it requires an update to your mtg rules txt...
the coding is as follows
[card]
name=Arbor Elf
mana={g}
auto=soulbond 1/3
auto=soulbond {t}:add{g}
abilities=soulbond
type=Creature
subtype=Elf Druid
power=1
toughness=1
[/card]
auto=soulbond *any ability supported by wagic*
abilities=soulbond
the above arbor elf gives itself and its soulbond creature a 1/3 bonus and the ability to tap for green mana.
which tells the ai not to use the targetible cards as attackers, this can be card names, and CD modes.
modified the way ai handles multikicker. it will not be casting 1/1 joragas anymore :D
made WParsedInt ignore "+" signs....
added a new affinity ability...autohand=affinity(creature[vampire]|mygraveyard) ....
this is essentially affinity for creatures in your grave.
added supkeyword to clone clone addtype(zombie)....it adds the type listed to the cards types on clone...
reparse PT bonus on resolve.
reworked bushido, it should now work correctly...aside from that it now excepts word variables...fumiko is now bushido(type:creature[attacking]:battlefield/type:creature[attacking]:battlefield)
added a keyword to access acontrolsteal..the keyword is "steal"
auto=ueot steal target(creature)
reworked persist to handle undying..added the new counter handling rules intruduced by wotc in ISD
added a vector cardsAbilities to mtgcardinstance...this keeps the abilities added to the game for a card to use stored where we can easly alter or remove them.
added an automatic increase to geteff return if the ability is a putinplay ability.
finished coding support for flip and double sided cards, though viewing the "other side" is still not possible yet.
the ability follows the mtg rules.
the ability syntax is flip(card name)...a card can flip into any other card by name...even flip into itself.
added a "canPay() call for Ninja cost...to prevent it from coming up in a menu unless you're in blockers....
added 3 new restriction types that work very similar to type(
thisturn(tc)~morethan~2
lastturn(tc)~lessthan~thisturn(tc)
compare(wordvarible)~equalto~compare(wordvarible)
these are pretty self explanitory.
moved "&&" ability parsing below "this(" allowing "this(" to grant abilities now which contain &&...enclave egologist bug is fixed by this.
fixed an issue with combatspirit link for some reason the way i was doing the bool was not always working.
took care of the todo for AProtectionFrom...you can now give a protection from(blah) in a instant or ueot ability.
added altho very limited right now a "targetedplayer" tc word. i hope to increase this with time.
as always my sidekick doc already has some cards coded for this and test will follow the addition of the cards.
-- I added an AbilityParser.cpp file, mid term goal is to move AbilityFactory there, so that MTGAbility.cpp becomes a bit less big.
-- I tried to add the file reference in Makefiles, but only tested windows compilation so far
- Fixed bugs related to "castRestriction" variables in MTGAbility. these variables were declared in both the parent and children classes, leading to bugs and duplicate code/content
The test suite passes
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
added abilities:
proliferate
ProliferateChooser:new targetchooser for cards with counter and poison counters "proliferation".
MenuAbility:new internal ability to create custom menus of abilities which can be activated in sequence one after another.
multikicker, syntax kicker=multi{b}
works with variable word "kicked", the amount of times it was kicked.
target=<number>tc,target=<upto:>tc,target=<anyamount>tc,target(<number>tc),target(<upto:>tc),target(<anynumber>tc);
multitarget is now supported with the exception of "devided any way you choose" which can not be supported becuase we allow detoggling of targeted cards with a "second" click....so you can not click the same card 2 times to add it to the targets list twice for example.
this is minor, as the bulk of multitarget is not "devided"
removed 's' parsing for multitarget, added a limit of 1000 to "unlimited" for easier handling; we currently can't handle activation of an ability on a 1000 cards very well on any platform(infact i don't suggest it)
Countershroud(counterstring), this MTGAbility allows you to denote that a card can not have counters of the type "counterstring" put on it.
"any" is for no counters allowed at all. this is a replacement effect. cards state that they can still be the targets of counter effects, however on resolve nothing is placed on them instead.
