Now VCMI will use either preferred language or install language to load
maps and campaigns that are part of "core" mod, or, in other words -
placed in Maps directory of H3 data (like most of manually downloaded
maps and campaigns are)
If game data is in English, then game can safely use encoding of player-
selected language (such as Chinese) to load maps. After all, both GBK
and all Win-125X encoding are superset of ASCII, so English map will
always load up correctly.
Maps that are part of a mod still use mod language as before - it is up
to mod maker to correctly set up mod language.
Removed most of hardcoded checks for fort level or for presence of fort/
citadel/castle buildings.
It is now possible to define which parts of town fortifications are
provided by town buildings
Configuration for H3-like fortifications is provided in
buildingsLibrary.json and will be used automatically by mods as long as
mods have buidings named "fort", "citadel" and "castle".
Alternatively, mods can separately define:
- hitpoints of walls (shared value for all sections)
- hitpoints of central, upper and lower towers (separate values)
- presence of moat
- shooters for each tower (separate values)
All text processing code is now located in lib/texts.
No changes other than code being moved around and adjustment of includes
Moved without changes:
Languages.h -> texts/Languages.h
MetaString.* -> texts/MetaString.*
TextOperations.* -> texts/TextOperations.*
Split into parts:
CGeneralTextHandler.* -> texts/CGeneralTextHandler.*
-> texts/CLegacyConfigParser.*
-> texts/TextLocalizationContainer.*
-> texts/TextIdentifier.h
- Removed 'version' field from serialize() method
- Handler classes - Binary(De)Serializer now have 'version' field
- Serialization versioning now uses named enum
Save compatibility with 1.4.X saves should be intact
