-- zipFS has several limitations...
--- in a general way, seekg doesn't work... so getting a file's size needs to be done through JFileSystem.
--- getLine on files open with zipFS doesn't work so great. Not sure if it is a normal issue because files are open in binary or not... JFileSystem therefore offers a "readIntoString" function that needs to be used instead of the usual "getline" technique. However getLine can then be used on a stream connected to the string.
-- tested on Windows and PSP, I also made sure android still works, but haven't tested zip support on Android.
-- I tried to maintain backwards compatibility, but this might break on some platforms, if I broke some platforms and you can't find a way to fix them, please contact me and we'll figure something out
-- This removes wagic::ifstream. I didn't reimplement the securities that were involved in this, apologies for that. Might be useful to reimplement such securities in JFileSystem
-- I haven't tested options/profiles in a deep way, it is possible I broke that.
this update requires you to update your rules folder files!!!
2nd
added 2 new vanguard game modes.
Stone Hewer Basic - when ever a creature enters play, a random equipment with a converted mana cost less than or equal to that creature is put into play and attached to it.
this mode is unlockable, requirement = win a match where 10 or more equipment were in the battlefeild at the moment you won.
Hermit Druid basic- in this game mode, during each of the players upkeeps, a random land card from their deck is placed into the battlefield, these do not count against your 1 land per turn limit.
to unlock this, win any match with less then 10 lands.
- 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 !!!
- added 2 menus to wait for connection and wait for deck selection
- tested compilation on Qt Linux, Qt Windows and PSP
- deactivated everywhere (NETWORK_SUPPORT to activate).
- Added method to build a card collection independently of the GUI to ease my unitary test application
- Added part of some network GUI I'm working on, it's #ifdef out, I'm only committing this part to ease later merges
- Added the beginning of a serialization code of the Player and related classes used for network support
- various other minor cleanup
This btw points out another circular dependancy between the texture and the JQuad - a texture owns a bunch of JQuads, yet the renderer uses JQuads and always assumes that the texture is valid. We're going to need to add more defensiveness to JGE to protect against this.
Other changes in this check-in: WResourceManager doesn't derive from JResourceManager anymore. It actually didn't require anything from the base, so I killed the dependency. Also cleaned up the notion of a WTrackedQuad in the WCachedResource - it didn't need a separate class, just a better container.
I've build this & tested against PSP, win, linux, QT (linux). I haven't tried against iOS and QT Win, or Maemo. If these other platforms are broken, I apologize in advance! - I'm hoping it should be fairly simple to put them back into play.
finishing up my reformatting of the source from November/December following the guidelines that were posted.
some extra things I added:
* Any empty virtual declarations were kept to one line.
* Enums were split up into separate lines to promote uniformity across all headers. ( each header file had a different style for enums)
1) Consolidated the Loggers so that we only have one in JGE. Added a helper constructor/destructor to the JLogger class so that you can instantiate one at the top of a function, it'll trace out a 'start' and 'end' message when it goes in & out of scope.
2) Fixed the crash part of a bug I've been chasing down where, on the psp, after saturating the cache, the game dies when trying to reload the background PNG image of the deck menu. We still need to fix the root cause of the failure (not enough memory to allocate a temporary buffer for the swizzle operation), but at least the psp doesn't lock up anymore. I've also left behind all the log traces I inserted into the LoadPNG code, since we'll probably need them again.
Also fixed the project includes so that we don't need to always use the indirect include path, ie:
#include "../include/foo.h" -> #include "foo.h"
I'm don't know much about make files - if I busted the linux build, mea culpa, but I think we're okay on that front too. For future reference, here's the most straightforward link on the topic of adding pch support to make files:
http://www.mercs-eng.com/~hulud/index.php?2008/06/13/6-writing-a-good-makefile-for-a-c-project
- bug fix in JGE++ audio (improve HBL compatibility)
- Added new rewards in story mode: random card, card (either by "name" or id), specific set
- Story mode: added possibility to choose music, and bg for duel.
-- See "01. Where it all begins" for examples of new features
- fix issue 392 (broken tests)
- Fix a bunch of memory leaks (guys please be careful!)
