I was a bit tired of the routine of porting HD to a new platform, so out of curiosity, I explored the following areas:
In the tournament module * for HD 3, there will definitely be: (as always, everything is optional):
- Displaying the chat in the town window (there might also be the ability to type, I'm not sure yet; it already works for me, but intermittently :) ).
- Continuous display of the remaining turn time in the format (hh:)mm:ss, regardless of which window is active (even the message window).
(In principle, I'm not far from implementing a chess timer).
- Starting the turn time countdown after clicking on the "OK" button in the message preceding the turn.
- A wider selection of turn duration (I'm not sure how to implement this: either any time from 1 to ?, or simply add 3 minutes).
- A user-friendly alliance selection interface in the original style.
- New fixes for original bugs: refugee camps, admiral's hat.
- The calculation of a hero standing on the outer market will be removed when quickly summoning the market.
- A number of options will be moved into the game and will have a graphical interface.
I'm not sure if this is necessary: - It might be possible to increase the waiting time for a response from a player, after which the game displays: has left the game (you have become the server). We could add a dialog box asking: Unable to connect..., try again?
P.S. I've started exploring password-protected saves, but the prospects are still unclear.
* Functionality that does not involve high resolutions and minimal expansion of the game interface will be separated into a separate module. (inviting a hero to the tavern, fixing game bugs, choosing paths, etc.)
A number of options, including options from existing HD 2.9x bug fixes, will only be available when playing HD+module vs. HD+module
