New rules based on vanguard, 3 new random game modes, one is tribal and one uses any card in the game.
Several corrections and bugs fixes. Cards with x in their cost and that can target any player used to crash the game.
Teaching AI new things and changing values of efficiency.
You can have multiple "Jace" planeswalkers, you can't have two of the exact same name (no two Jace, the mind sculptor).
for formatting text on booster shop, we pass the desired length from
getformatted text with noremove(no removal of {}) enabled, if its not
enabled then default the value to zero(passing zero means use the
default values)
- fixed -Werror=misleading-indentation warning
- fixed -Werror=nonnull-compare warning on xll and QT builds
- PNG_LIBPNG_VER backward compatibily changes
- giflib backward compatibily changes
- resolved some undefs for X11 build
- silenced some small compile warnings in JGE Makefile
- added -DTIXML_USE_STL to remaining build types (PSP had it added)
- fixed x11 Boost incompatibility issue part of #548
- reworked PrecompiledHeader.h platforms used
added aicode for cards that uses reveal. since reveal cancels for ai,
aicode is the alternative code. use basic code only.
aicode=activate dosomething...
aicode - use with caution, its very basic atm and you must test each
card that uses it as it can cause crash.
legendary rule moved to game state based effect so it will not conflict
with cards with copy effects and andability. the legendary check applies
only when legendrule is found.
currently we have kamiflip as the only defined flip type as it is treated differently from the others.
but we have room for more if needed now
doublefaced=kamiflip
sets the flip type of a card to the kamiflip style cards. since this is defined on cardprimitive level now, we might be able to do something different from the flipping animation. who knows.
commented out the forcing token triggers, it bypass targetchooser check. still working on a fix for this coming soon.
There exists bool CardInstance::hasSubtype(const string& _subtype) and the
const char* version converts _subtype into string deeper in the call
hierarchy anyway. So both methods did the same.
auto=replacedraw choice damage:2
auto=replacedraw choice draw:2 noreplace
notice noreplace exempts the draw from sending a draw event. draw events and drawn events are seperate events.
added dredge and it's rules.
[card]
name=Dakmor Salvage
auto=tap
auto={t}:add{b}
dredge=dredge(2)
text=Dakmor Salvage enters the battlefield tapped. -- {T}: Add {B} to your mana pool. -- Dredge 2 (If you would draw a card, instead you may put exactly two cards from the top of your library into your graveyard. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand. Otherwise, draw a card.)
type=Land
[/card]
taught ai when not to play a planeswalker, told ai to look for planeswalkers as a card type to play.
fixed a crash related to tokens and cardgui..tokens dont have models....
made a 1 line change to deckveiwer that makes it usable on touch devices and improves the overall look and feel of deckveiwer....
counter{}
so you can get a count of a certain counter on a card
the next consist of parts using the same targetchooser method as type:
power:
toughness:
convertedcost:
followed by ---
highest:
lowest:
followed by targetchooser
blah:mybattlefield
so if i want highest converted cost of creatures i control..
convertedcost:highest:creature:mybattlefield
also added an internal ability to reuse and display flying text with a string passed to it.
Included in a new modrules.xml tags.
<cardgui>
<background> Stores information concerning the colors </ background>
<renderbig> Stores information to draw the card </ renderbig>
<rendertinycrop> Stores information to draw the card </ rendertinycrop>
</ cardgui>
Change the variables array for vectors
- rewrote some code dealing with text formatting for a card when rendering in text mode. I could swear my code has been reverted. If somebody has good reason to believe we should re-process the string formatting on every frame, please let me now. I believe my change can help rendering speed of text mode a lot.
- counters change to vector instead of array
2nd, removed a peice of code which was originally added i imagine before list mentioner was created which added cards whos names ended in "s" to the subtypes list, this is completely unrelated to the "s" charector added to targetchooser. this was actually a really nasty hack....
previous subtypes list contained 1200 variables...the new one after this removel is about 237ish....
this does not impact foreach, or any targetchoosers ability to target a card by name, targetchooser is coded to add card names to the subtypes list as it needs them, so using foreach(arbor elf) will add this to subtypes list for targeting purposes, in the future we might want to have this kind of check done and handled outside of the subtypes list, adding card names to that list for the purpose of targeting is just dirty.
this fixes a ugly lag spike introduced with the change to subtypes...for now...we need to consider a better way to sort these in the future to avoid this returning as subtypeslist gets bigger.
- Added Evil Presence, as an example of the new keywords loseabilities and losesubtypes. It's quite experimental but I added 3 tests that cover the basics. Please report if you find bugs.
- moved the "lands produce mana" rules outside of the primitives, and into the external rules. This was a necessary step to create cards such as Evil Presence.
- real support for subtypes. Needs some more testing, but there are now functions in Subtypes.cpp to know if a given subtype is a creature subtype, or a land subtype, etc...
