While watching a ttyrec, I noticed strange behaviour in
the cursor updates; it was moved to approximately middle
of the map window every so often, usually when doing ranged
attacks. This wasn't really noticeable in normal gameplay,
as it was moving the cursor there, and then almost immediately
to where it was supposed to be.
I managed to trace it down to the refresh() in curses_delay_output().
That call updates the terminal to match the ncurses stdscr window,
but the stdscr window cursor position wasn't updated by NetHack.
Some bits made when attempting and failing to figure out the curses
problem (which turned out to be an early return skipping reset of
input timeout and fixed by paxed).
parse_escape_sequence changed getch timeout, but when receiving
a certain escape sequence, it returned without changing the
timeout back. This caused all subsequent getch calls be
non-blocking, and getch returns ERR when there's no input
waiting in that mode.
NetHack interprets ERR as the terminal going away, so performs
an automatic save.
1. Add "engraved room floor" pchar sym (S_engroom). The symbol that
displays at the engraved part of a room (not a corridor though).
The default symbol is '`' which is currently never shown if people
have defined the boulder symbol to '0' and statues are displayed as
monster symbols. It is bright blue.
Add some stylized variations of the S_engroom symset to some of
the symsets.
2. Add "engraved corridor" pchar sym (S_engrcorr). The symbol that
displays at the engraved part of a corridor. The default symbol is
'#', and it matches the symbol for corridor from for whatever the
current symset uses. It is bright blue to match the color of the
S_engroom symbol. Using the normal corridor symbol for display
preserves the lines of the corridor so is not as visually-disruptive
as a smaller symbol would be. Explicit entries that match the S_corr
symbol have been added to the symset file.
Magic mapping and clairvoyance impacts yet to be determined.
The Guidebook updates will come later.
In some scenarios where a message prompted a 'more' (in curses shown as
'>>'), the '>>' could overwrite the last one or two characters of the
message.
This could happen if a single message on its own was the length of the
message space minus 2 (e.g. for an 80 character terminal, "h - a concave
amulet named this is an amulet name, it is very long, and so on."), or
if an addition to an existing line brought it to the length of the
message space minus 1 or 2 (e.g. "You materialize on a different level!
You remember this level as testlevlname."). The two scenarios had
slightly different causes.
I think this fixes both of those scenarios. I believe this is the
cause of the problem described in GitHub issue #990 but there isn't
enough detail to know that for a fact.
Meta-key fix for curses interface running on top of ncurses library.
Previously only digits and lower case letters would produce a meta
character when combined with Alt (or Option on Apple keyboards), now
it should work for any basic character (not arrows or other function
keys). It only works on terminals that send two characters ESC k
for Alt+k but that is not a change in behavior.
curses interface running on top of PDcurses library uses different
code which isn't fixed by this. The alt key fixup it does have was
already present in curses_read_char() and recently got duplicated in
curses_convert_keys(). At least one other routine calls the latter
so it was necessary, but curses_read_char() calls that routine so
doesn't need to keep its own copy of the fixup.
They weren't working at all because the values of ALT_A through ALT_Z
were out of the normal char range with PDCurses, and caught by the default
case in the switch, where reject got set.
/* use key as-is unless it's out of normal char range */
reject = ((uchar) ret < 1 || ret > 255);
Issue reported by jeremyhetzler: left and right arrows produced
unexpected characters when trying to use them to edit text that is
being entered.
The curses interface converts arrow keys and function keys related
to the keypad into movement keys (hjkl or 4286 depending on the
number_pad setting). But it was doing that all the time, not just
when nethack wanted movement keys. This extends the existing
program_state.getting_a_command flag to getdir() so that it can be
used for controlling that in addition to 'altmeta' support.
Typing an arrow when interacting with the map (actual command or
getpos, now getdir too) will still work. Typing one when making a
wish or naming a pet will issue a beep and be treated as if '\0' had
been typed, and that normally gets treated as if ESC had been typed.
[Possible room for improvement there. Losing the whole text when
trying to back up a character feels a bit harsh.]
Treating left arrow as escape rather than as h or 4 will probably be
enough to train players not to try to edit text with it after they
get burned by that a time or two.
Bonus fix: curses' keystroke conversion only supported traditional
number_pad behavior, not the inverted phone number pad layout.
Closes#987
For the !defined(DEF_PAGER) config, if the file to be displayed
can't be opened, refresh the screen after complaining about that
rather than when no complaint is issued.
I was looking at backporting an X11 build fix to 3.6 and decided
that the hangup handling wasn't correct if SAFERHANGUP is defined
(which it is by default). It didn't attempt to perform a hangup
save. Also, the handler might return when the X code calling it
expected it to not do so.
I don't know how to force a hangup within X11 so haven't tested
this properly. It works fine when there's no hangup. :-/
Give generic objects a name as well as a description to avoid some
potential object formatting problems. Also remove the 'unique' flag
from them to avoid confusion. Not exhaustively tested.
sound_verbal(char *text, int32_t gender, int32_t tone, int32_t vol,
int32_t moreinfo);
-- NetHack will call this function when it wants to pass text of
spoken language by a character or creature within the game.
-- text is a transcript of what has been spoken.
-- gender indicates MALE or FEMALE sounding voice.
-- tone indicates the tone of the voice.
-- vol is the volume (1% - 100%) for the sound.
-- moreinfo is used to provide additional information to the soundlib.
-- there may be some accessibility uses for this function.
It may be useful for accessibility purposes too.
A preliminary implementation has been attempted for macsound to test
the interface on macOS. No tinkering of the voices has been done.
Use of the test implementation requires the following at build time with make.
WANT_SPEECH=1
That needs to be included on the make command line to enable the test code,
otherwise just the interface update is compiled in.
