I found some nice tricks to sucefull compile... I have dev-cpp installed at D:\Dev-Cpp... so... my build.bat is:
Set Path=D:\Dev-Cpp\bin
Set MINGDIR=D:\Dev-Cpp
Mingw32-Make
This 'set' make the make/gcc that comes with dev-cpp works correct about includes and libs, at least, on my machine...
Also, in manalink.lds, i have this:
_memcpy = 0x4D5280;
Since, -nostdlib is on makefile, these 'internal' functions aren't added from gcc library, and must use the version inside magic.exe
Also, since now he have much information... How about using lua/activescripting for card coding... just make a common codepointer, with code, that look what the 'manalink.csv' id of the card, and call a scripting function based on it. The bad part... we need to expose lots of functions to script... the good point is that most cards can be coded in high-level language without recompiling the dll... since will load a manalink.lua or manalink.js with coded cards everytime that magic.exe starts...
- Code: Select all
// Example code in javascript for Bottle Gnomes
function card_1629(player, card, event) {
switch (event) {
case events.canActivate: return 1;
case events.activateAbility: engine.destroyCard(player, card, destroyAction.sacrifice);
case events.resolveAbility: engine.playerGainLife(player, 3);
}
return 0;
}
// "engine" is a exported object, with game functions...
// "events" and "destroyAction" is a object with constants defined...
This is just a general idea, and a example that how the cards will be code (javascript is much like C). I know that my idea isn't that good, but I use scripting on my applications since a long time, and helps a lot...
