- 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

- 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 unified structure consists of a SaveLoad type which stores all data relevant about the variable internals such as type, mem/filesize, address, version-control. The SettingDesc type is concerned more about the representation. Things like default value, string-name, minimum/maximum values, gui-behaviour etc.
- The SaveLoad type has received a few flags controlling saving/loading. These are:
SLF_SAVE_NO: the setting is not saved with the savegame, effectively making this setting player-based. Eg. it will NOT be overwritten when joining a network-game
SLF_CONFIG_NO: the setting is not saved to the configuration file so you cannot overwrite it ingame.
SLF_NETWORK_NO: the setting is not synchronised with the local settings when the game is loaded during network-play. Note that when SLF_SAVE_NO is set, SLF_NETWORK_NO is also set (which is logical), at least if the proper macros are used (in [2/4]).
- NOTE! The game is not compilable after this commit.
3626 broke the game on Big endian CPUs and this is a quick dirty fix
so the nightly builds for OSX and MorphOS will work again
the game will still fail on 64 bit BE CPUs
note: the game runs in 32 bit mode on G5, so it will work on G5
we need to make a better fix for this, but we also need the nightly builds to work
- hide and validate variable-size calculation (SlCalcConvMemLen/SlCalcConvFileLen)
- some signed/unsigned fixes
- handle conditional variables the same way for global -and struct types, through checking version_from and version_to
- 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)
a single station.
Thanks to: Truelight for the saveload code, Darkvater and Hackykid for
network testing and Tron for proof-reading 1500 lines of diff.
-Codechange: renamed all 'schedule' stuff to 'order(list)'
-Codechange: moved all order-stuff to order_cmd.c / order.h
-Codechange: vehicles that share orders are now linked to eachother
with next_shared/prev_shared in Vehicle
Developers: please use AssignOrder to assign data to an order. If not,
you _WILL_ make the save-routine to assert!
-Codechange: removed next_in_chain_old, and saved ->next for Vehicles
(and bumped savegame revision for that to version 4.4)
-Codechange: Added _sl.full_version, which has both major and minor version
an uint8 till the savegame version is bumped to version 5. Then it works
automaticly as a fully uint16. So _stations[] can not be increased till
after the bump!!
-Fix: added debug code to autosave cause it is buggy in multiplayer (does not remember settings; takes them from _opt instead of _new_opt (or vice versa)).
