  • AI now splits and counts mineable fileds per resource/mine type and uses it for decision making, ignoring inaccessible fields in the process
  • When looking for the nearest buildable spot, the AI will accept mineable fields also. This affects willingness to expand when there are no buildable spots nearby, but some mines can be conquered by a new militarysite.
  • AI now calculates military strength based on the actual init.lua files rather than hard-coding the values. This also removes the tribe name restriction for modders.
  • When considering a quarry, the AI makes sure there is at least one rock in the vicinity. Same for fishers and fish.

  • The worker program "plant" no longer takes "tribe:" as a parameter; immovables are now identified via their attributes only, and both world and tribe immovables are searched. As a side effect, tribe immovables can now have terrain affinity.
  • Forester/Ranger now prefers good soil, and is thus more efficient
  • Make the scout aware of nearby military sites. The scout now switches between random walking and doing an excursion to enemy military sites
  • When a Fish Breeder's fishing grounds are full, display a special tooltip instead of sending an "Out of Resources" message

  • Fixed bug in collectors script where a broken message was sent after the game ended
  • Check for visibility of military buildings before permitting attack. This solves a problem with impregnable castles.
  • Improved algorithm for promotion and demotion of roads

  • Tweaked production programs for shipyards
  • Balancing: All Smelting Works, Furnaces, Smokeries, Recycling Center, Atlantean and Frisian Toolsmithies, Taverns, Inns and Drinking Halls no longer waste time if a ware is missing and they have to skip a program
  • Balancing: Tweaked programs for Weapon/Armor producing buildings
  • Balancing: Imperial Armor Smithy produces 1 more Helm per run to balance the amount of armor types for training
  • Balancing: Changed the order of programs in the Atlantean Toolsmithy
  • Balancing: Gave the Barbarian Deep Gold Mine the same stats as the Deep Iron Mine

  • Allow return on dismantle values without buildcost
  • Fix desyncs caused by floating point arithmetic in terrain affinity
  • Reset economy serial in Game constructor. This fixes desyncs in replays.

Graphics Engine

  • Renamed "sub" tag to "div" in new font renderer.
  • The new font renderer now sets the width properly and supports player color for images. Added width property to img tag
  • The new font renderer now creates a set of textures that will be blitted separately by the new class RenderedText. This avoids issues with texture sizes exceeding the maximum size supported by graphics drivers when MultilineTextareas get arbitrarily long.
  • Fixed incorrect layout of divs with width=fill when the previous div is wider than 50%
  • Fixed superfluous space characters at beginning and end of lines
  • Implemented text floating around images
  • Messages try to render with the new font renderer first, then fall back to the old font renderer for layouting messages that haven't been converted yet (and from savegames).

  • Improved documentation: Started adding Tribe and World information to our online Widelands Scripting Reference.
  • Created a new executable 'wl_map_object_info' that will generate JSON files for updating the encyclopedia on the website.

Graphics Engine

  • Fixed line drawing by replacing the broken use of GL_LINES with a tessellation algorithm for drawing lines.
  • Decoupled UI update frequency from game update frequency (which is now 15 times per second).
  • Removed graphic::update() and Panel::update() and always redraw at maxfps.
  • Changed default maxfps to 30 (instead of 25).
  • Filter all textures linearly instead of near. This looks nicer and texture bleeding has been taken care of.
  • Added a new undocumented command line argument --debug_gl_trace which will log every OpenGL call that is made, together with arguments, return values and glError status. This requires that Widelands is build using -DOPTION_USE_GLBINDING:BOOL=ON. It is a NoOp for GLEW. This will help debugging non-reproducible OpenGL errors that are reported. Tested with glbinding 1.1.0.
  • More logging when OpenGL is initialized.
  • Correctly crop destination and source rectangle while blitting.
  • Fixed memory leaks in UI::Table::draw and around code found using the Leaks tool in Apple's Instruments.

Other Issues

  • Added build instructions for OpenBSD
  • Ships get debug window. Also its content are extended.
  • Removed --logfile command line flag - use redirects instead. Added an SDL2 aware logger that replicates writing a stdout.txt on windows.

Build 17

  • Diversified heal rate for military buildings - the bigger, the quicker.
  • Improved and remodelled a lot of the buildings' animations.
  • Improved and remodelled a lot of the bobs' animations.
  • Improved and remodelled a lot of terrain graphics.
  • Improved dedicated server functionality:
    • now runable as daemon and thus via init.d script on servers
    • added possibility to write server statistics to html files
    • added functionality to save the game on the server via chat command.
    • added functionality to set up a password for the server.
    • added functionality to set a custom message of the day (motd).
    • improved client side handling / setting up of dedicated servers.
  • Improved a lot of icons and button appearence.
  • Improved statistics window.
  • Improved the Widelands code to use less resources.
  • Improved OpenGL rendering which is now active by default.
  • Improved (slightly) the computer player through use of the new dismantle feature.
  • Replaced the old libggz based metaserver support with our own ggz independed solution, which brings some new features as well:
    • The metaserver is now checking whether a game is connectable if it is not, it sends an error message to the client to inform it.
    • System messages on the metaserver like global announcements motd changes or Error-Messages are now imported to running games and shown there as well.

