- VCMI can now be compiled in C++20 mode
- Replaced all references to C++17 with C++20
- Boost 1.74 is now set as minimal version (older version might work but
untested)
- Updated documentation to reflect required versions of compilers /
libraries
- Removed excessive fail-fast / continue-on-error from CI
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.
- Split massive `parseLimiter` method in smaller chunks
- Added alternative format for limiters with named parameters instead of
unclear `parameters` entry that often leads to bugs in mods. Old format
is still available.
- Added detailed validation for limiter format
- Converted vcmi json's to use new format
- Removed parameter-less `CREATURE_FACTION` and `SAME_FACTION` limiter.
They are unused in mods and have unclear use-case that can be replaced
by other limiters
- Expanded documentation on limiter types
All mods that were supported before should still be supported
