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

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]

abilities=protection from black
other={0}
otherrestriction=mytypemin:1 type(swamp) , opponenttypemin:1 opponenttype(plains)

mana={2}{W}
type=Creature
subtype=Human Soldier

[/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]

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]

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
age
charge
oneonecounters
thatmuch
variable list 3:
this is the main effect
strike
draw
lifeloss
lifegain
pumppow
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.
finishing up my reformatting of the source from November/December following the guidelines that were posted.
some extra things I added:
* Any empty virtual declarations were kept to one line.
* Enums were split up into separate lines to promote uniformity across all headers. ( each header file had a different style for enums)
- computeActions would leak a ManaCost. This was fairly minor.
- AIPlayer::SelectAbility had a major leak. Basically, there's some code that pulls a random number for an efficiency check - if the action's efficiency value was below that random number, the action pointer was cleared, and none of the actions that were to be discarded would be deleted out of the rankings map. I've switched out the rankings container to not contain action pointers, but real action objects, so regardless what kind of logic is implemented, the map will properly clear out its objects upon destruction.
fixed the bug where the ai "attacks/blocks" its own attackers during the combat phase.
Strangely, creatures only die in this bug when there are two or more suffering from
summoning sickness.
If somebody can double check this code change to make sure that it is appropriate.
My playtesting indicates a success but I don't have the variety of player decks others have.
this also fixes the spamming of Abilities like Ai atempting to untap something more then once, or Ai uses regenerate ability multiple times on the same creature.
there will be no noticible difference in Ai game play except now it actually doesnt do the above mentioned bugs.
with this change please try playing a few matchs against vanguards chosen and wraith feast, my 2 most favorate decks to fight now. youre in for a treat :)
keep in mind that even tho ive taught Ai Foreach in a somewhat crude manner it still does not understand how much mana it can gain from a foreach manaproducer, and this does not make it suddenly use dark ritual correctly. however this change was dramatic enough that i wanted it in for 14.1
this is also still under massive play testing, however no issues were found so far with it as it is presented here.
- had some problems compiling for the PSP. I assume I was the only one, please let me know if the "include JLogger" lines are not needed (they were needed for me)
- Fix a memory leak when playing in "random deck" mode
- Prevent the AI from playing cards with a cost it cannot understand (ExtraCosts with a target).
new ability lord...teach(whatever[whatever]) ability.
teach is a targeted lord, it takes the cards current target and lords it the ability. im aware of a tiny memleak it contains, but the leak is happening on parser lvl, so i need more eyes to look at it. teach is ideally used for equipment, and was designed to fix issue 244 taught abilities are not given to the source cards.
forced Ai to pay for sunburst correctly. it was choosing to pay with all of one type of mana. now it pays either max or 1 from max sunburst.
added a tiny double check for Ai to try and find something to use if it suddenly has mana in its pool. it is only a single check in a turn, but i notice it actually does slightly improve the usages of dark ritual and foreach mana producers. ideally i wanted it to check EVERYTIME. but i could not achieve it without putting the game in danger of looping. so once is better then none :/
fixed a bug with affinity where it was not counting duel lands, this is becuase of not setting it up correctly for lands with multiple types SORRY!
Gives the user the opportunity to earn some credits for performing various tasks.
Known bugs removed, tested stability-wise, not so much game-wise.
Lots of to-dos and ideas still remaining, better balance between task difficulty and their rewards needed - please comment.
Usage:
Enter shop, open menu, select 'See available tasks'.
All tasks in the list are active, until they expire ('Days left'; day passes after each duel (won, lost or quited)).
You can finish any of the tasks and get bonus. For particular task, the bonus gets a bit smaller every day (until expiration).
- Lords are now taken into account in AI statistics. (To display information, uncomment RENDER_AI_STATS in config.h)
- fixed a potential segfault with NoFizzle
-reduced SFX Quality. This seems to fix the Bug with samples getting silent on the PSP (issue 112), and improves loading times. If you think this is unacceptable, let's discuss it
- AI now should play fetchlands' ability, although still not "efficiently"
- Fix a bug where the game would crash if a card has a valid alias to a hardcoded card that is in no _cards.dat (starwars mod cards aliasing a MTG card)
- Fix issue #16 (testsuite segfaults if file does not exist)
- Fix issue #37 (Normal Combat Damage is not dealt to creatures when the AI attacks)
- TestSuite now has an "AI" mode (see test/manual/p2_attacks.txt)
* New interface.
* This breaks a lot of things. It is not feature-equivalent. It
probably doesn't compile under windows and doesn't work on PSP.
* Damage is not resolved any more. This will have to be fixed.
* Blockers can't be ordered any more. This will have to be fixed.
* A lot of new art is included.
- It is now possible to have avatars associated to each Deck
- Added SFX
- Added Music files
- Possibility to choose your opponent
- Opponents' difficulty is measured according to their number of victories against a given deck
- Added the possibility to narrow a spell/ability target according to color,tapped status, attacker/blocker, abilities...
- Changed the games phase system to become a phaseRing. This allows to add cards that have an impact on the phases, such as stasis
- Added a few cards
- Fixed a (windows) bug in gatherer tool
- Adding stdint.h for VC++ (see wikipedia->stdint.h)
- deleting the compiled PSP lib to avoid confusion. People who work from the sourcehave to compile the lib by themselves.
