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: 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).
- Don't treat non-booleans as booleans
- Reduce variable scope
- Bracing
- Use DeMorgan's law to make conditionals easier to read
- if cascade -> switch
- Replace some magic numbers by symbolic names
- Avoid assignments within other statements
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
abilities you really don't want to know about (free bridges, etc..)
I removed this flag some revisions ago, but the Aircraft part
depends on it, so I re-enabled it again..
-Fix: removed the ability for the oldAI to cheat (this will criple him somewhat)
-Add: base-code for many improvements to come in the AI-system
-Add: added base-code for multiplayer AIs (DOES NOT WORK YET!)
by enums. There remains work in gfx.c to move the "transparency" and
"recolor" bits around to make space for more sprites. However, 2800
additional sprites can now be loaded. There also remains cleanup and
Doxygen work on many of the header files.
(i.e. spans two height levels) and use it throughout the code.
-Codechange: Add CanBuildDepotByTileh to find if a tile is suitable to
build a depot on it. Wraps some bitmagic which seems quite unreadable at
first glance
- 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.
* Add: rail.[ch] for rail-related enums and wrapper functions.
* Codechange: Removed dozens of magic numbers with below enums.
* Codechange: Rewrote CheckTrackCombination().
* Add: TILE_SIZE, TILE_PIXELS and TILE_HEIGHT constants.
* Add: enums RailTileType, RailTileSubtype, SignalType to mask against the map arrays.
* Add: enums Track, TrackBits, Trackdir, TrackdirBits for railway track data. (Note that the old RAIL_BIT constants are replaced by TRACK_BIT ones).
* Add: enums Direction and DiagDirection
* Codechange: Moved a bunch of track(dir) related lookup arrays from npf.[ch] to rail.[ch].
* Codechange: move RailType enum from tile.h to rail.h.
* Add: Wrapper functions for masking signal status in the map arrays: SignalAlongTrackdir, SignalAgainstTrackdir and SignalOnTrack.
* Add: Wrapper functions to access rail tiles, using above enums
* Add: Wrapper functions to modify tracks, trackdirs, directions, etc.
* Add: Wrapper functions for all lookup arrays in rail.[ch] (Arrays are still used in parts of the code)
* Codechange: Renamed some variables and arguments to better represent what they contain (railbit -> track, bits -> trackdirbits, etc.).
* Codechange: Don't use FindLandscapeHeight() in CmdRemoveSingleRail(), since it returns way too much info. Use GetTileSlope() instead.
* Codechange: [NPF] Removed some unused globals and code from npf.c.
