Problem compiling new version of ai_plan_research

Problem compiling new version of ai_plan_research

[Lincoln Peters]

I think that I almost have a preliminary version of the improved
ai_plan_research function.  My new version assigns value to each
available advance as follows:

1. Add 1 to its value per unit that the advance enables.
2. If it multiplies production of any material by a value greater than
1, add the multiplier to its value.
3. If it multiplies production of any material by a value less than 1,
subtract the reciprocal of the multiplier to its value.
4. If it adds production of any material to units, add that number to
the its value.

(I have not tried to make it consider the time to research because I
have not yet delved deep enough into the kernel to add the required
statistical code.)


However, once I worked out all (most?) of the bugs I'd inevitably
introduced to ai_plan_research in the process of re-writing it, I got
the following error at the end of the "make" process:

It looks like I am unable to access the functions that I need to
determine the value of an advance!

'net_set_side_research' might work better.

'ua_needed_to_build' not 'ua_advance_needed_to_build'.
Likewise with the others.
The "a" in "ua" stands for "advance".

These tables are not listed in 'kernel/table.def'. If you want to get a 
list of what is supported, then just search for "DEF_UA" and "DEF_AA" in 
that file.

Hmmm... They do appear in the documentation but not in the code. Looks 
like yet another occurance of inconsistent docs and code.

In that case, I'll comment out this part of the code until these tables
are implemented.

Research of Advances and SDL UI Improvements

I'll comment out the [ir]relevant documentation.

During my work on implementing unit research and side research support 
in the SDL interface, I discovered that unit research appears to be 
broken/unsupported in the kernel. Only side research appears to work. 
So, there seems to be a lot of little things broken regarding advances.

I just need to do a couple more tweaks to the SDL interface and then I 
think I'll be ready to provide a new prerelease for download. Quite a 
few bugfixes, and some improvements. Here is a sampling:
(1) Prompts for things like saving the game, choosing a build location, 
etc... now appear in the mouseover panel so that there is some indicator 
when the interface is in a "mode" and expecting an user response. (Note 
that the game does not actually save yet, but it pretends to, so that 
one can quit without loss of face (resignation).)
(2) Prefix args are accepted and apply to unit action buttons 
(construct, develop, change type, research) as is relevant 
(construction), as well as the keyboard commands. The mouseover panel 
displays the number of times a construction task will try to execute 
(from doctrine or prefix arg).
(3) If a prefix arg is not specified then the construction buttons 
indicate (via the mouseover panel) the construction run length provided 
by the doctrine (or 1, failing that).
(4) Unit research is supported, but presently useless (see above).
(5) Side research is supported.
(6) Clicking on a cell in which to construct now works correctly. 
Previously, the coords of the target cell were not being picked up.
(7) The title of the window is now of the form, "Xconq - <Game Title> - 
<Side Name> - <Turn Number>" and the taskbar caption is of the form, 
"Xconq - <Game Title>".
Etc, etc....

Hopefully, I'll make it available tomorrow or Thursday evening. After 
that, I will try to finish filling out the other possible unit action 
buttons: delay, skip, sleep, join formation, leave formation, gather 
materials, take needed materials from unit in range, resume stagnant 
build on unit in range, repair unit in range, give needed materials to 
unit in range, help build on unit in range, etc.... In survey mode, 
other possible buttons would include: cancel plan, wake, etc....

That much worked; I figured it out shortly after I sent the e-mail.

That sort of makes sense (I'd assumed that the names of the functions in
the C code would be identical to the associated GDL tables, aside from
prefixes such as "ua" and the use of underscores instead of dashes).  It
fixed some but not all of the errors.  Se below:

One thing I do notice about the remaining errors is that they all
involve parts of the code that are (supposed to be) implemented but are
not used in any existing game modules.  Could that have something to do
with the errors?

I think that some code exists for diplomatic functions, but either it
was never fully implemented or it never worked in the first place.

The agreements code is currently commented out for some reason or 
another. Hopefully, this will be reenabled or reimplemented at 
some point down the road. I'm not going to volunteer to do it, 
because of so many other Xconq-related commitments that I have 
made.
