finishing up my reformatting of the source from November/December following the guidelines that were posted.
some extra things I added:
* Any empty virtual declarations were kept to one line.
* Enums were split up into separate lines to promote uniformity across all headers. ( each header file had a different style for enums)
this is by no means absolutely perfect, i like it tho, and makes for some real good times with level up deck built with equips.
you will notice i added a level=number...to the level up creatures, this has no effect on players, this is just a small hint to the Ai as to when it should stop investing mana in that creature. the chances are a little over half that ai will want to level a creature, increased ever so slightly with each level up.
for equipment, the Ai will now want to equip its best Creature(determined by power+toughness+convertedcost+how many abilities it has) and will want to equip these "better" cards atleast 2 times before it is reduced. same system for prevent damage, it will want to save its "better creature" more then a 1/1 token.
for both tho i added slight bonuses...
to equip, there is a higher chance that the ai will want to target a white creature, with an extra bonus if the creature is a 1/1 and nontoken. this is to encourage Ai to equip in white weenie decks
in prevent, there is a slight bonus if the creature is a 1/1 and the blocker/blockee has a power of 1.
currently prevent damage treated this way is not coded for direct damage spell, sorry ! but for combat you will notice ai taking a stand and fighting back hard.
- Card Primitives system. Check Royal Assassin in RV, 10E, M10
- Please review, is sets/primitives a good directory? Should we rename MTGCard into "CardPrint"?
- Unfortunately for now it is not possible to "override" a Primitive. A card that links to a primitive but also defines new "values" will create its own data and ignore the data in the "linked" primitive for the time being. I hope to solve that at some point...
- Adding cycling. Check Akroma's vengeance in ONS for an example. Note that this uses autohand instead of auto, this is important! You can also use autograveyard.
- All "auto" activated abilities should work with autohand, so this is not only for cycling, but could be used for other abilities as well. For example autohand={3}:cycling can also be written autohand={3}{S}:Draw:1
- removed some unused code. Please review!
- Added protection from() auto keyword. It is still possible to use protection from [color] in abilities, but when it is not possible, please use protection from([target]) in auto=
* Metadata is currently only used in exactly one place: the set's "Pretty Name" is displayed when the set is first unlocked.
* WGuiImage now has a function to set scaling.
- removed useless "color=" lines
- Added color override for cards such as crimson kobolds (note: color should be after the "mana" line to avoid side effects)
* New interface.
* This breaks a lot of things. It is not feature-equivalent. It
probably doesn't compile under windows and doesn't work on PSP.
* Damage is not resolved any more. This will have to be fixed.
* Blockers can't be ordered any more. This will have to be fixed.
* A lot of new art is included.
- Replaced the BasicAbilities Array with a map. This reduces the size of MTGCard from >500 bytes to 392. Should be cool for people who have memory issues
- fixed a few bugs with the parser for subtypes
- fixed a bug for plague rats
- fixed a bug for P/T parser
- First release for the following sets: Mirrodin, Mirage, Lorwyn
