Scripts for Gccg

Here are a number of scripts for Gccg, the Generic Collectible Card Game. Some of the scripts are specific to Magic: The Gathering, while others work with any Gccg game. Many of the scripts are my own creation, while some come from others (with or without modifications by me).

To install these scripts, copy them into the gccg/scripts/ directory (to make them available to all games) or the gccg/scripts/Mtg directory (to make them available to Magic: the Gathering only). You will then need to either restart Gccg, or use the command /eval execute("name of script") to load the script without restarting.

To keep from overloading the server, those commands that access the game server in a loop (/buycards, /givecards, /sellextras, and /undersell) pause for one second after every group of five cards. This may make the scripts somewhat slower than earlier versions, but it avoids slowing down the server for everybody.

The scripts are written in wigy's little language, gccg-script. Documentation for gccg-script (it's pretty weird!) may be found in section 5 of the gccg reference manual

Scripts by Neil Moore:

• registerplayset.diff: Patch to enable rewards for registering a full playset of a cardset (e.g. 4x of each card in Magic). Includes both meta-server and client patches.
• Fetch.command: Updated version of Luka's /fetch command to find a card from your library. This improved version can search for multiple-word card names; and if there is an exact match, fetches only a single card. Soon to be part of the gccg distribution.
• Buyall.command: Buy all cards on the current page.
• alias.include: Define command aliases.
• Buyall.command: Buy all cards on the current page.
• Islegal.command: Check the current deck's legality.
• Manacurve.command: Analyze a deck's mana curve (Mtg only).
• Sellextras.command: Sell extra cards.
• Setstats.command: Per-set card statistics. Currently implements the commands /needed, /needed4, /needcash, and /needcash4. The first two count the number of cards needed to complete a given set (or 4x the set); the last two give the amount of money it would cost to complete the given set (or 4x the set).
• Toplay.command: Bring cards from out-of-play to various zones.
• Undersell.command: Sell cards at the lowest price. Now with protection against predatory undercutting.
• Load.command: Load a saved display (filter + sort) from the command line.
• Wantall.command: Mark all cards on the current page as wanted.
• amclick.key: Use alt-middle-click to paste canonical card names (including the set when necessary) in a format useful for /givecards. Requires the patch amclick.diff (and a recompile) to recognize alt-middle-click.
• Saverd.command: Deal with registered (server-side) decks. /saverd can register any number of decks, and /giverd can give a copy to another player.

Scripts by Michael Slone:

• Buy.command: Buy cards.
• Give.command: Give cards to others.
• Mulligan.command: Perform Paris mulligan (mostly Mtg-specific, theoretically applicable to other games). Now shipped as part of gccg.
