- Replace miles/kilometres game option with a general measuring units option.
- Add {POWER}, {WEIGHT}, {WEIGHT_S} and {VOLUME_S} (_S for short) tags to the language/string system.
- Add SI as option for measuring units.
Language file updates to use the system will come soon.
- Remove the temporary synchronisation in during the map-transfer as this is no longer needed
- The saved patches work just like the saved gameoptions. You have a _patches and a _patches_newgame struct. The _patches_newgame struct contains the values from the configuration file and thus the defaults for new games. When a new game is started or an older game is loaded, the default values are copied over to _patches to be used. When you load a game that has PATS saved, the default values are also loaded, but immediately overwritten by the values from the savegame. This ensures that player-based values are always taken from your personal preferences.
- The current implementation also changes the default values if you change player-based settings in the game. For example changing window_snap_radius in a certain game will also change it for all next OpenTTD sessions.
- The savegame version has been increased to 22.
- The last 6 orso patches close the following reports:
[ 1366446 ] different names for patches: all patch settings have the same name as in the configuration file and are reachable from the console.
[ 1288024 ] Strange string on OTTD initial screen: configuration (and this includes patches) inputs are validated and clamped to their minimum/maximum values.
[ 1423198 ] Make "Signals on Drive side" player, not server, based: this is only visual so current setting is to save it with the savegame but not synchronise in multiplayer.
[ 1208070 ] Patches and New GRF options saved: apart from newgrf this is done
- Because patches are (will be in a few commits) saved, you cannot specify the order of the GUI-items in the SettingDesc tables themselves. Doing so would mean messing around with the savegame-version, or doing expensive lookups. So the GUI-tables are now just simple indeces into the original table. No more is needed since that table contains all information
- The only change in functionality is that the stepsize has been automated. It is calculated from the minimum and maximum values such that within 50 clicks you will have gone from one end to the other if scrolling.
- The GUI has kept its flags intact. These are:
SGF_0ISDISABLED: the variable might have a domain higher than zero, but a special value of nul is used as telling that feature is disabled.
SGF_NOCOMMA: represent the number without any thousand-seperators
SGF_MULTISTRING: internally the variable is a number, but its representation is a string based on a simple offset.
SGF_NETWORK_ONLY: this setting can only be changed during network games
SGF_CURRENCY: the variable represents money and will be shown in the local currency
- - NOTE! The game is not compilable after this commit (because console hooks have not been updated)
- Code has been added to the saveload code to honour the SLF_SAVE_NO and SLF_NETWORK_NO flags. SLF_NETWORK_NO just reads in the the bytestream and then discards it because that setting is not synchronised. For this the function SlSkipBytes() has been reinstated
- SAVEGAME_VERSION has been changed from a constant ENUM to a constant integer. This was done for the configuration-code to be able to tell which version of a CONDVAR type to handle. As said before, because settings can be saved to the savegame, they will become conditional at some point. The configuration code always has to read the 'most recent' version.
- GameOptions are saved through the new structure. It is fully compatible with any old savegame...however it is better. Because of the move to this new format we can instruct the loader to skip certain variables. Autosave for example isn't synchronised anymore (in the network). The same goes for currency and kilometers :D. That is the only functionality change this patch is supposed to have if I have written it correctly.
- NOTE! Patches are still not saved so for Multiplayer to work network_client.c and network_server.c needed slight modifications.
- This unified structure merges the settings in settings.c (concerned with the ini file) and the ones in setting_gui., having to do with the GUI. I tried to give sensible min and maximum values to _patches that were not present in the GUI I hope they work out all right.
- All patch settings miss their callback function which have been temporarily reset to NULL
- Fixed a really small typo in a Doxygen comment in settings.h
- NOTE! When for example _patches are saved to the savegame (as are _gameopt_settings now), you cannot just blindly edit the struct. The same rules apply as to all the other SaveLoad structs. Eg correct CONDVAR's and only adding new entries at the end.
- NOTE! The game is not compilable after this commit.
- This unified structure consists of a SaveLoad type which stores all data relevant about the variable internals such as type, mem/filesize, address, version-control. The SettingDesc type is concerned more about the representation. Things like default value, string-name, minimum/maximum values, gui-behaviour etc.
- The SaveLoad type has received a few flags controlling saving/loading. These are:
SLF_SAVE_NO: the setting is not saved with the savegame, effectively making this setting player-based. Eg. it will NOT be overwritten when joining a network-game
SLF_CONFIG_NO: the setting is not saved to the configuration file so you cannot overwrite it ingame.
SLF_NETWORK_NO: the setting is not synchronised with the local settings when the game is loaded during network-play. Note that when SLF_SAVE_NO is set, SLF_NETWORK_NO is also set (which is logical), at least if the proper macros are used (in [2/4]).
- NOTE! The game is not compilable after this commit.
max_autosave_num in the config files sets the number of autosaves to keep (default 16)
MAX_NUM_AUTOSAVES in Makefile.config sets the default value. 16 is used if no value is given
this behaviour can still be overwritten by keep_all_autosave (openttd.config setting)
Note: this is a requested behaviour for PDA ports, since they got limited storage space
- 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: [NPF] Reversing inside of depots now has a penalty. It also applies to trains only, other vehicles shouldn't bother reversing.
- Fix: [NPF] When checking whether to reverse a train, the trackdir of the first loc was used instead of the last vehicle as a starting node for pathfindig.
This might have caused some trains not reversing when they should have (or vice versa). Typo introduced when converting to GetVehicleTrackdir() in r2256.
- CodeChange: [NPF] Removed duplicate code by letting NPFRouteTjoStationOrTile() call NPFRouteToStationOrTileTwoWay().
- Add: [NPF] NPFRouteToDepotBreadthFirstTwoWay() to find a depot while also looking backwards.
- Add: It is now possibly to specify a path cost for aystar starting nodes.
Buoys will now try to get within 3 tiles of a buoy instead of a the actual buoy tile. This gets ships to got past buoys in a realistic (IMO) way instead of barging right through them.
- Fix: [NPF] Trains get curves penalties sometimes even when the track is straight.
- Add: [NPF] Ships get a penalty for going over buoys now, so they will try to go around.
- Add: [NPF] Ships get a penalty for curves too, yay for straight lines.
- Add: TrackdirToTrack(), TrackToTrackdir(), IsDiagonalTrack() and IsDiagonalTrackdir() helper functions.
- Add: IsBuoy() and IsBuoyTile() helper functions.
- Codechange: Rearranged part of the control flow of ShipController(), removing a goto.
