The correct method to compute indexes into a map buffer for a struct
range is deltx(), delty().
path() used deltax(), deltay() instead, which yield correct results
only for indexes up to half the world size. Pathes spanning larger
areas were screwed up.
sona(), radmap2(), satmap() also used deltax(), deltay(), but only
with arguments where those yield correct results.
draw_map() used xnorm(), ynorm() instead, which is correct, but less
clear and less efficient.
The old code used getstarg() to get an argument with a different
prompt than snxtitem() uses, then passed the value to snxtitem()
unchecked. If the player aborts, getstarg() returns a null pointer,
and snxtitem() prompts again. Affected:
* load/lload plane/land third argument; load_plane_ship(),
load_land_ship(), load_plane_land(), load_land_land()
* bomb, drop, fly, paradrop, recon and sweep second argument;
get_planes()
* tend and ltend second and fourth argument; ltend(), tend(),
tend_land()
* mission second argument; mission()
Fix by making snxtitem() taking a prompt argument, null pointer
requests the old prompt.
Use that to simplify multifire() and torp(). Change the other callers
to pass NULL.
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.
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.
satdisp_sect() and satdisp_units().
(satmap): Call only satdisp_sect(). No functional change.
(aircombat): Call both, and call satdisp_units() even over sea. This
lets spy planes spot surface ships at sea. Closes#906035.
(map_char): New.
(draw_map): Use it. Wilderness and plains owned by other players are
now displayed as '?'.
(radmap2): Display wilderness and plains as '?'.
(satmap): Call satdisp() for all sectors owned by other players.
effect. Replace calls by struct assignment where possible. Replace
clear buffer, copy string to buffer by strncpy(). Use assignment to
clear when that's clearer. Replace overlapping copy through bounce
buffer by memmove(). Replace rest by standard memset() and memcpy().
Also use sizeof() instead of literal array sizes for robustness, and
instead of symbolic array sizes for clarity.
