(Reported by Doug Rudoff - doug@wiley)
|
||||
|
||||
various files Fixed typos. Also converted British English words to
|
||||
American English for uniformity. (Original list of typos
|
||||
submitted by Steve Creps - creps@silver)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
New Features
|
||||
------------
|
||||
1) New flags in "config.h" (some of these were included in 1.4f):
|
||||
|
||||
COM_COMPL Command line completion by John S. Bien
|
||||
GRAPHICS Funky screen character support (Eric S. Raymond)
|
||||
HACKOPTIONS Support DGK-style HACKOPTIONS processing (ESR)
|
||||
RPH Various hacks by Richard P. Hughey
|
||||
KJSMODS Various changes made by Kevin Sweet
|
||||
BVH Additions by Bruce Holloway
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, in an MSDOS enviornment, when GRAPHICS is defined:
|
||||
|
||||
MSDOSCOLOR Colour highlighting of monsters, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Of the above, I haven't tested HACKOPTIONS and MSDOSCOLOR. If you
|
||||
find bugs in these, send me the reports.
|
||||
|
||||
2) New objects:
|
||||
|
||||
blindfold - allows you to avoid the gaze of a Floating Eye and to
|
||||
use your telepathy on command if you have it.
|
||||
|
||||
mirror - scares monsters if you use it on them (and other uses).
|
||||
|
||||
ring of polymorph - (usually cursed) forces random polymorphs.
|
||||
|
||||
ring of polymorph control - prevents system shock and allows choice of
|
||||
creature to polymorph into.
|
||||
|
||||
3) New Files:
|
||||
|
||||
- A new set of documentation, the "Guidebook to the Mazes of Menace"
|
||||
has been supplied by Eric S. Raymond. The guidebook is written for
|
||||
nroff using the "mn" macro set supplied with Bnews 2.11 or greater.
|
||||
Since not everyone has these macros, I have run the guidebook through
|
||||
nroff, and supplied it in flat ascii format as well. [Moderator's
|
||||
note: because of past problems, I ran the formatted version
|
||||
through "col -b" before passing it on to remove ^H's, etc. -br]
|
||||
|
||||
- A copy of "HACK.CNF" which has been renamed "NetHack.cnf" was
|
||||
supplied by Steve Creps. The file decl.c has been updated to reflect
|
||||
this change.
|
||||
|
||||
- A new "Makefile" for the AT&T Unix machines has been added.
|
||||
|
||||
- I was hoping to get documentation on "NANSI.SYS" as well, but got
|
||||
no responses to the mail I sent the author, direct and via Bill
|
||||
Randle at tekred. As per usual, I will gladly publish any relevant
|
||||
documentation I get.
|
||||
|
||||
4) Major game changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Shop generation has been significantly changed. A new structure
|
||||
has been introduced which allows shops (except the "general" type)
|
||||
to have up to three different types of object inside. There is also
|
||||
a new "distribution pattern" parameter which tells the generation
|
||||
code how to lay out the shop (this is preliminary to the addition of
|
||||
two new types of shop, the temple and barracks - more on this later).
|
||||
|
||||
- Shopkeepers will now tell you how much they expect for each object
|
||||
you pick up. This gives you the ability to haggle with the merchant
|
||||
in question by dropping and picking up objects until you are more or
|
||||
less satisfied with the price. I have re-written "getprice()" in
|
||||
shk.c in an attempt to make sure that you cannot actually sell any
|
||||
particular object for more than the shopkeeper will charge for it.
|
||||
|
||||
- Another change to shopkeepers has them potentially getting angry if
|
||||
you stay beside them after not paying your bill. Each they time they
|
||||
ask you to pay up, there is a chance they will decide they don't like
|
||||
people who don't pay...
|
||||
|
||||
- A new monster, the hydra, has been added (as you have probably seen
|
||||
on the net). I haven't had much chance to test out this feature of
|
||||
the game. Mirrors have also been added, and seem to work quite well.
|
||||
|
||||
- Changes have been made to the object ocurrence chances in objects.h,
|
||||
so that the relatively rare tools, etc. have at least a 1% chance of
|
||||
showing up.
|
||||
|
||||
- Throwing and zapping code has been modified so that there is a
|
||||
chance that said can be done through a doorway. Bolts can still
|
||||
bounce however...
|
||||
|
||||
- The infamous and dreaded makemon() bug has been eliminated. In
|
||||
addition to this, "r"ats and "K"obolds have been added back into the
|
||||
game. "K"ops no longer leave treasure (just what they were carrying,
|
||||
plus maybe a club or whistle).
|
||||
|
||||
- Two new "super"swords have been added. They are the katana named
|
||||
"Snickersnee" which is +5 on damage (due to sharpness), and the long
|
||||
sword "Excalibur" which is +rnd(10) to hit, +5 on damage, and has a
|
||||
couple of other features I won't go into right now. The only way
|
||||
for a character to get "Excalibur" is as a gift from someone. You
|
||||
cannot write the word "Excalibur" on things for some reason...
|
||||
|
||||
- There have been two additions to disallow infinite wand charges.
|
||||
First of all, wands with less than zero charges will automatically
|
||||
turn to dust (thanks to Kevin Sweet). Next, a wand of cancellation
|
||||
will set the number of charges in the wand to -1, which will make it
|
||||
forever useless, (thanks to Ron Wessels).
|
||||
|
||||
5) Minor game changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- The fountain code has been tightened slightly so you can no longer
|
||||
dip objects into a fountain or drink from one while you are floating
|
||||
in mid-air due to levitation.
|
||||
|
||||
- Teleporting to hell via a teleportation trap will no longer occur
|
||||
if the character does not have fire resistance. I found this just
|
||||
too arbitrary a way to die (and so did several other people who com-
|
||||
plained about it).
|
||||
|
||||
- A new trap, the "polymorph" trap has been added by Richard Hughey.
|
||||
It's inclusion is dependant on having "KAA" defined.
|
||||
|
||||
- In wizard mode, the wizard player has infinite wishes, and the
|
||||
ability to instantly identify everything (s)he is carrying. The wizard
|
||||
player is also no longer limited by the standard multiple / bonus res-
|
||||
trictions on objects wished for.
|
||||
|
||||
- Random number generation has been changed around to make it (I hope)
|
||||
more unpredictable.
|
||||
|
||||
- A large number of typos have been fixed, and all of the British
|
||||
spellings converted to American. I would like to see a shell script
|
||||
to allow conversion back (or something like that) in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
- I have done a "make depend" for the makefiles to reflect a slight
|
||||
restructuring in the order of inclusion of header files.
|
||||
|
||||
6) Future additions:
|
||||
|
||||
- Steve Creps is working on "barracks" and "soldier" code which is
|
||||
now ready for addition. I have added the "soldier" side into the
|
||||
game, but haven't really tested it. Steve will be adding the
|
||||
"barracks" section in and sending me the resulting patches. There
|
||||
will be a minor (read patch) release as soon as he can get the code
|
||||
integrated into this release and sent up here to me.
|
||||
|
||||
- There are also several other new room projects in the works which
|
||||
should be able to be included in that minor release, along with any
|
||||
bug reports that are made in the interim.
