<Someone> reported that randomly placed aquatic monsters can end up in
lava. The placement code allowed lava whenever the WET flag was passed to
it. This was so passing (WET|DRY) would match all locations, but it's not
appropriate for when only the flag WET is used. Since we have no levels
currently affected by this bug, I fixed it only in the trunk.
<Someone> suggested that nagas should eat. This seems reasonable.
I made all but the black omnivores. The black are similar to the AD&D
spirit naga, which are listed as carnivores, while AD&D's other nagas are
omnivores, so I took the same approach.
Change the code involved to use a new #define for the field, like other
overloaded uses of corpsenm. Also remove one check for this field from
potion.c: there are no blessed potions from sinks.
There was some unreachable code in dokick related to drawbridges. Since I
liked the current "Ouch!" behavior, I moved the drawbridge test inside the
IS_STWALL code but made sure to update the maploc so kickstr would return
the right thing. Since there may be more than one drawbridge (perhaps it
should test for Valkyrie?) changed the kickstr prefix for drawbridge to "a".
If you try to put a saddle on a cockatrice, you turn to stone,
even if wearing gloves. This seemed inconsistent with other cases,
and I couldn't think of a reason why you'd touch the cockatrice with
another body part, so I added the uarmg test.
Introduce a new set of functions to manage delayed killers in the trunk, used
in addressing the various reports of delayed killer confusion. Since existing
delayed killers are related to player properties, the delayed killers are
keyed by uprop indexes. I did this to avoid adding yet another set of
similar identifiers.
- the new delayed_killer() is used for stoning, sliming, sickness, and
delayed self-genocide while polymorphed. Some other timed events don't
use it (and didn't use the old delayed_killer variable) because they
use a fixed message when the timeout occurs.
- A new data structure, struct kinfo, is used to track both delayed and
immediate killers. This encapsulates all the info involved with
identifying a killer. The structure contains a buffer, which subsumes the
old killer_buf and several other buffers that didn't/couldn't use killer_buf.
- the killer list is saved and restored as part of the game state.
- the special case of usick_cause was removed and a delayed killer list
entry is now used in its place
- common code dealing with (un)sliming is moved to a new make_slimed function
- attempted to update all make dependencies for new end.c -> lev.h
dependency, sorry if I messed any up
+ Separate the two uses of flags.soundok.
+ Player-settable option is now called "acoustics".
+ Deafness is now handled as a full-fledged attribute.
+ Check for deafness in You_hear(), rather than caller.
+ Check for deafness in caller, rather than verbalize(),
because gods can speak to characters in spite of deafness.
+ Since changes are being made to prop.h, reorder it to the
same order as youprop.h and enlightenment.
There are still some extraneous checks and missing checks
for deafness, which will be followed up in a future patch.
Because of the size of this patch and its savefile incompatibilities,
it is only being applied to the trunk code. Portions of this patch
were written by Michael Allison.
trunk and branch:
Do not limit role selection list by race/gender/alignment. The default.nh
selection will still be honored but the list itself will include every
possible role.
Some interface tweaks for main trunk:
- improved calculation of the size of the menu window
- made auto-arrange windows on/off option (it was reset automatically
which was unintuitive and in some cases annoying, IMO)
Fix the reported bug of problems after casting stone-to-flesh spell
on self while wielding a statue. Pointers for worn items weren't kept in
sync and various potential symptoms could occur (most easily visible one
being that ')' falsely reported the no longer existing statue as still
wielded; report stated that one crash was observed). This bug predates
3.4.2 and was probably present ever since stone-to-flesh got introduced.
It makes sense that if you cannot normally move to a location containing a
boulder, dismounting there should be avoided if possible. It seems
that it should be possible to land there if there's no other choice.
Perhaps doing so should result in damage, but that's not in this patch.
<Someone> pointed out the inappropriate appearance of the 3.4.2 message when
fog clouds have you engulfed if you happen to be polymorphed into an aquatic
creature. It does seem that a fog cloud should not cause added damage to
amphibious creatures, which includes breathless (but non-flaming) monsters.
I also thought another message was more appropriate for flaming creatures
(see on_fire()), and added a special case for that.
gulpum was missing symmetric code and I added it there too.
This change adds a new flaming() macro and uses it in several places
where the list of flaming monsters was tested. on_fire() didn't list
salamanders as already being on fire, but should have. A couple other
cases were not updated to include flaming sphere.
While wearing the Eyes of the Overworld, one could use a hook or pole thru
walls. The bug report thought they should work past a boulder, but I
disagree, given a pole or hook's rigid nature, and did not special case that.
couldsee() is not affected by the Eyes, so use that after checking cansee().
Incorporate various killer message grammar fixes suggested by <Someone>.
Mostly these deal with using the proper killer_format and prefix ("the" or
no "the") for unique and type_is_pname monsters, or death to to eating
their corpses.
One case is handled by a general fix to name_to_mon to allow it to deal
with "Croesus' corpse".
The pre-3.4.1 topten behavior for "starved to death" messages is also restored.
Some changes for standard C platforms, to avoid declaring errno explictly.
Such platforms should declare errno in errno.h, which is already included
in the files in question.
Nethack's manes are based on AD&D manes which are in turn based on the
manes of Roman legend. They are supposed to be spirits of the dead.
To that end, added them to the nonliving() macro. The biggest behavioral
change is that death spells no longer effect them, which does technically
make them a bit tougher but also makes sense. Also, they're so wimpy, it's
hard to believe anyone would use a death/disintegration on them anyway.
The choice was to avoid one of the two sellobj() calls in in_container.
Since I liked the message ordering "put gold into... credit" better than
"credit... put gold into", the code now avoids the 1st sellobj call for coins.

This patch:
- collects all context/tracking related fields from flags
into a new structure called "context."
It also adds the following to the new structure:
- stethoscope turn support
- victual support
- tin support

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.
As suggested in a message from <Someone>, add a rumor and an oracle
regarding priestly donations. Keni's suggested wording was incorporated.
A spelling error in another oracle is also fixed.
This patch introduces a change to yname() and Yname2() that avoids the
possessive "your" for the hero's normal, fully identified artifacts.
Quest artifacts still get the possessive, as do all other objects and all
objects not in the hero's possession. shk_your()/Shk_Your() are used in
many places with a specific, generalized name for the object, so I didn't
introduce the artifact behavior there, although I did change them to append
a space, which simplified some other code. Through added use of yname(),
there may be some places that used to just say "corpse" that will now be more
descriptive via yname()'s use of cxname(). I'm sure <Someone> will point
out any such places that are too onerous, although nothing obviously is.
I took the opportunity to inspect many uses of "your" and even Your(). Two
new functions are also introduced, yobjnam() and Yobjnam2(), which work
like aobjnam() and yname() combined, because I found that many uses of
aobjnam() were preceeded by "your" and I couldn't generally provide the
desired behavior for artifacts (or future artifacts) without a combined
function. In some cases, this change allowed better sharing of code.
rust_dmg() still takes a string as input which is sometimes initialized
from xname() and often prepends "your" to it. Currently, this isn't a
problem since there currently are no normal, armor artifacts. If/when any
are introduced, rust_dmg() will need to be addressed.
The patch is for the trunk only. A lot of research was required and I
didn't feel the upside was there for repeating it in the 3.4.3 branch.
