Fixup some of the inconsistently formatted code that has been
introduced recently or been building up for a while. Done manually.
I wasn't systematic except for looking for lines ending in '&' or '|'
(which wouldn't find such things if they're followed by a comment)
so there might be lots more. I changed a bunch of C++-style //...
comments to old style C /*...*/ so that they'll match the rest of
the core's code rather than because they shouldn't be used.
Prior to this commit, there was no good way to deal with swarms of
weak, good-AC enemies using magic; trying to play a wizard as a
pure spellcaster would make bees and ants very difficult to deal
with (because they would usually dodge force bolts).
This commit adds a new spell designed to be very good against
swarms of weak enemies: "chain lightning", which does 2d6 lightning
damage to every monster around you. It has an initially short range,
but can chain from monster to monster to cover potentially large
distances (as long as none of the monsters en route are shock
resistant or tame/peaceful; the spell can't chain past shock
resistant monsters and avoids peacefuls). Monsters within one
space of the visible lightning bolts are affected. Unlike other
lightning effects, this one does only 2d6 damage, not enough to
blind affected monsters.
This commit breaks existing save and bones files (thus the
EDITLEVEL increase).
Wizards now start out recognising all level 1 spellbooks, making
it possible to write a low-level spellbook in order to start
training a spell skill of choice.
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
Discussed a long time ago, change helm of brilliance from iron to
crystal so that it doesn't need to be a special case for metallic
armor's affect on spell casting. It now has a fixed description of
"crystal helmet" but is not pre-discovered.
Add new helm of caution to retain the "etched helmet" description
among the shuffled helms. Wearing it confers the Warning attribute.
That's fairly lame but not necessarily useless. It's iron and gets
half the former probability for a random piece of armor being helm
of brilliance so is not likely to be popular.
Helm of caution keeps the old helm of brilliance tile and new helm
of brilliance is basically the same image with different color and
pointed on the top.
Not changed: the etched helmet was marked as green and is drawn
that way for text but the tile doesn't actually use green for it.
Crystal helmet started as hi_glass (rendered as 'bright cyan') but
has been changed to clr_white to match crystal plate mail.
Old save and bones files are invalidated.
I was working on this at the time 3.6.0 was released and set it aside
until later. Later has finally arrived. Redo the Blind, Blinded,
Blindfolded,&c macros to make more complete use of intrinsic property
handling. Blinded was being treated as a number which could be added
to or subtracted from; now that has to be done via TIMEOUT mask
because it has FROMOUTSIDE (OPTIONS:blind) and FROMFORM (poly'd into
!haseyes() form) bits included. Object definitions for blindfold and
towel now specify the BLINDED property; overriding blindness via the
Eyes of the Overworld is accomplished via props[BLINDED].blocked.
Code generated for the scores of Blind and !Blind tests throughout
the program should be smaller.
One bug that has been fixed is that putting on the Eyes of the
Overworld cured permanent blindness (from OPTIONS:blind). The
u.uroleplay.blind flag was cleared and stayed so after taking them
off. Putting the Eyes on still breaks blind-from-birth conduct but
now blindness will resume when they are removed.
This was untested at the time it was set aside and is only lightly
tested now. A large number of the changes here are just to switch
from Blinded to BlindedTimeout for current timed value and to call
set_itimeout() for setting a new value.
Insert the calls to trigger a number of potential soundeffects
into the core.
If no additional soundlib support is integrated into the
build, then the Soundeffect macro (sndprocs.h) expands to nothing:
[#define Soundeffect(seid, vol)
]
If, however, at least one additional soundlib support is integrated
into the build, then the Soundeffect macro gets defined as this
in sndprocs.h:
[#define Soundeffect(seid, vol) \
do { \
if (!Deaf && soundprocs.sound_soundeffect \
&& ((soundprocs.sndcap & SNDCAP_SOUNDEFFECTS) != 0)) \
(*soundprocs.sound_soundeffect)(emptystr, (seid), (vol)); \
} while(0)
]
That macro definition checks for the hero not being Deaf; it checks
to ensure that the active soundlib interface has a non-null
sound_soundeffect() function pointer; and it checks to ensure
that the active soundlib interface has declared that it supports
soundeffects by setting the SNDCAP_SOUNDEFFECTS bit in its sndcap
entry. That just means that the interface routines are prepared to
accept and deal with the calls from the core, whether or not it
actually produces the desired soundeffect.
The code tested u.uswallow and then accessed u.ustuck. Under normal
circumstances that works fine but it could be a problem if the two
fields got out of synch. This ought to fix the analyzer complaint
and avoid any trouble with mondata access.
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() */
Since losestr and losehp calls go together most of the time, this feels
like it probably makes more sense than repeating the killer name/format
twice in a row all over the place.
Remove callers' responsibility to deal with possible hero death when
calling losestr. This is less fragile and error-prone than leaving it
in the caller's hands, but it means that death from the monster spell
'weaken target' no longer goes through done_in_by, and the death reason
is no longer "killed by <monster name>".
Wizard-mode command to cast any spell without checks that would
prevent casting, and with no energy use.
Mainly to allow the fuzzer to exercise the spell code paths.
