As things have mostly settled down to rediscoveries of fixed bugs,
|
||||
it is time to distribute the first batch of patches and ports.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
NOTICE: The diffs comprising this update batch were cut on NetHack 3.0
|
||||
release version. If you modified any of your files, store them
|
||||
and replace with release version files before applying this kit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Changes made:
|
||||
|
||||
Eric Smith provided a port to the Atari using gcc; the older Lattice C
|
||||
vestiges moved to different preprocessor options and remain untested.
|
||||
|
||||
Ralf Brown adapted NetHack to the Andrew File System.
|
||||
|
||||
The fruit naming code was enclosed in a new option, TUTTI_FRUTTI, which
|
||||
allows another 3K of object code to be defined out.
|
||||
|
||||
Various tweaks, rewritings, and reshufflings to get the code to get along
|
||||
with various compilers and preprocessors, including Microport SysV/AT 2.4,
|
||||
Gould UTX/32, HP-UX, and of course Turbo C.
|
||||
|
||||
Various suggested changes in behavior, none major.
|
||||
|
||||
Distribution of termcap.uu, the uuencoded termcap.arc for PCs that was
|
||||
previously distributed with NetHack 2.2 and 2.3.
|
||||
|
||||
Explicit instructions to short-circuit common installation mistakes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Bug fixes:
|
||||
|
||||
Various segmentation faults no longer exist, including the popular dropping
|
||||
items in shops.
|
||||
|
||||
Vortices can no longer disappear through solid walls when they disgorge you
|
||||
over a moat.
|
||||
|
||||
You now get credit for food when engulfing monsters.
|
||||
|
||||
A few more spelling errors that fell through the cracks.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Suggestion for overflowing compiler tables: follow the SysV-AT trail in the
|
||||
src Makefile with -DDUMB and DUMB.Setup. It appears that many SVR2 3Bs will
|
||||
need to do this.

UPDATE2
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
This patch kit upgrades NetHack to version 3.0f. The kit should
|
||||
be applied to the original release, patched with patchlevel 1.
|
||||
|
||||
Many of the diffs included here are bugfixes to bugs reported to
|
||||
us by players. We are very grateful for these reports.
|
||||
|
||||
There were questions about our netnews usage. We use the good
|
||||
offices of comp.sources.games because, unlike rec.games.hack, it
|
||||
is archived. It is the only way to secure the availability of
|
||||
the source code and the official patches for future users. For
|
||||
this reason, comp.sources.games will remain the only place where
|
||||
the official NetHack patches are posted.
|
||||
|
||||
Occasionally we may see a need to post a semi-official stopgap patch
|
||||
such as the one for the 'killer' bug posted just after Patch 1 in
|
||||
rec.games.hack and in comp.sources.games.bugs. These stopgap patches
|
||||
will always be included in the next official patch kit. The 'killer'
|
||||
bugfix is, indeed, included here.
|
||||
|
||||
The above two newsgroups often contain many bug reports and unofficial
|
||||
fixes. We read these groups, and thus we get the reports. But it
|
||||
will be helpful if you mailed nethack-bugs a copy of your posting.
|
||||
If your site gets these newsgroups, you may want to check them for
|
||||
mentions of bugs before reporting the same bug to nethack-bugs (or
|
||||
to the same newsgroups, for that matter -- unless you have additional
|
||||
information).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Now, on to the main changes.
|
||||
|
||||
Objects were rearranged slightly, so the cautious may want to throw
|
||||
out saved games and bones files.
|
||||
|
||||
Timo Hakulinen provided an OS/2 port.
|
||||
|
||||
Various people convinced various OS versions to be better about
|
||||
sensing the available screen size at start-up.
|
||||
|
||||
The game tries now to be smarter about guessing defaults for players
|
||||
who don't set environment variables of interest to NetHack.
|
||||
|
||||
Eric Raymond extended the PC color code slightly to allow its use by
|
||||
SVR3.2 machines with color information from terminfo, and also allowed
|
||||
many extended commands to be available via a meta key under SYSV.
|
||||
|
||||
Paul Gyugyi provided a better makefile for MicroSoft C.
|
||||
|
||||
The MSDOS terminal problems, including always needing TERMLIB, are
|
||||
(hopefully) fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
The '/' command now allows multiple identifications, and more things
|
||||
may be usefully identified.
|
||||
|
||||
More code was shuffled and rewritten to satisfy compiler and preprocessor
|
||||
constraints.
|
||||
|
||||
Starving dogs again eat people food.
|
||||
|
||||
Credit cards can no longer lock things.
|
||||
|
||||
Doors have been toned down slightly, but are in no danger of being removed.
|
||||
|
||||
The gods' ranking of player troubles was revised.
|
||||
|
||||
Wizards can no longer start with certain useless items.
|
||||
|
||||
Various code, including game ending, seduction, and monster attack, is
|
||||
considerably cleaner.
|
||||
|
||||
Above all: scores of bugs were fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Please continue testing the game and reporting to nethack-bugs. Your
|
||||
response has been wonderful, and it has made this effort worth while.