  • Reordered wares and workers in logical groups (e.g. food production, ...). Also fix the Economy Preferences Menu to be similar to the new Warehouse windows.
  • Barbarian lumberjacks now need a felling_axe which is produce in the metal workshop. The axe is now only produced in the war mill and the axe factory. This delays barbarian soldier production in the early game, giving the other tribes more time to equalize their military production. (bug #667286)
  • Give Empire +1 basket so that two vineyards can be build right away to fully saturate the first marble mine.
  • Buttons that represent a toggable state are now really toggable buttons in the user interface.
  • Changed the way compressed files are generated (maps, savegames) and read. Now it is possible to rename maps and savegames but it is not possible to load maps from version after this change with versions before this change

  • Added host commands like /announce, /kick, ... (type /help in chat window to get a list of available commands).
  • Improved defaultAI's behaviour.

Build 15

  • Removed registering functionality for metaserver. This is to be compatible with future changes to the metaserver.
  • Small text tweaks and translation updates.
  • New graphics for some buildings and menu pics.
  • Fix for Multiline Editboxes that could lead the Editor to crash.
  • Scout runs a little longer to make it more useful.
  • Fixed descyns happening when a scout left his house in network games.
  • Healthy soldiers defend while injured ones heal at MilitarySite (bzr:5084)
  • Fixed bug when PM is send to the player hosting a network game.
  • Fishbreeder no longer complains about no fish found.
  • Conquered buildings now appear in statistics.
  • Improvements in the build_and_run.sh script and cmake building in general.
  • Sound & Music system is now thread safe.
  • Win 32 bug fix: Mine symbols were not visible in VC++ builds.
  • Fix defending soldiers making invisible and freezing battles.
  • Support for building with Visual Studio
  • New graphics for some buildings
  • Added second carrier type for busy roads (donkeys, oxen, horses)
  • Changed localization structure so that we can translate from launchpad.net
  • Cmake is now a supported build system
  • Lua support (preliminary)
  • Fix bug that when a worker program had a createitem command where the parameter was not the name of a ware type in the tribe, the game would fail an assertion when the command was executed. Now throw an exception when the command is parsed. (svn:r4847)
  • Implement a the "scout" command in worker programs. Add a worker type "scout" to each tribe. Such a worker type typically lives in a small house/hut (productionsite). The productionsite's work program typically consists of a sleep period, consumption of some food, and sending the worker out to explore nodes that have never been seen before or not seen recently. (svn:r4840, svn:r4841, svn:r4843, svn:r4844, svn:r4845)
  • In the chat, doubleclicking a username will add @username so that the text that is written after will be sent as a personal message to that user. (svn:r4832)
  • Implemented double size zoom mode for minimap (svn:r4820, svn:r4821)
  • Added login/register menu for games via metaserver (svn:r4818, svn:r4819)
  • Added a small scenario part to "The Green Plateau" map (svn:r4808, svn:r4810)
  • Improve map select menu - now the "play as scenario" checkbox is only usable, if the selected map is playable as scenario (= if a file "trigger" exists). Further it shows a special icon for scenario maps for a direct indication. (svn:r4807)
  • Added new event "seeall" allowing to switch see all mode of a player to on/off. (svn:r4804, svn:r4878)
  • In productionsite programs: Generalize failure handling method to result handling method. Depending on the result of the called program, the calling program can now return failed, completed or skipped. It can also chose to continue execution or repeat the call. (svn:r4781)
  • Added new loading screens for Desert, Greenland and Winterland. (svn:r4778, svn:r4816)
  • Improved Battle code
    • Added support for soldier combat animations (svn:r4772)
    • Let soldiers retreat, when they are injured. Let the player configure in the game how injured they have to be to retreat. Make it configurable in scenarios and initializations to what extent a player should be able to configure this feature during the game. (svn:r4796, svn:r4812)
    • New attack user interface (svn:r4802, svn:r4803, svn:r4813)
  • Fix bug that if a user sent a private chat message to himself, the nethost delivered it to him twice. (svn:r4764)
  • Added a new map 'Atoll' (svn:r4755)
  • Add the production program return condition type "site has" that takes a group (just like the consume command). Now it is possible to have a statement "return=failed unless site has bread,fish,meat:4". (svn:r4750)
  • When parsing a consume group, check that the count is not so large that the group can not be fulfilled by the site. For example if a site has "[inputs]" "smoked_fish=6", "smoked_meat=6" and a program has a consume command with the group "smoked_fish,smoked_meat:13" it will give an error message (previously it was just accepted silently). (svn:r4750)
  • Fix bug that prevented parsing of a negation condition in a production program return statement. (svn:r4748)
