From a bug report, dropping a lit
(burning) potion of oil while levitating can produce an explosion which can
destroy inventory. If in the process of dropping multiple items, the ones
after the oil might be gone, resulting in use of stale pointers and possibly
triggering an "extract_nobj: object lost" panic or even a crash. While
testing my fix, I discovered that being killed by an exploding potion of oil
could produce an "object_is_local" panic if bones are saved (and reproduced
with unmodified 3.4.3).
When hiding as a monster, say so during the #monster command and
also list being hidden in the status section of enlightenment/^X.
Also, prevent hiding on the floor or ceiling on the planes of air
and water. (Didn't apply to monsters, who only hide on ROOM spots.)
Half the change to dohide() is just revised indentation.
From a bug report, stinking cloud
harms hero even when u.uninvulnerable is set during successful prayer.
This makes the cloud harmless during prayer as he suggested.
It also makes being inside a stinking cloud become a major trouble
that prayer can fix. (With magical breathing such a cloud is harmless and
with poison resistance it is just a nuisance; it won't be considered to be
trouble in such cases.) The fix is to clear away the cloud, or to teleport
the hero if he's inside multiple overlapping clouds or in one that is
marked as permanent (which I think isn't currently possible).
A post-3.4.3 change made the contents of thrown (or dropped while
levitating) containers subject to breakage, but it had sequence issues.
When something was thrown from outside a shop (or from its doorway or
entry spot) and arrived inside, the shopkeeper was taking possession too
soon, charging the hero for any broken contents, and then going ballistic
(summoning kops and attacking) because the hero was outside the shop while
owing money. We need to break contents before shk claims ownership, which
turned out to be trickier than it sounds since it has to occur after any
item-hits-floor message if such feedback is given.
Also, clear the container's contents-known flag when contents break.
Conceivably it should stay set when there is only one item, since hearing
something break could only be that item, but this resets container->cknown
unconditionally if anything inside breaks.
Reported last December by <email deleted>, attempting to move
into a peaceful monster's position and then declining to attack at the
confirmation prompt uses no time, as expected, but does burn nutrition
the same as if you carried out the attack. A player could abuse that to
make room to eat an intrinisic-conferring corpse before it rots away.
This fixes that, and also makes attacking a monster via applying a polearm
and via kicking burn the same extra nutrition as ordinary attack. I didn't
add it for attacking via throwing.
He/she also reported that kicking at a peaceful monster and declining
to attack at the prompt wakes up nearby monsters even though no actual kick
ultimately takes place. I can confirm that, but this does not fix it.
From a bug report, you could crawl
out of water to avoid drowning by moving diagonally into an intact doorway
even though regular movement won't allow that. (Second version of Medusa's
level has a door adjacent to water.) You could also escape diagonally when
polymorphed into a grid bug.
Change how overview data is handled if/when you get expelled from
the quest: mark quest levels as unreachable rather than discarding their
overview data, so that it can be included in end of game disclosure (and
can be revived if you manage to return to your quest branch by invoking
the W quest artifact).
Order of endgame levels was odd: earth followed by astral, water,
fire, and air, because the code didn't know how to insert in front of the
first one visited. Now it does. Placement of endgame levels was sub-
optimal: since that has the highest internal dungeon branch number, it
came out last. Now it is forced to come out first, so that it appears
above the dungeon. And use "Plane of Earth" for level name rather than
"Plane 1", and so on for the others, when in the endgame.
Since I'm bumping EDITLEVEL due to adding mapseen.flags.unreachable,
I am also inserting u.uevent.uvibrated now so that it won't trigger another
EDITLEVEL increment. At the moment it doesn't do anything except get set
when you receive the "you feel strange vibrations <under you>" message.
The level where that occurs will eventually have an automatic annotation
of some sort.
Add 'o' to "i a v g c" disclosure set, to display final dungeon
overview at end of game. It lists all levels visited rather than just
those that #overview considers to be interesting, but it doesn't reveal
any undiscovered aspects of those levels except for the presence of bones.
