========================================
added a function to return the action element id by mtgcardinstance.
=======================================
refactored all 5 combat triggers to be handled in a single class, this change helps reduce the "bits and pieces" of trigger restrictions which some did support while others didnt, it also allows for easier editing and debugging if future code needs to be added to it.
refactored the parsing for the combat triggers also, so that a combat trigger can be built from a single object if it only contains "or"...amongst other reasons.
the new syntax is auto=@combat(blocking,attacking,turnlimited,once) source(TC) from(TC):effect...all the same words are still used, except they are now all included inside the combat(-----) this includes restrictions for the triggers. if a card still needs multiple triggers from some reason...it is still 100% allowed to have as many as you want, with whatever you want inside them...check updated primitive for examples.
the required sections are auto=@combat(atleast one trigger) source(TC):effect.
=========================================
moved the limitsperturn "limit:" from genericactivatedability up to its parent class activatedability, did this for the following reason
first rules correction, the previous method tracked uses on resolve, which is incorrect, it should count as the ability is fired and placed on the stack.
second, it keeps all the actiavted ability restrictions in the same place, this is the location we are checking summoning sickness, actived restrictions such as "myturnonly" ect. makes sense to handle it in the parent.
third, it allow any and all future activated abilities easy access to "limit:" if needed, it would only require adding a limit string to pass on construction to the child classes instead of recoding the same exact checks as genericactivated.
=======================================================
reworked "name(" so that it no longer is required to be used inside a "&&" ability, also it no longer will create a MTGAbility object with a false return. that was just dirty of me :/
enabled "name(" to replace the menutext of alternative cost.
"other={cost} name(holy cow)"
will display "holy cow" instead of "pay alternative cost", this change is nice because we ended up using "other" cost for WAY more then originally planned...now we can label it exactly what it should say when you click it.
======================================================
added a subtype keyword for powertoughnessmodifier so that you can basically switch on non-static variables for it...lifetotal/lifetotal nonstatic...PT can now except all word variables as i added reparsing of the ints, had to maintain old methods as ai needs them to decide what to do with them.
======================================================
removed the following extremely redundant classes
both ABecomes classes---atransformer has become far superior to it, i kept the "becomes(" parsing tho, and it will act exactly as it use to, except now it has access to most of the subkeywords of transforms...it also now allows word variables. and excepts "forever" as a tag. added "newcolor" subkeyword to transforms to create the "becomes(" adding a color without removing colors effect. "becomes(" now returns a constructor for ATransformer that emulates becomes( exactly as it worked before.
both forevertransformer classes, the only difference between the 2 was one subkeyword, and "forever" did not return a "destroy()"...i recreated this in less then 4 lines and a bool. that was sloppy of me :( i guess we learn and improve.
============================================================================
i removed the parsing of card casting restriction from the first pass when cards load, instead of making it a cardprimitive object, i now simply pass the string through the card and build the restrictions when theyre actually needed and checked.
this change allowed for alot of clean up, removing enum and dependancy on cardprimitive, and combining both allowedAltCast and allowedtocast functions checks through a new function "parseCastRestrictions"...this change keeps all the cast resrictions in a single place, which makes it easier to debug or add if needed, and while i was at it, i enabled it so cards can now contain as many restrictions as you want *of the available ones*
added "turn:" as a restriction to make it so "fourth turn" could actually be ANY turn you list, this allowed me to remove a dirty line of code which was checking if a card was o converted cost but had a suspend...lotus bloom...which can not be cast normally..for cards like this now you can use restriction=turn:200 or otherrestriction=turn:200....
=========================================================================
added Phyrexian Mana...svntax {p(r)} ....this will always be payable with 2 life, but if you have a red mana for this example, it will charge you the red mana instead...you can have any combination of P mana you want in any of the games manacost.
===================================================
reworked a bit of the ai logic i added, it now has true interrupting and can now correctly target for fizzles, Ai will go into full out counterspell wars with you now...
