[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #20848] Allow the user to have CMA to have no minimum surplus for a category.
Follow-up Comment #1, bug #20848 (project freeciv): These bounds appear to be determined client-side, in the code for creating the sliders in client/gui-gtk-[23].0/cma_fe.c; in the gtk-2 version on lines 327 - 328: pdialog-minimal_surplus[i] = GTK_ADJUSTMENT(gtk_adjustment_new(-20, -20, 20, 1, 1, 0)); and in the gtk-3 version probably lines 343 - 345: pdialog-minimal_surplus[i] = hscale = gtk_scale_new(GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL, NULL); gtk_range_set_range(GTK_RANGE(hscale), -20, 20); These seem to override a value of -60 for a preset defined in the cma section of ~/.freeciv-client-rc-version. Easy enough to change by themselves, but at least the Gtk-2 version won't adjust its size accordingly making precise control (such as setting a slider back to 0 after going to -50) all but impossible. I don't intend to learn gtk-2 long after it's been deprecated and I won't touch the gtk-3 one until I've upgraded my distro so I can compile it, but I hope I've pointed someone else in the right direction. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?20848 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

URL: http://gna.org/bugs/?20848 Summary: Allow the user to have CMA to have no minimum surplus for a category. Project: Freeciv Submitted by: None Submitted on: Mon 27 May 2013 07:13:44 PM UTC Category: client-gtk-3.0 Severity: 1 - Wish Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Email: pavel-free...@krivitsky.name Open/Closed: Open Release: 2.3.2 Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: Any Planned Release: ___ Details: At this time, the GTK client, and perhaps the other clients as well, force the user to set minimum surplus for each category of production to at least -20. In late-game, this makes it impossible to, e.g., have some cities subsidize others, and to have a low tax rate for Gold while using production of Coinage to make up for the deficit: the CMA will turn citizens into Taxmen (and, if this creates a food shortage, turn itself off) in order to bring the deficit up to -20. It would, therefore, be helpful if it were possible to set it to -Infinity, or to otherwise instruct the CMA to ignore it. This could be accomplished by either having the leftmost setting on the Minimum Surplus slider be -Infinity or have a checkbox next to it to control whether a Minimum Surplus should be enforced. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?20848 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
