It’s because of server-client interprocess communication.
Will be fixed somewhen later.
Fixed. I hope.
Fixed.
Really fixed.
When Map Editor is opened, VCMI cannot map the .lod files.
(Interestingly, it worked fine before, when we used ifstream to handle them. Maybe we should consider returning to it?)
Fixed by Tow Dragon.
Fixed by Tow Dragon.
The Lod file stays open during the game, and so it it’s locking out writers. However that may not be necessary since all the data is actually duplicated. The file just has to be closed. I’ll make a fix for that.
#51 - In a battle, my side had Master Gremlins (speed 5), Stone Gargoyles (speed 6) and Magi (speed 5). On the Stone Gargoyles turn I cast Slow on the one stack of Marksmen on the other side, reducing their speed to 4. However the Marksmen still got first attack, so I guess that part of the code determining battle order/priority after casting Slow or Haste isn’t working as intended yet. In a battle with the same army against a stack of Horned Demons - a Haste on the MGs or Slow on the Horned Demons affects number of hexes of movement but not the battle priority/order.
#52 - On a related issue, the +1 to attack, +1 to defense and +1 to speed for creatures on their native terrain isn’t implemented yet.
Best regards,
Steven.
Possibly related to the above:
#53 Cannot open WoG (anymore?) when VCMI is open. I am getting the following message box: “Unexpected Program Termination - Files from Heroes III are missing. Please reinstall Heroes III.”
I am not sure this is a new bug, because I’m testing on a different machine, with a different Heroes III version. But I never had this issue in previous builds on my other PC (I was quite often having both of them open in parallel, to compare some elements).
[size=75]@Tow: yes, I couldn’t resist the temptation & downloaded WoG & VCMI to test this last build. 
I put them over an old version of SoD I had on the laptop I have with me on holiday. So the differences in game files as opposed to the PC I normally use for testing are that at home I have Heroes III Complete + the WoG Script Update, while here I have SoD & only WoG 3.58f, no Script Update][/size]
#54 LoadGame issues (could be related to #42).
This happened after I played 3 turns (3 Autosaved games), exited the game, then entered again:
Loading Autosave 3 led to crash: the Windows error window, even though sounds & animations were still working; however when I tried to move the hero, I only got the movement sound, as the game froze. I noticed afterwards that opening Autosave_3 led to an overwrite of Autosave_1.vlgm1 (but not .vsgm1 - see the date of the files in attachment).
Not surprisingly, afterwards loading Autosave_1 took long, and led to Runtime Error, with client being terminated (but not the console)
Reloading A_3 overwrites A_1 + error (see file date.time).ZIP (135 KB)
#55 The Event message boxes do not adjust their width for larger texts:
H3C: i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/Zamolxis/VCMI/VCMI%2007/th_090526-ATerribleRumorH3Cstart.jpg vs VCMI: i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/Zamolxis/VCMI/VCMI%2007/th_090526-ATerribleRumorVCMIstart.jpg [size=75](map start: A Terrible Rumor)[/size]
What we have in VCMI seems to be the minimal width used in H3 for short Event messages. However H3 had 4 different widths (and 3 different length) depending on the size of the message. You can see in the H3C screenshot above the maximum width, or better open the attached map in WoG to check all the different sizes.
EDIT: By loading the attached map, I noticed that VCMI actually does have another Event msg window width, which however should not exist (too narrow): i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/Zamolxis/VCMI/VCMI%2007/th_090528-SmallestEventmsgboxinVCMI.jpg
#56 While the width is minimal, there seems to be no limit in the length of the Event message boxes. Longer texts even go out of a 1024x768 interface: i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/Zamolxis/VCMI/VCMI%2007/th_090526-ATerribleRumorVCMIstart-cust.jpg
We don’t have to stick to the H3 exact sizes. And I’m saying that because somehow I find it easier to read a message box which longer rather than wider. But the length should at least be limited to that of the game interface. Also, the higher resolutions should allow bigger message boxes (again, preferably in length, not width), to avoid the need of a scroll bar.
#57 Not really a bug, but more an observation: I know the VCMI fonts are different – no issue here – but what I notice by comparing them with the H3 message boxes, is that they seem bolded (or a size bigger?). That’s ok for short Event messages, however for long messages (those not fitting in the standard maximum size box) I’d rather have them seem a smaller rather than bigger as compared to H3.
To reduce the chance that a large message doesn’t fit, as well as the need of scrolling too much, maybe we can have something like:
#58 Scrollbar support for Event message boxes. Even if we implement bigger boxes and/or adjust the fonts, VCMI should of course still be ready to support “too-long-for-most-players-to-read” 
Event messages.
The full functionality should be:
This also reminds me of:
#59 Page Up/Down hotkeys do not work in the list of Scenarios in the Main Menu. And as long as we are on the subject, it would be great if you could implement mouse scroll support and the Home/End hotkeys also for the Main Menu Scenario list. 
A-Terrible Rumor edit.h3m (11.2 KB)
And a couple of Console bugs:
#60 Using a letter i/o a digit to select the resolution blocks the console (i.e.: we cannot type “resolution” anymore in order to select the right value). If further we do try to start a game in VCMI, the Console gets populated with log text, however very slow, and eventually crashes when Adventure Map opens.
In the screenshot below, you can see that I could select “4” as resolution with no problem (just the appropriate “Invalid resolution ID” message) and then I could type in again “resolution”. However when I typed “e”, the Console blocked as you see it in the screenshot, and I couldn’t type anything in it anymore:
i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/Zamolxis/VCMI/VCMI%2007/th_090527-MistypinginConsole1.jpg
#61 Perhaps a non-issue: closing the Console i/o the Client gives a Windows error message.
[size=75](I won’t bother posting a screenshot here as the Windows on my laptop is in Dutch so probably it won’t tell you anything)[/size]
Mouse scroll works in scenario list :).
^ Well, that is good news. 
I admit I tested that only on my laptop, using laptop’s scroll bar. It seems that it works in some applications (Word, Excel, IE, Total Commander etc), but it’s not recognized in others (VCMI, Chrome…). No idea if it’s the driver of my laptop’s scrollbar or something in the way the scrollbar is coded in these applications in order to be recognized or not.

#62 - Some starting artifacts (such as Badge of Courage) don’t give a bonus when automatically equipped at the start of the game.
#63 - Badge of Courage (and other +1 luck, or +1 morale artifacts) seem to be giving 3 luck or morale rather than 1.

VCMI_0-71b_Crash_28May09.7z (117 KB)
Your g cc seems configured for i386. Try
CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=i686" ./configure --disable-debugand rebuild vcmi.
Both should be fixed.
I changed some of the code managing the scrollbar, so these should be fixed.
Fixed. Both monk and zealots use the same animation.
#65 - Magic heroes don’t get their specific starting spells yet.
Best regards,

Thanks:)

b70d8Аварийный останов#67 - Next one. Playing with cielle and kill one and last neutral unit stak by magic arrow not finish battle< the first unit must make operation.

#68 - I’m getting crashes when picking up artifacts, or the day after I pick up a Wood cart or the Cart of Ore, but so far it appears that it is happening more often after a few weeks, or a month or so, of H3 time. Hopefully that save I posted recently could help narrow it down as to what is causing the new turn or artifact pick-up crashes.
Best regards,
Steven.
