New rules based on vanguard, 3 new random game modes, one is tribal and one uses any card in the game.
Several corrections and bugs fixes. Cards with x in their cost and that can target any player used to crash the game.
Teaching AI new things and changing values of efficiency.
You can have multiple "Jace" planeswalkers, you can't have two of the exact same name (no two Jace, the mind sculptor).
Also fix stack display and removed unnecessary code (border for card is
targetted/targetter since we used forcedborder in actionstack). Also
fixed some cards
other={convoke} name(Convoke)
delve
other={delve}
they might be able to be added directly to the real manacost.
added an ability that grants an ability while the source remains tapped
grant ability grantend...
added dethrone
abilities=dethrone
added support of multitargeting to extra cost, it acts the same as normal multitargeting, repeats dopay() the effects for each.
lots of changes, many bug fixes,
first
added auto=count(targetchooser)
and countedamount wparsed int
they work together for cards where it is difficult to get working without knowing in advance how many we had ie: exile blah creatures, for each creature you exiled do effect.
auto=count(creature|mybattlefield)
auto=moveto(exile)
auto=draw:countedamount
it takes into account token creatures, which our old methods did not.
second, added "freeze" which is a "frozen" that automatically taps your target for you, for use when nesting or whenever needed where it was difficult to nest the ability with tap included.
added devotion for "iroas"
added reveal:x and scry x
reveal contains optionone/optiononeend ; optiontwo/optiontwoend ; repeat; afterrevealed/afterrevealed end.
this ability has heavy use of targetListIsSet(<amount>) and upto:amount, you MUST be certain that all cards being revealed have an action that removes them from reveal either in the first, second, or 3rd ability.
there are over 300 examples in the new card code, the ability is VERY easy to understand.
scry contains automatic put on top, put on bottom, then scrycore/scrycoreend which is an ability to fire.
it also contains keywords, dontshow which is nested in scrycore, scry reveals, puts on top or bottom, then reveal AGAIN, and does an effect, dontshow eliminates the 2nd revealing.
is also contains "delayed" keyword, which delays the ability until AFTER the core fires.
added bestow. update rules mtg.txt!!!!
examples are in primitives, every bestow card was supported.
added a new lord based on varibles and restrictions
while(restriction{morbid})
while(varible:blah)
this simplifies and expands on this(, allowing you to even use while(cantarget together and check if a card is targetable by the variable. examples are in primitives
added token(by card name)
auto=token(Eldrazi Scion)
will search primitives and card dats for this card and give it to you as a token.
valid card dat info is still required.
added variable delirium
added restriction madnessplayed to allow checking if the card was played with madness.
added restriction "geared" for checking if a card has equipment on it.
added abilities words
skulk
menace <--cant be blocked except by 2 or more, if you dont block it with 2 or more we automatically unassign the single blocker and the creature is considered not blocked.
nosolo <--cant attack alone
mustblock <---if you dont assign as a blocker, we assign automatically the first thing it can block legally.
changed iscolorless back to "colorless"
enjoy, cards coming soon, theyre coded but im debating on not alpha sorting, cards being added this patch 965 uniques.
there is a section of the commit which was just VS2016 normalizing line ends, sorry if it makes it a cluster mess.
Fix Devotion Count example you have Mogis, God of Slaughter(2 B R),
Ashenmoor Liege(1 B/R B/R B/R), and Rakdos Cackler (B/R) - will be 6
Devotion to Red and Black, since you count the symbol, B/R (hybrid mana)
should return as 1.
{1} can be paid with anything
{c} is a mana supertype, it pays for diamond and colorless.
however all card such as "sol ring" now add diamond instead of old colorless.
reverted waste to {c}, but moved it under counters to avoid crashes. parse for a counter if its not a counter than parse {c} otherwise we would end up with case where it was parsing {c} instead of building counters or vice versa.
