The latest Micrsoft compilers complain when a function is
assigned to a function pointer, and the function's argument
list does not match the prototype precisely.
It was evem complaining about the difference between this:
int x()
{
[...]
}
and a prototype of
int x(void);
when assigning that function's address to a function pointer.
This quiets those warnings, without suppressing the mismatch
check altogether for more serious mismatches.
<Someone> reported that he applied an unID'd bag and it became
discovered as a bag of tricks even though a spellbook appeared on the floor
next to him rather than having a monster show up (the monster was a mimic).
Suppress the bag discovery unless you can see or sense a monster appear.
(This doesn't really achieve much for most players, who'll recognize the
bag because they know that only one type of container doesn't prompt to
take things out and/or put things in, but I think it does make sense.)
While mucking with bag of tricks I decided that to be consistent with
the behavior of other containers, the #tip command should release all the
monsters in the bag instead of just one.
And after doing that, I realized that horn of plenty ought to behave
much the same, so #tip will operate on it now. However, it won't be listed
as a likely candidate in the "which item?" prompt unless/until it has been
discovered. (Attempting to empty any other type of horn yields "nothing
happens", same as for a horn of plenty with no charges left.) Emptying a
horn of plenty in a shop can be extremely verbose, but I don't think that
qualifies as a bug and don't currently have any plans to alter it.
Several polymorph tweaks, most dealing with specifying form under
polymorph control or for wizard #polyself:
1) allow "were<critter>" and "human were<critter>" for your type of
<critter> when you're inflicted with lycanthropy; now you'll toggle
shape rather than be told "you cannot polymorph into that".
2) allow your own role; now you'll become a new man (or whatever race)
rather than get "you can't".
3) allow "human" to force a new man (or whatever) regardless of race.
No change for human characters, but elves, dwarves, and such can now
use either their own race or "human". (They never become humans.)
4) for wizard #polyself only, override the 20% chance of becoming a new
man instead of taking on the selected form. (This implicitly prevents
the annoying "your new form isn't healthy enough to survive" death
since your experience level won't drop below 1.)
5) remove a redundant drowning check in polyself(); it's already handled
in polymon() and polyman(for newman()) via spoteffects().
This also gets rid of an old use of 0 as not-a-valid-monster (not
responisble for any bugs though since giant ants aren't lycanthropes).
The user (<email deleted>) who recently suggested a
dump command for containers also wanted atmospheric sounds on levels which
have altars. Right now we'd have to find unattended altars the hard way
(by scanning the entire level) but we could add a counter (or set of
counters, one per alignment) like for fountains and sinks if we really
wanted to do that. [Now that I think about it, the #overview patch may
have already done something of the sort.] But what noises would an altar
be expected to produce? This only adds sounds for temples, where the
attending priest can be the source of the noise.
I'm not real thrilled with the initial set of sounds, particularly
the hallucinating one, but the implementation works. The "carcass" one is
a little clumsy; it's intended to add a hint for new players who haven't
figured out what the #offer command does.
Saving the game while punished, not carrying the attached ball,
and while swallowed by a purple worm resulted in losing the
ball and chain.
Since the required information was not being written to the
save file at all, I couldn't come up with a clean way to do this
for the branch, and preserve save file format. I could think
of lots of kludgy ways to do it (insert ball and chain into
the hero's inventory prior to saving, and remove it on restore, etc.)
When the hero receives the quest artifact "got it" message, set the
artifact's dknown bit in case the hero is blinded. That message describes
the object by name, effectively the same as seeing it up close. (This
would have prevented the "now wearing an Eyes of the Overworld" grammar bug
for monks but not for non-monks, so the previous fix is still necessary.)
This patch by <email deleted> was released
when 3.4.1 was current and has been incorporated into slash'em. It is
extremely useful while using ranged weapons. When both autopickup and
pickup_thrown are enabled, walking across previously thrown objects will
pick them up even if they don't match the current pickup_types list.
