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
- music will be selected correctly after rapid leaving and reentering
town screen
- music sets are now store as single std::map instead of unnecessary
"map of maps"
- fixed computation of resume time for restarted/looped music tracks
- updated & clarified some comments
- converted C functions for SDL_Mixer callbacks into lambdas
- formatting fixes
Replaced ancient and obscure code that had separate routines for each
possible movement direction with generic version.
Fixes#1088 which apparently was due to bug in one of these routines

4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'identifier'
4250: 'class1' : inherits 'class2::member' via dominance

Static variable might be not yet initialized by the time it's used inside CGuiHandler constructor.
This fix let us avoid crash that occur when built with Xcode 8.2.1
* it is possible now to add casts and shoots OTF (f.e. with spell bonus)

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.
* 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.
Fix issue when town icon on adventure interface is not updated from village after vcmiarmenelos cheat used.
This didn't occur during normal gameplay since usually castleInt is active when you build something.
If quick combat calculation take a while it's possible to give hero movement command before battle is finished. This will lead to client freeze or crash. To avoid this we must lock adventure interface until battle calculation is finished.
Long time ago it's was used without prefix to make future switch from boost to std version easier.
I discusses this with Ivan and decide to drop these using from Global.h now.
This change wouldn't break anything because there was already code with prefix for each of three cases.
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.
Related movement code for client and AI is plumbed as well. Though at moment code still not finished because it's not teleport hero to the exit tile if he won battle.
