- "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 ?)
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.
This needs some impact testing, to be certain it doesn't noticeably slow anything down. In a future version I'd like to memoize checking for zip file existence in each "Res/sets/XXX/" directory once during boot, and in the themed directory whenever switching themes.
Note: I used Google to match our deck descriptions with existing card flavor texts, and then used Google again to check whether the text was in the public domain (the fact that a verse from the Rime of the Ancient Mariner appears on the Scathe Zombies card, does obviously not preclude us from using Coleridge's work ourselves). I may have missed something in wither process, please report if I did.
For the time being, this is unfortunately a loss in quality, since the official flavor texts were obviously better than the replacement texts I thought up in a few minutes. Feel free to replace my texts with something better. This could be original work of yours, or something that's clearly in the public domain. The latter includes classical literature and poetry btw. We already have Milton, Browning, and Coleridge in the flavor texts, and we could certainly use more of that. Unfortunately I've read about 100 SciFi/Fantasy books for every book of classical poetry I even touched, so I'm in a bad position to provide such material, but perhaps someone else can.
I discussed this change with wololo beforehand, because it required changes to decks that weren't made by me.
Please review / criticize.
* In GuiBackground, we now load and use all of backdrop.jpg. This is for effects like that in Jade. It's an extremely minor change, so shouldn't effect stability.
-fix issue mentioned at http://wololo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=371&p=6296#p6296 . I touched a very sensitive area of the code so please let me know if something goes wrong with this revision with spells or abilities that involve targets and/or sacrifice
* I've tried to keep the same kind of luminosity as the old backdrop.jpg, and matched the psuedo-jade to the colors of the phase icons. I'm still not certain what to do with wood/gold/goldglow, as they clash terribly.
* The whole "recessed playarea" thing was inspired by the recent forum posts of Kaioshin.
