I'll push a formatting guide at some point. There may still be
outstanding changes, but please feel free to resolve those as you arrive
a them.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no changes to the actual code
content, but the formatter does have the occasional bug. If you run into
an issue, please fix it!
Avoid initializer for auto-class array since many pre-ANSI compilers
didn't support that. Also, when ESC is used to cancel inventory
selection, don't continue on searching for that selection in invent.
Still doesn't address the reported stack corruption.
* 'alt' points to a buffer which has already been processed by
lcase(), so remove the redundant call to that routine;
* common error exit accessed via 'goto' could potentially leave
a dangling window structure (only if 'data' is corrupted though;
it's the only way a failure at that late point could occur).
I didn't find Michael's crasher, but I did find a couple of minor
problems:
knight's saddled pony wasn't found in the file lookup either though
there is an entry for pony ("tame saddled <foo>" stripped off "tame "
but not "saddled "; "saddled <foo>" would only be found of there was
a wildcard entry key of "*<foo>", like "*horse" to catch both horse
and warhorse);
"wombat" matched the bat entry rather than reporting an unknown
entity.

Don't use glyph_to_cmap as an array index into
the defsyms[] array unless it really is a cmap.
Recent situation: glyph_to_cmap will return
NO_GLYPH for the unknown monster glyph 'I', which
is not a valid index for the defsyms[] array.
When user presses '/', pop up a meny asking what the user wants to
look at:
What do you want to look at:
a - something on the map
b - something you're carrying
c - something else
This replaces the "Specify unknown object by cursor?" -prompt,
while keepng backwards compatibility, and also allows querying
about items in the inventory.
Pressing '@' will move the cursor on top of the hero.
Pressing '#' will toggle automatic description mode, where
the feature under the cursor is automatically described
when the cursor is moved.

When the previous occurrence that triggered a segfault
was fixed, I didn't check for more of them. It turns out there
were more instances.
This also removes some dead code.
Changes to be committed:
modified: src/pager.c
Steps to reproduce the reported segfault:
Use / command, answer n, press space and enter
In do_look() variable glyph is only set to a proper
value if using the screen (from_screen) or the
mouse (clicklook).
On the code path that triggered the segfault,
glyph was being passed to mapglyph with a random
arbitrary value.
If glyph had been initialized at the start of
do_look(), it would have prevented the segfault,
but would have always displayed a giant ant or
something silly instead of the correct thing.
Don't use glyph except under
from_screen || clicklook.
This reverts commit 7f0f43e6f9 and some related
subsequent commits.
This compiles, but I have not done extensive testing.

For text data processed by makedefs at install time, change all
printf and scanf calls that use %lx format to deal with unsigned long
variables, replacing the makedefs hack of a few days ago. It's not as
clean as I would have liked (quite a few casts), because the values
involved are derived from ftell and/or passed to fseek, which deal in
signed longs. But it clears up a few format check warnings by gcc in
rumors.c and pager.c in addition to the previous one in makedefs.c and
uses the right data type even in the places where no warning was issued.
Show the 'v' output (full version number plus build date-time) as
the first line of '#version' output (build time configuration settings).
It isn't simple to do that when generating dat/options (there's some
port-specific tweaking going), so do it at run-time by processing that
file one line at a time instead of passing it through a pager routine.
This also inserts an "About NetHack" entry as the first choice in
the menu for '?', the way that most Windows programs have interactive
help organized. Picking that gives the same output as using #version.
'make depend' manually updated for Unix and VMS (add dlb.h to version.*).
On crash signal or panic(), use a configurable method to get a stacktrace
the user can easily report to us. Currently only for Unix/Linux and only
ifdef BETA. Hopefully ports can add additional methods.
