After casting a spell, a monster got a chance to make a regular attack
despite the apparent attempt to set up a return value indicating that
it wouldn't move.
When looking over the return value situation, I noticed 'wormhitu()'
for the first time. It gives worms additional attacks when the hero
is adjacent to some of the tail, that only works if the head is within
reach of a melee attack. The hidden tail segment at head's location
always met that criterium so gave an extra attack that didn't make
sense; change wormhitu() to skip that segment.
Do some formatting in mcastu.c; no change in actual code there.

I think the previous expression would allow moving (via swapping
places) from a pool to solid rock or closed door which was not what
was intended (but moot since there aren't any pools on the Astral
level). This revised expression does what is intended: can only
swap to a pool location if already located in/over (the Riders fly?
they should probably be non-breathing) another pool.
Don't let Riders swap places with something (fog or ooze, perhaps)
located at a closed door spot because if it gets killed there, there
won't be any corpse and it will stop auto-reviving.
Just avoid moving to spots where mondied() won't place a corpse
instead of worrying about whether a bargethrough creature (if there
ever are any besides the Riders) might be able to survive at the
destination (so ignore pass-walls, door-opening, swimming, &c).
With 3.7+ aspirations of improving savefile interoperability between 32-bit
and 64-bit builds, as well as between platforms, it is better to not have
the underlying struct/array content be conditional.
This splits off some of the MAIL code into MAIL_STRUCTURES code. In theory,
since MAIL_STRUCTURES is unconditionally included, the macro could
just go away and leave that code unconditional, but this commit doesn't
go that far.
Preserve temporary fake object's previous dknown value by storing it
as a flag value within the m_ap_type field of the posing monster, and
recalling it when it is needed.
This is intended to help eliminate observable differences in price display
between real objects and mimics posing as objects.
98% of this is just switching the code to utilize macro M_AP_TYPE(mon)
everywhere to ensure that the flag bits are stripped off when needed.
'Detect' is used for observing a vampire shape change without being
able to see the vampire. The problem here is that it changed from
bat form to fog cloud form in order to pass under a closed door,
and the message was being delivered when it was already at the door
location instead of before the move from a visible spot to that door.
I'm not happy with this fix, but any other alternative I considered
seemed to be worse. Having the shape change use up the monster's
move is probably a better way to go. Then on its next move it will
be in the right form to make a normal flow-under-door move.
Seven year old suggestion was to have a killer bee eat royal jelly if
there was no queen around, then after a short delay it would become a
queen. This does that, with "no queen around" being "no queen bee on
current dungeon level" and the transformation happening immediately
with the "short delay" taking place after.
Pet killer bees will target nearby royal jelly if there's no queen,
hostile killer bees will only eat it if they happen to walk on the
same spot as one. Both types accept either tame or hostile queen bee
as an existing queen.
Killer bees eating royal jelly will drop dead if queen bees have been
genocided, and aren't smart enough to avoid the instinct to eat such
if/when that happens to be the situation.
struct rm.flags in overloaded for a bunch of rm.typ -dependent things
(doormask, altarmask, throne/fountain/sink looted, a few others) and
wasn't being reset for various cases where rm.typ gets changed.
I've changed a lot, some no doubt unnecessarily, and probably missed
plenty. This compiles but has not been thoroughly tested.
After consultation with the original committer, this
is being pulled out, possibly revisited later. There was
originally meant to be a follow-up piece to this that he
never had a chance to integrate for various reasons.
Remove trailing spaces, and remove tabs from the files that had
trailing spaces.
Also, rndorcname() was using a random value to terminate a loop
and was recalculating a new one each iteration.
Iron bars can be destroyed in some circumstances (hit by yellow
dragon breath or thrown potion of acid, being eaten by rust monser
or black pudding, or by poly'd hero in those forms) and should act
like walls for diggable/non-diggable purposes. But they aren't
walls, so the non-diggable flag was not being set for them by the
special level loader. Even once that was changed, they weren't
being handled consistently. Some places checked for non-diggable
directly (zap_over_floor of acid breath, potion of acid hitting bars)
and started working as intended, others used may_dig() to check
non-diggable (poly'd hero attempting to eat iron bars) but it doesn't
handle iron bars, and still others didn't check at all (bars-eating
monster who moved onto bars location in expectation of eating those
next).
The original report complained that gremlins seemed impervious to
Sunsword's light yet a flash from a camera caused them to cry out in pain
despite "The long sword named Sunsword begins to shine brilliantly!"
This commit does two things:
1. A dmg bonus is applied against gremlins using a lit Sunsword.
2. Gremlins will generally avoid the light emitted by Sunsword.
There's a few minor flavor bits thrown in also.
It is understood that this effectively makes Sunsword provide
"gremlin-proofing", but the gremlin myth and Sunsword's characteristic
feature pretty much demand it.
bug 42
This started as some formatting cleanup but I've added a couple of
additional terrain features which can act as web support (stairs up
and ladder up).
The message "<Spider> spins a web" was given if you could detect or
sense <spider> rather than see it. I've changed that to only happen
if you see the new web appear rather than the critter spinning it
(it only becomes an unseen trap if you don't watch it appear).
