CMake works on all our supported platforms, like MSVC, Mingw, GCC,
Clang, and many more. It allows for a single way of doing things,
so no longer we need shell scripts and vbs scripts to work on all
our supported platforms.
Additionally, CMake allows to generate project files for like MSVC,
KDevelop, etc.
This heavily reduces the lines of code we need to support multiple
platforms from a project perspective.
Addtiionally, this heavily improves our detection of libraries, etc.
For grfs, it now uses CMake scripts to do its job, and both grf
files are split into their own folder to make more clear what is
going on. Additionally, it no longer builds in-source (although the
resulting grf is copied back in the source folder).
For ob[msg] it now uses CMake scripts to generate the translation
files; the result is no longer stored in-source (but in the build
folder).
Although all files are available to create the GRFs and basesets, it
won't really work till CMake is introduced (which will happen in a
few commits from here)
The tst_stationlist savegame had to be changed to start the correct
AI. In the old setup, all regression AIs had the same name, which
made it impossible to run both regressions in parallel. With the new
setup this is possible.
Although all files are available to run the regression, it won't
really work till CMake is introduced (which will happen in a few
commits from here)
Initialization code for GRFFile::roadtype_map was copied from
railtype_map. But while RailType is a byte-sized enum and could thus
be initialized via memset, RoadType doesn't have a defined size.
Previously the internal content list was invalidated and sorted for
every new item added. Now the sorting is delayed until the GUI is
drawn, which means we only sort once per GUI tick.
Since the amount of incoming items per GUI tick is not controlled by
the GUI but rather by network speed, we were previously doing a lot
of duplicate work per tick, causing the mouse cursor to lag while
the list was initialized.
Allow more direct player-initiated interaction for Game Scripts, by letting the GS put push-buttons on storybook pages. These buttons can either trigger an immediate event, or require the player to first select a tile on the map, or a vehicle.
Additionally this reworks how the storybook pages are layouted and rendered, to allow for slightly more complex layouts, and maybe speeding drawing up a bit.