Bits:
- linux hints file had PREFIX definition in the wrong place
- sample sysconf file used wrong delimiter for WIZARDS
- fix grammar error in support message when using sysconf.wizards
- options.c comment typo
- capitalize "Crash test" output from #panic command
A mimic posing as a statue was displayed as a tengu statue (and
recognizeable as such now that statues are displayed as the corresponding
monster rather than rock-class back tick), but the lookat code described
it as a giant ant statue (since there was no obj->corpsenm available to
indicate the monster type, it defaulted to 0). This adds monst->mextra
field `mcorpsenm' so that mimics have a place to remember what sort of
statue or corpse they are mimicking. And it picks a random monster type
when they take such forms so that the old tengu hack becomes irrelevant.
newmextra() and newoextra() initialized pointers via memset(...,0)
which is not portable; switch to explicit assignments. The wizard mode
code to display memory used for monsters and objects added in amounts
for the miscellaneous things pointed to by monst->mextra and obj->oextra
structs but didn't include memory for those structs themselves; add it.
Simplify monster save/restore slightly; there's no need for extra zeroes
to represent monst->mextra->X sizes when monst->mextra is null.
Update the startup banner for 2009. I should have done this with a
separate patch but I'm taking a shortcut. :-]
I almost abandoned this when Michael beat me to it, but besides
handling the fruit rename bug it also moves `current_fruit' into the
context structure to eliminate separate save/restore for that.
Reported recently by <Someone>: probing feedback while engulfed
shouldn't claim that the monster is not carrying anything when the hero
is inside of it. The simple case where it's not carrying anything else
was a trivial one line change; handling inventory plus hero was trickier
and I wouldn't have bothered if I'd realized what it was going to take.
But it's done now; trivial case
The purple worm is not carrying anything besides you.
and harder case
The purple worm's possessions:
Weapons
a - an uncursed dagger
Swallowed Creature
> - human archeologist called wizard
infrastructure for "system options" - things currently specified at build
time that should be changeable at install time or run time but not really
under user control
generalize contact info so it can be localized and it doesn't have to be
an email address
move recently introduced WIZARDS into sysopt
drop bogus OPTIONS=wizards possibility
new function build_english_list() to comma-ize and add 'or' from a whitespace separated list: A. A or B. A, B, or C.
syscf file now handles: WIZARDS SUPPORT RECOVER
SUPPORT specifies local support information
RECOVER will eventually supply port-specific and/or localized info on how
to run recover (or get it run for you).
Note: in sys/msdos I changed sys.o (generated from pcsys.c) to pcsys.o
Note: sys/msdos/Makefile.GCC has 2 rules for sys.o (now pcsys.o)
Reported a month ago by <email deleted>, putting on
a cloak of invisibility while blind and then using ';' or '/' to examine
yourself revealed that you had become invisible. This fix just changes
the lookat() output when you can't see that you can't see yourself. :-)
Probing and stethoscope still reveal invisibility, as will any message
which uses x_monnam() to identify the hero. (First part is intentional;
last part seems not worth bothering about--I'm not even sure that the
player can arrange to trigger it.)
Several small related changes that ended up being not quite so small:
Allow the Amulet of Yendor to be offered on the altar in the temple
of Moloch's Sanctum level; doing so is fatal. Fake ones can be offered
too, but that doesn't do anything special (they act the same as they do in
the temples on the Astral level). Unlike in the endgame, the Amulet and
its fakes aren't listed as likely candidate for #offer's pick-an-object
prompt; like the endgame, corpses must be carried rather than being on
the altar in order to be sacrificed.
Prevent non-chaotics from destroying the chaotic high altar on the
Astral level via same-race sacrifice. From a bug report. (Chaotics converting non-chaotic high altars
via same method was already handled. I think the behavior for ordinary
altars if wrong here; why should a chaotic altar be destroyed this way?)
Prevent demon princes and demon lords from being summoned in the
endgame. Lesser demons answer instead. Mostly prevents Yeenoghu from
being summoned by a chaotic who performs same-race sacrified on the
chaotic high altar, but might affect the Wizard and arch-liches too.
Identify (via ':', ';', '/') altars in temples on the Astral and
Sanctum levels as "high altars" rather than just as "altars". '/' and ';'
commands now work on those when you're adjacent, like they do when used on
adjacent high priests; from farther away, the altars' alignment is still
suppressed.
This patch attempts to add some levels of unicode support
to NetHack.
The master on/off switch for any Unicode support is
defining UNICODE_SUPPORT in config.h. Currently
there is code support for two subsets of unicode support:
UNICODE_DRAWING
If UNICODE_DRAWING is defined, then the data
structures used to house drawing symbols are expanded
to the size of wchar_t, big enough to hold unicode characters.
