This struct is defined in geometry_type but not used by any geometry-related
code, only for subsidy code where both parameters are cast from int to
NewsReferenceType.
Strictly seen the comment is true, as it says 'e.g.', but it is
misleading. The server name is just that: the name of the server
as configured. No need to mention advertising.
When ever you saw this debug lines (which you never should), they
showed an empty address. It is also not very useful to have, as it
always points to a known server anyway.
The original idea was that people could find a server they could
talk in their native language on. This isn't really used in that
way. There are several reasons for removing this:
- the client also sends his "language" to the server, but nothing
is doing anything with this.
- flags are a bad way to represent languages, and over the years
we had several (rightfully) complaints about this.
- most servers have their language set to "All", and prefix the
servername with the language it is about. This is a much more
efficient way to do the same.
All in all, this feature should go back to the drawing board.
Maybe it could work in another form, but this form is not it.
The idea back in the days was nice, but it never resulted in
anything useful. Most servers either read "(loaded game)" or
"Random Map", neither being useful. It was meant for heightmaps,
so you could find a server that was using a specific one .. but
there are many things wrong with that idea. Mostly, servers tend
to save and load savegames from time to time, after which the
original heightmap used was lost.
All in all, removing map_name all together is just better.

If an overriding house type which newly fit in the limit changed the
tile layout, existing houses on the map could have the wrong layout
See: #243
Existing layout included a blank widget above the group list to align with the vehicle list, however since then an additional sort-by row was added.
Group list size tweaks to match normal row size (at least with normal gui and text size.)
Removed reduction of 2 rows in the group list <- main culprit of odd sizing.
Removed fill attribute on buttons which gave strange sizes, and put it on the group info widget instead.
Tweaked various soft-padding values to line up (centreing text with a 1px offset does not make centred text.)
The server information panel was scaled by GUI scale, which could result in a panel that is longer than the server list. This height difference is then maintained when the window is resized to fill the screen.
Instead, specify the minimum size by number of text lines and (summed total) padding.
