[this is not meant to trigger re-packaging for 3.4.3]
Windows CE defines leave as part of exception handling (__leave)
It confilicts with existing sources and since we don't use exceptions
it is safe to undefine it
It was possible to get a shopkeeper to carry the Amulet from the
bottom of the dungeon up to the location of his shop, thereby bypassing
the usual labor of lugging it up yourself. [Drop the Amulet somewhere;
rob a shop so that the Kops are summoned and the shk comes after you;
when shk is next you, level teleport to the Amulet (probably two hops,
one to the Valley and another deeper into Gehennom); walk to the vicinity
of the Amulet; shk will eventually pick it up (shopkeepers like to pick
up magic items); now, pay him for the stolen goods--he'll be pacified
and migrate back to his shop, taking his inventory with him; lastly,
return to his shop and relieve him of his burder.] This patch makes
shopkeepers drop the Amulet or invocation tools if/when they set set to
migrate to their normal location.
Also fix another long standing risk that a monster that is sent
away (nurse when healing, Kops when you pacify a shopkeeper) might be
carrying the Amulet or one of the invocation tools and make the game
unwinnable. I doubt that that's ever actually happened but I think it'd
be possible if a monster that likes magic items ever got polymorphed
into a Kop. Such dismissed monsters will now drop the same stuff as
the shk above prior to leaving the game.
Try to address the problem From a bug report: turning the Wizard
of Yendor to stone preserves monster information with his statue and
presence of that information overrides the statue animation check
intended to prevent players from creating the Wizard (or other unique
monsters). That's ok for the current game--the monster had to have been
in play in order to be turned to stone--but is a problem if the statue
is found in a bones file. The report was for placing such a statue at
the location of an untriggered statue trap by a player who leaves bones,
but stone-to-flesh by the player who loads bones is a simpler way to
trigger this. (Aside from getting unique monsters earlier than usual
under some degree of player control they won't have their starting
inventory so special items like the Candelabrum might not get created.)
Using undead turning to revive corpses found in bones was another way to
get into the same trouble (I thought corpses of special monsters were
already excluded from bones?).
It looks like it's also possible to get strange quest behavior if
a corpse or statue of the leader or nemesis is brought into the dungeon,
left in bones, then revived by the second player, but I didn't attempt
to reproduce it. More work is probably needed; this tightens up leader
handling a bit but doesn't do anything about the nemesis. This patch
has already been spreading tentacles and I've got to cut it off....
The patch discards saved monster traits for corpses and statues of
unique monsters while saving bones; reviving or reanimating them will
produce doppelgangers instead of the original monsters, same as stone-to-
flesh on wished-for statues behaves. It also discards saved traits for
shopkeepers (also temple priests and vault guards--their traits weren't
saved in 3.4.2 though). That info might be useable when the corpse or
statue is on the same level as the monster started (ie, where its special
room is located), but that's a complication I'm going to bypass. This
patch also adds chameleon handling for statue activation--it wouldn't
have mattered in 3.4.2 since shapechangers didn't get their traits saved;
it does matter now but was omitted when trait-saving was extended to all
statues a while back. (It adds chameleon handling to corpse revival too,
but they still don't get their traits saved with corpses so that's just
protection in case of future modifications.)
Other bits: `cant_create()' is renamed to `cant_revive()' since
the latter is a more signicant use than wizard mode <ctrl/G> handling.
Now save traits with nymph corses so that cancellation can be propagated
if they're revived; that doesn't matter much but matches statue handling
(where it was more important since it dealt with succubi as well as with
nymphs). Explicitly initialize the shape-changer field of all monsters
instead of relying on implicit initialization to 0 (CHAM_ORDINARY).
There'll be a *much* shorter patch for 3.4.3 which will have to get
by with most of these obscure problems--fortunately they're unlikely to
impact many (any?) players.
Declare structure before using it in prototypes, and declare atol()
for configurations which don't have or don't use <stdlib.h>. (Some
#ifdef MICRO code for atoi at the end of system.h might need to be done
for atol too.)
This provides the core support needed for status field highlighting.
This patch doesn't actually perform status field highlighting for any port,
but provides the core hooks for doing so.
The syntax is:
OPTIONS=hilite_status:{fieldname}/{threshold}/{below}/{above}
where {fieldname} is the name of a status field.
{threshold} is the value used as the threshold to trigger a display
change. It can also be set to "updown" to trigger
a display change whenever it rises or whenever it falls.
If you end the threshold value with %, then it signifies
that you want to trigger the display change based on the
percentage of maximum.
{below}, {above}
are the color or display attribute that you want to use when
the field value is underneath the threshold. Supported display
fields are: normal, inverse, bold, black, red, green,
brown, blue, magenta, cyan, gray, orange,
bright-green, yellow, bright-blue, bright-magenta,
bright-cyan, or white.
Valid field names are:
alignment, armor-class, carrying-capacity,
charisma, condition, constitution, dexterity,
dungeon-level, experience-level, experience,
gold, HD, hitpoints-max, hitpoints, hunger,
intelligence, power-max, power, score,
strength, time, title, wisdom

