- minor fix in Zethfox cards addon (Bad lines error from parser)
- Zethfox's patch for {t(target)} as an extra Cost. Works the same way as sacrifice, check Azami, Lady of Scrolls for an example
- fixed compilation on the PSP (sorry!)
* Add the confirmation screen for bindings.
- Add support for asking confirmations before exiting the menu.
- Add support for cancelling saving of options.
- Add support for requesting focus when the parent allows to yield.
* Recenter most options' text.
* Change the background color of the selected options (else, there is
no way of knowing where is the cursor when both option text and
option value are icons).
* Change symbol names to their equivalent PSP icon use in wagic.
* This finalizes the functionality for key bindings.
* Key bindings are saved in the user's configuration file and read
back the next time.
* Still got to do : display, instead of a number, an icon on PSP and a
string on windows (linux/mac already done).
* The key bindings now display (semi-)correctly.
- Here, "semi-" means the local keys display as a string under X and
a number everywhere else. The number is all but helpful and will
have to be replaced before it is usable, but at the moment, the
code is stable afaik.
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).
- fix a memory leak with "Prevent All combat damages" ability
- Fix issue 242 (Equip can be used outside of the main phases)
- introducing "attach" keyword. Same as equip but can be used anytime. Untested
- introducing "asSorcery" keyword. Can be used the same way as "myTurnOnly" on activated abilities to restrict their usage. Untested. Other similar keywords will follow, please let me know which ones would be useful
- Fix issue 144 (Sound is either 0 or 100%), for PSP ONLY. The methods are now here for linux/windows, but only the music volume method will work currently, and it sets the volume globally. Patch by Yeshua with some cleanup by myself.

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?
- Updated credits, please let me know if I misspelled your name, or if I forgot someone you think is important (don't feel offended if I did, I have bad memory)
* Confirmable options used to only check for confirmation when selecting another option. They now autoconfirm when saving & exiting. This bug could possibly result in loading the wrong theme. Fixed.
* Changing profiles, canceling, then changing to the profile again could also result in improper theme loading. Fixed.
* The alternate theme is just useful for testing themes, but please comment on the changes to the main theme.
* Options reading and initializing separated from UI.
* Options UI abstracted a bit, made more easily extensible.
* With some extension, the options UI could be used as the basis for more complicated themes, if we load a file and use it to do stuff like GameStateOptions::Start()
- fix issue 65 (quads when no image load slowly in shop/deck editor)
- Possibly fix issue 92, please let me know if it reproduces
- Fix issue 97 (Deck editor: weird behavior of deck display)
- Fix issue 39 - please verify
- Issue 56 can probably be closed as well
- Fix issue 86
-Issue 26: added an option for Mana Display. This needs a bit testing, but it should also lower the priority of "manapool slowness" as this mode probably fixes performance issue as well.
-I can't seem to be able to "save" some options (hand position, mana display) ion the windows version, does this change break something ?
CAREFUL : this update REVERSES the triggers default actions.
* Make the right trigger opens the hand and the left trigger skips to
next phase.
* Add an option to reverse triggers (and thus revert to old style).
* Numerous cache fixes, reduced filesystem access.
* Cache fails very gracefully.
* Cache is now a templated class, with individual caches per data-type.
* Much easier to extend.
* Extensively debugged. Try compiling with -DDEBUG_CACHE.
* Caches limits can be set on a per-item basis.
* hgeParticleSystemInfo are now cached, mana particles now fall back to defaults.
* Samples are not cached, but track filesystem misses using the cache backbone.
* Avatars are cached. Default baka avatar is now baka.jpg, to prevent collision with player.
A note on the retrieval types:
RETRIEVE_MANAGE puts a resource into a seperate, managed resource list.
Managed resources are guarenteed valid for the lifetime of the program.
Retrieving a managed quad promotes the associated texture to managed. Don't do that by mistake.
Calls to Resources.Refresh() will attempt to reload managed resources in place.
RETRIVE_LOCK (and by extension, RETRIEVE_VRAM), returns a resource after locking it.
A resource may have many locks, and remains in cache until they are all released.
If the resource is managed, it returns it unmodified.
A note on quads:
Unlike all other RetrieveWhatever() functions, the default behavior for RetrieveQuad is RETRIEVE_LOCK. Worse, Release(JQuad*) is slow, and will /always/ release one lock from the associated texture.
There's a long and complicated explanation for this, involving support for live relinking of textures to existing quads, but basically what it means is that we only use RetrieveQuad for quads we intend to store and later Release(). If a temporary quad is needed, the preferred method is to use NEW JQuad* and SAFE_DELETE with RetrieveTexture(). RetrieveTempQuad is also provided, but is only guaranteed until the next call to the cache.
Note that RetrieveCard has none of these problems.
