From an old bug report (sent directly to devteam, June of 2017):
wand or scroll of create monster becomes discovered if it makes
a mimic that is concealed as an object or as furniture within
the hero's view. Fixing this in the general case [when does
seeing a mimic as something other than a monster mean that the
mimic is being seen?] is a massive can of worms, but fixing this
specific case is trivial.
Highlight changes to dungeon location or alignment in blue instead
of green or red since neither the old value nor the new can be
classified as better than the other. Likewise when changing
between regular Hp and Xp (or Xp/Exp) to or from you-as-mon Hp and
HD when polymorph or rehumanization takes place.
When toggling Score On, start out highlighted in blue instead of
green. When toggling it Off, don't highlight the blank space
where it had been in red. At the moment there's a quirk here;
if it is highlighted in green (from recent change) or blue (from
having just been toggled on) at the time it gets toggled off, the
space stays green or blue until that highlight times out. (It has
occurred to me that the bogus red highlight might have been added
to deliberately overwrite stale green highlights. If so, a better
fix should be achievable.)
For the title (plname and rank or plname and monster-species),
capitalize the player name since core's botl() and at least some
other interfaces do that.
TODO: toggling Exp needs work. The field used for deciding
up/down changes gets swapped and the update in progress compares
apples and oranges. [This wasn't an issue in the original Qt
implementation where Xp and Exp were two separate fields.]
Since ^V is dead key for me with Qt on OSX, I use #wizlevelport
instead. It's annoying to have to type all the way up to the
'p' for it to become distinct. Rename the biggest conflict,
\#wizlevelflip to #wizfliplevel. I still have to type as far
as the first 'e' for #wizlevelport but 6 characters are easier
to type than 10.
It wasn't in the Guidebook so I've left things that way. I am
adding it to 'wizhelp' though.
Let ki-rin cure themselves (of being stunned, confused, or blinded)
with their own horn, and make them be poison resistant. They
aren't unicorns but their horn is very much like a unicorn horn.
They're flagged no-corpse so this hasn't changed them to leave
behind a horn upon death.
They were flagged as animals who neighed but they are also spell
casters. I took the animal flag off (they're still no-hands so
shouldn't be able to use items; also, unicorns aren't flagged as
animals either) and changed sound to 'ms_spell'.
Fix the minor problem of the status lines moving up or down a
tiny amount when using the condensed (statuslines:2) layout and
the condition line changed from empty to non-empty or vice versa.
The widget used as filler when no conditions are shown needed to
have non-empty label text (single space suffices) and also has
to have its font set to the same value as the rest of status.
(I previously tried a label of " " and also "_" but had left the
font with its default value.)
The adjustments to the prefix string when the value of Xp/Exp
("Level" -> "Lvl" -> "L") or Score ("Score" -> "Scr" -> "S") was
too wide needed some fixing up. If shrinkage was needed, it was
setting the value multiple times and any extra times confused
field highlighting because it seemed to be assigning same value
rather than a changed one.
For condensed layout that moves Alignment to the Characteristics
line, add a vertical separator line between Charisma and Alignment.
The slightly condensed (statuslines:2) status layout puts additional
width pressure on "Level:NN/nnnnnnnn" and "Score:nnnnnnnn" so add
some code to conditionally shorten the field prefix if the value of
the field is wider than the widget it's displayed in.
Condense the Qt status slightly, moving Alignment field from the
Conditons line to the Characteristics line and the Time and Score
fields from their own possibly blank line to the HP,&c,Gold line.
That's for statuslines:2, which is the default. statuslines:3
restores the previous layout. I tried to make that become the
default for Qt but it got messy fast and I gave up.
I also tried to make changing 'statuslines' back and forth on the
fly work but failed. I left the code in as #if DYNAMIC_STATUSLINES
but that isn't defined anywhere. For the time being at least,
'statuslines' is config file or NETHACKOPTIONS only for Qt, not
changeable via 'O' like for curses and tty.
Change the option description for 'statuslines'. That depended
upon whether curses was compiled in when it should depend on which
interface is active. This moves the alternate info to Guidebook.
I though that I noticed a problem but later couldn't reproduce
it, so this might not be redundant. Update persistent inventory
when putting on a helmet causes it to become cursed.
Minor change: if blind at the time, hero loses knowledge of BUC
state.
Move gold from in front of HP to the end of the line they're on,
and change its label from "Au:" to "Gold:". That makes both HP
and gold easier to see, by having HP first and by having gold
be shown after a blank column (where 'Exp' was once displayed
separately from 'Xp').
Get rid of the obsolete 'exp' widget, replacing it with 'blank1'.
Used to force 6 columns for HP, Energy, AC, Xp+Exp, blank, Gold
so that the row lines up with the six characteristics above it.
Handle Blind the same way as all the other On/Off conditions
instead of setting its label dynamically every time status gets
updated. The Qt3 code in outdated/ used to do things that way
and there doesn't seem to be any reason to have changed it.
Maybe someone (Ray?) had planned to show "Blindfolded" instead
of "Blind" when that's the only reason for being blind.
Reorder the widget declarations and initializations to match
their display order, and add a lot of comments.
I was looking into adding a confirmation prompt for '!' and it
isn't very promising due to sequencing issues. (The check for
whether '!' is allowed should happen before the prompt about
running it but the latter should take place in the core rather
than in the port code.) In the mean time, I noticed that VMS was
ignoring the SHELLERS value from SYSCF.
Untested implementation of a SHELLERS check on VMS. Even if it
works, it should not be using $USER as the user name to verify.
Tweaks the Unix implementation of check_user_string() but doesn't
switch the testing loop to the simpler version used by VMS which
is derived from the generic users test used by Qt.
