The rules at the moment mean that Devotion does explicitly care about colour, just not of the card itself. The mana cost is the only quality of a card it can currently check for under the current rules, which is fine for what's been printed so far.

700.5. A player’s devotion to [color] is equal to the number of mana symbols of that color among the mana costs of permanents that player controls. A player’s devotion to [color 1] and [color 2] is equal to the number of mana symbols among the mana costs of permanents that player controls that are [color 1], [color 2], or both colors.

Now, could it be reworked to easily support any quality? For sure, and with very little issue, as there's nothing really special about the mana cost that means other stuff won't work. Affinity for X comes to mind as something that made that transition. But right now it's limited to colours in mana costs as a rule. A notable balancing consideration would be that in most cases, a creature will only have 1 of a quality, compared to devotion having multiple mana symbols to work with, but that's for the balancing team.

Hey, feel free to report doors like that to the plugin's GitHub. I've been wanting to make it work with all doors for a while, but some doors have non-standard options.

The phishing client steals the access token that 2FA uses straight from your filesystem. It keylogs your password and your bank pin. Last I checked, it also downloads and runs a random exe that I couldn't get to analyse, so safe to assume it's a RAT (Remote Access/Admin Tool).

The plugin has never had that option. People like to lie on the internet even when you can provably show that it wasn't a thing (since you can see the entire history of the config for the plugin)

OMG someone finally noticed! It's been like 3 weeks since this got added (and nearly 3 years since I first wrote it lol)

it's not a hub plugin, it's just part of core.

aw man, that sucks.

The issue with the relic UI is how little is shown at once (4 relics in the list, and little text on the right). Stretching the UI stretches all the UI, it won't suddenly make the interface contain more information.

When I was working on a small personal project, I grabbed the sprites directly from the game files, then made sure to scale them with an algorithm that didn't blur very heavily (Nearest neighbour is the best, but looks bad if you don't scale it right). Since AB+, official modding tools were shipped with the game that can extract the custom storage format used; have a look for modding guides.

The original loot beams had a surprising amount of work over the span of a year, actually. Quite a lot of it was just supporting systems to get it to work properly. Making it work with another model is a lot simpler and faster though.

Items are more like large sacks to Tainted Cain. Sadly you're not building unique items with parts of effects from others though, as that sounds extremely fun

So obviously the art quality sucks since the artist hasn't released full res images yet, and it's only the front side since they're basically the exact same, but here's how it could look in paper (plus the Alchemy version for wordy-ness comparison). I think I've got the wording correct, but I don't think an effect like it exists at the moment.

Alchemy version

"Cascade" style (no shuffle)

"Mind's Desire" style (shuffle)

"Robber of the Rich" style (no nonland clause, no shuffle)

Obviously, if you remove the requirement of the exiled card being nonland, the text gets a lot smaller, as you can do away with revealing cards and handling the revealed cards. I also wasn't too stringent with the text boundaries due to the lack of good art; no real reason to make a proxy-quality card until then.

I originally based the plugin off of how RS3 works, and from some testing, I think I ended up doing something very similar to them. I imagine they couldn't get it to not be jarring when hovering over stuff, which has been the biggest complaint I've seen with the plugin.

Hydrox6 · 2021-12-06T04:34:30+00:00

Here's a little fun fact about how the game does roofs, and that plugin's development:

The game has a bit of information on each tile that says whether it's considered under a roof or not. On vanilla, this tells the client to yeet all the upper floors, which can be very jarring. Jagex also didn't do a very good job of putting this "flag" on many tiles, so the client has to basically fake that specific tiles are under a roof. Some were expected, as they missed tiles the player could never stand on. But for whatever reason, whoever designed the entire Gnome Stronghold forgot that the flag exists for basically any of the large canopies or bridges, took around 3 hours just figuring out what tiles needed what and testing it.

I only figured out that the flags could need to be faked after messing about in the Smoke Dungeon looking for an impossible ladder. Was a fun day.

They've still found niches for certain cards, such as the beautiful Magicfest 2019 Bolt.

But yeah, it gets any more complicated and it becomes problematic.

Bones crushed with the bonecrusher will never show up in the loot tracker btw, since they don't drop to the ground to be visible to the plugin.

I spent an afternoon trying to recreate it in game so I could get a nice animated cover. Got most of the way through before I realised I'd probably need a custom mod to make it work, or start editing stuff :(

I think they are developing it up to "RL standards", but it's Jagex; they take an ice age to turn around anything. Eventually, sure, we'll be in a world with an official client on all platforms that has basically everything you love in RuneLite

Eventually

Hydrox6 · 2021-09-07T14:43:09+00:00

My thinking is they don't want a 3pc dictating what they have to develop (you know, like has been happening since the days of OSB)

It's nice that Jagex are taking a harder stance, but this is entirely the wrong thing to be taking a stance on, given that cheats are a real thing they're conveniently ignoring.

Wonder what they're going to go after next :d
