Game is playable, and should compile on linux and Windows.
Assumes you have a lua 5.3 library available.
Removes level compiler and associated files.
Replaces special level des-files with lua scripts.
Exposes some NetHack internals to lua:
- des-table with commands to create special levels
- nh-table with NetHack core commands
- nhc-table with some constants
- u-table with some player-specific data (u-struct)
- selection userdata
Adds some rudimentary tests.
Adds new extended command #wizloadlua to run a specific script,
and #wizloaddes to run a specific level-creation script.
nhlib.lua is loaded for every lua script.
Download and untar lua:
mkdir lib
cd lib
curl -R -O http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
tar zxf lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
Then make nethack normally.
make typedef of boolean match mingw header files
link with shell32 and ole32 as Makefile.msc now had to do
kludge some stuff missing from mingw headers in sys/winnt/windmain.c
Make the whatdoes ('&' or '?f') command support the 'altmeta' option
for meta-characters generated by two character seqeunce 'ESC char'.
Also, make it be more descriptive when reporting "no such command"
by including the numeric value it operated on when failing to match
any command. That might provide a way for us to get some extra
information when players report problems with odd keystrokes: we ask
them to type such at the "what command?" prompt and then tell us what
numbers come up.
It's been given a help file to deal with assorted idiosyncracies
which can come up when querying what keys do. Unfortunately that
ended up being way more verbose than intended.
Installation of the extra data file has only been done for Unix.
Other platforms will get "can't open file" if they respond with
'&' or '?' to the "what command?" prompt. The command will still
work though, just without the extra text.
I did my best to exempt some of the bigger aligned blocks from the reformatting
using the /* clang-format off */ and /* clang-format on */ tags. Probably some
that shouldn't have been formatted were anyway; if you encounter them, please
fix.
The clang-format tags were left in on the basis that it's much easier to prune
those out later than to put them back in, and it means that, modulo my custom
version of clang-format, I should be able to run clang-format on the source tree
again without changing anything, now that Pat has fixed the VA_DECL issues.