[See cvs log for patchlevel.h for longer description.]
This patch by <email deleted> was released
when 3.4.1 was current and has been incorporated into slash'em. It is
extremely useful while using ranged weapons. When both autopickup and
pickup_thrown are enabled, walking across previously thrown objects will
pick them up even if they don't match the current pickup_types list.
(Autopickup exceptions weren't around when the patch was first developed
and while those can be used for this purpose if you're willing to name
every object prior to throwing it, pickup_thrown is much more convenient.
Especially when you run out of weapons and resort to throwing pick-axes,
unicorn horns, and spare suits of banded mail at that floating eye who
rudely refuses to die.) If you drop a previously thrown object (after
getting it back into your inventory again, of course), its was_thrown bit
will be clear and subsequent walking over it behaves in the regular
autopickup manner. There's no special stacking handling; if a thrown
object lands on a compatable object and they stack, the combined stack is
subject to pickup_thrown handling.
The original patch updated makedefs to add an entry for pickup_thrown
patch to the options list displayed by #version; I've left that out. It
also cleared the was_thrown bit in the pickup code, resulting in being
sticky for boomerangs and Mjollnir (where throwing, catching, and then
dropping those would result in behaving as if they had most recently been
thrown rather than dropped). I've moved that to the add-to-inventory code
instead to fix this. The original patch also put the pickup_thrown bit
into iflags instead of flags in order to avoid invalidating save files;
I've moved it to flags where it belongs and added a patchlevel.h update.
I've also reworded the Guidebook entries slightly. [The original patch
can be obtained from <Someone>'s "NetHack Patch Database" at
http://bilious.homelinux.org/ under the "browse" heading. I didn't hang
on the exact URL; sorry.]
I think objects stolen from the hero should have their was_thrown bit
set (or else add a new was_stolen bit, which seems like overkill) so that
recovering stolen objects will become simpler after the thief has been
tracked down and dealt with, but I haven't done that here.
The code to have Izchak recognize the Candelabrum of Invocation
instead of just being uninterested in an item not stocked in his shop was
being skipped when the character is hallucinating. Make it work for any
lighting store (slash'em sometimes has another candle shop, run by a
randomly named shopkeeper), and make it recogize Izchak even when
hallucinating. Also, have him give a message about the need for 7 candles
if the candelabrum doesn't already have them attached.
Fix the bug From a bug report.alt.org server, where killing a monster by closing the
castle drawbridge resulted in a panic after the dead monster's possessions
were dropped into the moat and a potion of acid exploded in the process.
water_damage() deleted the object but had no way to tell flooreffects()
that it was gone, so flooreffects() couldn't tell its own caller not to
place and stack the object. After that, a chunk of freed memory became
part of the floor objects chain and eventually triggered a panic which
tried to make a save file but whose reason didn't get logged properly.
Provide a common routine that always does the right
thing with respect to timers and weight when altering
obj->corpsenm, and use it throughout the code.
Provide a command to easily verify that the rumor true/false
boundary offsets are correct for the rumors file.
If the boundary is pointing mid-line, the rumor at the boundary
won't decrypt properly.

Dungeon Map Overview Patch for Nethack 3.4.3
Version 3
=============================================================================
Changelist:
v3: Changed #level to #annotate to avoid #levelchange collision. Fixed
handling of elemental planes and astral plane (oops). Changed
formatting to be slightly closer to print_dungeon()'s. Should be
"final" version for 3.4.3.
v2: Added tracking of trees. Changed ctrl-m command to ctrl-o. Portals
displayed as "sealed" instead of "closed".
v1: First release.
(Note: all versions are mutually save compatible.)
=============================================================================
This patch creates a dungeon map overview that is recorded as the player
explores the dungeon. I was tired of returning to a game a few days later
and having no idea what the dungeon looked like. Trying to name pieces
of armor with shorthand didn't work so well as an intermediate solution
either, especially around nymphs.
