- moved all traslatable strings into one json file, removed threats.txt file
- implemented "spellbook animation" option
- fixed missing central tower when attacking fort
- split JsonNode.cpp into JsonNode and JsonDetail files
- validation should be notably faster (at least 10% faster loading)
- support for "format" field, allows checking existance of files.
- minor fixes in schemas
- msk/msg files are now optional
- boost-locale library is now required (boost 1.48 or higher)
- Unicode namespace that contains UTF-8 handling
- All non-ASCII strings from H3 data will be converted to UTF-8 during loading
- All JSON files MUST use UTF-8.
- H3 data encoding can be selected via launcher or directly in config file
- 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.
- credits screen will use multi-line label instead of hackish usage of text box
- campaign intro movie player now plays voiced intro
- minor fixes to last commit
- renamed some methods/classes with better names + some consistency (no more print, setTxt and setText that do exactly same thing)
- TextBox now contains label widget instead of inheriting it
- smooth scrolling support (up/down buttons still scroll one line)
- vcmi can play music files from archives
- converted resource_reward fields in bank_config into json object, fixes 3000 gems reward in shipwreck
- some compile fixes for minizip
- minizip library is now part of sources, located at lib/minizip
- cmakefiles will compile minizip as dynamic library (Note: only 2 files used by vcmi are included in minizip.so)
- zip files can be loaded similar to other archives via filesystem.json
- mods can use Content.zip instead of Content/ directory. Files in directory will replace files in archive.
- removed CResourceLoader class in favor of one that implements resource loader interface
- removed global pool of files, in favour of more dynamic approach
- renamed some files to match current situation
All these changes are needed mostly for future mod manager + .zip support
