All assets generation (large spellbook, terrain animations, etc) are now
done in memory and used as it, without saving to disk.
This should slightly improve load times since there is no encode png /
decode png, and should help with avoiding strange bug when vcmi fails to
load recently saved assets.
If needed, such assets can be force-dumped on disk using already
existing console command
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
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
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
- Constructor of Identifier from integer is now explicit
- Lobby hero/town selection now uses Identifiers instead of int's
- Removed serialization workaround for hero portraits
- Added dummy objects for custom heroes portraits for ID resolver to use
- HeroInstance now stores portrait ID only in case of custom portrait
- Fixed loading of campaign heroes portraits on RoE maps
- Removed CPlayerInterface::pim since this lock does not actually
protects LOCPLINT but rather entire game UI state
- added more logical CGuiHandler::interfaceLock
- interface lock is now non-recursive and is locked only once by initial
caller that want to access GUI
- PlayerEndsTurn pack is now sent when player ends turn
- YourTurn pack has been renamed to PlayerStartsTurn for consistency
- PlayerStartsTurn will no longer replace list of acting players
- PlayerEndsGame and PlayerEndsTurn will remove player from acting list
- IdentifierStorage is now a separate handler in VLC
- Renamed ModHandler::Incompatibility exception to ModIncompatibility
- Extracted ModScope namespace from ModHandler
- Extracted ModUtilities namespace from ModHandler
- Split CModHandler.cpp on per-class basis
- Replaced some direct members with unique_ptr to reduce header includes
- Removed (most of) boost filesystem namespace usings
- Replaced boost::filesystem::fstream with std::fstream and different
constructor that should be available on any plaftorm
- added compatibility method to Canvas to allow SDL_Surface access
- added drawBorder method to Canvas to replace CSDL_Ext method
- added drawColor method to Canvas to replace CSDL_Ext method
- minor changes to Tavern and Trade windows to adapt to new API