@counteradded(counterstring) from(target):,@counterremoved(counterstring) from(target):: these are triggers for cards which state "whenever you add a counter of "counterstring" to "target"; added counterEvents struct;
other changes:
added support for ai handling of multitargeted spells.
changed a few of delete( into SAFE_DELETE(, safed up a couple areas where they did not seem safe to me;
added better handling of menus presented to ai, it will try to select the best based on eff returns.
added varible lastactioncontroller for ai use, it keeps it truely from ever tripping over itself and brings ai more inline with MTG rules.
converted TC into a protected member.
added "abilitybelongsto" string to tc, and set "owner" of the tc. a tc should never belong to "no one" it should always have a owner.
abilitybelongs to string is solely for easier debugging, i found it was a pain to never know what ability created a tc while i coded multitarget. the owner of the tc is the only one that should be using it, if an ability needs to declare the opponent as the owner (choose discard which is currently unsupported for example) this will allow us to better handle that situation by setting the tc owner in the ability which called it.
rewrote the logic of "checkonly" in ai choose targets, the only time it is "checkonly" is when it is trying to see if it had a target for a spell before it cast it, i now set this in the actual function call instead, the old method was far to error prone.
wrote logic for ai checking of menu objects presented to it,
ai will now make better choices when a menu is presented to it based on what it already knows. this changes it from it's old method of "just click the first option".
taught ai how to use multi-mana producers such as birds and duel lands by adding a method for it to find it's mana for a payment. it can effectively use cards like birds of paradise and sol ring(without locking up). It's primary method of pMana searching was maintain for performance(no need to deep search if we have it in pMana).
added a vector to actionlayer to store mana abilities for pMana. this provides us with a dramatic improvement when mana lords are present by reducing the amount of objects that need checking when ai checks pMana.
with 80 mana objects and a ton of lords one instance i checked went from 8000ish checks down to 80<===big difference.
added "tapped" green coloring(sorry i missed that!)...added red coloring to current actionLayers current action card (usually the source).
changed "type(" restrictions second amount from atoi into wparsedint for more flexiable coding.
add "&" parsing to CD targetchooser, removed "iscolorandcolor" variables and functions becuase they were a hack the real fix was this.
cretaure[dragon&black&blue] a creature that is a dragon, and black and also blue.
changed some of the ai computeactions and
removed unneeded gaurds in ai chooseblockers, they did more harm then good.
- deprecated the following keywords (see list below for new usage)
-- cantcreaturecast => auto=maxCast(creature)0
-- cantspellcast => auto=maxCast(*)0
-- onlyonecast => auto=maxCast(*)1
-- bothcantcast => auto=maxCast(*)0 auto=maxCast(*)0 opponent
-- bothnocreature => auto=maxCast(creature)0 auto=maxCast(creature)0 opponent
-- oneboth => auto=maxCast(*)1 auto=maxCast(*)1 opponent
Strangely enough, I couldn't find most of these keywords in mtg.txt?
I also removed variables such as "spellCastedThisTurn" and stuff like that... now if you want to know how many spells were cast in one turn by a given player, use player->game->stack->seenThisTurn("*").
seenThisTurn can take a string representing a TargetChooser, or better, a TargetChooser.
I can't guarantee I didn't break anything, but the test suite passes and the AI seems to run ok
ok i WAS going to write a full change log with code exsamples ect, but since im rushed you will get the short version of this log.
first bug fixes, and there were many,
indestructible creature bug fixed
halimar execavator *embearessing youtube video" bug is fixed
token text now displays source name and tokens abilities
fixed a card view null pointer in an iterator when code used combinations of foreach and aslongas with CD.
epic struggle bug fixed, aslongas was only parsing one space to the right of the operator.
extra cost containing targetting fixed, cards can now have multiple extra cost in all mana...this includes giving a card 2 targeted sacrifices as its main cost.
angelic chorus bug fixed, the card will be soft coded now.
and many other minor bugs fixed, hard to remember all which were fixed.
now, new abilities = words
"legendarylandwalk",
"desertlandwalk",
"snowforestlandwalk",
"snowplainslandwalk",
"snowmountainlandwalk",
"snowislandlandwalk",
"snowswamplandwalk",
"snowlandwalk",
"nonbasiclandwalk",
"strong",//cant be blocked by creature with less power
"weak",//cant block creatures with more power
"phasing",
all true landwalks will now be supported.
new cost types:
morph which is coded as follows
[card]
name=Bloodstoke Howler
facedown={3}
autofacedown={6}{R}:morph
autofaceup=3/0 all(beast|mybattlefield))
text=Morph {6}{R} (You may cast this face down as a 2/2 creature for {3}. Turn it face up any time for its morph cost.) -- When Bloodstoke Howler is turned
face up, Beast creatures you control get +3/+0 until end of turn.
mana={5}{R}
type=Creature
subtype=Beast
power=3
toughness=4
[/card]
you will notice new auto lines autofaceup and autofacedown
these are abilities the cards will have when theyre in that state.
the cost is coded as
facedown={cost}
when a card is faced up it gains auto= lines also.
