This variable is saved as a setting which requires the variable type to be known, but std::chrono::minutes may vary depending on system type.
Instead, keep as uint32_t and convert to std::chrono::minutes only when setting the timer.
This allows list items to built from component parts as required, and additional
functionality is added:
* Icons and text can be positioned at the start or end of the space (templated.)
* Font size of text can be changed (templated.)
* Palette of sprites can be set (runtime.)
This simplifies processing nwidget parts as, unlike the remaining length, the pointer to the end of the list never changes. This is the same principle as we use(d) for tracking end instead of length for C-style strings.
And this removes 160~ instances of the lengthof() macro.
Most languages stick with the 3-letter latin currency codes in the name
string, however some translations are... clever... and use the currency
symbol instead. Whilst this may look nice, it can cause issues with fonts
as some scripts have a specific limited set of fonts which do not include
these symbols.
Instead, hard code the currency code list and add it when drawing the
currency name.
Having to choose between DropDownListStringItem, DropDownListCharStringItem, and DropDownListParamStringItem depending on whether to draw a StringID, a raw string, or a StringID with extra parameters was needlessly complex.
Instead, allow passing a StringID or raw string to DropDownListStringItem. This will preformat the StringID into a raw string, and can therefore accept parameters via the normal SetDParam mechanism.
This also means that strings no longer need to be formatted on every draw.
On first start-up, the game will ask if you want to participate
in our automated survey. You have to opt-in, and can easily opt-out
(via the Options) at any time.
When opt-in, whenever you exit a game, a JSON blob will be send
to the survey server hosted by OpenTTD. This JSON blob contains
information that gives a global picture of the game just played:
- What settings were used
- How many humans vs AIs
- How long the game has been played
- Basic information about the OS / CPU
All this information is kept very generic, so there is no
chance we send private information to our survey server.
Nothing in the JSON blob could identify you as a person; it
mostly tells about the game played. At any time you can see
what the JSON blob includes, by pressing the "Preview Survey
Results" button in-game.
