Tomes of X Spells and Spellbinder's Hat (and any other sources for such
bonuses from mods) will no longer provide spells that are banned on map.
Option is only active for random maps and for HotA h3m's. RoE-SoD .h3m's
work as before.
If needed, behavior can be changed in config
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.
- All adventure map spells have most of their parameters in json.
- Parameters of adventure map spells can now be defined separately per
each mastery level.
- It is now possible to add a new spell that will have effect similar to
H3 adventure map spell
