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.
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]
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.
{x:black}
{x:color}
creating a snapshot of a card instance in garbage for stored cards, the issue with previous version was it was using base model value instead of what the storedcard was actually at the time it was in battlefield. example, animal boneyard test was coming up 1 toughness short becuase the creature storedcard pointed to was sent to graveyard for the sacrifice.
changed myStored TargetChooser to use storedSourceCard instead, as this is supposed to point to the actual card and not a snapshot.
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.
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.
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
- 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.
- removed incorrect casts of MTGCardInstance into Spell objects.
- AI Test system now allows you to put decks in ai/bakaA and ai/bakaB instead of ai/baka. This allows to let AIPlayerBaka and AIPlayerBakaB play with specific decks
- Test suite speed improvement. Improved the card name cache. Test suite now runs in 850 seconds instead of 950 on my machine.
- minor code cleanup
-- This is a copy/paste and shouldn't have any impact on the logic. I just moved some functions from AIPlayer to AIPlayerBaka
- Added back the possibility to select a different Resource folder with file Res.txt
- Fix a crash when a token id does not exist
opponent play an ability, player interupts and clicks a card with TargetChooser which has no valid targets; player then tries to cancel targetchooser, instead the stack is displayed again, player is then locked in a TargetChooser unable to click other cards.
originally i was going to do it in the reactToClick however, after thinking about it, it made no sense to me that a targetchooser would be set and a cardwaitingfortargets would be set if you know ahead of time that no valid targets existed.
now when clicking cards which have TargetChoosers and no valid targets, no tc is set, and no cardiswaitingfortargets; instead return 0.
ok this target chooser is set apart from the others becuase it focuses on relationship between cards instead of other forms of checking, also i made sure to add a method for deeper Targeting.
it is the same as any other target chooser when it comes to writeing the syntax and can be used in almost every way a normal one can.
here is what i mean by deeper targeting
this targetchooser allows you to denote a nested targetchooser.
target(children[targerchooser])
all(parents[targetchooser])
it is plural becuase i do allow maxtargeting to be denoted here. lets say you want to have a domain that lets you do the following
"2 of my target inhabitants get +1/+1 until end of turn"
you can do this...
auto={0}:target(<2>children) +1/+1 ueot
how about even more complex?
auto={0}:target(<2>children[elf[power=1]]) +1/+1
2 of my children that are elves with power equal to 1.
the same goes for parents, you can also lord( with this targetchooser.
if you want to say
"the inhabitants of this domain gain flying"
auto=lord(children) flying
here are some example coding that you can play around with.
[card]
name=Forest
text=G
auto=lord(children[elf]) +3/+3
auto={0}:target(<2>children) +12/+12
type=Basic Land
subtype=Forest
[/card]
[card]
name=Tidal Kraken
abilities=unblockable
target=land|mybattlefield
auto=connect
auto={0}:target(parents) destroy
text=Tidal Kraken is unblockable.
mana={0}
type=Creature
subtype=Kraken
power=6
toughness=6
[/card]
[card]
name=Arbor Elf
target=<upto:3>land|mybattlefield
auto=connect
auto=foreach(parents[forest]) 1/1
mana={0}
type=creature
subtype=elf
power=1
toughness=1
[/card]
*above, arbor elf can target upto 3 domains...for each one you choose to connect him to that is a forest, arbor elf would gain 1/1..
so as you can see it is pretty indepth.
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.
so i converted it from string comparisons and counting the battlefield..into targetchoosers with declarable operator.
simplified the code from the mess it was before into something alot easier to card code with.
example before:
mytypemin:less type(land),opponenttypemin:* type(land)
becomes
type(land|mybattlefield)~lessthan~type(land|opponentbattlefield)
the new syntax is:
type(targetchooser)~operator~number
type(targetchooser)~operator~type(targetchooser)
the operator are:
morethan
lessthan
equalto
this update requires you to update your rules folder files!!!
2nd
added 2 new vanguard game modes.
Stone Hewer Basic - when ever a creature enters play, a random equipment with a converted mana cost less than or equal to that creature is put into play and attached to it.
this mode is unlockable, requirement = win a match where 10 or more equipment were in the battlefeild at the moment you won.
Hermit Druid basic- in this game mode, during each of the players upkeeps, a random land card from their deck is placed into the battlefield, these do not count against your 1 land per turn limit.
to unlock this, win any match with less then 10 lands.