The symbol {C} will be used going forward to represent one colorless
mana. The numerical and variable mana symbols ({1}, {2}, and so on,
including {X}) will still be used, but only to represent costs that can
be paid with any type of mana.
example card: To cast Spatial Contortion, you pay two mana: one generic
(that's the {1}) and one colorless (that's the {C}). The generic mana
cost can be paid with any type of mana—that means any color or
colorless. But the {C} is different. That can be paid only with
colorless mana.
usage tap lands to produce mana then sacrifice an offering... example
you have Guttersnipe in play, it has a mana cost of {2}{R}, and you have
Patron of the Akki in hand that costs {4}{R}{R}. You need to produce
{2}{R} mana first before casting Patron of the Akki, then choose
Guttersnipe as an offering.
- saves source card in storedSourceCard for ATransform
- adds support for WParsedInt in pay as "pay[[{value:WParsedInt}]]":
name=Spell Rupture
target=*|stack
auto=if cantargetcard(*|opponentstack) then transforms((,newability[pay[[{value:power:highest:creature:opponentbattlefield}]] name(pay {value} mana) donothing?fizzle])) forever
text=Counter target spell unless its controller pays {X}, where X is the greatest power among creatures you control.
mana={1}{U}
type=Instant
- adds support for {x} in *some* “pay” abilities (Syncopate):
name=Syncopate
target=*|stack
auto=transforms((,newability[pay[[{x}]] name(pay {value} mana) donothing?fizzleto(exile)])) forever
text=Counter target spell unless its controller pays {X}. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard.
mana={X}{U}
type=Instant
- support of "name(pay {value} mana)" in pay abilities to show actual number to pay (see example above)
added
"whenever a creature enters the battlefield you may pay {1}, if you do gain one life"
conditional may pay({cost}) effect
this version is a super type ability, and can only be used in certain combos.
to nest you will need to use it in its subtype pay[[{cost}]] effect
pay keyword can have sideeffects coded as follows
pay[[{1}]] life:1?life:-1
pay one mana and gain 1 life, if you dont then you lose one life. notice no space between the abilities and the question mark.
added castcard()
a method to cast a targeted card, this contains the following subkeywords which can be used in combinations
(normal)
(restricted)
(copied)
(noevent)
castcard(restricted copied noevent) for example will cast a card that is a copy or the spell without sending a cast event only when the spell is castable.
"normal" subkeyword cast the actual spell, not a copy.
extended the use of exiledeath to everyzone, any card going from any zone to graveyard is placed in exile if it has exiledeath.
limited swipe left to open hand only when hand is closed view.
"moveto(" can now be named.
Cleaned Manacost.cpp
My observation so far when paying X in activated abilities, when X doesn't work, I press escape to get in the main menu and play another game(test again), then X activated ability will work. I really don't know where to start/look for the cause of it.
this can also be used for "equipped creature has unattach and blah" cards using
auto=teach(creature) {unattach}:blah
also corrected a long standing guiupdating issue. a long long time ago a replace was removed from GuiPlay::Update in hopes to increase performance no amount of performance increase is worth having cards not updating thier position after an event recieve happens. this means curse will finally go to the correctly choosen players battlefield, equipment will no longer just linger after its target dies, auras won't stay on battlefield after a card is exiled. ect. no preformance decrease noticed, if anyone else notices one let me know.
format is as follows
HINT#combo hold(blah|myhand)^until(blah|mygraveyard)^until(blah|opponentshand)^restriction{type(creature|mybattlefield)~morethan~2}^cast(blah) targeting(blah|mygraveyard)^totalmananneeded({g}{g}{r}{u}{2})
the ai can be told to hold more then one card, until as many condiations as you want are met, until( is a TC and can basically be used in a fasion of saying "hold arbor elf until you have a lord of atlantas in play and a gaint growth in you hand"
once the condiations are met you can later tell it to cast(gaint growth) targeting(arbor elf[fresh]|mybattlefield)...
I also included the whole of the games restrictions system...
so you can get really really creative with this so far.
the next thing I will do is ability targeting and card favoring.
{x:black}
{x:color}
creating a snapshot of a card instance in garbage for stored cards, the issue with previous version was it was using base model value instead of what the storedcard was actually at the time it was in battlefield. example, animal boneyard test was coming up 1 toughness short becuase the creature storedcard pointed to was sent to graveyard for the sacrifice.
changed myStored TargetChooser to use storedSourceCard instead, as this is supposed to point to the actual card and not a snapshot.
