Goal is to minimize amount of copy-pasted parts of town building
configuration and to reduce chance of modders accidentally breaking it.
For example, Grail in any town produces 5k gold and requires artifact to
be built. No need to copy-paste this in any town. And if modder wants to
more unique Grail, he provide custom parameters that will override
default properties.
As a bonus, since all building ID's are now in config, modders can use
it for reference instead of searching for examples
Changes:
- All H3 buildings now have entry in buildingsLibrary.json.
- Moved all common parameters of town buildings to buildingsLibrary.json
- Added all new building ID's to buildingsLibrary.json - level 8
dwelling, additional upgrades of dwellings & hordes
- Removed hardcoded mapping of strings to building ID's from code.
Should not break any existing mods, or cause them to fail validation
The following entities can now be banned in a random map template
definition:
- Hero
- Artifact
- Spell
- Secondary skill
The ban follows the same rules as banning via the map settings in the
map editor.
It is also now possible to bypass dependencies and access identifiers
from mods that are not dependencies when defining:
- Banned entities in random map templates
- the chance of a hero class appearing in a tavern of a specific faction
- the chance of a spell appearing in a mage guild of a specific faction
- the chance of a hero class receiving a secondary skill
For this to work, the identifier must be specified in full, e.g.
`modName:objectName`. If the specified mod is not active, the game will
silently ignore this entry.
This behaviour is not affected by mod load order. It is possible to use
this format to access a mod that has not yet been loaded.
- Node type is now set on construction and never changes
- Added army propagator that also checks for TOWN and HERO
- Renamed existing propagators to be in sync with enumeration
Added flag `manualHeroVisit` flag to town building. If this flag is set,
then building will only be activated on click and will not give its
effect on hero recrutiment, hero visit, or new day.
This allows implementing changes to Mana Vortex from HotA
Removed most of hardcoded checks for fort level or for presence of fort/
citadel/castle buildings.
It is now possible to define which parts of town fortifications are
provided by town buildings
Configuration for H3-like fortifications is provided in
buildingsLibrary.json and will be used automatically by mods as long as
mods have buidings named "fort", "citadel" and "castle".
Alternatively, mods can separately define:
- hitpoints of walls (shared value for all sections)
- hitpoints of central, upper and lower towers (separate values)
- presence of moat
- shooters for each tower (separate values)
