The commits following this will use this new functionality.
Currently, a few places do this manually. This has as drawback that
the Save() and Load() code need to be in sync, and that any change
can result in (old) savegames no longer loading. In general, it is
annoying code to maintain.
By putting everything in a description table, and use that for
both Save() and Load(), it becomes easier to see what is going on,
and hopefully less likely for people to make mistakes.
Prepare the full description and send it to SlObject. This does
require some code to be able to read to a SLE_VAR_NULL, like strings
etc, as there is no way to know their length beforehand.
It was rather confusing which one was for what, especially as some
SaveLoad flags were settings-only. Clean up this mess a bit by
having only Setting flags.
It is a lovely organicly grown enum, where it started off with
GUI-only flags, and after that a few flags got added that can be
considered GUI-only (the GUI disables/enables based on them), to
only have flags added that has nothing to do with the GUI.
So be less confusing, and rename them to what they do.
Additionally, I took this opportunity to rename 0ISDISABLED to
reflect what it really does.
Basically, this changes "SaveLoad *" to either:
1) "SaveLoadTable" if a list of SaveLoads was meant
2) "SaveLoad &" if a single entry was meant
As added bonus, this removes SL_END / SLE_END / SLEG_END. This
also adds core/span.hpp, a "std::span"-lite.
This is mostly done as there are now constraints on settings.ini you might not
expected. For example, conditional settings always have to come last, as otherwise
they would influence the index.
Split the updating in a "static" version that only needs to be called when a new map is loaded or some settings are changed, and a "dynamic" version that updates everything that changes regularly such as the current game date or the number of spectators.
Setting the snow coverage (in % of the map) makes a lot more sense
to the human, while still allowing the niche player to set (by
finding the correct %) a snow line height they like. This makes for
easier defaults, as it decoupled terrain height from amount of snow.
Maps can never be 100% snow, as we do not have sprites for coastal
tiles.
Internally, this calculates the best snow line height to approach
this coverage as close as possible.
Formally it was only done on exit. This means that if it crashes
changes in settings were not stored. This is often rather
frustrating. Additionally, targets (like emscripten) where people
are unlike to use "Exit Game", will never see their configuration
stored.
The drawback is that on every setting change there is some minor
I/O of writing the ini file to disk again.
Building with FreeType is still possible and will take precedence over the GDI renderer, but
the project files don't include FreeType anymore by default. Combining GDI rendering with ICU
text layout is untested.
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.
* Change: Replace checkbox in livery selection window with Default option in drop down selection.
This reduces clutter in the UI and allows for primary/secondary colours to independently follow the default scheme if desired.
* Feature: Add vehicle group liveries.
