- Replaced CModInfo class with constant ModDescription class
- Simplified mod loading logic
- Extracted some functionality from ModHandler into separate classes for
future reuse by Launcher
Now VCMI will use either preferred language or install language to load
maps and campaigns that are part of "core" mod, or, in other words -
placed in Maps directory of H3 data (like most of manually downloaded
maps and campaigns are)
If game data is in English, then game can safely use encoding of player-
selected language (such as Chinese) to load maps. After all, both GBK
and all Win-125X encoding are superset of ASCII, so English map will
always load up correctly.
Maps that are part of a mod still use mod language as before - it is up
to mod maker to correctly set up mod language.
Final goal (of multiple PR's) is to remove all remaining pointers from
serializeable game state, and replace them with either identifiers or
with shared/unique pointers.
CGTownInstance::town and CGHeroInstance::type members have been removed.
Now this data is computed dynamically using subID member.
VLC entity of a town can now be accessed via following methods:
- getFactionID() returns ID of a faction
- getFaction() returns pointer to a faction
- getTown() returns pointer to a town
VLC entity of a hero can now be accessed via following methods:
- getHeroTypeID() returns ID of a hero
- getHeroClassID() returns ID of a hero class
- getHeroType() returns pointer to a hero
- getHeroClass() returns pointer to a hero class
All save compatibility checks targeting 1.4 saves have now been removed.
Saves from 1.5 can still be loaded in 1.6
Implemeted few TODO's in serialization that were postponed to avoid
breaking save compatibility in MP for 1.5.X releases.
Fixed missed case for loading black market object from 1.5 saves
marketModes are now generated in runtime and are not a member of
IMarket. Was not a bad change, but towns load buildings before town type
is randomized, leading to case where market modes are not actually known
when building is added to town (like random towns with market built)
Since altar requires CArtifactSet for work, IMarket will now always
contain it, but it will only be accessible if market supports altar
mode.
replace x >= 0 && x < size by (unsigned)x < size
By converting signed coordinate to unsigned number, negative values became
very large positive ones, larger than every positive signed number and
therefore also bigger than the map size. As a result check against size
also implicitly checks if coordinate is negative.
Compiler cannot do this transformation automatically because it doesn't
know that map dimensions are always positive.
The change shrinks isInTheMap from 19 instructions to 11 on x86.
All text processing code is now located in lib/texts.
No changes other than code being moved around and adjustment of includes
Moved without changes:
Languages.h -> texts/Languages.h
MetaString.* -> texts/MetaString.*
TextOperations.* -> texts/TextOperations.*
Split into parts:
CGeneralTextHandler.* -> texts/CGeneralTextHandler.*
-> texts/CLegacyConfigParser.*
-> texts/TextLocalizationContainer.*
-> texts/TextIdentifier.h
