You can do: "startai myai.3", which starts version 3 of "myai".
This is very useful for testing save/load code between different
versions of your AI.
However, when using this syntax, the AI got saved as "myai.3" as
name of the AI, instead of "myai". This caused several problems,
like indicating to the user the AI could not be found, but still
load the AI. But in all cases, the AI never got the chance to
load the saved data, making the whole reason this exists pointless.
By splitting the name and version already in the console command,
the code becomes simpler and AIs started this way now follow the
normal flow after initialization.
It was rather confusing that "library_name" was calculated, and
then not used to do the FindLibrary() call. Flipping those two
blocks around makes it a bit more sane to read.
When link graph jobs are cleared due to abandoning the game or exiting,
flag the job as aborted.
The link graph job running in a separate thread checks the aborted flag
periodically and terminates processing early if set.
This reduces the delay at game abandon or exit if a long-running job
would otherwise still be running.
Check if the job is still running two date fract ticks before it is due
to join, and if so pause the game until its done.
When loading a game, check if the game would block immediately due to
a job which is scheduled to be joined within two date fract ticks,
and if so pause the game until its done.
This avoids the main thread being blocked on a thread join, which appears
to the user as if the game is unresponsive, as the UI does not repaint
and cannot be interacted with.
Show if pause is due to link graph job in status bar, update network
messages.
This does not apply for network clients.
Various of PatchPacks (Spring 2013, Joker, ChillPP) used versions
slightly higher than ours. Of course, as time went by, this
caught up with us, and we are now almost pushing a new version
that would conflict with them. To avoid users creating unneeded
issues about "why can I not load my savegame", lets be ahead of
the curve and flat-out refuse to load them.
Version-wise, this is totally fine. We have ~32k versions to go
before we run out (0x8000 is masked by JGRPP; we should avoid
using that). At the rate we bump savegames, this is not going to
happen in any sane reality.
Apple Clang version 12 (bundled with Xcode 12) complaints about copying
small objects in range loop (-Wrange-loop-analysis introduced by -Wall).
This warning can be easily avoided by removing the reference from
the const pointer type.
This means that for NE/NW, it should have one more in case of
freeform-edges, and in case of SE/SW it should have one less.
Reminder: freeform-edges only adds VOID tiles on X=0 and Y=0.
This is for consistency; most other objects add a # to indicate
it is the Nth of that object, except for Trains / RVs / Ships /
Aircrafts.
This becomes painfully apparent with unnamed vehicles in groups,
which do get a "#".
This mode doesn't wrap the mouse constantly, but requests SDL
to lock the mouse pointer. This is needed, as with Emscripten
you are not allowed to change the mouse poisition (only to lock
it into place).
Emscripten compiles to WASM, which can be loaded via
HTML / JavaScript. This allows you to play OpenTTD inside a
browser.

This commit prepares for the next commit, as Emscripten needs to
have a way to trigger a single iteration of the main loop. To
keep the real changes more clear, this commit only unrolls the
loop, and makes no changes to the logic itself.
With \x, we sometimes had to do the "" trick, as the length is not
predefined. With C++11 bringing \u to the specs, which has a preset
length, we no longer need the "" trick.
We set the strings to u8, to ensure all compilers use UTF-8 encoding
for the \u characters.
This was triggered by newer CLangs, which start to warn if you
use "" in the middle of a string, wondering if that was your
intention. It is a good question. And this is our answer :)
On Windows, relative folders don't work so well. So we need to
lookup the full path. This is best done in DetermineBasePaths()
and as a bonus that only sets SP_WORKING_DIR once.
Basically, with '-c' you now create a sandbox. It will still use
your personal-dir and global-dir to find files you installed there,
but all new files are stored with a base folder identical to the
folder the configuration is in.
This is a bit of an old bug, that we many have tried to solve in
various of different ways. The code has grown sufficiently complex
that it is hard to see what consequences of actions are. This is
in my opinion the most harmless solution, while increasing the
usefulness of the '-c' flag.
In essence, the problem was that empty folders were always created
in the directory where the configuration was, but as that directory
wasn't added to any searchpath, files weren't stored there, unless
by accident it was a folder already on the searchpath. For example,
if you do './openttd -c local.cfg', it did work as expected. But
in the more generic variant, it did not.
With this patch, you can run './openttd -c /new/folder/local.cfg',
and it will create and prepare that folder to receive new files.
'content_download' is also stored in the directory the
configuration is in; this was already the case. Important to
note that there is only one search-path for 'content_download'.
In other words, when using '-c', it will not look in '~/.openttd'
inside the 'content_download' folder.
This was just weird. With XDG _personal_dir was created already,
but later on it was checked if it was different from config_dir,
and the creation was skipped. All this checking and validation
makes my head spin .. let's make it a bit more simple.
Formally it was only done on exit. This means that if it crashes
changes in settings were not stored. This is often rather
frustrating. Additionally, targets (like emscripten) where people
are unlike to use "Exit Game", will never see their configuration
stored.
The drawback is that on every setting change there is some minor
I/O of writing the ini file to disk again.
If I explicitly tell the system I do not want sound, I still get
presented a nice message I do not have any BaseSounds available
on my system, and that I should download one to enjoy sound. Well,
let me tell you, with "-snull" that is really really not going to
help. So please, be quiet, and let me enjoy the game without
"boooooo" and "DING DING DING".
Thank you.
The intention of this function was that you could download
everything after a filter was applied; but this never really
took off. Instead, a select few people used this functionality
to download every available package on BaNaNaS. This is not in
the spirit of this service. Additionally, these few people were
good for 70% of the consumed bandwidth of BaNaNaS.
This is, by specs, undefined behaviour. See
https://reviews.llvm.org/D67122
In cases where this is done, optimizations done by LLVM can
generate code that causes crashes.
GetVariableAddress() had two (legit) ways this could happen:
- For SaveLoad set to global
- For SaveLoad set to SLE_VAR_NULL, where sld->address is always
a nullptr, and object could or could not be a nullptr.

When the restart command is issued, a normal map is always spawned.
This improvement takes into account the current state of _file_to_saveload to check if a savegame/scenario/heightmap was previously loaded, and loads the same resource again.
When compiling with '-Og', GCC warns about variables that are
initialized by reference in the condition of a 'while' loop.
This commit silences the warning by explicitly initializing the
variables in question to their respective 'invalid value' markers,
which will most likely be optimized out when the compiler realizes
the values are never used.
This changes the error when you attempt to convert a road owned by a town to another road, specifying that it's owned by the town rather than simply being incompatible. As the original poster of the issue pointed out, these seemed to be the only occurences of the incompatible road string, so now it's unused, but they would be left untouched in case of future use or since changing it to a different error would do the work of removing it then. If requested, it likely wouldn't be too difficult to remove the string entirely.
In 11ab3c4e the number of cargo types was changed from 32 to 64.
The save/load of Town::cargo_accepted was not updated, such that
only half of the data structure is saved/loaded in savegame versions
199 to 218.
Discard and regenerate data from all savegame versions prior to 219.
In 63ccb36e BaseConsist::name was changed from a malloced char*
to a std::string.
OrderBackup inherits from BaseConsist.
The saveload of OrderBackup::name was not updated.
Remove static buffer form of NetworkAddress::GetAddressAsString.
This is used in multiple threads concurrently, and is not thread-safe.
Replace it with a form returning std::string.
