The following entities can now be banned in a random map template
definition:
- Hero
- Artifact
- Spell
- Secondary skill
The ban follows the same rules as banning via the map settings in the
map editor.
It is also now possible to bypass dependencies and access identifiers
from mods that are not dependencies when defining:
- Banned entities in random map templates
- the chance of a hero class appearing in a tavern of a specific faction
- the chance of a spell appearing in a mage guild of a specific faction
- the chance of a hero class receiving a secondary skill
For this to work, the identifier must be specified in full, e.g.
`modName:objectName`. If the specified mod is not active, the game will
silently ignore this entry.
This behaviour is not affected by mod load order. It is possible to use
this format to access a mod that has not yet been loaded.
- CClient now inherits directly from CPrivilegedInfoCallback, like
IGameCallback did before. However CClient no longer needs dummy
implementation of IGameEventCallback
- CGObjectInstance hierarchy now uses CPrivilegedInfoCallback for
callback. Actual events can only be emitted in calls that receive
IGameEventCallback pointer, e.g. heroVisit
- CGameHandler now inherits directly from both CPrivilegedInfoCallback
and IGameEventCallback as it did before via IGameCallback
- `disposedHeroes` is now in map header, for use in map selection
- heroes that are marked as unavailable for player will now be hidden
from starting hero selection
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
