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.
dualcore can be faster then you want, and therefor create 2 threads, while
you made the bool to make sure there is never more then 1 thread of this type.
- New optional landscape generator (TerraGenesis Perlin)
- Load heightmaps (either BMP or PNG)
- Progress dialog while generating worlds (no longer a 'hanging' screen)
- New dialogs for NewGame, Create Scenario and Play Heightmap
- Easier to configure your landscape
- More things to configure (tree-placer, ..)
- Speedup of world generation
- New console command 'restart': restart the map EXACTLY as it was when you
first started it (needs a game made after or with this commit)
- New console command 'getseed': get the seed of your map and share it with
others (of course only works with generated maps)
- Many new, world generation related, things
- Many internal cleanups and rewrites
Many tnx to those people who helped making this:
Belugas, DaleStan, glx, KUDr, RichK67, Rubidium, and TrueLight (alfabetic)
Many tnx to those who helped testing:
Arnau, Bjarni, and tokai (alfabetic)
And to all other people who helped testing and sending comments / bugs
Stats: 673 lines changed, 3534 new lines, 79 new strings
-Cleanup: fix whitespace related coding style issues in date.[ch]
-Cleanup: make original comments doxygen compatible and remove/change outdated comments
Simplification of the handling of the main_gui menus,
Removal of repetitions and Hiding the internals of screenshots.
Thanks to glx, Rubidium and Truelight for pointers
-Feature: Bridges can now be placed above:
Any railway track combination (excluding depots and waypoints)
Any road combination (excluding depots)
Clear tiles (duh), including fields
Tunnel entrances
Bridge heads
Thanks to Tron for idea and implementation, KUDr for the yapf synchronization and many others for hours of testing
There are still a number of visual problems remaining, especially when electric railways are on or under the bridge.
DO NOT REPORT THOSE BUGS FOR THE TIME BEING please.
-Negative side effect: upon loading old games, stations whose last vehicle was a station have (temporarily) lower ratings.
-Positive side effect: station.h no longer includes vehicle.h (breaks the station.h->vehicle.h->rail.h chain)
1) Improved the road vehicle allocation (aka slotting) for multistop. Stops can now accept unlimited, er... 256, vehicles.
2) Removed the "wait for stop" feature, because it did not work in practise.
3) Slotting now ignores unreachable stations. Uses NPF at the moment because the old pathfinder cannot do it (yet)
4) Now matter how many vehicles approach a station, they will always be distributed evenly over existing stops.
5) Hopefully the last fundamental change to multistop
- 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
- Don't treat non-booleans as booleans
- Reduce variable scope
- Bracing
- Use DeMorgan's law to make conditionals easier to read
- if cascade -> switch
- Replace some magic numbers by symbolic names
- Avoid assignments within other statements
