The original idea was that people could find a server they could
talk in their native language on. This isn't really used in that
way. There are several reasons for removing this:
- the client also sends his "language" to the server, but nothing
is doing anything with this.
- flags are a bad way to represent languages, and over the years
we had several (rightfully) complaints about this.
- most servers have their language set to "All", and prefix the
servername with the language it is about. This is a much more
efficient way to do the same.
All in all, this feature should go back to the drawing board.
Maybe it could work in another form, but this form is not it.
The idea back in the days was nice, but it never resulted in
anything useful. Most servers either read "(loaded game)" or
"Random Map", neither being useful. It was meant for heightmaps,
so you could find a server that was using a specific one .. but
there are many things wrong with that idea. Mostly, servers tend
to save and load savegames from time to time, after which the
original heightmap used was lost.
All in all, removing map_name all together is just better.
The server information panel was scaled by GUI scale, which could result in a panel that is longer than the server list. This height difference is then maintained when the window is resized to fill the screen.
Instead, specify the minimum size by number of text lines and (summed total) padding.
In other words, it should only (!) return true if A comes for B.
This promise was broken for the situation where two values are
identical. It would return true in these cases too. This is of
course not possible: if two values are identical, neither come
before the other. As such, the sorter was not imposing strict
weak ordering relations.
libstdc++ handled this scenario just fine, but libc++ crashes
badly on this, as it allowed comparing of [begin, end] instead
of [begin, end).
libc++ considered this not a bug (and by specs, they are correct;
just this way of crashing is of course a bit harsh):

If a server is compatible, it falls back to sorting by clients.
This used to be in reverse, so full servers are on top. With
the codechange commit, this was removed by accident, and as
such empty servers were on top. This is silly.
This is a much better location for this button, as you send
money from one company to another company, not from player
to player.
This is based on work done by JGRPP in:
f820543391
and surrounding commits, which took the work from estys:
https://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=1183311#p1183311
We did modify it to fix several bugs and clean up the code while
here anyway.
The callback was removed, as it meant a modified client could
prevent anyone from seeing money was transfered. The message
is now generated in the command itself, making that impossible.
Emscripten compiles to WASM, which can be loaded via
HTML / JavaScript. This allows you to play OpenTTD inside a
browser.

Remove static buffer form of NetworkAddress::GetAddressAsString.
This is used in multiple threads concurrently, and is not thread-safe.
Replace it with a form returning std::string.
This commit adds the missing feature of allowing the server owner to
provide a reason for kicking/banning a client, which the client sees in
a pop-up window after being kicked. The implementation extends the
network protocol by adding a new network action called
NETWORK_ACTION_KICKED that is capable of having an error string, unlike
the other network error packages. Additionally, the kick function
broadcasts a message to all clients about the kicked client and the
reason for the kick.
This is a C++11 feature that allows the compiler to check that a virtual
member declaration overrides a base-class member with the same signature.
Also src/blitter/32bpp_anim_sse4.hpp +38 is no longer erroneously marked
as virtual despite being a template.
This switch has been a pain for years. Often disabling broke
compilation, as no developer compiles OpenTTD without, neither do
any of our official binaries.
Additionaly, it has grown so hugely in our codebase, that it
clearly shows that the current solution was a poor one. 350+
instances of "#ifdef ENABLE_NETWORK" were in the code, of which
only ~30 in the networking code itself. The rest were all around
the code to do the right thing, from GUI to NewGRF.
A more proper solution would be to stub all the functions, and
make sure the rest of the code can simply assume network is
available. This was also partially done, and most variables were
correct if networking was disabled. Despite that, often the #ifdefs
were still used.
With the recent removal of DOS, there is also no platform anymore
which we support where networking isn't working out-of-the-box.
All in all, it is time to remove the ENABLE_NETWORK switch. No
replacement is planned, but if you feel we really need this option,
we welcome any Pull Request which implements this in a way that
doesn't crawl through the code like this diff shows we used to.
