Progress Report, 2019 Q2 (Summer)

A bit over one year after the last progress report, here's the Jinteki.net open-source progress report for Q2 2019. I'm @lostgeek and have started working on the project since the implementation of Downfall and will try to make these changelogs a more regular thing. I guess that's what the earlier reports also had in mind -- but hey, one can try!

This report will only comprise the recent changes since the last server reboot on May 6th. We'll try to publish these changelogs whenever a new version goes online!

Big Changes

• New Feature: Paying multiple costs is now bundled together

  • Whenever more than one type of cost has to be paid, the game now shows a single prompt for all costs to be paid simultaneously. Here's the case of stealing an SDS Drone Deployment from a Server with Ben Musashi and Strongbox.
    

• New Feature: Paying costs from credit providing cards (recurring credits, Patchwork) is now implemented fully!

  • Whenever paying a cost, the game now looks at available credit sources and asks whether you want to use them. So for example, whenever you're pumping a breaker with a Cloak and Net Mercur out, the game will now display this:

  • The "old ways" of handling recurring credits still work, this is just a more convenient alternative

  • This works on the following actions: Installing cards, using stealth credits, using paid abilities on programs, credits during the run, trashing cards, playing Events, removing tags, rezzing cards, advancing cards, traces

    • For a full list of cards, look here!

Notable Changes

• Bugfix: Chat box should now auto-scroll correctly
• Bugfix: Deck legality is now displayed correctly together with a reason for illegality
• Refactoring: Accessing cards, forced trashing and access abilities were completely reworked. Accessing a Mumbad Virtual Tour should now be possible without any hiccups!
• New Feature: Several commands were added for further manual changing of the game state: /install-ice /peek n /summon n /swap-ice /swap-installed (see help for further information)

Small Changes

• Bugfix: Rejig now applies correct discount
• Bugfix: Pelangi now doesn't remove already applied subtypes from the list
• Bugfix: ETR and replacement effects are now registering correctly (Giordano ending a run after it is successful doesn't make it unsuccessful...)
• Bugfix: Fully Operational now triggers PAD Tap
• Cleanup: Director Haas Pet Project is now printing agenda-scored message correctly
• Bugfix: CtM triggered on Runner cards
• Bugfix: Architect Deployment Test was only working on ICE
• Bugfix: Fixed access step for Khusyuk, Top Hat or Information Sifting interacting with Ash or Eater
• Bugfix: Fixed Showing Off + Bacterial Programming (turning R&D upside down to be able to use existing routines was a fine idea until BP was printed)
• Bugfix: Mining Accident prompt does not get stuck anymore
• Bugfix: Möbius is not triggering all the time anymore
• Bugfix: Acacia + LLDS Energy Regulator now triggers correctly. Long live the jank!
