- 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...
-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.

Although the feature is named "cheat mode", its main purpose is to provide a toolbox for content creators. Currently this means to help AI deck creators, but the cheat mode is easily extensible.
Features:
- To enable cheat mode, create a new profile with the super secret cheat name (shouldn't be hard to find - or just mail me if you don't want to look). Then, leave and re-enter the Options menu. You can now enable cheat mode on the first tab. Note: The secret profile name is *not* my original suggestion from the forum, I went with Jeck's alternative suggestion so that he won't have to cringe over bad puns everytime he's using it. ;)
- Complete collection: In cheat mode, there's a new option in the deck viewer, which makes sure that you have at least 4 of any card available.
- Deck integrity: When in cheat mode, and you load a deck with cards that are not present in your collection, then these cards won't be stripped from your deck any more. Instead, they are added to your collection.
- Money cheat: In cheat mode, when you click on an item in the shop, you get the option to steal 1,000 credits from the shopkeeper.
Please review my code - I just started with C++, I may make very obvious mistakes or use inelegant style. The sooner you point this out, the sooner I'll improve.
thanks to wololo and jeck for comments and suggestions.
Jeck: Do the setVisible and setHidden methods currently work? I tried to use them to hide a menu item, but they all seem to lead to empty methods - Perhaps placeholders for a not yet implemented functionality?
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.
- fixed a bug (crash if a card that had an ability until end of turn would be put into the graveyard before the end of the turn)
- Added a new game Mode : Random 1 or 2 color.
- no more 5 decks limitation for Player
- Player decks can be given a name/description the same way we do for the AI. No PSP Gui for that yet though, has to be done outside of Wagic (PSPWrite ?)
- fixed card id collisions in Legends, Ravnica, Portal
- Changed Deck and Database structures with better design (a bit faster, hopefully a lot cleaner)
- updated Windows project file
- 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
