add MALE, FEMALE, and gender-neutral names for individual monster species
to the mons array. The gender-neutral name (NEUTRAL) is mandatory, the
MALE and FEMALE versions are not.
replace code uses of the mname field of permonst with one of the three
potentially-available gender-specific names.
consolidate some separate mons entries that differed only by species into a
single mons entry (caveman, cavewoman and priest,priestess etc.)
consolidate several "* lord" and "* queen/* king" monst entries into
their single species, and allow both genders on some where it makes some
sense (there is probably more work and cleanup to come out of this at some
point, and the chosen gender-neutral name variations are not cast in stone
if someone has better suggestions).
related function or macro additions:
pmname(pm, gender) to get the gender variation of the permonst name. It
guards against monsters that haven't got anything except NEUTRAL naming
and falls back to the NEUTRAL version if FEMALE and MALE versions are
missing.
Ugender to obtain the current hero gender.
Mgender(mtmp) to obtain the gender of a monster
While the code can safely refer directly to pmnames[NEUTRAL] safely in the
code because it always exists, the other two (pmnames[MALE] and
pmnames[FEMALE] may not exist so use:
pmname(ptr, gidx)
where -ptr is a permonst *
-gidx is an index into the pmnames array field of the
permonst struct
pmname() checks for a valid index and checks for null-pointers for
pmnames[MALE] and pmnames[FEMALE], and will fall back to pmnames[NEUTRAL] if
the pointer requested if the requested variation is unavailable, or if the
gidx is out-of-range.
Allow code to specify makemon flags to request female or male (via MM_MALE
and MM_FEMALE flags respectively)to makedefs, since the species alone doesn't
distinguish male/female anymore. Specifying MM_MALE or MM_FEMALE won't
override the pm M2_MALE and M2_FEMALE flags on a mons[] entry.
male and female tiles have been added to win/share/monsters.txt.
The majority are duplicated placeholders except for those that were
separate mons entries before. Perhaps someone will contribute artwork in the
future to make the male and female variations visually distinguishable.
tilemapping via has the MALE tile indexes in the glyph2tile[]
array produced at build time. If a window port has information that the
FEMALE tile is required, it just has to increment the index returned
from the glyph2tile[] array by 1.
statues already preserved gender of the monster through STATUE_FEMALE
and STATUE_MALE, so ensure that pmnames takes that into consideration.
I expect some refinement will be required after broad play-testing puts it to
the test.
consolidate caveman,cavewoman and priest,priestess monst.c entries etc
This commit will require a bump of editlevel in patchlevel.h because it alters
the index numbers of the monsters due to the consolidation of some. Those
index numbers are saved in some other structures, even though the mons[] array
itself is not part of the savefile.
Window Port Interface Change
Also add a parameter to print_glyph to convey additional information beyond
the glyph to the window ports. Every single window port was calling back to
mapglyph for the information anyway, so just included it in the interface and
produce the information right in the display core.
The mapglyph() function uses will be eliminated, although there are still some
in the code yet to be dealt with.
win32, tty, x11, Qt, msdos window ports have all had adjustments done to
utilize the new parameter instead of calling mapglyph, but some of those
window ports have not been thoroughly tested since the changes.
Interface change additional info:
print_glyph(window, x, y, glyph, bkglyph, *glyphmod)
-- Print the glyph at (x,y) on the given window. Glyphs are
integers at the interface, mapped to whatever the window-
port wants (symbol, font, color, attributes, ...there's
a 1-1 map between glyphs and distinct things on the map).
-- bkglyph is a background glyph for potential use by some
graphical or tiled environments to allow the depiction
to fall against a background consistent with the grid
around x,y. If bkglyph is NO_GLYPH, then the parameter
should be ignored (do nothing with it).
-- glyphmod provides extended information about the glyph
that window ports can use to enhance the display in
various ways.
unsigned int glyphmod[NUM_GLYPHMOD]
where:
glyphmod[GM_TTYCHAR] is the text characters associated
with the original NetHack display.
glyphmod[GM_FLAGS] are the special flags that denote
additional information that window
ports can use.
glyphmod[GM_COLOR] is the text character
color associated with the original
NetHack display.
Support for including the glyphmod info in the display glyph buffer
alongside the glyph itself was added and is the default operation.
That can be turned off by defining UNBUFFERED_GLYPHMOD at compile time.
With UNBUFFERED_GLYPHMOD operation, a call will be placed to map_glyphmod()
immediately prior to every print_glyph() call.
When a zombie (or lich) kills a monster in melee without a weapon,
the monster can rise few turns later as a zombie.
