* Fix a bug where the closest card to the old coordinates of a no more
inplay card would be chosen regardless of whether it complies with the
user's request.
* updated daily build
* Card spoiler now sorts by collector's number.
* Metadata looks for "[m" (for speed reasons), I've been using "[meta]" in files. No sets currently use metadata.
Eventually, the WDataSource stuff will need to be analyzed more in depth. WSrcMTGSet is very similar (though simplified) in functionality to the deck data wrapper stuff.
- fix issue 153 (Tokens should go to graveyard)
- "token" keyword can now be used in the parser with things such as Creature[-token] for "noncreature token"
- Let's stop using "token" as a type
- 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!!!
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).
- 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...
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.
* Fix a bug where valid directories would be ignored and invalid ones
would be accepted for profiles and themes.
* Fix a compilation fault when compiling in debug mode.
- Loading the "awardback.jpg" file in 16bits instead of 32. This should extremely reduce the probability of crashes (issue 247)
- Added some error debug message for the test suite when a card cannot be found
Note: If you design the layout of a screen, please keep in mind that translators usually need more space than the English terms do, English is a very space-efficient language. I found that I sometimes have to resort to suboptimal translations because the better ones don't fit into the space reserved for them.
Note 2: I've heard about problems with characters taking up a different amount of screen space on Windows and the PSP, so could someone check whether the German texts are inside their boundaries on the PSP? I can only test on Windows.
