We need to make sure it's not stay active during gameplay.
Proper fix would require actually removing menu interface from GH, but then GH needs refactoring too.
* Changed most gui classes to use shared pointers
* Store and use IImage as shared_ptr
* CSpellWindow redesign
* AdventureMapClasses cleanup
* CLabel: store background as smart pointer
* Store CObjectList items as smart pointers
* Removed destroy function of list item
* Store toggle buttons as smart pointers
* Use CComponent as smart pointer
* Attempt to fix artifact merchant drawing
New features for players:
* Loading for multiplayer. Any save could be used for multiplayer.
* Restart for multiplayer. All clients will restart together.
* Loading from single save.
* Hotseat mixed with network game. Multiple players per client.
* Now connection to server could be cancelled.
* Return to menu on disconnections instead of crashes.
* Restoring of last selected map, save or campaign on next run.
TLDR on important changes in engine code:
* UI: work with server separated from UI
* UI: all explitic blitting replaced with IntObject's
* UI: all new code use smart pointers instead of DISPOSE
* Gameplay always start through lobby controlled by server.
* Threads receiving netpacks now shared for lobby and gameplay.
* Campaigns: heroes for crossover now serialized as JsonNode.
* Universities, Scholars and Witch Huts may offer new skills
* Moved encode/decodeSkill to CSkillHandler
* Refactored CSkill interface and CSkill::LevelInfo image storage
* Legacy game constants renamed to ORIGINAL_XXX_QUANTITY
Addresses several related problems:
* Propagation / unpropagation of duplicate bonuses is inconsistent, causing bugs
* Duplicate bonuses never stack, which is not always intended behaviour (e.g. multiple copies of resource generating artifacts)
* Different bonuses always stack, which is not always intended behaviour (e.g. Angel + Archangel morale bonuses)
This is addressed as follows:
* Duplicate bonuses are never eliminated during propagation/inheritance.
* Unpropagation eliminates only a single copy of duplicated bonus
* Bonus receives a new field stacking that determines stacking behaviour:
* * empty string = no stacking with duplicates (default)
* * "ALWAYS" = stacks with duplicates & everything else
* * some other value = no stacking with bonuses with same stacking value
Also Morale/Luck window now hides non-stacking bonuses.
* Indirect spell effects loading
* Json serializer improvements
* spell->canBeCastAt do not allow useless cast for any spell
* Added proxy caster class for spell-created obstacles
* Handle damage from spell-created obstacles inside mechanics
* Experimental GameState integration/regression tests
* Ignore mod settings and load only "vcmi" mod when running tests
* fixed https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2765 (with tests)
* Huge improvements of BattleAI regarding spell casts
* AI can cast almost any combat spell except TELEPORT, SACRIFICE and obstacle placement spells.
* Possible fix for https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=1811
* CStack factored out to several classes
* [Battle] Allowed RETURN_AFTER_STRIKE effect on server side to be optional
* [Battle] Allowed BattleAction have multiple destinations
* [Spells] Converted limit|immunity to target condition
* [Spells] Use partial configuration reload for backward compatibility handling
* [Tests] Started tests for CUnitState
* Partial fixes of fire shield effect
* [Battle] Do HP calculations in 64 bits
* [BattleAI] Use threading for spell cast evaluation
* [BattleAI] Made AI be able to evaluate modified turn order (on hypothetical battle state)
* Implemented https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2811
* plug rare freeze when hypnotized unit shots vertically
* Correctly apply ONLY_MELEE_FIGHT / ONLY_DISTANCE_FIGHT for unit damage, attack & defense
* [BattleAI] Try to not waste a cast if battle is actually won already
* Extended JsonSerializeFormat API
* fixed https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2847
* Any unit effect can be now chained (not only damage like Chain Lightning)
** only damage effect for now actually uses "chainFactor"
* Possible quick fix for https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2860
-Position is now relative to castle interface
-The highest level of creature is now presented.
-Improve positioning of creature card, now it's look like in hd mod.
* Set vcmiclient as VS_STARTUP_PROJECT so it's will be default debug target instead of ALL_BUILD.
* Add AIs and server as dependencies for client so VS will suggest to rebuild them before debugging.
* CGameHandler::buildStructure was using wrong requirements for buildings in auto mode.
* Build mode loading was wrong in case of omitted value
* Show town hall slot for not built building only if it have normal build mode
Just want add fast some really nice shortcuts from HD mod.
1) [LShift] + LClick – splits a half units from the selected stack into
an empty slot. WARNING: The second behaviour ("smart split, ignores
single creatures") of this HD mod option is not done.
2) [LCtrl] + LClick – splits a single unit from the selected stack into
an empty slot.
3) [LCtrl] + [LShift] + LClick – split single units from the selected
stack into all empty hero/garrison slots
* margin option .json animation
* Use ranged attack animation for spell cast if there is no cast animation, display cast animation only on active casting.
