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'
On Android calling `SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize` with dimensions having a different aspect ratio than the screen will cause letterboxing with blinking garbage data in that areas (instead of having black bars). This is annoying and makes the game really hard to play.
This change will make sure that on Android `SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize` will always be called with dimensions where the aspect ratio is the same as the screen to make sure there is no letterboxing.
The only problem with this is that during drawing the adventure map nothing will clear out the areas that would have been letterboxes, so there is an added explicit clear screen command for `totalRedraw()`.
The changes are only applied to Android builds in order not to affect PC builds - but some changes, especially clearing the screen could be easily added to the PC builds as well
Warnings fixes
* Suppress `missing-braces` for Clang
* Fixed many C4275 warnings
* Fixed almost all Clang/GCC warnings
* Silence most frequent MSVC warning.
* Fixed some pessimizing-move warnings
* Fixed some unused capture warnings
* use smart pointers for almost all widget fields
* use SDL2 texture for cursor
* a lot af small tweaks and formatting
* removed CompImage class, it is actually useless as long as regular SDLImage support margins
* CGuiHandler: use smart pointers for [push|pop]Int
We need to make sure it's not stay active during gameplay.
Proper fix would require actually removing menu interface from GH, but then GH needs refactoring too.
* Changed most gui classes to use shared pointers
* Store and use IImage as shared_ptr
* CSpellWindow redesign
* AdventureMapClasses cleanup
* CLabel: store background as smart pointer
* Store CObjectList items as smart pointers
* Removed destroy function of list item
* Store toggle buttons as smart pointers
* Use CComponent as smart pointer
* Attempt to fix artifact merchant drawing
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.
Addresses several related problems:
* Propagation / unpropagation of duplicate bonuses is inconsistent, causing bugs
* Duplicate bonuses never stack, which is not always intended behaviour (e.g. multiple copies of resource generating artifacts)
* Different bonuses always stack, which is not always intended behaviour (e.g. Angel + Archangel morale bonuses)
This is addressed as follows:
* Duplicate bonuses are never eliminated during propagation/inheritance.
* Unpropagation eliminates only a single copy of duplicated bonus
* Bonus receives a new field stacking that determines stacking behaviour:
* * empty string = no stacking with duplicates (default)
* * "ALWAYS" = stacks with duplicates & everything else
* * some other value = no stacking with bonuses with same stacking value
Also Morale/Luck window now hides non-stacking bonuses.
* Indirect spell effects loading
* Json serializer improvements
* spell->canBeCastAt do not allow useless cast for any spell
* Added proxy caster class for spell-created obstacles
* Handle damage from spell-created obstacles inside mechanics
* Experimental GameState integration/regression tests
* Ignore mod settings and load only "vcmi" mod when running tests
* fixed https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2765 (with tests)
* Huge improvements of BattleAI regarding spell casts
* AI can cast almost any combat spell except TELEPORT, SACRIFICE and obstacle placement spells.
* Possible fix for https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=1811
* CStack factored out to several classes
* [Battle] Allowed RETURN_AFTER_STRIKE effect on server side to be optional
* [Battle] Allowed BattleAction have multiple destinations
* [Spells] Converted limit|immunity to target condition
* [Spells] Use partial configuration reload for backward compatibility handling
* [Tests] Started tests for CUnitState
* Partial fixes of fire shield effect
* [Battle] Do HP calculations in 64 bits
* [BattleAI] Use threading for spell cast evaluation
* [BattleAI] Made AI be able to evaluate modified turn order (on hypothetical battle state)
* Implemented https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2811
* plug rare freeze when hypnotized unit shots vertically
* Correctly apply ONLY_MELEE_FIGHT / ONLY_DISTANCE_FIGHT for unit damage, attack & defense
* [BattleAI] Try to not waste a cast if battle is actually won already
* Extended JsonSerializeFormat API
* fixed https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2847
* Any unit effect can be now chained (not only damage like Chain Lightning)
** only damage effect for now actually uses "chainFactor"
* Possible quick fix for https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2860
- Change default build output directory name from "build" to "bin"
- Implement new function vcmi_get_cmake_debug_info
- Link client with SDL2main on Windows and disable debug console
- Remove all old MinGW-specific options since they outdated and MXE work fine
- Set AUTOGEN_TARGETS_FOLDER for better Xcode and Visual Studio projects
- Remove useless vcmitestFiles custom target for less garbage in project files
- Most of outdated CMakeLists code removed.
- All Mac-specific code is removed include Sparkle support and vcmibuilder app.
- DMG buidling reimplemented using macdeployqt command.
* All command line options now case insensetive.
* SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUS unused in SDL2 so it's removed.
* Added current year into the --help output for client and server.
* Moved DO_NOT_START_SERVER into session settings.
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.
