The curses interface would assign menu selector characters a-z, A-Z,
and then 0-9, but trying to type 0-9 would start a count rather than
select an entry, and if the display was tall enough for more than 62
entries, the ones after '9' were ASCII punctuation characters.
Limit the number of entries per page to 52 + number_of_'$'_entries
(which should be 0 or 1) so that it won't run out of normal letters.
The perm_invent window, if enabled, ought to allow more than that
because it isn't used to make selections and might have an arbtirary
number of '#' overflow entries. But I'll leave that for somebody
else to tackle.
Tested by temporarily setting the limit to 26 instead of 52 since
I'm not able to display anything tall enough to exercise the latter.
When place_object() puts a non-boulder underneath a boulder, make it
put the non-boulder under all the boulders there rather than just under
the topmost one. Otherwise the map display will show the non-boulder
rather than the 2nd boulder if the top boulder gets moved away by some
means other than pushing. (Pushing explicitly brings lower boulder to
top of pile in order to try to push it next.)
Reproduce by: wish for boulder--it will drop. Drop something else--
the something-else will end up under the boulder. Repeat. The second
boulder will be on top but the second something-else will be next in
the pile, above the first boulder. Now polymorph into a giant and pick
up the first boulder, then move away from that spot. Map will show
second something-else instead of the remaining boulder.
This fairly simple fix should work reliably on new games since boulders
will end up being consecutive on the top of piles. For old games,
boulders after the topmost could be anywhere and still yield a display
glitch, but since that's all the problem is (I hope...), we ought to
be able to live with that until old games eventually go away.
[A map display glitch doesn't explain a corrupted 'uball' so this fix
doesn't solve that.]
Change of couple entries which describe fixed bugs to use past tense
instead of present tense. Fix a typo or two and a couple of instances
of clumsy wording. Move a dead-fake-hero-on-trap entry from normal
fixes section to exposed-by-git section since it was a post-3.6.1 bug.
Move two VMS entries from exposed-by-git section to interface-specific
section where they were intended.
I didn't make it through the whole file so there may be more room for
improvement. It's too late for 3.6.2 but the copy of doc/fixes36.2 in
later versions will be 'better'.
Being turned into green slime never drops hero's inventory so invent
objects shouldn't be subject to obj_not_held() handling.
obj_not_held() does apply to undead. Arising as a mummy or vampire
doesn't go through the trouble of dropping everything and picking it
back up, but there is a point in the die...arise sequence where the
hero is implicitly a corpse so nobody is holding his/her stuff.
Add a bc sanity check. It seems to work ok--in other words, not
trigger--under normal punishment. I don't have any test cases to
exercise its warnings.
This dragged in a couple of minor bc changes that were pending. I
should have cleared those out before tackling the sanity checking.
When cloning a monster, clear the clone trapped and hiding states.
When splitting a monster (eg. a black pudding), the clone could
be placed on a trap, so do mintrap.
When removing a monster from the map, clear the trapped state.

The change to fix setting SEDUCE=0 in sysconf broke chatting with
seductive demons by unintentionally changing the way Null attack
argument was handled. It's still handled differently than it used
to be, but I think this difference is correct.
Fixes#187
Qt5 gave "status 'reassess' before init" panic at start of new game.
Don't call status_initialize(REASSESS) from set_usamon()--used for
hero setup as well as for hero polymorph--unless it was previously
called from display_gamewindows() with !REASSESS [which happens when
windowprocs.wincap2 has WC2_STATUS_HILITES or WC2_FLUSH_STATUS set].
If a poly'd hero spits venom and it lands at a 'soft' spot such as
water, it would remain as an intact venom object. (Venom spat by
monsters seems to always be used up regardless of where it lands.)
Vlad keeps his own form when carrying the Candelabrum, but if you
manage to get that away from him he should behave like other vampires.
He wasn't though; a high level wizard casting polymorph on him would
change him into an arbitrary monster rather than into a wolf/bat/cloud
that revives as Vlad when killed.
|The seemingly dead vampire bat rises as a vampire.
was overriding hallucination when describing both old and new forms.
In 3.6.0 it only overrode the dying shape (explicitly so, presumeably
because the feature was brand new) and honored hallucination for the
revived shape. The 3.6.1 fix to prevent non-hallucinating: 'The
seemingly dead Foo rises as Foo.' for a named vampire unintentionally
overrode hallucination for the revived shape.
Change it to honor hallucination for both before and after monsters
|The seemingly dead grid bug rises as a microscopic space fleet.
Preserve temporary fake object's previous dknown value by storing it
as a flag value within the m_ap_type field of the posing monster, and
recalling it when it is needed.
This is intended to help eliminate observable differences in price display
between real objects and mimics posing as objects.
98% of this is just switching the code to utilize macro M_AP_TYPE(mon)
everywhere to ensure that the flag bits are stripped off when needed.
Noticed while looking over mimic hiding. When on an object, a mimic
will hide as that type of object. But for a corpse, it picked a random
monster type and could choose one that doesn't leave a corpse. Also as
a tin it would always be an empty one, but there doesn't seem to be any
way for a player to learn that.
Noticed while trying to find the reason for the wildmiss impossible(),
you could be teleported and then drop dead at the destination. A QM's
AD_TLPT hit also does 1d4 physical damage which gets applied after the
teleport. Getting "You die." seemed pretty strange, particularly after
picking the destination with telport control. This makes sure that the
damage will never be fatal when teleport is attempted.
