- Fix: desync caused by buffer overflow (r9027)
- Feature: kick inactive initial network connections after some time (r9038, r9061)
- Fix: take over companies properly in multiplayer games (r9071)
-Feature: show NewGRF compatability of network games in the Game List window; a green square if you got the same OpenTTD version and have the needed NewGRF, a red square if the version does not match and a yellow square if the version matches, but the client is missing at least one of the NewGRFs.
to _COMPANY as that is whom you are really addressing to. Also change some variable
names, 'desttype' is confusing if there is also a parameter 'dest', so rename it to
just type.
sends a message to all players, CTRL+ENTER (CTRL+T) sends a message to all
team mates and ENTER (T) sends a message to teammates if you have any, otherwise
to all players.
The chat-window now also shows what kind of message is being sent. Shortcut
functionality has not been changed (ENTER sends message, ESC closes window)
The game date subsystem now allows someone to start in the year 0 and continue
up to the year 5 000 000. However, you currently cannot build anything before
1920 as there is no newgrf support for dates before 1920 or after 2090 yet.
- Remove the temporary synchronisation in during the map-transfer as this is no longer needed
- The saved patches work just like the saved gameoptions. You have a _patches and a _patches_newgame struct. The _patches_newgame struct contains the values from the configuration file and thus the defaults for new games. When a new game is started or an older game is loaded, the default values are copied over to _patches to be used. When you load a game that has PATS saved, the default values are also loaded, but immediately overwritten by the values from the savegame. This ensures that player-based values are always taken from your personal preferences.
- The current implementation also changes the default values if you change player-based settings in the game. For example changing window_snap_radius in a certain game will also change it for all next OpenTTD sessions.
- The savegame version has been increased to 22.
- The last 6 orso patches close the following reports:
[ 1366446 ] different names for patches: all patch settings have the same name as in the configuration file and are reachable from the console.
[ 1288024 ] Strange string on OTTD initial screen: configuration (and this includes patches) inputs are validated and clamped to their minimum/maximum values.
[ 1423198 ] Make "Signals on Drive side" player, not server, based: this is only visual so current setting is to save it with the savegame but not synchronise in multiplayer.
[ 1208070 ] Patches and New GRF options saved: apart from newgrf this is done
'set rcon_pw <password>'
Which enables rcon. A client can now do:
'rcon <password> "<command>"'
The command will be executed on the server. (guru3)
-Fix: 'kick 1' did crash dedicated servers
-Fix: server password is now correctly saved
!!Warning!!: do not give your rcon password to people you do not thrust!