From: Izchak Miller <izchak@linc.cis.upenn.edu>
|
||||
|
||||
The main changes included in patch kit 3 are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
A few new objects were added to objects.c, so old save/bones files
|
||||
should be thrown out.
|
||||
|
||||
Prototypes were adapted to satisfy ANSI C. Hopefully, we will not see
|
||||
anymore postings which helpfully fix prototypes for ANSI, while breaking
|
||||
them for the MSDOS compilers they were, originally, set up for.
|
||||
|
||||
Use of $(MAKE), and a better use of $PAGER, in scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
Improvements to OS/2 and TOS code, including their Makefiles.
|
||||
|
||||
Graphics setting was centralized.
|
||||
|
||||
Alignment was added to artifacts, and their suitability was improved.
|
||||
|
||||
Discover mode games no longer use up bones files.
|
||||
|
||||
Some excess 'register's that were giving Xenix trouble were removed.
|
||||
|
||||
We settled an (amusing) argument over "rights" to available bits which
|
||||
was responsible (unintentionally) for ring-wielding bestowing
|
||||
long-lasting intrinsic attributes.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, many bugs were fixed. Among those were the problems
|
||||
with polymorphing creatures that swallowed you, finishing with
|
||||
containers, having chains eaten, external pagers, statue weights, wishing
|
||||
loopholes, parsing endgame options, and monsters growing up.
|
||||
|
||||
In other words, this is a nuts and bolts patch, nothing dramatic but
|
||||
lots of cleanup.

UPDATE4
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
NOTICE: The changes which were made in the code make all save and bones
|
||||
files absolete. Once Patch 4 is applied, all the old save and bones files
|
||||
must be thrown out.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a list of the main changes:
|
||||
|
||||
Object and monster types got a new field specifying their color, so things
|
||||
can now appear in "living color" instead having one color for all monsters,
|
||||
one for all weapons, and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
References to monsters and objects on the floor were moved to new structures,
|
||||
which support the better color handling as well as provide yet faster access.
|
||||
|
||||
David Gentzel provided a port for VMS. Although extensively tested by
|
||||
David and others, and found to be sound, it probably needs further
|
||||
refinements. We are appealing to those of you who know VMS (none of us
|
||||
does..) to join David in his efforts to refine the VMS code.
|
||||
|
||||
Much of the *main.c code was moved to a new file, to avoid having to update
|
||||
that common code in three different *main.c files.
|
||||
|
||||
VARARG handling was ifdef'd to satisfy ANSI compilers.
|
||||
|
||||
Almost all grey creatures now join the other gray creatures.
|
||||
|
||||
Monsters will no longer be created in the same room as the player, and should
|
||||
no longer want to end up in the SE corner of the dungeon.
|
||||
|
||||
Lycanthropy is now considered a "major problem" (allowing for appeal to the
|
||||
gods through prayer), some artifacts are associated with particular character
|
||||
classes, various oddities involving statues, digging, iron balls, and
|
||||
throwing have been removed, and many other bugs, both major and minor, were
|
||||
fixed.