Testing for generic character name wasn't robust enough. Looking
for whether "game" is a generic name would work when compared
with the list "game games" but falsely report 'no' for the list
"games game". The first matching substring isn't followed by a
space and the routine wasn't checking for other matches in the
rest of the list. Check again with a subset list starting after
the next space beyond the false hit; repeat as needed.
Simplify a recent change to the screen layout. Qt can calculate
the details and the recent code resulted in a slight amount of
blank space between the paperdoll and its resize hotspot.
Fix an off-by-one bug in the paperdoll resize routine. (The one
pixel margin at the top was being overlooked.)
When the hitpointbar is showing thick blue + thin dark blue (75%
or better health but less than 100%) and partial healing occurs,
the dark blue portion was momentarily visible pushed off the
right edge of the bar, resulting in slight flicker as the right
half of the bar got redrawn. I haven't noticed anything similar
for the paler injured-side colors, nor any temporary gap between
the two sides when losing health.
Also, remove a workaround that was needed at one point but isn't
needed anymore. (I don't remember the circumstances.)
If we ever want huge maps with COLNO or ROWNO larger than signed char,
this will at least allow the game to compile and start when typedef'ing
xchar to int. Trying to use huge maps exposes more bugs.
Try to set the initial window sizes to be big enough to show the
full welcome line in the message window when the Qt settings
(Preferences on OSX) specify Large font (Huge/Medium/Small/Tiny
seemed ok but I wasn't systematic about checking them).
While at it, I added a long comment about the status window format
and noticed a bug with experience formatting there. Again only
seemed to matter for Large font but the change to fix ignores font
size.
Plus add a couple of Qt "issues", one old and one just discovered.
If a monster threw a cocktrice egg that hit and petrified another
monster, the hero would credit (experience) and blame (possible
alignment penalty, &c) for it.
Fixes#410
Using 'ladder' as a variable conflicts with 'struct flag flags'
because of a macro in rm.h. Also remove or hide a couple of
unused variables.
The hack.c diff is unrelated; just a reformatting bit that I had
laying around.
Use a linked list to store stair and ladder information, instead
of having fixed up/down stairs/ladders and a single "special" (branch)
stair.
Breaks saves and bones.
Adds information to migrating objects and monsters for the dungeon
and level where they are migrating from.
Breaking a wand didn't require the hero to have free hands.
That's definitely a bug when they're both welded to the same
two-handed weapon. It's debatable when welded separately to
a one-handed weapon and to a shield but simpler to pretend
there's no such distinction.
This also makes glass wand join balsa wand as "fragile". Hero
doesn't need as much strength to break them as other wands and
the wording for breaking them is slightly different.
My fixes entry initially had a trailing space. When I took
that out, I spotted a couple of others so take those out too.
When wielding a two-handed weapon, Qt's paper doll shows uwep
in the shield slot as well as in the weapon slot to reflect
that it's occupying both hands. Make the shield slot's copy
be a mirror image of the weapon's tile so that it looks less
like wielding two weapons.
Attacking a concealed mimic at range by applying a polearm
could make the hero be stuck to that mimic in addition to
bringing it out of hiding. Only do that when adjacent.
This also adds a new sanity check when setting u.ustuck.
It may get triggered by other sticking activity since only
attacking has been tested. The check must be explicitly
enabled by setting the wizard mode 'sanity_check' option.
Fixes#408
Some eggs and tins could cause an out of bounds index into the
mons[] array. Post-3.6 bug: the faulty part of the test is only
relevant for 3.7 genetic engineer monster. Earlier versions just
called pm_to_cham() which does it's own index validation.
Fixes#406
Text window search behaved very strangely: at some point after
selecting [Search], entering a search string, having the string
entry popup go away, and having the search performed, but before
the result could be shown, the text window got pushed behind the
main window (map+messages+paperdoll+status). Clicking on the
main window's minimize button hid the main window and gave access
to the text window behind it. That was still functional even
after having been inaccessible; another search could be performed
and/or it could be dismissed. I still don't know what causes
that or how to properly fix it, but using raise() is a workaround
to bring it to the front where it belongs. Unfortunately you can
see it go away and come back so searching for text is distracting.
Allow <return> (when not searching) to dismiss all text windows
including RIP. Accept ctrl+[ as ESC.
Make text window searching be case-insensitive.
Searching wouldn't find a match on the first line of text. Now
it will.
This also includes an attempt to fix github issue #400 (typing a
pickup command while "things that are here" popup text window is
displayed seems to hang the program), but since I can't reproduce
that, I can't tell whether the fix works. The issue description
says that pickup started executing and "things here" couldn't be
dismissed which is different from "things here" being behind the
map waiting for it to be dismissed. The attempted fix is for text
window handling to tell Qt that it wants control of the keyboard,
so nethack shouldn't see any attempted pickup command.
Some enhancements to the widget used to get player input for
getline() and also menu search and text window search.
give caller control of [cancel] and [okay] button names;
give caller a say in how wide the string input box should be
instead of basing that on the length of the prompt string
(needs more work...);
use fixed-width font for displaying the user's input;
clean up the widget layout a little bit.
src/Makefile needs a dependency update for Qt (not included).
ignitable() was excluding magic lamp and then every place that
used it did so as 'ignitable(obj) || obj->otyp == MAGIC_LAMP'
so just include magic lamp.
I noticed that while hunting for an explanation for report #K2734
where returning to a previously visited level triggered the
warning "begin_burn: unexpected eggs". I've decided that the
zombie apocalypse is probably the cause. It inserted a new type
of timer in the list of such but it didn't bump EDITLEVEL to
invalidate save and bones files which relied on indices into the
old list. I'm not sure whether we should bump that now.
