New features for players:
* Loading for multiplayer. Any save could be used for multiplayer.
* Restart for multiplayer. All clients will restart together.
* Loading from single save.
* Hotseat mixed with network game. Multiple players per client.
* Now connection to server could be cancelled.
* Return to menu on disconnections instead of crashes.
* Restoring of last selected map, save or campaign on next run.
TLDR on important changes in engine code:
* UI: work with server separated from UI
* UI: all explitic blitting replaced with IntObject's
* UI: all new code use smart pointers instead of DISPOSE
* Gameplay always start through lobby controlled by server.
* Threads receiving netpacks now shared for lobby and gameplay.
* Campaigns: heroes for crossover now serialized as JsonNode.
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.
* 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)
