add MALE, FEMALE, and gender-neutral names for individual monster species
to the mons array. The gender-neutral name (NEUTRAL) is mandatory, the
MALE and FEMALE versions are not.
replace code uses of the mname field of permonst with one of the three
potentially-available gender-specific names.
consolidate some separate mons entries that differed only by species into a
single mons entry (caveman, cavewoman and priest,priestess etc.)
consolidate several "* lord" and "* queen/* king" monst entries into
their single species, and allow both genders on some where it makes some
sense (there is probably more work and cleanup to come out of this at some
point, and the chosen gender-neutral name variations are not cast in stone
if someone has better suggestions).
related function or macro additions:
pmname(pm, gender) to get the gender variation of the permonst name. It
guards against monsters that haven't got anything except NEUTRAL naming
and falls back to the NEUTRAL version if FEMALE and MALE versions are
missing.
Ugender to obtain the current hero gender.
Mgender(mtmp) to obtain the gender of a monster
While the code can safely refer directly to pmnames[NEUTRAL] safely in the
code because it always exists, the other two (pmnames[MALE] and
pmnames[FEMALE] may not exist so use:
pmname(ptr, gidx)
where -ptr is a permonst *
-gidx is an index into the pmnames array field of the
permonst struct
pmname() checks for a valid index and checks for null-pointers for
pmnames[MALE] and pmnames[FEMALE], and will fall back to pmnames[NEUTRAL] if
the pointer requested if the requested variation is unavailable, or if the
gidx is out-of-range.
Allow code to specify makemon flags to request female or male (via MM_MALE
and MM_FEMALE flags respectively)to makedefs, since the species alone doesn't
distinguish male/female anymore. Specifying MM_MALE or MM_FEMALE won't
override the pm M2_MALE and M2_FEMALE flags on a mons[] entry.
male and female tiles have been added to win/share/monsters.txt.
The majority are duplicated placeholders except for those that were
separate mons entries before. Perhaps someone will contribute artwork in the
future to make the male and female variations visually distinguishable.
tilemapping via has the MALE tile indexes in the glyph2tile[]
array produced at build time. If a window port has information that the
FEMALE tile is required, it just has to increment the index returned
from the glyph2tile[] array by 1.
statues already preserved gender of the monster through STATUE_FEMALE
and STATUE_MALE, so ensure that pmnames takes that into consideration.
I expect some refinement will be required after broad play-testing puts it to
the test.
consolidate caveman,cavewoman and priest,priestess monst.c entries etc
This commit will require a bump of editlevel in patchlevel.h because it alters
the index numbers of the monsters due to the consolidation of some. Those
index numbers are saved in some other structures, even though the mons[] array
itself is not part of the savefile.
Window Port Interface Change
Also add a parameter to print_glyph to convey additional information beyond
the glyph to the window ports. Every single window port was calling back to
mapglyph for the information anyway, so just included it in the interface and
produce the information right in the display core.
The mapglyph() function uses will be eliminated, although there are still some
in the code yet to be dealt with.
win32, tty, x11, Qt, msdos window ports have all had adjustments done to
utilize the new parameter instead of calling mapglyph, but some of those
window ports have not been thoroughly tested since the changes.
Interface change additional info:
print_glyph(window, x, y, glyph, bkglyph, *glyphmod)
-- Print the glyph at (x,y) on the given window. Glyphs are
integers at the interface, mapped to whatever the window-
port wants (symbol, font, color, attributes, ...there's
a 1-1 map between glyphs and distinct things on the map).
-- bkglyph is a background glyph for potential use by some
graphical or tiled environments to allow the depiction
to fall against a background consistent with the grid
around x,y. If bkglyph is NO_GLYPH, then the parameter
should be ignored (do nothing with it).
-- glyphmod provides extended information about the glyph
that window ports can use to enhance the display in
various ways.
unsigned int glyphmod[NUM_GLYPHMOD]
where:
glyphmod[GM_TTYCHAR] is the text characters associated
with the original NetHack display.
glyphmod[GM_FLAGS] are the special flags that denote
additional information that window
ports can use.
glyphmod[GM_COLOR] is the text character
color associated with the original
NetHack display.
Support for including the glyphmod info in the display glyph buffer
alongside the glyph itself was added and is the default operation.
That can be turned off by defining UNBUFFERED_GLYPHMOD at compile time.
With UNBUFFERED_GLYPHMOD operation, a call will be placed to map_glyphmod()
immediately prior to every print_glyph() call.
This tries to fix the problem of the extra message when a tame
golem is completely destroyed (paper or straw golem burned, iron
golem rusted, wood or leather golem rotted) being issued at odd
times. I basically punted on the visibility aspect since the
original logic was strange: you had to be able to see both the
attacker's and defender's spots and at least one of those two
monsters. Now mon-attacks-mon visibility requires that you be
able to see one of the two and if you don't see both, the unseen
one will be referred to as "it". The "may the iron golem rust
in peace" message is independent of that and may be displayed
after "you have a sad feeling", but now that's intentional and
will refer to an unseen pet by name or monster type, not "it".
