Land unit reactions are overly complex because we have two different
concepts controlling them: reaction radius (set with lrange) and
reserve mission (set with mission). You need to deal with both to set
up or query reactions.
Commit 8d0e1af5 "fixed" this by making reserve missions meaningless.
The previous commit made reserve missions meaningful again: they
support an op-area now. This brought back the problem of having to
deal with two separate commands to accomplish one thing.
Fix this for good by removing non-mission land unit reaction
alltogether. The only feature we lose by that is the ability to order
land units to react until the order is explicitely cancelled. That's
because missions are implicitely cleared by many commands and events,
while non-mission reaction wasn't. Closes#858121 and #858122.
Remove the non-mission reaction case from att_reacting_units().
Don't limit reserve missions to the land unit's reaction radius: make
lnd_reaction_range() return the type's maximum radius instead of
lnd_rad_max.
The reaction radius is now useless. Remove the lrange command, and
struct lndstr member lnd_rad_max along with its selector react.
Remove land command's column rd. Make ldump show column react as
zero. Deprecate edit key 'P' in dounit(), and don't show it in
pr_land().
Land units on reserve missions used to pay only half the usual
mobility for combat. This bonus was commented out in the code in
4.0.0, but not in info. Remove it from both.
Always charge land units at least as much mobility for assaulting from
non-landing ships as for landing ships. Before, marines lost all
mobility when assaulting from a non-landing ship, which could be less
than what the same assault costs from a landing ship (half an update's
worth).
(all): Depend on info.
Flatten info directory. This undoes the move to one subdirectory per
chapter, which was done during Empire 2. The structure doesn't buy us
much, as the info name space is flat, and it complicates makefiles.
Overhaul info.pl:
- It now wants to run in the root of the build tree.
- Information on source files and subjects is now stored in makefiles,
thus info.pl no longer picks up random junk from the file system.
- Clean up Perl anachronisms, in particular use subroutine arguments and
results rather than global variables where convenient.
- Change format of diagnostics to the common format used by GNU tools,
so that Emacs and the like can parse it.
- Catch missing .SA.
- When creating a new subject file, cowardly refuse to overwrite an
existing file.
- Subject files contain topics sorted by chapter, then by name. The
order of chapters used to depend on how Perl sorts hash keys. Fix
it.
