Previously, CBattleAnimation & inheritors were controlling animation
ordering - e.g. which animations should play after which.
Now, this is controlled by caller, e.g. BattleInterface & its
controllers.
H3 animations are fairly linear and can be split in stages which are
already somewhat implemented via waitForAnims

Before when CloseServer / LeaveGame applied there was no thread sync on server.
Now server use std::atomic bool for synchronization and graceful shutdown.
Following mode only work when client is started in spectator mode:
F5 - Pause / resume game by locking of pim
F6 - Toggle spectate-ignore-hero
F7 - Toggle spectate-skip-battle
F8 - Toggle spectate-skip-battle-result
F9 - Skip current battle
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.
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.
TeleportDialog is based off BlockingDialog and it's needed for server to ask client what teleport hero should be teleported to.
It's also contain list of possible exits, identifier of currently used channel and also impassable option.
If impassable set to true then client will remember that current teleport channel is lack of exit point.
- moved SoundBase.h to lib since it contains shared data
- added RMG info to object format. Note that data is not yet imported in
configs
- slightly updated API of object handlers
- 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
priority than mods. Fixes#1685 and #1733
- fixed possible crash on exit in dispose() function
- (vcmibuilder) fixes problem with partial mp3 -> ogg conversion
- replaced CDefObjInfo with ObjectTemplate class
- ObjectTempate is a direct member of objects instead of pointer with
shared ownership across CMap, handler and game objects
- simplified handling of objects that can change appearance (e.g. towns)
- all object queries regarding object appearance/blockmaps use h3m pos
instead of relative positions
- removed need of modhandler::reload
- cleanup of some old code
- 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
* Reverted std::bind to boost::bind. std::bind on Visual 2012 doesn't work in some cases (especially with std::ref), not sure why [but it seems to be a bug, since 2013 preview compiles the same code fine].
* Move assignment operator for VS 2012.
- BOOST_FOREACH -> for
- replaced several boost classes with std (e.g. unordered)
- removed gcc-4.5 workarounds
- ran clang c++11 migration tool to detect some cases:
- - pointer initialized with "0" to nullptr
- - replace for with iterators with range-based for
- - use auto in some situations (type name specified twice, avoid long iterators type names)
- use std versions of function, bind and ref
- OVERRIDE -> override
- NULL -> nullptr
- use std versions of random distributions
NOTE: this may be last revision that supports gcc-4.5
- support for one more Russian localisation, fixes#1321
- fixed icon for level 1 town hall, #1294
- correct portraits for first heroes from mods, #1297 and probably #1298
And a lot of gcc compile fixes
Exchange between heroes is now a proper first-class query. Fixes#1269. #66 should also be finally fully fixed.
VC projects: /Zm flag to fix compilation issues with recent Boost.
- 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)
Minor changes:
* default log level set to trace
* LOG_TRACE raii guardian lifetime will last till the end of block
* compile fixes
* minor refactorings
* It is possible to set the battle ai that'll be used by neutrals by typing in VCMI console:
setBattleAI <AIName>
VCAI also respects that setting and uses given AI as its battle back-end.
- town screen is mostly implemented, has some minor issues
- factions are now separate from towns, neutrals have faction with id=9

- replaced most access to builtBuildings with isBuilt() method
- replaced id's with enums for town subtype and buildings id's
* Updated MSVC project files
* Filesystem: My version of .SND archive does not have \0 after WAV extension. Fixed (though hardcoded 3-char extension length).
* New bonus types: BLOCK_MAGIC_ABOVE for blocking casting spells above given level and BLOCK_ALL_MAGIC for blocking all magic.
* Heavy rewrite of battle callbacks. Fixed some minor bugs. Code reusage between lib/client/server (removed proxy calls). Better access control and support for various perspectives.
* Fixed#1031
* Fixed Orb of Inhibition and Recanter's Cloak (they were incorrectly implemented). Fixed#97.
* Fleeing hero won't lose artifacts. Spellbook won't be captured. Fixed#980.
* Fixed crash when attacking stack dies before counterattack (ie. because of Fire Shield)
* Server does some basic checks if action requests during battle are valid
* Minor stuff.
-- new files: client/AdventureMapClasses.*
-- implemented all missing details from infobox
- textinput can handle numbers as input
- fixed several bugs caused by CIntObject changes
- fixed#988