It can be assumed that this map is in the mind of the hero and thus
can't be stolen, can be read when blind, or when buried, or when the hero
doesn't have any hands, or eyes, or hands free, or...etc. On the other hand,
this implies that the hero doesn't remember all of the details ("a fountain",
"some fountains", "many fountains") and that the map is subject to amnesia
when applicable.
This overview tracks fountains, altars, stores, temples, sinks, thrones,
trees, and dungeon branches. It attempts to not spoil the player nor
reveal more information than the hero knows. For this reason, it only
tracks dungeon features found in the guidebook and dungeon branches.
This patch breaks save file compatibility. Sorry.
Added commands
=============================================================================
#overview (ctrl-o, if not in wizard mode) - displays overview
#annotate (ctrl-n, if using numpad) - names current level
Example Output From #overview
=============================================================================
The Dungeons of Doom: levels 1 to level 15
Level 1:
A fountain
Level 3: (My stash.)
An altar, some fountains
Stairs down to The Gnomish Mines
Level 7:
Many fountains
Level 8:
Stairs up to Sokoban, level 7
Level 15:
A general store
Sealed portal to The Quest
The Gnomish Mines: levels 4 to level 7
Level 7: <- You are here
Many stores, some fountains, a temple
More Details
=============================================================================
The overview shows only levels that have anything interesting to display and
doesn't show branches that don't have any interesting levels.
To avoid the map revealing more information than the hero knows, the overview
only displays things that the hero has seen or touched. (If the hero
blinds herself, levitates above a known fountain, and obliterates it with a
wand of digging, the overview will still say that there is a fountain.)
This is done, sadly, by adding 6 bits to the rm struct to track the last
known dungeon type. On the other hand, this change could potentially allow
a window port to do something like drawing an item and a fountain on the same
square.
Things That Could Be Better And Maybe Some Feedback Would Help
=============================================================================
"<- You Are Here" is pretty goofy
-...but an indicator of some sort is nice.
=============================================================================
Many thanks to all the kind folks on r.g.r.n. who had very good feedback
about this patch, in particular L (for the trees), <Someone> Papaganou (for the
#annotate suggestion and some formatting feedback), and <Someone> (for the suggestion
of just overriding ctrl-o instead of using the very broken ctrl-m.)

There were routines that were passed the
object name as an argument. Before the oextra
patch, ONAME() always returned a valid pointer
to a location within the obj struct. The oextra
patch worked around those cases by
using a temporary variable that was either set
to ONAME (if the obj passed the has_oname() test),
or to "" (pointer to an empty string) if no name was
present.
Since that might be a common thing to do, provide
the safe_oname() routine that you can use as a
function parameter without having to worry about
about whether ONAME(obj) is valid, and without
the need for the temporary variable.
It seemed inappropriate to allocate and tack on an oextra
structure just to mark it as unmergable, and the oextra
struct itself wouldn't be released until a save/restore took
place.
This uses one of the freed up oattached bits to prevent the merge.
The revised newmail() wouldn't compile (Strncpy doesn't exist, `buf'
was an array of pointers rather than of char). Simplify it substantially,
and adjust the one caller (vms) that relied on the old convoluted bit.
move oattached and oname and other things that vary
the size of the obj structure into a separate
non-adjacent oextra structure, similar to what has
already been done for mextra. The obj structure
itself becomes a fixed size.
New macros:
#define ONAME(o) ((o)->oextra->oname)
#define OMID(o) ((o)->oextra->omid)
#define OMONST(o) ((o)->oextra->omonst)
#define OLONG(o) ((o)->oextra->olong)
#define OMAILCMD(o) ((o)->oextra->omailcmd)
#define has_oname(o) ((o)->oextra && ONAME(o))
#define has_omid(o) ((o)->oextra && OMID(o))
#define has_omonst(o) ((o)->oextra && OMONST(o))
#define has_olong(o) ((o)->oextra && OLONG(o))
#define has_omailcmd(o) ((o)->oextra && OMAILCMD(o))
changed macros:
has_name(mon) becomes has_mname(mon) to correspond.
