This allows list items to built from component parts as required, and additional
functionality is added:
* Icons and text can be positioned at the start or end of the space (templated.)
* Font size of text can be changed (templated.)
* Palette of sprites can be set (runtime.)
Padding used to be included in the SetMinimalSize() part which was removed, but also made it require specific sprite sizes.
This now adds padding on the already determined size, removing the need for hardcoding pixel dimensions and allowing the sprites to be any size.
This simplifies processing nwidget parts as, unlike the remaining length, the pointer to the end of the list never changes. This is the same principle as we use(d) for tracking end instead of length for C-style strings.
And this removes 160~ instances of the lengthof() macro.
Having to choose between DropDownListStringItem, DropDownListCharStringItem, and DropDownListParamStringItem depending on whether to draw a StringID, a raw string, or a StringID with extra parameters was needlessly complex.
Instead, allow passing a StringID or raw string to DropDownListStringItem. This will preformat the StringID into a raw string, and can therefore accept parameters via the normal SetDParam mechanism.
This also means that strings no longer need to be formatted on every draw.
Progress bars are drawn differently depending on when it was added, with
different layouts and sizes.
This change adds a standard padding size to use, and makes all progress
bars visually similar, with scaled padding.
Use of zero-sized plane causes the window size calculation to change
depending on which plane is displayed. Instead use an empty plane so
that largest of the planes is taken into account for sizing.
It now follows very simple rules:
0 - Fatal, user should know about this
1 - Error, but we are recovering
2 - Warning, wrong but okay if you don't know
3 - Info, information you might care about
4 -
5 - Debug #1 - High level debug messages
6 - Debug #2 - Low level debug messages
7 - Trace information
This opens up the true power of the TGP terrain generator, as it
is no longer constrainted by an arbitrary low map height limit,
especially for extreme terrain types.
In other words: on a 1kx1k map with "Alpinist" terrain type, the
map is now really hilly with default settings.
People can still manually limit the map height if they so wish,
and after the terrain generation the limit is stored in the
savegame as if the user set it.
Cheats still allow you to change this value.
