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.
I also tweaked slightly the psp icons to center the symbols, as they were too much to the right. (Be sure to copy the updated graphics/iconspsp.png to your Res folder.)
someone just forgot that both cases need to check if the interupt decision is 2 before changing it back to 0 (interupt) btw, once a stack is ready any NEW stack actions added, such as Ai interrupting your choice to not interrupt you will see the new stack actions to either cancel manuelly or "no to all"
sorry its not a bug fix for crashes! im really not skilled enough yet to fix the kinds of crashes were having.
exsample, 3 unresolved stack actions. with interrupt set to 5 secs, will allot you 15 secs to decide the first action, then 10 secs to decide the 2nd action, then 5 secs to decide the last action.
note: its multiplicative, this does not make each stack action into 15 sec interrupt.
as they resolve "extraTime" gets recalculated.
In this change, I made the CardGui's RenderBig() and AlternateRender() functions protected; anyone wanting to render a card simply calls RenderCard(), and the card drawing mode is passed along as a param.
I've also added my current work on the zone navigation system (class Navigator) - it's currently turned off for now (the override for this is inside of CardSelectorSingleton's Instance() call, simply comment out the NEW CardSelector and uncomment out the NEW Navigator line.) It's functional, but I want to do more testing before considering wiring it into the game options or something similar. (Also, note that it currently doesn't support the mouse functionality added by DJardin.)
Lastly, there's a bug crash fix in ActionStack that I tripped across while testing - basically, an illegal index value would have us walk off the bounds of a vector.
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
(I did a cursory check to make sure chinese still displays correctly - at a glance, I'm seeing what looks correct to someone who doesn't read the language :) )
CODE: SELECT ALL
#if defined (WIN32) || defined (LINUX)
char buf[4096], *p = buf;
sprintf(buf, "Some debug message showing variables %i and %i\n", variableA, variableB);
OutputDebugString(buf);
#endif
new paradigm:
CODE: SELECT ALL
DebugTrace("Some debug message showing variables " << variableA <<" and " << variableB);
No more dealing with formatting sprintf crap, just stream out variables. Also, DebugTrace washes out in release automatically. (TODO, need to sweep through the rest of the app to apply the changes to all the cases where OutputDebugString() is being called)
2) added two traces to follow adding/resolving things on the stack;
3) changed the uninformative "stack object" string that was the default for base class interrupts to use typeinfo(*this).name() so that you can actually see the derived class in the trace output. Here's a sample of what my trace output looks like now:
Action added to stack: Devoted Hero
Resolving Action on stack: Devoted Hero
Action added to stack: class NextGamePhase
Resolving Action on stack: class NextGamePhase
Action added to stack: class NextGamePhase
Resolving Action on stack: class NextGamePhase
Action added to stack: class StackAbility
Resolving Action on stack: class StackAbility
Action added to stack: class DrawAction
Resolving Action on stack: class DrawAction
4) replaced some hardcoded 0 / -1 values with their proper enums.
* 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.
- fix issue 65 (quads when no image load slowly in shop/deck editor)
- Possibly fix issue 92, please let me know if it reproduces
- Fix issue 97 (Deck editor: weird behavior of deck display)
- Fix issue 39 - please verify
- Issue 56 can probably be closed as well
- Fix issue 86
- 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
- fix issue 20 (triangle button usage inplay)
- close issue 27 (gold effect on the gold bar). Please feel free to change the gold glow if you come up with something better, but I consider this perfectly releasable now
- code cleanup
CAREFUL : this update REVERSES the triggers default actions.
* Make the right trigger opens the hand and the left trigger skips to
next phase.
* Add an option to reverse triggers (and thus revert to old style).
-Issue 31 fixed. Land and tokens don't use the stack anymore. Taking control of a card in opponent's battlefield doesn't trigger "spell cast" triggers either
- Fixed empty ActionStack "interrupt" messages
- If no attackers are declared, go straight to Combat end phase
- Once First strike damage is declared, attacking player needs to "actively" request a next phase event to go to the next damage step
- Second Damage step is called "Combat Damage (2)"
- UserRequestNextPhase is to be used knowing that it might not succeed
- Step change for GuiCombat is now computed at GameObserver::nextGamePhase
Note: Combat damage to creatures is not assigned when AI attacks. As this seems to be a problem with the previous SVN version, I4m still committing this change
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.
