Get Involved in MD Development

Those who already have A25 please have a read through this post and ask me any questions about it (this post needs the A25 password, ask me on PM if you need it and want to be involved) I think its best to split it by land, don't worry if you miss any scenes because I can search the DB to find missing ones pretty easily if I script something up. Any A25 members please say which land you want to do (please only take one at a time) No Mans Land - Chewett Necrovion - Syrian Marind Bell Magicduel Archives Loreroot - Aia Lands of the East - Aelis GG Underground Prison - Aia Somewhere else I have missed?

apart from the odd name (sry for that), this one is a more complex base ability. I will post below the generator and the initial sample use that is currently in work. I expect you to reply with valid suggestions by copy pasting the generator result here, no other alternatives. GENERATOR ---- Rise of the Phoenix riseofthephoenix|target_player=a,e;target_marks=winged;target_species=bird;deadoralive=onlydead;onround=every_3;val=50%;mode=add;runpoint=after_creature_turn Brings back to life all winged birds on the battlefield every 3 rounds, restoring half their vitality, provided this creature survives to that round. Template: vitali…

[UPDATE] Generator available , please use just this way, as it has latest parameters and format. GENERATOR FOR MarkForCritAbilities It also shows already implemented ones ---- I decided to create each new ability as a fully configurable thing, so it can be used to a lot more other creature abilities that require same mechanism. For example, the one i tested recently called "BadluckToHealers" is not a general ability with several parameters. I will post on forum each new ability kind, and i would very much like to receive from you suggestions for abilities that could use it. Several from the suggestions you posted on the pre…

[UPDATE, format change, full list of options, removed nonsense, generator script!] Use this generator code_comes_here| marks=archives,badluckbadluck,crippled,egg,ethereal,golemus,ranged,winged,;block=5%;target_skills=attack,defence;mode=add/subtract/multiply/divide (negative values allowed);runpoint=before_creature_turn it alters a fixed value or percentage from all the target_skills, for all the creatures that have the marks defined in "marks" Same rules and info like the previous post, go ahead and unleash your imagination! Keep in mind abilities work together and think of a plan on how they could be mixed. Don't write the plan, write j…

For those interested only, here is a dump of the current plans for shard abilities. Each ability can be activated be the creature at the start of the round, at the end, or at the beginning of the combat once. If you have ideeas for other cool creature abilities (that may use or set creature marks for example), write here , and i will pick some and implement them. Keep in mind that each ability must come with a trade-off, and not be overpowered. ps. sorry for the ugly format "table head" # id, code, name, description, active, principiul_ciclicitatii, principiul_echilibrului, principiul_elementelor, principiul_entropiei, principiul_i…

I am currently looking to start discussion groups relating to various areas that I see as important to improve in MagicDuel. I want MD to work a bit better by encouraging meaningful activity that changes the game. Putting the "player ran" back into MagicDuel and hopefully making it stand out from all those other games. These groups will work with be privately to flesh out some of the ideas before we present them more publicly or add in features. I will listen to all the ideas of those involved but at the end of the day I shall have the final say. This is your big change to influence MD in a dramatic way for the better so please do come at this with an open mind. Anyt…

I am about to do something crazy, but you can influence my plan here. I want to create an automated way in for all, or some, alliances, that will consider only things that are relevant for that ally. For example, Woodcutters guild should have such a backdoor for anyone with the right woodcutting skill. War alliances should have a backdoor to allow in people based on their land loyalty. You can suggest or demand (depeding on your tag and role) actual setups for this. This will also be a way to infiltrate and disband, but also to revive disbanded guilds. I will use this opportunity to enhance and extend the a25 tools to allow such a thing, becaus…

After spending with Steno for about two lifetimes about A25 he has suggested we run a quarterly survey similar to how we created a poll about how I should spend my weekend. Steno and myself will be working on creating such a survey to hear from people individually. All those who have ideas for questions and what should be asked should post here and I will add you to the discussion. I have already added @Demonic God All opinions are welcome and wanted.

He wants your ideas, nay he craves them. Your King and Grand Duke (not to mention good guy) @Chewett asks for your assistance. Whether it be interface patches, putting the discord button on the top bar, fixing FF issues, or something else, say it here! He told me to do this #ChewettMadeMeDoIt

I am looking for one or a number of people to help me review and fix up some of the old announcements. This will involve reading through them and suggesting who the author is likely to be, along with suggesting a codename if there isnt one and it needs one. Many of these the author will be assumed to be Mur. I will give the announcements out in batches so multiple people can help. (Some newer announcements had an author written in the announcement but not properly tagged). I will give each announcement to two people to see if both agree and give them out in batches of 400 or so. You can only have one batch of 400 at a time. While doing this task, it is sugg…

The announcements are not as easy to find as we would like so we would like to use some tags for announcements. However we will need them tagged and also need to decide on a good set of tags for the announcements. I need someone to organise a project to decide on a good set of initial tags that can be used to tag up each announcement. Please apply here if you wish to run this project. This will involve going over the announcements with a number of helpers and collecting an "initial set" of tags. You might decide at the end that we shouldnt have a fixed list but that will be up to you to present your conclusion to me. You will not be reviewing all announcements y…