|
||||
Old bones and save files should at least be syntactically correct this time,
|
||||
but you should still throw them out if you don't want to be confronted with
|
||||
monsters permanently masquerading as different monsters (since some of the
|
||||
monsters' letters have changed).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the posted shop fix was a stopgap patch, not an official patch, so
|
||||
it should be reversed before applying these patches. If you do not reverse
|
||||
it, probably nothing worse than a failure of one shk.c band will happen this
|
||||
time. In general, however, you will have to do considerable hand-patching if
|
||||
you leave intermediate patches in.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The major bug fix in Patch 5 is moving the color definitions to color.h, thus
|
||||
breaking the annoying dependency loop when bootstrapping NetHack.
|
||||
|
||||
Patch 5 contains Johnny Lee's provision of a port to the Macintosh. The
|
||||
Macintosh files live in a new subdirectory, 'mac'. We know that many of you
|
||||
were waiting for a Mac port, and for you we are happy to have it.
|
||||
|
||||
Basic support for several new other compilers or machines (see README), but
|
||||
these probably need some more tweaking.
|
||||
|
||||
A major new feature in Patch 5 is timed-out eating, i.e., being able to be
|
||||
interrupted while eating by monsters attack. Mike Stephenson provided the
|
||||
basic structure for dealing with partially eaten food. We believe that the
|
||||
only remaining flaws in this code are occasional non-optimal messages which
|
||||
are generated by it (we are working on correcting this).
|
||||
|
||||
Incorrect iron ball behavior and bugs in the iron ball code were
|
||||
systematically corrected by Kevin Darcy who communicated with us about it
|
||||
and mailed us his patches. (Yes, Kevin, as you can see, it went in, and
|
||||
with only one minor change.)
|
||||
|
||||
There were other, smaller, patches which were mailed to us and which were
|
||||
implemented. To repeat: we are very happy to receive bug-fixing patches
|
||||
and code-enhancement patches. But please do as Kevin did, namely, tell us
|
||||
about it in advance.
|
||||
|
||||
Difficulties with dropping objects in shops, burning to death in hell,
|
||||
wielding amulets, pets eating corpses were fixed. So were scores of other
|
||||
small but annoying bugs.
|
||||
|
||||
MICROPORT_BUG was added to cater to compilers that don't like large
|
||||
structures.

This patch contains two major improvements:
|
||||
|
||||
First, thanks to Ari Huttunen, different door states show up as different
|
||||
(configurable) characters on the screen.
|
||||
|
||||
Second, doors can now be entered/exited diagonally both for player and
|
||||
monster.
|
||||
|
||||
Third, a gaggle of people credited in the appropriate files developed an
|
||||
overlay manager for MS-DOS and MSC such that all the options of NetHack can
|
||||
be supported. See Install.dos and ovlmgr.* for further details.

||||
|
||||
You no longer have to pick up food to eat it, and you no longer necessarily
|
||||
resume eating your interrupted meal.
|
||||
|
||||
You can no longer get properties from wielding a non-weapon.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a new option, CLIPPING, which allows playing on small screens or
|
||||
windows.
|
||||
|
||||
The multiple demon types portion of HARD has been split off into the new
|
||||
INFERNO option.
|
||||
|
||||
The Macintosh port has been further refined.
|
||||
|
||||
The / command now takes configurable characters into account when identifying
|
||||
items.
|
||||
|
||||
Leprechauns and lichs and nymphs and nagas had their letters switched so that
|
||||
the more formidable monsters get capital letters. Several new low-level
|
||||
monsters were added.
|
||||
|
||||
Drawbridge interactions are much smarter, thanks to Kevin Darcy.
|
||||
|
||||
And a large number of minor bug fixes and efficiency enhancements.

Sorry this one took so long. We think just about every computer and network
|
||||
we depend on has broken sometime in last few weeks.
|
||||
|
||||
Work on the PC overlay mechanism continues, with Kevin Smolkowski joining
|
||||
Pierre Martineau, Stephen Spackman, and Norm Meluch. Breaking each .c file
|
||||
into separately-swapped pieces should help performance considerably. More
|
||||
changes to the overlay manager are brewing, and will be distributed in the
|
||||
unfortunately required Patch 8.
|
||||
|
||||
The Amiga port was brought up to date and extended by Richard Addison,
|
||||
Jochen Erwied, Mark Gooderum, Ken Lorber, Greg Olson, Mike Passaretti, and
|
||||
Gregg Wonderly.
|
||||
|
||||
The Macintosh port was futher extended by Kevin Sitze, Andy Swanson, Jon
|
||||
Watte, and Tom West, working with Johnny Lee.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for recent versions of HP-UX was added by Steve Creps.
|
||||
|
||||
We believe all major various platforms and compilers are working properly now.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In other news, '/' now distinguishes among monsters of a given class, named
|
||||
objects (including artifacts) are handled better, an extended version command
|
||||
gives compilation options, monster colors should show up better, more
|
||||
occupations are being stopped appropriately, unconscious and non-animal
|
||||
monsters are handled better, and the eating behavior and ending messages have
|
||||
been overhauled again.
|
||||
|
||||
Various display nuisances have been fixed and the "worm segment", "nymph
|
||||
freeinv", and combined nymph/succubus/polymorphing bugs are gone, along with
|
||||
a large number of less notorious problems. A few more fun loopholes no longer
|
||||
exist.
|
||||
|
||||
In all, we think this is the stablest and most balanced version yet.

