- Hero can now can have several separate specialty nodes
- Fixed typo (speciality->specialty)
- Fixed several crashes related to commanders
- Improvements to specialty handling, bugfixes and temporary solutions for upcoming hero specialties in mods
* use spells configuration (all timed effects for battle spells)
* a few more cleanups
+register erm resource types (useful in future and less noise in log now)
- 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
- filesystem initialization works in conjuction with modHandler
- (config) split buildings.json in multiple files in "factions" directory
- (mods) merged filesystem.json and config/mod.json into mod.json
- - hero army and creature upgrade names are resolved using new system
- - faction names and creatures in towns are resolved using new system
- (linux) replaced build_data.sh with hopefully better vcmibuilder script
- minor fixes
- Fixed crash when there are no heroes available to recruit in the map. TODO: make AI handle it
- Fixed crash when Chain Lightning has not enough targets
- Fixed crash at Hill Fort (?)
- AI will buy Spellbook for its heroes
- AI will try to use Cartographer and Observatory when exploring
- AI will not visit Prison when heroes are at max
- Experiment: AI will try to capture Mines and Dwellings when there are no enemies around (part of CONQUER goal)
* BattleAI will restore callback to its previous state, fixes freeze after battle #1104
* BattleAI won't lose turn when unable to correctly evaluate a spell
* VCAI will correctly recognize hero standing on town entrance
* War machines of defender will have correctly set side
* Faction 9 as neutral causes crashes, changing to -1 as used elsewhere in the code
* battle AIs receive ptr to CBattleCallback (not sure why it was CPlayerBattleCallback, likely mistake)
* reworked some battle callback methods to be more generic and able to handle some hypothetic scenarios
* for testing purposes in duel mode the first AI will be taken fro mconfig and the second will remain stupid ai
* minor changes
- town screen is mostly implemented, has some minor issues
- factions are now separate from towns, neutrals have faction with id=9
- more constants to GameConstants: town-specific buildings, strings for terrains and resources
- replaced most access to builtBuildings with isBuilt() method
- replaced id's with enums for town subtype and buildings id's
- moved almost all loading to TownHandler
- CBuildings and CStructures are now part of CTown
- merged hall.json into buildings.json
Should not cause any crashes or glitches
* Fixed crashes in battles after loading game
* Fixed crash in battle AI, when stack is blocked and stands next to an enemy
* Fixes problem when server's moveStack is called with dest==position
* Above should cover #1053.
* Updated MSVC project files
* Filesystem: My version of .SND archive does not have \0 after WAV extension. Fixed (though hardcoded 3-char extension length).
* New bonus types: BLOCK_MAGIC_ABOVE for blocking casting spells above given level and BLOCK_ALL_MAGIC for blocking all magic.
* Heavy rewrite of battle callbacks. Fixed some minor bugs. Code reusage between lib/client/server (removed proxy calls). Better access control and support for various perspectives.
* Fixed#1031
* Fixed Orb of Inhibition and Recanter's Cloak (they were incorrectly implemented). Fixed#97.
* Fleeing hero won't lose artifacts. Spellbook won't be captured. Fixed#980.
* Fixed crash when attacking stack dies before counterattack (ie. because of Fire Shield)
* Server does some basic checks if action requests during battle are valid
* Minor stuff.
- 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
- New creature window - visit forum for package with necessary graphics: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=6908#6908
- More AI optimizations - heroes will be processed starting from the fastest one.
- AI will check is GATHER_ARMY object is reachable
