Dropping an existing fragile item while levitating will usually
break it. Getting a new wished-for fragile item and dropping it
because of fumbling or overfull inventory never would.
Some callers of hold_another_object() held on to its return value,
others discarded that. That return value was unsafe if the item
was dropped and fell down a hole (or broke [after this change]).
Return Null if we can't be sure of the value, and make sure all
callers are prepared to deal with Null.
Replace recent "(light blue aura)" with
"(flickering light blue)" if there are 1..4 orcs,
"(glimmering light blue)" if 5..12, or
"(gleaming light blue)" if there are 13 or more, and move its place
in the formatted name.
_3.6.1_: Sting (weapon in hand) (glowing light blue)
_recent: Sting (weapon in hand) (light blue aura)
_now___: Sting (weapon in hand, flickering light blue)
The thresholds for intensity may need to be tweaked. The start
message has been changed from "glows" to "flickers/glimmers/gleams"
and is given when the intensity changes (up or down) as well as when
first glowing. Stop message will usually be "stops flickering" but
some form of mass kill (genocide for sure, maybe explosion, probably
not wand zap) might result in stopping directly from higher intensity.
It still "quivers" if hero is blind when there are orcs on the level,
but no name augmentation shows in inventory for that situation;
describing it as "(weapon in hand, quivering)" would be too silly.
Also, the quiver or glow intermediate message if blindness is toggled
while Sting is active only worked for make_blinded(), not for putting
on and taking off a blindfold. Now fixed. I think becoming blind due
to polymorphing into an eyeless form is still not handled, but there
are no eyeless creatures capable of wielding weapons so that can wait.
Polymorphing from eyeless to sighted is handled but moot for Sting.
Clean up quite a bit of minor things found with simple grep patterns:
operator at end of continued line instead of beginning of continuation
(and a few comments which produced false matches, so that they won't
do so next time), trailing spaces (only one or two of those), tabs (a
dozen or so of those), several casts which didn't have a space between
the type and the expression (I wasn't systematic about finding these).
I think the only code change was in the function for the help command.
Use the make_foo() intrinsic set/reset routines instead of trying
to manipulate the intrinsics directly. Previous patch left Dex
down by 1 if stoning caused wounded legs to be fixed, and left
delayed killer allocated if stoning cured sliming or vice versa.
I tried 'pick all' in the #wizintrinsics' menu and after 30 turns,
died with "poisoned by a poisoned, while vomiting". Food poisioning
and/or terminal illness beat the other fatal conditions to the coup
de gras. However, the final stage of vomiting sets Sick to 0 cure
food poisoning and ends up clobbering the killer reason if Sick is
due to terminal illness. It's feasible for that to happen without
using #wizintrinsic, so this fixes that, and also a few other
combinations that seemed contradictory:
1) limbs turn to stone during Stoned countdown now cures wounded legs;
2) turn to stone (a couple of turns later) cures vomiting and sliming;
3) turning to slime during Slimed countdown cures stoning.
Fixes#106
If dipping a worn amulet into a potion of polymorph turns it into an
amulet of change, the game panics while trying to use up that amulet
when the new one hasn't replaced the old one in inventory yet. Simply
reordering the relevant code isn't sufficient to fix things: once it
is in inventory and can be successfully used up, later code would end
up deferencing a stale pointer because it was unaware of the deletion.
Report classified this as 'segfault' but it's actually a controlled
panic(). When hero has lycanthropy and is wielding a potion of unholy
water while in human form, if that potion is boiled then it triggers
a transformation to beast form which in turn causes wielded weapon to
be dropped. When the code unwinds back up through potionbreathe() to
destroy_item(), the boiled potion won't be found in inventory any more
and useup() -> useupall() -> freeinv() -> extract_nobj() panics.
Right now, the punishment for being hit more than twice by a level
drainer pre-Quest is disproportionate; grinding back up to level
14 from level 13 takes a long time, and yet isn't particularly
difficult, just slow, and a potion of full healing will only
regain one of the lost levels (as only half the lost levels can
be regained this way).
Meanwhile, potions of restore ability are currently automatically
blanked by almost all spoiled players; they don't do anything that
doesn't have more convenient sources (unicorn horn or the spell),
so they're only useful in the very early game for getting poison
resistance.
This commit aims to fix both problems, by allowing potions of
restore ability to restore lost experience levels, in addition to
lost attribute points; an uncursed potion restores one lost level
(with multiple potions making it possible to hit the cap), a
blessed potion restores all of them. That gives players an
incentive to keep them around rather than blanking them. (Notably,
the spell and tool were not changed the same way; for restoring
levels, you need to use the potion.)
