PROJECT: Altered source files

[Solver]

Time for a new complete file set, maybe? Lots of changes since the last one...

[Peter Triggs]

I did this a while back and forgot all about it. It should fix the scenario savegame bug (but not for autosave, that still needs to be done).

This changed file does not include the previous change to this file (Fixed autosave directory name for scenarios to match normal directory).

I created a consolidated file and attched it!

Thanks, Lui2.

Radar map shifting

26.06.2004
ctp2_code/ui/aui_ctp2/radarmap.h
ctp2_code/ui/aui_ctp2/radarmap.cpp


Added a shifting possibility for the radar map (minimap).
With a right click on the radar map, you can now center the point you clicked , on the radar map.

It's nice to see your own empire in the center of the world!

The change takes care if the world has x and / or y wrap and does only allow shifing in the axis that has also wrap.

Cool!

Excellent! is there a race to see who can fix ctp2 first?

Newer version (1.3.1) of the Freetype Library, compiled with the same compiler (MSVS 6.0 SP6) as the playtest releases.
This is an attempt to fix a problem on XP.

ui\freetype\freetype.h
ui\freetype\freetype.lib
ui\freetype\fterrid.h
ui\freetype\ftnameid.h

ui\freetype\announce
ui\freetype\license.txt
ui\freetype\patents
ui\freetype\readme.1st

(Legal) notes:

• The code to generate the Freetype Library has not been included. You have to go to www.freetype.org if you are interested.
• There are some patents issues that may apply to distribution outside Europe. But the same issues should have applied to the original game.
• The Freetype Library has not been created by Activision. Stripping the comments (with copyrights!) from the source files may have been in violation of the license . Well, at least these are back in now. And I think Activision should have mentioned these guys in the credits somewhere.

Erm... I have tried to compile all these into a new playtest version but something has caused all text in the game to vanish. Any ideas what I sould have done?..

[Solver]

That's a weird effect. I've got a few strings of texts to disappear previously when compiling all versions, but nothing as far as this...

Bombard information

27.06.2004
ctp2_code/gs/gameobj/ArmyData.cpp

Prevents to inform the supposed defending AI from a bombard order that was illegal (e.g. giving a canon the order to bombard a ship on the sea).

Just a wild guess: could you try a full rebuild? Maybe the compiler gets confused by the "new" files from 1999 being older than the comment-stripped "old" files from 2003.

Updated (much lower!) freight costs.

[Fromafar]

Added user interface option: offer a choice between showing the intersection (default/original game) or the union of the possible orders of the units in an army, to make e.g. bombarding easier.

You may toggle this choice in-game through the Advanced options menu (Show All Army Orders), or edit the ShowOrderUnion line in your userprofile.txt.

ctp2_code\gs\database\ProfileDB.cpp
ctp2_code\gs\database\ProfileDB.h
ctp2_code\gs\gameobj\ArmyData.cpp
ctp2_code\gs\gameobj\ArmyData.h
ctp2_code\ui\interface\UnitControlPanel.cpp
ctp2_data\english\gamedata\ldl_str.txt
ctp2_data\german\gamedata\ldl_str.txt

ctp2_code\gs\gameobj\ArmyData.cpp
...

This change overlaps in source with the BombardCheck change. I created a consolidated "ArmyData.cpp" file and appended it.

EDIT: Corrected also a typo in the bombard information change!
