Explicitly truncate the query prompt string to QBUFSZ-1 characters.
For tty and Amiga, no longer include the choices and default within that
length limit; use a bigger buffer to hold them along with the prompt.
[See cvs log for doc/window.doc for more details.]
Add putmixed() to the window port. It allows map symbols to
be included in the string by encoding them in a unique fashion.
This was done because Unicode symbols, for instance, could be
longer than the size of a char.
The encoding of the map symbols in this patch is done by
prefixing a glyph value with \GXXXX, where XXXX is a
random value for the current game. The reason for the random
prefix is to minimize the possibility that a player can trigger
the escape sequence processing within text under their control
(dog names, etc.) the way they could if the sequence was fixed
in the source code. The random prefix remains the same throughout
the lifetime of a game because message window strings are
saved in the save file.
(There was actually a bug present because of the embedded
character even before the recent symbol changes, because if
someone was using a different set of characters between games,
the saved messages would reflect the original characters, rather
than the current. That bug was introduced with the ability to
save messages to the savefile.)
A window port does not have to supply an XXX_putmixed() routine,
it can use genl_putmixed() which uses the old behavior of
embedding the sequence as a character within the string
and calling putstr(). genl_putmixed() takes care of the decoding
of the escape sequence.
This also #ifdef's out code in pager.c for converting a glyph
to a character, and uses mapglyph() to do that instead. Does
anyone see a problem with doing that through mapglyph instead
of repeating similar code within pager.c?
It appears that the Athena text widget in recent XFree86 distributions
does not properly honor the XawtextScrollWhenNeeded flag, so the text
widget created by X11_display_file() does not have a vertical scroll bar
when the text does not entirely fit in the window. I have seen this bug
in XFree86 versions from 4.0.2 through 4.3.0. Using XawtextScrollAlways
for the vertical scrollbar ensures it will always appear.
This provides the core support needed for status field highlighting.
This patch doesn't actually perform status field highlighting for any port,
but provides the core hooks for doing so.
The syntax is:
OPTIONS=hilite_status:{fieldname}/{threshold}/{below}/{above}
where {fieldname} is the name of a status field.
{threshold} is the value used as the threshold to trigger a display
change. It can also be set to "updown" to trigger
a display change whenever it rises or whenever it falls.
If you end the threshold value with %, then it signifies
that you want to trigger the display change based on the
percentage of maximum.
{below}, {above}
are the color or display attribute that you want to use when
the field value is underneath the threshold. Supported display
fields are: normal, inverse, bold, black, red, green,
brown, blue, magenta, cyan, gray, orange,
bright-green, yellow, bright-blue, bright-magenta,
bright-cyan, or white.
Valid field names are:
alignment, armor-class, carrying-capacity,
charisma, condition, constitution, dexterity,
dungeon-level, experience-level, experience,
gold, HD, hitpoints-max, hitpoints, hunger,
intelligence, power-max, power, score,
strength, time, title, wisdom

Introduction of a new set of window port status display
routines. The new routines are conditional on
STATUS_VIA_WINDOWPORT
being defined in config.h. See the experimental section,
where the #define resides for the time being.
I noticed a few panic messages contained newlines, and one included a naked
carriage return. panic() adds a newline itself, and also generally ensures
the message will be on a new line (the initial "oops" ensures the message
itself will be on a new lines). This patch removes the unneeded characters.

This seemed like a reasonable request. This patch:
- adds the core support required.
- adds the tty supporting routines.
Prompted by a question from Pat a long time back, this change finally allows
tiles or text map mode to be chosen dynamically at runtime (using the
"tiled_map" option) rather than having to pick it via an X resource and
keep your selection until you exit. This brings map mode selection up to a
level similar to most other graphical window ports.
In addition, the map mode automatically switches to text on the Rogue
level, also like other graphical window ports.
The default mode for the X11 binary is now tiles, once again, like most (all?)
other graphical window ports.
The patch also removes some dead X11 code that is unlikely to be useful again.
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.
<Someone> wishes to add a couple of new options to the wince port ("run fullscreen" and "do not use CE software keyboard").
The wincap field was full, so this adds a second field for
additional options.
to allow common parsing in the core, and direct access to the
results by the window port.
Notes:
o Adds a new field, wincap, to the window_procs
structure for setting bits related to the preference
features that the window port supports. This allows
run-time determination of whether a particular option
setting is applicable to the running window port. A
window-port is free to support as many, or as few,
of the available options as it wants. Ensure that
only the ones supported have their corresponding bit
set in window_proc.wincap. [see chart in
doc/window.doc for help with that.]
o The settings I stuck into wincap for each window
port are almost certainly not accurate, so each port
team should review them. You should only include
the ones that you will actually react to and make
adjustments for if the user changes that option.
Without the setting in wincap, the option won't even
show up in the 'O'ptions menu.
o preference_update() added to the window-port
interface, so that the window-port can be notified
if an option of interest (an option with its
corresponding bit set in wincap field) is
changed.
o provided a genl_preference_update() routine in
windows.c and used it for all the existing
window ports since they don't have a functional
one of their own yet.
o this messes around heavily with iflags and the options
arrays in options.c
o I hope I didn't break any port's existing code. I
tried not to. The Mac however, in particular, should
be looked at because it suffered a namespace collision
with what I was working on around fontname. It had
Mac specific font stuff in options.c. Please test
the Mac.
