Summary0002060: After loading game FuzzyHelper::estimateBankDanger not work properly
DescriptionAs result it's will always return zero danger for banks and AI will no longer able set goals properly: all heroes that not powerful enough to win will be sent to banks and die.

This one is somewhat tricky problem that me and @AVS spend multiple hours to investigate. It's happen because after loading the game "CBankInstanceConstructor::levels" no longer contain sub JSON vector called "guards". Without "guards" info "CBankInfo::getPossibleGuards" no longer able to return proper power of certain bank.

Though "chance", "combat_value" and "reward" are loaded properly. Full structure may be found here:
/config/objects/creatureBanks.json
Additional InformationAlso we checked several things here:

  - On saving it's looks like "levels" are serialized properly.
  - In save file binary it's also looks like all information in place.
  - Even on loading of save it's looks like that "guards" vector it's looks like that serializer attempt to read it, but this isn't 100% checked.

So most likely something bad happen within deserialization process.

If you want to get more useful data set breakpoint here:
/lib/mapObjects/CommonConstructors.cpp:431
std::unique_ptr<IObjectInfo> CBankInstanceConstructor::getObjectInfo(ObjectTemplate tmpl) 
const
{
    return std::unique_ptr<IObjectInfo>(new CBankInfo(levels));
}

Also attached special test map I used for easier testing.

Also it's possible that it's should be duplicate of 0001918, but may be separate problem too.

And here is one more other addition so it's won't be forgotten. Before I find out that problem with banks caused by actual game bug I'm get an idea that it's would be great to add some "memory" for the VCAI.

So VCMI originally threat banks danger based on config files because it's can't know actual level of the object. Though once hero visited bank and die here AI should "remember" what exactly level of bank it is and as result threat it's danger more carefully.

Also had idea to make sure that next hero that visit bank should be at least a bit more powerful that previous hero that died here.

Bump this one as it's currently biggest problem with VCAI.
If anyone may want to help with it this may be extremely useful.

Not sure why it's assigned to me. Probably Ivan is the guy responsible both for JSon parser and object rewrite.

I think it's just assigned automatically. :-)

Now this is an interesting bug. I still have no idea why this happened but seems to be fixed now.

Short version - serialized *changed* key of std::map insert of loading new key into a buffer (variable on stack)

As result - data from this key was overwritten by subsequent loading.

Weird. But should be fixed.
