This adds a boolean option, autounlock, defaulting to true. When this is
set to TRUE, messages stating that some door or container is locked are
automatically followed by a prompt asking if you would like to unlock
it, if you are carrying an unlocking tool (key, lock pick, or credit
card).
Architecturally, this extends the pick_lock function to take three
additional arguments (door coordinates or a box on the ground you are
autounlocking).
The code that selects an unlocking tool will always look first for a
skeleton key, then a lock pick, then a credit card. Since curses, rust,
and other attributes don't really have an effect on the viability of the
unlocking device, it didn't seem to warrant making a more complex
function for that.
Add hallucinatory trap names
This adds many funny, realistic, and nonsensical traps to the game, to
be shown when the player is hallucinating.
Architecturally, the biggest change is merging the what_trap macro and
the "defsyms[trap_to_defsym(ttyp)].explanation" pattern into a single
function "trapname", which returns the name of the trap, handling the
hallucination case. There is also a second parameter used for overriding
hallucination in the occasional cases where the actual trap name should
always be returned.
In addition, the what_trap and random_trap macros are now obsolete and
not used anywhere, so they are removed.
reinstate anti-rng abuse bit on hallucination
updates to hallucinatory trap names and fixes37.0 entry
Poly'd hero hiding on the ceiling was told "you can't go down here"
if using '>' at a spot that didn't have down stairs, trap door, hole,
or pit. Let '>' bring a ceiling hider out of hiding; lurker above
resumes flying, piercer falls to floor or whatever is underneath it.
Fix some issues noticed when experimenting with ceiling hiders.
They're all blind (at least without the monks' Eyes) and some of
the behavior while blind seemed to be incorrect (though some that
I thought was wrong turned out to be ok; feel_newsym() won't update
the map if the hero can't reach the floor). Fixing that made me
notice that some terrain side-effects (being underwater or stuck in
lava) weren't getting disabled when the underlying terrain wasn't
the corresponding type anymore.
Allow a way to configure NetHack to run entirely from a USB stick
or other removable device in a way that allows everything to
reside entirely on the USB stick, and nothing on the computer's
hard drive. That could be done in versions prior to 3.6.3.
Sample:
i: is a USB stick
i:\nhdist contains the NetHack Windows distribution and a sysconf
file dropped into that distribution with the following entry in it:
portable_device_top = nethack
No device is included in the portable_device_top entry, the device
is always the device that the nethack exe resides on. If you try
to specify a device in the portable_device_top path, the device
portion will be ignored.
portable_device_top specifies the folder on the device that is writable
by NetHack and as such it cannot be the same folder that the executable
resides in.
i:\nhdist\nethack --showpaths
Variable playground locations:
[hackdir ]="i:\nethack\"

NetHack's system configuration file (in sysconfdir):
"i:\nhdist\sysconf"
The loadable symbols file (in sysconfdir):
"i:\nhdist\symbols"
Basic data files (in datadir) are collected inside:

No end-of-game disclosure file (disabled).
Writable folder for portable device config (sysconf portable_device_top):

Your personal configuration file (in configdir):

Without that sysconf file in the NetHack distribution folder on the
USB stick with the 'portable_device_top = ' entry, the paths
return to the default locations for 3.6.3 on Windows:
i:\nhdist\nethack --showpaths