I don't know for certain when AVSpeechSynthesizer went into macOS, but older versions
likely don't support it, and would just leave off the WANT_SPEECH=1.
If built with WANT_SPEECH=1, the 'voices' NetHack option needs to be enabled.
It was a bit strange, when I first started up the test, to hear Asidonhopo,
the shopkeeper, talking to me as I entered his shop and interacted with him.
Add "walls of lava", basically lava which blocks vision and
require a bit more than just levitation or flight to move through.
No levels use this yet, as testing isn't thorough enough.
Start to add supporting code to windsound and macsound. The latter
remains commented out because I haven't had a chance to try
it on macOS yet.
In order to test it out, I added two more stock sounds:
sa2_xplevelup and sa2_xpleveldown.
Switch to using the term "sound triggers" for things that
result in a call to one of the soundlib routines.
SNDCAP_* renamed to SOUND_TRIGGER_*
sndcap field in the sound_procs struct changed to sound_triggers
rename display_gamewindows() to init_sound_and_display_gamewindows()
(I know that's getting pretty long-named).
move activate_chosen_soundlib() into init_sound_and_display_gamewindows()
from moveloop_preamble().
Also included was a missing break in a switch related to sounds.
Having a hardcoded relative path worked okay with the nmake Makefile
build but cause problems on a visual studio build. The CI caught that
right away.
Remove the relative paths, and add additional include directories for
the resouce compiler to search in the Makefile and in visual studio.
Expand windsound to support SNDCAP_USERSOUNDS (existing),
SNDCAP_SOUNDEFFECTS, SNDCAP_HEROMUSIC.
Place a small number of wav files into sound/wav that are considered
more specific to some game stuff in the core, namely: playing
instruments by the hero, squeaky board traps. The intention is that
those ones can be integrated into the game without requiring user
file deposits or mappings. Building soundlib support for sound/windsound
searches for them as resources, so they should "just work."
No actual instrument playback is available in the base sound/windsound
soundlib implementation (yet, at least), so it works around that in
a cheap way by using the note-variant wav sounds to concoct the
notes. There are better ways of doing music generation than that,
of course, but this will do in the early going. Any other soundlib
port (such as Qt) can probably easily do the exact same thing. If it
can play USER_SOUNDS, it can almost certainly use the
sound/wav/se_squeak*.wav and sound/wav/sound_*.wav files for
SND_HEROMUSIC and squeaky board sounds soundeffects.
A few of the se_ sounds in sound/wav are free yet licensed, and
there is a file called attributions.txt to meticulously attempt
to comply with the two license variations involved.
SND_SOUNDEFFECTS_AUTOMAP
If SND_SOUNDEFFECTS_AUTOMAP is defined, and a SND_LIB_ interface
that supports SNDPROC_SOUNDEFFECTS is also defined to integrate
soundlib support, the following gets added:
o If sounddir is defined (existing longstanding feature that's
been used with USER_SOUNDS for many, many years) any wav file
present in SOUNDDIR with a name that matches one of the defined
sound effects in include/sndproc.h will get played each time
that soundeffect comes up. So, just drop appropriate wav files
into sounddir and rename it to match.
No tedious config file entries are required to get soundeffects.
[ The only config file change required is to
set SOUNDDIR to point to your directory with the wav files.
Note: SOUNDDIR only works in your config file if NetHack
was built with USER_SOUNDS defined. ]
This is new so there may certainly be some bugs in here.
Please kindly report them if you encounter any.
For those that don't read C very well, these are the file names
that should trigger the SOUNDEFFECTS_AUTOMAP, assuming it is working.

This needs further testing. At the moment only windsound has
this.
If nobody else looks into it for Qt, I'll take a look in a
few days.
Groundwork for a more versatile interface for using
sound libraries. A lot of sound libraries work across
multiple platforms.
The current NetHack sound stuff is quite limited.
Binaries can have a variety of window ports linked into
them, and it makes sense to have something similar for
sound.
This tries to set things up in a more soundlib-centric way,
rather than inserting things in a platform-centric way.
It establishes a new top-level directory sound (akin to win
for the window interface routines, or "window-port") where
sound-related additions and sndprocs and support files can be
added and used across platforms.
The default interface is nosound and the 'nosound' interface
is in src/sounds.c
The interface for 'windsound', which contains the same minimal
USER_SOUNDS support using built-in routines that has been in the
windows port for a long time is added to
sound/windsound/windsound.c.
For now, the sound interface support for 'qtsound' has been added
to the existing Qt files win/Qt/qt_bind.h and win/Qt/qt_bind.cpp,
and a note has been placed in sound/qtsound/README.md to avoid
confusion.
New header file added: include/sndprocs.h.
Remove some conditional code that isn't needed these days.
Use C99 fixed width integer types for all platforms, instead
of using it for some and Microsoft types for others.
A number of C compiler suites have a math.h library that includes a yn()
function name that conflicts with NetHack's yn() macro:
"The y0(), y1(), and yn() functions are Bessel functions of the second kind,
for orders 0, 1, and n, respectively. The argument x must be positive. The
argument n should be greater than or equal to zero. If n is less than zero,
there will be a negative exponent in the result."
At one point, isaac64.h included math.h, although that has since been removed.
Some libraries used in NetHack (Qt for one) do include math.h and that required
build work-arounds to avoid the conflict.
Rename the NetHack macro from yn() to y_n() and avoid the math.h conflict
altogether, eliminating the need for that particular work-around.
A recent commit to alloc.c by Keni drew attention to the fact that
there are extern prototypes scattered around in various .c files.
Those can make use of ATTRNORETURN (non-gcc compilers and C23) the
same way the prototypes in extern.h can, and they were overlooked
when ATTRNORETURN was first added.
