Disabled the following (for MSVC only) that couldn't (or shouldn't) be fixed.
4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'identifier'
4250: 'class1' : inherits 'class2::member' via dominance
4251: 'type' : class 'type1' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'type2'
4275: non dll-interface class 'type1' used as base for dll-interface class 'type2'
Replaced const TBonusListPtr with TConstBonusListPtr where necessary
Replaced const std::shared_ptr<T> with std::shared_ptr<const T> where necessary.
Removed superfluous use of const.
Replaced const std::shared_ptr<T> with const std::shared_ptr<T> & in function parameters and ranged for-loops.
* The reason is,
the mine has attribute hidden=true;
when enemy unit moves, the code in BattleInfo.cpp MoveUnit() (line 817) will update the revealed to true;
then in the CGameHandler.cpp handleDamageFromObstacle() (line 4846) is checking , and the condition battleIsObstacleVisibleForSide() will return true, so the effect will not be triggerred.
Resolution:
1. Remove the "revealed=true" in moveUnit(), and in handleDamageFromObstacle, remove the "const" restrict for obstacle, and then update revealed to true;
2. After the takeDamage function, add a pack "BattleObstaclesChanged" to update the obstacle to be "revealed=true".

Now client accept following options:
--disable-shm - disable shared memory usage
--enable-shm-uuid - use UUID for shared memory identifier
UUID is useful when a lot of clients starting simultaneously.
Needed for testing and was easier to implement than alternatives.
Before when CloseServer / LeaveGame applied there was no thread sync on server.
Now server use std::atomic bool for synchronization and graceful shutdown.
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.
If shared memory allocation failed on client server will be started without shared memory option.
Only downside of this is that server wouldn't be able to fallback to random port if default is busy.
* 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;

* Fixed app hang after getting SDL_QUIT when activity was destroyed;
* Functioanal, configurable advmap swiping support;
* VCMI changes cleanup;

Before: built-in spells appear on first move of the creature
After: all built-in spells appear before the first move but after tactics
Example: Air Shield for experienced skeletons
The cause of the assertion failure at BattleStackAttacked::applyGs "at"
was shooting and casting some spell in handleAttackBeforeCasting() and
eventually killing the whole stack. Fix: filter dead stacks in the end of
handleAttackBeforeCasting().
All suitable codes can now be used with "ai", "all" color or with object ID:
vcminahar all - will apply cheat to all heroes of all players
vcminahar ai - will apply cheat to all heroes of AI players
vcminahar blue - will apply it to all heroes of blue player
vcminahar 553 - will apply cheat to hero with instance id of 553 if it's exist
Cheats without options work as before.
Bonus * -> std::shared_ptr<Bonus>
This cures the following problems:
1) Memory corruption at exit. Some Bonus-es were deleted twice (mods?).
2) Memory leaks. Some Bonuses were not deleted.
3) Reduce the number of "Orphaned child" messages.
Valgrind reports 0 leaked memory now and no invalid reads/writes.
Now server properly check allowed actions for CGGarrison. Fix issue 2303
Server now allow all stack arrangement as long as troops stay inside garrison.
It's possible to put more troops inside using swap/merge/split, but not take anything out if it.
Now server-side code should always use CRandomGenerator::getDefault which is serialized in GH.
CGameState::getRandomGenerator should be only used from GS code and CPackForClient-based applyGs.
This is easiest way to make server RNG available to CBattleInfoCallback.
Now server, client and gamestate have own RNG instance.
Only server and gamestate RNGs are serialized.
This one fix issue 2455. We still need to do something with ArtifactID::ART_LOCK or ids for artifact from mods since they might conflict with each other.
Now damage is limited to total health of defending stack and clone have no file shield damage. In same time damage calculation is likely remain incorrect.
Aurora Borealis give hero spells of all levels even if only first level of mages guild is built. Widsom requirement is still remain in place of course.
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.
Everything work as intended except starting point not included in path.
So we send BattleDrawbridgeStateChanged package when already standing on bridge hex.
Movement to blocking hex 94 not yet properly handled as stack movement code need to be rewritten first.
Also gate destruction not immidiately affect drawbridge state.
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.
With old embark cost calculation pathfinder may end up thinking that hero can embark/disembark while have less movement points than base movement cost is. Now hero would be only able to embark / disembark if we have enough movement points to step on that tile. This rule is also valid for situation when hero have Admiral's Hat as in H3 even if hero don't have embark penalty he still use move points for embark and disembark.
Problem was found as it's was causing infitite loop in AI. Server of course rejected attempt to embark with less than 100 movement points while pathfinder tell AI that it's can still embark with 93 movement points.
Initially wanter to name main class differently and back then getCost make sense.
Then renamed class to CPathfinderHelper, but forgot to rename function back.
Now pathfinder take into account different bonuses for different tuns. So if you only have FLYING_MOVEMENT bonus from Fly spell for one turn then pathfinder will only let you use air layer within one turn only.
That work for cost calculations too. Let's say you have two bonuses:
- FLYING_MOVEMENT with 20% penalty for next 2 turns
- FLYING_MOVEMENT with 40% penalty for 5 turns
Now pathfinder using correct penalty for each turn so movements in air layer going to be more expensive on 3-5 turns.
Transit is new option for hero movement. If it passed for movement then hero can get get on tile without visiting of object on it.
Currently it's will be only allowed is object under destination is teleport.
Just like TeleportDialog it's based off showBlockingDialog, but as number of package is higher when possible showTeleportDialog will be after other dialogs handling code.
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.
This one is replicating original game behaviour and fixes issue 1990 and related to issue 2084.
Currently this is mainly caused problem with teleporters which lead to crash in AI due to unexcepted hero loss.
The vcmiserver application will first try to initialize various things
before parsing the commandline arguments. This leads to the program only
outputting an initialization error when it cannot initialize instead of
parsing arguments like --help. This patch moves the argument parsing to
earlier in program execution to avoid this behaviour.
bfs = boost::filesystem;
- Updateting filenames (std::string -> bfs::path) #1
- Added platform detection, and some specyfic boost::filesystem includes
to Global.h

