With variables, item increases beyond the capacity of variables
(65535) were ignored here.
This should cover all item changes not going through putvec().
(give, deliver_it): Use it instead of 9990.
(load_comm_ship, load_comm_land, rese): Use it instead of 9999.
(thre): Use it instead of 10000.
(check_market, explore, move, pln_dropoff): Use it instead of 32767.
(unload_it): Use it instead of 99999 (which couldn't possibly work,
but what do you expect from the autonav code).
(doland, detonate, spread_fallout): Use it. With variables, fallout
beyond the capacity of variables (65535) was ignored, except in
doland(), where it saturated at 9999, and spread_fallout, where it
could overflow. Now it always saturates at FALLOUT_MAX.
(doland, mine, landmine, setsector, pln_dropoff): Use it. With
variables, mining beyond the capacity of variables (65535) was
ignored. Now the mines saturate at MINES_MAX.
Simplify. Split into member sct_che (number) and sct_che_target.
Users changed.
(get_che_cnum, set_che_cnum, get_che_value, get_che_value): Che
encoding/decoding functions; remove.
(CHE_MAX): Move from var.h to sect.h.
(prsect, doland): Print / edit the new field.
To save space, the ancients invented `variables': a collection of
key-value pairs, missing means zero value, space for `enough' keys.
This complicates the code, as assigning to a `variable' can fail for
lack of space. Over time, `enough' increased, and for quite some time
now `variables' have been *wasting* space. This changeset replaces
them, except in struct mchrstr, struct lchrstr and struct pchrstr,
where they are read-only, and will be replaced later. It is only a
first step; further cleanup is required. To simplify and minimize
this necessarily huge changeset, the new item[] arrays have an unused
slot 0, and the old variable types V_CIVIL, ... are still defined, but
must have the same values as the item types I_CIVIL, ...
(genitem_ca, ship_ca, plane_ca, land_ca): Remove selector "sell".
(comstr, trdstr): Members trd_price, com_price have no effect. Use
them instead of trd_maxprice, com_maxprice and remove the latter.
(commodity_ca, trade_ca): Remove selector "maxprice".
its code is obviously not in working order. Remove.
(minmult, maxmult, configkeys): Unused configuration parameters,
remove.
(tradedesc): Remove code related to mult that had no effect.
(multread, commread, commwrite, commamt, commset, multset, commprice):
Dangerous, because code bypasses ef_read() & friends, remove.
(diss): Commodity cleanup uses the above, remove. Command is disabled
and unlikely to work anyway.
loan_ca, news_ca, lost_ca, commodity_ca, trade_ca, nat_ca, map_ca):
NSC_OFF was lost during Empire3, rendering the codes confusing and
harder to use. Tack it back on.
(encode, code_char): No need to fool around with NSC_OFF anymore.
