When a creature is damaged and has critical life, PT turns to
red(critical life is 2 and below), if a card has a powered down status
like from -1/-1 counter, the PT turns to thistle, if powered up above 4,
the PT turns into yellow, default is white. legendary eldrazi pt is
violet. Token Indicator is T, and C for cards with copy abilities(so we
can differentiate them from originals), TC for both token and copy cat
cards.
This controls whether to update Power and Toughness if we are setting
base PT or not. If we are setting base PT update the CDA but it will not
be applied since we have an effect that sets PT to a default base. If
there are no effect that sets base PT, apply it on CDA using
current/updated PT. The buffs are not affected. Yeah...
This fixes the bug I introduced lst time. The damage was not taking into
account, but this time the damage reflects...
TODO/TOFOLLOW: update test and update all cards that uses CDA :)
CDA works by using "cdaactive" keyword on PT changes. Instead of
granting bonus, we modify the orig power and toughness since they are
dynamic PT. cdaactive are for cards like maro, tarmogoyf, etc. To
Follow/To Do: Additional Tests and other bug fix
added
"whenever a creature enters the battlefield you may pay {1}, if you do gain one life"
conditional may pay({cost}) effect
this version is a super type ability, and can only be used in certain combos.
to nest you will need to use it in its subtype pay[[{cost}]] effect
pay keyword can have sideeffects coded as follows
pay[[{1}]] life:1?life:-1
pay one mana and gain 1 life, if you dont then you lose one life. notice no space between the abilities and the question mark.
added castcard()
a method to cast a targeted card, this contains the following subkeywords which can be used in combinations
(normal)
(restricted)
(copied)
(noevent)
castcard(restricted copied noevent) for example will cast a card that is a copy or the spell without sending a cast event only when the spell is castable.
"normal" subkeyword cast the actual spell, not a copy.
extended the use of exiledeath to everyzone, any card going from any zone to graveyard is placed in exile if it has exiledeath.
limited swipe left to open hand only when hand is closed view.
"moveto(" can now be named.
i choose to use other cost instead of creating a brand new cost type.
otherrestriction determines if the card is the miracle for the turn.
[card]
name=Devastation Tide
auto=all(*[-land]) moveto(ownerhand)
other={1}{u} name(Miracle)
otherrestriction=miracle
text=Return all nonland permanents to their owners' hands. -- Miracle {1}{U} (You may cast this card for its miracle cost when you draw it if it's the first card you drew this turn.)
mana={3}{U}{U}
type=Sorcery
[/card]
added
cantbeblockerof(this)<--this = the card who owns the ability.
cantbeblockerof(targetchooser) <--the target cant block anything targetable by this targetchooser.
spin engine and similar will use cantbeblockerof(this).
others were done with a workaround, which i hope will be updated soon.
Fixes in GameObserver serialization/deserialization code
Fixes in JNetwork and JSocket on windows
Various code cleanup (currentGamePhase access in particular)
Updated GUI code to re-enable a basic network GUI
Activated threaded tests on Windows. It uses 4 threads by default.
auto=replacedraw choice damage:2
auto=replacedraw choice draw:2 noreplace
notice noreplace exempts the draw from sending a draw event. draw events and drawn events are seperate events.
added dredge and it's rules.
[card]
name=Dakmor Salvage
auto=tap
auto={t}:add{b}
dredge=dredge(2)
text=Dakmor Salvage enters the battlefield tapped. -- {T}: Add {B} to your mana pool. -- Dredge 2 (If you would draw a card, instead you may put exactly two cards from the top of your library into your graveyard. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand. Otherwise, draw a card.)
type=Land
[/card]
paid(blah)
auto=if paid(alternative) then damage:3 target(creature)
auto=if paid(alternative) then life:10 target(player)
auto=ifnot paid(alternative) then damage:3 controller
auto=ifnot paid(alternative) then life:4 opponent
it can be used any place a restriction can be used.
rearranged the constants for the payment type keywords to match the order we int the alternatePayment array on a card, added keywords for the remaining payment types,
"notpaid",
"paidmana",
the 2 above pretain to paying the real manacost of a card
it checks the mana={1} cost line and is not joined to the other types.
"kicker",
"alternative",
"buyback",
"flashback",
"retrace",
"facedown",
"suspended"
note: all test pass in this revision.
it requires an update to your mtg rules txt...
the coding is as follows
[card]
name=Arbor Elf
mana={g}
auto=soulbond 1/3
auto=soulbond {t}:add{g}
abilities=soulbond
type=Creature
subtype=Elf Druid
power=1
toughness=1
[/card]
auto=soulbond *any ability supported by wagic*
abilities=soulbond
the above arbor elf gives itself and its soulbond creature a 1/3 bonus and the ability to tap for green mana.
