Return to Ravnica 253/274

OK guys so I have put the .txt file in the primitives folder and the .DAT folder is in the RTR folder and my player/options folder has it as unlocked and I have the maxglee profile. The set shows up but only 44 cards and they are only cards that are in older sets like arrest, dispel, etc.. any other suggestions?

[akillerlain]

Could it be my CFW? I'm currently running 5.50 prometheus. Not sure what CFW you guys run.

Any new fixes to report?

[Tacoghandi]

Looked over the card fixes here and I see a lot of workarounds and stuff so I am not sure what i think i should fix and post. So what i will do is just go through the set and post fixes and card adds as i go. Technically with the semi official releases like this i dont think your suppose to use any workarounds like token workarounds so I will post the fixes i can do for cards that you want to use that have to use workarounds in a seperate reply than the official card fixes. I will also work on coming up with a possible overload fix using kicker to get as close as possible to playing the spell. Since the current one has the issue of can't be countered, which i believe is too powerful. Though when it comes down to overload that may be the best way to do it. Using kicker will cause the spell to still require an initial target which I am going to see if i can find a fix for but idk what i can do. The only way i can fix this as far as I know is to code the target in the auto line and then have the kicker create a token that will be targetable no matter what else your opponent has on the board. So that the spell will be cast and work as it should. Only draw back here is that the non overload spell will be able to be played without a target on the board for it. but i think that this fix will be closer to Overload itself.

I will start posting fixes in the next reply. Sorry if someone else has posted a fix and i did not see it but i will be posting the fixes that i have according to the last update to the primitive that was made in november. I will state whether the fix is a official or workaround as I post it to make it easier on me. After I am done I will post the primitive code with the updates that I have made.

Official Abrupt Decay. Fixed targeting issue to make card require a target as normal.

Code: Select all

[card]

Angel of Serenity is not codable for a couple of reasons. So I removed her from my primitives.
1. The cards have to go back to hand after she leaves play.
2. you can not blink from a graveyard

Ash Zealot updated with proper working code.

Code: Select all

[card]

mana={R}{R}

Avenging Arrow can not be controllerdamager as that only covers a creature that dealt damage to you this turn, and Avenging Arrow is able to target any creature that dealt damage to anything at all. I do not know how to code this card so i will remove it for now until someone comes up with support for it.
Azor's Elocutors text line had an extra line in it after each sentence.

More to come tomorrow as I am sleepy now.

Workaround...Here is what I have for my first working Overload card. I have coded Blustersquall by using Kicker. What the kicker does is to tap all creatures on the opponents battlefield like it should for overload, however, the kicker also grants the creatures protection from that particular Blustersquall. This way by using the workaround of not targeting as cast and targeting as resolve, the spell with kicker then does not declare a target and the spell will not hit a second time or trigger any targeting effects. This is as close as I can get with Overload, which is not bad.

Code: Select all

[card]
name=Blustersquall
auto=tap target(creature|opponentBattlefield)
kicker={3}
auto=kicker Tap all(creature|opponentbattlefield)
auto=kicker protection from(this) all(creature|opponentbattlefield)
text=Tap target creature you don't control. -- Overload {3}{U}. (You may cast this spell for its overload cost. If you do, change its text by replacing all instances of "target" with 'each.")
