Alright after examining the new generic military-base code I
have reached some conclusions regarding the use of S_FORTRESS
and S_AIRBASE in the editor code (off-topic rant about the
approach in general posted in PR#37356, which you can feel free
to ignore if you've heard before or just have not had time to
address the issues raised there).
Please correct me if I am wrong but the references to
S_FORTRESS and S_AIRBASE that are being objected to are in
the function get_basic_special_sprite in client/tilespec.c.
My argument is that as long as S_FORTRESS and S_AIRBASE are
a part of enum tile_special_type this reference is simply
unavoidable. Furthermore if I were to say add some manner
of conversion function (e.g. base_by_special, special_is_base)
I would have to check for this and add annoying special-case
code every time I iterate over the special types (which is
very common considering the requirements of the editor).
In any case, changes will have to be made in the future
when military-base and special handling changes; I'll be
sure to update the editor code as that is finalized.
I will however look into using the {fore,middle,back}ground
sprites more intelligently (I suppose they should be combined
into one sprite to actually make the full representative
sprite of an airbase or fortress).
