AICompany.SetCompanyColor("pink")

[Hephi]

Hey guys,

I can't seem to find the NOAI command to set the company colour although it 'should' exist because it's a value you can change inside the game.
Any pointers? I've searched API and forum but couldn't find a topic about it. Thx

Doesn't look like it exists (yet): http://noai.openttd.org/api/trunk/classAICompany.html

I remember that this has been suggested before and docummented in the API extension suggestions thread.

Mainly I think this has been left out because it does not really affect anything in the game. That said, I think if someone comes up with an implementation of the API that will increase the chance of it being added. I think It's just that the AI API developers haven't found this feature worth the effort.

Correct.

This interests me
Which files in the source code would i have to edit to implement these functions? (In a patch)

[Yexo]

At least ai_company.hpp and ai_company.cpp. If I could be bothered to check if you need to change any more files I'd have already implemented it.

Hmm.

Me and no-experience with c++ means that i am unable to complete this patch on my own.

My problems are understanding the p1 and p2 of the AIObject::DoCommand() function. i have looked at the main DoCommandP() and the documentation and other implementations of company colour change, but i can't seem to understand how to do it

For example, line 798 of company_gui.cpp has this:

Code: Select all

DoCommandP(0, scheme | (widget == SCLW_WIDGET_PRI_COL_DROPDOWN ? 0 : 256), index, CMD_SET_COMPANY_COLOUR);

From what i can tell, an extra parameter has been shoved in with p1 with the '|' operator, and the first half of p1 has something to do with bits

Help please?

Also, i notice that there are xxxxxxxxx.hpp.sq files. Do i need to edit them as well?
