The class limit is arbitrary and not stored in game state.
This change prevents all entities in classes after the 255th class from being dumped into the first class.
It was already possible to define more than 256 per class, but not possible
to use them as the index used in GUI and passed through commands was limited
to a byte.
This is using a non-intrusive type-traits like templated system, which
allows compile-time validation that the command table and the command
enum match up.
- A proper ./configure, so everything needs to be configured only once, not for every make.
- Usage of makedepend when available. This greatly reduces the time needed for generating the dependencies.
- A generator for all project files. There is a single file with sources, which is used to generate Makefiles and the project files for MSVC.
- Proper support for OSX universal binaries.
- Object files for non-MSVC compiles are also placed in separate directories, making is faster to switch between debug and release compiles and it does not touch the directory with the source files.
- Functionality to make a bundle of all needed files for for example a nightly or distribution of a binary with all needed GRFs and language files.
Note: as this merge moves almost all files, it is recommended to make a backup of your working copy before updating your working copy.
