I realized that failed explore-mode authorization on a special-mode
saved game cannot downgrade the game mode further down to a normal game,
because this would dump the player back into a state where she has
completed some part of the game in explore mode but is eligible for the
topten list. This is even more true when the game was formerly a
wizard-mode game. Unforunately, that was the state my previous commits
left the game in.
Instead, if restoring an explore-mode or wizard-mode savegame, and the
player is authorized via sysconf for neither of those modes, fail
restoration entirely and start a new game instead. That's sort of
clunky and there could probably be more explanation provided, but it
should be an exceedingly rare occurance and I'm not sure what
alternative exists that would still honor the EXPLORERS and WIZARDS
restrictions. This shouldn't affect the way they default 'down a mode'
in other circumstances, i.e. the overwhelming majority of situations in
which EXPLORERS authorization is needed/checked.
For the same reason, I realized that the player can't be prompted
whether or not to enter explore mode, if being downgraded from a
no-longer-authorized wizmode save while explore mode is authorized. The
change from wizard mode to explore mode must be mandatory. I have also
switched that up so that it will force the change -- unfortunately, this
has the side effect of allowing the preservation of the save, but it's
more important to make sure a wizard mode game doesn't get reverted to
normal mode. They won't be able to load the save into wizard mode
anyway.
If an unauthorized player requests the game launch in wizard mode, it
will try to put her in explore mode instead. If this happened during
restoration of a previous (normal) saved game, the setting of discover
in wd_message() would bypass iflags.deferred_X, allowing the player to
select to keep the non-explore-mode save file. [Actually, when I tested
it I always got an error when answering yes to the "keep the save file?"
prompt, but that's a problem too...] Because deferred_X was still 1
after this, the pline "You are already in explore mode" would also be
printed following the prompt (when moveloop_preamble() attempted to set
explore mode).
Fix this so that loading a normal game with -D, then failing the
authorization, boots into explore mode via iflags.deferred_X and the
"really enter explore mode?" prompt, as it would have if -X were
specified on the command line to begin with.
The sysconf EXPLORERS list restricting access to explore mode was being
evaluated and used when a player used the #exploremode command in-game,
or when specifying -X or OPTIONS=playmode:explore on the command line
when resuming a normal game, but not when starting an entirely new game.
When SYSCF is avilable, check for authorization early, similar to debug
mode authorization, to restrict access to explore mode to EXPLORERS
under (hopefully) all circumstances.
Now that CHECK_PLNAME is a sysconf option, it can be possible to
authorize wizard mode even if get_unix_pw() fails to return the user's
login name, so I think the call to check_user_string() should go out
either way in case that's what's happening.
When calling panic() or impossible(), create the option
of opening a browser window with most of the fields
already populated. Code for MacOS and linux is included;
other ports are affected by argument change to early_init
which are done but not tested.
To enable, define CRASHREPORT in config.h and set
CRASHREPORTURL in sysconf to (for the moment at least)
http[s]://www.nethack.org/common/contactcr.html
Adds --grep-defined option to makedefs for Makefiles.
Adds "bid" (binary identifier), an MD4 of the main nethack
binary. This is ONLY for helping (in the future) contact.html
to set the "NetHack from" field automatically for our own
binaries. This can be faked, but the user can lie so nothing
lost. There's nothing magic about MD4; other ports can use
anything that prodcues a long apparently random string we can
match against.
- new option --bidshow for us to get the MD4 of a
released binary so I can add it to the website.
Only available in wizard mode and not in nethack.6.
- typo macos -> macosx in hints file
No support for packaging builds as I'm not sure what that
would look like.
Adds a javascript helper for MacOS.
Adds a lua helper for linux (and builds and installs
nhlua).
rename display_gamewindows() to init_sound_and_display_gamewindows()
(I know that's getting pretty long-named).
move activate_chosen_soundlib() into init_sound_and_display_gamewindows()
from moveloop_preamble().
Also included was a missing break in a switch related to sounds.
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

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() */
A new feature, enabled by default to maximize testing, but one which can
be disabled by commenting it out in config.h
With this, some additional information is added to the glyphmap entries
in a new optional substructure called u with these fields:
ucolor RGB color for use with truecolor terminals/platforms.
A ucolor value of zero means "not set." The actual
rgb value of 0 has the 0x1000000 bit set.
u256coloridx 256 color index value for use with 256 color
terminals, the closest color match to ucolor.
utf8str Custom representation via utf-8 string (can be null).
There is a new symset included in the symbols file, called enhanced1.
Some initial code has been added to parse individual
OPTIONS=glyph:glyphid/R-G-B entries in the config file.
The glyphid can, in theory, either be an individual glyph (G_* glyphid)
for a single glyph, or it can be an existing symbol S_ value
(monster, object, or cmap symbol) to store the custom representation for
all the glyphs that match that symbol.
Examples:
OPTIONS=glyph:G_fountain/U+03A8/0-150-255
(Your platform/terminal font needs to be able to include/display the
character, of course.)
The NetHack core code does parsing and storing the customized
entries, and adding them to the glyphmap data structure.
Any window port can utilize the additional information in the glyphinfo
that is passed to them, once code is added to do so.
Also, consolidate some symbol-related code into symbols.c, and remove it from
files.c and options.c
move out-of-date hints files to the outdated folder.
rename the hints files, and hints/include files that are currently
named *.2020 to *.370 (next release number).
