added new mana display option "No Glitter" acciddently(?) lost "both" options somehow.
the new "no glitter mana display is basically "eye candy without particle effects" on PC created 2000 mana...no FPS drop...on PSP created an EXTREMELY large amount of mana before i noticed an FPS drop of any kind, this is dramatically better then
what was in previous rev, create 20 mana and crash.
if someone could figure out how i manage to lose the "Both" option, please explain to me why it wasnt showing up, i spent 2 hours trying to get it back.
both "optimize starting hand" and "Unlock all Ai Decks" appear in options under the option to "enable cheats"
optimize gives you decent starting hands, and Unlock all Ai decks is basically just a bypass options for the unlock deck mode varible wololo added.
tweaked abilitygranting Eff in Ai lessons to be divided by the number of cards in hand, this will mean Ai will tend to focus on using mana to cast spells instead of using them to grant abilities, until theres only 1 or less cards in hand, at this point it will go all out. there is a splash of randomness in Ai so it will still often do whatever it freaking wants lol, you should notice a proformence increase from Ai in this aspect. no more giving unblockable to a creature in 2nd main.
please note, one of the recent previous revs broke cheat mode "unlock cards" in deck editor, i filed a bug report. its a probelm i was not able to fix myself so there is no fix included in this rev....i came across the bug while testing cheat mode stuff.
- had some problems compiling for the PSP. I assume I was the only one, please let me know if the "include JLogger" lines are not needed (they were needed for me)
- Fix a memory leak when playing in "random deck" mode
- Prevent the AI from playing cards with a cost it cannot understand (ExtraCosts with a target).
- Added a possibility to put a file "Res.txt" instead of the folder "Res". The file Res.txt is a simple 1 line text file, telling where to find the Res folder, terminated by "/". For example: "../../wagic_res".
This addresses issue 428 . This could also help us in the future, to develop mods.
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!
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
- bug fix in JGE++ audio (improve HBL compatibility)
- Added new rewards in story mode: random card, card (either by "name" or id), specific set
- Story mode: added possibility to choose music, and bg for duel.
-- See "01. Where it all begins" for examples of new features
- Reward system in Story mode (currently, either credits or random set)
- Rules now accept for player 2 to start (see story mode "block" stage)
- Story mode now has an autosave/autoload mechanism. This is for convenience but also to prevent people from abusing the reward mechanism too easily.
- possibility to choose an avatar for both players through the rules (see example in story mode)
- Adding (dead) code for Story mode. This is FAR from being ready so it's deactivated in the code. I just don't want to create a branch (I'm lazy) and I'm fed up with synching. My Goal is to have a tutorial ready with this for the release after this one. If you want to test it (Note: the sample story is not interesting at ALL), just look for "Story mode" and uncomment (3 occurrences). PSP Or Linux need additions to the Makefile...
- Loading the "awardback.jpg" file in 16bits instead of 32. This should extremely reduce the probability of crashes (issue 247)
- Added some error debug message for the test suite when a card cannot be found