(I think revealing shops and altars and such would be worthwhile, but the
data for that isn't handy at the time.) If the game ends due to death,
the bones section of the current level will have "you, <reason you died>"
(before any real bones entries for that level). That occurs before bones
file creation so it doesn't give away whether bones are being saved.
end.c includes some unrelated lint cleanup.
Guidebook.{mn,tex} updates the section for autopickup_exceptions as
well as for disclose. It had some odd looking indentation due to various
explicit paragraph breaks. I took "experimental" out of its description
since it was moved out of the experimental section of config.h long ago.
The revised Guidebook.tex is untested.
1) add graves to the dungeon features being tracked;
2) report on known bones (determined by seeing map spot(s) where previous
hero(es) died since there's no guarantee of graves or ghosts);
3) add automatic annotations for oracle, sokoban, bigroom, rogue level,
Ft.Ludios, castle, valley, and Moloch's sanctum. For bigroom and rogue
level you just need to visit that level, for the others you need to get
far enough along to learn something specific (oracle: her room, sokoban:
annotation is either "solved" or "unsolved" depending upon whether all
the holes and pits have been filled, fort and castle: see the drawbridge,
valley and sanctum: see inside the tended temple). Discovering the
relevant locations via magic mapping counts as "far enough along".
There should probably also be automatic annotations for Medusa and the
vibrating square but I'm not sure what criteria should be used for the
former or what phrasing to use for the latter. Demon lord/prince lairs fall
into similar category as Medusa.
TODO: add final #overview as an end of game disclosure option. (I was
planning this even before I saw that nitrohack has implemented it....)
Noticed while working on #overview/#annotate revisions, one of which
will key off the oracle's welcome message. On a bones level, the oracle
could be outside her room, or the room's one time welcome message could be
used up, or both. During bones creation, discard her if she's on the wrong
level (probably not possible, aside from wizard mode ^G), try to put her
back into her room if she's outside it on the right level, and restore the
room's type (if she's still in it, or has been successfully moved back into
it) so that next hero who loads the bones will get her welcome message the
first time that room is entered.
Other special rooms could be fixed up too, provided that they're
sufficiently intact (stealthy hero might enter and get the one-time message
then run away and die elsewhere on the level; at present, next hero won't
get the room's entry message) but this doesn't attempt to deal with that.
The message "you stop taking off <that armor>" when interrupted by a
nymph's or monkey's theft attack would only be given if you were using 'A'
to take off the armor. If you used 'T', you'd get "you stop putting on
<that armor>" instead. The fix for that also makes it easy to vary the
nymph message "<the nymph persuades> you to start taking off" to be "<the
nymph persuades you to continue taking off" when taking that same piece
of armor off was interrupted by the theft.
From a bug report, having some
armor stolen while in the midst of putting on armor--when both items have
a multiple turn completion delay--could result in side-effects for the
latter item being reversed even though they hadn't been applied yet. So
you'd lose points of Int and Wis when attempting to put on a positively
enchanted helm of brilliance, or gain such with a negatively enchanted one.
steal() was assigning to afternmv before it had been used to finish the
action of putting on or taking off armor. Fix by interrupting the attempt
to put on or take off armor when being victimized by theft (or being hit by
succubus or incubus seduction). The existing stop_occupation() call wasn't
sufficient because afternmv is different from occupation.

Add dupstr() as a substitute for strdup() so that out-of-memory
handling will be consistent with the rest of nethack, and make it aware
of nethack's heap logging. It's treated like alloc() so that its caller
can be logged for NH_HEAPLOG.
I put it into use in a few places, but there are lots more candidates
besides the existing calls to strdup() that should be replaced.
(This covers some thing that Pat found and some things I found while working
on those.)
Unscramble duplicate use of GREPPATH and GDBPATH symbols.
Add some more info to config.h.
Make missing SYSCF_FILE a fatal error.
