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()
This makes GetSpriteDimension() superflous, because now it's just a thin wrapper around GetSprite() returning only part of the information, therefore remove it too
-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)
-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
- 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)
* Codechange: Made npf.c use some map array accessing wrappers instead of direct access.
* Codechange/Fix: Named every enum in tile.h. Fixes a nasty bug on MSVC where arrays would be initialised with zeroes (tnx Asterix_)
* Removed magic numbers from tables in tile.c.
* Added some explicit casts in tile.h.
* 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.
- Fix: Also recalculate the train cache values for 'wagon chains' (in the depot without an engine), to avoid possible desyncs later.
- Fix: Make CmdMoveRailVehicle update the caches of the correct trains in all cases.
- CodeChange: remove cmd-misuses CmdStartScenario() and CmdDestroyCompanyHQ()
- Fix (invisible): when parameter checking CmdRestoreOrderIndex() the vehicle did not have its orders yet, so it would fail. So move doing this until AFTER the orders have been added back in RestoreVehicleOrders()
- CodeChange: since only the server will be able to modify difficulty settings, leave the checking of correct values besides, and trust users will join legit servers.
- CodeChange: for renaming signs, only check if GetDParam(); eg _decode_parameters is empty ('\0') or not, instead of the extra check of players, etc. That basically does the same thing. Also dirty sign two times when renaming, once before, once after the action. Because if the name becomes shorter and you update only after, garbage remains on the screen.
- CodeChange: made GetMaskOfTownActions() available to the town-cmd to double-check if the action was available to the player. For this purpose the hardcoded _local_player has been removed from the function and is now passed as a parameter.
- CodeChange: To correctly accept engine-prototypes, the best-player checking has been moved to its own function, I hope it functions the same as before.
- CodeChange: Added symbolic types of PlayerID, OrderID and EngineID. For engines also added GetEngine() and IsEngineIndex(), similar to the other such functions.
- CodeChange: To correctly build industries, some tables have been moved to build_industry.h. The only way to find out currently if an industry is valid in a climate is by looping all industries and checking if it matches. Also to comply with the patch setting build_rawmaterial_industries, it is assumed that these industries do not accept any cargo of any type. This can and probably should changed in the future to some flag in their struct. Also use _opt_ptr instead of _opt.
- CodeChange: implemented the HQ checking code inspired by MarkR2 in "[ 1190944 ] Many commands not checked for security". Unfortunately it is impossible to prevent only deleting a HQ by a modified client atm.
- CodeChange: For insert order and modify order their parameters are implicitely truncated to 8 bits, instead of the 16 bits said in the comments.
GetVehicleTrackdir now tries to get a valid trackdir as much as possibly, by assuming that a vehicle is facing outwards in a depot or road station, for example.
- Codechange: [Multistop] Multistop now also tries to find a slot for road vehicles that are in stations, since the pathfinder now properly handles that.