  • Change some productionsites to produce even if the product is not needed, if none of the inputs nor the site's capacity are needed either, so that wares of a more refined type are available when they are needed in the future. (svn:r4746, svn:r4748, svn:r4751)
  • Fix broken logic of productionsite program's return command's when-condition. (svn:r4745)
  • Show in the statistics string why a building is not working. (svn:r4744)
  • When a productionsite program has been skipped, do not start it again until at least 10 seconds have passed, to avoid slowing down the simulation. The drawback is that it may take longer time until the productionsite discovers that it should produce something (for example because the amount of a ware type dropped below the target quantity). (svn:r4743)
  • Fix bug that 40 characters was read from a file into a buffer that was used as a 0-terminated string (the building statistics string). This worked as long as the file provided the 0-terminator. Now make sure that the buffer is 0-terminated regardless of what the file contains. Previously the whole buffer was written (including the garbage after the terminator). Now only write the real content. (svn:r4742)
  • Fix the editor's trigger time option menu. (svn:r4740)
  • Fix the map Sun of fire so that there is no longer possible to walk (attack) along the coast between players 4 and 5.
  • Improvements in replay handling to save diskspace (svn:r4719, svn:r4720)
    • Only write syncstreams in multiplayer games
    • Delete old (definable) replay files and syncstreams at startup
  • Replace the event type that allows or forbids a building type for a player with 2 separate event types (for allow and forbid respectively). They can handle multiple building types in the same event and the configuration dialog is more complete, with icons for the building types. (svn:r4717)
  • Implement event types to set the frontier/flag style of a player (can also be used in initializations). Also implement configuration dialogs for those event types. (svn:r4709, svn:r4715).
  • Change the code so victorious soldiers conquer an opposing militarysite, instead of destroying it. (svn:r4706 - svn:r4711, svn:r4724, svn:r4727, svn:r4731, svn:r4732, svn:r4822, svn:r4839)
  • Fix bug that caused undenfined behaviour, particularly segmentations faults in 64-bit optimized builds. (svn:r4702)
  • Improve player's message queue: (svn:r4698)
    • Add only important and not doubled messages.
    • Play a sound, if a new message arrives.
    • Play special sounds at special events (e.g. "You are under attack")
  • Fix bug that a savegame, with a flag on a node that was not interior to the flag's owner, could be loaded. (svn:r4695)
  • Fix bug that a scenario game could be started from a map, where a player did not have a starting position, causing a failed assertion when trying to center the view on the player's home location. (svn:r4694)
  • Fix out-of-bounds array access bug in network game lobby code. (svn:r4676)
  • Fix bug that panel_snap_distance and border_snap_distance were mixed up when initializing the spinboxes in the options menu. (svn:r4665)
  • Fix crash when trying to use the editor to add an event, of type conquer_area, with the same name as an existing event. (svn:r4655)
  • Fix a bug in ids of autogenerated maps and add automatic resource, immovable and critter placement to the automatic map generation feature. (svn:r4651, svn:r4679)
  • Fix bug that a savegame, with flags on neighbouring map nodes, could be loaded, leading to errors later on (for example when trying to build a 1-step road between them). (svn:r4621)
  • Fix bug that a savegame, where a flag was placed on one map node but later was given the coordinates of another map node, could be loaded, leading to errors later on. (svn:r4620)
  • Added more stones to the Elven Forests map. (svn:r4612)
  • Improved the selection of which warehouse a produced ware should be transported to. (svn:r4609)
  • Add new music. (svn:r4602, svn:r4611)
  • Change the reporting of an error that is found in game data (savegame, command log, world/tribe definitions) whenever such game data is read (for example when a replay or new or saved game is started or a new or saved map is loaded in the editor). Do not include source code filename:linenumber information (just explain what is wrong with the game data that the user tried to load). Return to where the user tried to load the game data (menu/shell). (svn:r4600)
  • Fix bug that sometimes a warehouse did not provide a carrier to fulfill a request when it should. (svn:r4599)
  • Change bob movement by eliminating a 10 ms pause before starting to move along an edge. The game logic could fail and throw an exception if a bob was moving along a road and the road was split during those 10 ms. Unfortunately this fix breaks each old savegame with a bob that happens to be in this state. (svn:r4597)
  • Fix memory leaks. (svn:r4567, svn:r4671, svn:r4672, svn:r4673, svn:r4674, svn:r4675, svn:r4677, svn:r4681, svn:r4682, svn:r4756)
  • Fix bug that when the editor's map options window was opened and the map's description was shorter than a certain length (different for different locales), the program would crash when a letter was typed in the description multilineeditbox. (svn:r4563)

