Styled as anatomy knowledge, a healer attacking a monster in melee
with a knife gets +1 damage per 6 dead monsters of that type,
capped at +3 damage.
Handwaving away the fact we're not keeping track who actually
killed the monsters...
Idea from aosdict.
These are often an important part of a character's build. There's
no purpose in listing them in disclose because the player generally
already knows what spells and skills they had and doesn't need them
identified, but they're useful when looking at someone else's game
or reminiscing over a past game.
Added the silver mace to be the base weapon type of Demonbane. It is appropriate that an artifact weapon designed to slay Demons would be made of (or plated with) silver. This helps to offset the damage reduction when Demonbane was changed from a longsword to a mace and makes it more specialized against silver-haters.
Set the probability to 2, equal to that of a silver spear.
Increased the weight of the silver mace by 120% -- equal to the weight increase from a normal spear to a silver spear. (Assuming the weapon is silver plated rather than made entirely out of silver.)
Increased the base cost to 60, a similar increase as spear to silver spear, to be an even number between silver spear and silver saber.
Monsters will prefer silver maces over regular maces.
Otherwise, identical in function to a normal mace.
gcc has recognized various "magic comments" for white-listing
occurrences of implicit fallthrough in switch statements for
a long time:
The range and shape of "falls through" comments accepted are
contingent upon the level of the warning. (The default level is =3.)
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=0 disables the warning altogether.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=1 treats any kind of comment as a "falls through" comment.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=2 essentially accepts any comment that contains something
that matches (case insensitively) "falls?[ \t-]*thr(ough|u)" regular expression.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 case sensitively matches a wide range of regular
expressions, listed in the GCC manual. E.g., all of these are accepted:
/* Falls through. */
/* fall-thru */
/* Else falls through. */
/* FALLTHRU */
/* ... falls through ... */
etc.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=4 also, case sensitively matches a range of regular
expressions but is much more strict than level =3.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 doesn't recognize any comments.
Plenty of other compilers did not recognize the gcc comment convention,
and up until now the compiler warning for detecting unintended
fallthrough had to be suppressed on other compilers. That's because the code
in NetHack has been relying on the gcc approach, and only the gcc approach.
The C23 standard introduces an attribute [[fallthrough]] for the
functionality, when implicit fallthrough warnings have been enabled.
Several popular compilers already support that, or a very similar attribute
style approach, today, even ahead of their C23 support:
C compiler whitelist approach
--------------------------- -------------------------------------
C23 conforming compilers [[fallthrough]]
clang versions supporting
standards prior to
C23 __attribute__((__fallthrough__))
Microsoft Visual Studio
since VS 2022 17.4.
The warning C5262 controls
whether the implict
fallthrough is detected and
warned about with
/std:clatest. [[fallthrough]]
This adds support to NetHack for the attribute approach by inserting a
macro FALLTHROUGH to the existing cases that require white-listing, so
other compilers can analyze things too.
The definition of the FALLTHROUGH macro is controlled in include/tradstdc.h.
The gcc comment approach has also been left in place at this time.
When 'tips' are enabled, the farlook tip displays some text at the
start of getpos(). But it clobbered the initial prompt, leaving
the screen in an ambiguous state (seemingly a normal map display,
but it is actually waiting for player to move the cursor) after
removing the tip's popup window.
Reissue the prompt. farlook's short but misleading prompt of
"Pick an object" is changed to "Pick a monster, object or location".
I would normally include a comma before "or" but omitting it makes
the longer text seem slightly less cluttered.
The other tips are all one-line, delivered via pline(). Prefix
all of their messages with "Tip:" (which the farlook one already
uses) as a hint for using OPTIONS=!tips to shut them off.
Issue reported by ars3niy: having a pauper wizard #enhance bare-handed
fighting to basic caused the hero to learn all level 1 spellbooks.
Spellbook discovery for wizards when advancing skills is intentional,
to replace the old Luck-based chance of writing unknown books with
magic markers. (The Luck bias for wizards still applies for scrolls.)
Discovering spellbooks when advancing non-spell skills does feel wrong.
Change it to only happen when advancing spell skills.
This isn't pauper-specific, it's just a lot more noticeable in that
state.
There may be better ways to cope with this, but for the time being I'm
marking the issue 'fixed'.
