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.
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 save compatibility checks targeting 1.4 saves have now been removed.
Saves from 1.5 can still be loaded in 1.6
Implemeted few TODO's in serialization that were postponed to avoid
breaking save compatibility in MP for 1.5.X releases.
Fixed missed case for loading black market object from 1.5 saves
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
- campaign header now contains text container and stores campaign texts
- map header now contains text container instead of inheriting it
- moved text container registration logic to a wraper class
- fixed registration of copied text containers (from copied map header)
