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.
Fix issue when town icon on adventure interface is not updated from village after vcmiarmenelos cheat used.
This didn't occur during normal gameplay since usually castleInt is active when you build something.
If quick combat calculation take a while it's possible to give hero movement command before battle is finished. This will lead to client freeze or crash. To avoid this we must lock adventure interface until battle calculation is finished.
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.
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.
Related movement code for client and AI is plumbed as well. Though at moment code still not finished because it's not teleport hero to the exit tile if he won battle.
This still need investigation, but likely most of external code shouldn't be aware of layers in order to work properly because only LAND and SAIL can be targeted and single tile can't have both of these layers.
- 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 switch in settings screen
- implemented "0 speed", animation-free. *may* also work for player-owned heroes
- removed no longer used creature window switch
- renamed CAdventureMapButton to more expectable CButton
- merged CButtonBase into CButton
- created more generic class for clickable elements
- created more generic class for selectable elements
- renamed CHighlightableButton to CToggleButton
- renamed CHighlightableButtonsGrous to CToggleGroup
- minimized differences between API of all these classes
- removed all but one contructors in buttons, with same parameters across all classes
This is import of ancient unfinished branch from svn. As of now window is largely finished but commander-related elements are still TODO.
Note that I also uploading graphical content - this is intended and necessary for final goal - to make VCMI functional without any additional graphical pack.
- 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
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
changeset:
- victory/defeat will be detected using triggered events
- vcmi will convert h3 conditions into set of triggered events
- 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
- AI would benefit from improvemets (handle all victory conditions,
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)
- moved terrain music files to terrains.json file
- player should act before AI in all games, not only campaigns
- recreate adventure map interface on each scenario (to make sure that
there is no garbage data from prev. game)
- added check to avoid such situations in future
- 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)
- 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.
- 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
- support for one more Russian localisation, fixes#1321
- fixed icon for level 1 town hall, #1294
- correct portraits for first heroes from mods, #1297 and probably #1298
And a lot of gcc compile fixes
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.
- 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
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
Fixed crash when no maps are present.
Fixed crash on opening the loading screen.
Fixed crash on starting the turn when Games/ subfolder is not present.
- 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
* 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.
* Updated MSVC project files
* Filesystem: My version of .SND archive does not have \0 after WAV extension. Fixed (though hardcoded 3-char extension length).
* New bonus types: BLOCK_MAGIC_ABOVE for blocking casting spells above given level and BLOCK_ALL_MAGIC for blocking all magic.
* Heavy rewrite of battle callbacks. Fixed some minor bugs. Code reusage between lib/client/server (removed proxy calls). Better access control and support for various perspectives.
* Fixed#1031
* Fixed Orb of Inhibition and Recanter's Cloak (they were incorrectly implemented). Fixed#97.
* Fleeing hero won't lose artifacts. Spellbook won't be captured. Fixed#980.
* Fixed crash when attacking stack dies before counterattack (ie. because of Fire Shield)
* Server does some basic checks if action requests during battle are valid
* Minor stuff.
- config folder with all json files is used via new FS API
- fixed campaigns loading. Replaced "detect h3m starts" heuristics with CCompessedStream::getNextBlock()
-- new files: client/AdventureMapClasses.*
-- implemented all missing details from infobox
- textinput can handle numbers as input
- fixed several bugs caused by CIntObject changes
- fixed#988
- - 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
