The curses message window shows new messages bold, and removes the
bolding from older ones. The code was calling curses mvwchgat with
attribute and color parameters in the wrong order. Also change the
code to actually retain the color of the window, so it just removes
the bold attribute.
The wishy-washy warning for case BL_VERS was "may fall through" when
it always fell through, and there was no mention of the fact that the
assignment had no effect because it was immediately overwritten by
similar assignment for the fall through cases.
It may have 'spacing = 2' rather than 1 at some point, but since that
field is right justified it wouldn't make any difference.
Add options 'showvers' (boolean) and 'versinfo' (numeric mask) to
show nethack's version on the status lines during play. It won't be
particularly interesting to ordinary players but should be useful
when making screenshots or video to be streamed, or for someone who
switches between git branches or between nethack and variants.
I worked on this several months back but it was combined with
unfinished changes to 'hitpointbar'. I've separated it out so that
it can be put into use. When enabled, one or more components of
"<name> <branch> <version>" will be shown right justified after
status conditions. At present the default is "<branch>" if that is
available and overall status isn't 'released', or "<version>" if
'released' or if branch isn't available. That might need some
refinement.
It works as intended for tty and curses, although some abbreviation
mechanism would be useful if/when the program resorts to abbreviating
status conditions to make things narrow enough to fit.
For X11, it works ok for fancy_status:True (the default, controlled
via NetHack.ad settings) but is messed up for tty-style status. The
text is positioned correctly but there are gaps in it, making it
appear garbled, similar to what I saw when I tried and failed to
implement statuslines:3 for X11. [It might be due to having empty
condition widgets be 1 pixel wide instead of being totally removed
but I don't think the situation is that simple.]
For Qt, if the text needs to be truncated in order to fit, the center
portion of the string will be shown, discarding parts from the left
and right. That ought to discard from left and retain rightmost
portion instead.
For win32|mswin|Win GUI, no attempt to support it has been included.
Things should be ok when 'showvers' is left as False (the default)
but I don't know what will happen if that gets toggled to True. At a
minimum, the version info won't be right justified. The information,
or at least some of it, is displayed in the game window's title bar
so there isn't any pressing need to add it to status, but toggling
the option will need to behave sensibly if it doesn't already.
DUMPLOG requests the DUMPLOG feature as it does now
DUMPLOG_CORE requests the internal buffering only (used for CRASHREPORT)
This allows CRASHREPORT to access recent messages without performing
any file I/O.
I've been building tty-only for a while in order to speed up
builds, so a recent change to the curses interface that broke
compile on older OSX went unnoticed. The <curses.h> on my
OSX 10.11.6 system does not define A_ITALIC.
curses_yn_function() was returning a value that wasn't in the
subset of legal return values. This fixes that.
The unexpected return value of 32 (or space) then brought to
light an indexing error in the core that's been there a while,
apparently since at least 3.2.0, and that caused a null pointer
dereference in a strlen() call, which is what actually caused
the crash in issue #1205. This fixes that too.
Close#1205
My recent change to petattr caused a crash in curses when no
petattr was used in config file - because curses was setting
petattr to curses-specific value. Init the setting in core
instead.
Redo menu sizing to eliminate one of the analyzer hacks. There's no
need to loop through the menu entries a second time to find the last
one. The first time can remember it.
Also, some routines were taking arguments with
some_function(WINDOW *win, nhmenu *menu, ...)
and others with
other_function(nhmenu *menu, WINDOW *win, ...).
Change them all to have the window pointer 1st and menu pointer 2nd.
This is mostly just adding some Null guards ahead of
code that was already dereferencing pointers, so there
should be no change in behavior.
Also adds one validation of an array index that was
drawing a complaint.
<color>
off: map, menu items, menu headings, menu prompt/title all, everything should have color suppressed.
<curses guicolor>
on: map, menu items, menu headings, menu prompt/title can all feature color, as can
menu borders, menu-selector letters.
off: map, menu headings, menu prompt and menu items (menucolors on) can still feature color,
but all other non-map features such as menu borders, menu-selector
letters will not have color.
