The fheroes2 1.0.1 project release is available, which recreates the Heroes of Might and Magic II game engine from scratch. The project code is written in C++ and distributed under the GPLv2 license. To run the game, game resource files are required, which can be obtained, for example, from the demo version of Heroes of Might and Magic II or from the original game.
Major changes:
- A significant part of the code has been reworked to create a future map editor.
- Fixed various animations in combat: rendering priority of effects of mass spells, reactions of creatures to low morale, damage from mass spells and area attacks, shot storyboard, arrow flight, projectile start and end positions, movement of some creatures.
- Added support for screen resolution scaling for more comfortable playing in windowed mode without loss of clarity due to anti-aliasing.
- Tools for downloading a demo, extracting original assets, and managing saves have been added to a separate Android app.
- Optimizations have been made to speed up rendering and reduce power consumption.
- Improved design of Russian alphabet characters for more compact display of text on game buttons.
- Improved translation into Russian and many other languages.
- Over 40 bugs fixed.