6) new format documented on wiki, added json schema.
* more split of registertypes - fixes 32 mingw build
- fog of war will be initialized after bonuses are set (needed if heroes
have scouting or arts with sight bonus)
- victory condition "control all dwellings" also requires golem factory/
- it is possible to dismiss troops during exchange between heroes
- Heroes now will use real path cost and their movement, which has numerous advantages:

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

- it is possible to either change number of days without towns or even
remove this loss condition completely
- possibility of custom win/loss text and icons in pregame (no longer
connected to win/loss conditions)
Still missing:
- No interface to pass custom events/victory conditions into the game

select best one to fulfill)
- You have X days till defeat message still hardcoded to 7 days
- 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)

"tavern" entry in hero class and town formats.
- 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
- 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
- speed of creature-related animation no longer depends on framerate
- most of values from cranim.txt are now used correctly
- removed BMPPalette struct in favor of SDL_Color
- animation group "DEAD" that is used to display dead stacks, by default consists from last frame of "DEATH" group
Notes:
- animation speed may still need some adjustments
- range of config property "battle/animationSpeed" has been changed. This may result in extremely fast animation. To fix - change animation speed via options.
* 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.
* 0 is not convertible to std::function, nullptr should be used
* std::ref(rand) is not convertible to function<int()>, used lambdas (why we dont just pass "rand" ? )
* CFunctionList needs to be constructible from nullptr
* move constructor for CMapInfo (Visual cannot generate them :( )
* #ifdefed some stuff that is not needed anymore since cmath is updated with C99 stuff
* using std::make_unique instead of our vstd implementation
CSelector:
* introduced a class in place of typedef
* Having an overloaded && || operators over sth that is convertible to bool… Wasn't a good idea after all. Purged the operators, replaced with And/Or methods (chaining-style).
* constructor that is present only when constructing from class or function (SFINAE). std::function has an implicit converting constructor from T causing ambiguities (even if the overload would cause compile error in the body)
- 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
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.
* they will properly processed (new creatures will be added if dwelling, spells learned if mage guild, and so)
* transitive dependencies are handled (A makes B build, and B makes C and D)
- 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
- 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

* use spells configuration (all timed effects for battle spells)
* a few more cleanups
+register erm resource types (useful in future and less noise in log now)
- artifact iconIndex should work
- new file with hardcoded string constants: lib/StringConstants.h
Note: some minor bugs, will fix soon:
- slow to open hero window
- hero adventure map images serialization is broken\incorrect
- filesystem initialization works in conjuction with modHandler
- (config) split buildings.json in multiple files in "factions" directory
- (mods) merged filesystem.json and config/mod.json into mod.json