<menucolors>
on: menu items can have colors if they match one of the regex in config
file; menu headings, menu prompt can also be in color (based on menu_headings option).
off: menu items won't have colors, but menu headings, menu prompt still
will feature colors (based on menu_headings option); those are not impacted by turning
off menucolors.
This implements the mechanics to use the ctrl_nhwindow() interface
capability to pass down a setting change from the core to the active
window port, without resorting to accessing a core global variable
from within the window port, and without altering the interface..
The passed setting is honored in the tty and curses window ports.
X11 and mswin receive and store the values, but no implementation
to change the menu prompt style is there yet.
Qt does not store the values or have an implementation.
The setting change is done in allmain.c immediately after
creating the WIN_INVEN window.
Remove menu_color support from the window port side of the interface.
The window port just has to honor the color parameter that was added
to the add_menu() interface definition in June 2022 commit
2770223d10, and let the core-side of
the interface handle things.
To that end, this does the following:
Removes the #define of add_menu() from include/winprocs.h and add a
real core-side add_menu() function to windows.c which acts as a
trampoline to the window port win_add_menu() function, while providing
a single location to adjust the parameters passed to the window port
function. get_menu_coloring() is now called in there.
Moves get_menu_coloring() from options.c into windows.c and makes it
static.
Removes all the calls to get_menu_coloring() from the tty, Qt, X11,
curses, and win32 interfaces and adjusts their code to simply honor
the color parameter in add_menu, similar to what the menu_headings
change from earlier today did.
Instead of just accepting an attribute, it's now possible to
use a color, or both color and attribute, for example:
OPTIONS=menu_headings:inverse
OPTIONS=menu_headings:red
OPTIONS=menu_headings:red&underline
Default is still just inverse.
This lets the player change the menu heading color without
needing to use menu colors for them.
Also makes it so the core uses NO_COLOR instead of 0, for all
the menu lines which don't have any prefedefined color.
Tested for tty, curses, x11, qt, and win32
If there's room, avoid writing the column indicator (when one or more
entries have been truncated due to insufficient window width) on an
entry. Only applies to first page so only matters if sortpack is off.
Also, for windowborders=3 or 4, where the map, message, and status
windows have borders but the perm_invent one doesn't, insert a blank
line at the top when there is only one line of output (such as "not
carrying anything") so that it lines up with the top line inside the
adjacent window rather than with that window's top border. No effect
when perm_invent itself has a border or when none of the others do.
Menus in the curses interface would honor a digit as a selector
character ("letter" :-) for PICK_ANY menus but forced it to start a
count in PICK_ONE menus. This fixes that, although the menu where I
was using digits as selectors (not included) has been changed to use
letters so this fix isn't being exercised anymore.
Also, add a couple of comments about persistent inventory.
The default engraving-in-corridor character is the same as the default
corridor symbol (and also default lit corridor one), distinguished by
color. Show it differently (in inverse vidoe, like lava vs water and
sink vs fountain) if color is Off.
It might be better to change the engraving-in-room symbol to be the
same as the room one so that they'll be more consistent with corridors;
color is probably sufficient without resorting to back-tick. But this
update hasn't done that.
The previous curses escape sequence conversion for 8-bit sequences was
looking for those to start with M-O when the correct value for that is
actually M-^O.
Add support for the number pad's non-digit keys. Most useful for real
VTxxx keyboard since emulators are usually stuck mapping '+' and '.'
to ',', '.', and '-'. There's no universal solution for that.
This attempts to address the issue on hardfought (as described by K2
on reddit two weeks ago) which happened after updating their terminfo
database. It's based on the reported workaround of having users force
their terminals to avoid "application keypad mode". The fixes entry is
my guess at what is happening so could be wrong....
I don't have a numeric keypad so this is untested; it /ought to work/.
