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

name=Blood Frenzy
target=creature[attacking;blocking]
restriction=before battle damage
auto=4/0

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)

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
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)
ok here goes, first, fixed a crash that would happen when ever a player would gain more then 2000 life or take more then 2000 damage...the buffer was becoming corrupted i imagine because it was too small, increasing it to 10 slots allowed players to successfully take massive amounts of damage, highest i bothered checking was about 35k gained/lost, no crash...
2nd, removed the and refactored cantcaster rule, moved it to stateEffects() and renamed stateeffects to better reflect what it will be handling,
removed sneak attack rule and moved it into stateeffects
the following ints have been converted into bool,
all the cantcasters, canputlandsintoplay is becoming a bool, the amount of lands you can play is now handled by a new varible int landsPlayerCanStillPlay (this is for my ability additional lands increase in support on perminents coming after the release)
the changes to bools were for an obvious reason, they were all ints pretending to be bools, my varibles were confusing as you would often see code like this if(cantblahblah > 0)
which to another coder might not make any sense.
these varible ints were returning 0 as false and 1 as true...changed them all to bools, same goes for putlandsinplay int, in half the places it was being used as a bool, AND it was tracking the amount, when i was coding additional land ability, this made it impossible to maintain correct amounts without damaging the rest of the code.
as a bool, controlled by stateeffects, it can now be used correctly as a bool in all cases, and the stateEffects manages the switch on it to false if you no longer have any landsPlayerCanStillPlay left.
the refactor on cantcaster was also a bug fix, it was reported to me that cantcasters were not correctly working, sometimes ai or player would still be allowed to play a card with one in play, because of the old way i had it setup somecases of bothcantcaster were reseting the cantcast to 0, basically making the check do nothing.
it is now handled in stateeffects if you have one in play, then its true, if not then false...this returns very accurate tracking of the cards instantly instead of checking as cards enter or left play.
the "both" versions now have their own bools to avoid future conflicts with the single player cantcast...
added a case for the fancy moving text, some move to library effects were incorrectly returing fetch.
modified player status to recognize that test suite has been activated. This is to allow deactivation of "phase skip automation" game setting during test suite.
TODO: fix "Phase Skip Automation" such that if turned on the test suite does not break. This fix should be considered temporary
- Reward system in Story mode (currently, either credits or random set)
- Rules now accept for player 2 to start (see story mode "block" stage)
- Story mode now has an autosave/autoload mechanism. This is for convenience but also to prevent people from abusing the reward mechanism too easily.
- possibility to choose an avatar for both players through the rules (see example in story mode)
- Adding (dead) code for Story mode. This is FAR from being ready so it's deactivated in the code. I just don't want to create a branch (I'm lazy) and I'm fed up with synching. My Goal is to have a tutorial ready with this for the release after this one. If you want to test it (Note: the sample story is not interesting at ALL), just look for "Story mode" and uncomment (3 occurrences). PSP Or Linux need additions to the Makefile...
- 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
* 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.
- Moved "extraPayment" cancel verification into ActionLayer (was in GuiLayers)
- added "HUDDisplay" MTGAbility (displays damage/graveyard info)
- Added option to NOT interrupt own's spells and abilities. Allows smoother gameplay. We should add a "quick options" menu ingame to change those options on the fly
- Magic 2010: Combat Damages don't go on the stack anymore
- Comp rules: "goes to graveyard" effects don't go on the stack anymore
- Regenerate "fixed" (untested)
- Basic "ReplacementEffect" mechanism for damage prevention. Can be extended to other replacement effects with some limits.
- TODO: Damages don't go on the stack, the abilities that create them do.
- 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.
