other={convoke} name(Convoke)
delve
other={delve}
they might be able to be added directly to the real manacost.
added an ability that grants an ability while the source remains tapped
grant ability grantend...
added dethrone
abilities=dethrone
added support of multitargeting to extra cost, it acts the same as normal multitargeting, repeats dopay() the effects for each.
lots of changes, many bug fixes,
first
added auto=count(targetchooser)
and countedamount wparsed int
they work together for cards where it is difficult to get working without knowing in advance how many we had ie: exile blah creatures, for each creature you exiled do effect.
auto=count(creature|mybattlefield)
auto=moveto(exile)
auto=draw:countedamount
it takes into account token creatures, which our old methods did not.
second, added "freeze" which is a "frozen" that automatically taps your target for you, for use when nesting or whenever needed where it was difficult to nest the ability with tap included.
added devotion for "iroas"
added reveal:x and scry x
reveal contains optionone/optiononeend ; optiontwo/optiontwoend ; repeat; afterrevealed/afterrevealed end.
this ability has heavy use of targetListIsSet(<amount>) and upto:amount, you MUST be certain that all cards being revealed have an action that removes them from reveal either in the first, second, or 3rd ability.
there are over 300 examples in the new card code, the ability is VERY easy to understand.
scry contains automatic put on top, put on bottom, then scrycore/scrycoreend which is an ability to fire.
it also contains keywords, dontshow which is nested in scrycore, scry reveals, puts on top or bottom, then reveal AGAIN, and does an effect, dontshow eliminates the 2nd revealing.
is also contains "delayed" keyword, which delays the ability until AFTER the core fires.
added bestow. update rules mtg.txt!!!!
examples are in primitives, every bestow card was supported.
added a new lord based on varibles and restrictions
while(restriction{morbid})
while(varible:blah)
this simplifies and expands on this(, allowing you to even use while(cantarget together and check if a card is targetable by the variable. examples are in primitives
added token(by card name)
auto=token(Eldrazi Scion)
will search primitives and card dats for this card and give it to you as a token.
valid card dat info is still required.
added variable delirium
added restriction madnessplayed to allow checking if the card was played with madness.
added restriction "geared" for checking if a card has equipment on it.
added abilities words
skulk
menace <--cant be blocked except by 2 or more, if you dont block it with 2 or more we automatically unassign the single blocker and the creature is considered not blocked.
nosolo <--cant attack alone
mustblock <---if you dont assign as a blocker, we assign automatically the first thing it can block legally.
changed iscolorless back to "colorless"
enjoy, cards coming soon, theyre coded but im debating on not alpha sorting, cards being added this patch 965 uniques.
there is a section of the commit which was just VS2016 normalizing line ends, sorry if it makes it a cluster mess.
Fix Devotion Count example you have Mogis, God of Slaughter(2 B R),
Ashenmoor Liege(1 B/R B/R B/R), and Rakdos Cackler (B/R) - will be 6
Devotion to Red and Black, since you count the symbol, B/R (hybrid mana)
should return as 1.
{1} can be paid with anything
{c} is a mana supertype, it pays for diamond and colorless.
however all card such as "sol ring" now add diamond instead of old colorless.
reverted waste to {c}, but moved it under counters to avoid crashes. parse for a counter if its not a counter than parse {c} otherwise we would end up with case where it was parsing {c} instead of building counters or vice versa.
The symbol {C} will be used going forward to represent one colorless
mana. The numerical and variable mana symbols ({1}, {2}, and so on,
including {X}) will still be used, but only to represent costs that can
be paid with any type of mana.
example card: To cast Spatial Contortion, you pay two mana: one generic
(that's the {1}) and one colorless (that's the {C}). The generic mana
cost can be paid with any type of mana—that means any color or
colorless. But the {C} is different. That can be paid only with
colorless mana.
usage tap lands to produce mana then sacrifice an offering... example
you have Guttersnipe in play, it has a mana cost of {2}{R}, and you have
Patron of the Akki in hand that costs {4}{R}{R}. You need to produce
{2}{R} mana first before casting Patron of the Akki, then choose
Guttersnipe as an offering.
- saves source card in storedSourceCard for ATransform
- adds support for WParsedInt in pay as "pay[[{value:WParsedInt}]]":
name=Spell Rupture
target=*|stack
auto=if cantargetcard(*|opponentstack) then transforms((,newability[pay[[{value:power:highest:creature:opponentbattlefield}]] name(pay {value} mana) donothing?fizzle])) forever
text=Counter target spell unless its controller pays {X}, where X is the greatest power among creatures you control.
mana={1}{U}
type=Instant
- adds support for {x} in *some* “pay” abilities (Syncopate):
name=Syncopate
target=*|stack
auto=transforms((,newability[pay[[{x}]] name(pay {value} mana) donothing?fizzleto(exile)])) forever
text=Counter target spell unless its controller pays {X}. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard.
mana={X}{U}
type=Instant
- support of "name(pay {value} mana)" in pay abilities to show actual number to pay (see example above)
added
"whenever a creature enters the battlefield you may pay {1}, if you do gain one life"
conditional may pay({cost}) effect
this version is a super type ability, and can only be used in certain combos.
to nest you will need to use it in its subtype pay[[{cost}]] effect
pay keyword can have sideeffects coded as follows
pay[[{1}]] life:1?life:-1
pay one mana and gain 1 life, if you dont then you lose one life. notice no space between the abilities and the question mark.
added castcard()
a method to cast a targeted card, this contains the following subkeywords which can be used in combinations
(normal)
(restricted)
(copied)
(noevent)
castcard(restricted copied noevent) for example will cast a card that is a copy or the spell without sending a cast event only when the spell is castable.
