- fix bug in git hooks that loses file permissions when doing variable expansion
- fix execute permissions on sys/unix/hints/macosx.sh
- explicitly call out perl as required for hooks in Developer.txt
First reported two years ago, then again this week by someone else
who didn't go through the web contact page (so no new #H number or
bugzilla entry). Using vmsbuild.com to build on VAX complains about
not being able to resolve a bunch of functions--it's basically
trying to build the full program using only the code supplied by
sys/vms/vmsmain.c. The original report mentioned a workaround and
was also dealing with a second issue (already fixed post-3.6.0) that
I incorrectly guessed was responsible for the linking problem. This
report had the correct linker magic to fix the linking issue.
I'm still not sure whether the order of /Library and /Include after
the name of an object library file on a LINK command line matters.
In a linker options file, which vmsbuild.com constructs and uses,
/Include needs to come first so that the contents of the library are
searched after the explicitly included object modules are processed.
Building with the Makefiles (using DEC's MMS or some versions of
freeware MMK) doesn't collect the object files into a library so was
never affected by this. And the linker options ordering issue is
apparently specific to the VAX/VMS linker; vmsbuild.com run on Alpha
and on IA64 linked 3.6.0 successfully without this fix.
Due to the new player selection dialog I did, it was possible
to rename your character - but this didn't rename the lock files
and tried to load a save from the wrong name.
This is a bit of a hack, but seems to work and didn't seem to
cause problems for the tty.
New code in nttty.c had a dependency on gdi32.lib. Previously
that was only being linked in for the gui build when using the
Makefile.
Move the reference into the base libraries if both tty and gui
depend on it now.
Added support to detect when the current console font has glyphs
that are too wide and will cause rendering errors in the console.
If detected, we warn the user and change the code page to 437
and the font to Consolas. At exit, if we had changed the font
and code page then we will restore to the original font and code page.
Defined strbuf_t and related routines to support dynamically sized
strings. Modified strip_newline() to strip the last newline in a string
instead of the first.
Simplified splash window code using new strbuf_t.
Prior to exiting game, re-enable getreturn and call wait_synch() in
case there is buffered raw prints that must be displayed to user.
The dialog shows the player's name, race, role, gender, and
alignment in a single window, similar to the Qt4 dialog.
Also allows randomizing the character selection.
Use the dialog by setting OPTIONS=player_selection:dialog
Originally by Ray Chason for 3.4.3, based on the Qt windowport by
Warwick Allison. The look and feel is mostly the same.
Some improvements over the Qt 3 interface are:
* Panes are resizable
* Full support for IBMgraphics, and walls and corridors are drawn with
graphical primitives for a continuous appearance no matter what the font
says
* Lots of irritating glitches fixed
* Menus support proportional fonts correctly
Adding this because the old Qt windowport cannot be compiled on Qt4,
even with Qt3 compatibility stuff.
TODO:
- background map glyphs
- status hilites
- menucolors
Turning the boolean option force_invmenu makes all the commands
that ask for an inventory item pop up a menu instead of asking
a text query. This should be much more friendlier to new
players, and is very useful for window ports on systems
with touch screens and no physical keyboard, such as cell phones.
I started out just reformatting the function header for regularize()
but ended up doing miscellaneous other stuff, including some code
changes. I think the CHDIR code is a bit cleaner now, but shouldn't
have any differences in behavior.
Along the way I noticed that 'nethack -dpath' or 'nethack -d path'
modifies argv[] before PANICTRACE attempted to save argv[0], so would
break having nethack invoke gdb to get a backtrace. ('ARGV0' seems to
be unnecessary since 'hname' holds the same value, but I didn't get rid
of it....)
If user can make NETHACKOPTIONS point to a file, that user could then
get the file contents via the extended config file error reporting.
Add CONFIG_ERROR_SECURE compile-time option to make that case output
only the first error, no line number or error context.
Reduce the chance of a player playing on a public server encountering
their own bones, by implementing separate bones pools. The pool a player
belongs to is determined at game start, and only bones in that pool
are used. The sysconf BONES_POOLS allows the sysadmin to define how
many pools there are.
Reported directly to devteam, so no #H number. Conditional code in
amii_get_ext_cmd() included an unmatched '{', which would break
compilation (at least if EXTMENU was enabled) and also resulted in
the remainder of winami.c being mis-formatted (the functions there
were treated as being inside a block rather than at file level).
This is completely untested.
There's some code suppressed via '#if 0' with a comment "fix for PL2".
We haven't used the patch-level nomenclature since version 3.0!
Reported directly to devteam, so no #H number. If SIMULATE_CURSOR
isn't defined, there would be no switch statement to attach the
subsequent cases to.
The suggested fix is obviously correct, but untested....
On OSX, one of the XQuartz header files triggers a compiler warning
about using a gcc extension, resulting in a diagnostic for each of
the files compiled with the WANT_WIN_X11 set of CFLAGS. Use the
same fix as hints/macosx10.8 already does.
