* It is possible to set the battle ai that'll be used by neutrals by typing in VCMI console:
setBattleAI <AIName>
VCAI also respects that setting and uses given AI as its battle back-end.
- config folder with all json files is used via new FS API
- fixed campaigns loading. Replaced "detect h3m starts" heuristics with CCompessedStream::getNextBlock()
- - mostly remove usage of (de)activateSomething functions
- - CIntObject's can be safely deleted in active state or without removing from parent first
- - Added CWindowObject to use as base of all windows (will be required for such features as shadows)
Report any crashes or glitches - it should not cause any issues apart from more console output.
TODO:
- remove redundant (de)activate and show(All) calls
- decrease usage of blitAtLoc\printAtLoc methods
- switch all windows to new base
* Renamed color constants
* Renamed class AdventureMapButton to CAdventureMapButton
* Moved basic controls like CTextBox from GuiClasses to CIntObjectClasses
* Moved new creature window from GuiClasses to CCreatureWindow
* CHexFieldControl renamed to CClickableHex
* CCreatureAnimation.cpp/.h moved to BattleInterface/CCreatureAnimation.cpp/.h
* Removed unused project files
* Added VCMI_client filters file for VS 2010
* Gathered common parts of StdInc.h in Global.h
* Boost.Spirit has been included in PCH for ERM project
* StopWatch renamed to CStopWatch
* GuiBase.cpp split up in UIFramework/...
* fixed crash on sea battles (obstacles data got corrupted during conversion)
* fixed crash when StupidAI had a catapult
* minor fixes and refactorings (typename for bonus list under shared ptr)
Code reorganizations in bonus system, allowing defining bonusNode-like classes.
Fixed some issues with artifact handling (proper updating of GUI when moving, minor fixes).
Restoring battle AI for neutrals after loading game.
-- Reduced memory usage for images with margins
-- Implemented RLE compression
- Linux-related changes:
-- build system updated to include changed paths
-- new dependency: boost-program-options
-- configure option --disable-debug will produce optimized build
- Several gcc compile fixes
- Optimized CPU usage on town screens
- Removed several includes from headers
- Possible fix for #496
* THex for battle positions
* towards removal of battleGetStackByID
TODO:
investigate the necessity of putting implementation of BattleAction CGlobalAI::activeStack( const CStack * stack ) in CGeniusAI.cpp
- BitmapHandler can now load images from any format supported by SDL_Image
note: file can have any possible format but extension should be .bmp or .pcx
- fixed some warnings
* preliminary support for giving campaign bonuses (resources and spells, artifacts, skills for generated hero are given)
* differing the amount of resources given to AI and human players
* minor changes
Bonuses from artifacts are now inherited. Some work on artifacts set GUI. CArtifactsOfHero now operates on its own hero copy when picking artifact. Still more fixes are needed though.