It was possible to arbitrarily boost strength (up to its race-specific
limit) by wearing a ring of sustain ability, becoming weak from hunger
(but not actually losing strength due to Fixed_abil), removing the ring,
eating enough to stop being Weak, then repeat as desired. I think you
could substitute polymorph for wearing ring, and rehumanize for removing
ring and get similar results, although that would be more tedious.
My first attempt to fix this was a lot more complicated. This one puts
the temporary strength loss in ATEMP(A_STR) where it carries over from
normal form to polymophed form and back. Fixed_abil doesn't prevent the
loss any more, nor its recovery.
One side-effect of the change is that the possibility of dying when
becoming weak from hunger (if Str gets down to 3, further attempts to
lower it take away HP instead of Str) no longer exists. Using ATEMP()
instead of directly manipulating ABASE() means that current strength is
less but underlying base strength does not actually drop any more.
thitu() is mostly used for arrows and darts "thrown" by traps, but
scatter() uses it on items launched by a land mine explosion. Traps
had no need for potion handling, but scattering does. Changing thitu()
to call potionhit() required that more information be passed to the
latter in case killer reason was needed, and thitu()'s callers needed
to be updated since it now might use up its missile (only when that's
a potion, so scatter() is only caller which actually needed to care).
Quite a bit of work--especially the testing--for something which will
never be noticed in actual play. In hindsight, it would have been
much simpler just to make scatter destroy all potions rather than
allow the 1% chance of remaining intact (via obj_resists()), or else
leave any intact ones at the explosion spot instead of launching them.
Drinking any potion full healing or extra healing or non-cursed potion
of healing cures blindness in addition to restoring lost hit points.
Now breathing vapor from any potion of full healing or non-cursed
potion of extra healing or blessed potion of healing will also do so.
Files modified:
include/extern.h
src/pline.c, priest.c, potion.c, mkobj.c
A bunch of calls to pline() in pline.c started triggering warnings
either as-is or possibly after the changes to tradstdc.h. Fixing
them in place would include intrusive VA_PASSx() like in lev_main.c.
Moving them to other files is much simpler (and they didn't
particularly belong in pline.c in the first place, although I didn't
actually find any better place for them....).
The probing/stethoscope feedback went to priest.c, where there's a
comment stating that it should move to wherever englightenment ends
up once that is moved out of its completely inappropriate current
home in cmd.c. (Holdover from when ^X was wizard-mode only but even
the other wizard mode commands don't really belong with the command
processing code.)
setmangry() and wakeup() were being used for multiple purposes. Add an
extra parameter to track which. This fixes several minor bugs (e.g.
whether monsters with no eyes were angered by (useless) gaze attacks
against them previously depended on the state of a UI option, and
the Minetown guards would be annoyed if you used a cursed scroll of
tame monster on a shopkeeper). It's also a prerequisite for the
Elbereth changes I'm working on.
"Your pair of speed boots glow silver for a moment." should be
"Your pair of speed boots glows silver for a moment.". The fix
reverses a post-3.6.0 change to is_plural(). Also, add new
pair_of() to test for object formatted as "pair of Bars". For verb
usage, that's definitely singular, but for pronoun usage, sometimes
plural seems better (although it might actually be incorrect).
I fixed up the formatting of a block comment in obj.h, but it is
still a candidate for tab cleanup.
Requested by one of the beta testers 13 months ago... when a visible
monster becomes invisible and vanishes, mark its map location with
the remembered, unseen monster glyph. (When the player zaps a
monster with a wand of make invisible, that only happens if the wand
type is known. I'm not sure that's right but didn't alter it....)
The request suggested also doing it for a monster who disappears by
teleporting away, but I haven't attempted to implement that.
...by thrown potion. The reported case was a shopkeeper killed by
system shock from thrown potion of polymorph, but any death (acid,
burning oil explosion, water against iron golem, holy water against
undead, demon, or werecritter) to any peaceful monster could cause
similar result.
Reported directly to devteam 7-Jan-2016, two issues with cursed
potion of levitation:
1) the go-up-stairs effect for cursed potion still let you choose
not to escape the dungeon if it occurred on level 1 stairs. I've
left that as-is; perhaps there's a gate across the entrance.
