The value of diffx() had the wrong sign when the arguments differed by
WORLD_X / 2. Same for diffy() and WORLD_Y / 2. satmap() used them to
find the vector from map center to ship or land unit to put on the
map, and got incorrect values for ships and land units directly
opposite to the center in x or y. The bug made satmap() read a
pointer out bounds of its malloced radbuf[], and then write through
that with unpredictable consequences.
Broken in 4.2.12. The original bug was in Empire 1.1: it
miscalculated where to put ships on the map (no crash). An incomplete
fix for radmap() and satmap() appeared in Chainsaw 2 (still no crash).
radmap() got fixed correctly in Chainsaw 3, but satmap() was
forgotten. That one got "fixed" in 4.2.7, and again in 4.2.12, but
both "fixes" were flawed and could crash.
Fix by backing out the flawed fixes and adopting the fix from radmap()
instead.
Broken in commit 5f764285 (v4.3.12) for negative multiples of WORLD_X
and WORLD_Y, respectively.
This could theoretically lead to buffer overruns and other
unpleasantness. None have been reproduced, though.
Commit da8a1dae (v4.3.12) introduced virtual selectors, but neglected
to update xundump. Xundump can't work for them, because they don't
provide a setter method.
This didn't actually break anything, because all virtual selectors
have flag NSC_EXTRA set, or are in table EF_VERSION, which xundump
refuses to touch.
Make deffld() oops on virtual selector, just to be safe.
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().
pin_bomb() computed the number of foreign subs as number of ships less
number of foreign surface ships. This counted own surface ships as
subs.
Change it to count foreign subs directly. Closes#906040.
However, shipsatxy(), the function for counting foreign ships, also
lists them. Add a parameter to suppress that, and change its callers.
Make caploss() transfer money, loans and market lots to the player
only if he actually took the capital, not if he obliterated it to
deity.
To make this work, caploss() needs to be called after the sector is
updated for damage and change of ownership. Change callers
accordingly.
Closes#914049.
Fix caploss() to transfer only signed loans. Before, it transferred
any loan with a non-zero duration, which included loan offers, and
could claim to tranfer nonexistent loans.
Fix caploss() not to claim transfer of nonexistant market lots when
country 0 sacks a capital.
Don't call bsanct() when desi() is redesignating a sanctuary. It's
pointless, because only deities can redesignate sanctuaries, and
bsanct() does nothing for them.
multifire() clobbered any changes to the target ship or sector made by
defend(). This let the target fire back for free.
multifire() retreated the target ship before reporting its location to
the player. This disclosed its new location.
Fix by damaging and retreating the target after calling defend().
multifire() drops depth charges if the target is a submarine, else it
fires guns. It fails if the target is out of range. But players
could still find out whether the target is a sub then, because depth
charge shell use differs from gun fire shell use. This loophole
existed before 4.0.6, and was reopened by commit a3ad623b (v4.3.12).
Change multifire() to always use guns if the target is out of range.
While there, treat failure from shp_dchrg() and shp_fire() the same,
so that the player can't distinguish the two cases. Failure there
should not happen.
Commit a3ad623b (v4.3.12) made depth charging fail when there's just
one shell. This let players find all submarine uids. It basically
reopened the loophole closed in commit aa26c53e (v4.2.20).
Fix by making shp_dchrg() with just one shell succeed and return
damage like fire from one gun.
multifire() failed to take into account that the firing firing sector,
ship or land unit can change while it is getting the target argument.
It thus clobbered any updates made to the firing object while it was
sleeping for the target argument. Abusable. Broken when Chainsaw
introduced MULTIFIRE.
The latter is necessary to interpret the journal correctly. The
former isn't, as it should always lead to a logout straight away, but
treating it just the same is simple and doesn't hurt.
Behavior differs for the following scenario: if, while the thread
sleeps in io_input() called from recvclient(), at least one line of
input arrives and the thread gets awakened by the update aborting
commands, then the old code throws away the first line of input, but
the new code doesn't.
Commit 7ca4f412 fixed tracking of planes flying a sortie by marking
them with flag PLN_LAUNCHED. It failed to write SAMs and planes
flying missions back to the plane file, in sam_intercept() and
mission_pln_arm(). The only known problem with that is fairly
harmless: when the mission damages planes on the ground, the planes
flying it get damaged as if they were still sitting in their bases,
but the damage gets wiped out when they land.
The same issue applies to missiles. So they need to be tracked as
well. Do that in msl_hit().
While there, remove a few redundant PLN_LAUNCHED sanity checks.
When fixing planes stuck in the air, we fixed them only in memory, so
when a fixed plane wasn't written to disk for other reasons before the
next game start, it had to be fixed again.
Change pln_zap_transient_flags() to write them out.
This reverts commit fee8ac9d8f.
These *are* called while player->aborted. Could be avoided, but: the
reason for not wanting to prompt then is to have each prompt consume a
line of input. That's actually not feasible, because when we wait for
an argument (after prompting for it) when the update aborts commands,
we can't consume the argument we prompted for.
Checking l_ammo before lnd_dam() oopses when something attempts to
fire from a land unit type that can't fire (l_dam == 0) and uses no
ammo. Such usage is perfectly fine. Move the check to the correct
place.
Change oops() to call the new oops_handler function pointer instead of
offering a fixed set of actions. Change server's main() to install a
handler for the action requested by -E.
Three options: abort, crash-dump, nothing. crash-dump works by
aborting a fork. It isn't implemented for Windows.
The oops action is no longer tied to daemon mode, but -d still implies
-E abort for convenience.
