- Minor fixes
- string based paths -> boost::filesystem::path paths (I hope it's
final)
- New user data path on windows
- New moving dir method on windows.
bfs = boost::filesystem;
- Updateting filenames (std::string -> bfs::path) #1
- Added platform detection, and some specyfic boost::filesystem includes
to Global.h
- Updated CBasicLogConfigurator. Now class uses bfs::path pathes.
- VCMI will load mods from Mods directory recursively. Submods must be
placed into additional Mods directory, e.g.
<data dir>/Mods/<mod name>/Mods/<submod name>
- submods will be loaded only if their parent mod was enabled
- submods namespace for objects will be "<parent mod ID>.<submod ID>"
- TODO: Launcher is not aware of submods yet (seems to be working but
may behave incorrectly)
priority than mods. Fixes#1685 and #1733
- fixed possible crash on exit in dispose() function
- (vcmibuilder) fixes problem with partial mp3 -> ogg conversion
BIG NOTE TO LINUX USERS
All user data has been moved according to XDG specs:
- Game data (H3 files and mods) and saves: from ~/.vcmi to ~/.local/
- Temporary files, including logs: from ~/.vcmi to ~/.cache/vcmi
- Config files: from ~/.vcmi/config to ~/.config/vcmi
For compatibility VCMI will read game data from ~/.vcmi as well but this
is temporary behavior and will be removed
- reorganized internal filesystem structure - all files from one mod are
now grouped in same FS node
- modhandler will now calculate crc32 checksum for each mod
- modhandler now knows validation status of each mod
todo - use checksum to determine mods that have not changed since last
start and disable validation for them.
- launcher uses json parser from vcmi lib instead of one from Qt #1469
- fixed abilities overrides for some creatures #1476
- fixed hero portraits in seer huts #1402
- ttf fonts will render text in utf-8 mode. Not really useful at this point
- new settings entry, available in launcher: encoding. Unused for now.
- minizip library is now part of sources, located at lib/minizip
- cmakefiles will compile minizip as dynamic library (Note: only 2 files used by vcmi are included in minizip.so)
- zip files can be loaded similar to other archives via filesystem.json
- mods can use Content.zip instead of Content/ directory. Files in directory will replace files in archive.
- removed CResourceLoader class in favor of one that implements resource loader interface
- removed global pool of files, in favour of more dynamic approach
- renamed some files to match current situation
All these changes are needed mostly for future mod manager + .zip support
