Two example codes:
[card]
name=Alabaster Leech
auto=lord(*[white]|myhand) white:+1
autoexile=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autograveyard=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autohand=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autolibrary=all(*|myhand) resetcost
text=White spells you cast cost {W} more to cast.
mana={W}
type=Creature
subtype=Leech
power=1
toughness=3
[/card]
[card]
name=Helm of Awakening
auto=lord(*|myhand) colorless:-1
auto=lord(*|opponenthand) colorless:-1
autoexile=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autograveyard=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autohand=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autolibrary=all(*|myhand) resetcost
text=Spells cost {1} less to cast.
mana={2}
type=Artifact
[/card]
autoexile=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autograveyard=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autohand=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autolibrary=all(*|myhand) resetcost
----> This code section is necessary, because manacost altering cards will keep their effect even when they have left the battlefield. RESETCOST erases all alterations which have no existing source on the battlefield anymore.
2) Added the new keyword TRANSFORM, which is similar to BECOMES. The main difference is that you can change single parameters of a permanent (color,type,...).
Example codes:
[card]
name=Memnarch
auto={1}{U}{U}:target(*) transforms(artifact)
auto={3}{U}:moveTo(myBattlefield) target(arifact)
text={1}{U}{U}: Target permanent becomes an artifact in addition to its other types. (This effect lasts indefinitely.) -- {3}{U}: Gain control of target artifact. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)
mana={7}
type=Legendary Artifact Creature
subtype=Wizard
power=4
toughness=5
[/card]
[card]
name=Dralnu's Crusade
auto=lord(goblin) 1/1
auto=lord(goblin) transforms(zombie,black)
text=Goblin creatures get +1/+1. -- All Goblins are black and are Zombies in addition to their other creature types.
mana={1}{B}{R}
type=Enchantment
[/card]
Important notes concerning TRANSFORM:
- IF YOU TARGET A CREATURE THE EFFECT IS PERMINENT.
- IF YOU TARGET THE SOURCE THE EFFECT IS UNTIL END OF TURN.
- IF YOU USE LORD THE EFFECT LAST TIL PERMINENT SOURCE LEAVES PLAY.
These restrictions will probably be changed in the near future!
3) Added 57 successfully tested cards.
Card list ---> first comment
4) Changed the name of several tokens: "()" used to cuase crashes when used in the name-line.
5) Added the new keyword NONBATTLEZONE for leaves play trigger optimizing. It can be used to replace the phrase "EXILE,GRAVEYARD,HAND,LIBRARY".
I will add tests for test suite in one of the next revisions!!
####### TEST SUITE PROVEN ########
Most of the cards are based on the last adds by salmelo, while some few cards could have been added for half a year or more.
2 weeks of intensive testing are over, and I think all cards will do what they should but if you still find something discussable after testing them by yourself, plz post it here!
Card list -> First post.
- matched card names of flip cards and split cards in _cards.dat and mtg:todo.dat
- removed the now superfluous todo.dat files, the file mtg_todo.dat replaces these.
- fix for issue 301 (creatures go to graveyard)
- This adds an important change to "movedTo", which now accepts a "full" target description in both "from" and "movedTo". The point is that a card does not move to "creature|graveyard" from "battlefield" but moves from "creature|battlefield" to "graveyard".
- IMPORTANT: Legendary is not an ability anymore, creating cards with super types should be much more natural. You can now say "type=Snow Land", and stuff like that. No backward compatibility!!!
- Adding most missing sets. _cards.dat only contain 1 card so that the file is not submitted empty, but other than that...hundreds of cards to add... feel free to copy/paste existing files from the forum if you trust their content
