I've been thinking about it for some time as discussed in the thread. One thing for sure I don't want ERA compatibility to slow down normal development, which is an issue lately as I don't have as much free time as I did when I started the mod.

Anyhow, when 1.16 is ready things could change - stay tuned!

Event visibility bug

I usually toggle event visibility since it is useful for playing maps but sometimes events become unpassable, probably because of this feature so it becomes impossible to complete the map. I have tried to off event visibility, or even temporarily uninstall Sod SP but it doesn't help. Is there any fix?

I've never seen this, share a save please.

The current implementation simply forces events to be drawn on the map instead of skipping over it. As events are by default entry-based, the only way this can happen is if your specific map uses modified impassable events or your Objects.txt file was tampered with.

In 1.16, events are no longer forced to be drawn on the map. An event DEF is drawn directly to the tile.

Crashes

I'm not sure that this is the problem on the SoD_SP side but nevertheless. The game often crashes during the attempts of manual savings. HD 5.0 RC 53 + SoD_SP 1.15d.

Here is crash log:

At a very quick glance to your crash log, it doesn't seem related whatsoever. When I'll have some time I can try to run the game and see what's going on, if anything. If you happen to have a save where the crash is repeatable, send it to me.

I can't quite guarantee a date but I'm hoping this weekend or next. Everything boils down to testing and preparing the release at this point; the final phase taken longer than expected due to many factors but mostly because I've been focused on other projects. If it's problematic for Paragon's newest release, contact me directly.

[+] Maps may now have more than 255 Garrisons and Mines
NOTE: such maps will be forced to use SoD_SP 1.16.0 or more recent
[+] Mapmaker options and features are now available through Unleashed mapeditor
NOTE: for more information, refer to Unleashed mapeditor documentation
[ ] SoD_SP assets are now loaded through LOD using H3.LodTable.dll
NOTE: for more information, refer to H3.LodTable documentation
[ ] Text color is now handled by H3.TextColor.dll

[*] Rewritten using H3API headers

[*] Auto-installer now done with Inno Setup, also provides uninstaller
[*] Russian Text completely updated (thanks igrik)

For more information, please refer to the SoD_SP plugin notes.

The links in the first post will be edited shortly.

SOURCE
Parts of the source code, as well as headers and more can be found on my H3Plugins Github repository.

MEDIA DUMP
Version check

If you enable the CheckUpdate option in 'SoD_SP.ini', a single check during launch will be made to see if a new version is available.

Mapmaker options

Using the Unleashed mapeditor, mapmakers can now set custom options while using SoD_SP, the settings apply only to the current map.
Some random objects may now have their properties customized.
Documentation about these options, features and random objects is available through the mapeditor documentation.

For example, this Dragon Utopia will always spawn with the following characteristics, on this map.


New colors available can be seen here.




Ugh. That's quite the monkey off my back.
Now, bring in the bug reports! It seems I find something not working every time I took a look today... hopefully this iteration will work well enough.

also
in russian text translation for spells in the spellbook on a line "increase" is a minor flow. There are extra quotes, so it looks like this:
increase by: %d" units.

Installer is now corrected, my bad for not testing on separate computer -_-

I'll have to check the cursor shadow with the game later, I don't recall this issue. That'll go in 1.16.1 - the good part is now making new releases takes only a few seconds so I don't intend on making any more big releases in the future.

igrik's new language file is also added.

Thanks!

Congrats on this great and very important release!

As well as to fulfill my request about an individual number for each creature during battle, niche but convenient thing, at least for me

Regarding bug-report 1. I also have a problem with a cursor 2. Game is crashed after changing some option (turn off a necromancy/hero fusion) and trying after this a save/load procedure. 3. Found a strange visual bug - black tiles in some places which dissapier after surface/underworld changing on click - this occur only once and I dont know a reproduce condition.

btw, AI Necromancy a one more option for my "turn off list" - feel sorry for AI but he could continue cheating in some other places anyway, also, set this option in "off" state is important if you need to see a pure result in some cases, like playing in offline tournaments.

same for "Anchor bug", fire wall/force field placement is a very important for some battles and some of them could be winnable only with this option in "ON" state.

I made the correction of Necromancy according to your code. There is one problem: the number of skeletons in the battle of AI against AI is resurrected more than it should be (checked for ERA)
In addition, I saw your other corrections AI vs. AI.

Therefore, there is one suggestion - may remove remove the theoristic battle of the AI against the AI like this (I attach the screen). What do you think?



What do you think?

1 - I'll work on it at some point today, there's likely a missing check at some place I missed.
2 - Please send me the crashlog
3 - Were there events at these locations?

AI Necromancy - Sure, it was a feature request which is why I looked for it. Most of the changes are optional by nature. Same with the Anchor bug one. At least you can set them to whichever state you want through the mapeditor

Certainly it can solve issues, but it'll also probably slower.
It could also significantly change some combat results, I can't say.
If there is an issue with number of raised skeletons then I can inspect the fix further.

Fixed, missing out a few conditions on daily income.

I'll update the plugin after I've had some time to look for cursor issues and AI necromancy.

I agree that it is slower. But the problem is not only in necromancy.
The problem is also that the heroes of AI do not receive the artifacts of the defeated enemy, they do not teach the eagle eye. Perhaps there are still some problems about which we do not know.

These can be investigated and eventually solved; I personally prefer fixing bugs as they are identified. Switching the quick combat system completely feels to me like cutting off an arm when the it was the finger that was hurt.

Then there was a list of bugs that need to be investigated and fixed.

By the way, if I'm not mistaken, HD+ also turns off the theoretical battle.

If we talk about ERA, then I still see it safer to use a quick battle, because of the abundance of scripts. But this is an ERA