- minor refactor of MTGDeck.cpp
Notes:
- I checked that the AI can still use lands
- This change has a bad impact on primitives loading performance (thanks Wil for the loading time output). This is probably due to suboptimal algorithms and data structures for subtypes. If the impact is strong on lowend devices, I can probably optimize a bit (the map subtypesOf could be changed into a vector with some work)
- The test suite passes, added 3 tests for evil presence.
I also profiled this after the fact, as we have an open bug on poor drawing performance on psp when in text mode - it turns out that in the AlternateRender() function, my numbers look like this: 10.2 seconds were spent in JBLFont::DrawString(); 0.5 seconds were spent in my new helper FormatText() call, so we know where the perf hit is now.
I compared before & after on the psp with this mod, and the difference really isn't perceptible. (It's still juddery, but no worse than before.) I'll look at the DrawString() call next to see if we can make it any faster, although at first glance it looks like a pain.
class Foo
#ifdef TRACK_OBJECT_USAGE
: public InstanceCounter<Foo>
#endif
Then, use this macro somewhere in the class body:
SUPPORT_OBJECT_ANALYTICS(Foo)
Lastly, add whatever information you want to trace out to the function ObjectAnalytics::DumpStatistics().
Here's a sample of the output of what I've instrumented so far:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Object Usage Stats
CardPrimitive current count: 7899
CardPrimitive current byte usage: 2053740
CardPrimitive max count: 7908
CardPrimitive max byte usage: 2056080
MTGCard current count: 13973
MTGCard current byte usage: 670704
MTGCard max count: 13982
MTGCard max byte usage: 671136
MTGCardInstance current count: 180
MTGCardInstance current byte usage: 172080
MTGCardInstance max count: 189
MTGCardInstance max byte usage: 180684
-----------------------------------------------------------
Also fixed a subtle memory pooling issue in the RenderCountersBig() routine: if you're in regular card display mode, the idea is that formatted text is only fetched if you flip into alternate render mode. However, in this function, if counters are being drawn, it would fetch the formatted text in order to determine where to draw the counters, EVEN IF the counters count was zero. So it had nothing to draw, but it meanwhile pooled the formatted strings into memory anyway.
recoded altercost, its finally not using a dirty clean up.
this fixes the bug with it not effecting ai also and the bug where it was ineffective when combined with affinity creatures...
removed a aspect of the wolf class...
soft coded support for aspect of the wolf...using word variable subkeyword "halfup" and "halfdown"
it can go anywhere a parsable word vairable is stringing...i preffer the front of it...
these are Wparsedint subkeywords, not keywords you can use with standard abilities...
its meant to return half the varible rounds up, or down...
fixed player not losing with cantlifelose when they have 10 or more poison...the player should die.
reworked taplandformana, i send the main card as a target now, check against the cost if its affordable...anyways, i discussed this bool function a while back with devs and wololo saw the same issues i saw in it...he then removed it from being used as an if statement...i changed it back to an if statement with the new checks...we are either going to go back to a void, or go all the way bool, but not inbetween.
========================================
added a function to return the action element id by mtgcardinstance.
=======================================
refactored all 5 combat triggers to be handled in a single class, this change helps reduce the "bits and pieces" of trigger restrictions which some did support while others didnt, it also allows for easier editing and debugging if future code needs to be added to it.
refactored the parsing for the combat triggers also, so that a combat trigger can be built from a single object if it only contains "or"...amongst other reasons.
the new syntax is auto=@combat(blocking,attacking,turnlimited,once) source(TC) from(TC):effect...all the same words are still used, except they are now all included inside the combat(-----) this includes restrictions for the triggers. if a card still needs multiple triggers from some reason...it is still 100% allowed to have as many as you want, with whatever you want inside them...check updated primitive for examples.
the required sections are auto=@combat(atleast one trigger) source(TC):effect.
=========================================
moved the limitsperturn "limit:" from genericactivatedability up to its parent class activatedability, did this for the following reason
first rules correction, the previous method tracked uses on resolve, which is incorrect, it should count as the ability is fired and placed on the stack.
second, it keeps all the actiavted ability restrictions in the same place, this is the location we are checking summoning sickness, actived restrictions such as "myturnonly" ect. makes sense to handle it in the parent.
third, it allow any and all future activated abilities easy access to "limit:" if needed, it would only require adding a limit string to pass on construction to the child classes instead of recoding the same exact checks as genericactivated.
=======================================================
reworked "name(" so that it no longer is required to be used inside a "&&" ability, also it no longer will create a MTGAbility object with a false return. that was just dirty of me :/
enabled "name(" to replace the menutext of alternative cost.
"other={cost} name(holy cow)"
will display "holy cow" instead of "pay alternative cost", this change is nice because we ended up using "other" cost for WAY more then originally planned...now we can label it exactly what it should say when you click it.
======================================================
added a subtype keyword for powertoughnessmodifier so that you can basically switch on non-static variables for it...lifetotal/lifetotal nonstatic...PT can now except all word variables as i added reparsing of the ints, had to maintain old methods as ai needs them to decide what to do with them.
