I am a bit disappointed by how The Witcher III handled their TCG - Gwent - The game is fun and has good ideas, but even after I beat the full game, and did many side quests, I don't have enough creature cards to play any but the initial deck (1 out of 4 decks)
I can't find the domain, I know for a fact what email I registered it to but when I log in only my other domains show. Tried reset password and the email has yet to come. That was about 30 mis ago
It's funny, today I was working on a pretty advanced query to reconcile data from 22 database servers. And I feel a bit intimidated by some HTML/CSS right now lol.
@Phrancis seems like cardshifter.com is back under your control, that's good. However, you will need to change the DNS for it again. Either change DNS name servers to ns1.loopia.se and ns2.loopia.se or change the DNS pointer itself to a CNAME stats.zomis.net

@SimonAndréForsberg I'll definitely look into doing that as soon as I have a chance. What would it take for us to eventually just have everything tied to cardshifter.com instead of redirecting to your site?
@Phrancis depends on what machine it should run on. Either have me investigate into having Apache wrapped around the server, or run it on another machine.
You're probably right, but I wouldn't know either way
@SimonAndréForsberg Well, I don't want to put a bunch more work on your plate as you have a lot of that already. I think I might have a spare machine myself and decent internet connection
Depends on what you would prefer really, servers aren't something I'm very familiar with
One good thing if you do, perhaps we can put together documentation on how to replicate that. In general, I think we really should have instructions for servers, like how to start a public game server also, etc.
> We should have documentation on how a player/modder would go about setting up a game server. localhost servers are great for testing and dev, but their limited scope makes it difficult to test for game balance and such (let alone actually play the game with a mod, assuming it's under development and not "officially" supported in a release yet).
I'd be more than happy to make the documentation page/guide for setting up servers, if perhaps @Zomis can give the steps in a few bullet points.
I just don't know about security and port-forwarding. As in, is it safe to just start a server and setup port-forwarding, or should there be some security applications installed?
I do think it would be good to have a Cardshifter-"branded" guide, as simple and/or well-known as setting up these steps might be, I'd like our docs to be clear enough to where someone who knows nothing about servers (like myself and Jay1148, for instance) can set one up
@SirPython @Duga if it helps, just post it on the issue, with just a brief summary of what the link is for
@SirPython If you setup port forwading to a server, you are opening a door to that particular server for that particular port. It's not safe because it's open, but it's not unsafe too. The thing is I don't think there is a way to send packet that would break the server and do something bad to the host.
@SirPython As long as there's no application listening on the port, it's perfectly safe. If there's a Cardshifter server listening on the port, it is also safe (as there is no way to inject anything bad to the Cardshifter server)
> I just did a little reading on port-forwarding and it can be quite simple: all you need to do is open up your router's webpage (which is probably either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, find where port-forwarding is, and follow the instructions there for adding a new option for port-forwarding.
> - Download the Cardshifter server - Start the Cardshifter server - Setup port-forwarding for ports 4242 and 4243 (or whatever they are / will be) - Done!
Before, when creating the UseAbilityMessage, $scope.perform action would pass in $scope.targets. However, that is a problem because that is passing in all of the available targets to the server. So now, this function grabs the IDs of all the cards in $scope.selected, shoves them into an array, and then passes that array along in the message.
added handling for card actions in $scope.performAction
As mentioned before, some actions are performed by the card rather than the player. So now, in $scope.performAction, a conditional was set up to check if the thing that is supposed to perform the action is a player or a card.
Why? For an action performed by a card, the targets array is [0] and the ID is the card ID, and for an action performed by the player, the targets array is an array of all the cards that are targets of this action
fixed typo in if conditional of $scope.performAction
In the conditional that is checking what is performing the action (card or player), it was mixed up: the first condition was checking if the action was NOT a player, when it should have been checking if it WAS a player.
@skiwi Not exactly. AFAIK, actions can be played without error, as in, you can mulligan, play, and end your turn without the client breaking. However, there is currently no support for attacking the enemy player.
I'm going to do a little more testing and see if I run into any problems.
> The solution to this is likely in #60 where the fields are. It appears this issue was a naming issue, largely. Will test while updating the deck builder section and close this once confirmed it is working ok.
TTGTL. Reminder for me: check sent messages for Play because they could possibly be sending the wrong card. And, check available targets messages to make sure that the action's available targets aren't pooling into one to make it seem like all cards could technically be "played".
I have a card on battlefield, opponent has 3 cards on battlefield. I click "Attack". Now, do I select what card I want to attack with or do I select the card I want to attack on?
preferably, there should be a "Attack" action-button right next to the card I can attack with. (like it is in JavaFX)
No, it doesn't. It has one play button for each card that can be played (well, technically.... in that case you just click a card and you play it, there's not a "button" for that action, but still... you click on the card, not the action and then choose the card)
@SirPython All actions where the entity id is a card goes as a button / something on the card itself. The "Mulligan" and "End Turn" actions are associated with the player, not a card.
> For animations, logging of what is happening, or for anything else, it would be beneficial to add a `ActionPerformedMessage` that is sent to clients after an action has been fully performed by any player.
Should contain:
- action name - entity id that the action belongs to - performer entity id - targeted entity ids
$scope.startAction will now check to see if the action being performed in End Turn. If it is, it will immediately send the action request and move on with it's life, just like the FX client. However, if not, that conditional will skip and the function will continue to go along it's merry way.
> This is how I imagine performing actions should work, from a user point of view:
Let's say that you have the following actions available: (just as an example, some of these actions does not exist yet but may be added at any time in the future, whenever the server feels like it)
- Play Card A in hand - Play Card B in hand - Attack with Card C on battlefield - Scrap Card C on battlefield - Activate Hero Power: Deal 1 damage to any target - End Turn
@skiwi Not sure what Microsoft's VCS is called, but whatever it is I assume VS uses that. VS also integrates other things like Management Studio, and Office Suite, so you can put Excel, PowerPoint etc. files into version control, and update them directly from the Office apps
@SimonAndréForsberg Well there's always this Norse Cardset for Mythos that would be productive and enjoyable, without requiring too much mental effort :)
Creating my first Application, I am having a lot of trouble displaying data in my form.

The chat has grown to big for me to be the place it has been in the start. Not that it's bad or it has grown in something bad, just not a place I like to be anymore
@SimonAndréForsberg You missed that The 2nd Monitor is not fun anymore, there's some people around that (willing or unwillingly? I don't know) cause trouble
@SimonAndréForsberg Regarding #61, would you prefer: (a) each individual card that can be played automatically has a play button next to it (different than FX), or (b) once the "Play" button is pressed, all the buttons that can be played are shown?
@SirPython "Play" is an action that belongs to a card, so there should be one "Play"-"button" for each card (and JavaFX works more like A than like B. It's just that instead of actions, the card gets a yellow border)
@skiwi I mean, with the whole QPaysTaxes and Ethan-thing and chaos. i.e. not that long ago.
@SirPython No. Before. The yellow-border is instead of the "Play" button. Clicking a card with a yellow border will activate the Play-action for that card.

I'm quoting skiwi here since I find this is very important. I mostly play with friends online with a skype call or another program. Most of the time, I will mute the music of a game so that I can hear my friend. Keep this in mind when/if you add this feature to the game.
> Aside from the possibility of using [ChucK audio programming language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChucK) _(which at this time is undecided)_ here are some more client-side options and links.
> @Phrancis The ngAudio is cool, but it doesn't really allow for a dynamic change in the audio, unless just simple changes in dynamics and tempo are enough.
@SimonAndréForsberg Well, it's good that enough people were interested in this project and that this is the type of project that is easy to continue growing.