NetHack's curses interface is doing it's own keypad recognition when
the curses library returns a multi-char sequence rather than converting
that into corresponding KEY_xxx token. Numpad keys that the interface
recognizes begin with 2 char 'ESC O' when transmitted as 7-bit sequences.
This adds support for SS3 (as sent by DEC Vtxxx terminals and emulators;
value is single char 'M-O') for 8-bit sequences.
It shouldn't break typing Alt+O but that's something else that I can't
test properly. Setting nethack's 'altmeta' option and manually typing
2 char 'ESC O' still works as intended.
This is curses-specific; the tty interface is completely unaffected.
[However, the vms port has supported SS3 with tty for decades. :-]
We received a report from someone whose build was failing because
of the use of cchar_t and setcchar(). They were getting errors
even though they were using an up-to-date curses library.
Apparently, ncurses requires that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED must be
defined before the curses header files in order for those features
to be available.
We had already updated our .370 series of hints and hints/include
files with
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1
but this person must have been building in some other way.
Instead of failing to build in that situation, allow the
fallback to the older, less-functional genl_putmixed() function,
but also try not to do so silently and display a message that
functionality is reduced.
The difference between the use of genl_putmixed() and
curses_putmixed() or tty_putmixed(), is that when doing
'/' farlook operations, curses_putmixed() and tty_putmixed() try to
display a character in the message window that looks exactly the same
as the one on the map, even if a symbol from a symset is being used
on the map, or when using ENHANCED_SYMBOLS.
Related note: curses_putmixed() matches the symbol and the color,
whereas tty_putmixed() (at present) does not attempt to match the
color.

The curses interface was using genl_putmixed() which doesn't
preserve the symbol actually used for a glyph on the display.
This is a first-attempt at implementing curses_putmixed().

Entering a multi-digit count when selecting from a menu in the curses
interface causes the menu to disappear. Report was about putting a
large subset of an object stack into a container but the bug affected
all menus that accepted counts.
curses_get_count() was changed to call core's get_count() quite a
while back. get_count() calls mark_synch() when more that one digit
is typed or when backspace to remove the first digit occurs.
curses_mark_synch() had been a no-op but more recently it was changed
to try to make sure that the screen was up to date. But it did that
by refreshing the persistent windows, making any temporary popup menu
or text window become hidden. Also, the count-in-progress is being
sent to the message window with the no-history flag, so refreshing
the message window removed that too.
Switch curses_mark_synch() to use the basic screen refresh call that
doesn't do anything window-specific. This also changes menu count
handling to have get_count() echo the number starting with the first
digit instead of waiting until the second.
If anything in the menu makes it be very wide it can cover up the
message window and any count being echoed there won't be visible.
I'm not going to try to figure out how to deal with that; it isn't
all that different from the old single-digit/unseen-count behavior.

Add configuration to support Curses on WinGUI
and enable support for Unicode on Curses.
Allow NetHackW to select the Curses interface
Reorder drawing of extended command prompt
Curses on WinGUI needs this change. This may be a bug in PDCursesMod,
but it seems to be harmless to the other ports.
Avoid calling Curses after the windows are closed
Provide erase_char and kill_char for WinGUI Curses
Set Lua version to 5.4.6
to program_state.input_state
Rename program_state.getting_a_command and give it an int value
instead of treating it as boolean. Start using to it for Qt to
suppress commands initiated from the drop down menus in the title bar
if nethack isn't expecting to get a command from the user. Those menu
choices inject extended command text into the input stream and should
be avoided when entering text or waiting for a menu to be dismissed.
These menus would be better if they grayed out unavailable choices
when pulled down instead of accepting any choice and then treating
that no good. I'm not going to try to figure out to do that with Qt.
And this workaround for the menus doesn't have any affect on the
toolbar buttons below the title bar. Those execute core commands
directly and when I tried to use jacket routines instead, the tool bar
stopped showing up so I've given up.
This won't fix the reported problem of getting stuck in a loop.
