NAME: <Shadow Insect> typo
DESCRIPTION: <Shadow Insects> ability <Steadfast> misses a space or enter.
REPRODUCIBILITY: Yes, both live and test server.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: None.

I think the searchbar in the inventory (forge) could use some upgreads for more and more specific searches instead of the current Options searching by:

- Name
- Colour 
- Tier
- Type
- Rarity

I'd suggest something I've seen implemented in Hearthstone and Path of Exile. Instead (or in addition) of the rather clunky select/deselect options we have right now, I'd like to search counters, unit size or even attack values in the searchbar (a.e.). To search for these keyword-terms the player would have to put "unitsize:M" aka "keyword:value" into the searchbar. It could maybe also be used with > and < for hp.
Things I'd really like to see are (with keyword suggestion):
- unit size - unitsize
- Bonus Damage against * unit - counter
- Keyword search - siege / swift / slow / steadfast / flying (?) / agility etc. 
- Energy cost - cost
- Attack value - attack
- Hit Points - hp
What are your opinions on this?

If you ever wanted to open battleforge model to examine or change it so this tutorial is for you. With the help of k4rr0t I figured out how to get BF models opened. And here is tutorial for that.
Step 1 - unpacking .pak files.
They are located in <BattleForge\base\pak> folder. To unpack them you will need to download QuickBMS program at that link: QuickBMS
Then you will need script for QuickBMS: Battleforge Script
After launchng QuickBMS it will ask for script (battleforge.bms) that you must choose. Then select your .pak files (units are stored in bf1_gfx_units_skel_*.pak). You can select all .pak files you need at once.
When your .pak files are selected choose folder where you want extracted files to appear.
If you did everthing right you will have .drs (models), .dds (textures) and .ska (animations).
 
Step 2 - looking into files.
To examine models you will need LightSong program that you can get at moddb: LightSong 0.4
After install get special .exe to use with battleforge and put in the same folder you installed 0.4 version: LightSong 0.5
As LightSong.v0.5.exe is ready to use launch it and open .drs model that you need. Sadly some models with a lot of details can't be opened.
Using right click on model mesh allows to use other .dds texture.
Model can be exported as .obj or .smd in Tools menu If you have some 3d software like Maya or Milkshape or Blender.
Step 3 (Optional) - make custom textures and/or models and make Battleforge great again.

Hello fellow Skylords,
Check out the new awesome map Rise of a Demon available in the community map section! The map and scripts have been created by "Emmaerzeh" and "LEBOVIN". 
Description:
It is a 1 player PvE map set on a bandit island. The player takes control of a demon which gains progressively more abilities over time. Defeat all enemies on the map to win the match. We recommend enabling subtitles in the options menu before the game.
Card Restrictions:
On Expert difficulty, the card Shadow Phoenix is not allowed. Using it results in a default loss.
Competition:
To further promote the map, it will continue the tradition of community challenges.
Competition period: 01 July 2020 – 18 July 2020 Competition is over!
Prizes will be given out on 19 July 2020

Prizes:
Fastest 1 player run:              Harvester Promo Second fastest 1 player run:   Harvester Third fastest 1 player run:      Batariel (Red Affinity) + 1 Booster Besides this, everybody else to complete the map in less than 20 minutes (and hands in the replay as proof) will receive a Booster Pack as well. Voluntary donations during the competition might increase the prize pool even further.

Additional Rules:
The competition uses the map version "PvE_Rise_of_a_Demon.pak", uploaded in-game. The map has to be played on Expert Difficulty. The top 3 replays will later be published and attached to this post and might be uploaded to YouTube with explanatory commentary. Play on the main server, or the replay might be corrupted.
Participation Guidelines:
To participate, you may not violate any of the rules above.  Make your final valid replay (file format is .pmv) available to us via Discord before 19 July 2020 UTC+1 (Emmaerzeh#0240 or LEBOVIM#4557). You can also find us on the official Skylords Reborn Discord Server. You can update your replay submission during the time of the competition any number of times. Known Bugs:
Replays of community maps sometimes do not show up in the game Replay viewing selection. This issue has been reported to the developers and will soon be fixed. Until then a workaround is to open another lobby of a Community Map first and then go to the Replay viewing selection again. Alternatively, restart the game. If the replay there shows the gear as an indicator of being broken or outdated, try again later and make sure you have the original map file "PvE_Rise_of_a_Demon.pak" file in your C:\Users\<username>\Documents\BattleForge\map folder. (Auto)saved replays can be found alongside the same path in the folder […]\replays. Renaming them can help as well. If you try to play the community map whilst ur game is set to French or Russian and nothing happens at the beginning of the game, delete the map in your map folder and download it again. If it still does not work contact us. If you find any other bugs, report them to us via Discord. Final Ranking:
These are the best currently submitted speedrun times. To foster competition early on it is more fun if you tell your best time right away and do not wait until the last second. Of course, both ways are allowed.

Do you have an answer to his question? Or just insults?

I fixed this, this change will be rolled out on the test server soon.