The CVS repository was tagged with
NETHACK_PRE_OEXTRA
before commiting these, and
tagged with
NETHACK_POST_OEXTRA
immediately after. The diff
between those two tags is this oextra patch.
The associated mail daemon changes to use an oextra
structure instead of a hidden command located in the
name after the terminating NUL, have not been tried
or tested.
<Someone> suggested that digging down on a land mine with a pick-axe ought
to set if off. I agree; this implements that and also for bear traps. In
the bear trap case, if you dig down once trapped, you will destroy that
trap explicitly rather than replace it with a pit, so it's now possible to
escape from one without leaving another trap in your wake. Once the bear
trap is gone, further digging there will make a pit as usual. While stuck
in one, digging down poses a modest risk of harming yourself.
|You now wield a pick-axe.
|You start digging downward. A bear trap closes on your foot!
|You start digging downward. You destroy the bear trap with your pick-axe.
|You continue digging downward. You dig a pit in the floor.
|You start digging downward. You dig a hole through the floor.
|You fall through...
[It seems a bit strange that finishing a pit discards all digging context,
so that resuming within the pit in order to make a hole "starts" digging
rather than "continues" it.]
Digging down with a wand or spell will disarm these two types of traps
and then leave the corresponding object (which may or may not fall through
the resulting hole, like any other object there). Digging to the side via
magic while trapped in a pit will also disarm such traps when it encounters
them. (When not in a pit, a digging beam which simply passes over an armed
bear trap or land mine won't have any effect on the trap.) Digging to the
side via tool behaves somewhat oddly ("no room for the rubble"?) and will
probably need some tweaking before eventual release; at present it doesn't
reach adjacent traps so didn't need any land mine or bear trap handling.
I put the fixes entry in the new features section.
<Someone> reported that thitu() was adding d20 damage for silver object
hitting silver-hating hero even though all the callers were using dmgval()
which also does that, resulting in doubled silver bonus/penalty. This
fixes that (including for boomerangs thrown by player, which weren't using
dmgval(), to handle a hyptothetical silver boomerang). While testing it,
I noticed that there was no "the silver sears your flesh" message when a
monster hit you with a wielded silver weapon, so this fixes that too.
(How did we miss that? And how did <Someone>? :-)
Move some internals-related code out of port-specific main so that
it isn't duplicated a bunch of times. One minor side-effect of this
change is that if you auto-pickup something at the very start of a game,
it will happen after any full moon/new moon/Friday 13th message rather
than before. There's a second change for some: the shared main() used
by several of the micro ports had a small difference in game play--if you
saved a game while on an engraving, it would automatically be read when
you resume--that will now occur for everybody [Elbereth weenies rejoice!].
pcmain() was also calling update_inventory() at start of play. That's
unnecessary for new games, where inventory initialization triggers a call
to it for each item added to your pack; but I wasn't sure about restored
games, so everybody gets it there now.
The Mac and BeOS ports evidently haven't been touched it some time;
they still referenced flags.move which got replaced by context.move quite
a while back. The Windows GUI code has a declaration for mswin_moveloop()
which appears to be non-existant, but I left it alone. I assume that the
Qt interface uses the existing main() routines; at least I couldn't find
any start of game code specific to it. vmsmain's revised main() is the
only one which has been tested.
Something I encountered while playing slash'em a while back, but
relevant to nethack: "Its orcish spears shatter from the force of your
blow!". I was using a two-handed weapon (at skilled or expert level) to
fight an invisible monster which was wielding a stack of multiple spears
(slash'em gives them out in groups of 3 for monsters' starting inventory).
