The previous commit makes things somewhat harder for vegetarian
characters. Normally, making a conduct harder isn't a huge issue,
but vegetarian Monk is an intended/encouraged combination. As such,
compensate by adding some additional food rations to Monk games
specifically; the Quest home level is early enough to provide the
extra food, and as the level is Monk-specific, it will provide the
food only to Monks specifically. (Although the Quest generally
requires level 14 to enter, the Quest home level specifically
doesn't.)
Add a stack of 2 tins of spinach near the leader on the monk quest
start level and another stack of 2 blessed tins of spinach at a
random spot on the monk quest locate level, to compensate for the
inability to gain strength from giant corpses if they adhere to
vegan or vegetarian conduct. paxed supplied the 'tinplace' magic.
4 tins of spinach aren't nearly enough to get to 18/100, but by
uncursing the first pair, if necessary, and waiting until strength
is at least 18, they can be eaten to add 4..40 (average 22) points
of exceptional strength. (Players choosing either of those conducts
for other roles or foodless for any role are on their own as far as
boosting Str goes, same as before.)
The special level loader needed to be modified to handle tins of
spinach. It now accepts "spinach" as a fake monster type for an
object of type "tin". Also added support for empty tins since it
involved the same code, and use of fake monster type "empty" with
object type "egg" to be able to create generic (unhatchable) eggs.
(Wishing for "egg" produces those by default but it also accepts
explicit "empty egg" by coincidence.)
Make selection rndcoord return a table with x and y keys.
Allow (most) coordinate parameters accept such a table.
Fix selection and des lua tests broken by the above changes and
an earlier change, because selections tried to set terrain
at column 0, and it now causes a complaint.
Allow killing your quest leader, just to make games winnable if you
converted before doing the quest.
Boost the quest leaders and give them some equipment. King Arthur
gets Excalibur. Killing quest leader gives really bad luck and
makes your god angry at you, and killing quest guardians gives
smaller penalties.
This is based on both the EvilHack implementation by
k21971 <keith.simpson1971@gmail.com>, and xNetHack
implementation by copperwater <aosdict@gmail.com>.
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.
