Notes to programmers:
1. This feature uses an awful lot of copy-pasta, using "protetcion from()" as a base. While I'm learning the architecture, it's easier for me to have a dedicated single-purpose piece of code to work with, than trying to create multi-purpose code. I'm aware that this isn't a very elegant approach though, and I hope to be able to refactor additions like this into multi-purpose code once I have a better understanding of the architecture as a whole.
2. Please check the questions I'll add in my next code comments, specifically about AI integration and activated abilities / instants / sorceries.
3. I did have a crash (with the debugger complaining about stack corruption around the cd variable) during testing. I wasn't able to reproduce it though. I did have to clean the solution in-between when I updated to the primitives system, so perhaps there was this cleaning solved whatever corruption was in my files. I'm mentioning the issue in case someone has an idea on where my code might be risky (I'm still probne to making beginners mistakes).
- fix issue 168 (kudzu)
- Fix issue 162 (copy VS shroud). This fix introduces a new keyword: NotATarget() instead of Target(). (Which was the best way for me to keep some kind of backward compatibility/ not alter the code too much / fix the bug)
- fixed divergent growth (issue 243). Unfortunately the underlying issue is quite complex, and Wagic doesn't handle it very well. Basically, all "until end of turn" effects run the risk of being partially deleted before the end of the turn, leading to segfaults or memory leaks. This is because some abilities' "clone" method doesn't actually clone them entirely... The fix for divergent growth is a hack that works only for lords+mana producer combination, but I need a more "generic fix" in the long run...
- fix a memory leak with "Prevent All combat damages" ability
- Fix issue 242 (Equip can be used outside of the main phases)
- introducing "attach" keyword. Same as equip but can be used anytime. Untested
- introducing "asSorcery" keyword. Can be used the same way as "myTurnOnly" on activated abilities to restrict their usage. Untested. Other similar keywords will follow, please let me know which ones would be useful
- 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
- Adding equipments. They work like auras, except you have to add an "auto={cost}:equip" line. See Behemoth sledge in ARB for an example. Please test a lot before committing, thanks :)
- Lords are now taken into account in AI statistics. (To display information, uncomment RENDER_AI_STATS in config.h)
- fixed a potential segfault with NoFizzle
-added WParsedInt (X, p, t, manacost) for "Draw" effects. See prosperity
- Fixed denizen of the deep (P02), it had broken the test suite, sorry for that!
I'm fairly certain this works as intended, cards with nofizzle "can be targeted by spells that try to counter it (such as Cancel). Those spells will resolve, but the part of their effect that would counter [it] won't do anything. Any other effects those spells have will work as normal."
Still, I don't work much with card logic, so it's possible this has some kind of unintended side effect.
- Code cleanup
- fix issue 142 . This will lead to other issues for some cards. These issues can be fixed by using targetcontroller/controller...etc
- Added a few cards
- 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=
-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
- Added "PreventAllCombatDamage" [from(...)] [to(...)] keyword. Please test it on a few cards before we "mass" use it. As a side effect, fixed issue 155 (ebony horse target).
-reduced SFX Quality. This seems to fix the Bug with samples getting silent on the PSP (issue 112), and improves loading times. If you think this is unacceptable, let's discuss it
- AI now should play fetchlands' ability, although still not "efficiently"
- Fix a bug where the game would crash if a card has a valid alias to a hardcoded card that is in no _cards.dat (starwars mod cards aliasing a MTG card)
- Added @damaged works fine (tested with thieving magpie), please test your additions if you plan to add some cards with this keyword and report if buggy. As the other trigger, you cannot have a target unless there is a may ability.
- Added 2 cards to 10E - Reminisce and Thieving Magpie both tested and working.
- Added 2 cards to LEG - Jovial Evil and Spiritual Sanctuary (not tested yet) but should work.
Wanted to add a bunch of cards that use "shuffle" as a keyword.. after the remedy from Herr Doktor in R1050 and the removal of oblation from ONS it gave me the idea that this could be implemented... I wanted to add some cards like darksteel collosus (M10) with something like auto=@movedto(this|graveyard) from(battlefield):moveto(mylibrary) && shuffle well the above does not work ...
Anyway... i'm not sure the shuffle keyword is working... I don't really have a way to test it. Also if some willing soul could have a quick look would be great..
some cards could be added like Boggart Forager (LRW), Oblation (ONS)...
-new trigger: @tapped(...
-Parser now supports X for P/T. WARNING: this does not work for activated abilities. And currently this works only for P/T but will be added progressively to other things
- fixed a bug with Flagstones of Trokair. There was no easy fix (cloned objects deleting stuff from their parents...) and I ended up using a "garbage collect at end of turn" technique the way I did with the ActionStack. As a result, the memory print of a turn will become bigger, and even more bugs might occur at the end of a turn... I'm ready to discuss this, although I think it's the best solution (in terms of result/amount of work) given the way abilities work right now
- Test suite now gives the number of failed/success at the end of the tests
-Issue 31 fixed. Land and tokens don't use the stack anymore. Taking control of a card in opponent's battlefield doesn't trigger "spell cast" triggers either