===================================================
added a ingame reward system with fancy flying text animations, they reward the player with actual credits, but are extremely hard to trigger off, theyre not meant to be something you see every 5 secs, but something that when you see them trigger you go "damn that was cool"
the triggers and effects are as follows
first the combo system:
you have to chain cast 5 or more card, without tapping or being interupted, tiny bonus for this..chain is broken as soon as you or your opponent tap something.
next combo level is
Abundant Resources - chain 10 or more spells same condition
then
killer - chain 15 or more same condition
this will include a flying text render once a chain is successfully started (5+ cast)
this bonus can be triggered multiple times in a match
the next bonus is
+ //creatures entering play consecutively will allow you a chance
+ //to gain a bonus for maintaining force sizes, it will trigger every 10th
+ //creature which enters play consecutively.
this is restarted every time a noncreature enters play.
the levels are as follows,
Deadly Force Bonus! -10 creatures enter play consecutively
Extreme Infantry Bonus! - 10 creatures enter play consecutively and you maintain a force size of 20+
Malignant Conqueror Bonus! -10 creatures enter play consecutively and you maintain a force size of 40+
this can only be triggered once per level per match.
next bonus is given for having alot of a specific type come into play under your control during a match, this bonus only triggers once per match.
the levels are:
Toy Collector!
Beast Tamer!
Vampire King!
Lord of Swarms!
Master of Elements!
Zombie Apocalypse!
Sword And Shield!
Medic!
The Promenade!
Heavenly Host!
Teeth And Scales!
its pretty easy to figure out what each requires to trigger, teeth and scales for example is dragons, wurms, drakes, and snakes.
the final bonus is deal 100 damage from a single source in a single damage event, this one triggers only once per match.
============================================================
fixed the following bugs::::
regenerate was not working for non-creature regeneration ie:welding jar
ai would sometime get stuck in a infinate loop tho extremely rarely while deciding what to do, the cause
if (clickstream.empty())
computeActions();
is NOT enough...ai should NEVER be computing actions (finding a card or ability to play) when it is NOT the active player..meaning, it does not have priority.
g->currentlyActing() is the player that has priority.
if (clickstream.empty() && g->currentlyActing() == this)...loop fixed :)
dynamicability had a couple weird results, from sources which dont have an amount to return, i now check this and if non, the amount is 0.
transformer will no longer add the same types a card already has..
removed an unneeded
if (!activated) ....oris bug seems to be corrected with this change.
wrapped limitsperturn checks in a conditional to skip it if there is no limit string.
added safer method to get the target of the combat trigger. the previous could potentially cause a crash if you interrupted the ability while the combat trigger was on the stack, it would do a call to "getnextopponent" and return a null pointer. i now send the opponent with the event.
fixed a crash that would happen when a card did not have a type= line. having a type or subtype line is now optional. and highly recommended to avoid using "type=nothing"
moved a function call in buyback isreactingtoclick so that it checks if its in the hand before parsing the restrictions for it.
removed allowedtocast function calls from the alternative payment types, they are only supposed to check allowedtocast if it is something like "buyback" and kicker...not "you may pay this instead"....
corrected an issue with type: variable where it would add the amount depending on the activeplayer. to correct i added a method to call TargetZoneChooser::targetsZone( with a mSource...so that you can set the source card for the scan.
note: all test pass.
fixed a bug with Withering Wisps, moved the parsing of the limit string into the isreactingtoclick function, this allows word varibles such as type: to be used.
2nd, removed a varible isTempPhased, it *appear* it might not be needed, tho i didn't handle phasing the way im converting it to for a reason, so cross your fingers and hope all goes well.
BTW: do not email me about any bugs that ariase with phasing or phased out creature, im not excepting bug reports on it to my email box...instead open a ticket with a repro method and mark it as critical.
-fix for issue 604 (Land play limitation should not apply in all cases)
-- this adds a "castMehod" variable to MTGCardInstance. IF this variable is 0, the card was not "cast" (or for lands, "put into play" as part of the lands rule), but "added" to the battlefield with some other effect. On the other hand, if this variable is set, it means the card was cast
-- as we discussed, I did not touch the "alternateCostPaid" variable, as I'm still not really sure these two concepts are actually the same
this(damaged)
added
targetchooser [damaged] status
added
targetchooser [controllerdamager]
targetchooser [opponentdamager]
basically checks for whos doing damage to who in a match per turn.
This btw points out another circular dependancy between the texture and the JQuad - a texture owns a bunch of JQuads, yet the renderer uses JQuads and always assumes that the texture is valid. We're going to need to add more defensiveness to JGE to protect against this.
Other changes in this check-in: WResourceManager doesn't derive from JResourceManager anymore. It actually didn't require anything from the base, so I killed the dependency. Also cleaned up the notion of a WTrackedQuad in the WCachedResource - it didn't need a separate class, just a better container.