Change trappers and lurkers above to remove digestion damage. They
fold themselves around rather than swallow the victim. There were
are lot of places that assumed that an engulfer which is an animal
would swallow and digest the victim. In hindsight, it might have
been simpler to take the M1_ANIMAL flag off of trappers and lurkers
above.
This adds a new digests() predicate for creatures with AT_ENGL+AD_DGST
(purple worm) and also enfolds() for AT_ENGL+AD_WRAP (both 't'-class
critters).
There are several minor fixes mixed in with this. I didn't record
them as I went along but the two I remember are
1) if poly'd into a holder and holding on to a monster, the '<' and
'>' commands refursed to work; release the held creature first
and then treat those commands as normal;
2) throwing a non-weapon while engulfed by an ochre jelly reported
"the <item> vanishes into the ochre jelly's /currents/".
This needs a lot more testing. I found and fixed multiple minor
details before my own testing burned out.
This replaces the old pushq/saveq arrays (which were used to save
the keys pressed by the user for repeating a previous command)
with a new command queue. This means there's no hard-coded limit
to the saved keys, and it can repeat extended commands which are
not bound to any key.
(user-side decisions really, but as it stands right now
user-side decisions/options are made and processed by the core)
add a parameter to add_menu so color can be passed
trycall() is a short docall() wrapper that is a no-op if the item is
already identified or the player has called the object type already. For
some reason, many calls to docall() did those same exact checks
beforehand.
This commit eliminates that redundancy by converting those calls into
trycall(), which is now made extern rather than local to do.c. No
behavior should be changed by this commit; I've checked that none of the
affected places could take a different code path now that the
oc_name_known and oc_uname checks are removed.
Remove the conduct-specific aspect of receiving spells as prayer boon.
Anyone now has a 25% chance of having the spell directly implanted
into their head, not just characters who have maintained illiterate
conduct. It can now also restore a forgotten spell or refresh one
that is nearly forgotten. It still tries to choose a spell which
isn't already known (new: or was known but has been forgotten) but if
it picks one that is known and doesn't need refreshing, a redundant
book will be given, same as the behavior in earlier versions.
The chance for receiving a blank spellbook is higher when that item
is undiscovered. When given as a prayer reward, make it become
discovered even if hero doesn't read it so that it will be less likely
to be given again. There's a 1% chance for that auto-discovery to
happen with other bestowed books. Unlike blank boots, having the book
be discovered doesn't lessen their chance of being repeat gifts.
Minor bug fix: for a spell implanted from scratch, the book remains
unknown. That's ok; it's actually more interesting than discovering
a book you haven't seen yet. But after acquiring and reading the book
you could get "you know <spell> quite well already" and the book would
stay undiscovered even though you were just told what spell it's for.
Ensure the first spell - if any - given to the hero in initial
inventory is level 1 - otherwise you can end up with a situation
where the hero knows level 3 spells, but won't have enough power
to cast them.
If the hero starts out with a spell, ensure enough power (5)
to cast that level 1 spell.
Log game events, such as entering a new dungeon level, breaking
a conduct, or killing a unique monster, in a new "Major events"
chronicle. The entries record the turn when the event happened.
The log can be viewed with #chronicle -command, and the entries
also show up in the end-of-game dump, if that is available.
This feature is on by default, but can be disabled by
defining NO_CHRONICLE compile-time option.
This also contains "live logging", writing the events as they
happen into a single livelog-file. This is mostly useful for
public servers. The livelog is off by default, and must be
compiled in with LIVELOG, and then turned on in sysconf.
Mostly this a version of livelogging from the Hardfought server,
with some changes.
If you want to declare a pointer which the address pointed to is constant,
you should declare it as like `static const char *const var = "...";`.
This commit supplies missing `const` and prevents some programming
error in the future.
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.
If attempting to cast a spell without having enough power, you get
|You don't have enough energy to cast that spell.
Recently that was augmented to
|You don't have enough energy to cast that spell yet.
if your current power is at maximum and not enough. Augment again to
|You don't have enough energy to cast that spell anymore.
if current power is at maximum and that maximum is less than the peak
value it once had and that peak value would have been enough.
If the hero is at full energy but still lacks enough to cast a chosen
spell, say "you don't have enough energy yet" instead of just "you
don't have enough energy."
Revisit a 3.6.1 fix. When the hero is occupied reading a spellbook
and something causes it to become cursed without interrupting (post-
Wizard harassment's malignant aura), always stop reading instead of
just when the book's bknown flag is already set.

at self when blind. Spell targetting would let player pick
hero's own spot but casting would reject it when blind because
hero didn't sense any monster there. The player wanted to cast
skilled fireball at self to cure being turned into slime but
wasn't allowed. (Targetting an adjacent spot would work for
fireball, but is only feasible when telepathy reveals a monster
there.)
While testing the one-line fix, I noticed that the message line
(tty) showed stale data (autodescribe info for target spot) as
the fireball I cast (when not blind) bounced around the vicinity.
Normally that's cleared when a message is issued or the when the
next command is requested, but skilled fireball causes multiple
explosion animations before either of those situations.
