With RAILWAYS, highway-like sectors double as rail. They need to be
at least 5% efficient to be operational, and then they additionally
extend rail into adjacent sectors that are at least 60% efficient.
New opt_RAILWAYS, SCT_HAS_RAIL(), sct_rail_track(). Update
sector_mcost(), bp_neighbors(), lnd_mar_one_sector() for RAILWAYS
mobility rules. Update sinfra(), spyline(), satdisp_sect() to show
rail track instead of rail infrastructure for RAILWAYS.
New virtual sector selector track, implemented by nsc_sct_track().
A sector type's terrain (struct dchrstr member d_terrain) is the
sector type of its underlying terrain. Sector types occuring in
d_terrain are terrain types, and must have their own type in
d_terrain. Players can change sector types only to those with the
same terrain.
The builtin configuration defines terrain types sea, mountain,
wasteland, wilderness and plains. It gives bridge span and tower
terrain sea, and everything else terrain wilderness. Hence, the stock
game remains unchanged.
Deities can use terrain to create sector types that can be developed
only in limited ways.
This simplifies things. In particular, it gets rid of random rounding
in getcommand(), which created a variation in the nightly build
depending on whether the update starts before or after the deity logs
out.
Replace struct natstr member nat_minused by nat_timeused, and update
cou_ca[] accordingly (this affects xdump nat). Replace player member
minleft by timeleft, and getminleft() by gettimeleft(). Update
getcommand(), daychange(), player_main(), status() accordingly, taking
care not to change player output. Change edit country key 'u' to work
in seconds.
Planes and land units on ships are sold along with the ship, but trade
showed them only when SHOWPLANE was enabled. Show them always.
Planes on land units are not sold along with the land unit, but trade
showed them when SHOWPLANE was enabled. Don't.
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".
New snxtitem_cargo() initializes an iterator for a cargo list, with
new enum ns_seltype member NS_GROUP and new struct nstr_item member
next. Extend nxtitem() and nxtitemp() to step through the list.
Members read were always set to ef_read, remove and call directly.
Member flag was only assigned to, never used, remove.
Change member group to char to match struct empobj.
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.
pln_nuktype is redundant; it can be computed from the nuke's
nuk_plane.
Make plane selector nuketype virtual and NSC_EXTRA. It should have
been NSC_EXTRA all along. This changes xdump plane.
Don't set it in arm(), disarm(), build_plane(), pln_damage() and
nuk_fixup(). The latter no longer does anything, remove it.
Deprecate edit key 'n' in doplane(), and don't show it in pr_plane().
The key never made much sense.
eff_bomb(), comm_bomb(), ship_bomb(), plane_bomb(), land_bomb(),
strat_bomb(), mission_pln_equip(), air_damage(), msl_hit(),
pln_equip() tested pln_nuketype to check whether a plane carries a
nuke. Test nuk_on_plane() instead.
pdump(), plan(), trade_desc() print whether and what kind of nuke a
plane carries. Adapt that to use nuk_on_plane().
Persistent game state encodes "who carries what" by storing the
carrier uid in the cargo. Cargo lists augment that: they store lists
of cargo for each carrier. They are not persistent.
New unit_cargo_init() to compute the cargo lists from game state.
Call it in ef_init_srv() and at the end of update_main().
New unit_onresize() to resize the cargo list data structure.
Installed as units' struct empfile callback onresize to make them
resize automatically with the unit files.
New unit_carrier_change() to update cargo lists when carriers change
in game state. Convenience wrappers pln_carrier_change(),
lnd_carrier_change() and nuk_carrier_change(). Call them from
prewrite callbacks to keep cargo lists in sync with game state.
To make that work, unused units must not point to a carrier. Add new
pln_oninit(), lnd_oninit() and nuk_oninit() take care of newly created
units. Change lnd_prewrite() and nuk_prewrite() to take dead land
units and nukes off their carrier. pln_prewrite() did that already.
New unit_cargo_first(), unit_cargo_next() to traverse cargo lists.
Convenience wrappers lnd_first_on_ship(), lnd_first_on_land(),
lnd_next_on_unit(), pln_first_on_ship(), pln_first_on_land(),
pln_next_on_unit() and nuk_on_plane(). The latter is disabled for now
because it clashes with an existing function.
Really belongs there, because it manipulates empfile[].
New ef_open_view() to replace ef_init_view(). Make ef_close() cope
with views, and remove ef_fina_view(). Make ef_extend() and
ef_truncate() oops on views.
