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.
The per-AI "start_date" is a lot of custom code, and was rarely
used in the way it was meant.
While at it, also ported this part over to the new timer system.
Previously, on a straight line of a one corner up slope with the adjacent
steep sloop the Z would increase one step every two sub pixels, except for one
case where one sub pixel is skipped. Similarly, a steep slope with two
adjacent one corner up slopes, would have a bump in the height line along the
diagonal whenever it enters/leaves the steep slope tile.
Previously it checked the position in non-driving direction to "guess" whether
a ground vehicle was using the function, so on tunnels/bridges it could either
return the Z of the (virtual) ground compared to the Z of the path the vehicle
would take.
IsSavegameVersionUntil() did a [0, N] check, not [0, N) as the
name suggests.
Until can be a confusing word, where people consider it to be
including the upperbound. Dictionary states it means "before",
excluding the upperbound. There are long debates about who is right.
So, simply remove away from this ambiguity, and call it "before"
and "before or at". This makes the world easier for everyone.