After spinning a web, a spider can't spin another one until 4d4 moves
have elapsed. That seems suitable when the spider can be seen but
isn't really adequate throttling when the spider is far away--it can
end up spinning a lot of webs by the time you get to its vicinity.
Perhaps it shouldn't be able to spin a new web if there is already
one with N steps of its location?
My change to unify the pet and monster digging weapon choosing
made monsters not actually wield the chosen weapon, even though
they could still dig as if they did. Pets behaved properly.
Also add an explicit check for IS_STWALL so they won't keep
switching away from their current weapon until needed.
Reported about 18 months ago: standing on a scroll of scare monster
while next to a shopkeeper who was blocking the shop entrance because
hero was carrying unpaid shop goods would yield "<shk> turns to flee"
but <shk> wouldn't move. This was a side-effect of making standing
on scrolls of scare monster be stronger than on "Elbereth" when the
latter was nerfed. Make shopkeepers inside their own shops and temple
priests inside their own temples be immune to the effect of hero
standing on scare monster.
Also, make the Wizard, lawful minions, Angels of any alignment, the
Riders, and shopkeepers and priests in their own special rooms (ie,
all creatures that now ignore standing on scare monster) be immune to
the fright effect of tooled horns. Innate magic resistance usually
prevented them from being scared anyway, but make it explicit.
Reading a scroll of scare monster or casting the spell of cause fear
still rely on innate resistance to avoid chasing away those monsters.
I'm not sure whether they should have the same adjustment.
Self-genocide (own role or race) while polymorphed sets u.uhp to -1
so that you'll be killed during rehumanization. I found a couple
of places which were testing (u.uhp < 1) without checking polymorph
state, and one of those was where monster movement decides whether or
not to attack. This bug seems to have been present since start of
the second cvs repository, so has been around for quite a long time
without anybody letting on that they'd noticed. So it probably isn't
a very effective exploit, although it would certainly make ascending
without wearing armor become much more feasible.
There are bound to be other places which examine u.uhp directly
instead of '(Upolyd ? u.mh : u.uhp)' but I only checked m*.c.
Make #untrap while carrying the non-cursed (for rogues) or blessed
(for non-rogues) Key work the same as #invoke has been doing (without
regard to its bless/curse state): when used on trapped door or chest,
that trap will always be found and disarming it will always succeed.
It should work when carried by monsters too: if they try to open a
trapped door while carrying the Key (must be blessed since they're
not rogues) the trap will be automatically disarmed. (Caveat: that
hasn't been adequately tested.)
TODO (maybe...): change the #invoke property to detect unseen/secret
door detection instead of #untrap. The latter isn't completely
redundant; it works when the Key is cursed. But quest artifacts
strongly resist becoming cursed so that isn't a particularly useful
distinction.
Also, trap hints when wielding the Key without gloves didn't notice
adjacent door and chest traps. Now it does. And the behavior is
slightly different: known traps covered by objects or monsters are
treated like unknown traps as far as the hot/cold hints go.
If a vampire, possibly in bat form, on the far side of a closed door
shifted shape to fog cloud in order to pass under the door, you were
told about the shape change if you could see it after being placed at
the door's location even if you couldn't see the vampire's pre-move
location. This is a bug introduced after 3.6.0....
Noticed while composing a reply to the #H5547 report about named
vampire shape-shift message. The message when a vampire (possibly
in vampire bat form) turned into a fog cloud in order to pass under
a closed door was using a stale cached mon->data value when choosing
the verb. So normal fog cloud or vampire already in fog cloud shape
would "flow" under the door, but newly shifted fog cloud would "ooze"
under the door. I saw this while testing the previous patch but its
significance didn't register at the time.
Report was about "Pet vampire" but the relevant aspect was that the
vampire had been assigned a name, not that it was tame:
You observe a Hilda where a Hilda was.
Investigating this has uncovered two other bugs, one potentially
serious. m_monnam() overrides hallucination but seems to be getting
used to some situations where hallucination should be honored (several
instances). Dynamically constructed format strings are including
monster or object names in the format (rather than the usual use as
arguments), so player assigned names containing percent signs could
cause havoc (a few instances). This fixes some of the former and one
of the latter, but doesn't deal with various other cases revealed by
grep.
If you attack a monster under Elbereth protection, and it wasn't
scuffed by the attack itself, then it'll be automatically removed
with an alignment penalty. It no longer fades from scaring monsters;
only from being abused to attack monsters while protected.
Flying monsters that want to pick up items tend to get stuck above
kelp fronds, particularly on the Medusa level. They're allowed to
move to the water location, but can't reach an underwater item so
end up doing nothing.
While looking at #H4265 ("Bug - Monsters opening doors" about
feedback naming the unseen monster who opened a door), I didn't
find the the problem. But I did notice a couple of suspicious
constructs. Fix an assignment that gave a boolean variable a
value of 16, and add parentheses around 'a & b' in (a & b && c).
The latter isn't incorrect, it just looks strange.