Build 14

  • Fix bug that the Firegames map had no water. (svn:r4533)
  • New tree and stone graphics for the Blackland world. (svn:r4525, svn:r4526, svn:r4527, svn:r4528, svn:r4529)
  • Fix bug that the Atlantean and Empire Hunter's Houses were not shown as meat producers in the ware encyclopedia. (svn:r4521)
  • Fix bug that in the new event/trigger dialogs, the Ok button was enabled even when an event/trigger type was selected, for which no options window is implemented. Nothing happened when the button was pressed. Now the button is disabled and a note is shown, explaining that an event/trigger of this type must be created by editing the text files (with a regular text editor instead of the Widelands editor). (svn:r4512)
  • Fix bug that when a ware was waiting at a flag, and the next flag or building that the ware was waiting to be taken to was removed, anyting could happen (because of a dangling pointer). (svn:r4508)
  • Fix usability problem that accidentally double-clicking on a road could remove it. (Previously, when clicking on a node that had a road, but a flag could not be placed there, the mouse cursor would be placed over the button to remove the road, in the dialog that was opened. Now place the mouse cursor over the tab icon instead in that case.) (svn:r4490)
  • When entering automatic roadbuilding mode after creation of a non-connected flag, move the mouse cursor to the flag, to offer optimal conditions to either start building a road, in any direction from that flag, or directly click on the flag to stop building the road. (svn:r4489)
  • Give more progress information during editor startup by showing a message for each tribe that is being loaded. (svn:r4488)
  • When a progress indicator has been shown during animation loading, remove the message "Loading animations: 99%" afterwards, so that the user is not mislead to believe that animation loading is still going on, when in fact something else is taking time. (svn:r4486)
  • Some "plastic surgeries" on editor menus. (svn:r4481, svn:r4482, svn:r4483, svn:r4484, svn:r4485)
  • Fix bug that in the editor's event menu, the buttons to change and delete an event chain where enabled even when no event chain was selected in the list. This caused a crash when any of the 2 buttons was clicked. (svn:r4480)
  • Make sure that every soldier battle property that is loaded from a savegame and is not compatible with the soldier's type's definition is adjusted to the nearest valid value. This makes changes to a soldier type's battle properties affect preexisting savegames when they are loaded with the changed game data. (svn:r4479)
  • Fix bug that a soldier without hitpoints could be loaded from a savegame. (svn:r4478)
  • Fix memory access error caused by a value read from a savegame being used as an array index without being checked. (svn:r4477)
  • Fix null pointer dereference that could be caused by an invalid savegame. (svn:r4475)
  • Fix bug that if a savegame contained a soldier with max hitpoints < current hitpoints, it was not detected as an error. (svn:r4474)
  • Fix bug that when loading (from a savegame) a bob (such as a worker or wild animal) that was walking along an edge between 2 neighbouring nodes, it was not checked that the start time was before the end time. (Both times are stored in savegames.) (svn:r4470)
  • Fix bug that when a military-/trainingsite was loaded from a savegame, it was not checked whether the configured capacity was within the range of allowed values, as defined in the site's type. Do not reject the savegame if the value is outside the range, since the definition may have changed and the user wants to load the game anyway. Just warn and adjust the variable to the nearest valid value. (svn:r4468, svn:r4469)
  • Fix bug that the parsing of a worker type would allow max_experience < min_experience. (svn:r4467)
  • Fix wrong calculation of the amount of experience that a worker needs to change its type. The value is chosen randomly in an interval, from min_experience to max_experience, specified in the soldier's type's definition. But the calculation had an off-by-one error that caused the value to never become max_experience, and worse, crash with a division by 0 when min_experience = max_experience. (svn:r4466)
  • Fix bug that the game loading code would accept a soldier with max_attack < min_attack. (svn:r4465)
  • Fix bug that the parsing of a soldier type would allow max_attack < min_attack. (svn:r4464)
  • Fix wrong calculation of a soldier's attack value during battle. The value is chosen randomly in an interval, from min_attack to max_attack. But the calculation had an off-by-two error that caused the value to never become max_attack or max_attack - 1, and worse, crash with a division by 0 when min_attack + 1 = max_attack. (svn:r4463)
  • Fix wrong calculation of a soldier's maximum hitpoints during its creation. The value is chosen randomly in an interval, from min_hp to max_hp, specified in the soldier's type's definition. But the calculation had an off-by-one error that caused the value to never become max_hp, and worse, crash with a division by 0 when min_hp = max_hp. (svn:r4462)
  • Fix bug that a corrupt savegame could cause gametime to go backwards (a !GameLogicCommand could have a duetime in the past without being detected as corrupt during load). (svn:r4460)
  • Fix invalid memory access bug (causisng random behaviour) when a section file inside a zip-archive was missing a newline at the end. (svn:r4443)
  • Fix bug that trigger building could count large buildings sevaral times because they occupy several nodes on the map. (svn:r4441)
  • Added Italian translation (svn:r4435, svn:r4436)
  • Fix drawing of text with non-latin1 characters. (svn:r4421)
  • When a soldier steps outside his territory during attack, he searches for militarysites with defenders. Previously he chose them from any other player. Now only choose defenders from the player whose territory the soldier steps on. (svn:r4410)
  • Exit with an error when incompatible command line parameters are given, instead of ignoring it. (svn:r4406)
  • Allow starting a replay from the command line by giving the --replay=FILENAME parameter. If just --replay is given, the program goes directly to the replay file selection menu. (svn:r4405)
  • Fix display of multiline editoboxes when the text has more than one consecutive linebreak. (svn:r4395)
  • Fix navigation in multiline editboxes. When the last line was empty and the text cursor was at the end of the line above, it was not possible to move the cursor to the last line with the down arrow key. (svn:r4394)
  • Fix bug that the text cursor was not visible when at the beginning of a line (in a single- or multiline editbox). (svn:r4393).
  • Give spectators (see-only) access to the building and economy configuration windows. Same for players with see-all right (debug builds). (svn:r4380, svn:r4399)
  • When a soldier can not move to its opponent during an attack, do not give up and quit the program. Instead, let the soldier desert without punishment. Notify the 2 involved players by adding a message to their message queues and pausing the game. Also pause and give a message when a worker can not return home to his building and therefore becomes a fugitive. (svn:r4378)
  • Fix bug that the in-/decrease buttons in the editor's noise height options menu were not repeating. (svn:r4459)
