Before, the escort mission didn't support an op-area, and planes on
escort mission escorted anywhere. Change mission() to define the
op-area for escort missions as well. Show it in mission() and
show_mission(). Check it in find_escorts().
Before, they always reacted to their maximum range, and the op-area
was unused. Change mission() to define the op-area for reserve
missions as well. Remove the special-case for showing reserve
missions from mission() and show_mission(). New lnd_reaction_range()
factored out of att_reacting_units(). Use it in oprange() to cover
reserve missions. Pass the mission as separate parameter to oprange()
for now, because miss() doesn't set it in the object until later.
The mission command limits op area radius to the possible range.
That's okay, as it doesn't actually restrict possible op areas. When
the mission is executed, it was limited again. Don't do that; remove
the limiting code from build_mission_list_type() and show_mission().
The removed limiting had no effect, except when the range shrunk.
Then limiting reduced the op area more than necessary. For instance,
consider an object O with initial range 3 on a mission around M with
range 3:
- - - y - - -
- - z y - -
- - z x y - -
- O x x M -
- - z x y - -
- - z y - -
- - - y - - -
Initially, all sectors not marked - are in range and in the op area.
If the range drops to two, sectors marked O, x and z are still in
range of O. But only the x are still in range of M. The O and z got
excluded.
Range can currently shrink when plane range is reduced (range
command), or a ship, plane or land unit somehow loses tech (deity
intervention).
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.
This takes care of a number of bugs / inconsistencies:
* Ships with zero firing range could return fire and fire support, but
not fire actively or interdict. Fix by testing for gun limit
instead in multifire() and mission(). No ships in the stock game
are affected.
* Required gun crew was inconsistent: multifire() let N military fire
max(1,floor(N/2)) guns for active fire. Ditto perform_mission() for
interdiction. quiet_bigdef() let them fire N guns for returning gun
fire. Ditto sd() for firing support and firing at boarding parties.
fire_dchrg() let them fire floor(N/2) for returning fire to
torpedoes. Unify to let N military fire floor((N+1)/2) guns.
* Shell use was inconsistent: sd() and perform_mission() used one
shell per gun, everything else one per two guns. Unify to one shell
per two guns.
* Shell resupply bugs: multifire() got two shells regardless of actual
ammo use. quiet_bigdef() got one shell (but use_ammo() uses only
one, which is a bug). sd() and perform_mission() resupplied before
checking all other requirements and could thus get more shells than
actually needed.
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.
(get_empobj_chr): New. Get characteristics for empobj.
(mission, build_mission_list_type): Switch to use new

help avoid inclusion cycles. Sort include directives. Remove some
superflous includes.

Remove some superflous declarations, replace others by suitable