The only creatures that can be zombified are ones that actually have
a zombie counterpart monster. A zombie cannot turn a jackal into
a zombie, for instance. But it could turn a shopkeeper into a human
zombie, or a dwarf king into a dwarf zombie.
Zombies will fight with monsters that can be turned into zombies.
Originally this was a SliceHack feature, but this is based on xNetHack
version of it, with some modifications.
In a rare case, a random room's width can be 2 tiles, and if
that room was converted into a temple, the priest ended up
inside the wall. Try to put the priest on a random valid position
around the altar, or on it.
Introduce eight achievements that can be attained by more players.
Entered Gnomish Mines - self explanatory
Entered Mine Town - the town portion, not just the level
Entered a shop - any tended shop on any level
Entered a temple - likewise for temple
Consulted the Oracle - bought at least one major or minor oracle
Read a Discworld Novel - read at least one passage
Entered Sokoban - like mines
Entered the Big Room - not always possible since not always present
The novel and bigroom ones aren't always achieveable since novels are
only guaranteed if a book or scroll shop gets created and bigroom is
only guaranteed in wizard mode. No one ever claimed that every
possible achievement can be attained in a single game. (If one for
entering the Fort Ludios level--or perhaps entering the Fort itself--
eventually gets add, that won't be possible in every game either.)
The mine town one probably needs some tweaking. Two of the town's
seven variants have no town boundary (despite a rectangular area of
pre-defined map) and at present simply arriving on either of those
levels is enough to be credited with the entered-town achievement.
Bump EDITLEVEL because u.uachieved[] has increased in size. This
time it has been expanded to the maximum that xlogfile's bitmask of
achievements can handle, enough for up to 9 more achievements without
another EDITLEVEL increment.
Move enlightenment and conduct from cmd.c to insight.c. Also move
vanquished monsters plus genocided and/or extinct monsters from end.c
to there. And move the one-line stethoscope/probing feedback for
self and for monsters from priest.c to there.
Achievement feedback has been overhauled a bit. When no achievements
have been recorded, the header for them (after conducts) won't be
shown, and when at least one has been recorded, make the prompt for
asking whether to disclose conduct be about disclosing conduct and
achievements. Also, describe achievements in the Guidebook.
I ran out of gas before updating Guidebook.tex; it will catch up to
Guidebook.mn eventually.
Some of the MS-DOS Makefiles haven't been updated yet so linking
without insight.{o,obj} will break there.
Give 'novel' a 1 in 1000 chance of being created in place of each
random spellbook (except for hero's initial inventory and NPC
priests' monster inventory and divine reward for prayer--those all
force regular spellbooks; statue contents aren't among the
exceptions--those books can now be novels). Shop inventory (where
first book or scroll shop created is guaranteed one novel) hasn't
been touched. If there is any other special spellbook handling
somewhere, I've overlooked it.
Files modified:
include/extern.h
src/pline.c, priest.c, potion.c, mkobj.c
A bunch of calls to pline() in pline.c started triggering warnings
either as-is or possibly after the changes to tradstdc.h. Fixing
them in place would include intrusive VA_PASSx() like in lev_main.c.
Moving them to other files is much simpler (and they didn't
particularly belong in pline.c in the first place, although I didn't
actually find any better place for them....).
The probing/stethoscope feedback went to priest.c, where there's a
comment stating that it should move to wherever englightenment ends
up once that is moved out of its completely inappropriate current
home in cmd.c. (Holdover from when ^X was wizard-mode only but even
the other wizard mode commands don't really belong with the command
processing code.)
setmangry() and wakeup() were being used for multiple purposes. Add an
extra parameter to track which. This fixes several minor bugs (e.g.
whether monsters with no eyes were angered by (useless) gaze attacks
against them previously depended on the state of a UI option, and
the Minetown guards would be annoyed if you used a cursed scroll of
tame monster on a shopkeeper). It's also a prerequisite for the
Elbereth changes I'm working on.
Somewhere along the line I started removing redundant parentheses from
return statements, but only in files that needed continuation fixups
so it's not comprehensive.
I'll push a formatting guide at some point. There may still be
outstanding changes, but please feel free to resolve those as you arrive
a them.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no changes to the actual code
content, but the formatter does have the occasional bug. If you run into
an issue, please fix it!