Make a parse error in SYSCF_FILE a fatal error.
Rename PANICTRACE_GLIBC (et al) to PANICTRACE_LIBC (et al) since FreeBSD
and Mac OS X (at least) also implement the needed API.
Allow SYSCF_FILE to be unreadable by the user (for setgid installs).
If SYSCF, do NOT fall back to the compiled in WIZARD account.
Put WIZARD into sysopt and remove special cases in authorize_wizard_mode().
Part II of the bones tracking patch. Change umpteen different outrip()
routines to handle its new time_t argument, and use formatkiller() instead
of directly accessing killer.{format,name} and killed_by_prefix[]. The
latter is now static within formatkiller().
The many sys/* and win/* changes are untested....
[See cvs log for include/rm.h or doc/window.doc for more complete description.]
Attach hero info, death reason, and date+time to a level that's being saved
as bones. Read such data back when loading a bones file, then treat it as
part of that level for the rest of the game. Dying on a loaded bones file
will chain the new hero+death+date to previous one(s) if new bones get saved.
outrip() now takes an extra argument of type time_t, and interface-specific
implementations of this routine need to be updated to handle that.
Quite a long time ago, the developer/administrator of the 'hearse'
bones respository asked to have bones files augmented so that they could
be correlated with logfile entries. He was forced to approximate it by
comparing file date+time with logfile date, which won't work well if there
are multiple deaths at roughly the same time, or perhaps even on the same
day. This adds character name plus role, race, gender, alignment, the
cause of death, and date plus time of death to the bones file when it is
saved, and reads that data in when a bones file is loaded, then retains
it as part of that level for the remainder of the game. Dying on a level
that was loaded from bones will chain the new dead hero info to whatever
was there from the previous one(s). It's written as fixed length strings
padded with spaces before writing the map and its messy details, making
it easy to spot with a simple file browsing tool rather than requiring
something which can interpret nethack level files. This may need to be
tweaked if players start shelling out of nethack to see whether the
checkpoint file for a newly entered level contains bones info, but at the
moment I'm not going to worry about that.
TODO: I wanted the bones and topten date to match, so am obtaining
the current date+time in done() and passing it to both of those and also
to outrip(). Hence the latter now has an additional argument. So far only
genl_outrip() and hup_outrip() in src and the three outrips in win/chain
have been taught about that; interfaces that supply their own outrip()
need to be updated and probably won't compile right now. Also, code for
formatting the cause of death has been moved from topten() into a separate
routine so that the new bones code can share it. genl_outrip() now calls
it too; the various other outrip() routines should be changed to call it
instead of continuing to duplicate that core code. (I probably should
have made topten.c's killed_by_prefix[] be static in order to force that,
but haven't done so.)
TODO too: there ought to be some way of viewing the data for a loaded
bones file from within nethack. I'll probably add something to the dungeon
overview code to treat it as an implicit annotation, as least in wizard mode.
Showing it in normal play once a level is sufficiently discovered would be
useful, but I'm not sure what criteria should control that. Neither ghost
nor grave is guaranteed to be present, particularly for levels that were
saved as bones, loaded into a subsequent game, then became new bones when
the second hero died there, which can occur an arbitrary number of times.
This is the code I built trying to figure out the large window size issue.
It completely compiles out if not needed (see -DWINCHAIN in hints/macos10.7)
and except for one call during setup has zero overhead if compiled in and
not used. See window.doc for more info.
Defs for UNUSED parms. I know this has been controversial, so use is isolated
to the chain code and windows.c (where it shouldn't be intrusive and saves about
50 warnings).
Hints file for 10.7, but the build process still needs to be migrated from
the branch.
Pat noted that I neglected to drop the SCCS lines on the files I've been
committing, so clean up those and any others I could find where the SCCS
line date is out of date.
Provide a mechanism for cleanly moving between tentative window system
selections during startup. Now, before a second (or later) system is selected,
the first will be notified that it is losing control. See window.doc.
branch only. This adds a check when setting a new fruit so that if no fruits
have been created since the last time the option has been set, the current
fruit is overwritten. Result: the user cannot repeatedly set the fruit
option and overflow the maximum fruit number.