======================================================
removed the following extremely redundant classes
both ABecomes classes---atransformer has become far superior to it, i kept the "becomes(" parsing tho, and it will act exactly as it use to, except now it has access to most of the subkeywords of transforms...it also now allows word variables. and excepts "forever" as a tag. added "newcolor" subkeyword to transforms to create the "becomes(" adding a color without removing colors effect. "becomes(" now returns a constructor for ATransformer that emulates becomes( exactly as it worked before.
both forevertransformer classes, the only difference between the 2 was one subkeyword, and "forever" did not return a "destroy()"...i recreated this in less then 4 lines and a bool. that was sloppy of me :( i guess we learn and improve.
============================================================================
i removed the parsing of card casting restriction from the first pass when cards load, instead of making it a cardprimitive object, i now simply pass the string through the card and build the restrictions when theyre actually needed and checked.
this change allowed for alot of clean up, removing enum and dependancy on cardprimitive, and combining both allowedAltCast and allowedtocast functions checks through a new function "parseCastRestrictions"...this change keeps all the cast resrictions in a single place, which makes it easier to debug or add if needed, and while i was at it, i enabled it so cards can now contain as many restrictions as you want *of the available ones*
added "turn:" as a restriction to make it so "fourth turn" could actually be ANY turn you list, this allowed me to remove a dirty line of code which was checking if a card was o converted cost but had a suspend...lotus bloom...which can not be cast normally..for cards like this now you can use restriction=turn:200 or otherrestriction=turn:200....
=========================================================================
added Phyrexian Mana...svntax {p(r)} ....this will always be payable with 2 life, but if you have a red mana for this example, it will charge you the red mana instead...you can have any combination of P mana you want in any of the games manacost.
===================================================
reworked a bit of the ai logic i added, it now has true interrupting and can now correctly target for fizzles, Ai will go into full out counterspell wars with you now...
===================================================
added a ingame reward system with fancy flying text animations, they reward the player with actual credits, but are extremely hard to trigger off, theyre not meant to be something you see every 5 secs, but something that when you see them trigger you go "damn that was cool"
the triggers and effects are as follows
first the combo system:
you have to chain cast 5 or more card, without tapping or being interupted, tiny bonus for this..chain is broken as soon as you or your opponent tap something.
next combo level is
Abundant Resources - chain 10 or more spells same condition
then
killer - chain 15 or more same condition
this will include a flying text render once a chain is successfully started (5+ cast)
this bonus can be triggered multiple times in a match
the next bonus is
+ //creatures entering play consecutively will allow you a chance
+ //to gain a bonus for maintaining force sizes, it will trigger every 10th
+ //creature which enters play consecutively.
this is restarted every time a noncreature enters play.
the levels are as follows,
Deadly Force Bonus! -10 creatures enter play consecutively
Extreme Infantry Bonus! - 10 creatures enter play consecutively and you maintain a force size of 20+
Malignant Conqueror Bonus! -10 creatures enter play consecutively and you maintain a force size of 40+
this can only be triggered once per level per match.
next bonus is given for having alot of a specific type come into play under your control during a match, this bonus only triggers once per match.
the levels are:
Toy Collector!
Beast Tamer!
Vampire King!
Lord of Swarms!
Master of Elements!
Zombie Apocalypse!
Sword And Shield!
Medic!
The Promenade!
Heavenly Host!
Teeth And Scales!
its pretty easy to figure out what each requires to trigger, teeth and scales for example is dragons, wurms, drakes, and snakes.
the final bonus is deal 100 damage from a single source in a single damage event, this one triggers only once per match.
============================================================
fixed the following bugs::::
regenerate was not working for non-creature regeneration ie:welding jar
ai would sometime get stuck in a infinate loop tho extremely rarely while deciding what to do, the cause
if (clickstream.empty())
computeActions();
is NOT enough...ai should NEVER be computing actions (finding a card or ability to play) when it is NOT the active player..meaning, it does not have priority.
g->currentlyActing() is the player that has priority.
if (clickstream.empty() && g->currentlyActing() == this)...loop fixed :)
dynamicability had a couple weird results, from sources which dont have an amount to return, i now check this and if non, the amount is 0.
transformer will no longer add the same types a card already has..
removed an unneeded
if (!activated) ....oris bug seems to be corrected with this change.
wrapped limitsperturn checks in a conditional to skip it if there is no limit string.
added safer method to get the target of the combat trigger. the previous could potentially cause a crash if you interrupted the ability while the combat trigger was on the stack, it would do a call to "getnextopponent" and return a null pointer. i now send the opponent with the event.
fixed a crash that would happen when a card did not have a type= line. having a type or subtype line is now optional. and highly recommended to avoid using "type=nothing"
moved a function call in buyback isreactingtoclick so that it checks if its in the hand before parsing the restrictions for it.
removed allowedtocast function calls from the alternative payment types, they are only supposed to check allowedtocast if it is something like "buyback" and kicker...not "you may pay this instead"....
corrected an issue with type: variable where it would add the amount depending on the activeplayer. to correct i added a method to call TargetZoneChooser::targetsZone( with a mSource...so that you can set the source card for the scan.
note: all test pass.