This needs a lot of testing and hasn't attempted to address
issue #402: only some attacks that should compeletely destroy
a golem actually do so. (So a hit by fire elemental against a
paper golem does, but passive fire counterattack when a paper
golem hits a fire elemental doesn't, nor does a wand of fire
or being hit by Firebrand.)
Fixes#401
... on the floor, in monster inventory, and in hero's inventory.
Items in your inventory being ignited produce a message even if you're
blind - you can see the lit-state by viewing inventory anyway, so just
give player the message.

Recently combat between monster mind flayer and headless monster was
changed to skip extra tentable-for-drain_intelligence attacks after
hitting with one for no effect. Do the same for monster mind flayer
against headless poly'd hero and for hero poly'd into mind flayer
versus headless monster. As before, it only applies to additional
actions during the current attack. As soon as the attack is over,
the ineffectiveness of intelligence drain upon target is forgotten.
The report about problems after stone-to-flesh on a petrified
long worm included stethoscope feedback of 0(-1) hit points, after
life-draining. I was unable to reproduce a maximum hp of -1 and hope
that it was a side-effect of the [already fixed] stale mon->wormno
value used when resurrecting the long worm. Anyway, this changes
life-draining to never take mon->hpmax below mon->m_lev + 1 (the +1
is needed to cope with m_lev==0 monsters). The same limit is also
applied to monster life-saving but more to avoid replicating the
arbitrary minimum of 10 (four instances) then because it might be
less than m_lev+1 somehow.
Sanity checking now tests whether a monster's max HP is less than
its level + 1 so if there are ways other than life-drain attacks for
it to drop that low, the fuzzer will choke. The new check also tests
whether a monster's current HP is greater than max HP.
Polymophred hero killing a golem or vortex by vampire bite reported
"<Mon> dies." Give an alternate message since those aren't alive.
Adds two monsters originally from slash'em. I used the slash'em
tiles this time, also its code as a starting point but made various
revisions. Both the tiles could benefit from some touch-ups.
displacer beast: blue 'f'. Attempting a melee hit (ie, trying to
move to its spot) has a 50:50 chance for it to swap places with you.
Fairly tough monster to begin with, then half your ordinary attacks
effectively miss and if you try to face a mob by retreating to a
corridor or backing into a corner you can end up being drawn back
into the open. I added bargethrough capability, and also it won't
be fooled about hero's location by Displacement. [It only swaps
places during combat when contact is initiated by the hero, not
when attacked by another monster or when attacking.]
genetic engineer: green 'Q'. Its attack causes the target to be
polymorphed unless that target resists. Hero will almost always
have magic resistance by the time this monster is encountered, but
it can make conflict become risky by hitting and polymorphing other
monsters. Slash'em flagged it hell-only but I took that flag off;
I also took away its ability to teleport. Slash'em polymorphs the
hero if a genetic engineer corpse is eaten; that's included and I
introduced that for monsters too.
I added both of these to the list of candidates for monster spell
'summon nasties' and for post-Wizard harassment.
I also gave all the 'f's infravision. Probably only matters if the
hero polymorphs into a feline.
Displacer beast is originally from AD&D which depicts it as a six-
legged cougar with a pair of tentacles; it has Displacement rather
be able to affect an attacker's location. I think genetic engineer
is original to slash'em where it expands Q class but seems mainly to
be the base monster for Dr.Frankenstein (a unique monster with a
one-level side-branch lair in slash'em's incarnation of Gehennom).
We haven't added any new objects or monsters in a really long time.
This adds two new useful amulets, putting more pressure on the
decision over which type of amulet to wear.
amulet of flying: idea from slash'em, implemented from scratch.
Should be self-explanatory. Polymorphing into a form capable of
eating amulets and then eating one does not confer intrinsic
flight. (I've no idea how slash'em behaves is in that regard.)
amulet of guarding: adds +2 AC, which is fairly negligible, also
+2 MC, which is not. Initially called amulet of protection but MC
of 2 is referred to as 'guarded' by enlightenment so I changed it.
(By that reasoning, rings of protection ought to be called rings of
warding; oh, well.) Successfully eating one confers +2 AC without
any MC benefit. When wearing one of these, rings of protection
only confer AC, their +1 MC gets superseded rather than combined.
Monsters will wear an amulet of guarding and gain both the AC and
MC benefit, but if not cursed and they acquire one of life-saving or
reflection, they'll swap. They won't wear an amulet of flying.
I cloned two extra copies of the tile for one of the existing amulets
and ran sys/share/objects.txt through renumtiles.pl. The result
appears to be ok but on X11 the tiles map ends up looking psychedelic
so something beyond the tile art itself needs to be fixed here.
This matches the nurses' hitting behavior with their chatting messages.
Chatting to them suggested that the heal attack would happen but the check in
mhitu.c was just for wielding anything.
This opens up the possibility of a YAFM in MS_NURSE when wielding something
that allos the heal attack to proceed. But I couldn't come up with a good
one.