After killing it, I found 2 orcish spears along with an invisible corpse
of somebody-or-other the Kobold King. The message suggested that the
whole spear stack had been destroyed (and the weapon shattering code in
hmon_hitmon() clearly expects that to be the case), but only one of them
had actually gotten used up.
I can't recall whether "shatter" was actually given as singular or
plural at the time; nethack handles that aspect correctly. Only object
destruction needed tweaking.

This addresses the eating part of that report, but the hero
has to get caught doing it.
This one turned out to be more effort than I had
originally anticipated.
We had a bug report requesting that zapping a wand of digging
laterally while in a pit should dig beside you. That seemed
like a reasonable enough request, but this ended up with
the following results:
- needed to check where this should not be permitted, or at
least where there should be special-case code because there is
something such as furniture on the surface above the dig
point.
- now tracks conjoined pits through new fields in the trap
structure, hence the pathlevel increment. The array of
8 boolean values represents each of the 8 directions
around a pit.
- Previously, pits could be adjacent to each other as two
individual pits, in which case moving between them
results in a fall as you went into the next pit. That
behavior is preserved.
- Pits created either by zapping a wand of digging
laterally while in a pit, or by "clearing debris"
between two adjacent pits via a pick-axe, sets the
conjoined fields for those two pits. You cannot
create a brand new adjacent pit via pick-axe, only
with the wand.
- The hero can pass between conjoined pits without
falling.
- dighole() was hijacked for adjacent pit digging,
so the ability to pass coordinates to it and
its downstream functions was added (dig_up_grave()
for example). dighole() does pretty much everything
appropriately for this adjacent digging, more so
than calling digactualhole() directly.
- moving into a conjoined pit that has spikes still
does damage, but less so that "falling" into the
spiked pit, and you "step on" the spikes rather
than falling into them.
- Not done: should pits with the conjoined fields
set be referred to as 'trenches' rather than pits
in messages and identifications?
- restore intended behaviour of kill_genocided_monsters().
It has been incorrect since the chameleon overhaul in June 2004.
- eliminate CHAM_ORDINARY and use NON_PM instead.
From a bug report: when creating a
level, anthole rooms can be generated even when no ants are left, unlike
beehives which get suppressed once killer bees are gone. Also, if some
ants are available but the type chosen for the current level isn't (in his
case, soldier ants had been genocided), the anthole was filled will random
monsters instead of picking another type of ant. This fixes both issues.
Random monsters will only occur if the last type of ant gets used up while
filling an anthole that was started when some ants were available, same as
how monster generation for beehives and barracks works.

passes wand type to explode() as a negative value for the case
where the wand type isn't mapped to an AD_* explosion type.
Then explode() converts it to a positive and passes it to zap_over_floor().
Remove a couple of false comments about Luck, and an unreachable
switch case based upon them. I don't know if the comment in you.h was ever
true, but it was false by the time Kevin brought across assorted changes
from slash'em however many years ago. Full moon does not change the range
of possible Luck values, and ``rn2((Luck + 6) >> 1)'' produces a value
between 0 and 8 for prayer result, never 9. Natural luck is always within
the range of -10 to +10, and extra luck from carrying blessed or cursed
luckstone can add or subtract another 3. Full moon and Friday the 13th
change the equilibrium point for luck timeout but do not change the overall
range of possible values, which remains at -13 to +13.
Implement the following suggestion by <email deleted>
- Reading a scroll of light while confused should
create a hostile yellow light (black light if cursed).
It only creates the light monster effect 1 out of 5 times.
Something I noticed during a level change in slash'em:
You hear the sounds of civilization. You fly down the stairs.
The first message ought to follow the second. Our only arrival messages
that are handled via the special level loader occur in the endgame where
travel is by magic portal, and the transit message given for portals is
for entering one rather than exiting at the far side, so this sequencing
problem can't currently be noticed in nethack. But sooner or later there
will be levels reachable by stairs and having entry messages, or there'll
be some feedback added when magic portal transport finishes, and then we'd
get bitten by this.