2) both the go-up-stairs and bonk-head-on-ceiling effects were
skipped if the hero was already levitating. I don't know whether
that was intentional but there was no comment explaining why, so
I've changed it to happen regardless of whether already levitating.
In the process, I changed the head-bonk case to do more damage when
a helmet is worn:
old: no helmet 1..10 hp, any helmet 1 hp damage;
new: no helmet 1..10 hp, soft hat 1..6 hp, hard helmet 1..3 hp.
Also, not in the report: when you aren't already levitating you
get the "you float up" message, but for cursed potion there was
never any corresponding "you float down" message because you ended
up not levitating. Now you'll levitate for 1 turn and float down
on the next, landing in a trap if one is present.
Blindness due to face covered by pie was ignored for several cases
of magically curing blindness--cleaning the face seems better than
adjusting timeout to account for u.ucreamed for those cases. A few
instances of taking stun or confusion damage overrode existing stun
or confusion rather than increasing it. Plus a copy/paste mistake
for dual stun+confusion when casting an expired spell.
There was also a suggestion that vomiting when already nauseated
should decrement the timer instead of increasing it. But there is a
negative effect for as long as it's in effect, so I left that as is.
I noticed that my paniclog had a "Query truncated" entry from testing
the post-3.6.0 changes to #dip prompting. For
"What do you want to dip <the object> into? [xyz or ?*] "
the use of safe_qbuf() didn't account for getobj() appending the list
of choices, so wasn't ensuring that the formatted object name combined
with the other text couldn't overflow QBUFSZ.
I had a more elaborate fix than this that still used safe_qbuf(), but
the extra complexity just wasn't worth it. This potentially truncates
the formatted object description more severely than necessary but is
simple enough to be comprehensible.
No fixes36.1 entry. This is updating a post-3.6.0 revision.
Adding deafness to the status line spurred me on to something I've
wanted to do for a long time. This adds 'Stone' and 'Strngl' as
new status conditions, and moves the five fatal ones: "Stone Slime
Strngl FoodPois TermIll" to the front of the status list since
information about them is more important than any of the others.
"Ill" has been renamed "TermIll"; "Df" has been renamed "Deaf";
"Lev", "Fly", and "Ride" are three additional new conditions, with
Lev and Fly being mutually exclusive. After the fatal ones, the
order of the rest is now
<hunger> <encumbrance> Blind Deaf Stun Conf Hallu Lev Fly Ride
To handle the longer potential status line, the basic bot2() is now
smarter. If the line is wider than the map, 'T:moves' is moved from
the middle to the end. If the line without time is still wider than
the map, then experience (HD if polyd, Xp:M/nnnnnn is showexp is on,
or Exp:M) is moved in front of time at the end. If the line without
experience and time is still wider than the map, dungeon level plus
gold is moved from the beginning to be in front of experience. The
fields are just reordered, not truncated, so if the interface code
can display lines wider than the map they'll retain the extra info.
The gist is than health and associated fields (Hp, Pw, Ac) get first
priority, status conditions get second priority, then the rest. In
the usual case where there aren't many conditions, status display is
the same as it has been in the past.
STATUS_VIA_WINDOWPORT has been updated too, and it builds for tty
and X11. But the bot2() revision to reorder sections has not been
implemented for that.
win/win32/mswproc.c has been updated but not tested.
STATUS_VIA_WINDOWPORT without STATUS_HILITES had several compile
problems; now fixed for core and tty. STATUS_VIA_WINDOWPORT with
STATUS_HILITES has not been tested.
Duplicate of another recent report as far as drain resistance from
Excalibur/Stormbringer/Staff of Aesculapius not being shown by
enlightenment goes, but this one mentioned that it also wasn't being
shown for lycanthropy. Being inflicted by that does confers level-
drain resistance. were_change() wasn't calling set_uasmon() since
it isn't changing youmonst.data, but set_uasmon() is were intrinsics
conferred by creature form are set up. So call it when changing
were-form. Direct access to u.ulycn wasn't calling it either, so add
a new routine to assign the value to that instead doing so directly.
Shorten the dip-into-fountain, dip-into-pool, and dip-into-potion prompts
when flags.verbose is off. For non-verbose, use "it" (or "them") instead
of the formatted object name of the item being dipped.
Also, the "What do you want to dip <object> into?? [xyz or ?*]" prompt
for dipping into a potion had an extra question mark. I must have seen
that umpteen times before it actually registered.
No fixes entry; these are changes to post-3.6.0 changes....