I've build this & tested against PSP, win, linux, QT (linux). I haven't tried against iOS and QT Win, or Maemo. If these other platforms are broken, I apologize in advance! - I'm hoping it should be fairly simple to put them back into play.
for "this card cant be the target of green spells or abilities" style cards.
added poisoned status trigger for attacking, so far its the only place this is checked. we will see what the next set does with this keyword
ok i WAS going to write a full change log with code exsamples ect, but since im rushed you will get the short version of this log.
first bug fixes, and there were many,
indestructible creature bug fixed
halimar execavator *embearessing youtube video" bug is fixed
token text now displays source name and tokens abilities
fixed a card view null pointer in an iterator when code used combinations of foreach and aslongas with CD.
epic struggle bug fixed, aslongas was only parsing one space to the right of the operator.
extra cost containing targetting fixed, cards can now have multiple extra cost in all mana...this includes giving a card 2 targeted sacrifices as its main cost.
angelic chorus bug fixed, the card will be soft coded now.
and many other minor bugs fixed, hard to remember all which were fixed.
now, new abilities = words
"legendarylandwalk",
"desertlandwalk",
"snowforestlandwalk",
"snowplainslandwalk",
"snowmountainlandwalk",
"snowislandlandwalk",
"snowswamplandwalk",
"snowlandwalk",
"nonbasiclandwalk",
"strong",//cant be blocked by creature with less power
"weak",//cant block creatures with more power
"phasing",
all true landwalks will now be supported.
new cost types:
morph which is coded as follows
[card]
name=Bloodstoke Howler
facedown={3}
autofacedown={6}{R}:morph
autofaceup=3/0 all(beast|mybattlefield))
text=Morph {6}{R} (You may cast this face down as a 2/2 creature for {3}. Turn it face up any time for its morph cost.) -- When Bloodstoke Howler is turned
face up, Beast creatures you control get +3/+0 until end of turn.
mana={5}{R}
type=Creature
subtype=Beast
power=3
toughness=4
[/card]
you will notice new auto lines autofaceup and autofacedown
these are abilities the cards will have when theyre in that state.
the cost is coded as
facedown={cost}
when a card is faced up it gains auto= lines also.
tho is played normally it will NOT gain autofaceup=lines
card restrictions:
cards can now have restrictions placed on them the restrictions are.
all previous restrictions usable in activated abilities
with the follow additions
control two or more vampires
control less creatures
control snow land
casted a spell
one of a kind
fourth turn
before battle damage
after battle
during battle
[card]
name=Blood Frenzy
target=creature[attacking;blocking]
restriction=before battle damage
auto=4/0
auto=treason
text=Cast Blood Frenzy only before the combat damage step. -- Target attacking or blocking creature gets +4/+0 until end of turn. Destroy that creature
at the beginning of the next end step.
mana={1}{R}
type=Instant
[/card]
other cost now can have specail restrictions also:
otherrestriction=mytypemin:1 type(swamp),opponenttypemin:1 opponenttype(plains)
these are minimums required inplay of a type
it can be just you, or you and opponent or just opponent
you can also use the words "more" and "less" and * to compare the 2 players fields.
[card]
name=Cho-Arrim Legate
abilities=protection from black
other={0}
otherrestriction=mytypemin:1 type(swamp) , opponenttypemin:1 opponenttype(plains)
text=Protection from black -- If an opponent controls a Swamp and you control a Plains, you may cast Cho-Arrim Legate without paying its mana cost.
mana={2}{W}
type=Creature
subtype=Human Soldier
power=1
toughness=2
[/card]
activated ability gained a new restriction "opponentturnonly"
variables will now be recalculated during the resolve of the major abilities to produce the most current number.
{x}:draw:x <----
new number variables words:
using draw as an exsample
draw:auras <--auras on a creature
draw:type:ally <---counts the allys in your field. self explanitory
draw:thatmuch <--mostly a triggered effects number.
when you take damage draw that much
draw:lifelost
draw:oplifelost
these return the value of the life lost that turn.
new TRIGGER restricitions
sourcenottap
sourceTap
foelostthree<--card cycle uses opponent lost life
foelosttwo<--same as above
once<--this trigger will only ever trigger one time and never again.
new card discriptor words
[multicolor]
[leveler]
[enchanted]
[blackandgreen]
[blackandwhite]
[redandblue]
[blueandgreen]
[redandwhite]
CD will now recalculate the number again on resolve
meaning {x}:target(CreatureTargetChooser[manacost <=x]) will work, with an added bonus {x}:target(CreatureTargetChooser[manacost <=any word variable])
new this(:
this(tapped)<--for strange case cards.
this(untapped)
this(auras)
new MTGAbility keywords
(blink)
(blink)forsrc <--stay blinked while source inplay
hand(blink <---adding hand to the front makes it target hand.
livingweapon
this is an extension of token, simple attach the words "livingweapon" to the front of token( and it will autoamtically token that and attach the card to it.
token( gained:
"targetcontroller" targetting.
