this var works like _new_train_id and the rest of that kind of vars, except it is set each time a vehicle is build, nomatter what type
this is a nice tool to code vehicle independent code, which in turn can reduce code duplication
Right now it's used in ReplaceVehicle() and CmdCloneVehicle()
Simplify this check by testing the rail vehicle info flags instead of passing a global variable around.
Note: This is not exactly the original behaviour, because the Lev4 was always allowed to be built, but i guess that was a glitch.
-This allows a player to clone an excisting vehicle of his own
-[fix]: this uncovered an excisting bug in CmdBuildRailVehicle() where depots could build trains of the wrong track type. This is fixed
-Thanks to Celestar for drawing the sprites and _luca_ for including them in openttd.grf
- Benchmark shows that NTP is now around 10x faster than NPF.
- Made IsTunnelTile macro to determine if a tile is a tunnel.
- Added some useful debugging functions for making tiles red / getting accurate timestamps.
- Remove old depot finding algorithm.
- Disable warning for signed/unsigned comparisons.
- Feature: [pbs] Implement autoplacement of pbs blocks, when a block has an entry and an exit pbs signal, covert the entire block to pbs. Can be turned off in the patch settings.
- Feature: [pbs] Allow showing of reserved status by making the tracks darker, when the pbs debug level is at least 1.
- Codechange: [NPF] Check the railtype along a route against the engine type instead of against the previouse tile. This clears the way for electriefied rails.
- Add: [NPF] [ 1209644 ] A penalty for crossings (peter1138)
* Add: rail.[ch] for rail-related enums and wrapper functions.
* Codechange: Removed dozens of magic numbers with below enums.
* Codechange: Rewrote CheckTrackCombination().
* Add: TILE_SIZE, TILE_PIXELS and TILE_HEIGHT constants.
* Add: enums RailTileType, RailTileSubtype, SignalType to mask against the map arrays.
* Add: enums Track, TrackBits, Trackdir, TrackdirBits for railway track data. (Note that the old RAIL_BIT constants are replaced by TRACK_BIT ones).
* Add: enums Direction and DiagDirection
* Codechange: Moved a bunch of track(dir) related lookup arrays from npf.[ch] to rail.[ch].
* Codechange: move RailType enum from tile.h to rail.h.
* Add: Wrapper functions for masking signal status in the map arrays: SignalAlongTrackdir, SignalAgainstTrackdir and SignalOnTrack.
* Add: Wrapper functions to access rail tiles, using above enums
* Add: Wrapper functions to modify tracks, trackdirs, directions, etc.
* Add: Wrapper functions for all lookup arrays in rail.[ch] (Arrays are still used in parts of the code)
* Codechange: Renamed some variables and arguments to better represent what they contain (railbit -> track, bits -> trackdirbits, etc.).
* Codechange: Don't use FindLandscapeHeight() in CmdRemoveSingleRail(), since it returns way too much info. Use GetTileSlope() instead.
* Codechange: [NPF] Removed some unused globals and code from npf.c.