<Someone> reported something along the lines of
"You are hit by a little dart."
[ "The dart was poisoned." -- this expected message was missing ]
"The poison doesn't seem to affect you."
Remove the overloading of ``chance for fatal poison'' and ``thrown weapon''
(which reduces that chance, among other things) for the arguments passed to
poisoned() and change how it decides whether feedback about being poisoned
is needed. Also, move poisoned() and poisontell() from mon.c to attrib.c.
It was possible for status_finish to get called twice, therefore free() could end up called twice.
Add a macro symbol for the argument to status_initialize().
Adjust some field widths so that there is a little bit of breathing space.
Introduction of a new set of window port status display
routines. The new routines are conditional on
STATUS_VIA_WINDOWPORT

Groundwork for forthcoming stethoscope fix: add an object list
traveral routine (there must be something like this already, but I
couldn't find it...) and a couple of timer access routines.
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?
An optimization.
Split the patterns into two chains, one for things you want "always picked up", and one for things you want "never picked up". That way, the
entire exception list isn't being checked twice, once for each type of
check. The check for things to "always pick up" only checks the
chain at the AP_GRAB index, and the check for things to "never
pick up" only checks the chain at the AP_LEAVE index.
- Also modifies the toggle autopickup '@' message
appropriately for the AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTIONS build.
(it just tacks on ", with some exceptions" if there are some)
[ Caveat: compiles ok on branch code but only play tested on trunk code;
the do_wear.c diff is a lot different between the two variants and the
trunk one includes some whitespace cleanup. ]
<email deleted> reported that having a spellcasting monster
destroy some armor while you're in the midst of using 'A' to take that
armor off would result in a crash. The problem was actually more
widespread than that: having a nymph steal worn items (accessories as
well as armor), or a succubus remove them, or being interrupted by monster
activity and then reading a scroll of destroy armor prior to resuming 'A'
could all produce a similar crash. 'A' relied on stale context and could
attempt to manipulate an equipment slot which had become empty, ultimately
leading to an attempt to dereference a null pointer.
The 'R' command didn't have this problem since any accessory gets
removed immediately. The 'T' command already had handling for this:
there's only one item to deal with and multi-turn take off only applies
to some of the slots; the donning() check followed by cancel_don() took
care of those. Only 'A' was vulnerable to the problem and it wouldn't
necessarily need to be interrupted and resumed; loss of the current
multi-turn item or any pending item would be enough--but I'm not sure
whether such item loss could occur without also interrupting the current
activity, so resumption of previous 'A' was probably a requirement for
triggering the crash.
This makes shield and shirt handling be similar to other types of
armor instead of relying on the fact that none of them need to have any
attribute adjustments when put on or taken off. However, there are
still assumptions (the `cancelled_don' stuff) that some slots don't have
any eligible items requiring more than a single turn to use; that should
probably be changed.
External names longer than 31 characters trigger a compiler warning
for me about truncation, and that causes make to quit. So shorten the
two long names. Also, call the cleanup routine for the FREE_ALL_MEMORY
configuration.
An enhancement to the original to allow
two types of exceptions:
always pickup
never pickup
To specify "never pickup", begin the pattern string with '>'
which is NetHack's down direction symbol (for "leave it down")
To specify "always pickup", begin the pattern string with '<'
which is NetHack's up direction symbol.
For example, to pick up all arrows, regardless of the pickup_
types setting:
autopickup_exception = "<*arrows"
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.

