since it uses UTF16 for file access. To keep os-specific code to a minimum, OpenTTD
uses UTF8 internally everywhere, converting to OS-type when needed (save/load/screenshot/etc.)
Example: make a train transport iron ore from A to B, then it visits a depot and refits to steel
It then transport steel back to A or near A if there is a factory and then it visits another depot to refit to iron ore again
This is controlled in the orders. If a goto depot order is lightlighted, then "Unload" changes to "Refit"
Control click "Refit" removes the refit part of the order (as the tooltip says)
The player will still pay the normal refit costs
Known issues:
If a vehicle is not in a depot, then the refit window will fail to tell refitted cargo capacity
Refit costs in the refit window can sometimes print 0 when it should not because the refit calculation is unaware that the vehicle will be refitted in between
Warning: autoreplace got a protection against replacing something so you get a new cargo type, but it can fail here. In the iron ore/steel example, it can see that
the vehicle carries iron ore and the new one can be refitted to iron ore, then it will replace. It will not check to see that it's valid for steel as well.
This is something to look into in the future
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.
dualcore can be faster then you want, and therefor create 2 threads, while
you made the bool to make sure there is never more then 1 thread of this type.
- 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
Many tnx to those people who helped making this:
Belugas, DaleStan, glx, KUDr, RichK67, Rubidium, and TrueLight (alfabetic)
Many tnx to those who helped testing:
Arnau, Bjarni, and tokai (alfabetic)
And to all other people who helped testing and sending comments / bugs
Stats: 673 lines changed, 3534 new lines, 79 new strings
Commuter airport: Small. 5x4. 3 terminals, 2 helipads.
Intercontinental: massive. 9x11. 8 terminals, 2 helipads, 4 runways.
Helidepot: a small heliport with a depot for helis only.
Helistation: a large heliport with 3 helipads and a depot.
-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
- CodeChange: Change the function GetCurrentLocale(). It returns the locale from some default environment-variables, plus a custom one defined as parameter. If all fail, it tries $LANG.
