Please note that I don't plan to update this file for future Wagic versions, so if anybody wants to take over, please do. :)
Some files were updated in the process:
- CardGui.cpp - exposed the card rarity info on the alternate render cards to the translation engine. Also switched the color of said info to white on green and blue cards, imho they are much easier to read now.
- GameStateDeckViewer.cpp - exposed the term "Collection" (shown under the scrollbar) to the translation engine.
- GuiPhaseBar.cpp - exposed the strings denoting "your turn", "opponent's turn", "you play", "opponent plays", to the translation engine.
- SimplePad.cpp - exposed the special keys ("Spacebar", "Confirm" etc.) to the translation engine. Had to increase the keypad width to make room for "Abbrechen" (Cancel). I couldn't translate it differently because there's also a *spell* called cancel, and to have a different translation in SimplePad, I would have had to change the official German name of the Cancel spell, which wasn't an option.
- MTGAbility.cpp - exposed the words from which the text of mana-producing abilities is constructed to the translation engine. Please review this one and suggest a better solution - the one I chose is somewhat awkward. The translation works, but when the whole translated sentence is constructed and gets returned, the calling procedure tries to translate it again (all other ability descriptions work this way, translation takes place *after* the string has been returned). However, for mana producing abilities this doesn't work, since the costructed string can take an infinite number of diffeent forms, depending on the mana produced, and we can't translate that. Hence I chose to translate the individual words during construction, with the described side effect that the engine now tries to translate them again later in the process (and the sentence ends up in missing.txt).
- Also, cheat mode menu items now aren't denoted by the ugly "(cheat)" appended to them, instead they are enclosed by asterisks. Uses less space.
- "Fix" issue 152. Please review. There is an extra cost when loading the shop...could probably be improved...the image is huge, and it's a png (so no 5551 improvement here...should we switch to a jpeg ?)

Although the feature is named "cheat mode", its main purpose is to provide a toolbox for content creators. Currently this means to help AI deck creators, but the cheat mode is easily extensible.
Features:
- To enable cheat mode, create a new profile with the super secret cheat name (shouldn't be hard to find - or just mail me if you don't want to look). Then, leave and re-enter the Options menu. You can now enable cheat mode on the first tab. Note: The secret profile name is *not* my original suggestion from the forum, I went with Jeck's alternative suggestion so that he won't have to cringe over bad puns everytime he's using it. ;)
- Complete collection: In cheat mode, there's a new option in the deck viewer, which makes sure that you have at least 4 of any card available.
- Deck integrity: When in cheat mode, and you load a deck with cards that are not present in your collection, then these cards won't be stripped from your deck any more. Instead, they are added to your collection.
- Money cheat: In cheat mode, when you click on an item in the shop, you get the option to steal 1,000 credits from the shopkeeper.
Please review my code - I just started with C++, I may make very obvious mistakes or use inelegant style. The sooner you point this out, the sooner I'll improve.
thanks to wololo and jeck for comments and suggestions.
Jeck: Do the setVisible and setHidden methods currently work? I tried to use them to hide a menu item, but they all seem to lead to empty methods - Perhaps placeholders for a not yet implemented functionality?
* The horsemanship ability literally required only one line of code, and could add an additional ~36 cards to Dr. Solomat's PT3 set. It seems functional, but someone please double check it anyways, as I've not worked with much of the actual game code yet.
- Added -O2 option in the PSP Makefile. In my tests, this highly increases the probability of getting a purple screen. Fixing this bug is THE priority :)
Yes, the card still does not for 100% do what the original card should do, but as long as no one will enchant a land of its own everything will be alright.
This needs some impact testing, to be certain it doesn't noticeably slow anything down. In a future version I'd like to memoize checking for zip file existence in each "Res/sets/XXX/" directory once during boot, and in the themed directory whenever switching themes.
-Load shop and backdrop in 5551. @Jeck feel free to implement the "default as 5551" for jpegs as well if you think it's worth it. I think this change is the safest for the time being, but that's mostly because I'm too lazy to touch JGE
* Restored quad locking to textures, but ignore quad locks when Release(JTexture*) is explicitly called. (I just copied and modified the code from the template, rather than do anything elegant).
* Some minor fiddling with cache error states.
* Removed all calls to Release(JQuad*).
* Updated flatten(). Prior flatten was buggy beyond belief.
* Done some extensive testing, but if this causes more trouble than it fixes, we'll have to revert. It's too close to release time.
