Currently closing game while network thread is waiting for something is
very bug-prone, since network thread may resume during shutdown and
access partially destroyed client state.
Now if exit has been requested, the very first step would be semi-
graceful shutdown of network thread (via exception throwing). This may
in theory skip some cleanup in non-RAII code, but since game is shutting
down this does not matters much.
This logic applies to:
- shutting down while network thread is waiting for dialogs
- shuttind down while network thread waiting for animations in combat
- the moved CMakeLists.txt is turned into a macro (adds whitespace difference)
- now uses absolute paths to the lib and include dirs
- refactors iOS install section to use "early continue" in the foreach loop
* CI: use single build action
* CMake: use imported targets
* CI: do not build boost for linux
* CMake: add FORCE_BUNDLED_MINIZIP option
* linux: use external minizip and fuzzylite
* CMake: add presets
* .gitignore: ignore cmake build dirs
* github: use cmake presets
* Made most Handlers derived from CHandlerBase and moved service API there.
* Declared existing Entity APIs.
* Added basic script context caching
* Started Lua script module
* Started Lua spell effect API
* Started script state persistence
* Started battle info callback binding
* CommitPackage removed
* Extracted spells::Caster to own header; Expanded Spell API.
* implemented !!MC:S, !!FU:E, !!FU:P, !!MA, !!VR:H, !!VR:C
* !!BU:C, !!BU:E, !!BU:G, !!BU:M implemented
* Allow use of "MC:S@varName@" to declare normal variable (technically v-variable with string key)
* Re-enabled VERM macros.
* !?GM0 added
* !?TM implemented
* Added !!MF:N
* Started !?OB, !!BM, !!HE, !!OW, !!UN
* Added basic support of w-variables
* Added support for ERM indirect variables
* Made !?FU regular trigger
* !!re (ERA loop receiver) implemented
* Fixed ERM receivers with zero args.
* Node graph initialization optimized.
* Fixed "Unathorized obstacle access".
* Pathfinding tracing disabled with ifdef.
* Misc bonus calculation optimizations.
* Removed timestamp from log lines. Date formatting eats too much CPU.
* Paths for all heroes in Client are now cached
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.