tho is played normally it will NOT gain autofaceup=lines
card restrictions:
cards can now have restrictions placed on them the restrictions are.
all previous restrictions usable in activated abilities
with the follow additions
control two or more vampires
control less creatures
control snow land
casted a spell
one of a kind
fourth turn
before battle damage
after battle
during battle
[card]
name=Blood Frenzy
target=creature[attacking;blocking]
restriction=before battle damage
auto=4/0
auto=treason
text=Cast Blood Frenzy only before the combat damage step. -- Target attacking or blocking creature gets +4/+0 until end of turn. Destroy that creature
at the beginning of the next end step.
mana={1}{R}
type=Instant
[/card]
other cost now can have specail restrictions also:
otherrestriction=mytypemin:1 type(swamp),opponenttypemin:1 opponenttype(plains)
these are minimums required inplay of a type
it can be just you, or you and opponent or just opponent
you can also use the words "more" and "less" and * to compare the 2 players fields.
[card]
name=Cho-Arrim Legate
abilities=protection from black
other={0}
otherrestriction=mytypemin:1 type(swamp) , opponenttypemin:1 opponenttype(plains)
text=Protection from black -- If an opponent controls a Swamp and you control a Plains, you may cast Cho-Arrim Legate without paying its mana cost.
mana={2}{W}
type=Creature
subtype=Human Soldier
power=1
toughness=2
[/card]
activated ability gained a new restriction "opponentturnonly"
variables will now be recalculated during the resolve of the major abilities to produce the most current number.
{x}:draw:x <----
new number variables words:
using draw as an exsample
draw:auras <--auras on a creature
draw:type:ally <---counts the allys in your field. self explanitory
draw:thatmuch <--mostly a triggered effects number.
when you take damage draw that much
draw:lifelost
draw:oplifelost
these return the value of the life lost that turn.
new TRIGGER restricitions
sourcenottap
sourceTap
foelostthree<--card cycle uses opponent lost life
foelosttwo<--same as above
once<--this trigger will only ever trigger one time and never again.
new card discriptor words
[multicolor]
[leveler]
[enchanted]
[blackandgreen]
[blackandwhite]
[redandblue]
[blueandgreen]
[redandwhite]
CD will now recalculate the number again on resolve
meaning {x}:target(CreatureTargetChooser[manacost <=x]) will work, with an added bonus {x}:target(CreatureTargetChooser[manacost <=any word variable])
new this(:
this(tapped)<--for strange case cards.
this(untapped)
this(auras)
new MTGAbility keywords
(blink)
(blink)forsrc <--stay blinked while source inplay
hand(blink <---adding hand to the front makes it target hand.
livingweapon
this is an extension of token, simple attach the words "livingweapon" to the front of token( and it will autoamtically token that and attach the card to it.
token( gained:
"targetcontroller" targetting.
"battleready" if put in the tokens abilities it will be a attacker and tapped as it is entering play.
phaseout <--self explanitory
spiritlink <--stacking lifelink style effect that benifits the OWNER of the card.
combatspiritlink same as above.
stacking flanking, requires 2 abilities unfortunately
[card]
name=Agility
target=creature
auto=teach(creature) flanker
auto=teach(creature) flanking
text=Enchant creature -- Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 and has flanking. (Whenever a creature without flanking blocks this creature, the blocking
creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn.)
mana={1}{R}
type=Enchantment
subtype=Aura
[/card]
removeallcounters(number/number,name)
removes all counters of the type from a card, can all be
"all"
vampire hexmage effect.
added new tools for transforms
,setpower=number
,settoughness=number
removetypes
morph
autofacedown={0}:morph
eradicate <---same as the card name.
cumulativeupcost[ <--self explanitory
upcostmulti[ <--an upcost that will resolve with a && ability
phaseaction[ phase name ] ability
an ability that will trigger on the stated phase name.
also support for phaseactionmulti[
new triggers added:
@vampired( <--sengir vampire effect
@targeted(
@lifeloss(
@lifed(
add a special ability builder called dynamicability
it acts alot like a choose your own adventure book
dynamicability<! variable 1, variable 2, variable 3,variable 4!> optional ability targetting the original target.
variable list 1:
this is the primary amount source
source
mytgt
myself
myfoe
variable list 2:
this is the variable we're after, or the amount
power
toughness
manacost
colors

oneonecounters
thatmuch
variable list 3:
this is the main effect
strike
draw
lifeloss
lifegain

pumptough
pumpboth
deplete
countersoneone
variable list 4:
how it will do this effect to.
