lots of changes, many bug fixes,
first
added auto=count(targetchooser)
and countedamount wparsed int
they work together for cards where it is difficult to get working without knowing in advance how many we had ie: exile blah creatures, for each creature you exiled do effect.
auto=count(creature|mybattlefield)
auto=moveto(exile)
auto=draw:countedamount
it takes into account token creatures, which our old methods did not.
second, added "freeze" which is a "frozen" that automatically taps your target for you, for use when nesting or whenever needed where it was difficult to nest the ability with tap included.
added devotion for "iroas"
added reveal:x and scry x
reveal contains optionone/optiononeend ; optiontwo/optiontwoend ; repeat; afterrevealed/afterrevealed end.
this ability has heavy use of targetListIsSet(<amount>) and upto:amount, you MUST be certain that all cards being revealed have an action that removes them from reveal either in the first, second, or 3rd ability.
there are over 300 examples in the new card code, the ability is VERY easy to understand.
scry contains automatic put on top, put on bottom, then scrycore/scrycoreend which is an ability to fire.
it also contains keywords, dontshow which is nested in scrycore, scry reveals, puts on top or bottom, then reveal AGAIN, and does an effect, dontshow eliminates the 2nd revealing.
is also contains "delayed" keyword, which delays the ability until AFTER the core fires.
added bestow. update rules mtg.txt!!!!
examples are in primitives, every bestow card was supported.
added a new lord based on varibles and restrictions
while(restriction{morbid})
while(varible:blah)
this simplifies and expands on this(, allowing you to even use while(cantarget together and check if a card is targetable by the variable. examples are in primitives
added token(by card name)
auto=token(Eldrazi Scion)
will search primitives and card dats for this card and give it to you as a token.
valid card dat info is still required.
added variable delirium
added restriction madnessplayed to allow checking if the card was played with madness.
added restriction "geared" for checking if a card has equipment on it.
added abilities words
skulk
menace <--cant be blocked except by 2 or more, if you dont block it with 2 or more we automatically unassign the single blocker and the creature is considered not blocked.
nosolo <--cant attack alone
mustblock <---if you dont assign as a blocker, we assign automatically the first thing it can block legally.
changed iscolorless back to "colorless"
enjoy, cards coming soon, theyre coded but im debating on not alpha sorting, cards being added this patch 965 uniques.
there is a section of the commit which was just VS2016 normalizing line ends, sorry if it makes it a cluster mess.
added
"whenever a creature enters the battlefield you may pay {1}, if you do gain one life"
conditional may pay({cost}) effect
this version is a super type ability, and can only be used in certain combos.
to nest you will need to use it in its subtype pay[[{cost}]] effect
pay keyword can have sideeffects coded as follows
pay[[{1}]] life:1?life:-1
pay one mana and gain 1 life, if you dont then you lose one life. notice no space between the abilities and the question mark.
added castcard()
a method to cast a targeted card, this contains the following subkeywords which can be used in combinations
(normal)
(restricted)
(copied)
(noevent)
castcard(restricted copied noevent) for example will cast a card that is a copy or the spell without sending a cast event only when the spell is castable.
"normal" subkeyword cast the actual spell, not a copy.
extended the use of exiledeath to everyzone, any card going from any zone to graveyard is placed in exile if it has exiledeath.
limited swipe left to open hand only when hand is closed view.
"moveto(" can now be named.
opponentpoolsave(
mypoolsave(
ex:Upwelling
added a tag for mana, doesntempty
add{g}{g}{g} doesntempty
what this does is make THAT mana remain in the pool until end of turn.
ex:
Sakura-Tribe Springcaller
Curse of Oblivion moved back to unsupported.
added support for targeting a zone by targeting a player...
any time you have targeted a player, you can access items in thier zones by using
targetedpersonsZONE
targetedpersonsbattlefield for example...
added "targetedplayer" as a targetchooser and who.
added "mycurses" targetchooser.
added "targetedcurses" word variable.
- Modified the testsuite and gameobserver to be able to replay all the testcases based on the actions logged during the first pass. This allows to test the action logging and replay used during undo. It's only activated in multithreaded mode and it does not work on Momir tests.
- Modified choice logging and replay to use menuId instead of ability index, as, for some obscur reasons related to Lord, those ability indexes may change.
- Fixed bug in nextphase logging wrongly generating click actions
- Added a "stack" zone to the click ability logging to be able to replay properly interrupt
- Fixed a wonderful bug mixing card names with zone names in the actions execution engine
- Added a "combatok" action logging/execution
- Added a "clone" virtual method to MTGCardInstance and Token to be able to clone correctly the right object type. Used that in MTGGameZones::removeCard
- Modified undo to stop at "next phase" action
- Added "muligan" and "force library shuffling" to the list of logged action
- Fixed random logging
- Fixed double logging of actions
- Merged all the "next game" functions into a single one
- Created a PlayerType type instead of using int
- Moved the player loading code into the GameObserver and out of GameStateDuel to avoid having player references in both and simplify the initialization and termination. Tweeked a bit the humanplayer class to be able to do that.
- Added a "load" menu available in testsuite mode, I use that to load problematique game. To use it, just copy-paste a game from the traces into Res/test/game/timetwister.txt. Game in traces starts by "rvalues:..." and ends by "[end]"
- Added some untested and commented out code in GuiCombat to use the mouse/touch to setup the damage on the blockers
- Broke the network game ... hoh well, I'll repair it when everything else works !!