Change the post-3.4.3 extended command "#terrain" so that it can be
used in normal play rather than just in wizard mode. It's inspired by
a command in 'crawl' that lets you view the bare map without monsters,
objects, and traps so that you can see the floor at locations which have
been covered up by those things.
normal play
redraw map to show the known portion of it without displaying
monsters, objects, or traps; after player responds to --More--, the
map returns to normal.
explore mode
put up a menu so player can choose between the known portion of
the map as above or the full map. If the level isn't fully explored
then the latter provides information to the player that he hasn't
earned yet, but the _hero_ doesn't learn anything and after --More--
the map reverts to what it showed before. (In other words, unlike
with magic mapping, the unknown portion doesn't become known.)
wizard mode
put up a menu so player can choose among four alternatives: the
two above, the text representation of the map's internal levl[][].typ
codes, or a legend explaining those codes. (Originally, I wanted to
be able to toggle back and forth between these last two, but looking
at one and dismissing it, then reissuing #terrain to look at the
other is much simpler to implement and is good enough.)
My #terrain patch had a typo on the command line and was going
to include doc/fixes35.0 as the log text for a half-dozen files. I
aborted the commit but most of them had already made it into the cvs
repository. This reverts those changes so that the entire patch can
be re-comitted with the right log text. Ugh...
Noticed while looking into whether I could use DUNGEON_OVERVIEW data
for something useful, it was recording accurate terrain type for locations
covered by mimics who were mimicking furniture (such as stairs or altars).
Hero should remember the fake terrain rather than whatever is actually
underneath the mimic.
No fixes entry; user-contributed DUNGEON_OVERVIEW is post-3.4.3 code.
Some old wall display debugging code which gets enabled when
WA_VERBOSE is defined was missing the three terrain types (tree, iron
bars, grave) added way back in 3.3.0. It's extermely unlikely that
anyone other than Dean might actually ever be impacted by this....
This compiles with WA_VERBOSE enabled but is otherwise untested.
I haven't bothered with a fixes entry.
Redo the fix that prevents hangup from putting hero on top of water
if it occurs during magic mapping or object/gold/trap detection. Instead
of copying u.uinwater into another field in struct u so that it can be
reset during restore, copy it into a new field in struct iflags and reset
it during save so that no fixup upon restore is needed.
Noticed while looking at the magic mapping code: u.uinwater is
cleared during mapping and detection so that map updating isn't suppressed
due to underwater vision restrictions, and it was possible for a hangup
save to take place before that state field was reset. After restore, the
hero would end up standing on water, then fall in on the next turn. This
saves it in struct `u' rather than in a local variable, so that the stored
value is accessible during restore.
The u.uburied flag was being ignored, but presumeably it would also
impose severe vision restrictions if it ever gets implemented, so it is
now saved, temporarily cleared, and restored along with u.uinwater during
monster/object/gold/trap detection and magic mapping.
From a bug report, dropping and selling a container that had some things owned
by the hero and some already owned by the shop, you could get "You sold
some items inside <a container> for N gold piecess." Shop handing for
containers has been changed significantly since 3.4.3, but the typo
"pieces" that then optionally gets plural "s" appended was still there.
While testing the trivial fix, I noticed suboptional feedback in the
prompt about selling. For a container owned by the shop, it said "items"
even when there was just one hero owned item inside. Fortunately this
potentinal can of worns only seemed to have one tiny weeny worm in it....
The revised version of count_buc() that I've had laying around for
a while is also included.
The fixes entry is for "piecess", not escaped/captured/exterminated
worms, and goes into fixes34.4 despite this patch being labeled "trunk
only". Separate patch for trunk to follow.
Levitation side-effects get skipped if Levitation toggles while it
is blocked, so BFlying (the reason Flying is blocked) could become stale
in some situations. Enlightment feedback about latent flight capability
was the only thing affected.