Hello all! @Ungod and I have had several discussions of late concerning role-play and how one makes changes to their role/tag/self within MagicDuel itself. (For reference you can look at this topic to see what I mean. I think everyone should read part of this log as it is informative and is the breeding ground for the discussion that follows in this post) Spoiler Following the linked above discussion I remembered something from back in '07 when I first played. It was a rare occurrence then, but it was largely done by the more-hardcore Role-players. It was utilized as a way for a player to use RP to give reality to the fact they were ascending …

Ok to begin with I just joined the citizenship of Marind recently and have noticed 1 thing that has me puzzled and hope to change. The sudden shut down of gathering naturally occuring heat from sources other than your home and the loss of heat in foreign lands. 1. Heat exists everywhere, so it would only make sense that you could gain it from everywhere. 2. In terms of losing heat in a foreign land, that really should happen only in enemy lands along with vitality. Neutral lands shouldn't be affected like this. I only suggest that we change how it is gathered. For instance, For people unaligned they remain the same. For people who …

Is there anyone out there that can help with a video game review? This is not a task i could give to an outsider, as MD is too complex to explain to someone new, and even if i provide a test account with access to stuff, someone that is not part of this community would not understand what do say about it. I thought to ask...maybe there is someone of you that could do it? I need it for sending to game review sites and for advertising, so we can get some more players Thanks P.s rewards as usual, obviously

I would like some feedback on some things i want to add or change in the shop, to know if they are ok to be added to the shop, how deep, how many, etc. Please understand that my account is messed up with all sort of tests and changes and i might not accurately know what some items do or how they really influence you , thats why i need your feedback on this. stock changes are already in effect (id9) Bronze Avatar - removed for now, the interface no longer supports this (id20) Raw energy - loads 1500 heat, i want to change this to 1 heat stone (id21) Overcharged energy - gives 2500 heat, changed stock from 10 to 50, planning to make it give 4…

Heat Veins Mapping I want to change/fix/add heatveins information on _all_ md scenes. A25 medal holders have priority, followed by ex-kings an queens as counselors. There is a secret pattern that veins follow, and each land has it slightly different. I will assemble a team for this purpose, provide new tools and more instructions once a team has formed. Veins are the key to traveling impossible places, and to discover secret locations that can't be accessed by other ways. Darvin will is able to travel on heatveins, but right now he escaped GWI and reached the gazebo, where they veins are not fully configured yet. Trying to fix that, i discovered that…

I am looking for artists that can draw artwork for new items, quests, adventures, etc. If you're interested in helping with this, send me a pm and we'll discuss what is needed and compensation for your work.

I want to start promoting MD again. I am planning to start a SEO campaign and post some articles with links to MD allover the web, to help us get some more players. Is there anyone here that can write some 700 word articles about browser based games (half about such games in general and half about Md) ? This would help me greatly, i will handle the posting and adjust keywords and links myself, but i need something to start from. I need multiple such articles written in different form, so i cant write everything myself, and if multiple people write a couple, or at least one, it would be just perfect. Thanks Ps. Ofc there are rewards fo…

Aia finished converting flash scenes to individual images for artwork and clickables, over 200 of them. Now we need to assamble a team for uploading these and configuring their clickables to mimic original functionality. Please post here if you are willing to help. Because past experience with people that offered to help but did nothing, i am asking you not to offer your help if you are not sure you have time for this. This announcement is mainly for people that have past experience with A25 tools but also for people that are convinced they could learn using them. Lets get rid of this flash Updated list Azull (x) [ok] - h…

Here are some sample sources and step by step details for the scene conversion. Adobe Fireworks CS6 is needed, and i can't provide it if you don't already have it. http://storenow.net/my/?f=97b6b67388770f7f1a47a81ed82d3ec6 Thanks

If there was a new consumable item that you would use again and again what would it be and do? or, are there any current ones you would use regularly if you get could them more easily? The key point of this thread is looking for items you might want to use daily or hourly to help you in MD in some way.

Veteran or Skilled Questmakers, ...this is for you..... Help is needed Summary: i am looking for legendary, trustworthy, wise, super smart and creative people :))) to bring to life a new generation of quests and interactivity in MD, with the a25 tools that are already in use for a while. Similar to how Azull helps with this, an other legend. This document is long, it is inteded as a sort of documentation / tutorial / GUIDEBOOK. Its is a sample, and more than enough to give you a good hint or start to continue it yourself! Dream scenario: Quests will be made by players working in teams , with help of permanent or mercenary artists, or story writers, etc. One…

Hello everyone, Do you realize that you can be an important part in spreading the greatness of this realm? Yes you can, just by tweeting things about the game or just retweeting the post from MagicDuel's official Twitter account. As simple as that. I understand that not everyone here use Twitter, but for those who use it or will start using it, keep in mind that every single tweet or retweet from you will be very helpful. One tweet or retweet in a day, it's not too hard. Don't mind how many follower you have now, because it's not about how many people out there see or hear about MagicDuel, it's more about how consistent and militant we are in voicing and showing…

I need someone to write up a document including pictures of how you trade items using the standard inventory. In addition, this needs a secondary section explaining how some items cannot be traded, and how to trade items with ITC's. Again pictures must be present. Ideally this would be given to me in the format of text and images (as a separate PNG's) zipped up or similar. 10 Silver for completing this task.

I need someone to write up a document including pictures of how you trade creatures. (Please blank out your CTC's in the images) Ideally this would be given to me in the format of text and images (as a separate PNG's) zipped up or similar. 5 Silver for completing this task.
