* 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.
- config folder with all json files is used via new FS API
- fixed campaigns loading. Replaced "detect h3m starts" heuristics with CCompessedStream::getNextBlock()
- completely replaced CLodHandler, removed bitmaph and spriteh
- replaced CLodStream in favour of CCompressedStream (2 new files)
- renamed CResourceLoaderFactory and ResourceIndetifier to shorter names
NOTES:
- campaign loading is currently broken. Will fix.
- I am going to remove several unused files in several days (e.g. LodHandler)
- - mostly remove usage of (de)activateSomething functions
- - CIntObject's can be safely deleted in active state or without removing from parent first
- - Added CWindowObject to use as base of all windows (will be required for such features as shadows)
Report any crashes or glitches - it should not cause any issues apart from more console output.
TODO:
- remove redundant (de)activate and show(All) calls
- decrease usage of blitAtLoc\printAtLoc methods
- switch all windows to new base
- disabled most of now unused code for changing resolution
- added missing spell effect sounds
- adventure map spells sounds
- remaining fixes for big endian systems
* Save game screen and returning to main menu will work if game was started with --start option
* GUI controls can selectively capture keyboard events. CTextInput won't capture Enter. Fixes#654.
* all lock/unlock and unlock/lock pairs are done by RAII guards now
* fixed two possible crashes at the end of battle when last stack was killed by spell. That should fix#749 and #752.
* fixed a very nasty race condition, eliminating possible deadlock at the start of battle when human hero has tactics
* fixed#422

- fixed#781
Initial support for IF:M elements and string formatting.
Various minor changes related to ERM interpreter.
The following script should be functional now:
ZVSE
!?PI;
!!DO1/0/6/1&v2777<>1:P0;
!?FU1;
!!IF:M^Hello world number %X16!^;
* Changed PreGame event handling and update/draw order.
* Changed mouse cursor drawing in PreGame
* Fixed linux bug where main menu WOG animation gets played only once, windows/linux video handling is now more similar
* Minor code improvements
-- Reduced memory usage for images with margins
-- Implemented RLE compression
- Linux-related changes:
-- build system updated to include changed paths
-- new dependency: boost-program-options
-- configure option --disable-debug will produce optimized build
- Several gcc compile fixes
- Optimized CPU usage on town screens
- Removed several includes from headers
- Possible fix for #496
-It is possible to toggle adventure AI on / off typing "ai" in the console (default is true)
-General cleaning and formatting of code
-Some minor optimizations
-Teal console log for AI
AI tends to hang in the maze of mutexes and current player interface, further investigation is needed.
Fixed#580
minor tweaks
It's possible to connect several clients (running on localhost) and enter MP pregame. The actual MP game still not playable. (though it can be started)
Please don't touch CGI->state directly in client code - use callbacks instead. I'd like to make some mechanics-critical handlers in CGI const - a lot of work, certain changes have been done here.
Implemented and tested are
victory:
Defeat hero
Capture town
Defeat monster
Flag dwellings
Flag mines
Lose:
Loss hero
Time expire
**
Some others may work but not has been tested yet.
I've added a new page in VCMI Status spreadsheet with status of various victory/loss conditions.
Restructured thread structure: no new thread on yourturn, instead of that introduced update() method called by thread dispatching GUI events.
Further changes are planned.
Fixed a file handle leak.
Bumped revision to 0.74b (linux).
Reworked the build system to remove uneeded dependencies (linux).
Removed use of PATHSEPARATOR since Windows can use / too.
* recalculating paths only after finished movement / switching selection
* moving hero uses "new" pathfinder
* moving hero by arrow keys / numpad
* VCMI window should start centered
* fixed pairing Subterranean Gates
* fixed issues with creatures sounds after loading
* several minor changes and improvements
* r-click popups on selected town/hero.bonus and teams in pregame
* disabled music due to bugs in SDL_mixer and smpeg (probably it was the source of reported random crashes / hangups)
* minor fixes
* version set to 0.72
* integrated save format version to the CLoadFile
* fixed problems on entering non-number as resolution number
* minor improvements
* Mines / Resource Silos won't give income in the first turn
* Double click on hero slot during stack splitting won't crash
* Fixed problems with updating buttons / minimap
