This means that any user attempt to remove a rear engine will tell the user to move the front engine instead
This fixes the assert when moving multiheaded engines (introduced in r3144)
Note: to make old savegames use this feature, some engines might be turned around in order to link engines in pairs
-Codechange: train subtype is now a bitmask
This allows fast access to info like if it is a wagon or engine and if it is in front and so on
Note: savegame version bump
-Trains will now remember the length of stations it visits and sell cars
when being autoreplaced if they became too long
-If it needs to remove cars, then it starts from the front and sells
all it can find until the train is short enough
-This only works for trains, that knows the station length of the route
so a full uninterrupted run is needed
-a train needs 1-2 runs to detect if the shortest station is expanded
-This feature can be turned on and off in the train replace window
and each company can have it's own setting
-NOTE: minor savegame version bump
-This allows a player to clone an excisting vehicle of his own
-[fix]: this uncovered an excisting bug in CmdBuildRailVehicle() where depots could build trains of the wrong track type. This is fixed
-Thanks to Celestar for drawing the sprites and _luca_ for including them in openttd.grf
- Renamed the plural command to "P" instead of "PLURAL". Now write something like this to append an s on plural: {P "" s}. (You can optionally still add an argument index to explicitly specifiy which number that's used)
- Removed the pluralized cargo strings from the string files. The new method is to use the plural specifier {P}
- Added support for genders. First add "##gender der das die" on top, then use {G=der} on a cargoname/industry to set the gender, and to switch between genders do something like {G neu neu neue} {STRING}
- Updated the swedish/english translation with P strings.
- The formatting of the industry name can be controlled with the string STR_INDUSTRY_FORMAT.
Change: Changed several occurences of {STRING1} into {TOWN} to get rid of townnametype being used directly.
- Feature: [strgen] Allow changing the order of parameters in translated strings.
- Use {1:TOWN} syntax to set the order.
- Codechange: [strgen] Rewrote lots of strgen internals.
- Feature: [pbs] Implement autoplacement of pbs blocks, when a block has an entry and an exit pbs signal, covert the entire block to pbs. Can be turned off in the patch settings.
- Feature: [pbs] Allow showing of reserved status by making the tracks darker, when the pbs debug level is at least 1.
- Fix: fixed GetSavegameFormat() so that it takes the best compressor (highest), or a forced one added with the parameter
- Open issues:
1. Don't attempt to load a game while saving is in progress, it will kick you back to the intro-screen with only the vast ocean to look at.
2. The server is disabled from threaded-saving, but might be enabled in the future.
3. Current implementation only allows 1 additional running thread.
4. Stupid global variables.....grrr
Big thanks for TrueLight and the amazing memorypool :D
