Reorganize the recent wizard mode control: move set_playmode() from
xxxmain.c to the core, and have it call new authorize_wizard_mode() to do
the port-specific part. If the set_playmode() call during startup doesn't
result in running in wizard mode (either because not allowed or user
didn't request it), it will be called again during restore if the save
file is from a wizard mode game.
For ports which check character name for authorization, players will
have to use `nethack -u whatever -D' (or options for name and playmode) to
restore a wizard mode save file if WIZARD has been changed from "wizard".
plname[] from a wizard mode saved game will always have that value, so if
it's not the right one players will need to get authorized by the startup
code before loading the save file.
Wizard mode or explore mode can be forced on (via -D or -X on the
command line, or now via OPTIONS=playmode:debug|explore) when restoring
a saved game; explore mode handling was confined to restgamestate(), but
wizard mode handling was replicated in every main(). Treat `wizard' the
same as `discover'. Also, prevent a new game started when restore fails
from using the old game's option settings if partial restore attempt got
far enough to load the flags struct. And update bemain.c and macmain.c
to catch up with the others modified by the playmode patch.
[see cvs log for src/options.c for some additional info]
Relief for the command-line impaired. Allow player to request
explore or wizard mode via run-time config file or NETHACKOPTIONS.
Validation is left to xxxmain() and has been updated for Unix, VMS, and
ports which share pcmain. Mac and Be appear to allow any user to access
wizard mode, and may not need any modification, although they'll continue
to have the old buglet of running with both wizard and discover flags set
if player uses `nethack -X -D'. This may or may not work as-is for the
Qt interface depending upon whether it goes through one of the xxxmain()'s
mentioned above [someone needs to make sure that it doesn't allow Qt on
Unix to bypass the (username == WIZARD_NAME) test when user requests
wizard mode].
[See cvs log for src/cmd.c for more complete description.]
This turns clearlocks() into a no-op during the period when the UNIX
port is asking the user to confirm whether to overwrite an existing game.
Also, this removes the duplication of code and function between hangup()
and end_of_input(), and it simplifies the check for whether hangups are
supported by adding new macro HANGUPHANDLING. (I don't think global.h is
the best place to be defining that but I couldn't figure out where else
it would fit, other than repeating for individual xxxconf.h files.) And
adds a couple more done_hup checks to try to cope with situations where
rhack() is being bypassed. Lastly, having readchar() return EOF was
ignored for non-UNIX configs; now everybody gets ESC instead of letting
EOF be seen further inside the core.
Clean up the preprocessing associated with the
loadable symbol stuff.
Base it on new LOADSYMSETS, rather than on the
previously existing ASCIIGRAPH preprocessor define.
- Instead of checking for the Rogue level, check which
graphics are engaged (PRIMARY or ROGUESET) in the
SYMHANDLING() macro.
- track which graphics are active through 'currentgraphics'.
- Instead of symset and roguesymset and symhandling and roguehandling
variables, have symset and symhandling be arrays of two, with the
following indexes:
PRIMARY
ROGUESET
That reduced the amount of repeated code.
(Not to be confused with the 'symset' and 'roguesymset' config file options
both of which still exist)
- the symbol routines were adjusted to pass
the index , rather than 'rogueflag' and coding to roguesymset etc.
Other than fixing bugs that are encountered, this is probably
the last of the symbol stuff, with the exception of
making the symset and roguesymset config file options
accept the keyword value "default".
This is an overhaul to the NetHack drawing mechanism.
- eliminates the need to have separate lists in drawing.c
for the things and their associated explanations by grouping
those thing together on the same inializer in a struct.
- replaces all of these options: IBMgraphics, DECgraphics, MACgraphics,
graphics, monsters, objects, boulder, traps, effects
- drawing.c contains only the set of NetHack standard symbols for
the main game and a set of NetHack standard symbols for the
roguelevel.
- introduces a symbols file that contains named sets of
symbols that can be loaded at run time making it extensible
for situations like multinational code pages like those reported
by <Someone>, without hardcoding additional sets into the game code.
- symbols file uses names for the symbols, so offsets will not break
when new things are introduced into the game, the way the older
config file uchar load routines did.
- symbols file only contains exceptions to the standard NetHack
set, not entire sets so they are much less verbose than all of
the g_FILLER() entries that were previously in drawing.c
- 'symset' and 'roguesymset' config file options for
preselecting a symbol set from the file called 'symbols'
at startup time. The name of the symbols file is not under the
users control, only the symbol set name desired from within the
symbols file is.
- 'symset' config file option loads a desired symbol set for
everything but the rogue level.
- 'roguesymset' config file option loads a desired symbol set
for the rogue level.
- 'SYMBOLS' config file option allows the user to specify replacement
symbols on a per symbol basis. You can specify as many or as few symbols
as you wish. The symbols are identified by a name:value pair, and line
continuation is supported. Multiple symbol assignments can be made on
the same line if each name:value pair is separated by a comma.
For example:
SYMBOLS = S_bars:\xf0, S_tree: \xf1, S_room:\xfa \
S_fountain:\xf4 \
S_boulder:0
- 'symbols' file has the following structure:
start: DECgraphics
Handling: DEC
S_vwall: \xf8 # meta-x, vertical rule
S_hwall: \xf1 # meta-q, horizontal rule
finish
start: IBMgraphics
Handling: IBM
S_vwall: \xb3 # meta-3, vertical rule
S_hwall: \xc4 # meta-D, horizontal rule
finish
- 'symbols' file added to the source tree in the dat directory
- Port Makefiles/scripts will need to be adjusted to move them into
HACKDIR destination
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.
o Add support for zlib compression via ZLIB_COMP in config.h (ZLIB_COMP
and COMPRESS are mutually exclusive).
o rlecomp and zerocomp are run time options available if RLECOMP and
ZEROCOMP are defined, but not turned on by default if either COMPRESS
or ZLIB_COMP are defined.
o Add information to the save file about internal compression options
used when writing the save file, particularly rlecomp and zerocomp
support.
o Automatically adjust rlecomp and zerocomp (if support compiled in)
when reading in an existing savefile that was saved with those options
turned on. Still allows writing out of savefile in preferred format.
o In order to support zlib and not conflict with compress and uncompress
routines there, the NetHack internal functions were changed to
nh_uncompress and nh_compress as done in the zlib contribution received
in 1999 from <Someone>.
I tagged the sources NETHACK_3_5_0_PREZLIB prior to applying these
changes.
Add the ability to select the windowtype on the command line on Unix using
a new -wwindowtype option. I had thought the proposed patch could core
dump, but the default windowtype selection occurs earlier and ensures
that raw_print will always work. So, the only problem with the proposed
patch was it didn't move the linux and sco special-case code until after
the selection was made. That special-case code really should be moved to
to wintty.c, IMO since it doesn't affect other windowtypes.
Use fqname buffer 1 for restoring the save file (just like save does when
creating it) so the value won't change out from under the code in unixmain.
- Also moved a tty-specific hack in docompress_file that was causing
the 'y' response to the "keep the save file" prompt to be echoed twice.
This is an initial round of SAFERHANGUP hangup changes. It introduces
SAFERHANGUP, provides the core framework, and enables it for UNIX.
Window-port changes are provided for win/tty, win/X11 and win/gnome. Qt
changes should be forthcoming after having Warwick look at them.
window.doc is updated so windowport maintainers have an clue what needs to
be done to support SAFERHANGUP.
These changes clean up build warnings and allow the resulting "NetHack"
Application icons to be dragged around freely in the Finder, as is expected
for Mac apps.