A typdef called `nhsym' is involved and if UNICODE_DRAWING
is defined, it is wchar_t, otherwise it is uchar.
UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
If UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT is defined, then the data
structures inside the window port are expanded to the size of
wchar_t, big enough to hold unicode characters. Both map
symbols and text within the window port are expanded, in order
for potential support for displaying multinational characters some
day, but this patch only provides viewing of map symbols.
A typdef called `nhwchar' is involved and if UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
is defined, it is wchar_t, otherwise it is char.
The only window port with code support for UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
currently is the TTY port. Don't enable UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
unless:
- it is a TTY port
- the underlying platform specific routines can
handle the larger data structures.
Don't enable UNICODE_SUPPORT unless:
- your compiler can handle wchar_t.
- your compiler can accept L'a' characters.
- your compiler can accept L"wide" strings.
Note that if your compiler can handle the above, you could
enable the larger data structures (currently if TTY) even if your
platform can't actually display unicode or UTF-8, by messing
with u_putch() in win/tty/wintty.c to only deal regular chars.
That should be the only function that actually pushes wide characters
out to the display.
If you enable UNICODE_SUPPORT, and your platform is capable
you will need to turn on the unicode run-time option to be able to
load unicode character sets from the symbol file, to be able to
push unicode characters to the display. You'll also want to load
a unicode symbol set once the unicode option is toggled on. In
a config file you would do that via these two lines:
OPTIONS=unicode
OPTIONS=symset:Unicode_non_US
The repository was stamped with NETHACK_PRE_UNICODE
prior to applying this patch, and stamped with
NETHACK_POST_UNICODE afterwards. The code differences
between those two tagged versions are this patch.
Add putmixed() to the window port. It allows map symbols to
be included in the string by encoding them in a unique fashion.
This was done because Unicode symbols, for instance, could be
longer than the size of a char.
The encoding of the map symbols in this patch is done by
prefixing a glyph value with \GXXXX, where XXXX is a
random value for the current game. The reason for the random
prefix is to minimize the possibility that a player can trigger
the escape sequence processing within text under their control
(dog names, etc.) the way they could if the sequence was fixed
in the source code. The random prefix remains the same throughout
the lifetime of a game because message window strings are
saved in the save file.
(There was actually a bug present because of the embedded
character even before the recent symbol changes, because if
someone was using a different set of characters between games,
the saved messages would reflect the original characters, rather
than the current. That bug was introduced with the ability to
save messages to the savefile.)
A window port does not have to supply an XXX_putmixed() routine,
it can use genl_putmixed() which uses the old behavior of
embedding the sequence as a character within the string
and calling putstr(). genl_putmixed() takes care of the decoding
of the escape sequence.
This also #ifdef's out code in pager.c for converting a glyph
to a character, and uses mapglyph() to do that instead. Does
anyone see a problem with doing that through mapglyph instead
of repeating similar code within pager.c?

Sources tagged before applying NETHACK_PRE_STATUE,
and afterwards with NETHACK_POST_STATUE for easy
rollback.
- reduce the number of symbol tables for each graphics
set {PRIMARY, ROGUESET} from three {map, oc, mon}
tables for each of the display symbols, the loadable symbols,
and the rogue symbols, to one continguous table for
each:
showsyms: the current display symbols
l_syms: the loaded, alterable symbols
r_syms: the rogue symbols
- Modify mapglyph so that the index into the symbolt table is
available as a return value (it was a void function), rather than
just the char converted from the glyph.
- That makes it possible for a window port to use the same
index value to extract from another table (perhaps a unicode
table) for a different set of display symbols. The index
is much more useful than trying to convert the character
into another type of symbol, as some contributed patches
have done.
- It is much easier to load a single alternative flat table to
make substitutions, since the corresponding value just
has to get placed into the same index offset in the
alternative table.
This also fixes a bug I found in botl.c, where you could
go to the rogue level, and the bottom line gold symbol
was not being updated with the new character as it should.
The reason was because the gold value had not changed,
only the field symbol used had changed.
This updates multiple ports to place a (void) cast on
the mapglyph call, now that it returns a value, so this
is going to generate a lot of diff e-mails.
