- 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
- Don't treat non-booleans as booleans
- Reduce variable scope
- Bracing
- Use DeMorgan's law to make conditionals easier to read
- if cascade -> switch
- Replace some magic numbers by symbolic names
- Avoid assignments within other statements
- Change fixed array per player to a single pool. This avoids future problems
with vehicle numbers and decreases savegame size. Engine replacements from
previous savegames will be lost.
- Move engine replacement code from players.c to engine.c.
(thanks to blathijs for rewriting this)
- Fix: savegames only give back one message, show this by ignoring the first argument. Perhaps make the message more verbose in the future by adding STR_ equivalents next to the already existing debug messages.
-Fix: the AI speed control is done by the AI-core, individual AIs don't have to do it (so, AIs were delayed twice ;)
-Add: Support for AI-network-clients (an AI, connecting to a remote server)
-Fix: minor AI-core problems
max_autosave_num in the config files sets the number of autosaves to keep (default 16)
MAX_NUM_AUTOSAVES in Makefile.config sets the default value. 16 is used if no value is given
this behaviour can still be overwritten by keep_all_autosave (openttd.config setting)
Note: this is a requested behaviour for PDA ports, since they got limited storage space
- Waypoints: Until now stat_id was saved but never assigned to. Instead we now save the GRFID/local index of the custom graphics so that GRF file changes can leave graphics intact.
-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
