Instead of trying to figure out in core whether to change a minetown
food shop to health food shop for monks, just figure it out in the
minetown level creation script.
When matching a terrain, allow using a "w" placeholder that matches
any solid wall:
For example:
local s = selection.match([[w.w]]);
would match all floor locations with a wall to the left and right of it.
The walls can be solid stone, horizontal, vertical, etc.
This applies to selection.match(), selection.filter_mapchar(), and
des.replace_terrain()
Rather than spitting out an error code number that is not particularly
useful. The string contains the line number and the nature of the error,
which is much more useful for debugging or reporting an issue.
nhlua.c(628): warning C4244: 'function': conversion from 'lua_Integer' to 'int', possible loss of data
nhlua.c(644): warning C4244: 'function': conversion from 'lua_Integer' to 'int', possible loss of data
nhlua.c(646): warning C4244: 'function': conversion from 'lua_Integer' to 'int', possible loss of data
Provide a way to communicate additional behaviors and/or appearances
desired from NetHack window port menus.
This is foundation work for changes to follow at a future date.
nhl_loadlua() went from too simple to too complicated, now somewhere
in between. Still doesn't assume that an entire file can be scooped
up with a single fread(), but no longer mucks about with the contents
of the file in order to insert a comment containing the file's name.
In order to have useful filename feedback in Lua error messages, just
use a different liblua routine to feed the file's contents to it.
When loading a Lua script, modify it with a comment containing the
file name (or DLB module name) so that error reporting doesn't just
show the first 60 bytes of the script. Also, don't assume that it's
possible to load an entire script in one fread(). Unfortunately
that got way out of hand and the result isn't pretty. But something
of the sort is necessary. (Reading the script into one string first
and then applying modifications while copying it into a second one
would probably be a lot cleaner than mixing the two operations.)
If a script starts with a comment or a blank line, the insertion of
the file name comment won't disturb the line number reported in an
error message. But if the script starts out with code on its first
line, error reports will be off by one for the line number. Showing
the file name is more useful than keeping that number accurate.
nhl_error() was clobbering the stack. I assume that the 'source'
field in the Lua debugging structure is normally a file name, but
nethack loads an entire Lua script into one long string because it
usually comes out of the DLB container, and 'source' contained the
full string. That would overflow the local buffer in nhl_error()
if nethack encountered a Lua problem and tried to report it. (In
my case, the problem was in a level description file modification.)
[Not something under user control unless user can modify dat/*.lua
and put the result into $HACKDIR/nhdat.]
Whenever a lua script references a core struct obj, increment a counter
in the obj struct. Core code will not free the obj, if there are any
lua references pointing to it, just makes it free-floating.
When lua script ends, the lua gc will free the free-floating objects.
Also exposes u.inventory to lua.
Breaks save and bones compat.
groundwork only - window port interface change
This changes the last parameter for add_menu() from a boolean
to an unsigned int, to allow additional itemflags in future
beyond just the "preselected" that the original boolean offered.
There shouldn't be any functionality changes with this groundwork-only
change, and if there are it is unintentional and should be reported.
Eliminate a couple of warnings about unused static routines.
That led to a couple of other things.
I hope I got host vs target right in the mdlib.c '#if's.
Copy lib/lua-$(VERSION)/src/liblua.h to lib/lua/ rather than lib/.
Instead of copying any of the header files or telling the compiler
where to find the lua ones, generate include/nhlua.h on the fly and
restrict the knowledge of where they are to it (paths are relative
to include/).
|/* nhlua.h - generated by top Makefile */
|#include "../lib/lua-5.3.5/src/lua.h"
|LUA_API int (lua_error) (lua_State *L) NORETURN;
|#include "../lib/lua-5.3.5/src/lualib.h"
|#include "../lib/lua-5.3.5/src/lauxlib.h"
|/*nhlua.h*/
This might need to be redone (or augmented by having CFLAGS add back
'-I path-to-lua') if some compiler can't find '#include "luaconf.h"'
issued by lua.h.
Unix Makefile.utl wasn't aware of the dependency of makedefs.o on
src/mdlib.c so didn't rebuild makedefs when it should have.
Eliminate several warnings:
mdlib.c - #if inside the arguments to macro Sprintf();
nhlua.c - nhl_error() ends with a call to lua_error() which doesn't
return, but neither of them were declared that way;
nhlsel.c - because of the previous, the 'else error' case of
l_selection_ellipse() led to complaints about uninitialized
variables;
sp_lev.c - missing 'const'.
I did minimal testing which went ok, but revisiting a couple of levels
gave me un-freed memory allocated by restore.c line 1337. (I haven't
looked at that at all.)
Game is playable, and should compile on linux and Windows.
Assumes you have a lua 5.3 library available.
Removes level compiler and associated files.
Replaces special level des-files with lua scripts.
Exposes some NetHack internals to lua:
- des-table with commands to create special levels
- nh-table with NetHack core commands
- nhc-table with some constants
- u-table with some player-specific data (u-struct)
- selection userdata
Adds some rudimentary tests.
Adds new extended command #wizloadlua to run a specific script,
and #wizloaddes to run a specific level-creation script.
nhlib.lua is loaded for every lua script.
Download and untar lua:
mkdir lib
cd lib
curl -R -O http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
tar zxf lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
Then make nethack normally.
