bad, do not loop prompting, just fail. That's what the vast majority
of commands do.
(launch_as, launch_missile, launch_sat): Don't zap the target
argument. If the target is given as argument, launch all missiles at
that target. Previously, missiles after the first prompted for
another target.
That's what the vast majority of commands do.
(add): Do not silently truncate country number argument.
(add): Diagnostics were confusing because they lacked context.
(grow_islands, set_coastal, update_coastal_flag, coast_sea_to_land)
(coast_land_to_sea): Determine sct_coastal flag when the sector type
is set. Old method only updated the sct_coastal flag when doing
cens() or a dump(). Other uses of sct_coastal could get stale values,
including selector coastal. Rework set_coastal() into NEW functions
update_coastal_flag(), coast_sea_to_land(), coast_land_to_sea() and
set_coastal(). Fix a bug where the deity designation would not
properly set the coastal flag. Fix a bug where the one sector lake
would not properly compute coastal flag. Fix a bug that makes
fairland treat the last sector it adds to an island as non-coastal.
buil, show_bridge, show_tower, nullify_objects):
Remove NO_LCMS, NO_HCMS, and NO_OIL options, not used.
Functionality can be emulated by modifiying the characteristics files.
Counter-intuitive. Report last connection time range instead.
Unfortunately, this requires a change in output format.
(coun): Report on all countries even to mortals. This used to be
done, and was most probably changed because it gave away too much
information. Carefully limit the information given to mortals, as
follows. Limit last access information to whether deities or allies
are logged on right now, no longer report connection time for deities
that are not logged on. Remove column time for mortals, rename it to
BTU for deities. Report status, but with less detail if HIDDEN is
enabled.
undocumented feature: When a buyer didn't have enough money at the
time of the trade, the seller *automatically* granted a high-interest,
medium term loan for up to 90% of the price. This is just a silly
trap for unwary sellers and buyers alike.
(N_FIN_TROUBLE, N_CREDIT_JUNK): Unused, remove.
(rpt): Update accordingly.
(xdump, main): Use it.
(EF_MAX): Change to largest table ID + 1. This is now possible
because the changes above get rid of the assumption that
empfile[0..EF_MAX-1] is only game state. Code can now work on any
table using the advertized empfile interface, not just on game state.
(my_ef_byname): Remove, use ef_byname().
(set, mission, multifire, fuel, cons_choose, cede): Use it instead of
ef_byname(). Remove the hacks to map unwanted results to wanted
results. The hacks in set() were broken: bad input made the code cast
arbitrary items to union trdgenstr, with potentially disastrous
consequences. Closes#906483 and #906486.
(set): Less cryptic prompt and diagnostics.
silly EF_NMAP. Use characters instead: 'b' for bmap (was EF_BMAP),
't' for true bmap (was EF_MAP), 'r' for revert (was EF_MAP+EF_BMAP,
more sillness), and 'n' for nmap (was EF_NMAP). Callers changed.
(EF_NMAP): Remove.
