viz_array[][] is indexed by coordinates but the data it contains has
nothing to do with them so it shouldn't have been changed to coordxy.
'char' was sufficient; 'uchar' would have been better; this invents
'seenV' instead. This led to a cascade of required changes. The
result is warning free and seems to be working but my fingers are
crosssed....
One of the drivers of this change was that screen coordinates require a
type that can hold values greater than 127. Parameters to the window
port routines require a large type in order to be able to have values
a fair bit larger than COLNO and ROWNO passed to them, particularly for
their use to the right of the map window.
This splits the uses of xchar into 3 different situations, and adjusts
their type and size:
xchar
|
-----------------------
| | |
coordxy xint16 xint8
coordxy: Actual x or y coordinates for various things (moved to 16-bits).
xint16: Same data size as coordxy, but for non-coordinate use (16-bits).
xint8: There are only a few use cases initially, where it was very
plain to see that the variable could remain as 8-bits, rather
than be bumped to 16-bits. There are probably more such cases
that could be changed after additional review.
Note: This first changed all xchar variables to coordxy. Some were
reviewed and got changed to xint16 or xint8 when it became apparent that
their usage was not for coordinates.
This increments EDITLEVEL in patchlevel.h
Instead of returning 0 or 1, we'll now use ECMD_OK or ECMD_TURN.
These have the same meaning as the hardcoded numbers; ECMD_TURN
means the command uses a turn.
In future, could add eg. a flag denoting "user cancelled command"
or "command failed", and should clear eg. the cmdq.
Mostly this was simply replacing return values with the defines
in the extended commands, so hopefully I didn't break anything.
Add two new monsters and two new objects:
gold dragon
baby gold dragon
gold dragon scale mail
set of gold dragon scales
A couple of variants seem to have added these already, but this came
off my ancient list of monsters to add and was done from scratch.
It's a clone of silver dragon, but instead of having reflection and
breathing cold, a gold dragon emits light and breathes fire; because
of the latter it can be seen with infravision like a red dragon.
Adult gold dragons are lawful as in the AD&D Monster Manual rather
than chaotic as the wiki pages show for the variant versions.
Worn gold dragon scales operate similar to wielded Sunsword: when
blessed, radius is 3 (same as a lamp), if uncursed, radius is 2, and
if cursed, radius is 1 (but functions as 2 when worn by the hero,
otherwise there would be no tangible effect). Gold dragon scale mail
gets an extra +1, making blessed gold DSM have a bigger radius than
lamps. Embedded scales have radius 1 regardless of BUC state; light
for that case comes from the gold dragon monster form the hero is in.
When not worn, gold scales and scale-mail don't emit any light.
The tiles use a mix of yellow (for gold) and red. The two object
tiles seem reasonable variations of the corresponding silver dragon
ones. The two monster tiles definitely need work since the silver
ones were mostly cyan and changing that to red did not produce very
good result; subsequent attempt at a mixture was haphazard at best.

