King is not that important that is first all the time. Is a minor spell vulnerability in the end.
Undead always comes first. Second would be dragon nature, even though right now is used only for necromancy.
This changes handling of several campaign-only creatures to be in line
with H3 - Sharpshooters, Enchanters and Azure/Rust/Faerie/Crystal
dragons.
Now these creatures will not be picked for
- random creatures in Refugee Camp
- as replacement for Random Monster object from map editor
Random map generator is not affected and can still pick this creatures
(confirmed to be same in H3)
- launcher uses json parser from vcmi lib instead of one from Qt #1469
- fixed abilities overrides for some creatures #1476
- fixed hero portraits in seer huts #1402
- ttf fonts will render text in utf-8 mode. Not really useful at this point
- new settings entry, available in launcher: encoding. Unused for now.
- found situation where JsonNode parser won't report warning: comma after last element in arrays or objects. Fixed this in our config files but parser change is disabled for now due to huge number of warnings from mods.
- loading of all objects (including H3 objects) will be directed by mod handlers
- common base for all handlers accessible from mod system (IHanderBase)
- json format changes: use struct with string ID's instead of vector
- fixed some gcc/clang errors and warnings
- fixed several cases of memory leaks and invalid memory access (mostly related to usage of bonus system and/or identifiers resolution)
Note that right now loading is much slower than before due to excessive json validation (or not fast enough validator)
- a lot of changes in configs;
- - update to creature format - abilities are now json structure
- - multiple bugfixes revealed by validation
- made schemas a bit more strict
- creatures data can be replaced via mods
- it is possible to validate vcmi configs using schemas (disabled)
