That wouldn't be as big issue if problem affected few files, but it everywhere in codebase.
Fixed it everywhere since in most files that is the only code with wrong indentation.
Long time ago it's was used without prefix to make future switch from boost to std version easier.
I discusses this with Ivan and decide to drop these using from Global.h now.
This change wouldn't break anything because there was already code with prefix for each of three cases.
Now CGTeleport is not publicly available handler, but generic class for teleport channels usage.
Teleport channels are stored as part of information about the map.
- added minimize() method in logical expressions that will remove excessive elements
- replaced forEach() with morph() that allows replacing types in variant
- removed hoverText field
- split getHoverText() method into 3:
- - getObjectName() for generic name
- - getHoverText(Player) for player-specific text
- - getHoverText(Hero) for hero-specific strings
- Implemented Bank Constructor object.
- Merged Pyramid object into common Bank class. Banks can now grant
spells as part of their reward.
- Move bank config code to config/objects/creatureBanks.json. Note: WoG
banks are not updated yet, should be moved to WoG mod.
- Updated AI code so it can correctly evaluate bank danger (should be
generic enough for use with other objects)
- New files JsonRandom.* that contain routines for loading random
objects from Json (still WiP but should be stable)
- This file is now split into multiple smaller files in mapObjects
directory
- CObjectHandler itself now contains only core classes (Handler itself,
CGObject and interfaces)
- Cleaned up excessive #include's through whole project
- New files: lib/CObjectWithReward.h/cpp
- Classes that will be replaced by configurable object are now in this
fil
Status: far from functional, currently at "it compiles" point, some
essential pieces are still missing.
- refactored CRandomGenerator (added util methods, improved method names)
- usages of std::minstd_ran are replaced by CRandomGenerator (not in entire code base, C rand() usages are still not replaced)
- refactored getArtSync method of CArtHandler -> now named pickRandomArtifact
- fixed some compiler warnings
- updated source code URL in VCMI spec
- fog of war will be initialized after bonuses are set (needed if heroes
have scouting or arts with sight bonus)
- victory condition "control all dwellings" also requires golem factory/
- it is possible to dismiss troops during exchange between heroes
- if special victory condition is present AND there is only one player
normal victory condition will be disabled
- added new triggered condition, constant value
- if target of CONTROL/DESTROY condition is removed from map, triggered
condition will be replaced with constant
- fixed randomization of armies with random stacks
- fixed bug when loading victory/loss conditions of the 3rd scenario in the first ROE campaign
- fixed bug when loading artifacts to hero of the 3rd scenario in the first ROE campaign (due to corrupt H3M map)
- implemented function object to quickly find a object by it's sub ID in a list
- added netbackbase.h to header list in CMake
- removed false message which said that the server loaded the map successfully
- replaced CDefObjInfo with ObjectTemplate class
- ObjectTempate is a direct member of objects instead of pointer with
shared ownership across CMap, handler and game objects
- simplified handling of objects that can change appearance (e.g. towns)
- all object queries regarding object appearance/blockmaps use h3m pos
instead of relative positions
- removed need of modhandler::reload
- cleanup of some old code
correct conditions.
All custom conditions are now validated using schema.
Note that some of scenarios may not work due to instant win/loss, mostly
because some placeholders fail to import (Mantis #1643)
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
changeset:
- victory/defeat will be detected using triggered events
- vcmi will convert h3 conditions into set of triggered events
- it is possible to either change number of days without towns or even
remove this loss condition completely
- possibility of custom win/loss text and icons in pregame (no longer
connected to win/loss conditions)
Still missing:
- No interface to pass custom events/victory conditions into the game
- AI would benefit from improvemets (handle all victory conditions,
select best one to fulfill)
- You have X days till defeat message still hardcoded to 7 days
- credits screen will use multi-line label instead of hackish usage of text box
- campaign intro movie player now plays voiced intro
- minor fixes to last commit
- 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
- 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
* Reverted std::bind to boost::bind. std::bind on Visual 2012 doesn't work in some cases (especially with std::ref), not sure why [but it seems to be a bug, since 2013 preview compiles the same code fine].
* Move assignment operator for VS 2012.
* 0 is not convertible to std::function, nullptr should be used
* std::ref(rand) is not convertible to function<int()>, used lambdas (why we dont just pass "rand" ? )
* CFunctionList needs to be constructible from nullptr
* move constructor for CMapInfo (Visual cannot generate them :( )
* #ifdefed some stuff that is not needed anymore since cmath is updated with C99 stuff
* using std::make_unique instead of our vstd implementation
CSelector:
* introduced a class in place of typedef
* Having an overloaded && || operators over sth that is convertible to bool… Wasn't a good idea after all. Purged the operators, replaced with And/Or methods (chaining-style).
* constructor that is present only when constructing from class or function (SFINAE). std::function has an implicit converting constructor from T causing ambiguities (even if the overload would cause compile error in the body)
- BOOST_FOREACH -> for
- replaced several boost classes with std (e.g. unordered)
- removed gcc-4.5 workarounds
- ran clang c++11 migration tool to detect some cases:
- - pointer initialized with "0" to nullptr
- - replace for with iterators with range-based for
- - use auto in some situations (type name specified twice, avoid long iterators type names)
- use std versions of function, bind and ref
- OVERRIDE -> override
- NULL -> nullptr
- use std versions of random distributions
NOTE: this may be last revision that supports gcc-4.5
- 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)
Minor changes:
* default log level set to trace
* LOG_TRACE raii guardian lifetime will last till the end of block
* compile fixes
* minor refactorings
