(I actually spent half an hour fiddling with my first interruption script, because the tutorial on the blog doesn't mention the any command to end interrupt sequences. Then I checked the "Counterspell" script, was happy to find the "endinterrupt" keyword, and fiddled for another 30 minutes with it before I found out that this keyword is actually wrong and the parser doesn't understand it at all, it just so happens that the Counterspell script (and two others) work nevertheless because in these scripts the interruption doesn't need to end. I wholeheartedly agree with the passage in wololo's mail in which he says that we could use a "real" test suite tutorial / reference.
Also added two scripts that don't demonstrate bugs (apparently the bug reports that I used to write the scripts were either false or outdated). nevertheless it doesn't hurt to have these scripts in the test suite, it prevents us from breaking something for the respective cards in the future and not noticing it.
The script fear_i147.txt has been moved into the "generic" folder and added to the regular test sequence for the same reason.
Also fixed the script generic/tokens.txt. It was referencing The Hive once via name and once via ID. This caused problems when (unofficial) Beta edition _cards.dat was installed.
- Displaying title for each page
- In screen showing games against AI, displaying actual number of games won/played in addition to percentage
- Added two new screens (3,4) - mana cost/color breakdown for creatures (3) and non-creature spells (4)
More to come...
Please note that I don't plan to update this file for future Wagic versions, so if anybody wants to take over, please do. :)
Some files were updated in the process:
- CardGui.cpp - exposed the card rarity info on the alternate render cards to the translation engine. Also switched the color of said info to white on green and blue cards, imho they are much easier to read now.
- GameStateDeckViewer.cpp - exposed the term "Collection" (shown under the scrollbar) to the translation engine.
- GuiPhaseBar.cpp - exposed the strings denoting "your turn", "opponent's turn", "you play", "opponent plays", to the translation engine.
- SimplePad.cpp - exposed the special keys ("Spacebar", "Confirm" etc.) to the translation engine. Had to increase the keypad width to make room for "Abbrechen" (Cancel). I couldn't translate it differently because there's also a *spell* called cancel, and to have a different translation in SimplePad, I would have had to change the official German name of the Cancel spell, which wasn't an option.
- MTGAbility.cpp - exposed the words from which the text of mana-producing abilities is constructed to the translation engine. Please review this one and suggest a better solution - the one I chose is somewhat awkward. The translation works, but when the whole translated sentence is constructed and gets returned, the calling procedure tries to translate it again (all other ability descriptions work this way, translation takes place *after* the string has been returned). However, for mana producing abilities this doesn't work, since the costructed string can take an infinite number of diffeent forms, depending on the mana produced, and we can't translate that. Hence I chose to translate the individual words during construction, with the described side effect that the engine now tries to translate them again later in the process (and the sentence ends up in missing.txt).
- Also, cheat mode menu items now aren't denoted by the ugly "(cheat)" appended to them, instead they are enclosed by asterisks. Uses less space.
- "Fix" issue 152. Please review. There is an extra cost when loading the shop...could probably be improved...the image is huge, and it's a png (so no 5551 improvement here...should we switch to a jpeg ?)

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?
* The horsemanship ability literally required only one line of code, and could add an additional ~36 cards to Dr. Solomat's PT3 set. It seems functional, but someone please double check it anyways, as I've not worked with much of the actual game code yet.
- Added -O2 option in the PSP Makefile. In my tests, this highly increases the probability of getting a purple screen. Fixing this bug is THE priority :)
Yes, the card still does not for 100% do what the original card should do, but as long as no one will enchant a land of its own everything will be alright.
