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.
* 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.
* AI libs registering shenanigans on android;
* Fixed resolution aspect + mouse event scaling;
* Proper server init/deinit (through android IPC);
Enabled threaded init in CMT;
* Prevented a deadlock in logger on some devices;
* Fixed frozen intro frame after interrupting the video;
Added android progressbar displaying during initial data loading;
* Hacky fix for choppy animations during heroes movement (should look better now, but it's definitely not a good solution);
* Changes/fixes for new android launcher building process;
* Fixed app hang after getting SDL_QUIT when activity was destroyed;
* Functioanal, configurable advmap swiping support;
* VCMI changes cleanup;
Added few missing VCMI_ANDROID guards on swipe mechanics;
* Removed unneeded sleep in server startup code for android;
* Removed android ioapi hack (fixed in newest ndk);
* Removed unused android's library loading logic;
* Added android's swipe option to settings schema;
* Moved NO_STD_TOSTRING to be defined in global.h instead of build files;
Saving is slowest part of VCMI and for testing purposes like benchmarking it's helpful to create saves less often.
When --testingsavefrequency=N is specified client going to save only once in N days.
Option only active if other testing options are specified too.
Option is useful for server profiling also let me test MP over network and much more.
Also there is issues with boost::interprocess on some systems under Windows and this is the way to bypass them.
This basically starts respecting the displayIndex setting. When
changing the fullscreen setting in-game, we read the display index
from the already existing window.
std::atexit generally does not play nice with static objects in other
translation units/libraries - there are no guarantees about the order
of destruction of static objects and atexit functions coming from
different translation units/libraries. Removing calls to atexit fixes
crashes when quitting the game. The crash happened during the dispose
function somewhere inside boost's locale library that is used
indirectly by the logger - some locale function tried to lock a static
mutex that was already destroyed.
That wouldn't be as big issue if problem affected few files, but it everywhere in codebase.
Fixed it everywhere since in most files that is the only code with wrong indentation.
gosolo: make AI to take over every human player in game. Second command would give control back to CPlayerInterface.
controlai: give control of one or all AI players to CPlayerInterface. Command "controlai orange" turn orange to human player while "controlai" without color specified make all AIs human controlled players.
Use these when you need to run multiple instances of VCMI simultaneously.
--testingport is port used to start server. Override port number from configuration files.
--testingfileprefix is prefix for auto save filenames.
Both options has to be set in order to work.
New widget specifically for volume settings.
Replace previous implementation using 10 toggle buttons.
Enable indicator animation
Fix indicator ghosting when drag and releasing
Add scroll capability to volume
Volume now can be adjusted from 0 - 99 with the mouse or the scroll wheel
bfs = boost::filesystem;
- Updateting filenames (std::string -> bfs::path) #1
- Added platform detection, and some specyfic boost::filesystem includes
to Global.h
- Updated CBasicLogConfigurator. Now class uses bfs::path pathes.
- Implemented "show intro" toggle in settings
- Install/Update/Enable buttons are now visible even when mod info is hidden
- Fixed behaviour of show mod info switch, added more obvious button to enable it
- Removed no longer used "Enable mods on install" switch
- Added buttons to open data, user data and temporary directories
- removed hoverText field
- split getHoverText() method into 3:
- - getObjectName() for generic name
- - getHoverText(Player) for player-specific text
- - getHoverText(Hero) for hero-specific strings
* enable video again
* set default bpp to 32 - SDL2 dont like 24 bit resolution
* now almost everything looks as expected (some issues are present though)
- This file is now split into multiple smaller files in mapObjects
directory
- CObjectHandler itself now contains only core classes (Handler itself,
CGObject and interfaces)
- Cleaned up excessive #include's through whole project
- AUTHORS file is now in UTF-8
- tags for desktop files
- fixed some typos
- better reaction on --help and --version commands
- vcmibuilder should work with both avconf and ffmpeg
priority than mods. Fixes#1685 and #1733
- fixed possible crash on exit in dispose() function
- (vcmibuilder) fixes problem with partial mp3 -> ogg conversion
1) spell handler refactored to support modding in general way
2) imunnity icons moved to WoG as they depends on wog`s graphics
3) introduced new class template for handlers (todo: use this in other handlers)
4) save format changed
5) introduced "absolute immunity" - unaffected by "the Orb" etc. (todo: use it in config)
6) new format documented on wiki, added json schema.
* more split of registertypes - fixes 32 mingw build
BIG NOTE TO LINUX USERS
All user data has been moved according to XDG specs:
- Game data (H3 files and mods) and saves: from ~/.vcmi to ~/.local/
- Temporary files, including logs: from ~/.vcmi to ~/.cache/vcmi
- Config files: from ~/.vcmi/config to ~/.config/vcmi
For compatibility VCMI will read game data from ~/.vcmi as well but this
is temporary behavior and will be removed