- Added Logging facility in JGE
- HBL Compatibility (cleaned up some code with MP3 in JGE)
- Added "winGame" ability. Currently used mostly by the story mode, but some cards could probably need it too
- Improved story mode and uncommented it from the source.
-- The current campaign is of course very basic, anybody who wants to improve it or create other ones feel free to do so
-- TODO (short term): save progress, rewards system, improve tutorial campaign
-- I'll talk a bit more about this on the forums/email after a night of sleep
- Adding (dead) code for Story mode. This is FAR from being ready so it's deactivated in the code. I just don't want to create a branch (I'm lazy) and I'm fed up with synching. My Goal is to have a tutorial ready with this for the release after this one. If you want to test it (Note: the sample story is not interesting at ALL), just look for "Story mode" and uncomment (3 occurrences). PSP Or Linux need additions to the Makefile...
Added basic transition system that works with GameApp's phases. Currently does a fade-out between elements, which works well in some places and not-so-well in others. We'll definitely want to think about where and where not to use it... they'd work a lot better if we could spawn a thread to handle loading the next state while transitioning.
Also cleaned up the shop a bit, so it uses ReadButton() instead of GetButtonClick()-- hence the slight change to JGE. Added a tiled image for the task board, which loads conservatively (I tried 128x128, but it didn't look as good).
-fixed a memory leak
- Added P02 and PTK
- New way to create tokens in the parser, much more flexible, see the Hive in RV. Tokens can now be written as other cards, with a rarity of "T". I suggest their id to be the negative value of the card that generates them when possible. Naming convention for images is the same as before: a negative id such as -1138 will need a [id]t.jpg image (1138t.jpg). Positive ids work as "normal" pictures
This is pretty major, so there'll probably be something wrong with it... even though I did spend a few hours looking.
NOTES:
* If you've Retrieved it, don't delete it--- Use resources.Release(Whatever).
Textures automatically release subordinate quads.
* Most of the time, use resources.RetrieveQuad to grab a quad. Should handle everything for you.
RetrieveQuad will load the required texture, if needed.
Only managed resources have a resource name ("back", "simon", etc).
Managed resources can be retrieved with GetTexture/GetQuad/GetWhatever.
Non managed quads lookup by position/dimensions, defaulting to the whole texture.
* Use resources.RetrieveTexture only when you need to do something special to it.
Calling retrieve texture with RETRIEVE_MANAGE will permanently add a texture to the manager
RETRIEVE_LOCK and RETRIEVE_VRAM will lock a texture. It will not leave the cache until
Release(JTexture*) is called, or as a last resort during cache overflow.
* Try to only store (as a class member) pointers to textures retrieved with RETRIEVE_MANAGE.
All others may become invalid, although locked textures do have a high degree of stability. It's
pretty safe to store a locked texture if you're not going to load much between uses.
There's a lot going on here, so I might have missed something... but it runs through the test suite alright.
TODO:
* When called without any arguments, RetrieveQuad sometimes leaves a thin border around the image.
This can be bypassed by specifying a quad one or two pixels less than the image size. Why?
* I've had a crash while runing the Demo mode, something to do with receiveEventMinus?
This hasn't exactly reproduced on a clean SVN copy, (being a hang, rather than a crash) so
I've probably done something to worsen the problem somehow? I'll look into it tomorrow.
* Clean up lock/unlock system, memory usage. Streamline interface, consider phasing out calls using GetWhatever() format.
* New interface.
* This breaks a lot of things. It is not feature-equivalent. It
probably doesn't compile under windows and doesn't work on PSP.
* Damage is not resolved any more. This will have to be fixed.
* Blockers can't be ordered any more. This will have to be fixed.
* A lot of new art is included.
- fixed a bug (crash if a card that had an ability until end of turn would be put into the graveyard before the end of the turn)
- Added a new game Mode : Random 1 or 2 color.
- Fixed MP3 play bug on the psp. MP3 files need to have NO Id3v2 tag, or they won't play. Also, volume control is broken
- added dt to moving W's easter egg movement.
- Added fullscreen for windows version
- other stuff ?
