The size of these steps normally about (max - min) / 50, which results in steps of 100 000 years for the start year, end year, network restart year and the year of introduction of coloured newspapers.
All properties can now be modified i.e:
Introduction date for euro conversion
Currency name, decimal separator, currency symbol (before or after amount)
and the rate compared to the base currency, the british pound
- New optional landscape generator (TerraGenesis Perlin)
- Load heightmaps (either BMP or PNG)
- Progress dialog while generating worlds (no longer a 'hanging' screen)
- New dialogs for NewGame, Create Scenario and Play Heightmap
- Easier to configure your landscape
- More things to configure (tree-placer, ..)
- Speedup of world generation
- New console command 'restart': restart the map EXACTLY as it was when you
first started it (needs a game made after or with this commit)
- New console command 'getseed': get the seed of your map and share it with
others (of course only works with generated maps)
- Many new, world generation related, things
- Many internal cleanups and rewrites

- 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)
- Fix: savegames only give back one message, show this by ignoring the first argument. Perhaps make the message more verbose in the future by adding STR_ equivalents next to the already existing debug messages.
-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
-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)
