Checking the real sector leaks information, which can be abused to
test whether an arbitrary sector is unfriendly or an inefficient
harbor or bridge, at the cost of some ship mobility (I think).
Initially broken ca. 1993, went through several changes, but the leak
survived them all.
snxtsct_area(). Callers march() and navi() clearly don't want it to
use conditionals. navi() used to zap them (just removed). march()
doesn't, which was a bug similar to #785447. It's less clear for
caller map(). I'd argue that conditionals apply to map's argument,
the unit number, not to the map itself. draw_map() zaps them anyway.
ability to switch off demand updates by setting update_wantmin to
zero. Setting update_demandpolicy to UDDEM_DISABLE does the job.
(update_policy_check): Fix lower bound for blitz_time.
provided the values all match:
(caseen): New.
(xundump): Initialize and finalize it.
(xundump2): Update it.
(deffld): Deal with repetition.
(fldval_must_match): New, considers repetition as well as NSC_CONST.
(setnum, setstr): Use it.
(subst.in): Substitute it. Fix prerequisites.
(read_builtin_tables): New.
(main): Call it. This doesn't do anything, because no builtin tables
have been defined.
(config_tables): New econfig key.
(read_config_tables): New, implements config_tables.
(main): Call it. Need to call ef_init() and chdir(configdir) first.
(ef_init_srv): Don't call ef_init(), since main() did it already.
Remove old way to do the same:
(ef_load): Remove, along with calls.
(empfile): Set configuration tables' member file back to NULL.
(ellipsis): New.
(xuheader1): Initialize it. Compute nflds. Allow repetition of index
field in continued tables.
(xundump): Don't set nflds.
(xufldname, defellipsis): Accept ... and call new defellipsis().
(xufldname, chkflds): Update and elaborate check for missing fields,
move it to new chkflds(). Require repetition of index field in
continued tables.
(xundump2): New, factored out of xundump(). Parse continued tables.
(xundump1, setnum, setstr, getobj, cur_id): Delay table lookup until
first field is about to be assigned.
(xundump1): Record largest ID, because it's no longer given by final
value of row.
(xuheader1, xundump1, xundump): Move initialization of cur_type to
xundump().
selectors. That's wrong for EF_SECTOR_CHR and EF_PRODUCT. Don't
allow table shrinking just because it has no NSC_CONST selectors.
That's wrong for EF_NEWS_CHR. Allow it for game state and unit
characteristics.
(has_const): Unused, remove.
still be in order), support abbreviated field names:
(nxt_sel, nxt_idx, nxtfld, ca4fld): Remove.
(nflds, fldca, fldidx, caflds, getfld): New.
(xundump): Initialize and finalize them.
(xundump1): New, factored out of xundump().
(deffld): Match names, record field order in fldca[], fldidx[] for
getfld(). Use caflds[] to detect duplicates.
(xufldname): Catch negative index. Used to pass it to deffld(), which
now interprets it as no index.
(setnum, setstr, setsym, mtsymset, add2symset): Use getfld().
(xufld): Improve error message.
(setstr): Fix for NULL strings.
(xuheader): Catch null ef_cadef().
(xuheader): Don't oops when an unexpected table can't be undumped.
