This file refuses to compile with the zip file with these changes applied. It doesn't like the declaration of sint32 in c3types.h, and says that max isn't a member of std, even though c3.h looks proper.

Strange. I have tested the debug, release, and final versions, and these all work for me with MSVC 6.0.

Maybe it will work if you do a full rebuild (Rebuild All instead of Build). There have been a lot of changes in the generated database record files lately. This may sometimes cause these kind of problems with pre-compiler headers.

The sint32 typedef is so elementary, that it is almost impossible to cause problems, unless we have messed it up with mismatching preprocessor or comment blocks. Are you compiling with any special predefined symbols?

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Nope, I was compiling everything in the usual way. What it didn't like was a cast to sint32 that was used it one place. Anyway, as I've said in another thread, my compiler seems to be odd today, the version I can compile (without your changes) still behaves oddly and gives tons of assertion errors.

I may do it all freshly tomorrow...

Extremely useful to run it with this command argument, saves the hassle with asserts you don't want to see when running the debug version .

Bug fix: prevent crash when loading a saved game.

ai\diplomacy\diplomat.cpp
Do not interpret sizes as negative numbers when loading a file.

Solver: unfortunately, this command line argument also prevents the asserts I want to see . Did rebuilding help? The only other thing I can think of is checking the include file order change.

Yep, but with the many annoying assert faults, I find it much easier to just plonk the command in. I typically use output to the debug logfile for checking what I need...

Was so happy that I got the code to build & compile that I haven't done a rebuild yet with your code. I think I'm going to do that though now...

News: a rebuild all won't work with it either. There are also some errors concerning functions usage of which doesn't match their declarations... I'll just wait for the next ALL zip file with changes to update the codebase.

..\ctp2_code\ai\CityManagement\governor.cpp
..\ctp2_code\ai\CityManagement\governor.h
Removed an error the should terraform logic and added an assert when the terrain effect is invalid, just wonder why the could be an invalid terrain effect. And removed the non fully utilization penalty for food improvements of ring one cities.

..\ctp2_code\robot\pathing\CityAstar.cpp
Updated road path generation, roads now follow the lowest PW costs instead of the move costs of that terrain. If the given tile has already a road improvement then reduced costs are used in order to make the path follow the already existing road. The roads path can now go trough foreign terrain but the path costs for that are very high so that such paths are only chose if there is no other route.

..\ctp2_code\gs\dbgen\Datum.cpp

Updated the database generator and exposed the percent of costs for tiles with roads already there for the road path generation.

	Army Movement Update 1.3 Enter the AD-FREE zone

2004.10.7 Army Movement Update 1.3

ctp2_code\ai\strategy\agents\CTPAgent.cpp
Changed the rounds calculation method (not based on default mouvement cost (100),
but based on the minimum cost between start and destination points)

ctp2_code\ai\strategy\goals\CTPgoal.cpp
Correct minor bugs :
- Allow incursion permission to stealth units
- Rollback the determination of check_dest (problem with special units that couldn't find their path to goal anymore
- Added other conditions to determine the RETREAT goals (and set max of 2 units per city for that goals, hardcoded (to not depend on threat)
- Corrected the determination of territory owner (not based on target, but on target's cell)
- Forbid to army with settlers to perform ATTACK or SEIGE goals
Allow Units that are grouping to both move (if they are far enough)

ctp2_code\gs\newdb\goal.cdb
ctp2_code\ai\diplomacy\Diplomat.cpp
ctp2_code\robot\pathing\RobotAstar2.cpp
Added an isStealth parameter in CharacterizeArmy method (used by STEALTH_EXPLORE goal)


ctp2_code\robot\pathing\UnitAstar.cpp
Corrected typo error in } that disabled the check danger in update 1.2
Improved the CheckForDanger Method to only consider danger if owner is Neutral or less or if it's at war

ctp2_data\default\aidata\goals.txt
ctp2_data\default\aidata\strategies.txt
Added a neversatisied flag in SEIGE Goal to always have an attacking force with 12 units.
Added a SPECIAL_RETREAT to retreat the special units too (instead of staying in enemy territory when no goals
Added SquadClass:Stealth flag (to permit the stealth units to enter territory even if there is nontreaspassing treaty)
+ minor values changes.

ctp2_data\default\gamedata\civilisation.txt

Added 18 new civilizations now they can be fully supported:

Bantu (from SAP/MM2)
Byzantine (previously inactive)

(Choices based on what was at hand and my personal preference; can be changed if needed, I'm not proud )

Note: only English city names included, localised strings still needed.

Total number of civs in the game is now at its maximum: 62 playable civs + Barbarians.

I've been trying to make a new playtest version (although kaan has now beaten me to it), but I was getting the following errors on a debug build:

I thought this might be due to a problem in Martin's changes to CityData.cpp in:
