- extracted low-level reader from MapFormatH3M class
- added separate structure to define version-specific values
- cleared up some H3M format edge cases
- replaced witch hut skill vector with set
- converted several fields to enum type
Specialize native terrain entity for all object that have
native terrain. Allow creatures to take global bonuses into
account when checking for native terrain.
It is not hardcoded now. MOVEMENT.TXT is still not read,
but ARMY_MOVEMENT updater parameters can be specified in json.
There is a 4 parameters:
1. Base - base value (firstly lowest speed is multiplied by it)
2. Divider - base value is integrally divided by it
3. Multiplier - result value will be multiplied by it
4. Max - maximum allowed movement from army.
Vanilla values is in defaultMods.json
Fixes: https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=3209
1. Now there is only one bonus: MOVEMENT, with 2 subtypes: 0 is sea, 1 is land
For movement value on land depends on creature speed we use a new
ARMY_MOVEMENT updater with global bonus. If we does not like such
dependency, we can just remove this updater from json.
2. All specialities and secondary skills for movement moved to new
system AFAIK
Intelligence is converted to both global effect and skill bonus
Bonus name HERO_MANA_PER_TEN_KNOWLEDGE is a little weird, but works
like old SECONDARY_SKILL_PREMY bonus

Now server-side code should always use CRandomGenerator::getDefault which is serialized in GH.
CGameState::getRandomGenerator should be only used from GS code and CPackForClient-based applyGs.
TurnInfo contain information about what movement-related bonuses and MP hero going to have on certain turn.
This way we can collect this information once for each turn so it's huge performance boost.
Now pathfinder take into account different bonuses for different tuns. So if you only have FLYING_MOVEMENT bonus from Fly spell for one turn then pathfinder will only let you use air layer within one turn only.
That work for cost calculations too. Let's say you have two bonuses:
- FLYING_MOVEMENT with 20% penalty for next 2 turns
- FLYING_MOVEMENT with 40% penalty for 5 turns
Now pathfinder using correct penalty for each turn so movements in air layer going to be more expensive on 3-5 turns.
