[/card]
was only charging you 1 sacrifice per upkeep.
added thisTargetComparison, this(cantargetcard(targetchooser))...its a thisdescriptor that compares if the card can be targeted by a target chooser...
- fixed some issues in zstream that prevented to use "getline" in zipped streams
- added a "pooled buffers" system to keep a cache of file descriptors. This is potentially dangerous though, but shaves several seconds of loading time on the PSP. If problems arise on other platforms I'll make it a compilation parameter
- gracefully fail when calling manacost information on a not properly initialized mana cost
first somehow accidentally line 3616 mtgability.cpp removefromgame was adding an observer instead of removing it, this explains "abilities sometimes acting strangely or not being removed"...I'm surprised it didn't create memleaks or extremely visible side-effects...
2nd fixed a bug where triggered abilities would share a menu with activated abilities of a card when ever you had enough mana floating to pay an activated ability before the trigger resolved.
adjust the way ai calculates if it should use cards like wrath of god, though it is still open to using it at a random chance, i noticed that the method we use might not be the best.
an ability with an eff of 1 for example actually has a 10% chance of being choosen....
lets say rng rolls 3402
when you % this it simply takes the 2 last numbers making this roll 2...meaning that unless we assign no "random chance to do blah" the actual chance of ai using a stupid ability is 10%...I'm leaving that logic how it is tho I "unfactored"(?) it to make it easier to track the numbers, also added a debug trace to help see how often we hit "lottery chance" ...
fixed a minor crash from multiability trying to fetch menutext when no abilities existed in the vector anymore.
this patch introduces a new subkeyword for "may " which is syntax pay(manacost)
auto=may pay({w}) untap
this is to allow the card group that was coded using the activated ability loophole i described at the start. it works the same way as it did with the loophole only it is actually something we want to happen instead of a flaw in the engine...you float the mana same as before and when the may line is triggered it will check if payment can be made with exist mana if so then it displays the menutext for the ability, if that ability is choosen it then charges you the mana directly before activation.
this patch also include flip( ability, tho not intended originally for this version, I had previously had it finished and was polishing it right before I noticed the bugs above. since this keyword is not intended to add cards for this version, I wont go into massive details about it at this time.
- Coded a small resource downloader in QML from the Qt frontend. It's completly useless for the moment and it's poorly integrated
- Various tweaking in the Qt project file for Symbian and Android
The old X11 version can still be built with make x11.
If this breaks some use cases, please tell me - it's hard to
predict. My minimal testing seems to indicate it works, and
make does the heavy lifting for us.
Updated the unsupported.txt file to reflect the 2 card afari added some days ago
Added some undergraded cards (crappy as not chosen discard)

- attempt at reducing loading times on the PSP: I merged a few graphics files together, removed some unused calls from the initialization functions, and moved some other ones to have a more lazy approach. The PSP version remains fairly slow in some parts (especially loading, but also entering the shop, or starting a new game), so I will try to reduce file access as much as possible in the days to come. Not a release blocker IMO though, but I4d sure love if it were faster.
- uppercased "Track1.mp3" to be in line with the actual filename. Most likely this had been broken forever on case-sensitive OSes
- I removed costly calls from the textscroller. I believe it wasn't very useful in its previous state. Now it's only "advertising" for unlockable stuff, which I think is ok (and allows to refresh it every time the menu is loaded)
- As a counterpart, added a "% complete" progress bar in the menu, something I wanted to add a while ago.
required libs:
* ZipArchive - Obj-C impl of zip
* asi-http-request : http request help to assist with asynchoronous downloading of files
* minizip : support for ZipArchive
*
Added default splash screen for iOS app. (using the Wagic background to keep it neutral to module)
TODO: refine handling for iPad splash screen
* add selection screen and input screen for location of downloadable content. (ie core files, image files, etc )
* add support to opt out of backing up to iCloud for core files. Right now iOS will automatically backup all files under Documents folder to iCloud. Consider only allowing player data to be backed up to iCloud. All graphics and other assets are considered volatile.
After months of research, card coding and testing, i proudly present you this high-end card package.
It contains 163 new cards! I never thought to find such a massive amount of codable cards on the current card-availability level Wagic has reached now.
Some cards look like they were coded in a much too complicated way, but believe me: There is no other way to make them work.
Talking about the card code, I have to thank Zethfox alot for coding the 'transforms((,newability...))" complex, which was very very useful. THANK YOU!
Added several tests to safe the code of the cards for future changes.
I think this is the last time i will be able to add such a huge number of new cards outside of the upcoming of a new set, we have reached the outer limits of what is doable with the current code. Let's hope there will be some new some time in the future, though i have my doubts there will be anything new in that section of Wagic for a long time.
Below, you will find the card list. Some really exciting cards are hitting the Wagic scene!
I need a break...
- Modified the testsuite and gameobserver to be able to replay all the testcases based on the actions logged during the first pass. This allows to test the action logging and replay used during undo. It's only activated in multithreaded mode and it does not work on Momir tests.
- Modified choice logging and replay to use menuId instead of ability index, as, for some obscur reasons related to Lord, those ability indexes may change.
- Fixed bug in nextphase logging wrongly generating click actions
- Added a "stack" zone to the click ability logging to be able to replay properly interrupt
- Fixed a wonderful bug mixing card names with zone names in the actions execution engine
- Added a "combatok" action logging/execution
- Added a "clone" virtual method to MTGCardInstance and Token to be able to clone correctly the right object type. Used that in MTGGameZones::removeCard
- Modified DuelLayers to not use a global MTGPhaseGame instance anymore
- Moved the reset of currentActionCard out of the ActionLayer render function : that fixes the remaing problematic tests in the multithreaded testsuite
- Added a method in ActionLayer converting a card ability into a menu index
- Used this new method in the game observer to log correctly AI ability actions
- Added a DumpAssert method in the game observer, it can be used to dump the game and assert in order to easy crash reproduction
- Cleaned up TargetList properties access
- Added an optimisation in GuiMana to not compute update code if the rendering is not used (multi-threaded mode)
- Added a deadlock detection in the test AI vs AI multithreaded mode
- Fixed minor bugs in test AI vs AI multithreaded mode
- Added a games/second counter in the test AI vs AI rendering
