Progress bars are drawn differently depending on when it was added, with
different layouts and sizes.
This change adds a standard padding size to use, and makes all progress
bars visually similar, with scaled padding.
Hover highlight was visible even if the mouse pointer was in a different
window, and the window refreshed itself every frame if the mouse pointer
was not over its matrix widget.
Resolved by using OnMouseOver() instead of OnMouseLoop(), and only
redrawing if the hover position has changed.
This gives user visual feedback that the refresh is still pending, and
prevents people from clicking again and again thinking nothing is
happening. This is especially true for connections that fall back to
TURN, as that takes a few seconds to kick in.
Additionally, prevent clicking on the button again while a refresh
is pending. This is only delaying a successful result.
When you are query several servers at once, it is rather unclear
for which server you got a popup. Instead, show any errors on the
server itself.
This is only true for the query-part. Joining a server still gives
an error popup to tell you about any issue.
Nobody really paid attention to the lobby window, and it completely
missed its purpose. Most people don't even wait for companies to
show up, but just hit "New Company".
This in turn means people create a lot of unneeded companies, while
they "just want to watch the game" or join another company.
Instead, "Join Game" now just joins the game as spectators.
Soon we will make "join game" join the game as spectator first,
so limiting the amount of spectators makes no sense anymore in
that context. Not sure it ever did make sense.
TURN is a last resort, used only if all other methods failed.
TURN is a relay approach to connect client and server together, where
openttd.org (by default) is the middleman.
It is very unlikely either the client or server cannot connect to
the STUN server, as they are both already connected to the Game
Coordinator. But in the odd case it does fail, estabilishing the
connection fails without any further possibility to recover.
In this mode you do register to the Game Coordinator, but your
server will not show up in the public server listing. You can give
your friends the invite code of the server with which they can
join.
This removes the need to know a server IP to join it. Invite codes
are small (~7 characters) indentifiers for servers, which can be
exchanged with other players to join the servers.
Rename the zero-parameter NetworkValidateClientName to NetworkValidateOurClientName to make it clearer it is performed on our client name, and to make it a non-overloaded function to aid with the variant being added a few commits later
