We have started contracting code!
This has been broken down into multiple stages:
1) Create Basic GUI Framework for Request/Bidding
2) Create DB backend for requests/bids/implements
2a) Components.xml restriction for vehicle types
3) Create Military contract requests.
3a) War Time Vehicle/Engine
3b) Non-war Time
4) Create civilian contract requests.
5) View Requests
6) Submit Bid
7) AI Submit Bid
8) Contract selection
9) Process request time limits/failure penalties etc
10) View Contract's data in sales book.
As of right now we're halfway done with 3a, Wartime Contracting. When your country goes to war, it will seek out more than normal contracts for military equipment. These contracts are restricted to the nation requesting goods.
Available vehicle types for military, fleets, and civilians are now marked in the components.xml file. This will allow modders to add in things like tanks for militaries, but prevent their sale to civilians and visa versa (Doubt the Army would want a fleet of microcars!)
In other news, the Linux build has been uploaded to Steam and so far, so good! I have to change the fonts as they don't play nicely. But other than that I think we're good for a Linux launch this month!
I've also knocked out a crashing bug caused by text input, fixed a few minor text errors when generating memos.