Tested by adding an arrival message to each of the bigroom variants.
Make a not-very-robust fix for the report from <email deleted> about
being told a scoll disappears as you read it, then for the case of cursed
remove curse being told that the scroll disintegrates. He missed similar
case for scroll of fire erupting into flames after it had disappeared.
This suppresses the "disappears" part of the scroll reading message for
those two cases, but won't be very reliable if other scroll messages
referring to the scroll itself get introduced in the future. [Several
paths through scroll of fire won't report that it burns, and now it doesn't
give the disappears message any more. I don't think that's worth worrying
about; the scroll leaving inventory after burning up is implicit.]
Also cut down on redundant feedback for several scrolls (genocide,
charging, identify, stinking cloud) that start off by informing the player
what they are. That's only needed when the the player doesn't already
know the type of scroll. I've always felt it silly to be told that I've
"found a scroll of genocide" when I'm intentionally reading a known scroll
of genocide. All these types of scroll give a subsequent prompt which
makes them recongizable if you somehow manage to choose the wrong object
when picking the one to read.
Lastly, make spell of identify behave like ordinary uncursed scroll of
identify by default instead of ususally ID'ing multiple items. Now you'll
need to be skilled or better in divination spells skill in order to get the
blessed scroll effect out of it. And give some feedback if the spell is
cast when not carrying any inventory; it was just silently moving on to the
user's next command in that case.
Move NO_SPELL and MAX_SPELL_STUDY from hack.h to spell.h. I didn't
even remember that the latter existed when I put MAX_SPELL_STUDY in the
former recently.
Add a couple of new "spell is almost gone" messages that occur when
casting spells. One matches up with yesterday's change for when you can
re-read a spellbook to reinforce memory of a known spell.
When "too hungry", you can't cast any spells, except detect food so
that you can find something to eat. When "too weak" you couldn't cast any
spells at all; now you can cast restore ability so that you can recover
lost strength. [We still need to come up with a better crowning bonus for
monks than spellbook of restore ability.] I couldn't think of a reasonable
exception for the "can't cast when carrying too much" restriction. If we
can come up with one (levitation?), then remove curse could/should become
an exception for the "no free hands" restriction.
This fixes the monnam() family of functions so that hallucinated
personal names, such as Barney, won't be prefixed by "the". It uses the
same hack as is used for shopkeeper names: single character prefix on
names which warrant some handling other than the default. rndmonnam()
strips that off, so unmodified callers (which is almost all of them...)
retain the same behavior has before.
There are several capitalized names that I have no idea whether need
to be treated as personal names:
Evil Iggy - name, or type of monster named after someone?
Totoro - no clue
Invid - ditto
Vorlon - just guessing that it's a species rather than an individual.
I couldn't remember whether Godzilla was baby Godzilla's mother or father,
so I went with female there. So far, no callers of rndmonnam() care about
gender so it doesn't make any difference. Because of that, I didn't look
though the non-capitalized names to see whether any should be all male or
all female and need one of the other prefix codes.
I've added "were-rabbit" from the Wallace & Gromit movie. The recent
ads for its DVD release reminded me that I was going to add that back when
the movie first came out. I haven't seen it but the creature name fits.
I also fixed Smokey Bear. Smokey the Bear is a common misspelling;
I thought we had fixed that ages ago, back when people still had some clue
as to who in the world he was.
From a bug report... some
special case handling for polymorph of spellbooks never worked as intended.
It's possible to polymorph a spellbook, use it to learn a new spell, and
then repeat as many times as you like unless/until you run out of polymorph
magic or the small chance of "object shuddering" causes it to be destroyed.
Polymorph was incrementing the book's ``number of times read'' field with
the intent that it would fade to blank after being read 3 times (which
turns out to the 4 times since the check is actually for re-reading 3 times
after the first). That didn't work because the spestudied field was ignored
when learning a new spell, only checked when relearning a known spell.
