Change the classification of new weaponstatus, armorstatus, and
terrainstatus from 'OptS_Status' to 'OptS_Advanced' to keep the menu
for the 'O' command shorter. Doesn't affect 'mO'.
Including them in 'O' might make more players notice them though.
armorstatus, and terrainstatus
This adds three special status items to show at a glance what the hero
is wielding, wearing, and standing on.
Each of the three items has its own boolean option rather than try to
fix them in with the existing opttional status conditions. After a
lot of testing, I think the weapon and armor ones will prove useful
but the terrain one probably won't be.
Presently it is implemented for tty and curses. When I developed it
six years ago, it was also working for X11 but I'm not able to test
the resurrection of that part so have left it out.
This removes or updates several true rumors that have become
misleading or inaccurate due to changes to the mechanics they were
describing, and adds several new rumors describing mechanics that
are either new, or are intended to be a larger part of the game
than they were in previous versions.
More oracularities describing the new mechanics are needed, but I
haven't managed to get into the write frame of mind to write in the
Oracle's voice yet...
Any sort of iron footwear now protects from traps, and polymorph
traps change one sort of iron footwear into a different sort of
iron footwear (removing any incentive to try to farm them, because
you will see both options very quickly).
When playtesting NetHack heavily, I observed that most of the time
it wasn't placing much strain on my wrists, but Sokoban was an
exception: travel, farmove, etc. can normally be used to avoid the
need to spam keys, but they don't work while pushing a boulder, and
the boulders often need to be pushed along precise routes, so you
have to tap out every movement. This becomes particularly straining
when pushing in the last few boulders, as you have to push them a
long way along the goal corridor.
This commit adds rolling boulder traps to Sokoban that will
automatically roll boulders along the goal corridor, meaning that
you don't have to push them there manually. This considerably
reduces the number of keystrokes needed to solve Sokoban, without
making any significant change to the difficulty of the levels.
Some of the designs had to change slightly in order to make room
for them, but not in a way that meaningfully changes the solution.
Rolling boulder traps now react to having boulders pushed onto them;
the boulder will roll until reaching the trap's launch spot
(resetting the trap if the boulder was removed), or until it hits a
wall otherwise.
Because they can now be reset, they aren't removed when stepping on
them with a misplaced boulder (although no boulder moves unless
there's one on the appropriate spot).
When wand of stasis is zapped multiple times, keep the longest duration
rather than replace duration with each zap.
When current level is under the effect of a wand of stasis, have the
wizard-mode command #timeout say so.
Non-vampire shapeshifters were changing shape a lot; often you
could have a chameleon turning into a different monster each turn.
Now monster shape changing is actually their "special" power,
and it takes 3-12 turns until they can do it again.
Have the impossible message indicate whether the pointed-to
edog struct itself is still intact (not overwritten somewhere,
such as misuse of a stale or bad pointer) versus the apport field
itself being assigned an out-of-whack value some place.
A year ago a use-free-bug was reported for curses. I don't use ASAN
so haven't reproduced it, but I think this should fix it.
If the RIP window is deleted after the map window has gone away, the
code from commit 5e572d3d5f (post 3.6.7)
would execute and access the internals of the deleted map window.
