On Android calling `SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize` with dimensions having a different aspect ratio than the screen will cause letterboxing with blinking garbage data in that areas (instead of having black bars). This is annoying and makes the game really hard to play.
This change will make sure that on Android `SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize` will always be called with dimensions where the aspect ratio is the same as the screen to make sure there is no letterboxing.
The only problem with this is that during drawing the adventure map nothing will clear out the areas that would have been letterboxes, so there is an added explicit clear screen command for `totalRedraw()`.
The changes are only applied to Android builds in order not to affect PC builds - but some changes, especially clearing the screen could be easily added to the PC builds as well
* use smart pointers for almost all widget fields
* use SDL2 texture for cursor
* a lot af small tweaks and formatting
* removed CompImage class, it is actually useless as long as regular SDLImage support margins
* CGuiHandler: use smart pointers for [push|pop]Int
* Changed most gui classes to use shared pointers
* Store and use IImage as shared_ptr
* CSpellWindow redesign
* AdventureMapClasses cleanup
* CLabel: store background as smart pointer
* Store CObjectList items as smart pointers
* Removed destroy function of list item
* Store toggle buttons as smart pointers
* Use CComponent as smart pointer
* Attempt to fix artifact merchant drawing
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.
* margin option .json animation
* Use ranged attack animation for spell cast if there is no cast animation, display cast animation only on active casting.
Static variable might be not yet initialized by the time it's used inside CGuiHandler constructor.
This fix let us avoid crash that occur when built with Xcode 8.2.1
Following mode only work when client is started in spectator mode:
F5 - Pause / resume game by locking of pim
F6 - Toggle spectate-ignore-hero
F7 - Toggle spectate-skip-battle
F8 - Toggle spectate-skip-battle-result
F9 - Skip current battle
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.