  • Fix bug that the buttons in the editor's change resources options menu were not properly disabled. (svn:r4458)
  • Fix bug that the traingingsite window soldier buttons (drop selected soldier, decrease soldier capacity and increase capacity) were not properly disabled and that the latter 2 were not repeating. (svn:r4373)
  • Fix bug that the building window background graphic was not drawn with correct playercolour. (svn:r4369)
  • Fix bug that buildings that were behind fog were not drawn with correct playercolour. (svn:r4367)
  • Fix bug in buildcaps calculation. Sometimes it was possible to build a large building at location A and then build a large building at location B. But if a large building was built at location B first, it was no longer possible to build a large building at location A. (svn:r4366)
  • Fix bug that the content of the interactive player data packet in a savegame was used without being checked properly, which could lead to a segmentation fault. (svn:r4353)
  • Fix bug in the editor that it was possible to remove a player even though it was referenced by someting (such as an event or trigger). (svn:r4339)
  • Fix bug that for a worker type, an experience value was read and used even though the worker type could not become some other worker type. (svn:r4328)
  • Make the config file format somewhat stricter. Do not allow // comments and require a section header to be closed with a ']'. (svn:r4285, svn:r4298)
  • No longer look for bmp an gif images when searching for animation frames. This should make animation loading a little faster. (svn:r4278)
  • Added and improved some buildings and workers animations (different svn rev.)
  • Many graphic system updates including experimental hardware improvements (many different svn rev.)
  • Implemented very basic "dedicated" server (many different svn rev.)
  • Improved chat system:
    • Added personal messages (use "@username message") (svn:r4186)
    • Added a time string in front of each message (svn:r4253)
  • Implemented metaserver lobby for internet game (many different svn rev.)
  • Implemented check of free diskspace to avoid segfaults (different svn rev.)
  • Added new ware icons. (svn:r4152, svn:r4250, svn:r4471)
  • Implemented versioning system to avoid that Widelands loads data of old Widelands versions. (svn:r4133)
  • Implemented basic "generate random map" feature. (svn:r4113)
  • Implemented basic messaging system to inform players of important events. (many different svn rev.)
  • Improved computer player behaviour (many different svn rev.)
    • Computer player should now be able to build up a working infrastructure (including mining, tools and weapons production and soldier training) and to attack and defeat their enemies.
    • Users are now able, to select the type of a computer player. The available types are: Aggressive, Normal, Defensive and None. First three are based upon the improved AI and only behave different in case of attacking strength and expansion, while latter does simply nothing.
    • It is now possible to define the computer player type for camapign maps.
  • Throw out the bundled version of scons. Scons is widely available by now and the bundled version caused more trouble than it was worth: many incompatibilities, where a distribution-supplied version would have worked (svn:r3929)
  • Fix bug #2351257 - wrong game tips are shown. (svn:r3808)
  • Some improvements of tribes economy and soldier balance (svn:r3793, svn:r3796)
  • Added third barbarian campaign (svn:r3790) and improved the already existing ones (svn:r3775, svn:r3788)
  • Added a new trigger for scenario maps: Player defeated (svn:r3789)
  • In the editor save dialog; initialize the name box with the map name and do not react (for example by playing a sound) to clicks in the empty area below the last file in the listbox (affects all listboxes in the UI). (svn:r3783)
  • Fix bug in build13 that the editor save dialog would use the name of the list item from the second last (instead of the last) click. (svn:r3781)
  • Added an editor tool to set a new origin in the map. This will make it possible to get an island properly centered, instead of divided in 4 corners when a minimap is generated with an external tool, such as the one used in the map download section. The button that enables the tool is in the map options dialog. (svn:r3778)
  • Allow longer text for a world's name and author (to avoid having it cut off like "The Widelands Development Tea"). (svn:r3777)
  • Do not crash when writing an empty file. (svn:r3773)
  • Added two new in game and one new menu song. (svn:r3758, svn:r3800)
  • Make more configuration options configurable in the options menu. (svn:r2753)
  • Fix bugs in the S2 map loader. Trying to load an invalid file could cause failed assertions in debug builds and probably other bugs in release builds. (svn:r3750)
  • Added new loading screens for winterland and for barbarian campaigns. (svn:r3748, svn:r3797)
  • Allow configuring which information about a building is shown in the mapview's building census and statistics displays and the building window title. (svn:r3741)
  • Added colorized chatmessages. (svn:r3725)
  • Added a lobby to the multiplayer launchgame menu. Now users are not automatically assigned to players. Users staying in the lobby when the game begins will become spectators. (svn:r3702, svn:r3703, svn:r3707, svn:r3709, svn:r3710)
  • Fix the map Dry Riverbed so that the mountain pass is passable in both directions. (svn:r4335)
  • Improved the map Plateau so that the players can reach the center even if another player is fortified there. This is achieved by allowing large buildings at a few more places in the valleys leading from the starting positions to the center. Also add some wiese1 (terrain type), which was not used at all on this map before. Make some small adjustments to the node heights in the small valley just east of player 1's starting position, so that the valley becomes more useful. (svn:r3713, svn:r4361, svn:r4362)
  • Added two new maps "Twinkling Waves" and "The ancient sun of fire". (svn:r3689, svn:r4119)
  • Fix bug that the editor toolsize menu was not updated when the toolsize was changed with the keyboard shortcuts. (svn:r3675)
  • Implement feature request #1792180 - Allow user to change starting-position. (svn:r3666, svn:r3667, svn:r3668)
  • Editboxes now support UTF8 (unicode) characters, so the players can use their locale language in game. (svn:r3662, svn:r4398)
  • Improve the output of widelands --help. (svn:r3660)
  • Add a new terrain type, corresponding to Greenland's bergwiese, to Desert. (svn:r3659)
  • Workers that search for an object now prefer one of the nearest. Therefore they spend less time walking and more time harvesting. (svn:r3658)
  • Fix bug that in the military-/trainingsite windows, the name (untranslated) of the soldier type was shown instead of the descname (translated). (svn:r3645)
  • Fix bug that in the trainingsite window, the ware priority buttons were not updated. (svn:r3642)
  • Fix bug that in the trainingsite window, the column total level was not sorted correctly for 2-digit values (10 was sorted between 1 and 2). (svn:r3641)
  • Fix bug that when the user typed in the editor's map description input fields, the world was reparsed on every keystroke, which caused a delay. (svn:r3640)
