[Card] Add a setting for the language used in card search (#7314)
* [Card] Add a setting for the language used in card search

Localized card names and texts can now be searched too, controlled by a
'Language used in card search' toggle (English, selected card language, or
both) on the general settings page. Untranslated cards always keep matching
in English.

Removed the redundant local copy of the URL templates list in the localized
picture loader while here.

* [Card] Bind search language per FilterString instance

The peg parser rules are set up once per process, so the GenericQuery and
OracleQuery rule actions could not capture per-instance state. Instead of
storing the search language in a process-global that FilterString instance
methods mutate, hand it to the rule actions through a thread-local parse
context and copy it into the filter closures they produce. Card evaluation
in FilterString::check no longer reads any process-global state, and each
instance keeps the language it was built with; constructing one instance no
longer changes what unrelated instances (deck filter, drop-to-hand, zone
views) match against.

The card database display model stores the raw query and rebuilds the
FilterString when the search language changes, since the language is now
bound at parse time.

Add tests for the English/Selected/Both search modes, the English fallback
for untranslated cards, and per-instance language independence.

* [Card] Pass the card search language to deck and zone card searches

Wire the two remaining FilterString consumers to the configured card search
language so card-name matches respect it everywhere:

- DeckFilterString now takes the search language and mode, exposes them to its
  [[card name]] rule action via a thread-local parse context (same pattern as
  FilterString), and the engine's card database uses them for content search.
- ZoneViewZone reads the card language from CardsDisplaySettings when applying
  its search filter, and the reveal-zone widget re-applies the active search
  when the language setting changes.
- The deck-storage search re-runs its filter against the current card language
  setting, including live re-application when the setting changes.

Game-action targeting (DlgMoveTopCardsUntil) intentionally keeps evaluating
against English card names.

* [Card] Rename CardSearchLanguage to SearchLanguageMode

* [Card] Restore displaced namespace doc in card_localization.h

* [Filters] Pass CardSearchLanguage as a single struct

* [CardSearchModel] Match English and localized names in Both mode

Card names are stored in both English and localized forms, so search for
matches in both during the 'Both' search mode instead of checking only
the localized name.

* [CreateTokenDialog] Fetch cardsDisplay settings inside the apply lambda

Avoid capturing the raw settings pointer in the lambda: resolve the card
language and card search language from the settings cache at call time so
the values are always current when the search language is re-applied.

Cockatrice

Cockatrice is an open-source, multiplatform application for playing tabletop card games over a network. The program's server design prevents users from manipulating the game for unfair advantage. The client also provides a single-player mode, which allows users to brew while offline.

This project uses C++ and the Qt libraries.

Kudos to all our amazing contributors ❤️

Code

To contribute code to the project, please review our guidelines first.
We maintain two tags for contributors to easier find issues to potentially work on:

  • Good first issue
    Issues tagged in this way provide a simple way to get started. They don't require much experience to be worked on.
  • Help wanted
    This tag is used for issues that we are looking for somebody to pick up. Often this is for feature suggestions we support, but don't have the time to work on ourselves.

For both tags, we're willing to provide help to contributors in showing them where and how they can make changes, as well as code reviews for submitted changes.
We'll happily advice on how best to implement a feature, or we can show you where the codebase is doing something similar before you get too far along - put a note on an issue you want to discuss more on!

You can also have a look at our Todo List in our Code Documentation or search the repo for \todo comments.

Documentation CI Docs

There are various places where useful information for different needs are maintained:

Cockatrice tries to use the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide to ensure consistent documentation. We encourage you to improve the documentation by suggesting edits based on this guide.

Translation Transifex Project

Cockatrice uses Transifex to manage translations. You can help us bring Cockatrice and Oracle to your language and just adjust single wordings right from within your browser by visiting our Transifex project page. The Webatrice web client manages its own translations in its repo.

Check out our Translator FAQ for more information about getting involved, and join a group of hundreds of others!

Build CI Desktop CI Docker

Dependencies: (for minimum versions search our CMake file)

Oracle can optionally use some packages to load compressed card files:


Basic compilation steps:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

You can then

  • Create a Cockatrice installation inside the release folder:
    make install
    
  • Or make an installation package specific to your system:
    make package
    

Note

Detailed compiling instructions can be found in the Cockatrice wiki at Compiling Cockatrice


The following flags (with their non-default values) can be passed to cmake:

Flag Description
-DWITH_SERVER=1 Build Servatrice server
-DWITH_CLIENT=0 Don't build Cockatrice client
-DWITH_ORACLE=0 Don't build Oracle card database tool
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug Compile in debug mode
Enables extra logging output, debug symbols, and much more verbose compiler warnings
-DWARNING_AS_ERROR=0 Don't treat compilation warnings as errors in debug mode
-DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=1 Configure make to update the translation .ts files for new strings in the source code
Note: make clean will remove the .ts files
-DTEST=1 Enable regression tests
Note: make test to run tests, googletest will be downloaded if not available

Run

Cockatrice is the game client
Oracle fetches card data
Servatrice is the server

Docker

You can build an image & deploy a Servatrice (Cockatrice server) container using Docker and our Dockerfile yourself.

For more details, look into our wiki section on Setting up Servatrice.
You'll also find more hints on our pre-build image there, or the docker-compose file which will configure and run both a MySQL server and Servatrice.
