The NOCWD_ASSUMPTIONS conditional code allows readonly
parts of NetHack to be separated from areas that require write-access.
This allows the recent panic log needed a prefix.
Add an optional paniclog file, controlled by a new PANICLOG macro that can
be used to log all panic and impossible messages. Helpful when people
forget to send, or didn't see, the message.
Add a param to newcham() to let it print "The oldmon turns into a newmon!"
rather than always printing this externally. Should ensure a good ordering
of the messages. Also put some special name handling in one place and
catch a couple cases where "saddled" was printed, resulting in funny messages.
- fix destruction of primary game windows
- One, it makes the color of the cursor box dynamic (these are the gnmap.c
changes), based on hp/hpmax (continuous colors white -> yellow -> red ->
magenta rather than discrete like in Qt).
- Two, it adds a new window, NHW_WORN (all the other changes and new files
gnworn.[ch]), placed at the end of the first row, to the right of the status,
with tiles of all the items currently equiped. I had to change the spacing of
the first row (no longer homogeneous) to accomodate this, but I think it still
looks okay. It's mostly like the Qt version but the equiped items are in
slightly different places, and a bit more compactly (added quiver, ball/chain,
monster skin armor; see the definition in gnworn.c for the layout).

(the following text accompanies the patch at <Someone>'s web page)
add more configurability to the new msg_window option of [..]3.4.0.
It allows the configuration option to take an optional parameter to
specify the style of message history display to use.
allows the following configuration options:
msg_window:s - single message (as was the default in 3.3.0)
msg_window:c - combination; two messages in 'single', then as 'full'
msg_window:f - full window; oldest message first
msg_window:r - full window reversed; newest message first
In the event of no parameter being provided,
the patch is compatible with the current 3.4.0 behaviour:
msg_window = 'full'
!msg_window = 'single'
msg_window can be configured for these options in the
Options menu (Shift-O)
msg_window stores the current window type in the non-persistent
iflags structure, which means that savefile/bones files should be
100% compatible with Vanilla, but at the disadvantage that your
customisations to msg_window will be replaced with your
defaults.nh (or ~/.nethackrc) value every time you restart a saved game.
Credits:
The patch draws inspiration (and code snippets) extensively
from <Someone>'s original msg_window patch, [...] as well as <Someone>'s code for reverse ordering implemented until recently in
Slash'em.
- when a shopkeeper leaves the shop to chase the player, and the player
enters the shop, bill_p is set to an unusual value. bill_p needs to be set
back to a valid value if the shopkeeper re-enters the shop.
- Also, the u.ushops state needs to be updated when a shop becomes tended
again if the player is in the shop.
- introduce a new after_shk_move function to handle this
Addresses reports R718, R772.1, <Someone> P's extra move bug
- when there is a previously seen path or a straight path, always take it
- incorporate fix to ensure no extra "." turn at the end of traveling, but
still avoid stepping into traps/pools, et al
- include a general "G"-command (and travel) fix to avoid stepping in
known pools/lava while blind
- when there is no such path, "guess" at a path by finding an intermediate
location that the hero couldsee that is closest to the actual goal, the
intermediate goal is re-determined at each step
- when Blind, don't use couldsee for determining straight paths, just direction
- do not consider doors or most boulders obstacles for picking travel
paths, test_move has a new mode to differentiate this case from the regular
test case
- don't include known trap locations in the travel path, avoids unnecessary
stops along the way, and usually doesn't affect the path length
- reformatted the code a bit so I could follow it
Can't push boulders through iron bars; traps can't roll such through either;
likewise for objects thrown by monsters.
Thrown objects susceptible to breaking might do so when they hit iron bars.
Assorted monsters can pass through iron bars; ditto for polymorphed character.
Attempting to dig iron bars will wake nearby monsters instead of yielding
"you swing your pick-axe through thin air".
Autodig won't accept iron bars as candidate location.
Add "travel" boolean option to enable/disable travel command.
Add "mouse_support" wincap option to enable/disable mouse.
- When running the win32 tty version full-screen, some people
complained about the square mouse cursor.

Fixing some iron ball/teleds stuff:
-- If the player can pass through walls, ignore all checks for walls, or else
things will behave weirdly.
