Adds a more general way to handle gameplay tips, and adds
a boolean option "tips", which can be used to disable all
tips. Adds a helpful longer message when the game goes
into the "farlook" mode.
Also adds a lua binding to easily show multi-line text
in a menu window.
Breaks save compat.
Comparable to #vanquished, be able to view info normally available
during end of game disclosure while the game is still in progress.
The new #genocided command lists all genocided and extincted types
of monsters. Unlike #vanquished, there aren't any sorting choices.
Potential future enhancement: provide a way to view the genocided
list at the "what do you want to genocide?" prompt.

Guidebook update to trigger the process following pull request 977.
sounds can be set in the config file or on the fly with the Options menu.
This also adds a mechanism for specifying a terminology preference
for a boolean option in the options menu.
The choices are: Term_False, Term_Off, Term_Disabled
Term_False, the default, will use the terms "false" and "true" in the
Options menu.
Term_Off will use the terms "off" and "on" in the Options menu.
Term_Disabled will use the terms "disabled" and "enabled" in the Options
menu.
I didn't review any of the existing options to see if one of the new
alternative terms might be a better fit. They were all left at the default.
Catch the LaTex Guidebook up with the nroff one for the role, race,
gender, and alignment options.
For both formats, comment out the decription of 'altmeta' on Amiga.
Instead of using a compile-time macro to suppress inclusion of the
menu entry to show UNIX command-line usage in the help menu, use a
sysconf setting instead.
Default is HIDEUSAGE=0, to include the entry for command-line usage.
Set HIDEUSAGE=1 to exclude that. Does not affect 'nethack --usage'
if player actually has access to the command-line.
Make the existing '#vanquished' command be available during regular
play, with M-V bound to it. 'm #vanquished' or 'm M-V' brings up
the sorting menu that you get when answering 'a' rather than 'y' at
the end-of-game "disclose vanquished creatures?" prompt.
The original #vanquished came from slash'em, where it was available
in normal play. When added to nethack, it was put in as wizard-mode-
only. I added the sorting capability several years ago.
The chosen sort is remembered and re-used if not reset but only for
the remainder of the current session. It probably ought of become
a run-time option so be settable in advance and across sessions but
I haven't done that.
The #showgold command now does mention known contained gold in your
inventory, so the various lines in the Guidebook which explicitly state
that it doesn't needed to be updated. Wish I had noticed this in time
to put it into the previous Guidebook patch I submitted, but what can
you do.
The pull request included some changes that were neither accidental nor
unintentional, so only a subset of the changes from pull request #869
submitted by klorpa were manually applied.
behaviour -> behavior
speach -> speech
knowlege -> knowledge
incrments -> increments
stethscope -> stethoscope
staiway -> stairway
arifact -> artifact
extracing -> extracting
The uses of "iff" were left alone.
Close#869
Wizard-mode command to cast any spell without checks that would
prevent casting, and with no energy use.
Mainly to allow the fuzzer to exercise the spell code paths.
Instead of hardcoding mouse button actions, allow the user to
bind mouse buttons to extended commands. For example the new
defaults are:
BIND=mouse1:therecmdmenu
BIND=mouse2:clicklook
Currently a bit rudimentary; the defaults should be OK, but
documentation is bit lacking, and in-game binding and option
saving are missing.
Allowed commands to bind are "nothing", "therecmdmenu", "clicklook",
and "mouseaction". Clicklook replaces the "clicklook" boolean option,
and mouseaction does what mouse 1 button used to do - a context sensitive
action.
Preceding #options or the key bound to that with m runs 'advanced'
options. Implement the inverse: preceding #optionsfull or the key
bound to that with m now runs 'simple' options.
Inspired by the diff from entrez. I didn't care for 'time'. I don't
like 'novelty' much either, but it is a little more accurate since
there is no time factor involved with just-picked-up.
Make the default options menu only show the most important
options, split into categories. The full, traditional menu
can be accessed by using the m-prefix.
Incorporate the diff from entrez describing the travel_debug wizard
mode option and removing obsolete M prefix from the Guidebook. That
missed a reference to it in the description of '_'.
I put M back in case someone who has used it with earlier versions
tries to use it and gets a no-such-command complaint so goes looking
for it.
Also, make the mention of ^X at the end of the discussion of status
stand out a bit. The indentation of its paragraph made it line up
with the preceding text instead of making it be distinct from that.
The TeX changes are untested and given the amount of punctuation
characters used, it will be surprising if they all have been quoted
properly.
