The abstract idea of tying ships and land units to a logistical tether
is sound, the concrete implementation as option FUEL is flawed. It
adds too much busy-work to the game to be enjoyable. It hasn't been
enabled in a public game for years. The code implementing it is ugly,
repetitive, and a burden to maintain.
Remove selector fuel from ship_ca[] and land_ca[], and selectors
fuelc, fuelu from mchr_ca[] and lchr_ca[]. Remove fields fuelc, fuelu
from ship.config and land.config.
Remove command fuel from player_coms[].
Deprecate edit key 'B' in doship(), dounit(), and don't show it in
pr_ship(), pr_land().
Drop opt_FUEL code from build_ship(), shi(), sdump(), ship_damage(),
show_ship_stats(), do_mob_ship(), nav_ship(), build_land(), land(),
ldump(), land_damage(), show_land_stats(), do_mob_land(),
resupply_all(), resupply_commod(), get_minimum(), has_supply(),
unit_list(), vers().
Remove opt_FUEL, fuel_mult, struct shpstr member shp_fuel, struct
mchrstr members m_fuelc and m_fuelu, M_OILER, struct lndstr member
lnd_fuel, struct lchrstr members l_fuelc and l_fuelu, fuel(), and
auto_fuel_ship().
struct lndstr members lnd_spy, lnd_rad, lnd_ammo, lnd_fuelc,
lnd_fuelu, lnd_maxlight, lnd_maxlight are mere copies of struct
lchrstr members l_spy, l_rad, l_ammo, l_fuelc, l_fuelu, l_nxlight,
l_nland. Remove them.
Make land unit selectors spy, rmax, ammo, fuelc, fuelu, maxlight
virtual.
(update_run): Set it.
Replace incorrect uses of update_pending by update_running, fixing
buggy behavior while the update was trying to gain control:
(sct_do_upd_mob, shp_do_upd_mob, lnd_do_upd_mob, pln_do_upd_mob):
MOB_ACCESS mobility update was skipped.
(telegram_is_new): Fix recognition of new telegrams by timestamp.
(wu): Bulletins got misfiled as production reports.
(shp_nav): Sail path got ignored.
(setrel): Declaration of war failed silently with SLOW_WAR enabled.
Messages got suppressed.
(PR, mpr): Messages got misdirected to bulletins.
(lndstr, plnstr, sctstr, shpstr): Change timestamp members lnd_access,
pln_access, sct_access, shp_access from real time (time_t) to ETUs
within a turn (short).
(land_ca, plane_ca, sect_ca, ship_ca): Update accordingly.
(build_ship, build_land, build_bridge, build_plane, build_tower)
(explore, check_trade, bsanct, takeover, takeover_ship)
(takeover_land): Use game_tick_to_now() instead of time() to update
the timestamp. Change check_trade(), takeover_ship(), takeover_land()
to do that only when MOB_ACCESS is enabled, for consistency.
(lupgr, supgr, pupgr, takeover_ship): Don't touch the timestamp where
mobility isn't touched either.
(sct_do_upd_mob, shp_do_upd_mob, lnd_do_upd_mob, pln_do_upd_mob): Use
game_tick_to_now() instead of increase_mob() to compute ETUs since
the timestamp and update the timestamp. Closes#1012699.
(increase_mob): Remove.
(mob_sect, mob_ship, mob_land, mob_plane): sct_do_upd_mob() & friends
no longer do the right thing at the update. Use game_reset_tick() and
pass its result directly to do_mob_sect() & friends. This is only
correct when argument is etu_per_update, which it always is. Remove
parameter. Callers changed.
(do_mob_sect, do_mob_ship, do_mob_land, do_mob_plane): Oops on
negative argument.
(mob_acc_globals, timestampfil, mobupdate, updating_mob)
(update_all_mob, timestamp_fixing, update_timestamps, mobility_check):
The mobupdate command was important to let deities manually
synchronize mobility updating with updates. That's no longer needed.
The code behind it is somewhat hairy and ugly, and updating it to work
with the Empire clock is just not worth it. Remove. Users changed.
(player_coms): Update accordingly.
(upda): Remove display of mobility updating state.
(mobility_init): No need to fix up mobility on startup, as the Empire
clock runs normally even when the server is down. Remove. Caller
changed.
mobility. The general case is fine.
(do_mob_ship): Move the special case for maxed out mobility into the
fuel conditional. The general non-fuel case is fine.
(do_mob_land): Likewise, but continue to call lnd_fortify() only when
needed.
other. Ensure headers in include/ can be included in any order
(except for econfig-spec.h, which is special). New header types.h to
help avoid inclusion cycles. Sort include directives. Remove some
superflous includes.

(load_it, unload_it, prod_plane, produce)
(guerrilla, upd_buildeff, spread_fallout)
(upd_ship, ship_repair, min, dmin, MIN):
Remove min() and dmin() functions and replace
with a MIN macro in misc.h. Remove local MIN
macros and use the new one in misc.h. This
change removes the need for the special
case for _WIN32.
(fuel, look_ship, multifire, mission, sona)
(plane_sona, ef_open, player_accept, player_main)
(ac_dog, att_get_combat, calc_mobcost)
(ask_move_in_off, intelligence_report)
(build_mission_list_type, perform_mission)
(show_mission, use_supply, dodistribute)
(allocate_memory, max, dmax, MAX):
Remove max() and dmax() functions and replace
with a MAX macro in misc.h. Remove local MAX
macros and use the new one in misc.h. This
change removes the need for the special
case for _WIN32.
instead of declaring them all over the place. This uncovered type
errors:
(s_p_etu, adj_update): Defined long, sometimes declared int. Kills
big endian machines where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int). Change to
int.
(set_option, delete_option, optstrset, intset, floatset, doubleset,
longset, optionset, optiondel, worldxset): Change linkage to static.
thread entrypoints:
(lwpSelect, shutdown_sequence): Parameters didn't match thread entry
point prototype.
(lwpEntryPoint): Arguments didn't match thread entry point prototype.
Change linkage of functions without prototype declaration to static
where possible.
Remove some superflous declarations, replace others by suitable
includes.
