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.
It is now possible to give artifacts per-instance bonuses, if needed.
Unlike shared bonuses, per-instance bonuses stack if multiple instances
of same artifacts are equipped on hero.
This to implement resource-producing artifacts in line with H3 -
equipping multiple such artifacts on a single hero will give bonus from
each instance of such artifact.
Also, both existing bonuses and new instanceBonuses fields now use json
object instead of json lists. This allows easier modification of
individual bonuses of artifacts and potentially - custom icons /
descriptions for artifact bonuses.
- CClient now inherits directly from CPrivilegedInfoCallback, like
IGameCallback did before. However CClient no longer needs dummy
implementation of IGameEventCallback
- CGObjectInstance hierarchy now uses CPrivilegedInfoCallback for
callback. Actual events can only be emitted in calls that receive
IGameEventCallback pointer, e.g. heroVisit
- CGameHandler now inherits directly from both CPrivilegedInfoCallback
and IGameEventCallback as it did before via IGameCallback
- files now generally contain only 1 class (except for tightly coupled
classes)
- files are now located in lib/entities/artifact directory
- removed excessive includes
No changes to functionality
- `disposedHeroes` is now in map header, for use in map selection
- heroes that are marked as unavailable for player will now be hidden
from starting hero selection
Final goal (of multiple PR's) is to remove all remaining pointers from
serializeable game state, and replace them with either identifiers or
with shared/unique pointers.
CGTownInstance::town and CGHeroInstance::type members have been removed.
Now this data is computed dynamically using subID member.
VLC entity of a town can now be accessed via following methods:
- getFactionID() returns ID of a faction
- getFaction() returns pointer to a faction
- getTown() returns pointer to a town
VLC entity of a hero can now be accessed via following methods:
- getHeroTypeID() returns ID of a hero
- getHeroClassID() returns ID of a hero class
- getHeroType() returns pointer to a hero
- getHeroClass() returns pointer to a hero class
