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
-better handling of "more" prompt for messages that would have scrolled off the window
-support perm_invent
-menu option to add/remove windows captions
- restructured Install.nt quite a bit. It now contains instructions
to build a graphical nethack using NMAKE, too. I merged
the instructions for command line builds, and separated the IDE
build; that made more sense to me. It is shorter, too.
- added some lines to all Makefiles so they now build
NetHackW.exe when GRAPHICAL is "Y", and NetHack.exe
otherwise. I espacially did not test this on Borland.
Previously, the makefiles would always build NetHack.exe.
- changed the IDE files to build NetHackW.exe instead of
nethackw.exe. This is only cosmetic, but consistent with the
other executable.
- made a small change to pcmain.c, as the MinGW linker
cannot decide between main() and WinMain() when both are
present, as explained in <Someone>'s original
message. (I used a #ifndef instead of comments ;-)
The MinGW graphical build indeed seems to work.
1) consolidate all core usage of `errno' in files.c;
2) give more feedback for any failure by create_levelfile or open_levelfile,
similar to what was being done for problems during level change;
3) include trickery info in paniclog (many instances of "trickery" seem to
be due to disk or quota problems rather than user misbehavior...).
The create_levelfile call in pcmain probably ought to be changed to use
error feedback, but in the meantime this should continue working.
Perhaps error() should be modified to update paniclog too, but I didn't
want to go through all its port-specific incarnations making changes.
Allow single character variations in player names
to remain unique in file names by encoding rather
than substituting.
"plnam one", "plnam_one", and "plnam~one" at the
"Who are you?" prompt get unique filenames after this patch.
Since -s doesn't function properly under the WIN32
graphical interface as yet, disable it altogether.
Also clean up nhusage() so that it does work with
the WIN32 graphical interface.
Add "travel" boolean option to enable/disable travel command.
Add "mouse_support" wincap option to enable/disable mouse.
- When running the win32 tty version full-screen, some people
complained about the square mouse cursor.
