- This is some Work in progress to make Wagic less "game" dependent.
This change especially is an attempt at moving away from some dangerous patents owned by some company.
It introduces "modrules.xml", a global configuration file describing dynamic settings for any given Wagic mod. It is very basic for now, but allows to customize a bit. In particular, it allows to remove the concept of shop and deck editor from the game, dynamically generate the main menu, and represent card activation with a mask rather than a rotation.
I have a sample in progress which I hope to submit in the days to come, a proof of concept (nothing fancy yet) for another type of game using these ideas, as well as a few other things I introduced recently.
In the future, I am hoping to extend modrules.xml so that it entirely describes the rules of a given card game. the other files in rules.txt will describe "extensions" to the core rules, just like they do right now, so this new file does not make them obsolete.
- Also fixed minor bugs I stumbled upon while developing
- also has a basic support for unlocks (does not yet allow people to create their own unlock rules, though...)
- Some things are still hardcoded and should progressively move to these rules files (such as Game Type, how random decks are created, etc...)
- Test suite doesn't foolishly ask you to choose a game mode (momir, etc...) anymore
- UPDATE YOUR Res/rules/ folder !!!
- fixed issue 595 (MaxCast not working). Root cause was the stupidest typo ever in the code (maxCost instead of maxCast...)
- fixed an issue with Storm mentioned by zethfox (was counting only spells played by current player)
- Moved "max lands per turn" rule outside of the code (yay!) Please be sure to update your Rules folder!
