Now client accept following options:
--disable-shm - disable shared memory usage
--enable-shm-uuid - use UUID for shared memory identifier
UUID is useful when a lot of clients starting simultaneously.
Needed for testing and was easier to implement than alternatives.
Before when CloseServer / LeaveGame applied there was no thread sync on server.
Now server use std::atomic bool for synchronization and graceful shutdown.
Following mode only work when client is started in spectator mode:
F5 - Pause / resume game by locking of pim
F6 - Toggle spectate-ignore-hero
F7 - Toggle spectate-skip-battle
F8 - Toggle spectate-skip-battle-result
F9 - Skip current battle
If running with --spectate/-s CPlayerInterface will appear even without human players.
Following command-line options also available:
--spectate-ignore-hero
--spectate-hero-speed=N
--spectate-battle-speed=N
--spectate-skip-battle
--spectate-skip-battle-result
Boolean options can also be changed in runtime via client console:
set spectate-ignore-hero on / off
Spectator mode also:
- Work with --onlyAI option when starting game or loading saves.
- Allow to use any cheat codes.
- Give recon on towns and heroes.
* new configuration option 'general.saveRandomMaps'
* maps being saved to 'userCachePath/RandomMaps'
* no deletion of old random maps
* map filename generated based on template name and random seed
If shared memory allocation failed on client server will be started without shared memory option.
Only downside of this is that server wouldn't be able to fallback to random port if default is busy.
* Avoid server crash on dummy connect / disconnect.
* Avoid server crash when host left from PreGame.
* Server print it's state with name when it's waiting for connection or in pregame.
* Server will use random port if specified port is busy.
