| − | Current version of town description format.
| + | {{Template:MovedToWebpage|https://vcmi.eu/modders/Entities_Format/Faction_Format/}} |
| − | | |
| − | = Remaining tasks =
| |
| − | * Remove usage of numeric ID's. Long-term goal due to heavy usage of id's in VCMI code.
| |
| − | * Determine location of name and descriptions (buildings or structures)
| |
| − | * Collect any remaining hardcoded data
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Split faction description from town description ==
| |
| − | Currently there is no separation between "faction" and "town" concepts.
| |
| − | This results in several issues:
| |
| − | * Neutral creatures have invalid faction - no town with such description is present
| |
| − | * Loading towns requires creatures and loading creatures requires towns
| |
| − | | |
| − | This should be split into several parts:
| |
| − | * faction: stores all information that can be separated from town (e.g. puzzle map, hero classes, creatures)
| |
| − | * town: stores only information required for town (e.g. buildings and recruitable creatures)
| |
| − | * (optional) town gui: separate structure will all gui-specific data (e.g. structures)
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Merge in remaining json configs ==
| |
| − | * (DONE) buildings.json (used as base for this configuration)
| |
| − | * (DONE) creatures_backgrounds.json
| |
| − | * (DONE) hall.json
| |
| − | * (DONE) town_pictures.json
| |
| − | * (DONE) towns_defs.json
| |
| − | * (DONE) wall_pos.json (needs removing hardcoded name)
| |
| − | * puzzle_map.json (needs removing hardcoded name)
| |
| − | * commanders.json (leave it as it?)
| |
| − | * terrains.json (movement speed should be left in terrain configuration I think)
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Merge in data from HoMM3 txt files ==
| |
| − | * BldgNeut.txt
| |
| − | * BldgSpec.txt
| |
| − | * Dwelling.txt
| |
| − | * (DONE) Building.txt
| |
| − | * (DONE) TownName.txt

| − | * (DONE) TownType.txt