Now it will be checked when learning a new spell, and also the book
tweaking during polymorph is slightly more elaborate. If you happen to
get a blank book during the item selection, it will have a read counter
of 0 and can be re-polymorphed into something readable. But if you get
some other book, its read counter will be set to one greater than than the
original book's (same as before). And then the counter will be checked
to see if it has gone over the limit, in which case the book will be made
blank and its counter will be reset to a random value. Re-polymorphing
that blank book again has 1/4 chance apiece among the following cases
book gets blanked again; goto step 1...
book is non-blank but too faint to read; reading attempt will fail
book can be read normally and then re-read once
book can be read normally and then re-read twice
which is more inline with the intent of the original special case code.
It's actually slightly nastier since you'll occasionally get a book for a
spell you don't know yet but then not be able to learn it from that book.
Cut down on the excessive verbosity generated when entering a temple.
The first time you enter a particular temple (or more accurately, the
temple attended by a particular priest), you still get the three message
sequence
The <priest of foo> intones:
Pilgrim, you enter a sacred place!
You have a strange forbidding feeling...
or
You experience a strange sense of peace.
except that the last one doesn't say "strange" any more. On subsequent
visits to the same temple, you usually won't get the first introductory
message any more, often won't get the second entry one, and sometimes
won't even get the final one, depending upon how much time has elapsed
since the previous entry. The old verbosity could really be infuriating
when attempting to lug corpses to the altar before they spoil. Even
though the messages don't affect the passage of time, it always felt as
if they were slowing you down. And even when you weren't in any hurry,
it required at least one and often 2 or even 3 responses to --More--
depending upon the length of the deity's name and whether some other
message was also delivered on the same turn (fairly common in minetown).
Saving and restoring, or leaving the level and returning, resets
the priest's memory of when the messages were last given, so the next
entry after that behaves similar to the very first. This was initially
intended for cleanup prior to saving bones data, but it seemed reasonable
to have it apply to the current game too. Unattended temples now also
have a 25% chance of not giving any message when entering. That one is
random rather than based on the passage of time since last entry; there's
no priest available to track the latter data.
This patch alters wiz_identify so that it displays an
inventory menu with all items shown identified
without actually identifying them.
You can just press ^I (or whatever the wiz_identify command
is) a second time, while the menu is displayed to actually identify
them (tested with TTY menus only).
Add an introductory comment for each type of extension. Also move
ANGRY/NOTANGRY shopkeeper macros from old eshk.h out of the common header
and into shk.c so that their use doesn't end up spreading into other code.
Not fixed: entry #9 in the block comment at the top is truncated
mid-sentence.
Reveal more tin details at end of game disclosure.
b - an uncursed carrot
c - an uncursed tin of broiled kobold meat
d - an uncursed tin of stir fried fox meat
e - 4 uncursed tripe rations
f - 4 uncursed food rations
g - an uncursed cream pie
n - 4 uncursed tins of spinach
o - 3 uncursed tins of pureed newt meat
p - an uncursed homemade tin of fox meat
Note that in the case of homemade and rotten
it sounded better to have the term before the
word tin, rather than after:
homemade tins of newt meat
rather than:
tins of homemade newt meat
The wishing code should probably be
changed to reflect this so people can wish for
a "homemade tin of newt". As it stands, they must
wish for a "tin of homemade newt" which differs
from the final display. That is not included.
Add new_mname/free_mname functions to make monster name handling be
more like the other extended data and to hide mextra details a bit more.
Add some casts where int and unsigned are being intermixed. Simplify
christen_monst(); it ought to be changed to have type `void' but I wanted
to avoid modifying another ten or so files.
<Someone> noticed the leftover zeromextra, this removes it.
Using memset() on a possibly failed mextra allocation was inapprorpriate,
so replace the newmextra() macro with a function.
Prevent a crash in christen_monst() if mextra was not initialized.
