-fix issue mentioned at http://wololo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=371&p=6296#p6296 . I touched a very sensitive area of the code so please let me know if something goes wrong with this revision with spells or abilities that involve targets and/or sacrifice
This is pretty major, so there'll probably be something wrong with it... even though I did spend a few hours looking.
NOTES:
* If you've Retrieved it, don't delete it--- Use resources.Release(Whatever).
Textures automatically release subordinate quads.
* Most of the time, use resources.RetrieveQuad to grab a quad. Should handle everything for you.
RetrieveQuad will load the required texture, if needed.
Only managed resources have a resource name ("back", "simon", etc).
Managed resources can be retrieved with GetTexture/GetQuad/GetWhatever.
Non managed quads lookup by position/dimensions, defaulting to the whole texture.
* Use resources.RetrieveTexture only when you need to do something special to it.
Calling retrieve texture with RETRIEVE_MANAGE will permanently add a texture to the manager
RETRIEVE_LOCK and RETRIEVE_VRAM will lock a texture. It will not leave the cache until
Release(JTexture*) is called, or as a last resort during cache overflow.
* Try to only store (as a class member) pointers to textures retrieved with RETRIEVE_MANAGE.
All others may become invalid, although locked textures do have a high degree of stability. It's
pretty safe to store a locked texture if you're not going to load much between uses.
There's a lot going on here, so I might have missed something... but it runs through the test suite alright.
TODO:
* When called without any arguments, RetrieveQuad sometimes leaves a thin border around the image.
This can be bypassed by specifying a quad one or two pixels less than the image size. Why?
* I've had a crash while runing the Demo mode, something to do with receiveEventMinus?
This hasn't exactly reproduced on a clean SVN copy, (being a hang, rather than a crash) so
I've probably done something to worsen the problem somehow? I'll look into it tomorrow.
* Clean up lock/unlock system, memory usage. Streamline interface, consider phasing out calls using GetWhatever() format.
- new Ability : ALifeGiver (bottle gnomes)
- Added a few cards from Tempest
- Hybrid mana fix for hybrid mana involving uncolored mana costs (see tests/generic/hybridmana2.txt - spectral possession)
- Fixed bugs with targetting for TargetAbilities
- Fixed multiple sacrifice abilities cost (Siege gang commander, see tests)
- Fixed a small font issue
- Added Dr Solomat's TEMPEST expansion
- Added Sacrifice as part of the cost of activated abilities. Making it work as an extra cost for "put in play" still requires some work though. "Render" methods need to be written correctly
- Added cards with sacrifice in the existing sets. Most of them need testing...
