Use a array of struct for each cargo instead of an array for each statistic.
This makes iterating for acceptance and production much simpler.
pct_transported is now calculated when needed.
On first start-up, the game will ask if you want to participate
in our automated survey. You have to opt-in, and can easily opt-out
(via the Options) at any time.
When opt-in, whenever you exit a game, a JSON blob will be send
to the survey server hosted by OpenTTD. This JSON blob contains
information that gives a global picture of the game just played:
- What settings were used
- How many humans vs AIs
- How long the game has been played
- Basic information about the OS / CPU
All this information is kept very generic, so there is no
chance we send private information to our survey server.
Nothing in the JSON blob could identify you as a person; it
mostly tells about the game played. At any time you can see
what the JSON blob includes, by pressing the "Preview Survey
Results" button in-game.
This to prevent compilation issues between runs with and without precompiled
headers. Also remove the headers from the rest of the code base as they are
not needed there anymore, although they do relatively little harm.
The per-AI "start_date" is a lot of custom code, and was rarely
used in the way it was meant.
While at it, also ported this part over to the new timer system.
Previously, on a straight line of a one corner up slope with the adjacent
steep sloop the Z would increase one step every two sub pixels, except for one
case where one sub pixel is skipped. Similarly, a steep slope with two
adjacent one corner up slopes, would have a bump in the height line along the
diagonal whenever it enters/leaves the steep slope tile.
Passengers usually prefer fast paths to short paths.
Average travel times of links are updated in real-time for use in Dijkstra's algorithm,
and newer travel times weigh more, just like capacities.
IsSavegameVersionUntil() did a [0, N] check, not [0, N) as the
name suggests.
Until can be a confusing word, where people consider it to be
including the upperbound. Dictionary states it means "before",
excluding the upperbound. There are long debates about who is right.
So, simply remove away from this ambiguity, and call it "before"
and "before or at". This makes the world easier for everyone.
We no longer need them. If you want to remove a field .. just
remove it! Because of the headers in the savegame, on loading,
it will do the right thing and skip the field.
Do remember to bump the savegame version, as otherwise older
clients can still load the game, but will reset the field you
have removed .. that might be unintentially.
We won't be able to make it fully self-descriptive (looking at you
MAP-chunks), but anything else can. With this framework, we can
add headers for each chunk explaining how each chunk looks like
in detail.
They also will all be tables, making it a lot easier to read in
external tooling, and opening the way to consider a database
(like SQLite) to use as savegame format.
Lastly, with the headers in the savegame, you can freely add
fields without needing a savegame version bump; older versions
of OpenTTD will simply ignore the new field. This also means
we can remove all the SLE_CONDNULL, as they are irrelevant.
The next few commits will start using this framework.
This makes it easier to spot chunks that have a save_proc that
is a nullptr, but also prevents confusion, where it looks like
the CH_ type of a chunk has influence on how it is being read.
It is not, it is only used for saving.
This adds two byte extra to those chunks, and might feel a bit
silly at first. But in later changes we will prefix CH_ARRAY with
a table header, and then this change shines.
Without this, we could still add headers to these chunks, but any
external reader wouldn't know if the CH_RIFF has them or not. This
way is much more practical, as they are now more like any other
chunk.
This means that during loading we can validate that what is saved
is also that what is expected. Additionally, this makes all list
types similar to how they are stored on disk:
First a gamma to indicate length, followed by the data.
The size still depends on the type.
Using SL_ARR for this gives us a bit of trouble later on, where we
add a length-field to SL_ARR. This of course is not the intention
of SLE_CONDNULL. So better seperate it.
This wasn't consistently done, and often variables were used that
were read by an earlier blob. By moving it next to the struct
itself, the code becomes a bit more self-contained and easier to
read.
Additionally, this allows for external tooling to know how many
structs to expect, instead of having to know where to find the
length-field or a hard-coded value that can change at any moment.
