Details:
/* This defines the maximum linear size in _map_ coordinates.
* This must be smaller than 255 because of the way coordinates are sent
* across the network. */
#define MAP_DEFAULT_LINEAR_SIZE 64
#define MAP_MAX_LINEAR_SIZE 512
#define MAP_MIN_LINEAR_SIZE 16
The max size is clearly bigger than 255.
I'm pretty sure the comment is no longer true. On S2_2 (pre patch #1731),
coordinates were generally sent as COORD X,Y where COORD=uint8. Now they're
sent as TILE=sint32 (indices rather than coordinates).
/* Size of the map in thousands of tiles. Setting the maximal size over
* than 30 is dangerous, because some parts of the code (e.g. path finding)
* assume the tile index is of type (signed short int). */
#define MAP_DEFAULT_SIZE 4
#define MAP_MIN_SIZE 0
#define MAP_MAX_SIZE 128
I'm less sure about this one. Clearly, if it were still true, that would be a
bug in S2_3. In patch #1731 I see a change to path_finding.c that might be
sufficient to make the comment invalid.
I'll remove these comments soon unless someone pipes up.
Are there any new comments we want here about map size constraints? The most
obvious one is that tile indices can't exceeed 2^31, due to the definition of
TILE in packets.def. Anyone know of other constraints?
