o Add support for zlib compression via ZLIB_COMP in config.h (ZLIB_COMP
and COMPRESS are mutually exclusive).
o rlecomp and zerocomp are run time options available if RLECOMP and
ZEROCOMP are defined, but not turned on by default if either COMPRESS
or ZLIB_COMP are defined.
o Add information to the save file about internal compression options
used when writing the save file, particularly rlecomp and zerocomp
support.
o Automatically adjust rlecomp and zerocomp (if support compiled in)
when reading in an existing savefile that was saved with those options
turned on. Still allows writing out of savefile in preferred format.
o In order to support zlib and not conflict with compress and uncompress
routines there, the NetHack internal functions were changed to
nh_uncompress and nh_compress as done in the zlib contribution received
in 1999 from <Someone>.
I tagged the sources NETHACK_3_5_0_PREZLIB prior to applying these
changes.
For now, the code is conditional on BARGETHROUGH
being defined, while it gets tested further. While behavior is
different with and without BARGETHROUGH defined, savefiles
are the same either way.
After this patch is applied, only the riders have the M3_DISPLACES
bit set, but the Wizard and Vlad probably should too. Any others?
Add config.h experimental option AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTIONS.
It's an interface-only change which allows you to add lines to your
config file to selectively avoid autopickup of items based on their
text description that is displayed when you pick them up. It does
it by matching a pattern against the xname singular return value.
For example:
autopickup_exception = "*corpse" will avoid picking up corpses, even if
food (%) is in your pickup_types.
autopickup_exception = "*brown*"
will avoid picking up any brown items (why, I do not know)
autopickup_exception = "*loadstone"
will NOT avoid picking up loadstones, unless they are already
identified, because the xname string will be "gray stone", so no
match there.
The matching has no knowledge of in-game objects, it is just
a text pattern match, thus it is an interface change, not a gameplay
change, and it is meant as a convenience for players.
This patch gives game and savefile compatibility
whether GOLDOBJ is defined or not.
You can build with GOLDOBJ defined or not, and
still load your saved games. Rebuild with the
opposite, and load the same game.
That way GOLDOBJ can be experimented with
more easily.
1. Leave the "you" struct and the "monst"
struct the same under the hood between
GOLDOBJ and !GOLDOBJ.
2. Always write out gold as an
object on the player and monster
inventory chains.
On a restore of the savefile with GOLDOBJ
not defined, take the gold objects out of
the inventory chains and put it into u.ugold
or mtmp->mgold as appropriate.
On a restore of the savefile with GOLDOBJ
defined, nothing special is done.
- Version change from 3.4.x
- timed_delay feature ignore in makedefs
- several flags from iflags to flags
- use offsets from mons array entries in save file rather than storing
the ptr and calculating the distance from beginning of array
Make the support of user sounds apparent in the
#version command. Also add a small section on
them to the Guidebook.
(The doc/Guidebook.mn version of this section
needs testing)
Add a missing check to makedefs so it prints a warning about misplaced %Es.
Fix a couple places in quest.txt pointed out by the new warning.
There's no visible effect on play, since the code that actually reads the
message keeps reading until the next %C.
makedefs has been listing TIMED_DELAY as one of the options which
affects save file contents even though that hasn't been the case for
a long time. Unfortunately, simply fixing that by itself would break
save file compatibility for anyone who has been building with it set.
This workaround prevents the fix from doing that. And now folks can
rebuild after toggling TIMED_DELAY without unnecessarily invalidating
save and bones files.
-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.
