This means that in the intro menu the 'Quit' button immediatelly quits
and the 'Quit' in the menu of the normal game and scenario editor
immediatelly quits when the 'autosave_on_exit' patch is turned on.
This is the same way as the OS/window manager initiated quits, like
alt-F4 and the 'x' in the (OS/window manager drawn) title bar of OTTD.
- New optional landscape generator (TerraGenesis Perlin)
- Load heightmaps (either BMP or PNG)
- Progress dialog while generating worlds (no longer a 'hanging' screen)
- New dialogs for NewGame, Create Scenario and Play Heightmap
- Easier to configure your landscape
- More things to configure (tree-placer, ..)
- Speedup of world generation
- New console command 'restart': restart the map EXACTLY as it was when you
first started it (needs a game made after or with this commit)
- New console command 'getseed': get the seed of your map and share it with
others (of course only works with generated maps)
- Many new, world generation related, things
- Many internal cleanups and rewrites
Many tnx to those people who helped making this:
Belugas, DaleStan, glx, KUDr, RichK67, Rubidium, and TrueLight (alfabetic)
Many tnx to those who helped testing:
Arnau, Bjarni, and tokai (alfabetic)
And to all other people who helped testing and sending comments / bugs
Stats: 673 lines changed, 3534 new lines, 79 new strings
-Cleanup: fix whitespace related coding style issues in date.[ch]
-Cleanup: make original comments doxygen compatible and remove/change outdated comments
- Use DiagDirection instead of plain int for the orientation of the depot graphics
- Rename the associated data tables with sprites to something more meaningful
- CodeChange: Change the function GetCurrentLocale(). It returns the locale from some default environment-variables, plus a custom one defined as parameter. If all fail, it tries $LANG.
- Remove the temporary synchronisation in during the map-transfer as this is no longer needed
- The saved patches work just like the saved gameoptions. You have a _patches and a _patches_newgame struct. The _patches_newgame struct contains the values from the configuration file and thus the defaults for new games. When a new game is started or an older game is loaded, the default values are copied over to _patches to be used. When you load a game that has PATS saved, the default values are also loaded, but immediately overwritten by the values from the savegame. This ensures that player-based values are always taken from your personal preferences.
- The current implementation also changes the default values if you change player-based settings in the game. For example changing window_snap_radius in a certain game will also change it for all next OpenTTD sessions.
- The savegame version has been increased to 22.
- The last 6 orso patches close the following reports:
[ 1366446 ] different names for patches: all patch settings have the same name as in the configuration file and are reachable from the console.
[ 1288024 ] Strange string on OTTD initial screen: configuration (and this includes patches) inputs are validated and clamped to their minimum/maximum values.
[ 1423198 ] Make "Signals on Drive side" player, not server, based: this is only visual so current setting is to save it with the savegame but not synchronise in multiplayer.
[ 1208070 ] Patches and New GRF options saved: apart from newgrf this is done
-Indentation
-Whitespace
-DeMorgan's Law
-Test with NULL or 0 for non-booleans
-'\0' instead of 0 for chars
-Remove redundantly redundant comments (like DoFoo(); // Do foo)
-Join multiple short lines with a single statement
-Split single lines with multiple statements
-Avoid assignments in if
- Do not dereference a local variable which no longer exists; this lead to random crashes when saving
- (Win32) Do not close a handle before it is used last
There are still many major problems (race conditions and resulting memory corruption/crashes) left
Instead of trying to start a single driver and bailing out if that fails, try to initialise one by one and use the first one which succeeds.
This should fix problems on machines with no sound card, where -s null had to be specified manually.
- Benchmark shows that NTP is now around 10x faster than NPF.
- Made IsTunnelTile macro to determine if a tile is a tunnel.
- Added some useful debugging functions for making tiles red / getting accurate timestamps.
- Remove old depot finding algorithm.
- Disable warning for signed/unsigned comparisons.
Added RandomTile/RandomTileSeed functions to generate a random tile.
Changed landscape routines so they don't assume that the Y map side is a power of two. (support for this is not complete, though)
Changed some frequently used map macros to not compute the values each time.
Silence some warnings on MSVC.
- Fix: fixed GetSavegameFormat() so that it takes the best compressor (highest), or a forced one added with the parameter
- Open issues:
1. Don't attempt to load a game while saving is in progress, it will kick you back to the intro-screen with only the vast ocean to look at.
2. The server is disabled from threaded-saving, but might be enabled in the future.
3. Current implementation only allows 1 additional running thread.
4. Stupid global variables.....grrr
Big thanks for TrueLight and the amazing memorypool :D
