* Heroes will try to use SectorMap if there are no accessible tiles
* Remove some loopholes and pitfalls when all the ways are blocked
* Fixed AI not conquering some (reserved) objects
Still missing: SectorMap does not use Subterranean Gates :(
- Improvements for army exchange
* Fixed exchange condition
* Bidirectional exchange is possible
- if special victory condition is present AND there is only one player
normal victory condition will be disabled
- added new triggered condition, constant value
- if target of CONTROL/DESTROY condition is removed from map, triggered
condition will be replaced with constant
- fixed randomization of armies with random stacks
- Heroes now will use real path cost and their movement, which has numerous advantages:
* Actual movement cost is taken into consideration
* Groups of heroes will keep order
* Fastest heroes will be used for exploration first
- Fixed non-fuzzy performance of some functions. Now AI really considers all options and uses multiple heroes, who don't spend their time wandering a lot.
- 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
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
- Moved placing campaign heroes before random object generation -> same behaviour as in OH3
- Refactored pickHero into pickNextHeroType (hero generation sequence) and pickUnusedHeroTypeRandomly
- Added a SIGSEV violation handler to vcmiserver executable for logging stacktrace (for convenience only)
- Fixed Fuzzy.cpp and VCAI.h compilation on Clang
- Added a handleException function in addition to our macros (no use of macros, enables debugging support, does not re-throw, catches ...-case too)
- buiding/structure lists must use object format. This may break some
outdated mods.
- generic support for logical expressions that consist from and/or/not
operators.
- string ID's for buidings are now actually used.
