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.
- CodeChange: To correctly accept engine-prototypes, the best-player checking has been moved to its own function, I hope it functions the same as before.
- CodeChange: Added symbolic types of PlayerID, OrderID and EngineID. For engines also added GetEngine() and IsEngineIndex(), similar to the other such functions.
- CodeChange: To correctly build industries, some tables have been moved to build_industry.h. The only way to find out currently if an industry is valid in a climate is by looping all industries and checking if it matches. Also to comply with the patch setting build_rawmaterial_industries, it is assumed that these industries do not accept any cargo of any type. This can and probably should changed in the future to some flag in their struct. Also use _opt_ptr instead of _opt.
- CodeChange: implemented the HQ checking code inspired by MarkR2 in "[ 1190944 ] Many commands not checked for security". Unfortunately it is impossible to prevent only deleting a HQ by a modified client atm.
- CodeChange: For insert order and modify order their parameters are implicitely truncated to 8 bits, instead of the 16 bits said in the comments.
- CodeChange: changed the airport gui airport-type checking. Added function GetValidAirports() that returns bitmasked availibility, is also used for checking.
- CodeChange: to check tree-planting, 2 const arrays have been moved to table/tree_land.h (type and count)
- CodeChange: added IsTownIndex() in following of IsStationIndex(), etc.
- Fix (regression): road tunnels did not work anymore, forgot that their type was 0x200 (documented now)
- Fix (regression): fix up terraform land where every player can terraform land (towns, map generation), and player can terraform different corners; used for building tunnels
- Fix: [ 1197256 ] max station spread patch < 7 does not work. Station spread was not taking into account when not using drag&drop. Fix this up, and add a callback to the settings window to immediately reflect the changes.
Buoys will now try to get within 3 tiles of a buoy instead of a the actual buoy tile. This gets ships to got past buoys in a realistic (IMO) way instead of barging right through them.
- Fix: [NPF] Trains get curves penalties sometimes even when the track is straight.
- Add: [NPF] Ships get a penalty for going over buoys now, so they will try to go around.
- Add: [NPF] Ships get a penalty for curves too, yay for straight lines.
- Add: TrackdirToTrack(), TrackToTrackdir(), IsDiagonalTrack() and IsDiagonalTrackdir() helper functions.
- Add: IsBuoy() and IsBuoyTile() helper functions.
- Codechange: Rearranged part of the control flow of ShipController(), removing a goto.
This should prevent trains, which are longer than the station, to turn around without stopping under certain circumstances and fix speed limit for trains entering a station, when realistic accerlation is used
