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.
* 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;
* 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.
Option is useful for server profiling also let me test MP over network and much more.
Also there is issues with boost::interprocess on some systems under Windows and this is the way to bypass them.
This basically starts respecting the displayIndex setting. When
changing the fullscreen setting in-game, we read the display index
from the already existing window.
std::atexit generally does not play nice with static objects in other
translation units/libraries - there are no guarantees about the order
of destruction of static objects and atexit functions coming from
different translation units/libraries. Removing calls to atexit fixes
crashes when quitting the game. The crash happened during the dispose
function somewhere inside boost's locale library that is used
indirectly by the logger - some locale function tried to lock a static
mutex that was already destroyed.
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.
gosolo: make AI to take over every human player in game. Second command would give control back to CPlayerInterface.
controlai: give control of one or all AI players to CPlayerInterface. Command "controlai orange" turn orange to human player while "controlai" without color specified make all AIs human controlled players.
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.
New widget specifically for volume settings.
Replace previous implementation using 10 toggle buttons.
Enable indicator animation
Fix indicator ghosting when drag and releasing
Add scroll capability to volume
Volume now can be adjusted from 0 - 99 with the mouse or the scroll wheel
bfs = boost::filesystem;
- Updateting filenames (std::string -> bfs::path) #1
- Added platform detection, and some specyfic boost::filesystem includes
to Global.h
- Updated CBasicLogConfigurator. Now class uses bfs::path pathes.
- 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
- removed hoverText field
- split getHoverText() method into 3:
- - getObjectName() for generic name
- - getHoverText(Player) for player-specific text
- - getHoverText(Hero) for hero-specific strings
* enable video again
* set default bpp to 32 - SDL2 dont like 24 bit resolution
* now almost everything looks as expected (some issues are present though)
- This file is now split into multiple smaller files in mapObjects
directory
- CObjectHandler itself now contains only core classes (Handler itself,
CGObject and interfaces)
- Cleaned up excessive #include's through whole project
- 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
priority than mods. Fixes#1685 and #1733
- fixed possible crash on exit in dispose() function
- (vcmibuilder) fixes problem with partial mp3 -> ogg conversion
1) spell handler refactored to support modding in general way
2) imunnity icons moved to WoG as they depends on wog`s graphics
3) introduced new class template for handlers (todo: use this in other handlers)
4) save format changed
5) introduced "absolute immunity" - unaffected by "the Orb" etc. (todo: use it in config)
6) new format documented on wiki, added json schema.
* more split of registertypes - fixes 32 mingw build
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
- replaced CDefObjInfo with ObjectTemplate class
- ObjectTempate is a direct member of objects instead of pointer with
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
- removed need of modhandler::reload
- cleanup of some old code
- Added toString() method to EVictoryLossCheckResult enum class to improve debugging
- Removed mostly unused CFunctionList2
- Added missing header files for vcmiclient project to CMakeLists
- Tweaked SDL suggests bpp message a bit
- Added showInfoDialogAndWait (info dialog and waits, used from client thread) and showOkDialog (callback to ok click, used from GUI thread) to player interface
- Added showOkDialog method to CInfoWindow (unused for now, but may be used later)
- renamed some methods/classes with better names + some consistency (no more print, setTxt and setText that do exactly same thing)
- TextBox now contains label widget instead of inheriting it
- smooth scrolling support (up/down buttons still scroll one line)
- 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
* 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.
- 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
- 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
- removed assert in Fonts.cpp (can be triggered a lot by old pregame\battles code)
- fixed battle console text positioning
- fixed some new compiler warnings
- 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
* 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.

-- Adventure map music will update with hero movement
-- implemented battle intro sounds
-- battle music tracks will be selected randomly each time
- 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.
