2nd bug fix,
commented out a peice of code that compared if power and toughness would be cancelled out by a new counter. exsample:
1/1 is cancelled by -1/-1...this is actually extremely incorrect,
if you "put a 1/1 on a creature"
then you "put a -1/-1" on the same one. it does NOT remove the 1/1 as per MTG rules. the counters all all treated as NEW objects on a card. so a creature that had both those abilities used on it should have BOTH a 1/1 and a -1/-1 counter.
commenting out the section of code corrected this probelm.
modular creature, phantom creatures,sunburst and many many more will now correctly be able to use their counters even if they recieved "cancelling" Counters
last was just an improvement, as i got overly frustraited tonight while fighting with a deck that slaps many different types of counters on cards, i was having a very hard time telling what exactly i was about to put on a creature.
so what i did to correct this is create a much better menuText return on aacounter class.
PLEASE let me know if i missed a case where a counter is not showing correct text.
The problem I found was specific to ManaProducer. I added an additional check when calling isReactingToClick(), if the cost has an extra cost, check if it can be paid. For this to work though, I had to change things around a little - there was a hack in the parsing code for ManaProducer abilities, where the cost wasn't being passed into the constructor. To compensate, the extra cost was being set during reactToClick, but this is too late, as isReactingToClick is called first. Now, where the hack occurs, after we construct the ManaProducer, if there's a cost, make sure we set the extra cost action immediately.
This seems to work well for the Vivid Creek card case: once the counters are tapped out, the menu system doesn't add the extra card abilities anymore, and you simply get the land tap without the menu popping up. I'm not seeing any adverse effects so far with other mana producer cards, but I'd appreciate a sanity check from other people here in case there's some other fallout I'm not seeing from this change.
* created three new utility functions that return a vector of matching abilities, colors and types
* migrated all activated ability impl into AllAbilities.cpp. Perhaps we could break AllAbilities up into separate impl files for manageability?
One for Activated abilities, another for triggers,etc
new ability lord...teach(whatever[whatever]) ability.
teach is a targeted lord, it takes the cards current target and lords it the ability. im aware of a tiny memleak it contains, but the leak is happening on parser lvl, so i need more eyes to look at it. teach is ideally used for equipment, and was designed to fix issue 244 taught abilities are not given to the source cards.
forced Ai to pay for sunburst correctly. it was choosing to pay with all of one type of mana. now it pays either max or 1 from max sunburst.
added a tiny double check for Ai to try and find something to use if it suddenly has mana in its pool. it is only a single check in a turn, but i notice it actually does slightly improve the usages of dark ritual and foreach mana producers. ideally i wanted it to check EVERYTIME. but i could not achieve it without putting the game in danger of looping. so once is better then none :/
fixed a bug with affinity where it was not counting duel lands, this is becuase of not setting it up correctly for lands with multiple types SORRY!
this fixes a bug(?) that had high priority and maintains same effect as before. removed all traces of the "bugged(?) hint" from CardPrimitive.
Issue: 498
Also fixed the project includes so that we don't need to always use the indirect include path, ie:
#include "../include/foo.h" -> #include "foo.h"
I'm don't know much about make files - if I busted the linux build, mea culpa, but I think we're okay on that front too. For future reference, here's the most straightforward link on the topic of adding pch support to make files:
http://www.mercs-eng.com/~hulud/index.php?2008/06/13/6-writing-a-good-makefile-for-a-c-project
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.
- fix for issue 467 (simultaneous triggers + "trigger" keyword)
- MootPoint's patch for some string parsing
- some random int/float compilation warning fixes
Two example codes:
[card]
name=Alabaster Leech
auto=lord(*[white]|myhand) white:+1
autoexile=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autograveyard=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autohand=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autolibrary=all(*|myhand) resetcost
text=White spells you cast cost {W} more to cast.
mana={W}
type=Creature
subtype=Leech
power=1
toughness=3
[/card]
[card]
name=Helm of Awakening
auto=lord(*|myhand) colorless:-1
auto=lord(*|opponenthand) colorless:-1
autoexile=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autograveyard=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autohand=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autolibrary=all(*|myhand) resetcost
text=Spells cost {1} less to cast.
mana={2}
type=Artifact
[/card]
autoexile=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autograveyard=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autohand=all(*|myhand) resetcost
autolibrary=all(*|myhand) resetcost
----> This code section is necessary, because manacost altering cards will keep their effect even when they have left the battlefield. RESETCOST erases all alterations which have no existing source on the battlefield anymore.
2) Added the new keyword TRANSFORM, which is similar to BECOMES. The main difference is that you can change single parameters of a permanent (color,type,...).