Fixes#1278
For 'pauper', most roles start without any skills. However, strong
fighter types were starting with basic bare-handed combat/marital arts,
giving them a big advantage. Knights were starting with basic riding,
which is probably useless now that they have to acquire a saddle to
use it (see below). Take those initial skills away, producing an even
playing field.
Non-paupers get their initial skills without needing to spend any skill
credits (aka slots) on those. Give paupers 2 starting credits that
they'll be able to use once they acquire suitable weapons or spells
and train them up, so that once they're reasonably developed they won't
lag in skills compared to non-paupers.
Pauper knights were still starting with a saddled pony. Suppress the
saddle when the knight is a pauper.
Wizards start knowing a lot of spellbooks. Pauper wizards shouldn't.
Give most roles advance knowledge of one low level spell or other item.
It won't benefit them unless/until they find the corresponding item.
The g? structs had a mix of variables that were written to
the savefile, and those that were not.
For better clarity and to distinguish those that end up in
the savefile, relocate some g? variables that get written
directly to the savefile into different structs.
This updates EDITLEVEL, although technically it probably
didn't need to, since savefile contents are not changing.

src/weapon.c(451): warning: Dereferencing NULL pointer 'uleft'.
The analyzer couldn't tell that a STRANGE_OBJECT not being made of
SILVER material, was sufficient to guard against dereference of
NULL uleft or uright in the l_ag and r_ag assignments.
Test and dereference each once to set indicator booleans, and use
the booleans afterwards.
Previously, Wizards got a boost to the chance of writing unknown
spellbooks based purely on being a Wizard (with the chance still
luck-based), leading to a very large power spike when the Wizard
gained access to a luckstone and the ability to max out luck.
This had two main issues: this power spike came *after* the major
early-game difficulty spike, often leaving Wizards forced to deal
with it without having appropriate spells; and it promotes
grinding (for Luck and for Magicbane) at an early point in the
game, meaning that the Wizard early game effectively followed a
sequence of extreme difficulty -> grinding -> minimal difficulty,
which isn't very good balance-wise.
With this commit, Wizards lose their advantage to writing unknown
spellbooks by guessing, and instead learn spellbook IDs based on
their spell skills (advancing a skill gives knowledge of higher-
level spellbooks). This means that writing unknown spellbooks
becomes guaranteed with sufficient skill, but has no advantage
over non-Wizards in schools where the Wixard does not have
sufficient skill.
Due to Wizards' skill caps, there are two spells which they can't
ever write guaranteed: create familiar and charm monster. Create
familiar is a fairly niche spell (that doesn't match the Wizard
playstyle that well) and being unable to write it is not a major
problem. The inability to easily write charm monster is
intentional.
Instead of just accepting an attribute, it's now possible to
use a color, or both color and attribute, for example:
OPTIONS=menu_headings:inverse
OPTIONS=menu_headings:red
OPTIONS=menu_headings:red&underline
Default is still just inverse.
This lets the player change the menu heading color without
needing to use menu colors for them.
Also makes it so the core uses NO_COLOR instead of 0, for all
the menu lines which don't have any prefedefined color.
Tested for tty, curses, x11, qt, and win32
cg.zeroobj was originally added (under its previous unprefixed name)
for providing a one-line way to zero out the fields of a struct obj.
struct obj tempobj;
tempobj = cg.zeroobj;
initfn(struct obj *otmp)
{
if (otmp)
*otmp = cg.zeroobj;
}
More recently, the address of cg.zeroobj began to be used as a return
flag to indicate some things, but the 'const struct obj zeroobj' wasn't
an ideal fit for the purpose and required a number of casts, including
casting away const.
Provide a better fitting variable (gi.invalid_obj) and eliminate a
number of casts.
Adds a more general way to handle gameplay tips, and adds
a boolean option "tips", which can be used to disable all
tips. Adds a helpful longer message when the game goes
into the "farlook" mode.
Also adds a lua binding to easily show multi-line text
in a menu window.
Breaks save compat.
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.
The consolidation of global variables from scattered source
files into decl.c and declared in decl.h was begun in 3.7.0.
Their placement in common files was done for centralized
initialization and potential re-initialization during a
"play again" scenario.
