- 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...
- Fix issue 144 (Sound is either 0 or 100%), for PSP ONLY. The methods are now here for linux/windows, but only the music volume method will work currently, and it sets the volume globally. Patch by Yeshua with some cleanup by myself.
- [PSP] pressing START + TRIANGLE on the PSP will attempt to reset the GU. If/when you get the purple screen, try to press start+triangle in the main menu and let me know if it changes something
-fixed a memory leak
- Added P02 and PTK
- New way to create tokens in the parser, much more flexible, see the Hive in RV. Tokens can now be written as other cards, with a rarity of "T". I suggest their id to be the negative value of the card that generates them when possible. Naming convention for images is the same as before: a negative id such as -1138 will need a [id]t.jpg image (1138t.jpg). Positive ids work as "normal" pictures
* 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.
- Added -O2 option in the PSP Makefile. In my tests, this highly increases the probability of getting a purple screen. Fixing this bug is THE priority :)
-Load shop and backdrop in 5551. @Jeck feel free to implement the "default as 5551" for jpegs as well if you think it's worth it. I think this change is the safest for the time being, but that's mostly because I'm too lazy to touch JGE
* Removed all calls to Release(JQuad*).
* Updated flatten(). Prior flatten was buggy beyond belief.
* Done some extensive testing, but if this causes more trouble than it fixes, we'll have to revert. It's too close to release time.
* The alternate theme is just useful for testing themes, but please comment on the changes to the main theme.
* Options reading and initializing separated from UI.
* Options UI abstracted a bit, made more easily extensible.
* With some extension, the options UI could be used as the basis for more complicated themes, if we load a file and use it to do stuff like GameStateOptions::Start()
- fix issue 65 (quads when no image load slowly in shop/deck editor)
- Possibly fix issue 92, please let me know if it reproduces
- Fix issue 97 (Deck editor: weird behavior of deck display)
- Fix issue 39 - please verify
- Issue 56 can probably be closed as well
- Fix issue 86
- fix issue 69 (Shadow.png load issue) - I put it back to a black 16x16 image. If you need more alpha, use the facilities provided by JGE rather than touching the file, thanks ;)
* This is a little dirty, as it's loading the profile multiple times. The proper way to do it would be to add any line starting with "unlocked_" to an array for deferred loading. This would also allow us to write those lines back even without the associated set being loaded. The clean solution is on my todo-list now :)
* Decks now support naming and renaming. Also added a "Switch decks without saving" option.
* Removed unused static const char * menuTexts, from old 6-deck limited system
* Keypad didn't display correctly when not given a title, and was never destructed. Fixed.
* profileFile() default behavior was to fall back to RESPATH/player. Fixed.
* New iconspsp.png, updated look to seem like PSP buttons, added some extra (unused) button icons.
* Numerous cache fixes, reduced filesystem access.
* Cache fails very gracefully.
* Cache is now a templated class, with individual caches per data-type.
* Much easier to extend.
* Extensively debugged. Try compiling with -DDEBUG_CACHE.
* Caches limits can be set on a per-item basis.
* hgeParticleSystemInfo are now cached, mana particles now fall back to defaults.
* Samples are not cached, but track filesystem misses using the cache backbone.
* Avatars are cached. Default baka avatar is now baka.jpg, to prevent collision with player.
A note on the retrieval types:
RETRIEVE_MANAGE puts a resource into a seperate, managed resource list.
Managed resources are guarenteed valid for the lifetime of the program.
Retrieving a managed quad promotes the associated texture to managed. Don't do that by mistake.
Calls to Resources.Refresh() will attempt to reload managed resources in place.
RETRIVE_LOCK (and by extension, RETRIEVE_VRAM), returns a resource after locking it.
A resource may have many locks, and remains in cache until they are all released.
If the resource is managed, it returns it unmodified.
A note on quads:
Unlike all other RetrieveWhatever() functions, the default behavior for RetrieveQuad is RETRIEVE_LOCK. Worse, Release(JQuad*) is slow, and will /always/ release one lock from the associated texture.
There's a long and complicated explanation for this, involving support for live relinking of textures to existing quads, but basically what it means is that we only use RetrieveQuad for quads we intend to store and later Release(). If a temporary quad is needed, the preferred method is to use NEW JQuad* and SAFE_DELETE with RetrieveTexture(). RetrieveTempQuad is also provided, but is only guaranteed until the next call to the cache.
Note that RetrieveCard has none of these problems.
This is pretty major, so there'll probably be something wrong with it... even though I did spend a few hours looking.
NOTES:
* If you've Retrieved it, don't delete it--- Use resources.Release(Whatever).
Textures automatically release subordinate quads.
* Most of the time, use resources.RetrieveQuad to grab a quad. Should handle everything for you.
RetrieveQuad will load the required texture, if needed.
Only managed resources have a resource name ("back", "simon", etc).
Managed resources can be retrieved with GetTexture/GetQuad/GetWhatever.
Non managed quads lookup by position/dimensions, defaulting to the whole texture.
* Use resources.RetrieveTexture only when you need to do something special to it.
Calling retrieve texture with RETRIEVE_MANAGE will permanently add a texture to the manager
RETRIEVE_LOCK and RETRIEVE_VRAM will lock a texture. It will not leave the cache until
Release(JTexture*) is called, or as a last resort during cache overflow.
* Try to only store (as a class member) pointers to textures retrieved with RETRIEVE_MANAGE.
All others may become invalid, although locked textures do have a high degree of stability. It's
pretty safe to store a locked texture if you're not going to load much between uses.
There's a lot going on here, so I might have missed something... but it runs through the test suite alright.
TODO:
* When called without any arguments, RetrieveQuad sometimes leaves a thin border around the image.
This can be bypassed by specifying a quad one or two pixels less than the image size. Why?
* I've had a crash while runing the Demo mode, something to do with receiveEventMinus?
This hasn't exactly reproduced on a clean SVN copy, (being a hang, rather than a crash) so
I've probably done something to worsen the problem somehow? I'll look into it tomorrow.
* Clean up lock/unlock system, memory usage. Streamline interface, consider phasing out calls using GetWhatever() format.
* 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
* Add the rolling phasebar.
* This is a preview version. It shares most of the code with the definitive
version, but when the real code is checked in, this will be deleted.
- Added a few "stats" to the main menu. This might slow down loading times on the PSP (needs testing). In that case I'll move it to the options, or optimize it if needed