Allow fairly free roaming of the dungeon via the wizard mode teleport menu.

- store the variety of tin at tin creation time
rather than at tin-opening time (as a negative
value in spe just as homemade was; spinach
is still spe 1)
Allow wishing for a particular variety of tin
from the tin variety list:
"deep fried", "boiled","broiled","candied"
"dried", "french fried", "homemade"
"pickled", "pureed", "rotten", "sauteed"
"smoked", "soup made from", "stir fried",
"szechuan"
Example: "tin of soup made from orc"
non-debug player could randomly fail on the
variety specification 1 in 4 times
This brings things much closer to correct operation (I hope).
- The shift to only moving the cursor on input (<Someone>'s
changes) had a lot of complications, among them was
that sometimes, there is no more input. When the program was
exiting, or bombing the cursor synch never got done, so the
final messages could end up strewn any place the cursor
happened to be dwelling.
- There were two competing output systems in use: the
wintty stuff for the game, and the msmsg and error stuff
used by the sys/share/pcsys, sys/share/pctty, and
sys/share/pcunix routines. Those were meant to mimic
output to stdout, where stuff just got sent to a sequential
display. Over time, there were calls mixed in that depended
on the cursor tracked stuff from the core game, so you
really couldn't be sure where things were going to display.
It wasn't as much of an issue before, because the cursor
really did get moved around as expected. Everything
now ends up in the same output system.
- I even found a use of the real putchar() because
sys/share/pcunix didn't #include wintty.h the same
as the other files, and the macro never got defined.
Who knows where that character was being put -
the game certainly couldn't track it.
While everything I knew to be wrong yesterday is
now working, there may be some other glitches
lurking that I haven't discovered yet.
Please: test, test, test.
There were still some significant startup message problems
with win32tty.
I've spent a lot of time in the debugger tracing through them all.
I think I've got them all worked out now, certainly the ones that
I was aware of. There may be some I haven't discovered.
Testing welcomed of course!
This patch also attempts to diagnose the error where someone tries
to execute NetHack directly out of a zip file, and provide
them with a (hopefully) helpful message similar to what we
might end up telling them if they wrote in. If you want
to test that part, you can comment out the line in the
Makefile that adds "dungeon" to nhdat, and delete the nhdat
in your binary and src directories, and "make install".
Then add the value of your TEMP environment variable as a
DATADIR statement in defaults.nh (here's mine):
DATADIR=C:\DOCUME~1\ALLISO~1\LOCALS~1\Temp
The diagnostic code engages if the game fails to open
dungeon. It then checks to see if it the game dir is the
TEMP directory for your system, and if so it prints the
message.
the win32 cursor restriction stuff messed up any
messages displayed during abnormal start conditions
where the window system never got initialized properly.
among them:
- messages relating to lock files or games in progress
- dungeon errors
- early panic messages
My cvs tree had the correct code. When I did a cvs update
it didn't pull anything down. When I deleted the include/extern.h
file from my cvs tree, and did an update with the "get the clean copy"
switch, it pulled down an extern.h that was indeed missing the
prototype. In all cases my local cvs reported that it was 1.130.
I applied the prototype change to the cvs copy, did a cvs diff
to ensure nothing else was out of sync and re-committed.
Cutting a shopkeeper poly'd as a long worm would generate strange messages
and could result in a crash. cutworm didn't deal with all the intricacies
of duplicating a monster. Fixed by changing cutworm() to use clone_mon()
to do most of its dirty work. It seems to me that without this change,
cutting a tame long worm could also have similar bad effects.
Other side effects of this change:
- clone_mon now takes x,y coordinates, 0,0 results in previous behavior
- clone_mon no longer always makes cloned monsters tame/peaceful if player
caused the clone, using the same formula previously in cutworm. Someone
else may wish to tweak this for gremlins.
- clone_mon will christen the new mon with the old shopkeeper's name, even
though clones are never shopkeepers (game can't handle 2 for a shop)
- cutworm can now be called during conflict or pet combat, although I
added no such calls (yet)
It is not physical damage if:
1. it already qualifies for some other special type of damage
for which a special resistance already exists in the game
including: cold, fire, shock, and acid. Note that fire is
extended to include all forms of burning, even boiling water
since that is already dealt with by fire resistance, and in
most or all cases is caused by fire.
2. it doesn't leave a mark. Marks include destruction of, or
damage to, an internal organ (including the brain),
lacerations, bruises, crushed body parts, bleeding.
Current exceptions to the rule (already existing):
- holy water burning chaotic ("it burns like acid") is physical damage.
- unholy water burning lawful is physical damage.
Another batch of missing Half_physical_damage checks
from the list provided by <Someone>:
- Scrolls of fire (!confused)
- Broken wands
- Splattered burning oil from thrown potion
- Dipping a lit lamp into a potion of oil
- Scrolls of fire (confused, didn't bother with non-confused)
- Being caught in a fireball
Adds a macro Maybe_Half_Phys to assist.

