It showed unit coordinates in unit's coordinate system instead of the
actor's. Fortunately, they're the same, since it is reachable only
for non-zero actor, only shp_nav_one_sector(), lnd_mar_one_sector()
and sail_nav_fleet() pass that, and even deities can't navigate
foreign ships or march foreign land units.

Store them and ef_type in bit-fields.
Allocate eight bits for ef_type. Values range from 0 to EF_GAME
(currently 16), so this is plenty.
Allocate twelve bits for sequence numbers. Sequence number mismatches
are now missed when the numbers are equal modulo 2^12. Still
sufficiently improbable.
Common machines store the bit-fields in a 32 bit word. There are
twelve bits left in that word for future use. Total savings 16 bits,
which is exactly what the previous commit spent on wider uids on
common machines.
Land unit reactions are overly complex because we have two different
concepts controlling them: reaction radius (set with lrange) and
reserve mission (set with mission). You need to deal with both to set
up or query reactions.
Commit 8d0e1af5 "fixed" this by making reserve missions meaningless.
The previous commit made reserve missions meaningful again: they
support an op-area now. This brought back the problem of having to
deal with two separate commands to accomplish one thing.
Fix this for good by removing non-mission land unit reaction
alltogether. The only feature we lose by that is the ability to order
land units to react until the order is explicitely cancelled. That's
because missions are implicitely cleared by many commands and events,
while non-mission reaction wasn't. Closes#858121 and #858122.
Remove the non-mission reaction case from att_reacting_units().
Don't limit reserve missions to the land unit's reaction radius: make
lnd_reaction_range() return the type's maximum radius instead of
lnd_rad_max.
The reaction radius is now useless. Remove the lrange command, and
struct lndstr member lnd_rad_max along with its selector react.
Remove land command's column rd. Make ldump show column react as
zero. Deprecate edit key 'P' in dounit(), and don't show it in
pr_land().
Put the unit before recursing into its cargo. This breaks cycles in
the "is loaded on" relations. Such cycles exist only in a corrupt
game state. Mildly inefficient, because callers typically put the
unit again.
Use new unit_wipe_orders() for violent takeover (takeover_unit() on
behalf of assault, attack, board, lboard, paradrop and pboard), and
peaceful takeover (unit_give_away() on behalf of arm, disarm, load,
unload, lload, lunload, scrap, scuttle, tend, trade).
Before, takeover_unit() cleared only group, mission and ship retreat
orders, and unit_give_away() only group and mission. Orders that
weren't cleared:
* Mission op area (visible in xdump)
* Ship autonav orders
* Ship sail path including ship to follow and mobility quota
* Plane range limit
* Land unit retreat orders and retreat percentage
When giving away cargo by scrapping or scuttling its carrier, the
cargo's cargo wasn't given away. Happened for instance when a ship
carrying a land unit carrying a SAM got scrapped.
Also, wing, army and mission weren't cleared.
To fix, create unit_give_away() and use it in unit_drop_cargo().
Factor unit_drop_cargo() out of scra(), scuttle_ship(),
scuttle_land(), fix it up:
* Some messages were sent as bulletins instead of printing them.
* Nukes were always destroyed. They're now treated exactly like other
cargo.
* scuttle destroyed some cargo silently, and listed other cargo as
"scuttled". It now simply lets unit_update_cargo() running from
carrier prewrite callbacks list all cargo "lost".
Simplify its callers. scuttle_ship() and scuttle_land() are now
trivial, inline and remove.
The old code did not move a carrier's cargo (planes, land units,
nukes) when the carrier moved. Instead, it fixed up the location in
the postread callback. Anything not going through ef_read(), in
particular the update, saw it in its old, incorrect location, until a
fixed up copy got written back.
Moreover, the timestamp did not change when cargo moved, so
incremental dumps did not pick up the movement.
The new code moves the cargo along with the carrier.
New unit_update_cargo() moves or destroys a carrier's cargo (planes,
land units, nukes) along with the carrier. Call it from
shp_prewrite(), pln_prewrite() and lnd_prewrite() when the carrier
moves or gets destroyed.
Remove the code to destroy cargo from shp_prewrite(), pln_prewrite(),
lnd_prewrite().
Remove the code to fix up cargo location from pln_postread(),
lnd_postread(), nuk_postread().
This changes the message for ship and land unit cargo getting
destroyed from "sunk" and "MIA" to "lost".
Load counters are redundant; they can be computed from the carrier
uids. Keeping them up-to-date as the carriers change is a pain, and
we never got that quite complete.
Computing load counters straight from the carrier uids every time we
need them would be rather inefficient, but computing them from cargo
lists is not. So do that.
Remove the load counters: struct shpstr members shp_nplane,
shp_nchoppers, shp_nxlight, shp_nland, and struct lndstr members
lnd_nxlight and lnd_nland.
Don't compute/update load counters in build_ship(), build_land(),
land(), ldump(), load_plane_ship(), load_land_ship(),
load_plane_land(), load_land_land(), lstat(), sdump(), shi(), sstat(),
tend_land(), check_trade(), put_combat(), pln_oneway_to_carrier_ok),
pln_newlanding(), fit_plane_on_ship(), fit_plane_on_land(),
unit_list().
Nothing left in fit_plane_off_ship(), fit_plane_off_land(), so remove
them.
load_land_ship(), load_land_land(), check_trade(), pln_newlanding(),
put_plane_on_ship(), take_plane_off_ship(), put_plane_on_land(),
take_plane_off_land() no longer change the carrier, so don't put it.
Remove functions to recompute the load counters from carrier uids:
count_units(), lnd_count_units(), count_planes(), count_land_planes(),
pln_fixup() and lnd_fixup(), along with the latter two's private
copies of fit_plane_on_ship() and fit_plane_on_land().
New cargo list functions to compute load counts: unit_cargo_count()
and unit_nplane(), with convenience wrappers shp_nplane(),
shp_nland(), lnd_nxlight(), lnd_nland().
Use them to make ship selectors nplane, nchoppers, nxlight, nland
virtual. They now reflect what is loaded, not how the load uses the
available slots. This makes a difference when x-light planes or
choppers use plane slots.
Use them to make land unit selectors nxlight and nland virtual.
Use them to get load counts in land(), ldump(), load_plane_ship(),
load_land_ship(), load_plane_land(), load_land_land(), sdump(), shi(),
tend_land(), fit_plane_on_land(), trade_desc(), unit_list().
Rewrite fit_plane_on_ship() and could_be_on_ship() to use
shp_nplane(). could_be_on_ship() now takes load count arguments, as
computed by shp_nplane(), so it can be used for checking against an
existing load as well.
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().
put_empobj() used struct empobj member uid, which is valid only for
units. Existing users pass only units, fortunately. Fix by making it
take type and uid parameters.
land_unit as well.
(do_unit_move): Add view option for land units using unit_view().
Combine ship and land viewing using the unit_view().
(shp_view): Remove, not used any more, replaced by unit_view().