Instead of just "while helpless", the death reason will tell
more explicitly why the player was helpless. For example:
"while frozen by a monster's gaze"
1) add graves to the dungeon features being tracked;
2) report on known bones (determined by seeing map spot(s) where previous
hero(es) died since there's no guarantee of graves or ghosts);
3) add automatic annotations for oracle, sokoban, bigroom, rogue level,
Ft.Ludios, castle, valley, and Moloch's sanctum. For bigroom and rogue
level you just need to visit that level, for the others you need to get
far enough along to learn something specific (oracle: her room, sokoban:
annotation is either "solved" or "unsolved" depending upon whether all
the holes and pits have been filled, fort and castle: see the drawbridge,
valley and sanctum: see inside the tended temple). Discovering the
relevant locations via magic mapping counts as "far enough along".
There should probably also be automatic annotations for Medusa and the
vibrating square but I'm not sure what criteria should be used for the
former or what phrasing to use for the latter. Demon lord/prince lairs fall
into similar category as Medusa.
TODO: add final #overview as an end of game disclosure option. (I was
planning this even before I saw that nitrohack has implemented it....)
Pat noted that I neglected to drop the SCCS lines on the files I've been
committing, so clean up those and any others I could find where the SCCS
line date is out of date.
Prevent remote ID of the three high priests on the Astral Plane via
wand of probing or via their own actions (observing "high priest of Foo
drinks a potion of speed" and so forth). When not immediately adjacent,
you'll get "the high priestess" instead of "the high priestess of Foo".
From a bug report: shopkeeper
wouldn't move to block his doorway if there was a grave at that location.
Nothing supernatural; shopkeeper and temple priest movement was too
specific about what sort of terrain might be present and didn't know that
room floor might be replaced by a grave.
Newsgroup posts mention "boulder forts" from time to time, where the
player surrounds the hero with boulders in order to prevent the majority
of monsters from being able to attack. Since the hero can shoot or throw
or zap over/around/through boulders, monsters ought to be able to do so
too. This makes the test for whether a monster is lined up properly for
its ranged attacks try harder when the original line-of-sight check fails.
If there aren't any terrain obstacles found, it allows a chance to attack
based on the number of locations in the path that contain any boulders.
Giants and any monster carrying a boulder-destroying wand of striking get
to ignore boulders, overriding the random chance.
The devteam feedback was to place casts in the code
in question.
This puts explicit casts on some code that was being
compiled into 'int64' then stuffed into smaller types with
VC2005.
The user (<email deleted>) who recently suggested a
dump command for containers also wanted atmospheric sounds on levels which
have altars. Right now we'd have to find unattended altars the hard way
(by scanning the entire level) but we could add a counter (or set of
counters, one per alignment) like for fountains and sinks if we really
wanted to do that. [Now that I think about it, the #overview patch may
have already done something of the sort.] But what noises would an altar
be expected to produce? This only adds sounds for temples, where the
attending priest can be the source of the noise.
I'm not real thrilled with the initial set of sounds, particularly
the hallucinating one, but the implementation works. The "carcass" one is
a little clumsy; it's intended to add a hint for new players who haven't
figured out what the #offer command does.
Fix the problem From a bug report, where
giving a temple donation of the appropriate amount would fail to restore
protection previously stolen by gremlin attack iff the old protection amount
was big enough that the donation wouldn't have yielded a bonus in the normal
not-stolen case. It shouldn't be checking the magnitude of u.ublessed at a
time when lack of the intrinsic renders that value inoperative. After this
fix, the lost intrinsic will be granted and the old protection value will
be restored, same as happens when a prayer boon yields divine protection
(where no u.ublessed magnitude check is made) and as happened with donations
when the old protection was a more modest amount (magnitude test passed).
This fixes the monnam() family of functions so that hallucinated
personal names, such as Barney, won't be prefixed by "the". It uses the
same hack as is used for shopkeeper names: single character prefix on
names which warrant some handling other than the default. rndmonnam()
strips that off, so unmodified callers (which is almost all of them...)
retain the same behavior has before.
There are several capitalized names that I have no idea whether need
to be treated as personal names:
Evil Iggy - name, or type of monster named after someone?
Totoro - no clue
Invid - ditto
Vorlon - just guessing that it's a species rather than an individual.
I couldn't remember whether Godzilla was baby Godzilla's mother or father,
so I went with female there. So far, no callers of rndmonnam() care about
gender so it doesn't make any difference. Because of that, I didn't look
though the non-capitalized names to see whether any should be all male or
all female and need one of the other prefix codes.
I've added "were-rabbit" from the Wallace & Gromit movie. The recent
ads for its DVD release reminded me that I was going to add that back when
the movie first came out. I haven't seen it but the creature name fits.
I also fixed Smokey Bear. Smokey the Bear is a common misspelling;
I thought we had fixed that ages ago, back when people still had some clue
as to who in the world he was.