It wasn't really necessary for all of them to be housed in a
single huge structure to meet the "play again" requirement,
and the single huge structure has been a little unwieldy when
it comes to maintenance.
Following this commit, instead of one single extremely large structure
named 'g' to house all of the relocated global variables, they
are distributed into several ga through gz.
To make things easy for the developer, each variable is placed
into the struct corresponding to the starting letter of the variable.
That way, no lookup is required in order to know which struct houses
a particular variable, it is a simple match to the starting letter
for all the centralized global variables.
A global variable named 'amulets', would be found in ga.
ga.amulets
^ ^
A global varable named 'move', would be found in gm.
gm.moves
^ ^
A global variable named 'val_for_n_or_more' would be found in gv.
gv.val_for_n_or_more
^ ^
A global variable named 'youmonst' would be found in gy.
gy.youmonst
^ ^
Short for distu(mtmp->mx, mtmp->my) (i.e. the distance between the hero
and the specified monster), which is a very common use of distu(). The
idea is that this would be a convenient shorthand for it; I actually
thought it (or something very similar) existed already, but couldn't
find it when I tried to use it earlier. Based on the number of uses of
fully-spelled-out 'distu(mtmp->mx, mtmp->my)' replaced in this commit
I'm guessing I just imagined it.
Instead of using index() macro defined to strchr, use C99 strchr.
Instead of using rindex() macro defined to strrchr, use C99 strrchr.
If you want to try building on a platform that doesn't offer those
two functions, these are available:
define NOT_C99 /* to make some non-C99 code available */
define NEED_INDEX /* to define a macro for index() */
define NEED_RINDX /* to define a macro for rindex() */

Move some code that was used to decide whether to call distant_name
or doname into distant_name so that the places which were doing that
don't need to anymore and fewer places can care about whether an
artifact is being found. There were two or three instances of
distant_name maybe being called, based on distance from hero, and
yesterday's artifact livelog change added two or three more and made
all of them override the distance limit for artifacts.
After that change to distant_name, make sure that conditional calls
to it become unconditional--just not displayed for the cases where
!flags.verbose had been excluding them. That way distant_name can
decide whether an item is up close and arrange for xname to find it
if it as an artifact.
Also, implement an old TODO. Wearing the Eyes of the Overworld
extends the distance that an item can be from the hero and still be
considered near anough to be seen "up close" when monsters pick it
up or drop it. The explicit cases were using distu(x,y) <= 5, the
distance of a knight's jump. Each quadrant around the hero is a 2x2
square with the diagonal corner chopped off. The replacement code in
distant_name calculates a value of 6, which is functionally equivalent
since the next value of interest beyond 5 is 8. Wearing the Eyes
(deduced by having Xray vision) extends that threshold an extra step
in addition to overriding blindness and seeing through walls: 15,
a 3x3 square in each quadrant, still with the far diagonal corner (16)
treated as out of range.
Message shown when hero sees a monster's wet towel become less wet:
"<Mon>'s {moist|wet} towel drie[ out]." Corresponding message for
hero's towel spelled "dries" correctly.
Reported for to-be-3.7 but present since 3.6.0.
When amnesia drains your skills the skill training would be set
to a random amount rather than a random valid amount for the new
level of skill.
This meant that, for example, you could have Master skill level in
martial arts but with the training amount of Basic.
Attempts to retrain to level martial arts to Grand Master would
then take an extraordinary amount of time compared to usual.
Fix taken from Evilhack
Instead of returning 0 or 1, we'll now use ECMD_OK or ECMD_TURN.
These have the same meaning as the hardcoded numbers; ECMD_TURN
means the command uses a turn.
In future, could add eg. a flag denoting "user cancelled command"
or "command failed", and should clear eg. the cmdq.
Mostly this was simply replacing return values with the defines
in the extended commands, so hopefully I didn't break anything.
Use a wrapper around snprintf to consilidate all use, add

further adjustments to the window port interface to pass a pointer
to a glyph_info struct which describes not just the glyph number
itself, but also the ttychar, the color, the glyphflags, and the
symset index.
This affects two existing window port calls that get passed glyphs
and does the parameter consistently for both of them using the
glyph_info struct pointer:
print_glyph()
add_menu().
The recently added glyphmod parameter is now unnecessary and has been
removed.
