Quest Mode source code changes

[mtgrares]

This is just for DennisBergkamp. I guess I could just private message but it is long, so I decided just to do this. (I can't imagine anyone else really wanting to read this, but...who knows.)

This update also requires the files questDecks-easy.txt, questDecks-medium.txt, and questDecks-hard.txt and they must have at least 3 decks names in each file. Attached are the files from Chris' 04-26-09 release: questData, questDecks-easy.txt, questDecks-medium.txt, and questDecks-hard.txt

In case you have other questions you can also check out the complete source that is in

As always post any questions that you have.

Gui_QuestOptions.java - added one line questData.readAIQuestDeckFiles();

Code: Select all

  void newQuestButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
  {
    String difficulty = "";

    if(easyRadio.isSelected())
      difficulty = questData.EASY;

    else if(mediumRadio.isSelected())
      difficulty = questData.MEDIUM;

    else if(hardRadio.isSelected())
      difficulty = questData.HARD;

    else if(veryHardRadio.isSelected())
      difficulty = questData.VERY_HARD;

    else //user didn't select a difficulty
      return;

    //give the user a few cards to build a deck
    questData.newGame(difficulty);

    copyAIDecks(questData, QuestData.loadData());
    QuestData.saveData(questData);

    questData.readAIQuestDeckFiles();

    //set global variable
    AllZone.QuestData = questData;

    dispose();
    new Gui_Quest();
  }

I put all of my changes to QuestData at the beginning. I start and end with the string //CHANGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I changed and then unchanged the constructor, so I think I didn't change it after all but I'm not 100% sure.

Code: Select all

//when you create QuestData and AFTER you copy the AI decks over
//you have to call one of these two methods below
//see Gui_QuestOptions for more details
//
//static readAIQuestDeckFiles(QuestData data, ArrayList aiDeckNames)
//OR non-static readAIQuestDeckFiles()
//which reads the files "questDecks-easy.txt", "questDecks-medium.txt","questDecks-hard.txt",
public class QuestData
{
  //CHANGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  //also changed Gui_QuestOptions.newQuestButton_actionPerformed()
  //copyAIDecks(questData, QuestData.loadData());
  //QuestData.saveData(questData);
  //questData.readAIQuestDeckFiles();

  //easy, medium, hard, very hard
  //easy gets a new booster pack after 1 wins
  //medium gets a new booster pack after after 2 wins, etc...
  //these numbers are just guesses
  private int[] addCardsArray = {1, 2, 2, 2};

  private ArrayList easyAIDecks;
  private ArrayList mediumAIDecks;
  private ArrayList hardAIDecks;

  public String[] getOpponents()
  {
    int difficulty[][] =
    {
      //if getWin() is < 4 return use easyAIDecks
      //if getWin() is < 7 return mediumAIDecks
      //else use hardAIDecks
      {4,7},   //easy difficulty
      {6, 12}, //medium difficulty

Ok, cool, I'll merge them

[Chris H.]

Ok, cool, I'll merge them

Yeah, very cool.

With my beta testing, Forge was dividing the quest into stages and was displaying the names for decks in the appropriate questDecks file.

The number of decks in the easy and medium groups are slowly growing. I finished several more decks today. It will likely be several more weeks before I have enough to release another update to these files.
