The game date subsystem now allows someone to start in the year 0 and continue
up to the year 5 000 000. However, you currently cannot build anything before
1920 as there is no newgrf support for dates before 1920 or after 2090 yet.
-Feature: Bridges can now be placed above:
Any railway track combination (excluding depots and waypoints)
Any road combination (excluding depots)
Clear tiles (duh), including fields
Tunnel entrances
Bridge heads
Thanks to Tron for idea and implementation, KUDr for the yapf synchronization and many others for hours of testing
There are still a number of visual problems remaining, especially when electric railways are on or under the bridge.
DO NOT REPORT THOSE BUGS FOR THE TIME BEING please.
-Negative side effect: upon loading old games, stations whose last vehicle was a station have (temporarily) lower ratings.
-Positive side effect: station.h no longer includes vehicle.h (breaks the station.h->vehicle.h->rail.h chain)
1) Improved the road vehicle allocation (aka slotting) for multistop. Stops can now accept unlimited, er... 256, vehicles.
2) Removed the "wait for stop" feature, because it did not work in practise.
3) Slotting now ignores unreachable stations. Uses NPF at the moment because the old pathfinder cannot do it (yet)
4) Now matter how many vehicles approach a station, they will always be distributed evenly over existing stops.
5) Hopefully the last fundamental change to multistop
control-click on a unit in a train in a depot will make the click unit turn around
this is useful if you want "normal" engines to act as dualheaded (one each way) or similar
this only works on single unit units. Multiheaded and articulated engines get a red error box
this is based on a quick hack peter1138 while I made it network safe and correctly handling of multible unit engines
-Codechange: Completely rewritten the slot assignment system. It now consumes less CPU cycles and memory
-Codechange: Increased maximum number of roadstops to 16.
-Fix: Several conditions where a slot becomes unliked from a vehicle
-Codechange: ClearSlot now only takes one parameter, the vehicle
-Feature: Console command 'clearslots' to clear ALL currently assinged slots. debug usage only
-Feature: vehicles that cannot get a slot now wait on the road instead of planlessly blocking stops or circling around
-Codechange: Adjusted debug levels
TODO: Make the slot finder compatible with (a) pathfinder(s).
- 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)
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
-Indentation
-Whitespace
-DeMorgan's Law
-Test with NULL or 0 for non-booleans
-'\0' instead of 0 for chars
-Remove redundantly redundant comments (like DoFoo(); // Do foo)
-Join multiple short lines with a single statement
-Split single lines with multiple statements
-Avoid assignments in if
-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
Now it gives "too many vehicles" error message instead
To make this work, AllocateVehicles() needed to be moved to vehicle.c (from aircraft_cmd.c) and made non-static
currently this applies to planes and multiheaded train engines (no more lost airmail)
added GetNextEnginePart() that returns the next vehicle in an engine nomatter what type it is
when more types of multivehicle engines are added, they will have to be added here too or autoreplace will not remove all cargo