"normal" subkeyword cast the actual spell, not a copy.
extended the use of exiledeath to everyzone, any card going from any zone to graveyard is placed in exile if it has exiledeath.
limited swipe left to open hand only when hand is closed view.
"moveto(" can now be named.
Cleaned Manacost.cpp
My observation so far when paying X in activated abilities, when X doesn't work, I press escape to get in the main menu and play another game(test again), then X activated ability will work. I really don't know where to start/look for the cause of it.
this can also be used for "equipped creature has unattach and blah" cards using
auto=teach(creature) {unattach}:blah
also corrected a long standing guiupdating issue. a long long time ago a replace was removed from GuiPlay::Update in hopes to increase performance no amount of performance increase is worth having cards not updating thier position after an event recieve happens. this means curse will finally go to the correctly choosen players battlefield, equipment will no longer just linger after its target dies, auras won't stay on battlefield after a card is exiled. ect. no preformance decrease noticed, if anyone else notices one let me know.
format is as follows
HINT#combo hold(blah|myhand)^until(blah|mygraveyard)^until(blah|opponentshand)^restriction{type(creature|mybattlefield)~morethan~2}^cast(blah) targeting(blah|mygraveyard)^totalmananneeded({g}{g}{r}{u}{2})
the ai can be told to hold more then one card, until as many condiations as you want are met, until( is a TC and can basically be used in a fasion of saying "hold arbor elf until you have a lord of atlantas in play and a gaint growth in you hand"
once the condiations are met you can later tell it to cast(gaint growth) targeting(arbor elf[fresh]|mybattlefield)...
I also included the whole of the games restrictions system...
so you can get really really creative with this so far.
the next thing I will do is ability targeting and card favoring.
{x:black}
{x:color}
creating a snapshot of a card instance in garbage for stored cards, the issue with previous version was it was using base model value instead of what the storedcard was actually at the time it was in battlefield. example, animal boneyard test was coming up 1 toughness short becuase the creature storedcard pointed to was sent to graveyard for the sacrifice.
changed myStored TargetChooser to use storedSourceCard instead, as this is supposed to point to the actual card and not a snapshot.
moved init() from ManaCost to a private call
changed ManaPool method init() to Empty() to better represent what it does.
renamed ManaCost::reinit to resetCosts() as reinit sounds like your are returning the ManaCost object back to initial state which is not what happens. Only the cost related members are reset, the bool isMulti is left alone
which tells the ai not to use the targetible cards as attackers, this can be card names, and CD modes.
modified the way ai handles multikicker. it will not be casting 1/1 joragas anymore :D
made WParsedInt ignore "+" signs....
added a new affinity ability...autohand=affinity(creature[vampire]|mygraveyard) ....
this is essentially affinity for creatures in your grave.
added supkeyword to clone clone addtype(zombie)....it adds the type listed to the cards types on clone...
reparse PT bonus on resolve.
reworked bushido, it should now work correctly...aside from that it now excepts word variables...fumiko is now bushido(type:creature[attacking]:battlefield/type:creature[attacking]:battlefield)
added a keyword to access acontrolsteal..the keyword is "steal"
auto=ueot steal target(creature)
reworked persist to handle undying..added the new counter handling rules intruduced by wotc in ISD
added a vector cardsAbilities to mtgcardinstance...this keeps the abilities added to the game for a card to use stored where we can easly alter or remove them.
added an automatic increase to geteff return if the ability is a putinplay ability.
finished coding support for flip and double sided cards, though viewing the "other side" is still not possible yet.
the ability follows the mtg rules.
the ability syntax is flip(card name)...a card can flip into any other card by name...even flip into itself.
added a "canPay() call for Ninja cost...to prevent it from coming up in a menu unless you're in blockers....
added 3 new restriction types that work very similar to type(
thisturn(tc)~morethan~2
lastturn(tc)~lessthan~thisturn(tc)
compare(wordvarible)~equalto~compare(wordvarible)
these are pretty self explanitory.
moved "&&" ability parsing below "this(" allowing "this(" to grant abilities now which contain &&...enclave egologist bug is fixed by this.
fixed an issue with combatspirit link for some reason the way i was doing the bool was not always working.
took care of the todo for AProtectionFrom...you can now give a protection from(blah) in a instant or ueot ability.
added altho very limited right now a "targetedplayer" tc word. i hope to increase this with time.
as always my sidekick doc already has some cards coded for this and test will follow the addition of the cards.