  • Fix bug that when the loading of a tribe failed, the error message was insufficient. (svn:r3639)
  • Fix bug related to land ownership and military influence when a soldier arrived to a trainingsite. (svn:r3701)
  • Fix bug related to land ownership and military influence when an event_building was executed. (svn:r3636, svn:r3637)
  • Fix bug that when a _pc-file was missing for an animation frame, the program did not make it clear that it was the _pc-file that was missing (the user was lead to think that it was the main file of the animation frame). (svn:r3623)
  • Fix bugs in the maps Mystical Maze and Three Warriors: update tribe name to atlanteans. (svn:r3609, svn:r3612)
  • Change the Atlantean Weaponsmithy's program Produce Light Trident to consume iron (in addition to planks). This makes it necessary to mine iron ore to produce soldiers, which makes it more difficult to win against the other tribes (who also require iron for making soldiers) (svn:r3718)
  • Fix bug in build13 that the Atlantean Labyrinth's program Upgrade Evade 1 could consume bread and then fail. (svn:r3714)
  • Add demand check to Cloth production in Empire Weaving Mill. (svn:r3604)
  • Add a program that produces an axe to the Barbarian Metalworks. (svn:r3717)
  • Simplify the stoppability rules of building types. Only productionsites are stoppable. A productionsite type is a stoppable if and only if it is not a militarysite type. Get rid of the config option to make a building type stoppable (many building types had "stopable=yes" in their conf-file). Also get rid of the config options to set custom stop/continue icons for each building type (this was not used in any of the building types that are included in the Widelands releases). It is no longer possible to stop a constructionsite so that the finished building will be set to stopped. (svn:r3723)
  • Get rid of event numbers in event chains. This removes the maximum limit of 99 events in an !EventChain. It also makes diffs much smaller when an event is inserted, because now the following events do not need to be renumbered. (svn:r3600)
  • For the statistics string of a trainingsite (shown in the mapview near the trainingsite when S has been pressed), replace strings like "upgrade_evade_0" (untranslated) with strings like "Upgrade evade 0" (translated). (svn:r3595)
  • Fix bugs that ware/worker types were identified by their temporary index value instead of their permanent name in some places in savegames. The temporary index values may not be the same when the game is loaded again, while type names should be the same. (svn:r3593, svn:r4343)
  • Implement automatic recursive road removal. When a player holds down Ctrl when ordering (or confirming, if applicable) the removal of flag or road, do a recursive removal. If a road removal command is given with the recursive option, all roads between the start and end flags are removed. Then those flags that become dead ends are removed recursively. A flag is a dead end if it does not have a building and roads to at most 1 other flag. (svn:r3591)
  • Make immovable animation times random. (svn:r3635)
  • Implement natural reproduction for trees. Instead of just growing up and then idling forever, they seed new trees and eventually die. Dead trees disappear after a while. Different tree species have different advantages on different terrain types. This makes it possible for several tree species to survive by occupying different niches. Increase the working radius of woodcutters/lumberjacks from 8 to 10. This makes it easier to cover large areas with a few of them. This is now recommended to keep an area clear of trees. (svn:r3591, svn:r3610, svn:r3735, svn:r3786, svn:r3828)
  • Forbid immovable programs to have transform commands that replace an immovable with one of the same type. (svn:r3647)
  • Get rid of line numbers in immovable programs. (svn:r3591)
  • In the worker list window of productionsites; if a worker is missing, show "(vacant)" if the request for it is open and "(coming)" if the request is in transfer. (svn:r3591)
  • Create a few different player initializations and allow choosing one for each player when the game is configured. The default initialization is a headquarters with the usual set of wares/workers/soldiers, so the default behaviour is unchanged. There is another player initialization called castle_village that creates a castle (or citadell, depending on tribe) and a village around it with a warehouse loaded with some wares/workers/soldiers and some basic production and training buildings. (svn:r3629)
  • Do not automatically create a headquarters for each player in scenarios. This must now be done explicitly with events. Change the existing scenarios accordingly (and use new headquarter graphics in some of them). (svn:r3591, svn:r3617, svn:r3737, svn:r4249, svn:r4299)
  • Implemented logic for finding a suitable location for a building that will be created with an event. (svn:r3629)
  • When a warehouse is created through an event, allow configuring exactly how many of each type of ware, worker and soldier that should be created with the warehouse. (svn:r3591)
  • When a productionsite is created through an event, allow configuring exactly which of the wares and workers that should be created with the productionsite. (svn:r3591, svn:r3630)
  • When a military-/trainingsite is created through an event, allow configuring exactly how many soldiers at each combination of strength levels that should be created with the site. (svn:r3628, svn:r3629)
  • The builder does no longer enter the building and see the surroundings for a moment when he has completed the construction. Instead he leaves directly. (svn:r3590)
  • Added new portrait pictures for the campaign maps (svn:r3581, svn:r3632)
  • Allow multiple AI implementations (svn:r3574)
  • Implement a debug console and add a "switchplayer" command (svn:r3573, svn:r4370, svn:r4371)
  • Fix bug that the back buttons in the campaign selection UI had the wrong background. (svn:r3619)
  • Improvements of full screen menu UI (svn:r3579, svn:r3581)
  • Make fullscreen menus dynamic resizable. Now the menus use the same resolution as the whole game. Still the resolution must be saved in the config, so it is not yet possible to resize via mouse.
  • Clean up menu design, make some menus more straight and intuitive and follow the same alignment in similar menus.
  • Add note to intro screen, so players are not confused anymore, whether Widelands is still loading.
  • Introduce config option and commandline parameter "ui_font". This option allows the user, to use a different font in the fullscreen menus, which can be quite important if the resolution is very low and the serif font is nearly unreadable. Besides a path to a TTF file relative to /fonts/ the values "sans" and "serif" are accepted. If an invalid parameter was given Widelands falls back to UI_FONT_NAME.
  • Made the minimap remember its display options during the session (svn:r3572)
  • Implemented generation of browsable HTML from game data. (svn:r3548)
  • Made it possible to define a default target quantity for a ware type and set target quantities in the game. (svn:r3543)
  • Made Ctrl+S bring up the save game dialog in both gameplay and replay. Added save button in replay watcher. (svn:r3542)
  • Fixed Trigger_Time (and replaced Trigger_Null with it). Introduced Event_Set_Timer. (svn:r3541, svn:r4485)

