After weeks of hard work, I can proudly present you this huge package of cards, based only on already existing card code elements.
Some examples and important notes:
- Cards that get buried if you don't fulfill a condition
1. when they enter the battlefield (Hidden Horror[WEL]; Mercenary Knight, Thundering Wurm [both POR])
2. during your upkeep (Endless Wurm[USG]).
- Cards that allow to draw a card, then discard a card when entering the battlefield or damaging an opponent (Owl Familiar[POR], Looter il-Kor[TSP]).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Those cards work only correctly because the draw effect resolves before the discard effect.
Instants and Sorceries with such effects or permanents that have an activation cost for drawing, then discarding a card won't work because the two effects don't trigger in the correct order.
- Land cycle from Visions and Planeshift (both very puzzling, but working perfectly!)
I also updated World enchantments (tested & working, see rules for them in Gatherer!)
Several card fixes.
If you have any questions, post them! ;)
- IMPORTANT: Legendary is not an ability anymore, creating cards with super types should be much more natural. You can now say "type=Snow Land", and stuff like that. No backward compatibility!!!
Limitations:
- Operators for "greater than", "less than", "unequal" have not been implemented, but if a card actually needs them, you can use a preceding minus sign to negate a comparison. Example: -power=3 means "power not equal to 3", -toughness<=3 means "toughness>3".
- You can't use spaces when specifying such restrictions. Write "power<=3" instead of "power <= 3"
- You now need to use a space before the "<" and ">" commands that count the matches for lord(), foreach(), all() and aslongas(). So far we always did use spaces in front of them without actually needing to, now we need to.
- manacost restrictions don't take "X" costs into account. Example: Mistmeadow Skulkin (FUT) has protection from manacost>=3. Blaze has a converted manacost of 1, but when you cast it with an X of 2, then it actually has a converted manacost of 3 while on the stack, and Mistmeadow Skulkin would be protected from it, but currently it isn't.
Please review the code, I'll add a few remarks/questions of my own.
- 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
- 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.
-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
- removed useless "color=" lines
- Added color override for cards such as crimson kobolds (note: color should be after the "mana" line to avoid side effects)
NOTE that all these additions to the foreach parser are only available for the "inplay" area... "countcards" will need to be updated in order to have thing such as graveyard or hand to be taken into consideration (but when it will be done cards such as Spontaneous Generation - MRQ, could be added)
Also updated (tentatively) the "cantbeblockedby" in the parser it still does not work...ARG... but I can feel that I'm not far away from the solution...
We need also to go through some of the cards.dat to be sure we are not missing any possible addition ...
POR - Removed Man'O'War + Added Hulking Cyclops, Hulking Goblin, Nature's Cloak, Gravedigger, Fire tempest, Dry Spell,Craven Knight, Craven Giant (sorry for this addition could not refrain after seeing them, were probably forgotten)
TMP - removed Cloudchaser eagle
LEG - Corrected Concordant Crossroad
USG - Removed Dark Hatchling, Monk realist
RAV - REmoved Keening Banshee, also tentative to fix Tolsimir Wolfblood (legendary is not working)
EVE - REmoved Noggle Bridgebreaker
Also made an update and added silly name for AI deck + note that deck 22 is using cards from morningtide and deck 23 cards that the AI do not use correctly (activated abilities) but is not the only one, AI decks needs update/amelioration.
- 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
