- screenshots, repository-only field, will be used by launcher to d/l
screeenshots
- screenshots will be viewed as thumbnails with switch to full view on
click
- changelog that is now visible in launcher
- somewhat better handling of submods by launcher
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
correct conditions.
All custom conditions are now validated using schema.
Note that some of scenarios may not work due to instant win/loss, mostly
because some placeholders fail to import (Mantis #1643)
campaign:
- new file MapFormatJson that implements small subset of Json map
format, as described on wiki
- vcmi will read overrides from file config/mapOverrides.json (currently
empty)
- Json writer for logical expressions
TODO: write data for map overrides
- By default, cmake will keep debug info
- removed warnings from adventure map infobox (part of #1636)
- adventure map infobox will refresh on artifact changes (part of #1636)
- moved terrain music files to terrains.json file
- player should act before AI in all games, not only campaigns
- new property: affinity (might/magic) since in mods it is impossible to
rely on odd/even numeric indexes
- property commander is now part of hero class
- town hall slots now use string ID's
- converted building requirements to new format
- "upgrades" property from buildings now uses string ID's
- several fixes for improved support of alternative creatures
- removed no longer needed "id" property from structures
Old mods should still work but will produce error messages during
validation
- fixed starting armies of some heroes, including Bron #1602
- (debian) added vcmi-dbg package with debug information
- proper randomization of hero secondary skills, fixes#1603
- second capitol will show up as disabled immediately #1604
- proper deserialization of boost::variant
- empty file will no longer crash JsonNode parser
- fixed some compiler warnings
- buiding/structure lists must use object format. This may break some
outdated mods.
- generic support for logical expressions that consist from and/or/not
operators.
- string ID's for buidings are now actually used.
- Minor improvements to JSON validation
- Cleanup in SDL_Extensions.cpp
- Implemented new propery for creature format: idle animation duration
- Disabled idle animation of some of conflux creatures (was clearly
broken)
compiled first.
- changed format of modSettings.json, VCMI should properly update file
on the first run.
- implemented property "defaultTavern" that acts as default value for
"tavern" entry in hero class and town formats.
- 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)
- 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.
- new fields in mod format, for use with mod manager (check config/shemas/mod.json for details)
- removed some 0.92 compatibility from mods loading
- several compile fixes
- 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
- 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
- removed unused functionality from CCreatureAnimation
- simplified postioning of units in battle, should fix remaining issues with unit positioning
- fixed unit tests compilation
- disabled intro menu animation for now - different position in different versions (WoG, SoD)
- removed no longer needed entry for Linux video from filesystem
* creature abilities bonus properties are updated when the creature id is assigned
* removed decrease morale ability from config file (it was duplicating the one from ZCRTRAIT.TXT
- WoG should be optional, all remapped files are listed in WoG/config/wogFileOverrides.json
- fixed several cases of incorrect positioning of creatures in battles
- some missing sounds for battle effects
- negative luck support, disabled by default
- a bit hackish detection of WoG presence, VCMI should work on SoD-only installs
- mods can access only ID's from dependenies, virtual "core" mod and itself (optional for some mods compatibility)
- metadata field for JsonNode, used to track source mod
- moved wog creatures into wog mod
- (linux) convertMP3 option for vcmibuilder for systems where SDL_Mixer can't play mp3's
- 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)
