From hardfought; latest gcc complains that /* fall through other stuff */
doesn't match its pattern for /* fall through */ comment indicating
that omitted 'break' statement is intentional and one switch case is
deliberately continuing into the code for another.
While not a path exactly, the dumplog file isn't placed somewhere
fixed so being able to see where it is placed could be useful.
This cascaded a bit during testing. Fix one of the warnings from
hardfought (fqn_prefix_names[]). And a few more that came up with
SYSCF disabled (panictrace_gdb, two unused variables if files.c).
A comment in macosx10.14 describing how to create a signed package
had the last sample command wrong. Fix it now in case that part
carries over to hypothetical--but likely--new macosx10.15 hints.
Also, shorten a couple of wide comment lines in the same area.
The report mentioned whistles but I had forgotten all about them by
the time I tried to deal with musical instruments. Plain whistles
had deaf handling but magic whistles didn't.
Fixes#240
Monster versus monster (melee and throwing) didn't handle shades
(need silver or blessed weapon to take damage) or silver feedback
(extra info when silver-haters are hit).
I did a lot of test, revise, re-test but didn't always re-test
everything that had previously been tested, so bugs that I thought
were quashed might have crept in.
Now if a missile weapon "passes harmlessly through the shade" it
will continue on and maybe hit something else. (Regular misses
still stop at the missed target.)
A couple of minor ball&chain changes accidentally got included.
Menus with wide header or separator lines were rendered wide enough
to avoid wrapping those lines, but ones with narrow header/separators
and wide selectable entries were limited to half the display even
though lots of lines that would fit with full width were being wrapped.
Change the latter behavior.
Menus are right justified with the edge of the map when narrower than
it, left justified otherwise, and if the display is wider than the map,
they'll extend beyond its right edge. (That hasn't actually changed;
it's just that left-justification is more likely now that menus will
be wide enough to show wide inventory lines without wrapping.)
Get rid of my ridiculous hack to force wider menu for the 'symset'
and 'roguesymset' sub-menus of 'O' since it's no longer useful.
There's still room for improvement. If any lines need to be wrapped
despite using the full width, or perhaps are just a lot wider than
most of the entries, menu width could be narrowed to just enough for
'normal' lines to fit so that one or two really long entries don't
distort the menu. That's a bit more complicated than I want to deal
with right now. [If implemented, it would be relevant for tty too.]
Fix a couple of warnings about unused variables but mainly handle
OSX's multiple-choice for configuration file name. I tried moving
my ~/.nethackrc to '~/Library/Prefences/NetHack Defaults.txt' and
both regular play and --showpaths are finding it successfully.
Also an untested fix for VMS. "nethackini" is not supposed to have
any path information attached.
Move makeplural(body_part(FINGER)) into its own routine, with option
to substitute gloves when wearing such.
Wearing slippery gloves (ie, wearing gloves while having slippery
fingers) wouldn't let you put on a ring because you can't take the
gloves off, but removing a worn ring lacked the same restriction.
After changing that, teach prayer that slippery gloves is another
reason why a ring of levitation can't be removed.
Add
--showpaths
early option to show where NetHack is expecting to find certain files
without starting up a game. It exits afterwards.

Slippery fingers would transfer from bare hands to gloved hands if
you put gloves on. The reverse, transfering from gloves to bare
hands when taking gloves off, was already being prevented for
directly taking them off, but still allowed the slipperiness to
transfer when gloves were lost. This prevents putting on gloves
when fingers are slippery and attempts to handle cases where gloves
get unworn by ways other than 'T' (or 'R') or 'A'.
There's no slippery attribute for objects (way too much work for too
little value); slippery gloves is just the combination of wearing
gloves and having slippery fingers (which now has to have happened
while already wearing those gloves). This changes inventory to use
"(being worn; slippery)" when applicable and much of the patch deals
with funnelling Glib changes through new make_glib() to try to make
sure that persistent inventory adds or removes "; slippery" right
away when changes happen.
If gloves are taken off involuntarily (shapechange to a form that
can't wear them, destruction via scroll of destroy armor or monster
spell of same or via overenchantment, theft), slippery fingers ends
right away instead of the usual few turns later.
When I expanded the Guidebook's sample configuration file I added
several status_hilite options. I decided that I'd better test what
was written and discovered that if Xp had an up or changed rule as
well as one or more percentage rules, it was showing bogus changes
whenever the integer value of the percentage changed. The fix
turned out to be simple but it took a while to figure out.
I ultimately left the status_hilite settings out of the sample
options, because they tended to be too wide for Guidebook.txt's
formatting rather than because they weren't working as expected.
Expand the sample configuration file a little and prevent it from
going past the right margin in Guidebook.txt.
Replace all instances of "config file" with "configuration file".
Reformat the "notes" at the end of the table of map symbols.
Unfortunately Guidebook.pdf from Guidebook.ps from Guidebook.mn
puts a page break between the header line "notes" and the two
actual notes.
Value 1 for 'mouse_support' was not just exceeding the margin of
Guidebook.txt but wrapping to the next line. Shorten it.
Guidebook.tex had a typo "in the foler" (where 'folder' was meant)
and Guidebook.mn didn't have that phrase at all.
Remove a few trailing spaces.
Noticed that "multiple" was misspelled for entry about menu action
':' misbehaving under curses, but the phrasing for whole entry was
difficult to comprehend so try to word it better.
[This one is in the highlights list with the old wording.]