Xundump had special hackery to maintain configuration tables'
sentinels: xubody() and getobj() added a sentinel element when
initializing or growing a table, which xubody() stripped off again
before returning. The latter was an unclean hack.
Replace this by building knowledge of sentinels into struct empfile:
new flag EFF_SENTINEL, set for the appropriate members of empfile[],
obeyed by ef_extend() and ef_truncate().
MAPWIDTH(x) was (x+2)/2 - 1 too small. Affected were path and route,
which use MAPWIDTH(3) to size their map buffer: they clobber map rows'
terminating zero when the map spans the whole world in x. rout() has
a cheesy work-around for that since Chainsaw 2. path() doesn't, and
duly breaks.
Change struct range from exclusive to inclusive upper bounds, for
consistency with struct realmstr and the area syntax. Also fix many
bugs.
real()'s conversion from struct range's exclusive upper bounds to
struct realmstr's inclusive upper bounds could underflow and store -1
in the realms file. Harmless, because its users didn't mind:
list_realm() and nstr_exec_val() convert back to relative coordinates,
and sarg_getrange() is only used by sarg_area(), which happened to
undo the damage. The change to inclusive upper bounds gets rid of the
broken conversion.
xyinrange() incorrectly treated the upper bound as inclusive, unless
the bounds were equal. Impact:
* nxtitem() and nxtitemp() cases NS_AREA and NS_DIST attempted to hack
around xyinrange()'s lossage(!), but screwed up: sectors on the
lower bound of of a range spanning the the whole world were skipped.
This affected all command arguments that support area or distance
syntax for items. In sufficiently small worlds, it could also make
radar miss satellites and ships, sonar miss ships, satellite miss
ships and land units, nuclear detonations miss ships, planes, land
units and nukes, automatic supply miss ship and land unit supply
sources, ships and land units fail to return fire, ships fail to
fire support.
* draw_map() could draw units sitting just right or just below of the
mapped area. No effect, as these parts of the map weren't actually
shown.
xydist_range() produced an inclusive upper bound when it decided that
the range covers everything in that dimension (which it didn't get
quite right either). This could make snxtsct_dist() and
snxtitem_dist() initialize the iterator with an incorrect upper bound.
Similar impact as the xyinrange() / nxtitem() lossage.
border() could print the hundreds line unnecessarily.
snxtsct() and snxtsct_all() screwed up for odd WORLD_Y: they failed to
include (WORLD_Y - 1) / 2 in the y-range. This affected all command
arguments that support "*" syntax for sectors, plus add ... c, power
n, and break.
snxtsct_all() failed to normalize the bounds (presumed harmless).
There were a few correct, but somewhat unclean uses of struct range
with inclusive upper bounds:
* nat_reset() used one internally.
* pathrange() worked with inclusive upper bounds internally, but
corrected to exclusive upper bounds before passing the range out.
* sarg_getrange() worked with inclusive upper bounds. Its only caller
sarg_area() corrected that to exclusive upper bounds.
The change to inclusive upper bounds cleans this up.
unit_map() and xysize_range() had no issues (isn't that amazing?), but
need to be updated for the changed struct range semantics.
RET_SYS was used for commands failing due to internal or environmental
errors, but not really systematically. The difference to RET_FAIL is
how dispatch() treats them: RET_SYS got logged, and cost no BTUs.
More specific logging is possible at the point of failure than in
dispatch(). Make sure that's done for all failures that used to
return RET_SYS.
The change in BTU charging affects commands consider, offer, repay,
trade failing due to internal errors. It also affects deity commands
reload and turn (irrelevant because deities get unlimited BTUs), and
commands apropos, info and motd (irrelevant because they cost no
BTUs).
The initial parts of struct loststr and struct empobj must match.
Commit 49780e2c screwed that up for members lost_uid/uid, which also
broke the equivalence of lost_owner/own. Since lost_uid is not used,
the former had no effect. But the latter broke xdvisible(). Could
make xdump lost leak information.
Commit a680c811 reorderd struct loststr members to make lost_timestamp
equivalent to new struct empobj member timestamp, but failed due to
the bug in commit 49780e2c. Commit f33b96b1 then set the timestamp
through empobj, which screwed up timestamps in lostitems, i.e. it
broke incremental xdump lost.
All of the above is in v4.3.12.
Commit 536ef0b0 (v4.3.15) added lost_seqno / seqno. No effect,
because only seqno is used.
This is the human-readable buddy of xdump product, which dumps pchr[].
It duplicates much of the information in show sect c, but in more
accessible form. It's in show_product().
Remove product information from info Quick-ref. show reflects the
actual game, is more complete, and should be just as readable.
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.