From a bug report, flashing yourself
with a camera while in gremlin form blinded as with any other form, but
didn't inflict any damage the way that flashing a monster gremlin does.
This fixes that, and also makes light from wand/scroll/spell that hits
you-as-gremlin or monster gremlins do 1d5 damage too. It happens even
if the target is already in a lit spot, but doesn't continue afterwards:
simply being in a lit spot doesn't cause any damage, nor does lamp light.
From a bug report. The first report complained about levitation
allowing you to move through water on the Plane of Water, something that's
come up in the newsgroup lots of times (mostly about how levitation is
the best way to get around, only occasionally wondering why it works:
water walking doesn't work there because there's no surface, so where are
you levitating such that you're kept dry?) The second report complained
about being told you were floating up if you put on a ring of levitation
while stuck inside a wall (perhaps after being stranded when polymorph
into xorn form ended).
This implements intrinsic blocking for levitation and also for
flying. Being inside solid rock (or closed door) anywhere and being in
water on the Plane of Water are the things that do it for levitation;
those two and levitating are what do it for flying. Entering such
terrain turns off ability to float/fly, and leaving there turns it back
on; starting levitation blocks flight, ending it unblocks (levitation
has always overridden flying's ability to reach the floor). Being able
to phase through rock doesn't prevent levitation and flight from being
blocked while in rock; you aren't floating or flying in that situation.
Fix several obscure bugs that can happen when a guard leads someone
out of a vault:
1) non-pit traps created in the temporary corridor would persist inside
solid rock after the corridor was removed (pits dug by the hero were
explicitly removed but several other trap types are possible);
2) lighting the corridor with scroll/wand/spell left the affected spots
flagged as lit after they reverted to rock; tunneling through that
area, either by digging or by teleporting back to the vault and having
another guard appear, unearthed lit corridor there;
3) if you became encased in solid rock because you were in the temporary
corridor when it was removed (which will happen if the guard is killed
while you're in his corridor), you were only told so if you saw part of
it revert to rock; when blind, you simply found yourself unable to move;
4) dragging an iron ball in the temporary corridor could result in part
of that corridor becoming permanent if the guard was killed; in 3.4.3,
it would only occur if the cause of death took away all the guard's
hit points (which happens for most but not all deaths); in development
code after my recent patch, that would be every cause of death.
#4 could also yield "dmonsfree: <N+1> removed doesn't match <N> pending"
warning in 3.4.3 when the fmon list was scanned and a guard at <0,0> with
no hit points was found but hadn't passed through to the end of mondead()
and m_detach(). The previous patch fixed that, I think/hope. Most guard
deaths won't trigger that; grddead() moves the guard to <0,0> but then
removes the temp corridor on its second try, returns true, and mondead()
finishes normally.
Tested on the unix port; I've updated as many other ports as I can figure
out but they're not tested. See window.doc for info on the changed banner
lines. Also adds the ability to override the generic "Unix" port - used now to get
"MacOSX" into the version line instead of "Unix" (so we don't scare people who don't
know what's going on).
The ceiling on the Plane of Water is always "water above", not "sky"
when inside air bubbles and "water's surface" when outside. Also, support
throwing things upwards on the planes of air and water and when underwater
instead of silently dropping the missile in such cases.
This is mainly groundwork for a tangential bit of a forthcoming
levitation fix.
Simplify many of the intrinsics macros from
#define xxx_resistance (Hxxx || Exxx || resists_xxx(&youmonst))
down to
#define xxx_resistance (Hxxx || Exxx)
by setting or clearing an extra bit in Hxxx during polymorph so that the
resists_xxx() check becomes implicit.
Unfornately there were lots of places in the code that treat Hxxx
as a timeout number--primarily for Stunned, Confused, and Hallucination;
Stunned happens to be one of the revised macros--rather than as a bit
mask, so this patch needed a lot more changes than originally antipated.