Build 13

  • Count casualties/kills, military/civilian buildings lost/defeated and present them in the general statistics menu (except for civilian buildings defeated, which is omitted from the user interface) (svn:r3395, svn:r3407).
  • Improved map options menu (svn:r3328).
  • Improved progresswindow use and added new loading screens (svn:r3249, svn:r3253, svn:r3275, svn:r3315, svn:r3316).
  • Added menu for editor to the mainmenu (svn:r3248).
  • Improved save game dialog (svn:r3185, svn:r3189).
  • Improved mapselect and launchgame menu (svn:r3243, svn:r3246, svn:r3247, svn:r3283, svn:r3290).
  • Improved ingame UI (svn:r3224).
  • Implemented "/me" command for multiplayer chat (svn:r3223).
  • Improved multiplayermenu (svn:r3218, svn:r3260, svn:r3261, svn:r3288, svn:r3289).
  • Improved optionsmenu and added possibility to set autosave interval (svn:r3215).
  • Implemented option for maximum FPS to reduce CPU-usage (svn:r3210, svn:r3213, svn:r3214, svn:r3215, svn:r3220).
  • Improved editor new map dialog (svn:r3172, svn:r3331).
  • Make automatic roadbuilding mode after creation of non-connected flag optional (svn:r3177).
  • Improved production program handling (svn:r3373, svn:r3384):
  • Eliminate the need for line numbers in the programs.
  • Fix bug that the consume command required that all wares in a consume-group must be of the same type. For example the command "2=consume smoked_fish,smoked_meat 2" required 2 smoked_fish or 2 smoked_meat. Now it will also work if there is only one of each.
  • Change the syntax of a consume-group to ware1[,ware2[,...]][:quantitiy] (for example "smoked_fish,smoked_meat:2").
  • Extend the consume command to take any number of consume-groups (for example smoked_fish,smoked_meat:2 bread:2"). This means that unless all consume-groups can be satisfied, nothing is consumed when the command fails. This will fix many bugs in the game data where programs had for example "2=consume smoked_fish,smoked_meat 2" and "3=consume bread 2". If there was not 2 bread, it would consume 2 smoked_fish or 2 smoked_meat and then fail.
  • Get rid of the command check. It was only a work-around for the previously deficient command consume (and some programs forgot to use it).
  • Implement the new command return. It can return from a program. There are 3 different return values; Failed, Completed and Skipped. Only programs returning Failed and Completed will affect statistics. A program that reaches the end will be considered to have implicitly returned Completed. The return command can optionally take a condition. Currently only two conditions are supported; "economy needs ware_type" and "workers need experience". The former will allow a program to have a command "return=skipped unless economy needs marblecolumn". It will prevent Game Over as a result of a production deadlock on marble when a user forgets to turn off a stonemason for a while. This fixes the huge problem with production deadlocks that hit every new player in their first games and every experienced player once in a while. The condition makes a query to the economy, which now simply checks if there is no warehouse supplies the ware type. This can of course be made much smarter later. The latter is used in the barbarian micro-brewery to let it practice making beer until the brewer has become a master_brewer even if the economy does not need any beer.
  • Extend the produce command to take any number of ware types with quantities.
  • Fix the call command to validate that the called program exists. This requires changing declaration order in some data files (for example if "work" calls "seed", "program=seed" must come before "program=work" in the "global" section of the productionsite definition. (However the definition order of the programs does not matter.) This fixes the bug that a call command may fail at run-time because the called program does not exist.
  • Extend the call command with an optional error handling specification (call= [on failure {ignore|repeat|fail}]). It will make it possible to ignore a failure of a called program and continue the calling program, or repeat the failed program until it succeeds.
  • Extend the sleep and animate commands. If no duration is given as the last parameter, the return value from a previous action is used for duration. This makes it possible to for example let the mining command calculate how long the following sleep/animation should last, depending on ore concentration and mining depth.
  • Get rid of the set command and the associated catch and nostats flags.
  • Fix the mine command to parse and validate its parameters at parse-time instead of at run-time. This fixes the bug that the game engine could fail with the message "Should mine resource , which does not exist in world. Tribe is not compatible with world!!" at run-time the first time a mining command is executed.
  • Fix most other commands that had insufficient validation or did parsing at run-time (for example the consume command reparsed its wares at each execution).
  • Optimize the parsing by eliminating needless string copying.
  • Rename the building property "enhance_to" to "enhancement" and validate that the given building type exists (svn:r3373).
  • Improved editor handling of bobs and animals, so they can not be placed on invalid locations (svn:r3319, svn:r3321).