- various code cleanup and compilation fixes on Linux
- removed every references to the gameobserver singleton. This object can now be instantiated several times as it's needed for minmax. To be able to do that, I mostly added a reference to a gameobserver from any targetable object (cards, players, spells) and abilities.
small add with big impact:
added the useage of castrestriction on triggers and activated abilities.
this can be used to create such cards as library of alexandria.
{t}:draw:1 restriction{type(*|myhand)~equalto~7}
and replace instances were we were putting false triggers on the stack from abilities which contained nested aslongas...
meaning cards like epic struggle, won't need to be triggered every turn even if you have no creatures...
for epic struggle here is an example of how to replace it
@each myupkeep restriction{type(creature|mybattlefield)~morethan~19}:wingame controller
any of the current cast and other restrictions can be used. this includes turn:1 <===and various others such as phase based checking.
syntax is
restriction{ whatever casting/other restriction you want }
a nice quality of life fix for false triggers (which don't mean theyre incorrect, just annoying when they trigger when they will do nothing)
another example would be the triggers on cards like
skullcage.
auto=@each opponent upkeep:aslongas(*|opponenthand) damage:2 opponent >4
auto=@each opponent upkeep:aslongas(*|opponenthand) damage:2 opponent <3
becomes
auto=@each opponent upkeep restriction{type(*|opponenthand)~morethan~4}:damage:2 opponent
auto=@each opponent upkeep restriction{type(*|opponenthand)~lessthan~3}:damage:2 opponent
now instead of triggering every opponent upkeep even without a resolve...it will only triggers when the restriction requirement is met.
enjoy :)
note:all test pass.
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.
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.
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....
- "Manapool empties at the end of each step" becomes an ability, and was moved into the external rules file. "removemana(*) to remove all, removemana(*{G}) to remove all green, removemana(*{G}{B}{R}) to remove all green black red, removemana({G}{G}{B}{U}) (no "*") to remove a specific value.
- Added a possibility to make abilities non interruptible. With little work, this could be added to the parser if needed. Please use with care, let's discuss what is an acceptable usage of this now functionality, if needed.
Crossing fingers I didn't break anything major. The test suite passes, though I expect some edge case bugs to appear. Apologies in advance, I think this change is worth it.
first as requested, kicker will now act like the other cost, offering a menu choice, heres the catch tho,
it was also thought up that we should maintain the "pay automatically" method of it as it feels more natural to some(even tho as per MTG rules its supposed to be a choice).
so here is what i did that i hope satisfies everyone, i added a new menu option under advanced tab..."kicker payment" with 2 setting, by defualt "always pay" but also an option to "always offer choice"...
2nd, minor tweaks to player avatar, every tme i saw it i was like "i need to do something about that", the avatar getting completely sucked into the corner just looked bad imo, so i about doubled the "inactive" size, so it looks a little more uniform with the opponents avatar. also move the library and grave icons just a thin hair to the left so they don't grossly overlap the players avatar as much when active, and increased the dark box theyre contained in my just a few pixels.
3rd, something else thats really bothered me to no end was that the title text of simple menus which display the cards name which owns the box was using small face font, which on pc was *barely* ok...but on psp(smaller devices) looks like white smears and dots. i changed it to share the font and size used inside the menubox itself, the end result is a lot nicer look...and alot easier to read on psp. now if only we can convince wololo that "spades" is alot like a lava lamp, cool at first, but *extremely* dated. the menu box should have a much slicker look, maybe rounded corners instead and lose the street light poles?
minor fix for phaseaction, becuase of the nature of this ability finding a happy safe medium without losing function is tough. hopefully this corrects it for good.
dropped cast methods menutext returns to lower case, for uniformity.
doTap now only serves a single purpose, to pass Tap variable to amanaproducer class so that "tappedformana" will trigger is a manaproducer was tapped for mana.
also restricted it to _target->isInPlay() i read through all the cards which use this and none of them targetted a source that was not in play, or not being moved to inplay...
2nd, found out today that certain activated abilities can use either target click or object click, find the difference between the 2 was impossible, exsample, {2}{t}:foreach(blah) add{b}
{t}:foreach(blah) add{b}
so i figured i would need to remove those foreach mana abilities from the stack and add that same code for the bottom half...after noticing that both the reactToClick and reactToTargetClick did EXACTLY the same things after the "cost" portion...i decided to create a new virtual int activateAbility the activatedAbility parent. this way incase i need to change any further code in there, both functions resolve the same. This was a nice lesson in why copy paste coding is stupid. you think you solved the bug becuase it works in one function call, but you actually didnt.
first, tweaked some ai checks a bit.
small changes.
2nd, i removed the following classes,
APowerToughnessModifierUntilEndOfTurn
APowerToughnessModifierUntilEOT
ADragonWhelp
i replaced these with soft coded support for dragon whelps "sideffects" of using a ability more then a certain number of times...
syntax limit^the effect you want^the use it triggers on.
replaced both powertoughnessueot classes with a class which falls more along the lines of how we handle ueot abilitys...PTInstant, creates the wrapper with the ability and adds it to the game, rather then that jumbled mess that was previous version.
added support for "phaseaction[" phase words "my" and "opponent" so you can denote which players phases it will happen on. by default it automatically happens on both players turns when the phase matches.
modified a few things in phaseaction class...which correct a memory leak which could be created if the source of the phaseaction is destroyed before the phase action resolved. rather then storing an ability which is left floating in memory if phaseaction is destroy...i took a much safer route of passing the string of the ability directly to the phaseaction class...and i build the ability right when it is being used instead. makes much more sense.
angry mob is now fully supported. yay to removing nasty ugly workarounds!!!! and i mean UGLY.
dragon whelp is now fully soft coded. added the 5 or six other cards which do similar effects.
========================================
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.
