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.
For Qt's pick-an-exetended-command dialog, allow a player to
toggle the grid layout from column-oriented to row-oriented
and vice versa and when in wizard mode to cycle the set of
shown (and typable) commands from 'all' to 'normal mode-only'
to 'wizard mode-only' back to 'all'. The most recent values
are saved by Qt along with tile size, font size, and some other
stuff. The extended command dialog has a Reset button to force
them (the two extended command values) back to their defaults.
The dialog layout has a slight change to conserve screen space
as well as three additional control buttons:
Was Now
| [ Cancel ] | [Cancel] [Filter][Layout][Reset ]
|# |# Grid Title
| Grid title | [cmd 1] [cmd R+1] [cmd 2*R+1] ...
| [cmd 1] [cmd R+1] [cmd 2*R+1] ... | [cmd 2] [cmd R+2]
| [cmd 2] [cmd R+2] |...
|... | [cmd R] [cmd 2*R]
| [cmd R] [cmd 2*R]
'#' is the prompt where typed text gets echoed and 'R' is the
number of rows in the grid and varies by the set of commands
from the current filter. Grid dimensions have been adjusted:
'all' is 13x9, 'normal' is 13x7, and 'wizard' is 7x4 or 4x7
depending on layout orientation.
The wizard mode-only filter setting probably isn't very useful
because you can only type--or click on--commands which are
visible. So when set to wizard mode-only, you can't #quit for
instance. (Via extended command; there are still menu choices
for that particular action. And it's trivial to change filter.)
Enhance the "Qt Settings" dialog box to provide control over the
paper doll subset of inventory displayed between the message and
status windows (above the map). A ton of flailing about for a
fairly small but useful change in functionality.
Old dialog (no title):
| [ ] Zoomed -- check box
| "Width:" [ ] -- number entry spinner
| "Height:" [ ] -- ditto
| "Font:" [ ] -- Huge:18pt, Large:14, Medium:12, Small:10, Tiny:8
| [ Dismiss ] -- button
New dialog:
| "Qt NetHack Settings"
|
| "Map:" [ ] "Zoomed" -- check box
| "Tile Width" [ ] -- number entry spinner
| "Tile Height" [ ] -- ditto
| "Invent:" [ ] "Shown" -- check box
| "Doll Width" [ ] -- number entry spinner
| "Doll Height" [ ] -- ditto
| "Font:" [ ] -- Huge:18pt, Large:14, Medium:12, Small:10, Tiny:8
| [ Dismiss ] -- button
The inventory subset can now be suppressed. When shown (the default),
its size can be set independently of the map tiles' size. I've set
the default to be 32x32 tiles instead of 16x16 used for the map.
The settings are saved and restored automatically by Qt, and persist
not just across save/restore cycles but into new games. (That's not
a change, just a reminder.)
