Changes to Empire 4.2.14 - Wed Mar 17 07:31:30 UTC 2004
* Options NEWPOWER, NEW_STARVE and NEW_WORK are no longer optional.
* Gripe about unknown options in econfig.
* Remove option GRAB_THINGS.
* Utility program files takes new option -f.
* Remove utility programs land, ore and perfect, which don't compile
since 4.2.0 (Oct '98).
* Fallout code could claim destruction of more items than actually
existed.
* Fix recursive resupply (resupply from supply land unit triggering a
resupply of the land unit) when just testing for how much can be
resupplied. The bug could have led to insufficient resupply.
* Fix recursive resupply not to consume all fuel in supply units. No
supply units consuming fuel exist in the stock game.
* Limit delivery and distribution thresholds to ITEM_MAX (9999).
Distribution threshold were previously limited to 10000, and
delivery thresholds to 65528.
* Limit items in sectors to ITEM_MAX (9999). Commands give and buy
used to limit to 9990. Market transactions and commands explore,
move, drop and fly to 32767. Limiting in autonav code (order
command) didn't work. Item delivery used to stop at 9990,
distribution at 9999. Food growing and sector production used to
stop at 9999. Grind, assault lunchboxes, demobilization, mine
sweeping and che liberating uw could theoretically attempt to
increase items beyond 65535, which would have been ignored
(destroying the increase).
* Properly saturate fallout at FALLOUT_MAX (9999). Previously,
fallout increases behaved inconsistently. Increases beyond 65535
could get ignored, or fallout could saturate at 9999, or it could
overflow at 65536 (that would take quite some nuking, though).
* Properly saturate mines at MINES_MAX (65535). Previously, a mining
operation that would have gone beyond 65535 was ignored.
* Fix `are we loading or unloading' tests for load, unload, lload and
lunload.
* Fix editing of land unit attack and defense values. Implement
editing of ship defense values. Contributed by Ron Koenderink.
* edit now edits che number and target separately.
* Fix edit to properly extend unit files. Contributed by Ron
Koenderink.
* Major internal reorganisation: Sectors need space for items,
deliveries and distribution thresholds. To save space, the
ancients invented `variables': a collection of key-value pairs,
missing means zero value, space for `enough' keys. This
complicates the code, as assigning to a `variable' can fail for
lack of space. Over time, `enough' increased, and for quite some
time now `variables' have been *wasting* space. Replace them,
except in unit characteristics, where they are read-only, and will
be replaced later. This also removes misfeatures like plague
outbreaks silently deleting deliveries.
* Remove disabled commands dissolve and mult. Remove configuration
parameters minmult and maxmult.
* Trade command indexed an array out of bounds when attempting to
display the plague as commodity. Fix.
* New make goal interix. Contributed by Ron Koenderink.
* The type selector now prefers an exact match to a partial match.
?type=sb now selects sb, not sbc, even when sbc happens to be found
first.
* Value of selector sell was always zero, remove it.
* Clean up selector code.
* satellite now displays all sectors owned by other players, and none
else. It used to display all but sea, mountains, sanctuaries,
wasteland and wilderness.
* map commands now display wilderness and plains owned by other
players as '?'. Radar commands now display all wilderness and
plains as '?'.
* Fix power timestamp for Windows. Contributed by Ron Koenderink.
* Do the right thing for Windows so ^C aborts to the current command,
as it should. Contributed by Ron Koenderink.
* Command line parser interpreted trailing whitespace as an another
(empty) argument. Ignore it instead.
* Properly declare stuff in headers, include proper system headers.
Remove all nested external declarations. Source code is now fully
prototyped. Enable appropriate gcc warnings.
* Fix several type errors. Some may have been show-stoppers on big
endian machines where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int).
* Remove pre-ISO C compatibility cruft (hey, it's been only fifteen
years).
* Various portability fixes. Some bugs may have been show-stoppers
when sizeof(long) != sizeof(int). With help from Marc Olzheim and
Ron Koenderink.
* Move some code to more logical places. Remove some unused code,
some of which was hard to port.
* The files program could print error messages to a log file in some
circumstances. Make it print to stderr.
* deliver can now change direction without changing the threshold.
* deliver now provides appropriate context when prompting for
thresholds.
* Login command play no longer ignores up to two arguments if there
isn't a third one.
* Fix payoff (was broken in 4.2.13).
* Capability fish didn't work together with capability oil.
* Fix and clarify plague outbreak chance in info Plague.
* Fix info telegram and info announce on ~ escapes.
* Various small info file fixes.
* Many fixes in the troff macro package for info files.
* Many fixes for translating info files to HTML.
* Many info file markup fixes.
Changes to Empire 4.2.13 - Fri Feb 13 22:12:36 UTC 2004
* Source code reindented and cleaned up somewhat.
* Various info file fixes.
* Various small info file fixes.
* Fixed change requiring 254 BTUs even when not charging any
(BLITZ).
* Fixed tactical non-marine missile crash.
* Fixed spy unit detection chance for eff<100.
* Fixed output of sorder.
* edit can now work non-interactively.
* `edit' can now work non-interactively. Contributed by Ron
