This turned out to be a lot more work than I anticipated, but it is
definitely simpler (other than having #wizmakemap take achievements
away if you replace the level that contains the 'prize', which wasn't
handled before).
I cheated and made Mine's End into a no-bones level because the new
flagging scheme for luckstone, bag, and amulet can't carry over from
one game to another. It probably should have been no-bones all along.
Sokoban didn't have this issue because it's already no-bones.
Existing save files are invalidated.
Make wearing a wet towel confer new attribute Half_gas_damage in
addition to the usual blindness. It reduces damage from being inside
a gas cloud region and from being hit by poison gas breath attack.
It also fully blocks breathing of potion vapors.
Might make the Plane of Fire easier although overcoming its blindness
with telepathy won't reveal elementals. Definitely has the potential
to make blind-from-birth conduct easier which wasn't the intent and
probably isn't significant.
Move 'implicit_uncursed' and 'mention_walls' from iflags to flags to
make their current setting persist across save/restore. Invalidates
existing save files.
teleds() is used for more than just teleportations, the teleportation message
was also given when mounting a steed.
Trying out a new bit flags method parameter design pattern.
When browsing the map while hallucinating and looking at a pool, a
moat, or 'other' water or at molten lava, report with hallucinatory
liquids rather than the ordinary substance. Likewise when browsing
self on map or using ^X would report "sinking into lava".
When trapped in lava, change the text from "stuck in the lava" to
"sinking into lava" to describe the situation much more accurately.
Instead of doing that twice, move the u.utraptype feedback into a
separate routine that both enlightenment and self-lookat can use.
Apply makes a touch_artifact check on the tool being applied, but
autounlock would pick an unlocking tool to use without doing that.
Noticed while fixing that: autounlock took no time.
Since picking an artifact unlocking tool might now blast the hero,
change the tool selection. First choice: any key except another
role's quest artifact; second: any lock-pick except another role's
quest artifact; third: any credit card except another role's quest
artifact; fourth, fifth, sixth: other roles' quest artifact key,
lock-pick, or credit card. The fifth category (artifact lock-picks)
is empty. Rogues will pick non-cursed Master Key over any other
key (special case for first choice). Tourists will pick a key or
a lock-pick over their PYEC (first and second choices over third).
Allow wishing for secret doors and secret corridors. It's a bit
more strict about where the wish is performed than wishing for
furniture. Implemented in order to test drum of earthquake effects.
I spent a lot of time figuring out SDOOR details that somebody
already knew at some point but evidently didn't document--you can't
specify D_CLOSED for them or the display code will issue impossible
warnings about wall mode angles.
If the core frees the obj struct referred by lua, don't free it,
just mark it as OBJ_LUAFREE - lua will free it in gc once all
the references to it are gone.
Whenever a lua script references a core struct obj, increment a counter
in the obj struct. Core code will not free the obj, if there are any
lua references pointing to it, just makes it free-floating.
When lua script ends, the lua gc will free the free-floating objects.
Also exposes u.inventory to lua.
Breaks save and bones compat.
groundwork only - window port interface change
This changes the last parameter for add_menu() from a boolean
to an unsigned int, to allow additional itemflags in future
beyond just the "preselected" that the original boolean offered.
There shouldn't be any functionality changes with this groundwork-only
change, and if there are it is unintentional and should be reported.
Bite the bullet and add a special purpose boolean option to control
game behavior for random clairvoyance. When objects or monsters are
discovered, it normally issues "you sense your surroundings" and
performs a getpos() operation which allows the player to browse the
map by moving the cursor around and getting 'autodescribe' feedback.
But there have been complaints that once the hero has the Amulet
(which triggers random clairvoyance even though hero isn't flagged
as having that attribute) the message and pause-to-browse become too
intrusive.
This was initially combined with the 'timed clairvoyance' fix because
they both bump EDITLEVEL to invalidate existing save files, but their
details don't interact so I separated them.
When the hero has random clairvoyance, the code used
| (moves % 15) == 0 && rn2(2) != 0
(where 'moves' is actually the turn number) to decide when it would
kick in and show a portion of the map. If the hero was fast enough
to get an extra move when the turn value met the (moves % 15) == 0
condition then clairvoyance could happen twice (or more if poly'd)
on the same turn.
The changes (one new field, reordering a few others) in 'struct
context' invalidate existing 3.7.0-x save files.
Fixes#266
Allow a way to configure NetHack to run entirely from a USB stick
or other removable device in a way that allows everything to
reside entirely on the USB stick, and nothing on the computer's
hard drive. That could be done in versions prior to 3.6.3.
Sample:
i: is a USB stick
i:\nhdist contains the NetHack Windows distribution and a sysconf
file dropped into that distribution with the following entry in it:
portable_device_top = nethack
No device is included in the portable_device_top entry, the device
is always the device that the nethack exe resides on. If you try
to specify a device in the portable_device_top path, the device
portion will be ignored.
portable_device_top specifies the folder on the device that is writable
by NetHack and as such it cannot be the same folder that the executable
resides in.
i:\nhdist\nethack --showpaths
Variable playground locations:
[hackdir ]="i:\nethack\"
[leveldir ]="i:\nethack\"
[savedir ]="i:\nethack\"
[bonesdir ]="i:\nethack\"
[datadir ]="i:\nhdist\"
[scoredir ]="i:\nethack\"
[lockdir ]="i:\nethack\"
[sysconfdir]="i:\nhdist\"
[configdir ]="i:\nethack\"
[troubledir]="i:\nethack\"
NetHack's system configuration file (in sysconfdir):
"i:\nhdist\sysconf"
The loadable symbols file (in sysconfdir):
"i:\nhdist\symbols"
Basic data files (in datadir) are collected inside:
"i:\nhdist\nhdat363"
No end-of-game disclosure file (disabled).
Writable folder for portable device config (sysconf portable_device_top):
"i:\nethack\"
Your personal configuration file (in configdir):
"i:\nethack\.nethackrc"
Without that sysconf file in the NetHack distribution folder on the
USB stick with the 'portable_device_top = ' entry, the paths
return to the default locations for 3.6.3 on Windows:
i:\nhdist\nethack --showpaths
Variable playground locations:
