- Minor fixes
- string based paths -> boost::filesystem::path paths (I hope it's
final)
- New user data path on windows
- New moving dir method on windows.
- Implemented "show intro" toggle in settings
- Install/Update/Enable buttons are now visible even when mod info is hidden
- Fixed behaviour of show mod info switch, added more obvious button to enable it
- Removed no longer used "Enable mods on install" switch
- Added buttons to open data, user data and temporary directories
- fixes, probably partially #1577
- enabled code for reading map object templates from json, still not
used
- disabled PCH for launcher due to speed issues.
- screenshots, repository-only field, will be used by launcher to d/l
screeenshots
- screenshots will be viewed as thumbnails with switch to full view on
click
- changelog that is now visible in launcher
- somewhat better handling of submods by launcher
- AUTHORS file is now in UTF-8
- tags for desktop files
- fixed some typos
- better reaction on --help and --version commands
- vcmibuilder should work with both avconf and ffmpeg
- VCMI will load mods from Mods directory recursively. Submods must be
placed into additional Mods directory, e.g.
<data dir>/Mods/<mod name>/Mods/<submod name>
- submods will be loaded only if their parent mod was enabled
- submods namespace for objects will be "<parent mod ID>.<submod ID>"
- TODO: Launcher is not aware of submods yet (seems to be working but
may behave incorrectly)
BIG NOTE TO LINUX USERS
All user data has been moved according to XDG specs:
- Game data (H3 files and mods) and saves: from ~/.vcmi to ~/.local/
- Temporary files, including logs: from ~/.vcmi to ~/.cache/vcmi
- Config files: from ~/.vcmi/config to ~/.config/vcmi
For compatibility VCMI will read game data from ~/.vcmi as well but this
is temporary behavior and will be removed
- fixed incorrect error reporting in launcher
- set WoG version to "0.0.0" so full version will be installed from repo
in future
- updated debian required packages list
- launcher will be enabled by default
- reorganized internal filesystem structure - all files from one mod are
now grouped in same FS node
- modhandler will now calculate crc32 checksum for each mod
- modhandler now knows validation status of each mod
todo - use checksum to determine mods that have not changed since last
start and disable validation for them.
compiled first.
- changed format of modSettings.json, VCMI should properly update file
on the first run.
- implemented property "defaultTavern" that acts as default value for
"tavern" entry in hero class and town formats.
- boost-locale library is now required (boost 1.48 or higher)
- Unicode namespace that contains UTF-8 handling
- All non-ASCII strings from H3 data will be converted to UTF-8 during loading
- All JSON files MUST use UTF-8.
- H3 data encoding can be selected via launcher or directly in config file
- launcher uses json parser from vcmi lib instead of one from Qt #1469
- fixed abilities overrides for some creatures #1476
- fixed hero portraits in seer huts #1402
- ttf fonts will render text in utf-8 mode. Not really useful at this point
- new settings entry, available in launcher: encoding. Unused for now.
- renamed files that should be preprocessed with moc: they will have _moc suffix (cpp files were also renamed for consistency)
- fixed disabling of mods that have dependent on them mods
- repositories will be reloaded if changed
- may have fixed non-starting vcmi client on Win