Example codes:
[card]
name=Memnarch
auto={1}{U}{U}:target(*) transforms(artifact)
auto={3}{U}:moveTo(myBattlefield) target(arifact)
text={1}{U}{U}: Target permanent becomes an artifact in addition to its other types. (This effect lasts indefinitely.) -- {3}{U}: Gain control of target artifact. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)
mana={7}
type=Legendary Artifact Creature
subtype=Wizard
power=4
toughness=5
[/card]
[card]
name=Dralnu's Crusade
auto=lord(goblin) 1/1
auto=lord(goblin) transforms(zombie,black)
text=Goblin creatures get +1/+1. -- All Goblins are black and are Zombies in addition to their other creature types.
mana={1}{B}{R}
type=Enchantment
[/card]
Important notes concerning TRANSFORM:
- IF YOU TARGET A CREATURE THE EFFECT IS PERMINENT.
- IF YOU TARGET THE SOURCE THE EFFECT IS UNTIL END OF TURN.
- IF YOU USE LORD THE EFFECT LAST TIL PERMINENT SOURCE LEAVES PLAY.
These restrictions will probably be changed in the near future!
3) Added 57 successfully tested cards.
Card list ---> first comment
4) Changed the name of several tokens: "()" used to cuase crashes when used in the name-line.
5) Added the new keyword NONBATTLEZONE for leaves play trigger optimizing. It can be used to replace the phrase "EXILE,GRAVEYARD,HAND,LIBRARY".
I will add tests for test suite in one of the next revisions!!
####### TEST SUITE PROVEN ########
Zethfox: "Opponenthand gui access, cards that target(*|opponenthand) can now be coded as such, target chooser will activate allowing you to click the new icon under the avatar of the opponent and open the opponents hand Gui so you may select the target card."
Cards in opponents hand are only viewable when target choosing would allow you to enter that zone! ;)
- Added the new keyword "NAME". (by Zethfox).
When used in an autoline it replaces an autoline's "ability" text with a custom ability name.
The basic phrase is: "auto=name(whatever you want) &&".
Example card:
[card]
name=Order of the Stars
abilities=defender
auto=choice name(white) && counter(0/0,1,White) all(this)
auto=choice name(blue) && counter(0/0,1,Blue) all(this)
auto=choice name(black) && counter(0/0,1,Black) all(this)
auto=choice name(red) && counter(0/0,1,Red) all(this)
auto=choice name(green) && counter(0/0,1,Green) all(this)
auto=this(counter{0/0.1.White}) protection from white
auto=this(counter{0/0.1.Blue}) protection from blue
auto=this(counter{0/0.1.Black}) protection from black
auto=this(counter{0/0.1.Red}) protection from red
auto=this(counter{0/0.1.Green}) protection from green
text=Defender (This creature can't attack.) -- As Order of the Stars enters the battlefield, choose a color. -- Order of the Stars has protection from the chosen color.
mana={W}
type=Creature
subtype=Human Cleric
power=0
toughness=1
[/card]
The popup window for this card will now contain a list with
"white,"blue","black","red" and "green"
instead of
"ability","ability","ability","ability","ability".
This will make a lot of cards much easier to handle!
- Added 42 successfully test using one (or both) new keywords.
Card list --> First comment
Note that we did not add tests for both new keywords:
It is simply not possible to write them yet! They will follow as soon as they are possible. We guarantee that everything we submitted in this revision has been tested excessively!
The engine always handled it as "REGENERATE" and thus had to be renamed. Its new name is "CANTREGEN". It has been tested excessively by me and Zethfox. Now all cards with the former "cantregenerate" work as they should.
- I also added a test for "CANTREGEN" (Incinerate).
- Added the new keyword "FOG" (by Zethfox).
This is an equivalent for "PREVENTALLCOMBATDAMAGE", which only worked for instants and sorceries. "Fog" works only for permanents and is used in combination with the newly introduced parameter "ONESHOT"!
- I also added 2 tests for "FOG" (Maze of Ith, Spore Frog).
Both additions lead to several issue fixes:
Fixed issue286.
Fixed issue328.
Fixed issue332.
Fixed issue416.
- Removed Demonic Torment, Gaseous Form, General's Kabuto, Sandskin. Those cards never worked and could even not be fixed with "FOG".
- Optimized the code of the dragon-lair land-cycle from PLS and added 2 tests for them.
- Added 8 successfully tested cards. Card list -> first comment.
- new features by Zethfox:
-- "oneshot" optional parameters for lords (helps fixing issues with bouncelands)
-- Life as a cost (avoids using a dirty trick of paying life as an effect)
-- set life total abilitiy (lifeset
-- new auto lines: autostack, autoexile
The test suite passes with these changes, also no test using these abilities has been added yet
- updated pt translation (thanks to almosthumane)
- Added/updated some Themes by Ilya B
- Added a random wallpaper loading at loading screen (see wallpapers.txt in Res/graphics)
- Saving decks and collection should now be a bit more secure (attempt at minimizing issue 393)