This is an overhaul to the NetHack drawing mechanism.
- eliminates the need to have separate lists in drawing.c
for the things and their associated explanations by grouping
those thing together on the same inializer in a struct.
- replaces all of these options: IBMgraphics, DECgraphics, MACgraphics,
graphics, monsters, objects, boulder, traps, effects
- drawing.c contains only the set of NetHack standard symbols for
the main game and a set of NetHack standard symbols for the
roguelevel.
- introduces a symbols file that contains named sets of
symbols that can be loaded at run time making it extensible
for situations like multinational code pages like those reported
by <Someone>, without hardcoding additional sets into the game code.
- symbols file uses names for the symbols, so offsets will not break
when new things are introduced into the game, the way the older
config file uchar load routines did.
- symbols file only contains exceptions to the standard NetHack
set, not entire sets so they are much less verbose than all of
the g_FILLER() entries that were previously in drawing.c
- 'symset' and 'roguesymset' config file options for
preselecting a symbol set from the file called 'symbols'
at startup time. The name of the symbols file is not under the
users control, only the symbol set name desired from within the
symbols file is.
- 'symset' config file option loads a desired symbol set for
everything but the rogue level.
- 'roguesymset' config file option loads a desired symbol set
for the rogue level.
- 'SYMBOLS' config file option allows the user to specify replacement
symbols on a per symbol basis. You can specify as many or as few symbols
as you wish. The symbols are identified by a name:value pair, and line
continuation is supported. Multiple symbol assignments can be made on
the same line if each name:value pair is separated by a comma.
For example:
SYMBOLS = S_bars:\xf0, S_tree: \xf1, S_room:\xfa \
S_fountain:\xf4 \
S_boulder:0
- 'symbols' file has the following structure:
start: DECgraphics
Handling: DEC
S_vwall: \xf8 # meta-x, vertical rule
S_hwall: \xf1 # meta-q, horizontal rule
finish
start: IBMgraphics
Handling: IBM
S_vwall: \xb3 # meta-3, vertical rule
S_hwall: \xc4 # meta-D, horizontal rule
finish
- 'symbols' file added to the source tree in the dat directory
- Port Makefiles/scripts will need to be adjusted to move them into
HACKDIR destination
Make the names of the macros for handling the hero be similar to those
for monsters (where mis-use of `sensemon()' was the cause of a recently
reported bug). `senseself()' becomes more restrictive in what it specifies,
and current uses of it are replaced by new `canspotself()'.
While wearing EotO, ";" and selecting a monster behind a wall would display
"normal vision" as well as "astral vision". This is because cansee() gets
set for things seen via astral vision. However, couldsee() is only set for
things that could be seen normally, so check both values.
Guard against the pathological cases of ", <anything>" and
" called <anything>" strings that a user could type in to indirectly
trigger impossible(). Now they'll yield "no info about such things".
This allows the use of the right mouse button to
look at things on the screen when the
'clicklook' option is set.
Concept came from a patch for 3.4.0
that I saw referenced on r.g.r.n
[see http://www.steelskies.com/nethack.php]
but the implementation is different.
- Version change from 3.4.x
- timed_delay feature ignore in makedefs
- several flags from iflags to flags
- use offsets from mons array entries in save file rather than storing
the ptr and calculating the distance from beginning of array
Add the wizard entry submitted by <Someone>. It doesn't fit
perfectly but seems better than getting the generic human (or other
race) entry. It pointed out that "gnomish wizard" is ambiguous between
a type of monster and a player character race/role combination. I had
to add a special case to the code to make that work out right.
This also makes all the roles that have the their entry match any
race; conversely, match the race's monster for roles that don't have an
entry (caveman, healer, monk, priest, and samurai; we really should get
them their own). Previously many of the non-human ones yielded "I don't
have any information on such things" and at least one (elven priest)
yielded the generic human entry.
If the character was invisible without being able to see invisible,
his location on the map showed any object there or underlying topology
instead of the hero even when monsters could be seen with infravision,
ESP, or sustained monster detection. The ESP case required an amulet
or helm or quest artifact to be noticeable because being blind overrides
being unable to see invisible, so the more common form of telepathy
didn't exhibit this behavior.
