  • hm_test_area_tl([“>,[“>) for testing the tiles before construction
  • saving signal type to macro skript
  • ‘FL = 0’ for flat tiles to fl_slope
  • signal types for replace not found saved signal
  • copying cities (minus pavement)
  • initial Doxygen create documentation

Changed

  • the text update script callbacks are now again only called during a step. Only the callback on clicking on a link must return quickly and cannot alter the map
  • Do not open climate settings dialogue on the far side of the screen
  • shorter update time for dymanic strings in local scenarios (1s instead 10s)
  • reset origin of flowtext scrollbars when changing text content
  • hm_test_area_tl() add terraform flag
  • indicate which AI script is running in finances
  • Hide AI settings in finance window for scripted AI
  • building owned houses and headquarters from script
  • check building if inside allowed area first to fail faster and fix tests
  • lowering tiles next to water will flood them again as a long time ago
  • Announce server to servers.simutrans-forum.de as default
  • create lost players during game laoding to recover more from broken savegames
  • no way foreground draw in stations and depots (and other buildings)

  • don’t assume a label has an owner
  • removed some ancient logic related to labels at places with stop names
  • Tree distribution setting reverts to random when trees are disabled during new world generation
  • Using hashes to find out if scenario texts has changed
  • do not calculate hash from schedule pounter or heap overflow
  • interating through tile map_objects work as documented
  • Player colours of scripted AIs appear to revert to the default colours on reload
  • Possible false-positive error when calling loadsave_t::flush_buffer
  • invalidate return res of script tools before calling
  • lots of files has nopt the native line ending set
  • scenario rules on the server were checked after packed were queued instead locally first, same like on the client
  • explicitely set user_dir before calling game saveload window

  • rule player system reworked to better handle large rules sets for individual player and also fix lookup of catch all waytype forbid
  • Station rotation preview ignored active player
  • tests for new townroad plaement
  • also connect bridges to tunnels in pak128 double slope situations
