combine boolean and compound options into a single allopt[] array for
processing in options.c.
move the definitions of the options into new include/optlist.h file which
uses a set of macros to define them appropriately.
during compile of options.c each option described in include/optlist.h:
1. automatically results in a function prototype for an optfn called
optfn_xxxx (xxxx is the option name).
2. automatically results in an opt_xxxx enum value for referencing
its index throughout options.c (xxxx is the option name).
3. is used to initialize an element of the allopt[] array at index
opt_xxxx (xxxx is the option name) based on the settings in the
NHOPTB, NHOPTC, NHOPTP macros. Those macros only live during the
compilation of include/optlist.h.
each optfn_xxxx() function can be called with a req id of: do_init, do_set,
get_val or do_handler.
req do_init is called from options_init, and if initialization or memory
allocation or other initialization for that particular option is needed,
it can be done in response to the init req.
req do_set is called from parseoptions() for each option it encounters
and the optfn_xxxx() function is expected to react and set the option
based on the string values that parseoptions() passes to it.
req get_val expects each optfn_xxxx() function to write the current
option value into the buffer it is passed.
req do_handler is called during doset() operations in response to player
selections most likely from the 'O' option-setting menu, but only if the
option is identified as having do_handler support in the allopts[]
'has_handler' boolean flag. Not every optfn_xxxx() does.
function special_handling() is eliminated. It's code has been redistributed
to individual handler functions for the option or purpose that they serve.
moved reglyph_darkroom() function from options.c to display.c
Provide a way to communicate additional behaviors and/or appearances
desired from NetHack window port menus.
This is foundation work for changes to follow at a future date.
Update sys/unix/Makefile.doc to be able to build Guidebook.dat, an
unpaginated copy of the plain text Guidebook. It's generated from
the 'roff source rather than by attempting to post-process the
regular text Guidebook.
No doubt there are easier ways to do this.
There are two executables int the windows binary, each of which
have different options and capabilities. Sharing of one dat/options
file hasn't really been an accurate approach.
Produce that information dynamically for the Windows exe files.
This impacts alt-v results.
Preparation for moving enlightenment and conduct into new source
file insight.c. Right now it's a stub that shouldn't break anything
whether included or omitted. Once makefiles and project files have
been updated to compile and link it, the actual code will be moved.
unix/Makefile.src has been updated;
vms/Makefile.src and vmsbuild.com have been updated but not tested.
Add the new header file to HACKINCL which only matters to HSOURCES
which only matters for the 'tags' target.
'make depend' reordered some stuff that could have stayed as-is but
also found a missing dependency for nhlobj.{c,o}.
recover had deviated somewhat from NetHack in its
file expectations:
1) A couple of 3.7 fields needed to be accommodated.
2) hard-coded file size values had deviated.
The file sizes are now in an added header file named "filesize.h",
which is included at the bottom of config.h.
There will likely be another commit to write the filename size ahead
of the file name so that the precise number of characters can be read,
but since that will break existing saves, it can go in along with another
save-breaking commit.
This commit doesn't not alter savefiles written by nethack so does not
require an editlevel bump. It does alter the read-in expectation in
recover to match the game and this get recover working again.
Replace a few tabs, remove a few trailing spaces, and shorten a few
long lines.
Readme still needs another fix: if falsely claims to contain all bug
fixes since 3.6.4. I wasn't sure how to reword that so didn't try.
Also, fix a couple of old typos in Install.vms.
Some BIOSes allow calling the window function directly, bypassing the
logic that distinguishes this call from other BIOS calls. Should be
faster on some systems.
This was not previously done because the palette was not correctly set
up, and QEMU gave incorrect colors. The palette setup function now
falls back to the standard BIOS function if the VESA BIOS function
fails, which resolves the issue with QEMU. The mode selection logic now
favors 8 bit color if the tile set is compatible.
Using 8 bit mode means fewer writes to memory and fewer uses of the
BIOS window function.
