Slic builtin update by Martin Gühmann:

..\ctp2_code\gs\slic\SlicBuiltin.cpp
The following builtins have been updated:

- player.capital: The player's capital as string or city_t.
- player.largestcity: The player's largest city as string or city_t.
- player.researching: The database index or name of the current player's research project.
- player.militarystate: The player's military state as index or string.
- player.leaderperonality: The player's leader's personality type as string or personality database index.
- player.govttype: The player's government type as string or government database index.

..\ctp2_code\gs\slic\SlicSymbol.cpp
GetText function now returns FALSE to be able to check whether there according slic symbol has a valid string.

..\ctp2_code\gs\slic\sliccmd.cpp
Modifed the integer checker function so that they return FALSE if there is a valid string associated with the given slic symbol, so that the slic builtins above still work in string replacement as used.

..\ctp2_code\ai\diplomacy\sstateevent.cpp
Added two "!" so that the code for the AI to respect the city limit is used in non-ACTIVISION_ORIGINAL builds instead the way around.

Bug fixes:

ctp2_code\ai\diplomacy\diplomat.cpp
ctp2_data\default\gamedata\civilisation.txt
Prevented a crash on invalid input, and corrected the invalid input.

Bug fixes:

net\general\net_info.cpp
Unblock the client user interface when the server has handled the city production, so you don't have to open some manager before being permitted to do anything - for MP.

gs\database\constdb.cpp
Restored database compatibility with the original Activision version when possible - for MP testing.

gs\gameobj\player.cpp
Untested: handled the science update as the population update of the previous post. An attempt at a solution for the problem that researching is useless with PBEM.

Miscellaneous open issues:

ctp2_code\gfx\tilesys\resourcemap.cpp
Repaired memory leak.

ctp2_code\gfx\tilesys\tiledmap.cpp
Initialised more data (pointers) in the constructor, to prevent a possible access to invalid memory.

ctp2_code\gs\slic\slicfuncai.cpp
ctp2_code\gs\slic\slicfuncai.h
Restored compatibility for WAW/Diplomod.

ctp2_code\gs\gameobj\vision.cpp
Removed leak report cause (not actually a leak).

2004.11.05
Slic builtin update by Martin Gühmann:

..\ctp2_data\english\gamedata\civ_str.txt
..\ctp2_data\french\gamedata\civ_str.txt
..\ctp2_data\german\gamedata\civ_str.txt
..\ctp2_data\italian\gamedata\civ_str.txt

Updated to match latest civ additions. Note the Italian file only contains untranslated strings in English. The according files for the Spanish and Japanese version are missing. Latest English version based on a file by Locutus. Latest French version based on a file by Tamerlin.

..\ctp2_data\german\gamedata\str_loc.txt
..\ctp2_data\italian\gamedata\str_loc.txt

Localized civ grammer for the new civs, note that only the file for the German version contains real data, the Italian file was filled with dummy data. A French version could also have filled with dummy data but I think in this case we can wait for the file with the real data. And note such a file is missing for the Spanish version. I don't know whether there is such an file for the Japanese version.

Miscellaneous issues again:

ctp2_code\net\general\net_info.cpp
ctp2_code\net\general\net_info.h
ctp2_code\gs\gameobj\citydata.cpp
Updated kaan's #14 solution after testing against the official Activision patch with a debugger.

ctp2_code\ai\ctpai.cpp
ctp2_code\ai\diplomacy\diplomat.cpp
Improved diplomat cleanup (speed-up, memory leak prevented).

ctp2_code\gs\armydata.cpp
Prevented a memory leak report from some unused variables.

ctp2_code\gs\dbgen\ctdpb.y
Exit dbgen with a proper value, to prevent random "cmd" error build stops.

Bug fixes:

ctp2_code\ui\aui_directx\aui_directmouse.cpp
ctp2_code\ui\aui_directx\aui_directkeyboard.cpp
Continue handling events (thus removing these from the input buffer) when an input buffer overflow is reported.

ctp2_code\gfx\spritesys\spritegroup.cpp
ctp2_code\gfx\spritesys\cityspritegroup.cpp
ctp2_code\gfx\spritesys\effectspritegroup.cpp
ctp2_code\gfx\spritesys\projectilespritegroup.cpp
ctp2_code\gfx\spritesys\projectilespritegroup.h
ctp2_code\gfx\spritesys\unitspritegroup.cpp
Repaired crashes when attempting to load a saved file with the new Alexander scenario.

Note for Locutus:
Loading a saved file from the AlexNew scenario will make the program look for files in the AlexanderTheGreat original scenario directory, causing reports of missing sprites, and a crash later. Changing the first line in Scenarios\AlexNew\scen0000\scenario.txt to something unique will correct this.

Nice one

I would have never guessed that it would be that simple.

Bug #28 done, only 5 left now

[Ekmek]

ctp2_code\gs\armydata.cpp

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?postid=3421692#post3421692

updated attachment to include Peter Triggs additions

[Solver]

Anyone actually tested it ?

Activision patch reimplementation

ctp2_code\net\general\net_info.cpp
ctp2_code\net\general\net_info.h
ctp2_code\gs\gameobj\feattracker.cpp
ctp2_code\gs\gameobj\feattracker.h
Feat accomplishment propagation from server to client.

Notes: The new net_info code value has been verified with a debugger (as received from a server with the Activision patch), so kaan's PW propagation code value has been moved up some places. Actually, I have never received the PW propagation info message from the server yet. And I still haven't got a clue about the FT data. Maybe it has nothing to do with feat tracking.
FT = First Turn? False Trail?