-- Instead of using the kludge "if the distance is >2 it must be a teleport",
pass a parameter indicating whether they crawled or teleported onto the new
space. This fixes a special case, where the player moved one space and the
ball didn't move, but the chain moved through solid rock. This is acceptable
if teleporting and unacceptable if dragging.
This also required some rearrangement of teleds() so that u.ux,u.uy
are set after placing the ball, not before. I'm still not sure the pit
filling line is in the right place; anyone know?
-- add some comments so I can look at the code in a month and still know what
I did.
Most of this patch is just adding the new parameter.
Replace "feature_toggle" implementation with an easier-to-understand
boolean option called "lootabc".
Provide "showrace", an option to display the hero by race glyph rather
than by role glyph.
Document the above.
Remove some obsolete Mac options.
There was at least one more special case aside from throwing
(jetisoning items to reduce weight after falling in water) which
have needed the same extra code. This is a more general fix.
If you stepped on an unknown rolling boulder trap, and that rolling boulder
hit a monster and killed it, you would be called a killer. This makes
playing a pacifism conduct game rather difficult.
- track boulders from unknown rolling boulder traps, and don't charge/credit
hero if they kill monsters. This is done by temporarily setting otrapped on
such boulders.
- boulders from known traps are still charged/credited to the hero
- fix a couple places in ohitmon where is_poisonable wasn't checked along
with opoisoned.
This adds a generic feature_toggle mechanism to
the game. Code that wants to offer two different
ways of doing something can add an entry to
feature_toggles[] (in decl.c), and create a
preprocessor macro for its array index in decl.h.
Then the code can test it using
if (feature_toggle(FEATURE_NAME))
..do_this..
else
..do_that..
The player can toggle the alternate code path
on using OPTIONS=feature_toggle:feature_name_1 feature_name_2 ...
This seems better than creating brand new options
for controlling features (ala prayconfirm, which
could switch to this single option feature_toggle
mechanism as well)
My first use of it is to allow toggling of the selectors
on the loot menu, which I'm hesitant to just change back
because now people are actively using the new selectors and
the complaints would be really loud if the interface were
to just switch back after they adjusted.
The default behaviour is the new behaviour "iob", but with an
OPTIONS=feature_toggle:loot_menu_selectors
in your config file, it will revert to using "abc" as it did
in 3.3.1. I'll add a Guidebook page of "features/behaviour
that can be toggled" later.
The toggles can only be done in defaults.nh, and are
not saved with the game.
- support X11 tile files (with or without XPM) that are 40 tiles wide
- rearrange some X11 code to share more code between XPM & non-XPM options
- clean out some deprecated X11/winmap.c #ifdefs
- update Qt code minimally to handle such an XPM file
- splash_screen (boolean for whether to display splash screen at startup)
- player_selection:dialog|prompts
Also moves the font and window manipulation stuff in defaults.nh
further down the file, so that a tty users doesn't have to wade
through it all to find the character adjustment samples.
part 1 touches core files
ntconf.h changes differ slightly from Yitzhak's original.
Makes Borland happy with current sources.
Hides "rawio" on Graphical Port which doesn't do anything with rawio
The Kop Kaptain's rubber hose shatters from the force of your blow!
Rubber hoses are an individual exception that would need to be dealt
with explicitly, since the PLASTIC they're made of is floppy rather
than rigid as for other PLASTIC items.
Add option windowcolors to control foreground/background
color of menu, message, status, and text windows.
(foreground color is the text color).
The value of the colors is window port specific, the
core code handles the storing of the strings only.
- set OPTIONS_FILE in ntconf.h so makedefs will use it
- it gets set to either "ttyoptions" or "guioptions" depending on window port
being built
- dlb nhdat creation stuffs both into the dlb file
-Allow overriding of OPTIONS_FILE in makdefs.c
-Change obsolete WIN32_GRAPHICS to the correct MSWIN_GRAPHICS
-Remove the 8514 and VESA screen control stuff since it never existed.
This prevents wizkit items that aren't objects from having their names
printed on the screen if they are gold pieces, traps, or similar.
(Note that the only one of those that actually works is gold. For some reason
if you put "a hole" (for instance) in the wizkit, the hole will not get
created, even though it will, even on the stairs, if the wizard wishes for it
in-game.)