[card]
name=Phyrexian Soulgorger
auto=cumulativeupcost[{S(creature|myBattlefield)}] sacrifice
text=Cumulative upkeep - Sacrifice a creature. (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.)
mana={3}
type=Snow Artifact Creature
subtype=Construct
power=8
toughness=8
[/card]
was only charging you 1 sacrifice per upkeep.
added thisTargetComparison, this(cantargetcard(targetchooser))...its a thisdescriptor that compares if the card can be targeted by a target chooser...
- fixed some issues in zstream that prevented to use "getline" in zipped streams
- added a "pooled buffers" system to keep a cache of file descriptors. This is potentially dangerous though, but shaves several seconds of loading time on the PSP. If problems arise on other platforms I'll make it a compilation parameter
- gracefully fail when calling manacost information on a not properly initialized mana cost
this cost type sends both the event for discard and the event for cycled trigger, it no longer automatically draws a card, that is part of this cost ability instead.
standard cycling is autohand={cycle}:draw:1 controller
its trigger is
auto=@cycled(*|myhand):damage:2 target(creature)
"whenever you cycle a card deal 2 damage to a target creature."
Included in a new modrules.xml tags.
<cardgui>
<background> Stores information concerning the colors </ background>
<renderbig> Stores information to draw the card </ renderbig>
<rendertinycrop> Stores information to draw the card </ rendertinycrop>
</ cardgui>
Change the variables array for vectors
- removed every references to the gameobserver singleton. This object can now be instantiated several times as it's needed for minmax. To be able to do that, I mostly added a reference to a gameobserver from any targetable object (cards, players, spells) and abilities.
added abilities:
proliferate
ProliferateChooser:new targetchooser for cards with counter and poison counters "proliferation".
MenuAbility:new internal ability to create custom menus of abilities which can be activated in sequence one after another.
multikicker, syntax kicker=multi{b}
works with variable word "kicked", the amount of times it was kicked.
target=<number>tc,target=<upto:>tc,target=<anyamount>tc,target(<number>tc),target(<upto:>tc),target(<anynumber>tc);
multitarget is now supported with the exception of "devided any way you choose" which can not be supported becuase we allow detoggling of targeted cards with a "second" click....so you can not click the same card 2 times to add it to the targets list twice for example.
this is minor, as the bulk of multitarget is not "devided"
removed 's' parsing for multitarget, added a limit of 1000 to "unlimited" for easier handling; we currently can't handle activation of an ability on a 1000 cards very well on any platform(infact i don't suggest it)
Countershroud(counterstring), this MTGAbility allows you to denote that a card can not have counters of the type "counterstring" put on it.
"any" is for no counters allowed at all. this is a replacement effect. cards state that they can still be the targets of counter effects, however on resolve nothing is placed on them instead.
@counteradded(counterstring) from(target):,@counterremoved(counterstring) from(target):: these are triggers for cards which state "whenever you add a counter of "counterstring" to "target"; added counterEvents struct;
other changes:
added support for ai handling of multitargeted spells.
changed a few of delete( into SAFE_DELETE(, safed up a couple areas where they did not seem safe to me;
added better handling of menus presented to ai, it will try to select the best based on eff returns.
added varible lastactioncontroller for ai use, it keeps it truely from ever tripping over itself and brings ai more inline with MTG rules.
converted TC into a protected member.
added "abilitybelongsto" string to tc, and set "owner" of the tc. a tc should never belong to "no one" it should always have a owner.
abilitybelongs to string is solely for easier debugging, i found it was a pain to never know what ability created a tc while i coded multitarget. the owner of the tc is the only one that should be using it, if an ability needs to declare the opponent as the owner (choose discard which is currently unsupported for example) this will allow us to better handle that situation by setting the tc owner in the ability which called it.
rewrote the logic of "checkonly" in ai choose targets, the only time it is "checkonly" is when it is trying to see if it had a target for a spell before it cast it, i now set this in the actual function call instead, the old method was far to error prone.
wrote logic for ai checking of menu objects presented to it,
ai will now make better choices when a menu is presented to it based on what it already knows. this changes it from it's old method of "just click the first option".
taught ai how to use multi-mana producers such as birds and duel lands by adding a method for it to find it's mana for a payment. it can effectively use cards like birds of paradise and sol ring(without locking up). It's primary method of pMana searching was maintain for performance(no need to deep search if we have it in pMana).
added a vector to actionlayer to store mana abilities for pMana. this provides us with a dramatic improvement when mana lords are present by reducing the amount of objects that need checking when ai checks pMana.
with 80 mana objects and a ton of lords one instance i checked went from 8000ish checks down to 80<===big difference.
added "tapped" green coloring(sorry i missed that!)...added red coloring to current actionLayers current action card (usually the source).
changed "type(" restrictions second amount from atoi into wparsedint for more flexiable coding.
add "&" parsing to CD targetchooser, removed "iscolorandcolor" variables and functions becuase they were a hack the real fix was this.
cretaure[dragon&black&blue] a creature that is a dragon, and black and also blue.
changed some of the ai computeactions and
removed unneeded gaurds in ai chooseblockers, they did more harm then good.
