New features for players:
* Loading for multiplayer. Any save could be used for multiplayer.
* Restart for multiplayer. All clients will restart together.
* Loading from single save.
* Hotseat mixed with network game. Multiple players per client.
* Now connection to server could be cancelled.
* Return to menu on disconnections instead of crashes.
* Restoring of last selected map, save or campaign on next run.
TLDR on important changes in engine code:
* UI: work with server separated from UI
* UI: all explitic blitting replaced with IntObject's
* UI: all new code use smart pointers instead of DISPOSE
* Gameplay always start through lobby controlled by server.
* Threads receiving netpacks now shared for lobby and gameplay.
* Campaigns: heroes for crossover now serialized as JsonNode.
- updated code to use new interface
- removed old DefObjHandler (todo - rename file)
Summary:
- most code but loading is now in place
- type names may deserve improvements (some of them are too similar)
- still barely compiles and not tested
- removed no longer used fields from Graphics + portraits.json
- work on pregame:
- - new code for map options window icons + popups
- - fixed bugs related to new towns
- - less hardcoded magic numbers
- moved almost all loading to TownHandler
- CBuildings and CStructures are now part of CTown
- merged hall.json into buildings.json
Should not cause any crashes or glitches
Please don't touch CGI->state directly in client code - use callbacks instead. I'd like to make some mechanics-critical handlers in CGI const - a lot of work, certain changes have been done here.