{x:black}
{x:color}
creating a snapshot of a card instance in garbage for stored cards, the issue with previous version was it was using base model value instead of what the storedcard was actually at the time it was in battlefield. example, animal boneyard test was coming up 1 toughness short becuase the creature storedcard pointed to was sent to graveyard for the sacrifice.
changed myStored TargetChooser to use storedSourceCard instead, as this is supposed to point to the actual card and not a snapshot.
counter{}
so you can get a count of a certain counter on a card
the next consist of parts using the same targetchooser method as type:
power:
toughness:
convertedcost:
followed by ---
highest:
lowest:
followed by targetchooser
blah:mybattlefield
so if i want highest converted cost of creatures i control..
convertedcost:highest:creature:mybattlefield
also added an internal ability to reuse and display flying text with a string passed to it.
which tells the ai not to use the targetible cards as attackers, this can be card names, and CD modes.
modified the way ai handles multikicker. it will not be casting 1/1 joragas anymore :D
made WParsedInt ignore "+" signs....
added a new affinity ability...autohand=affinity(creature[vampire]|mygraveyard) ....
this is essentially affinity for creatures in your grave.
added supkeyword to clone clone addtype(zombie)....it adds the type listed to the cards types on clone...
reparse PT bonus on resolve.
reworked bushido, it should now work correctly...aside from that it now excepts word variables...fumiko is now bushido(type:creature[attacking]:battlefield/type:creature[attacking]:battlefield)
added a keyword to access acontrolsteal..the keyword is "steal"
auto=ueot steal target(creature)
reworked persist to handle undying..added the new counter handling rules intruduced by wotc in ISD
added a vector cardsAbilities to mtgcardinstance...this keeps the abilities added to the game for a card to use stored where we can easly alter or remove them.
added an automatic increase to geteff return if the ability is a putinplay ability.
finished coding support for flip and double sided cards, though viewing the "other side" is still not possible yet.
the ability follows the mtg rules.
the ability syntax is flip(card name)...a card can flip into any other card by name...even flip into itself.
added a "canPay() call for Ninja cost...to prevent it from coming up in a menu unless you're in blockers....
added 3 new restriction types that work very similar to type(
thisturn(tc)~morethan~2
lastturn(tc)~lessthan~thisturn(tc)
compare(wordvarible)~equalto~compare(wordvarible)
these are pretty self explanitory.
moved "&&" ability parsing below "this(" allowing "this(" to grant abilities now which contain &&...enclave egologist bug is fixed by this.
fixed an issue with combatspirit link for some reason the way i was doing the bool was not always working.
took care of the todo for AProtectionFrom...you can now give a protection from(blah) in a instant or ueot ability.
added altho very limited right now a "targetedplayer" tc word. i hope to increase this with time.
as always my sidekick doc already has some cards coded for this and test will follow the addition of the cards.
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.
- 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
- Reworked the testsuite to be able to work multithreaded. This is deactivated by default everywhere except in QT_CONFIG as one testcase still refuses to pass in multithreaded mode. On my 4 cores linux desktop, the 650 tests passes now in 4 seconds (1 fails).
- Replaced usage of CardSelectorSingleton by a card selector per game observer.
- Modified the resource manager to be optionnal and per game observer instance instead of being a singleton. Two reasons here : threading AND Open Gl access. I only updated the crashing parts called from the game observer, so most of the code is still using the single instance. Beware of copy-paste concerning resources ...
- Cleaned up the game observer constructors
- Fixed several problems in action logging code while testing proliferate decks
- Cleaned up Threading implementation based on QThread
- removed every references to the gameobserver singleton. This object can now be instantiated several times as it's needed for minmax. To be able to do that, I mostly added a reference to a gameobserver from any targetable object (cards, players, spells) and abilities.
what this does currently is remove a counter of the type counterstring and when the ability is destroyed it puts the counter back for us.
meant for weapons used as follows.
auto=teach(creature) countertrack(0/0,1,hand)
when the creature is equipped with this weapon it will remove a hand counter from the creature, when you remove the weapon, or the weapon is destroyed or whatever...it will put a hand counter back on the creature.
added dualwielding thisdescriptor...
auto=this(dualwielding) 2/2
auto=this(dualwielding) firststrike
enabled "restriction{" on phasebased triggers @next and @each...
i will work more on countertrack to extend it to domains if it currently isnt possible to use it in this case(haven't tested it on domains)....
added abilities:
proliferate
ProliferateChooser:new targetchooser for cards with counter and poison counters "proliferation".
MenuAbility:new internal ability to create custom menus of abilities which can be activated in sequence one after another.
multikicker, syntax kicker=multi{b}
works with variable word "kicked", the amount of times it was kicked.
target=<number>tc,target=<upto:>tc,target=<anyamount>tc,target(<number>tc),target(<upto:>tc),target(<anynumber>tc);
multitarget is now supported with the exception of "devided any way you choose" which can not be supported becuase we allow detoggling of targeted cards with a "second" click....so you can not click the same card 2 times to add it to the targets list twice for example.
this is minor, as the bulk of multitarget is not "devided"
removed 's' parsing for multitarget, added a limit of 1000 to "unlimited" for easier handling; we currently can't handle activation of an ability on a 1000 cards very well on any platform(infact i don't suggest it)
Countershroud(counterstring), this MTGAbility allows you to denote that a card can not have counters of the type "counterstring" put on it.
