* added additional meta data for decks when saving them back to file.
- decks saved this way now are split into three regions: creatures, spells and lands. It's more for a visual sorting if a
player wanted to look at the deck outside of the game. It does not impact the deck loading negatively at all. It may
increase performance in cases where the deck was previously defined using the canonical names of the cards as the numeric ids
reduce the work done when looking up the cards by name.
* modified ManaCost toString method.
* added toString method for ManaCostHybrid ( possibly make ManaCostHybrid a subclass of ManaCost)
* added additional operator overloading for ManaCost for printing to cover ManaCost when it's a pointer as well as a copy
( TODO: might want to check if making usage of ManaCost as a copy as opposed to a ptr is really necessary in most cases. )
* added alternate version of "trim" to handle trimming temporary strings as returned by things like ostringstream.str().
- This was necessary since the PSP compiler doesn't do the necessary adjustments for those types of calls.
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
fourth turn
before battle damage
after battle
during battle
[card]
name=Blood Frenzy
target=creature[attacking;blocking]
restriction=before battle damage
auto=4/0
auto=treason
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)
text=Protection from black -- If an opponent controls a Swamp and you control a Plains, you may cast Cho-Arrim Legate without paying its mana cost.
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.
Also fixed the project includes so that we don't need to always use the indirect include path, ie:
#include "../include/foo.h" -> #include "foo.h"
I'm don't know much about make files - if I busted the linux build, mea culpa, but I think we're okay on that front too. For future reference, here's the most straightforward link on the topic of adding pch support to make files:
http://www.mercs-eng.com/~hulud/index.php?2008/06/13/6-writing-a-good-makefile-for-a-c-project
- {z} cost becomes l2e (Library To Exile)
- {q} cost becomes s2l (Send to Library) <- from any place to Library
- subtypes leyline, controllsershroud, playershroud become ability keywords
- new features by Zethfox:
-- "oneshot" optional parameters for lords (helps fixing issues with bouncelands)
-- Life as a cost (avoids using a dirty trick of paying life as an effect)
-- set life total abilitiy (lifeset
-- new auto lines: autostack, autoexile
The test suite passes with these changes, also no test using these abilities has been added yet
- minor fix in Zethfox cards addon (Bad lines error from parser)
- Zethfox's patch for {t(target)} as an extra Cost. Works the same way as sacrifice, check Azami, Lady of Scrolls for an example
- fixed compilation on the PSP (sorry!)
- fix issue 392 (broken tests)
- Fix a bunch of memory leaks (guys please be careful!)
- Added Logging facility in JGE
- HBL Compatibility (cleaned up some code with MP3 in JGE)
- Added "winGame" ability. Currently used mostly by the story mode, but some cards could probably need it too
- Improved story mode and uncommented it from the source.
-- The current campaign is of course very basic, anybody who wants to improve it or create other ones feel free to do so
-- TODO (short term): save progress, rewards system, improve tutorial campaign
-- I'll talk a bit more about this on the forums/email after a night of sleep
Salmelo:"Here is another patch, this time adding counters to target specifications, so now you should be able to target things with counters on them as well as use counters for criterion for Lord, aslongas, foreach, etc.
I had to muddle the syntax a little bit though, so heres an example, taken from gwafa hazid, whom I added to the primitives to test with.
lord(creature[counter{0/0.1.Bribe}]|opponentbattlefield) cantattack
obviously the part we are worried about is the counter part, note that those are curly braces { } and periods . instead of parentheses ( ) and commas , this is so that it does not conflict with how targets are normally parsed, which it did before I changed those. Counters still work the same way everywhere else though, you only need to use { } and periods in target code.
Also, you can use counter{any} to specify that it should look for things with any kind of counter on them, not just specific ones, this is used by Kulrath Knight, for example.
I also consolidated most of the code used to parse counter specifications, as it seemed unnecessary duplicating it three times.
Anyway, aside from this major addition, I also added Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer; and Kulrath Knight to the primitives, as well as a test file for each to make sure it worked.
Hopefully y'all will find this patch useful.
Oh, and I should point out that it only works with one Counter in the target specification, i imagine if you put two in the same one then it would either overwrite the first with the second or merge them into some sort of hybrid counter monstrosity, either way, I wouldn't suggest it. "
Cards with vanishing are also codable now. Have a look at the comments for explanation.
daily_build.
- Added remove/add counters as a cost, patch by Salmelo, thanks man!. See primitives/mtg.txt -> Thallid to see how it works
- added test for i286 by salmelo
- added basic display for counters (this needs improvement) by salmelo
* Fixes for compilation on 64-bit architectures :
string position-returning functions return size_t, not uint.
Fix that.
* Fixes warnings with new gcc about non-fixed string AND no arguments.
NOTE : 64-bit architectures still do not compile. There are 2 different places
where printf is used with a specifier that is not large enough on 64-bit because
size_t is now a ulong and not a uint. The solution on GNU systems is the %zu
specifier, but as I'm not sure it is supported on windows I don't want to
introduce a huge hard-to-notice bug, so I'll do it at a time when I got a
windowser to back me up.
- fixed divergent growth (issue 243). Unfortunately the underlying issue is quite complex, and Wagic doesn't handle it very well. Basically, all "until end of turn" effects run the risk of being partially deleted before the end of the turn, leading to segfaults or memory leaks. This is because some abilities' "clone" method doesn't actually clone them entirely... The fix for divergent growth is a hack that works only for lords+mana producer combination, but I need a more "generic fix" in the long run...
- removed some unused code. Please review!
- Added protection from() auto keyword. It is still possible to use protection from [color] in abilities, but when it is not possible, please use protection from([target]) in auto=
-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)
- opponentshroud small bug fix
- added "kicker=" line and "kicker" auto keyword. See Vines of Vastwood (ZEN) for an example. WARNING: kicker= line has to be AFTER "mana=" line
- daily build
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.
- Updated Parser mechanism. Right now this doesn't change functionalities much, but should be more readable, and make it easier to code some new abilities in the future
- Fixed regenerate, broken with r532
- Death Ward now works
- I think "&&" now works with all abilities, needs to be tested...
- 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...
