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.
On first start-up, the game will ask if you want to participate
in our automated survey. You have to opt-in, and can easily opt-out
(via the Options) at any time.
When opt-in, whenever you exit a game, a JSON blob will be send
to the survey server hosted by OpenTTD. This JSON blob contains
information that gives a global picture of the game just played:
- What settings were used
- How many humans vs AIs
- How long the game has been played
- Basic information about the OS / CPU
All this information is kept very generic, so there is no
chance we send private information to our survey server.
Nothing in the JSON blob could identify you as a person; it
mostly tells about the game played. At any time you can see
what the JSON blob includes, by pressing the "Preview Survey
Results" button in-game.
In many instances the clicked row position is 'manually' calculated
instead of using the GetScrolledRowFromWidget helper function, with
variations on checks. Replace with the two helpers where possible.
This function returns an iterator, either to the selected item or the
container's end.
This makes handling the result more robust as indices are not used.
Though where similar calls are checked for nullptr as in those instances of
the use of that function it can actually return nullptr. In other words, write
down the assumption that the function never returns nullptr in an assert.
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.
