(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.
(sect_ca, ship_ca, land_ca, plague_stages, empfile):
Add plague stages symbol table.
(treaty_ca, loan_ca, agreement_statuses, empfile):
Add agreement status symbol table.
Combine treatystatuses (TS_FREE, TS_SIGNED and TS_PENDING)
and loan statuses (LS_FREE, LS_SIGNED and LS_PENDING)
into a single agreement status.
(pchr_ca, level, empfile): Add packing symbol table.
(retreat_flags, ship_ca, land_ca, plane_ca): Add retreat flags table.
(nation_flags, nation_relations, nat_ca): Add nation flags and
nation relations tables.
(empfile_ca): Remove flags and file name fields.
They are internal and not needed by the client.
Useless, remove. Users changed to check mchr's sentinel, because
that's clearer than comparing the index to N_MAXSHIPS or sizeof(mchr)
/ sizeof(*mchr).
(mchr): Change sentinel's m_name to NULL.
Useless, remove. Users changed to check plchr's sentinel, because
that's clearer than comparing the index to N_MAXPLANE or sizeof(plchr)
/ sizeof(*plchr).
(plchr): Change sentinel's pl_name to NULL.
Useless, remove. Users changed to check lchr's sentinel, because
that's clearer than comparing the index to N_MAXLAND or sizeof(lchr) /
sizeof(*lchr).
(lchr): Change sentinel's l_name to NULL.
Useless, remove. Users changed to check nchr's sentinel, because
that's clearer than comparing the index to N_MAXNUKE or sizeof(nchr) /
sizeof(*nchr).
(nchr): Change sentinel's n_name to NULL.
Useless, remove. Users changed to check pchr's sentinel, because
that's clearer than comparing the index to P_MDUST or sizeof(pchr) /
sizeof(*pchr).
(pchr): Change sentinel's p_name and p_sname to NULL. Sentinel
checks changed.
(meta_flags): Update for it.
(ship_ca, mchr_ca, plane_ca, plchr_ca, land_ca, lchr_ca, nchr_ca)
treaty_ca, nat_ca, empfile_ca, mdchr_ca): Use it.
(symbol_ca): Move value selector to beginning of array.
(meta_flags): Downcase names.
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.
members.
(empfile): Reorder members for clearer documentation.
(EFF_IMMUTABLE): New.
(EFF_OPEN): Remove, use ~EFF_IMMUTABLE.
(empfile): Don't initialize member size to a useless value for EF_MAP
and EF_BMAP. ef_init() writes the real value.
(empfile): Correctly initialize members cids, csize, fids for all
EFF_STATIC tables except EF_SHIP_CHR, EF_PLANE_CHR, EF_LAND_CHR,
EF_NUKE_CHR, EF_META and the symbol tables.
of laziness. The assumption is true on any sane machine, due to
alignment constraints. But the function doesn't provide enough value
to make me fix or document this. Remove it.
(lookup): Replace it.
(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.
Problems with the old code:
* Insufficient error checking.
* It used TIOCNOTTY (obsolete BSDism) to get rid of the controlling
tty, except for hpux || Rel4, where it attempted to use the POSIX
way, but screwed up.
* It left file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in a somewhat weird state.
(really open flags, not mode) by new flags EFF_RDONLY, EFF_CREATE.
Open flags were needlessly general. Callers changed.
(empfile): Member mode now unused, remove.
