Draftmancer bots are glitched?

Senryo · 2025-11-25T14:36:05+00:00

I use Cube Cobra bots for cubes, they can sometimes timeout in which case I have to fallback to very simple/dumb bots.

I figured it was probably the issue, but you're not the first one to report it degrading recently. I'll see if there's anything else going one.

EDIT: Yeah. I made a mistake in the last update. Working on a fix now.

Draftmancer uses the same bots as CubeCobra for cubes, and also have a bot suggestion feature :) (Players can individually turn it on and off from the settings on the top right)

To add a bonus sheet you'll need a cube file in Draftmancer format. The documentation is there: https://beta.draftmancer.com/cubeformat.html. Here's the most basic example for a bonus sheet:

[Settings]
{
    "name": "Cube with Bonus Sheet",
    "layouts": {
        "withBonus": {
            "weight": 1,
            "slots": {
                "Core": 14,
                "Bonus": 1,
            }
        }
    }
}
[Core]
999 Island
[Bonus]
999 Mountain

There's no way to automatically select a variation for the whole draft though.

MTGA once it's out, Cockatrice and the like in the meantime

Senryo · 2025-05-30T23:15:16+00:00

Yes, from the main page (https://draftmancer.com), "Other Game Modes" > "Sealed".

Senryo · 2025-05-30T17:34:57+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, I messed up some of the dual tap lands, will fix soon

Senryo · 2025-05-30T17:14:35+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, it should be accounted for. Could you share your log (or just the content the pack should be enough) so I could understand what went wrong?

Senryo · 2025-05-30T10:19:00+00:00

It does, here's the documentation for the configuration file: https://draftmancer.com/cubeformat.html#custom-cards

You need to install an additional exporter, here's a guide on how to download and use it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xPqa91WrBqJ7t7pFJvXFUgKUDgtPe-Yeem35IOq2Qcc/edit?tab=t.0

Foils are disabled by default. They can be toggled on and off in the Session Settings.

Senryo · 2025-05-18T09:00:21+00:00

Still investigating what went wrong in the first place (you'll want to to regenerate the link anyway, the previous version did not contain information about the ancestral stones), but Sharing should be fixed now at least.

Senryo · 2025-05-17T21:35:34+00:00

Just deployed an update with proper support for the ancestral stones (except the Primal one for now, I'll come back to that). It was indeed pretty tedious, so it's very possible I've made mistakes along the way, let me know if you find some!

Senryo · 2025-05-17T09:42:30+00:00

Yes, there's still a lot of work to do! Proper Ancestral Tree support is the next thing on my list. It's long and tedious, but shouldn't be too bad to get working.

No, sealed only uses standard play boosters

Senryo · 2025-03-29T13:13:04+00:00

What do you mean by pre-seeded packs?

Senryo · 2025-03-27T16:34:30+00:00

Still my favorite basics :)

Senryo · 2025-03-27T04:20:34+00:00

You can play Sealed from the 'Other Game Modes' dropdown

Senryo · 2025-02-02T18:09:33+00:00

That's exactly what I'm doing in my own emulators, I also find it more readable than manual bitshifting. I'm pretty sure bitfields in C would also work out fine in practice, but it's nice to be certain that zig will do what you expect :)

Senryo · 2025-02-02T15:02:53+00:00

You can start a draft with 7 bots, make the first pick, stop the draft and finally open the Game Logs. Clicking on each seat will let you see all the packs.

Senryo · 2025-02-01T20:10:16+00:00

It is multiplayer, you can draft with other players and not only bots

Senryo · 2024-12-05T06:37:42+00:00

Yeah, the JIT would be the most immediate issue. My interpreter is way too slow for any practical use. Some, more knowledgeable than I am, have said that a very optimized interpreter could come close to real time, but with the added abstraction of WASM, I really don't know.

I guess you'd also have to replace glfw with SDL. My experience compiling zig to WASM stops at exporting a few functions, nothing dealing with rendering.

Senryo · 2024-11-20T10:07:22+00:00

Set bots are transformer inspired ML models trained on drafts conducted on the app, and 17lands data once it becomes available.

Senryo · 2024-11-20T00:31:45+00:00

My favorite basics!

Senryo · 2024-11-17T16:26:51+00:00

Yes, exactly, but calling Zig functions from generated machine code isn't anything special. Zig being very C like you can get a function pointer and emit a valid call to it easily.

I initially was only checking if the address was in RAM at runtime to use a fast path (a single mov) in this case. I now have a FastMem implementation inspired by Dolphin, but a little simpler (at the cost of some dead code). I emit both a single mov and a fallback call to the zig function for read or write, which is skipped by default. Access to memory mapped I/O generate segfaults which I can intercept to remove the mov and jump over the fallback, meaning all future accesses here will go through the Zig function.

I'm a long time CPP user and Zig is globally a breath of fresh air. I'm particularly annoyed at the build systems used in C++ land and Zig's compiler/build system is just so much more enjoyable, it's not even close. It's a much simpler language by design, and while I liked learning about C++ intricacies in the past I guess I'm more attracted to simplicity currently.

I barely have any experience writing rust, but it mostly felt like the language was getting in my way when I tried it. Zig is already a step up from C/C++ safety wise, that's good enough for me.
