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.
* Avoid server crash on dummy connect / disconnect.
* Avoid server crash when host left from PreGame.
* Server print it's state with name when it's waiting for connection or in pregame.
* Server will use random port if specified port is busy.
Before: built-in spells appear on first move of the creature
After: all built-in spells appear before the first move but after tactics
Example: Air Shield for experienced skeletons
The cause of the assertion failure at BattleStackAttacked::applyGs "at"
was shooting and casting some spell in handleAttackBeforeCasting() and
eventually killing the whole stack. Fix: filter dead stacks in the end of
handleAttackBeforeCasting().
All suitable codes can now be used with "ai", "all" color or with object ID:
vcminahar all - will apply cheat to all heroes of all players
vcminahar ai - will apply cheat to all heroes of AI players
vcminahar blue - will apply it to all heroes of blue player
vcminahar 553 - will apply cheat to hero with instance id of 553 if it's exist
Cheats without options work as before.
