-wheel back, mouse click or pressing ESC closes the zoomed image.
Limitations:
- Only works with the mouse wheel at the moment.
- Does not show the other side of double-sided cards yet.
WIP:
- Press and hold the CTRL key while mousing over a card to see zoomed image.
- Flipping double-sided card.
- Preferences updates -
All reset buttons now appear under Troubleshooting section. Increased visibility of Troubleshooting section by moving to the top of the preferences screen. Added confirmation dialogs to all reset buttons.
Converted Skins list to themed combo and added to new Visual Themes section. Converted AI Profile list to themed combo and moved to top of GamePlay section. New Visual Themes setting to hide or show background image on match screen. Default show.
These new themed combo boxes when used with a theme which uses white colored text will cause readability problems for people using Mac OS X. A new "Themed ComboBox" setting is now available in the preferences section which will enable/disable themed combos should you be having readability problems with the new themed combo used in the preferences page.
- Window size/position now remembered between sessions -
Works with multiple monitors.
Remembers whether the window was maximized or un-maximized.
The first time you launch Forge after this update, the window will be maximized on default monitor, with 800x600 centered being used if you un-maximize. This matches how it worked before.
Remembers last un-maximized size even if the window is currently maximized such that, if you un-maximize the window, it will restore to that size at the center of the current monitor.
Window will be made accessible even if monitor setup or screen resolution is different between sessions.
- Card Zoomer Updates -
The Card Zoomer/Preview now supports split, flip and double-sided cards including cards played face down (eg. morph).
Split cards (name contains "//") are now rotated 90 degrees for easier viewing.
If a card is a flip- or double-sided card then you can easily view the alternate image using...
- wheel mode : flick wheel forward or tap CTRL key.
- button mode : tap CTRL key.
The standard flip graphic (the two rotated arrows) is displayed if the card can be flipped or transformed.
- Home Screen UI Improvements -
The menu on the Home Screen is now scrollable using either a mouse wheel or arrow buttons that will appear at the top or bottom if scrolling can occur in that direction
The Deck Editor and Exit Forge buttons are now laid out vertically to make it easier to add launch buttons for new screens coming down the pipeline (hint, hint...)
The menu on the Home Screen has been made narrower and the logo size increased to decrease whitespace and increase the width of the main panel
Release notes added to Games Settings section.
- User Preferences -
There's a new user preference that lets you choose whether a 0-cost block should prompt you to pay or to pay it automatically. This only affects blocking situations where you would have to actually pay 0, (e.g. War Cadence with X = 0). By default you'll be prompted for payment, allowing you to, for instance, prevent forced blocks by activating War Cadence for 0 then not paying the block cost.
- Match and Deck Editor Layout problems -
The match and deck editor windows contain panels that can be moved and/or resized. The changes that you make are saved to files that are named "editor.xml" and "match.xml". These files can be found in your userDir/preferences/ directory.
Sometimes people will decide that they do not like the changes that they made and wish to go back to the original layout. To reset layouts to default, go to the Game Settings -> Preferences -> Troubleshooting section. You will find at this location two buttons that will reset the match layout and the deck editor layouts.
Also use the mentioned measure if your match or deckeditor won't start - it would help in 90% of the cases.
- Constructed Mode decks can now be stored in subfolders -
The feature is half-complete now. Forge can read subfolders in constructed deck, you may start game with such deck, but cannot yet edit decks in subfolders nor manipulate subfolders.
=== Forge now has a Menubar ===
- Toggle visibility using the F1 key.
- The Forge menu contains Exit and Restart options.
- The Layout menu contains the selector for the various themes and a Set Window Size option.
- The Help menu contains links to online articles and the local TXT files.
=== Duel/Match Screen Changes ===
- Fixed: Concede is prevented during the declare blockers step.
== Menubar Changes ==
- Migration of Dock and DevMode options into Menubar.
- Toggle console tabs visibility.
- Toggle background image.
- Toggle sound effects.
== Game Log Console ==
- Scrollbar is now hidden by default. Click console to toggle visibility.
== Prompt Console ==
- Fixed: Prevent buttons from disappearing off screen as the console size is decreased.
== Card Preview Console ==
- Fixed: now adheres to Scale Image Larger setting.
=== General GUI ===
== Themes ==
- Combo-box style should now be appear correctly on Mac OS .