itself
eachother
targetcontroller
targetopponent
tosrc
srccontroller
srcopponent
the best way to explain its usage is to look at cards coded with this ability. or experiment with combinations.
new gameoption
First turn player:player, opponent, random
who takes the first turn
added poisoned status, tho not complete since MBS hasnt spoiled enough cards to see where this variable will be used.
taught ai how to counter spell
improved ai, it will now cast instants during interupts and during your turn.
previously ai treated instant cards the same as it treated sorceries, which was not fair to the ai.
im sure there is some messed items, but the rev directly before this one had formatting in the code that created hundreds of conflicts with this one, so i had to dig this info out of red and green sections.
cards and test are coming soon, i ask PLEASE do not alter these new additions until the test are commited.
im commiting without the test because instead of allowing me to proceed with my beta test period, there are some that wish to rush me into a commit. if you do not like this commit revert it, i absolutely on no grounds give permission to recommit afterwards. and i will not recommit if a revert is called.
* created three new utility functions that return a vector of matching abilities, colors and types
* migrated all activated ability impl into AllAbilities.cpp. Perhaps we could break AllAbilities up into separate impl files for manageability?
One for Activated abilities, another for triggers,etc
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
- {z} cost becomes l2e (Library To Exile)
- {q} cost becomes s2l (Send to Library) <- from any place to Library
- subtypes leyline, controllsershroud, playershroud become ability keywords
The engine always handled it as "REGENERATE" and thus had to be renamed. Its new name is "CANTREGEN". It has been tested excessively by me and Zethfox. Now all cards with the former "cantregenerate" work as they should.
- I also added a test for "CANTREGEN" (Incinerate).
- Added the new keyword "FOG" (by Zethfox).
This is an equivalent for "PREVENTALLCOMBATDAMAGE", which only worked for instants and sorceries. "Fog" works only for permanents and is used in combination with the newly introduced parameter "ONESHOT"!
- I also added 2 tests for "FOG" (Maze of Ith, Spore Frog).
Both additions lead to several issue fixes:
Fixed issue286.
Fixed issue328.
Fixed issue332.
Fixed issue416.
- Removed Demonic Torment, Gaseous Form, General's Kabuto, Sandskin. Those cards never worked and could even not be fixed with "FOG".
- Optimized the code of the dragon-lair land-cycle from PLS and added 2 tests for them.
- Added 8 successfully tested cards. Card list -> first comment.
- IMPORTANT: Legendary is not an ability anymore, creating cards with super types should be much more natural. You can now say "type=Snow Land", and stuff like that. No backward compatibility!!!
I'm fairly certain this works as intended, cards with nofizzle "can be targeted by spells that try to counter it (such as Cancel). Those spells will resolve, but the part of their effect that would counter [it] won't do anything. Any other effects those spells have will work as normal."
Still, I don't work much with card logic, so it's possible this has some kind of unintended side effect.
* The horsemanship ability literally required only one line of code, and could add an additional ~36 cards to Dr. Solomat's PT3 set. It seems functional, but someone please double check it anyways, as I've not worked with much of the actual game code yet.
- Replaced the BasicAbilities Array with a map. This reduces the size of MTGCard from >500 bytes to 392. Should be cool for people who have memory issues
Added ability DOESNOTUNTAP , see _cards.dat from 10E (Colossus of sardia, dehydratation). Test suite OK. The ability does not work with enchant creature (as for protection from...) So Dehydratation is hardcoded (can be aliased if necessary) Small bug with dehydratation, will untap creature when cast... WHY ? Any Idea/Solution welcome...
- Magic 2010 - inplay becomes Battlefield. Wagic is still compatible with both, but try to use "battlefield" from now on. For example moveTo(battlefield) instead of moveTo(inPlay)
- Magic 2010 - "Removed from game" becomes "Exile". Wagic is still compatible with both, but try to use "exile" from now on. For example moveTo(exile) instead of moveTo(removedFromGame)
- Magic 2010 - "End of turn" step becomes "end" step. Wagic is still compatible with both, but try to use "end" from now on. for example: "@next end" rather than "@next endofturn" (not sure this is more clear than before, but at least it's consistent with the rules)
Updated the deplete function. You can use deplete in instant and sorcery (not tested)
Updated rampage (add an issue with the last parameter and the annulation of the bonuses at end of turn) should be resolved now (not tested).
Added Basilik from 10E and also lavaborn (not tested yet), should try to do a more generic basilik (abomination, cockatrice, basilik, all have the same abilities but different criteria for the “type” of creature that would be or not be affected.
Also added Elvish promenade from LRW (this one is fun ;D)