"battleready" if put in the tokens abilities it will be a attacker and tapped as it is entering play.
phaseout <--self explanitory
spiritlink <--stacking lifelink style effect that benifits the OWNER of the card.
combatspiritlink same as above.
stacking flanking, requires 2 abilities unfortunately
[card]
name=Agility
target=creature
auto=teach(creature) flanker
auto=teach(creature) flanking
text=Enchant creature -- Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 and has flanking. (Whenever a creature without flanking blocks this creature, the blocking
creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn.)
mana={1}{R}
type=Enchantment
subtype=Aura
[/card]
removeallcounters(number/number,name)
removes all counters of the type from a card, can all be
"all"
vampire hexmage effect.
added new tools for transforms
,setpower=number
,settoughness=number
removetypes
morph
autofacedown={0}:morph
eradicate <---same as the card name.
cumulativeupcost[ <--self explanitory
upcostmulti[ <--an upcost that will resolve with a && ability
phaseaction[ phase name ] ability
an ability that will trigger on the stated phase name.
also support for phaseactionmulti[
new triggers added:
@vampired( <--sengir vampire effect
@targeted(
@lifeloss(
@lifed(
add a special ability builder called dynamicability
it acts alot like a choose your own adventure book
dynamicability<! variable 1, variable 2, variable 3,variable 4!> optional ability targetting the original target.
variable list 1:
this is the primary amount source
source
mytgt
myself
myfoe
variable list 2:
this is the variable we're after, or the amount
power
toughness
manacost
colors
age
charge
oneonecounters
thatmuch
variable list 3:
this is the main effect
strike
draw
lifeloss
lifegain
pumppow
pumptough
pumpboth
deplete
countersoneone
variable list 4:
how it will do this effect to.
itself
eachother
targetcontroller
targetopponent
tosrc
srccontroller
srcopponent
the best way to explain its usage is to look at cards coded with this ability. or experiment with combinations.
new gameoption
First turn player:player, opponent, random
who takes the first turn
added poisoned status, tho not complete since MBS hasnt spoiled enough cards to see where this variable will be used.
taught ai how to counter spell
improved ai, it will now cast instants during interupts and during your turn.
previously ai treated instant cards the same as it treated sorceries, which was not fair to the ai.
im sure there is some messed items, but the rev directly before this one had formatting in the code that created hundreds of conflicts with this one, so i had to dig this info out of red and green sections.
cards and test are coming soon, i ask PLEASE do not alter these new additions until the test are commited.
im commiting without the test because instead of allowing me to proceed with my beta test period, there are some that wish to rush me into a commit. if you do not like this commit revert it, i absolutely on no grounds give permission to recommit afterwards. and i will not recommit if a revert is called.
- refactor of MTGRules.cpp (buyback/flashback/retrace/alternative).
This change has been reviewed by myself, Wil, and Mike. The test suite passes.
More cleanup can be done, I will work on that later on.
2nd, added a block out for optimizedhand in demo mode, ie any time its cpu player vs cpu player, noticed demo was starting matches with no cards.
3rd, added a hackish workaround to allow Ai to get eff returns on abilities using the all(this) lord workaround to target the source. Ai was not getting any returns on these abilities. now basically if the ability is a lord && !target...lets calculate this as tho source == target....
The core problem I fixed was in CardView's (missing) destructor - on construction, a CardView will set itself as a member of its parent CardInstance, so it stands to reason that when it's about to be destroyed, it should do the inverse and remove itself in the same fashion from its parent. This explains why weird graphic glitches were seen when casting Animate Dead on cards in a graveyard - the position data it was trying to use was already deleted from memory (a cardview is deleted on cleanup at the end of a turn if it's gone to the graveyard), but no one nulled out the deleted card view reference from the instance, so we'd access invalid data.
Some peripheral changes in this checkin: two helper functions in CardGui (GetCenterX, GetCenterY) that are part of my navigation patch are included. They're unused in the current code base, so this has zero impact. (I'm only checking them in as it's more work than it's worth to refactor them into a separate changelist. The core of the nav patch requires my mods to Closest.cpp / CardSelector.cpp to have any effect.) I also included a helper function in the debug routines to spit out hex pointer addresses in trace outputs, which I used to chase down this bug.
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.
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.
- 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)