Subject: UPDATE8
|
||||
Status: O
|
||||
|
||||
This patch is devoted to bugfixes and accommodations for more versions of
|
||||
the newer ports.
|
||||
|
||||
The VMS port should now compile with both VAXC and GNUC and install more
|
||||
easily under a variety of OS versions, thanks to Joshua Delahunty and Pat
|
||||
Rankin.
|
||||
|
||||
A number of strange interactions in the Macintosh-specific code have been
|
||||
cleaned up.
|
||||
|
||||
The MSDOS overlay manager was debugged, and the overlay assignments and macro
|
||||
names straightened out, so the result should be both faster and more stable
|
||||
than previous versions. See the new file Install.ovl and various files in
|
||||
the others directory for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
The Amiga port now specifies addressing modes for many external variables,
|
||||
which should make its executable smaller and faster as well.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The biggest externally visible change separates DECgraphics and IBMgraphics
|
||||
from the general graphics-setting code, and makes them selectable on the
|
||||
command line.
|
||||
|
||||
Once again, existing saved games and bones files should be discarded (or the
|
||||
update postponed until they are gone).
|
||||
|
||||
A number of reasonably simple bugs are no more, although some screen update
|
||||
oddities are postponed to 3.1. Among the dead are problems with shops on
|
||||
bones levels, renaming artifacts, kicking non-objects, winning gem treatment,
|
||||
level bounds checking and monster filling, mimic appearances, taking items
|
||||
out of containers, monster interiors and inventories, and guard behavior.
|
||||
Various other things were changed to be consistent with similar situations.

Patchlevel 9 is in fact an amendment patch to Patchlevel 8. It
|
||||
contains fixes to some deadly bugs discovered thus far in the Pl8
|
||||
code.
|
||||
|
||||
Among the bugs fixed are a 0 dereference bug in the Amiga code, a
|
||||
bug in the tins code, a bug in the inventory weight code, a level
|
||||
files bug in the Mac code, an ST display bug, a bug in the maze's
|
||||
bones level, a bug with chest traps, a bug in the restoring code, a
|
||||
vault guard bug, a PC collapsing dungeon bug, and other more minor
|

bugs.

UPDATE10
|
||||
|
||||
Patch 10 to NetHack 3.0 adds no new features, and few optimizations.
|
||||
It fixes many mostly rare bugs and extends support to a couple more
|
||||
system variants.
|
||||
|
||||
The major change with this patch is that the MSDOS overlay manager is
|
||||
now bright enough to split up one logical executable among several disk
|
||||
files, thus simplifying distribution via floppies since each file can
|
||||
be <360K. Entering debugging mode for the Macintosh is simplified.
|
||||
There are provisions for later versions of several compilers, although
|
||||
not yet Turbo C++, as we have not gotten an executable with adequate
|
||||
performance (see Install.ovl for gory details).
|
||||
|
||||
NetHack should now get along better with Irises, IBM RS/6000s, NeXTs,
|
||||
and possibly even SCO UNIX.
|
||||
|
||||
Among the dead bugs are those involving artifact damage, VMS file
|
||||
manipulation, crushed iron balls, elven equipment, orcs with 2^32-1
|
||||
daggers, trolls with ridiculously high hitpoints, exploding bags of
|
||||
holding on the ground, inappropriate messages, saved luck, unbounded
|
||||
digging on special levels, and several distinct trap problems.
