campaign:
- new file MapFormatJson that implements small subset of Json map
format, as described on wiki
- vcmi will read overrides from file config/mapOverrides.json (currently
empty)
- Json writer for logical expressions
TODO: write data for map overrides
- buiding/structure lists must use object format. This may break some
outdated mods.
- generic support for logical expressions that consist from and/or/not
operators.
- string ID's for buidings are now actually used.
- 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.
compiled first.
- changed format of modSettings.json, VCMI should properly update file
on the first run.
- implemented property "defaultTavern" that acts as default value for
"tavern" entry in hero class and town formats.
- split JsonNode.cpp into JsonNode and JsonDetail files
- validation should be notably faster (at least 10% faster loading)
- support for "format" field, allows checking existance of files.
- minor fixes in schemas
- msk/msg files are now optional
- 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.
- Re-organized CMapGenerator
- Created CZone and CTemplate objects in the heap and used pointers
- Added stub classes CZoneGraphGenerator and CZonePlacer (include warnings of unused variables, please ignore them)
- Fixed CRandomGenerator bug that always the same number was produced
- Better structure of Visual Studio project files with using filters
- Updated project files (VS, CMake)
- Excluded compiler warning mismatched-tags (false positive)
- Fixed a bug when compiling with unit tests enabled
- 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
- WoG should be optional, all remapped files are listed in WoG/config/wogFileOverrides.json
- fixed several cases of incorrect positioning of creatures in battles
- some missing sounds for battle effects
- negative luck support, disabled by default
- a bit hackish detection of WoG presence, VCMI should work on SoD-only installs
- loading of all objects (including H3 objects) will be directed by mod handlers
- common base for all handlers accessible from mod system (IHanderBase)
- json format changes: use struct with string ID's instead of vector
- fixed some gcc/clang errors and warnings
- fixed several cases of memory leaks and invalid memory access (mostly related to usage of bonus system and/or identifiers resolution)
Note that right now loading is much slower than before due to excessive json validation (or not fast enough validator)
1) Names of compile units need to be unique, renamed the new CLogget.cpp to CNewLogger.cpp. (at least till the old CLogger is gone)
2) Fixes for project files (a few includes were marked as compile items).
* introduced new handler BonusTypeHandler
* config\bonusnames.json converted to common format and splitted info main and localizable parts
* hanlders initialization refactored
- artifact iconIndex should work
- new file with hardcoded string constants: lib/StringConstants.h
Note: some minor bugs, will fix soon:
- slow to open hero window
- hero adventure map images serialization is broken\incorrect
- config folder with all json files is used via new FS API
- fixed campaigns loading. Replaced "detect h3m starts" heuristics with CCompessedStream::getNextBlock()
- completely replaced CLodHandler, removed bitmaph and spriteh
- replaced CLodStream in favour of CCompressedStream (2 new files)
- renamed CResourceLoaderFactory and ResourceIndetifier to shorter names
NOTES:
- campaign loading is currently broken. Will fix.
- I am going to remove several unused files in several days (e.g. LodHandler)
- one more new file
- removed duplicating code
- filesystem parser is now recursive
- decompression should be possible if decompressed size is unknown
- autotools and cmake update