If we ever want huge maps with COLNO or ROWNO larger than signed char,
this will at least allow the game to compile and start when typedef'ing
xchar to int. Trying to use huge maps exposes more bugs.
ignitable() was excluding magic lamp and then every place that
used it did so as 'ignitable(obj) || obj->otyp == MAGIC_LAMP'
so just include magic lamp.
I noticed that while hunting for an explanation for report #K2734
where returning to a previously visited level triggered the
warning "begin_burn: unexpected eggs". I've decided that the
zombie apocalypse is probably the cause. It inserted a new type
of timer in the list of such but it didn't bump EDITLEVEL to
invalidate save and bones files which relied on indices into the
old list. I'm not sure whether we should bump that now.
Don't replace a monster that's been temporarily seen via camera
flash or thrown/kicked lit candle/lamp with "unseen, remembered
monster" glyph if it can be sensed via telepathy, warning, or
extended monster detection.
Implement the suggested feature that a camera's flash actually update
hero's memory of the map as it traverses across the level. Turned
out to be more work than anticipated despite having the code for a
thrown or kicked lit candle or lamp to build upon.
Among other things it needed to update the circle code to handle
previously unused radius 0 to operate on the center point only. I've
never touched that before and hope this hasn't introduced any bugs.
Also removes several instances of vision code operating on column #0.
(At least one is still present.)
After some discussion with Alex Smith, it seems like a good change for
both gameplay and realism that candles' light radius should decay
quadratically instead of exponentially. Now a light radius of 4 from
candles can be accomplished by burning 9 candles, and players who find a
lot of candles might even be able to get up to 5 (16 candles) or 6 (25
candles).
The main impetus for this change is that with the existing formula, the
more candles -> more light mechanic was more or less useless outside of
wizard mode, because you needed 49 candles to do better than a lamp.
Make some progress on a couple of next minor release checklist
items, hopefully without introducing too many new bugs. This
is just the initial commit, and work continues.
Checklist items:
Savefiles compatible between Windows versions, whether 64-bit
or 32-bit in little-endian field format.
Selection of file formats:
historical (structlevel saves),
lendian (little-endian, fieldlevel saves),
and just for proof-of-concept, ascii fieldlevel saves
(the ascii is huge! 10x bigger than little-endian).
For the fieldlevel save, all complex data structures recursively
get broken down until until it is one of the simple types that
can't be broken down any further, and that gets when it gets
written to the output file.
New files needed for this build:
hand-coded:
include/sfprocs.h
src/sfbase.c - really a dispatcher to one of the
output/input format routines.
src/sflendian.c - little-endian output writer/reader.
src/sfascii.c - ascii text output writer/reader.
auto-coded (generated):
include/sfproto.h
src/sfdata.c
This is just one approach. I'm sure there are countless others
and they have different pros and cons.
For producing the auto-coded files a utility called
universal-ctags, that is actively maintained and evolving,
was used to do all the heavy-lifting of parsing the
NetHack C sources to tabulate the data fields, and store
them in an intermediate file called util/nethack.tags
(not required for building NetHack if you already have a
generated include/sfproto.h and src/sfdata.c)
util/readtags (also not required for building NetHack
itself) will decipher the nethack.tags file and produce
the functions that can deal with the NetHack struct data
fields.
You can obtain the source for universal-ctags by cloning it
from here:
https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags.git
The combination universal-ctags + util/readtags has been
tried and tested under both Windows and Linux, so it is
not tied to a particular platform.
Note: util/readtags will work only with universal-ctags
output, so other ctags are unlikely to work as-is.
Universal-ctags can be build from source very easily
under Linux, or under Windows using visual studio.
Throwing or kicking a lit lamp, lit candle, or lit potion of oil
wasn't giving off any light as it travelled to its destination.
Now it does, and dungeon features, objects, or monsters that are
temporarily seen as it moves from square to square till appear on
the map. In the monster case, they go away as soon as the light
moves beyond range, but when it finishes moving the "remembered,
unseen monster" glyph will be drawn at their location. I think that
part has some room for improvement, but mapping temporarily seen
terrain features is the primary impetus for this change.
Also, any message delivery while the "lit missile" travelled still
showed its light around the hero. Noticeable for lamps or stacks
of sufficient candles if hero has no other light source.
This cannibalizes the monst->mburied bit for temporarily seeing a
monster. It has been present but unused for ages. I needed to
replace a couple of vision macros to make sure they didn't examine
it any more so that overloading for transient lighting doesn't
introduce any vision oddities. For version $NEXT, monst->mtemplit
can be given its own bit. It is only set during bhit() execution
and cleared by the time that returns, so has no effect on save files.
Extend #stats beyond just monsters and objects. Have it display
memory usage for traps, engravings, light sources, timers, pending
shop wall/floor repair, regions, bones tracking, named object types,
and dungeon overview.
No doubt there are other memory consumers that I've overlooked.

more formatting
Fix up the files containing '[?:] */' to get trailing trinary operator
followed by end-of-line comment. Tab replacement and removal of excess
parentheses on return statements also done.
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!
* Replace variadic debugpline() with fixed argument debugpline0(str),
debugpline1(fmt,arg), and so on so that C99 support isn't required;
* showdebug() becomes a function rather than a macro and handles a
bit more;
* two debugpline() calls in light.c have been changed to impossible();
* DEBUGFILES macro (in sys.c) can substitute for SYSCF's DEBUGFILES
setting in !SYSCF configuration (I hope that's temporary).
Move debugging output into couple preprocessor defines, which
are no-op without DEBUG. To show debugging output from a
certain source files, use sysconf:
DEBUGFILES=dungeon.c questpgr.c
Also fix couple debug lines which did not compile.
This also includes fixes due to Derek Ray to depugpline to work better
on other platforms.
This started out as a one line change. After I saw someone in the
newsgroup mention that Sunsword's light was inferior to that of a lamp,
I decided to make it work better (than in 3.4.3, that is, becoming the
same brightness as a lamp) when blessed and worse when cursed (useless to
hero but still visible if wielded by a monster). But then it needed to
change light radius when its curse/bless state changed, and it needed
message feedback when doing so, and that got kind of complicated. I
wouldn't have bothered if I'd known what I was getting into, but I don't
want to throw it away now that I've done all this work....
Sunsword now gives a light radius of 3 when blessed (same as a lit
lamp), radius of 2 when uncursed (same as a lit candle and as it has been
providing since added in 3.4.0), and a radius of 1 when cursed (nearly
but not completely useless, as mentioned above). Also, it now "shines"
rather than "glows" since we usually use the latter for temporary effects.
[the problem in the earlier rev was tracked to cleanup_burn(),
where arg was holding a (genericptr_t) timer id, and
passed directly to del_light_source() as is.]
P64 (Win64) has a 64 bit pointer size, but a 32 bit long size.
Remove some code that forced pointers into a long int, and
vice versa where information could be lost.
This part deals with light source functions and their
arguments mostly, and switches some arguments
from type genericptr_t to 'anything'.

Hide pointer formatting in alloc.c by eliminating the need for callers
to know how big a buffer is required. I generally prefer the caller to
pass in its own buffer for this sort of thing, but in this case the usage
is almost entirely for debugging so using static buffers results in less
clutter in the rest of the code.
