- Change fixed array per player to a single pool. This avoids future problems
with vehicle numbers and decreases savegame size. Engine replacements from
previous savegames will be lost.
- Move engine replacement code from players.c to engine.c.
(thanks to blathijs for rewriting this)
- Fix: savegames only give back one message, show this by ignoring the first argument. Perhaps make the message more verbose in the future by adding STR_ equivalents next to the already existing debug messages.
This means that any user attempt to remove a rear engine will tell the user to move the front engine instead
This fixes the assert when moving multiheaded engines (introduced in r3144)
Note: to make old savegames use this feature, some engines might be turned around in order to link engines in pairs
-Codechange: train subtype is now a bitmask
This allows fast access to info like if it is a wagon or engine and if it is in front and so on
Note: savegame version bump
- Waypoints: Until now stat_id was saved but never assigned to. Instead we now save the GRFID/local index of the custom graphics so that GRF file changes can leave graphics intact.
-Trains will now remember the length of stations it visits and sell cars
when being autoreplaced if they became too long
-If it needs to remove cars, then it starts from the front and sells
all it can find until the train is short enough
-This only works for trains, that knows the station length of the route
so a full uninterrupted run is needed
-a train needs 1-2 runs to detect if the shortest station is expanded
-This feature can be turned on and off in the train replace window
and each company can have it's own setting
-NOTE: minor savegame version bump
When game is saved and you save again you get an error message (not when autosaving) and it's aborted. When a game is loaded in the meanwhile execution pauses until saving thread finishes.
-This means that one company can only have one setting for renew and replacing
more clients will not fight due to different settings anymore
-This is a needed step in the line to fix autoreplacing dualheaded locomotives
NOTE: savegame revision bump (peter1138 + me in coop)
- Do not dereference a local variable which no longer exists; this lead to random crashes when saving
- (Win32) Do not close a handle before it is used last
There are still many major problems (race conditions and resulting memory corruption/crashes) left
Added RandomTile/RandomTileSeed functions to generate a random tile.
Changed landscape routines so they don't assume that the Y map side is a power of two. (support for this is not complete, though)
Changed some frequently used map macros to not compute the values each time.
Silence some warnings on MSVC.
- Fix: autosaving/loading; it no longer returns a fail code when saving is already in progress. In the case of a load, the game pauses to wait for the save to finish. (glx)
- Fix (regression): fix a bug in the 'buggy load' code where a wrong offset was used for the LZO format.
- Fix: fixed GetSavegameFormat() so that it takes the best compressor (highest), or a forced one added with the parameter
- Open issues:
1. Don't attempt to load a game while saving is in progress, it will kick you back to the intro-screen with only the vast ocean to look at.
2. The server is disabled from threaded-saving, but might be enabled in the future.
3. Current implementation only allows 1 additional running thread.
4. Stupid global variables.....grrr
Big thanks for TrueLight and the amazing memorypool :D