"any" is for no counters allowed at all. this is a replacement effect. cards state that they can still be the targets of counter effects, however on resolve nothing is placed on them instead.
@counteradded(counterstring) from(target):,@counterremoved(counterstring) from(target):: these are triggers for cards which state "whenever you add a counter of "counterstring" to "target"; added counterEvents struct;
other changes:
added support for ai handling of multitargeted spells.
changed a few of delete( into SAFE_DELETE(, safed up a couple areas where they did not seem safe to me;
added better handling of menus presented to ai, it will try to select the best based on eff returns.
added varible lastactioncontroller for ai use, it keeps it truely from ever tripping over itself and brings ai more inline with MTG rules.
converted TC into a protected member.
added "abilitybelongsto" string to tc, and set "owner" of the tc. a tc should never belong to "no one" it should always have a owner.
abilitybelongs to string is solely for easier debugging, i found it was a pain to never know what ability created a tc while i coded multitarget. the owner of the tc is the only one that should be using it, if an ability needs to declare the opponent as the owner (choose discard which is currently unsupported for example) this will allow us to better handle that situation by setting the tc owner in the ability which called it.
rewrote the logic of "checkonly" in ai choose targets, the only time it is "checkonly" is when it is trying to see if it had a target for a spell before it cast it, i now set this in the actual function call instead, the old method was far to error prone.
wrote logic for ai checking of menu objects presented to it,
ai will now make better choices when a menu is presented to it based on what it already knows. this changes it from it's old method of "just click the first option".
taught ai how to use multi-mana producers such as birds and duel lands by adding a method for it to find it's mana for a payment. it can effectively use cards like birds of paradise and sol ring(without locking up). It's primary method of pMana searching was maintain for performance(no need to deep search if we have it in pMana).
added a vector to actionlayer to store mana abilities for pMana. this provides us with a dramatic improvement when mana lords are present by reducing the amount of objects that need checking when ai checks pMana.
with 80 mana objects and a ton of lords one instance i checked went from 8000ish checks down to 80<===big difference.
added "tapped" green coloring(sorry i missed that!)...added red coloring to current actionLayers current action card (usually the source).
changed "type(" restrictions second amount from atoi into wparsedint for more flexiable coding.
add "&" parsing to CD targetchooser, removed "iscolorandcolor" variables and functions becuase they were a hack the real fix was this.
cretaure[dragon&black&blue] a creature that is a dragon, and black and also blue.
changed some of the ai computeactions and
removed unneeded gaurds in ai chooseblockers, they did more harm then good.
-- zipFS has several limitations...
--- in a general way, seekg doesn't work... so getting a file's size needs to be done through JFileSystem.
--- getLine on files open with zipFS doesn't work so great. Not sure if it is a normal issue because files are open in binary or not... JFileSystem therefore offers a "readIntoString" function that needs to be used instead of the usual "getline" technique. However getLine can then be used on a stream connected to the string.
-- tested on Windows and PSP, I also made sure android still works, but haven't tested zip support on Android.
-- I tried to maintain backwards compatibility, but this might break on some platforms, if I broke some platforms and you can't find a way to fix them, please contact me and we'll figure something out
-- This removes wagic::ifstream. I didn't reimplement the securities that were involved in this, apologies for that. Might be useful to reimplement such securities in JFileSystem
-- I haven't tested options/profiles in a deep way, it is possible I broke that.
- rewrote some code dealing with text formatting for a card when rendering in text mode. I could swear my code has been reverted. If somebody has good reason to believe we should re-process the string formatting on every frame, please let me now. I believe my change can help rendering speed of text mode a lot.
- counters change to vector instead of array
-- I removed the string comparison, which was expensive (the test is not necessary anymore, since it was "shielding" us from fake types (names), which are not creature subtypes, and therefore do not go through). I also moved one function call outside of the loop, just in case that wasn't optimized by the compiler.
- Removed unused Subtypes.cpp function (I don't really want people to use it, it can be quite expensive if used incorrectly)
- moved a test for issue 501 that has been fixed a while ago (we forgot to add the test to the test suite)
2nd, removed a peice of code which was originally added i imagine before list mentioner was created which added cards whos names ended in "s" to the subtypes list, this is completely unrelated to the "s" charector added to targetchooser. this was actually a really nasty hack....
previous subtypes list contained 1200 variables...the new one after this removel is about 237ish....
this does not impact foreach, or any targetchoosers ability to target a card by name, targetchooser is coded to add card names to the subtypes list as it needs them, so using foreach(arbor elf) will add this to subtypes list for targeting purposes, in the future we might want to have this kind of check done and handled outside of the subtypes list, adding card names to that list for the purpose of targeting is just dirty.
this fixes a ugly lag spike introduced with the change to subtypes...for now...we need to consider a better way to sort these in the future to avoid this returning as subtypeslist gets bigger.
- Updated changeling and transforms to only get creature types (as initially intended by the code), removed hardcoded list of "types to avoid"
The test suite passes
