so i converted it from string comparisons and counting the battlefield..into targetchoosers with declarable operator.
simplified the code from the mess it was before into something alot easier to card code with.
example before:
mytypemin:less type(land),opponenttypemin:* type(land)
becomes
type(land|mybattlefield)~lessthan~type(land|opponentbattlefield)
the new syntax is:
type(targetchooser)~operator~number
type(targetchooser)~operator~type(targetchooser)
the operator are:
morethan
lessthan
equalto
1) prevent the textureQuad map from containing references to cards when we're returning a temp (card backdrop) image in the threaded version.
2) we had two copies of the pspicon image in the cache (ie the regular & managed). Changed the reference in the DeckMenu code to use the managed instance.
3) Fixed a problem with a default constructor param that would set RESOURCE_LOCKED on certain images. I noticed that the 'NEW' image was locking itself in the cache because no resource modes was being passed in, so the default constructor param was setting it to locked. This seems like a bad idea - if you're not explicitly locking a resource in the call, that shouldn't be the default behaviour.
Also added an assert safeguard to catch the possibility of 'overlocking' an image resource, as this probably means the image fetching routine is being abused somehow.
this is basically one activation for the existence of the trigger, meaning if it is used on a card, and the trigger exist for inplay, it will only activate one time while that card is inplay, it will activate again if the card leaves play and is put back in play again by another effect,
this was originally added for cards such as the hidden enchantment cycle.
-- Tutorial Messages are an ability like any other, except it can only be displayed once. Subsequent calls are ignored, the ability is removed from the game as soon as it is added
-- This allows to add event triggered messages ingame. Messages are either text, or images (I don't have an image sample, but rules/classic.txt has a few examples that might help)
-- only tested on Windows, although I made sure the PSP version compiles. Hopefully I also made the necessary for it to work in the touch version (touching the screen should be enough to close the tuto message)
-- Room for improvement: possibility to choose a title in text mode, possibility to have some messages depending on others (e.g.: don't show message X until message Y has been shown), improve some of the abilities and triggers to give more flexibility, add events outside of game, to allow tuto messages in deck creator, etc...
Faceless Devourer - It should not be able to target itself
Sunscape Familiar - abilities=flying -> defender
diamond valley - Sacrifice only creatures you control
Vow of Lightning - typo in the name
Sporeback Troll - fixed mana cost
Crovax the Cursed - fixed card text
TBD: right now every up finger generates this event. We probably want to throttle it to only be an event if the velocity exceeds some arbitrary threshold; similarly, if we generate a flick event, we probably don't want to simultaneously generate a finger up action (ie JGE_BTN_OK).
ie:
Card Name:
Quick Sliver
Mana Cost:
Converted Mana Cost:2
Types:Creature — Sliver
Card Text:Flash
Any player may cast Sliver cards as though they had flash.
without an over-ride testdestroy removes the observer before it can be any use to us.
i only enabled this for the lords/this'es....
(One could argue that this ID is completely meaningless and could be entirely ripped out, as the IDs obviously never made it to their intended target...)
