I was implementing a routine to show all the key bindings
when I discovered that we already have one. This fixes a few
small problems: 'n' prefix for number entry was missing for
number_pad mode. Meta+<direction> for running in number_pad
mode was missing too. ^A was present but being suppressed by
lack of #define for obsolete #if REDO. And ^C was shown as ^c
while all other ^ characters appear in upper case. Once ^A
appeared as the line before it, the inconsistency stood out.
I also changed the slightly verbose "Shift-<direction>" and
"Ctrl-<direction>" entries below the direction grid to use plus
instead of minus signs. Plus emphasizes that two things are
combined so seems more intuitive. (I left "M-c" alone.)
Provide a hook to inhibit unixconf.h from defining SUSPEND
without the need to modify it: #define NOSUSPEND in config.h
or add -DNOSUSPEND to CFLAGS. Similar to long-standing NOSHELL
for inhibiting SHELL.
Only quantum mechanics are supposed to have a chance of death-dropping the
Schroedinger's cat box.
Slash'Em already had this but it was missed when Genetic engineers were ported
over.
I couldn't reproduce this so can't confirm that this fix works,
but inspection of the code reveals that something was missing
in the unified mon movement flags code. I think what has been
happening is that a dwarf without a pick-axe might not bother
wielding that but movement behaved as if it had, then digging
decided it wasn't.
The two or three (wizard mode) menu choices at the start of
the '# ?' help menu look enough like headers that it can be
confusing. They're asking about changing the view of commands
to what those entries describe, but if considered as headers
they're describing the opposite of what is currently displayed.
Make them more verbose to try to clarify the situation.
This also moves the 'm' flag in front of the 'A' in the middle
column (of name, flag(s), description) when they both apply.
Change qt_get_ext_cmd() to handle calling the extended command
selection menu again after player clicks on Filter/Layout/Reset
instead of relying on the core to do that. (In order to change
the menu, instead of attempting to reconfigure that on the fly
it returns to caller and then puts up a new menu with different
settings when called back. Initial checkin relied on the core
for the call back; this maintains full control for that within
the Qt interface code.)
For Qt's pick-an-exetended-command dialog, allow a player to
toggle the grid layout from column-oriented to row-oriented
and vice versa and when in wizard mode to cycle the set of
shown (and typable) commands from 'all' to 'normal mode-only'
to 'wizard mode-only' back to 'all'. The most recent values
are saved by Qt along with tile size, font size, and some other
stuff. The extended command dialog has a Reset button to force
them (the two extended command values) back to their defaults.
The dialog layout has a slight change to conserve screen space
as well as three additional control buttons:
Was Now
| [ Cancel ] | [Cancel] [Filter][Layout][Reset ]
|# |# Grid Title
| Grid title | [cmd 1] [cmd R+1] [cmd 2*R+1] ...
| [cmd 1] [cmd R+1] [cmd 2*R+1] ... | [cmd 2] [cmd R+2]
| [cmd 2] [cmd R+2] |...
|... | [cmd R] [cmd 2*R]
| [cmd R] [cmd 2*R]
'#' is the prompt where typed text gets echoed and 'R' is the
number of rows in the grid and varies by the set of commands
from the current filter. Grid dimensions have been adjusted:
'all' is 13x9, 'normal' is 13x7, and 'wizard' is 7x4 or 4x7
depending on layout orientation.
The wizard mode-only filter setting probably isn't very useful
because you can only type--or click on--commands which are
visible. So when set to wizard mode-only, you can't #quit for
instance. (Via extended command; there are still menu choices
for that particular action. And it's trivial to change filter.)
Qt on OSX is inserting "Search [_____]" as the first entry in
the Help dropdown menu (the one in the toolbar at the top of the
desttop). While trying--and failing--to figure out how to get
rid of that, I cleaned up a little bit of the old menu hackery
(that tries to workaround the fact that Qt on OSX insists that
some menu actions--based solely on their names--should go into
the appication menu rather than whichever menu the program is
trying to insert them into). The only observeable difference
is that 'About NetHack-Qt' will be at the top (actually second
because of that Search one) of the Help dropdown, where it is on
non-OSX builds, rather than last.
This tries to make the program name consistent too, changing
several instances of "Qt NetHack" to be "NetHack-Qt". The latter
is the name being set up as ApplicationName in qt_bind.cpp that
gets used when Qt stashes the Qt-specific settings wherever it
stashes them.
It also makes another tweak in formatting of 'About NetHack-Qt',
inserting one explicit line break to avoid some poor looking line
wrapping. I still haven't figured out how to control that popup's
size.
Let tourists read cornuthaum ("WIZZARD") and dunce cap ("DUNCE").
One out of three will have those words, the other two will yield
"you can't find anything to read on this ___" where ___ is either
"conical hat" or "cornuthaum" or "dunce cap" depending upon hat
type and discovery status.
Even when a dunce cap says "DUNCE" it won't become discovered,
just offer the player an opportunity to apply a name.
Other roles still fall through to the "That's a silly thing to
read" feedback.
Not intended to be logical...
Rename "seegold" to "showgold". The character to invoke it ('$')
is similar to those for the various "seeXYZ" commands ('[','=',&c)
but unlike them, it isn't part of "seeall" ('*').
Expand or replace the one-line description of several commands
(shell, showgold, showtrap, suspend, versionshort).
