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.
* fixed a very nasty race condition, eliminating possible deadlock at the start of battle when human hero has tactics
* fixed#422
- gcc set to c++0x mode
- most of gcc warnings fixed
- replaced boost::assign with initialization lists (if available in compiler)
- new cheat code: vcmiarmenelos - build everything
- updated linux readme
- minor fixes, applied patch for #98
* fixed crash when creature is casting Hypnosis (ie. exped Vampire Lords)
* fixed crash when creature is casting Cure before attack (ie. exped Unicorns)
* fixed crash when creature is summoning elemental (TODO fix it)
* fixed crash when doing a bonus system operation with a hero liberated from prison (ie. entering town or battle)
* fixed deadlock when StupidAI tried to assault the turrets
* fixed never ending siege when StupidAI has to use catapult (no more deadlocks on AI-AI siege)
* fixed deadlock when a hero received a level during another player's turn (ie. when he successfully defended)
* AI can win the game by defeating all enemies if there is a specific victory condition applying only to human players
* added options to help testing adventure map AI (--onlyAI, --autoSkip and --oneGoodAI).
* many minor changes
* Renamed color constants

* Boost.Spirit has been included in PCH for ERM project
* StopWatch renamed to CStopWatch
* GuiBase.cpp split up in UIFramework/...
-- 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.
Implemented and tested are
victory:
Defeat hero
Capture town
Defeat monster
Flag dwellings
Flag mines
Lose:
Loss hero
Time expire
**
Some others may work but not has been tested yet.
I've added a new page in VCMI Status spreadsheet with status of various victory/loss conditions.
Restructured thread structure: no new thread on yourturn, instead of that introduced update() method called by thread dispatching GUI events.
Further changes are planned.
Fixed a file handle leak.
Bumped revision to 0.74b (linux).
Reworked the build system to remove uneeded dependencies (linux).
Removed use of PATHSEPARATOR since Windows can use / too.
* recalculating paths only after finished movement / switching selection
* moving hero uses "new" pathfinder
* moving hero by arrow keys / numpad
* VCMI window should start centered
* fixed pairing Subterranean Gates
* fixed issues with creatures sounds after loading
* several minor changes and improvements
* r-click popups on selected town/hero.bonus and teams in pregame
* disabled music due to bugs in SDL_mixer and smpeg (probably it was the source of reported random crashes / hangups)
* minor fixes
* version set to 0.72
* integrated save format version to the CLoadFile
* fixed problems on entering non-number as resolution number
* minor improvements
* Mines / Resource Silos won't give income in the first turn
* Double click on hero slot during stack splitting won't crash
* Fixed problems with updating buttons / minimap