  • Implemented loading of savegames in multi player (svn:r3266, svn:r3270, svn:r3271)
  • Only allow attacking seen buildings (svn:r3173).
  • Improved computer player behaviour (svn:r3209).
  • Update and cleanup of tribes economies (svn:r3202, svn:r3203, svn:r3204, svn:r3205, svn:r3206, svn:r3207, svn:r3211, svn:r3237, svn:r3239, svn:r3241, svn:r3257, svn:r3258, svn:r3269, svn:r3272, svn:r3294, svn:r3307).
  • Introduced automatic update of Campaign-list via campaign-menu (svn:r3197, svn:r3198).
  • Added a new in game song
  • Added global objects usable in every world (svn:r3308, svn:r3310, svn:r3311).
  • Added 12 new maps (9 from map contest) (svn:r3226, svn:r3298, svn:r3305).
  • Added atlantean building graphics (svn:r3278, svn:r3295, svn:r3300, svn:r3309, and many more).
  • Added a lot of new sounds and integrated them in the game (svn:r3231, svn:r3232, svn:r3415, svn:r3419, svn:r3439).
  • Rework of campaign missions (svn:r3228, svn:r3233, svn:r3236, svn:r3242).
  • Fix bugs in parsing of building types's buildcosts and inputs. Check that the ware types exist and are not duplicated and that the quantities are within range (svn:r3373).
  • Fix bug in parsing of productionsite types' outputs. Check that the ware types exist and are not duplicated (svn:r3373).
  • Fix bugs in parsing of productionsite types', critter_bob types' and worker types' programs. If a program was declared twice, it was parsed twice and the memory used to store the first instance was leaked (svn:r3373).
  • Fixed bugs with drop-soldier commands: If such a command was given and then the game was saved before the command was executed (because the game was paused), the command was saved incorrectly (svn:r3451, svn:r3456). And even if the savegame would have had such a command correctly saved, the loading code would not have recognized it (svn:r3456).
  • Removed the trainingsite options window. The "Make heros" button was suspected of being able to cause desync in network games (svn:r3452).
  • Fixed bugs that attack, change-soldier-capacity and set-ware-priority commands were not recognized when encountered in savegames (svn:r3454, svn:r3456, svn:r3455).
  • Fixed bug that set-ware-priority commands were saved as enhance-building commands (svn:r3455).
  • Change game rule: Forbid upgrading any building to any type of building. Only allow upgrading to one of the defined enhancements. This is the behaviour that was intended and that the user interface obeys. Now also the game logic enforces it. This prevents users from circumventing the user interface and do arbitrary building upgrades, which other players may consider cheating in a network game (svn:r3457).
  • Fix program crash (or worse) when a worker type was declared to have an ingredient that had not been defined (svn:r3459).
  • Forbid declaring that a building can be enhanced to its own type or the special type constructionsite (svn:r3460, svn:r3461).
  • Do not let the constructionsite crash the game if a building type did not define a build animation. Use the idle animation instead (svn:r3462).
  • Do not crash because of division by 0 when building a building without buildcost (svn:r3462).
  • When building a building without buildcost, complete it immediately instead of never (svn:r3462).
  • Check for mine and size mismatch when parsing building enhancement definitions. This prevents crashes at run-time (svn:r3463).
  • Fixed bug #1792379 - little trees set with editor do not grow (svn:r3317).
  • Fixed bug #1913902 - collosseum now trains evade 0 and 1 (svn:r3303).
  • Fixed bug that upgraded worker were used in buildings instead of training new simple ones (svn:r3304).
  • Fixed crossplatform network bug (win32 path on unix) (svn:r3293, svn:r3427, svn:r3429).
  • Fixed disk_filesystem handling on win32(svn:r3284, svn:r3285, svn:r3286, svn:r3287, svn:r3291).
  • Fixed strange, unwanted behaviour of multilined editboxes (svn:r3281, svn:r3282).
  • Fixed loading of settlers 2 maps in widelands (svn:r3234, svn:r3235, svn:r3238, svn:r3250).
  • Fixed bug that caused segmentation fault when executing./widelands --editor=nonexistent_file (svn:r3335).
  • Fixed bug that caused segmentation fault when executing./widelands --scenario=nonexistent_file (svn:r3336).
  • Fixed bug that caused invalid use of uninitialized memory when an animation configuration defined playercolor=true but a mask file was missing (svn:r3347).
  • Fixed bug #1968196 - Scenario-maps are not loaded as one (svn:r3227).
  • Fixed bug #1900477 - Objectives description are not translated and objective names are not included in PO templates (svn:r3225, svn:r3229).
  • Fixed hotspots of animals (svn:r3170).
  • Fixed editor height tool dialogs (svn:r3171).
  • Fixed language-settings-menu for Linux - now Widelands sets system-language-variable correctly (svn:r3193, svn:r3252, svn:r3262).
  • Fixed bug that prevented releasing the last soldier from a trainingsite (svn:r3179).
  • Fixed memory access errors in the game logic, causing segmentation fault or any kind of strange undefined behaviour (svn:r3184, svn:r3365).
  • Fixed bug that the game would abort if an attacking soldier could not find a path to the target (svn:r3382).
  • Fixed memory access error in save game dialog (svn:r3185).
  • Fixed many memory access errors when trying to read missing sections in configuration files (svn:r3195).
