This so names from other clients are known valid in the client as well, instead allowing some compromised/bad server to potentially crash clients upon certain expectations.
Unfinished translations are not auto-picked from the locale.
In release builds, unfinished translations are not offered in the GUI.
Unfinished translations are available in non-release builds, or by editing openttd.cfg.
Minigraphs did not adjust size to accomodate large text, either by font size or font zoom, leading to cropped labels.
Minigraphs and spacing are now scaled by font zoom, as this seems to behave better than gui zoom in this instance.
Line height defaults to the resize height of the relevant widget, which is
set in all cases. Therefore it is not necessary to specify this value every time.
Additionally fixes scrolled padding for the framerate window.
This struct is defined in geometry_type but not used by any geometry-related
code, only for subsidy code where both parameters are cast from int to
NewsReferenceType.
Strictly seen the comment is true, as it says 'e.g.', but it is
misleading. The server name is just that: the name of the server
as configured. No need to mention advertising.
When ever you saw this debug lines (which you never should), they
showed an empty address. It is also not very useful to have, as it
always points to a known server anyway.
The original idea was that people could find a server they could
talk in their native language on. This isn't really used in that
way. There are several reasons for removing this:
- the client also sends his "language" to the server, but nothing
is doing anything with this.
- flags are a bad way to represent languages, and over the years
we had several (rightfully) complaints about this.
- most servers have their language set to "All", and prefix the
servername with the language it is about. This is a much more
efficient way to do the same.
All in all, this feature should go back to the drawing board.
Maybe it could work in another form, but this form is not it.
The idea back in the days was nice, but it never resulted in
anything useful. Most servers either read "(loaded game)" or
"Random Map", neither being useful. It was meant for heightmaps,
so you could find a server that was using a specific one .. but
there are many things wrong with that idea. Mostly, servers tend
to save and load savegames from time to time, after which the
original heightmap used was lost.
All in all, removing map_name all together is just better.
