Plugins & Plugin Creation Forum / Re: Eval "among others"
September 17, 2025, 10:20:15 AM
I've been unable to discover additional available criteria. Notably, there doesn't appear to be a functioning ISLESSTHAN, and I haven't even been able to get ISGREATERTHAN to work.

There are two main ways I know of to handle cases like this, where multiple card slots in the pack each have options. One would be to add a card data column named something like CardSlot. All your uncommons would list "3"; all your rares would list "3 4"; and all your ultras would list "4"; that way you could specify a crit like "CardSlot CONTAINS 3" and be guaranteed to get either an uncommon or a rare.

One limitation of this is that you can't alter the probabilities. If your set has, say, 80 uncommons and 20 rares, you'll always have an 80% chance of getting an uncommon for slot 3.

The other way to handle this is to use what Lackey calls Chances, each of which has a certain percentage of appearing, and includes whatever cards it should provide. The complicating factor is that Lackey only understands chances on the level of the entire pack, not for individual card slots. So in your case, the pack would have four total chances:
  • (2 commons and) 1 uncommon, 1 rare
  • (2 commons and) 1 uncommon, 1 ultra
  • (2 commons and) 2 rares
  • (2 commons and) 1 rare, 1 ultra

This way you could specify whatever probabilities you want for each of the for options (assuming you make them add up to 100%).

Calculating from the probabilities you want for each slot to the probabilities you ultimately need to specify at the top level can get onerous, especially if you've got multiple slots with multiple options. If you've ever tinkered with Python, you might find this tool I made useful:

I could probably stand to make an updated, improved version of that, now that I look at it...

@BADxWOLF, sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure why Edge of Eternities would be doing that, I'll have to look into it.

Some packs are "missing" because not all sets care available in draft boosters. Commander sets (aside from Commander Masters) usually come from Wizards of the Coast as preconstructed decks; as far as I know, there's no such thing as a Bloomburrow Commander booster pack.

(That said, I still haven't updated more recent sets with the new layout of draft boosters... they keep making the options more complicated.)

...Holy cow, did I forget to press enter or something? I added Final Fantasy a month ago, and I could've sworn I posted the update here. Better late than never:

Update 6/03/25

Sets with cards added

I still haven't gotten around to adding the alternate / full-art prints from Final Fantasy, or the Final Fantasy Through the Ages set of Final-Fantasy-reskinned reprints... I should do that.

But yes, I still keep this updated, and will be adding Edge of Eternities.

@Drew, the problem is a "quarantine" attribute that Apple applies to newly downloaded files and folders. I didn't actually realize unzipping on the command line avoids applying it at all, that's intriguing.

I ran afoul of this myself recently, despite knowing about it, because I forgot that removing it from a folder doesn't automatically remove it from everything *in* the folder (and because the error message has apparently gotten more cryptic than it used to be).

To see if a file or folder is currently quarantined, you can do this from command line:
xattr -l path/to/file/
You can remove it with the -d flag, and the -r flag applies it recursively to everything in a folder:

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /path/to/Lackey/Folder

Sets with Cards Added

Errata
  • Wizards has issued errata on many thousands of cards. Instead of their name, non-legendary cards now use "this creature", "this artifact", etc. to refer to themselves in their rules text. Tokens (even legendary ones) use "this token".
  • Just like the name of Unquenchable Fury eventually got used for a real card, the same thing has happened to Pick Your Poison from Mystery Booster. I've dealt with it the same way: its name in the plugin is now "Pick Your Poison (Playtest)".

Scripting
  • A number of cards that create  tokens upon entering were not set to execute their scripts automatically, and have been fixed.
  • Indominus Rex now has scripts to generate all its possible counters.
  • The offspring keyword can only make one token, but its scripts were set up like X abilities, with options for 1, 5, and 10. This has been fixed.

Tokens
#7
Oh hey, I didn't even think about Arena. I should see if I can get a decent-quality image of the art from those.
#8
It already does; she has a right-click script to spawn it, and I used Simon Dominic's art from Glimmberbell for it.

   

Ozox, Clattering King also has a custom Jumblebones token, using Helge C. Balzer's art from Wretched Bonemass; and Psemilla, Meletian Poet has a Nymph token using Magali Villeneuve's art from Alseid of Life's Bounty.

   

   


None of these tokens have received actual printings from WOTC yet.

Sigh... if it's not thing it's another! Re-uploaded J25 images.

And I think I got all the missing images, turtlelemon. Lemme know if not 👍

Huh, I'm not sure why, but I'll re-upload the images for those sets.
Quote from: turtlelemon on January 31, 2025, 10:05:54 PMSecond, I don't think you ever added FDN Jumpstart. I know it's a huge set, but according to the wiki, there's 56 new cards. Maybe just those?
Dagnabbit, I completely missed that one. Plenty of reprints with new art, too, but it's odd that enchantments don't have the "new" (for non-creatures) enchantment frame, like in Foundations itself.
Quote from: turtlelemon on January 31, 2025, 10:05:54 PMThird, the one I think nothing can be done. The up button on my laptop keyboard stopped working. Which is mostly fine, I just use the one in the right side number area. But for some reason Lackey refuses to recognize those buttons. Is there anything I'm missing that will let me change that? If not, ages ago on a different computer, I did need to use this program called Key Tweak after my 6 y and h buttons stopped working, so I can prob find a way to make it work. Also, when looking thru cards, I just always start at the top now and go down.
Yeah... sorry, I don't know what to do about that, other than a key remapper like you suggest. You could try mapping the numpad arrow to act like the other arrow.

Yeah, unfortunately there's no way to do that in Lackey. You could try using notes, or perhaps visually tying a color of counter to each direction?

Another janky idea might be to pick a corner of the card that will indicate direction. Then you've got four out of your available six directions covered, so only the other two would need a workaround.

Obviously none of these is nearly as straightforward or elegant as what you could easily do with physical cards, but oftentimes with Lackey we have to find creative workarounds.
