- Code has been added to the saveload code to honour the SLF_SAVE_NO and SLF_NETWORK_NO flags. SLF_NETWORK_NO just reads in the the bytestream and then discards it because that setting is not synchronised. For this the function SlSkipBytes() has been reinstated
- SAVEGAME_VERSION has been changed from a constant ENUM to a constant integer. This was done for the configuration-code to be able to tell which version of a CONDVAR type to handle. As said before, because settings can be saved to the savegame, they will become conditional at some point. The configuration code always has to read the 'most recent' version.
- GameOptions are saved through the new structure. It is fully compatible with any old savegame...however it is better. Because of the move to this new format we can instruct the loader to skip certain variables. Autosave for example isn't synchronised anymore (in the network). The same goes for currency and kilometers :D. That is the only functionality change this patch is supposed to have if I have written it correctly.
- NOTE! Patches are still not saved so for Multiplayer to work network_client.c and network_server.c needed slight modifications.
This means that any user attempt to remove a rear engine will tell the user to move the front engine instead
This fixes the assert when moving multiheaded engines (introduced in r3144)
Note: to make old savegames use this feature, some engines might be turned around in order to link engines in pairs
-Codechange: train subtype is now a bitmask
This allows fast access to info like if it is a wagon or engine and if it is in front and so on
Note: savegame version bump
- Add: GetVehicleTrackdir() helper function.
- Codechange: Moved SortStruct from vehicle_gui.h to ttd.h, so the dependency from vehicle.h on vehicle_gui.h could be removed.
- Codechange: Typedeffed the VehicleTypes struct so it can be used as the type for Vehicle.type instead of "byte".
- Codechange: Removed prototype for VehicleSorter(), which had no implementation anymore and was never called.
-Add: added 'pause_on_join' and 'max_join_time' for MP games, where you
can auto-pause the game when a client wants to join the game. This to
avoid connection losses because of big maps (200+ trains). (with tnx to
#openttdcoop for the ideas and testing)
'set rcon_pw <password>'
Which enables rcon. A client can now do:
'rcon <password> "<command>"'
The command will be executed on the server. (guru3)
-Fix: 'kick 1' did crash dedicated servers
-Fix: server password is now correctly saved
!!Warning!!: do not give your rcon password to people you do not thrust!