The 3.6.0 feature of dipping only a subset when attempting to dip a large
stack of potions into another potion (other than water) was calculating
the size of the subset poorly. Dipping 9 non-magic potions would always
dip the whole stack, but attempting to dip 10 would split the stack and
dip 2..9, so manually splitting off 9 in advance let the player always
get maximum yield. This anomaly didn't extend to dipping magic potions,
where dipping 2 always dipped "all" 2 and attempting to dip 3..N dipped
2..min(N,9) regardless of N. Also, the decision about whether what you
were dipping was magic was based on the potion being dipped even though
most alchemy formulas yield the same outcome when dipping magic potion
into non-magic or vice versa.
Change the splitting calculation to yield 3..min(N,8) for magic and 7..N
for non-magic, with no extra threshold that can produce anomalies in the
result. Also, the determination of magic vs non-magic is based on the
outcome rather than either of the inputs--unless the outcome is random,
in which case it will be treated as magic if either of the input potions
is magic.
Dip the scroll labeled LEP GEX VEN ZEA into the fountain?
Your scroll called light fades.
The first prompt deliberately avoided 'called', 'named', and other
attributes to keep it short, but the discrepancy here is blatant, so
increase the verbosity in order to have the reminder that's included
in the prompt be the same as object name in the followup message.
Bonus fix, noticed while testing it: water_damage() was reporting
the "{blank,unlabeled} scroll fades" even though blank scrolls are
already as faded as they can get. Likewise for blank spellbook.
When doing some more reformatting I came across something I've been
meaning to tweak for a long time, and since the change is only a couple
of lines I'm putting it in now instead of waiting. Make potions of
gain energy more useful for actually regaining energy so they might not
be relegated to alchemy all the time. The adjustment is probably too
low to really achieve that, but I didn't want to risk going too high.
Increase to max energy is only a little higher (average 10.5 vs 9 for
blessed, 7 vs 4 for uncursed) but to current energy is noticeably higher
(31.5 vs 9 for blessed, 21 vs 4 for uncursed; capped by max energy so
bigger increase only matters if current is below max when quaffing).
Somewhere along the line I started removing redundant parentheses from
return statements, but only in files that needed continuation fixups
so it's not comprehensive.
Dipping a towel into a potion, fountain, or some other water source
makes the towel wet. Hitting with a wet towel deals up to 6 points
of damage, but every hit reduces wetness, as does throwing or applying
the towel. You can also wish for a moist or wet towel.
Implement the suggestion that applying a non-cursed unicorn horn can
cure deafness like other similar troubles. Also, applying a cursed one
can cause deafness, although I made the chance be half of what it is
for the other troubles since they tend to be more significant.
This is entry #2 on the bugzilla list, but I haven't figured out how to
update that yet.
If Sting is glowing when blindness gets toggled, give a new "glowing"
message.
So instead of
Sting glows blue! [...] You can't see! [...] Sting stops quivering.
if you're still blind when the last orc goes away, or
Sting quivers slightly. [...] You can see again. [...] Sting stops
glowing.
if you were blind when the first orc arrived, now you'll get an
intermediate message between the second and third ones. 'Sting is
quivering' for the first case, 'Sting is glowing' for the second.
No matter how many times blindness toggles back and forth, the final
"stops glowing" or "stops quivering" will be consistent with the most
recent "is glowing" or "is quivering".
I'll push a formatting guide at some point. There may still be
outstanding changes, but please feel free to resolve those as you arrive
a them.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no changes to the actual code
content, but the formatter does have the occasional bug. If you run into
an issue, please fix it!
Instead of just "while helpless", the death reason will tell
more explicitly why the player was helpless. For example:
"while frozen by a monster's gaze"
This finally eliminates all direct increases of `oeroded` and `oeroded2`
and moves them all to go via `erode_obj()`. They are still manipulated
directly in a few places, but not to erode objects.
This now merges the `fire_damage()` function to a common codepath, used
for items on lava and burning oil, but fire needs more work. There is
still a duplication between `destroy_item()` and `fire_damage()`; the
two codepaths should eventually be merged in some manner so that there
is only one codepath to say "an object was affected by fire". This path
might require some parameters, such as whether the fire will just erode
objects or burn them outright, but that can happen another day.
This now ensures that dipping into water works like other sources of
water damage. There is a potentially significant gameplay change here:
dipping a container into uncursed water will wet all its contents. If
this is a problem, then we should add another parameter to water_damage
which will suppress this behaviour for dipping.