To that end...
- add a context (iflags in 3.4.3 to maintain savefile compat) flag to
differenciate the first travel step from later steps, to allow the
detection of the final sentence, above.
- several changes to set/reset the travel1 flag as needed
- add code to findtravelpath to treat the first step specially if it's
the only step, allowing forced travel into a "bad" location
- correct the "don't travel over traps" code, which was getting confused
because hero's starting location was being avoided
- add code to avoid traveling into water and lava, duplicating
checks used for non-travel running
- fix some strange "guess" travel behavior: avoid zigzag paths when there's
a more direct path (even though the number of moves is the same)
- trunk change adds a new DISP_ALL tmp_at type, and uses it in some debug
code for travel, debug changes not added to the 3.4.3 branch

Allow migrated objects to break on arrival. Added code to obj_delivery to
cause this, along with a flag to keep breakage from occurring. The new
flag isn't used yet, because all the current object migration involve
objects that were moving/dropping. To help make this change, rloco now
returns whether the object was placed or not, so caller can know if an obj
pointer is still valid or not.
Making the breakage messages for MIGR_NEAR_PLAYER objects show up after the
new level is displayed required some effort (rather than while the old level
was still displayed, which was confusing), due to the needs of goto_level.
- obj_delivery now has 2 passes, one for before player arrives, another after,
allowing the two cases to be treated differently
- goto_level calls obj_delivery twice (run_timers is not called twice,
since the run required before the level is displayed will have already run
any timers on migrating object)
- kill_genocided_monsters now kills eggs on the migrating_objs list too

This addresses the Wand of Digging part, but does not
do anything about Drum of Earthquake.
add a new melt_ice_away timer for ice created via zapping
a wand/spell of cold.
Some follow-up adjustments to the length of time before
the ice melts may be necessary. Ideally, I'd like to
have it so that the shorter the length of time since
the ice was created, the lesser the chance that it will
melt out from under you. Likewise, the longer it has
been, the more risky it will be to venture onto it.
At the moment, however, each spot of ice is just
getting a somewhat random time always greater
than 50, which is less than ideal.
Reported a while back, a (stonable) hiding monster will hide at a location
containing only a cockatrice corpse. While it would be interesting to
allow monsters to try, and stone themselves as a result, I chose the
simpler fix which is to not have monsters hide in such situations. I found
the hiding code was duplicated in several places, so I moved it into a new
hideunder() function that works for both the hero and monsters.
