Reading a scroll while blind is permitted if you know its label, but
message is "as you pronounce the words, the scroll vanishes" unless
you are poly'd into a form which can't make sounds, in which case you
"cogitate" rather than "pronouce". Switch to the cogitate variant if
you are suffering from strangulation.
Casting spells didn't even have the distinction; you could cast them
without regard to speech capability. Check for that. Unlike with
scrolls, now you can't cast if you can't speak (or grunt or bark or
whatever) instead of having a variant description of the action, so
this is a bigger change.
Rearrange the tests for edibility of non-food so that touching an
artifact won't happen unless the object could be eaten.
Add a bit of bulletproofing for rust monsters trying to eat a
rustproofed item and spitting it out. Wishing for rustproof iron
ring, cursing it, wearing it, and attempting to eat it as a rust
monster would remove the rustproofing and spit it onto the floor,
ignoring the cursed state as far as taking it off goes. That was
an issue in 3.4.3 and probably in 3.6.0, but in current code the
'rustproof' part of the wish would be ignored for an item which
isn't subject to erosion damage, so hero-as-rust monster will
successfully eat the ring instead of spitting it out.
X11 supports both ascii map and tiled map and is able to switch back
and forth during play. 'O' shows both of them as boolean options, but
toggling ascii_map did nothing since tiled_map retained whatever value
it had at the time. For core options handling, make toggling either
ascii_map or tiled_map also set the other one to the opposite value,
so ascii on forces tiled off and vice versa.
Fix several warnings about using 'void *' for a function pointer and
a couple of unused variables. Add a_nfunc for 'int NDECL((*func))'
alternative for union anything. Make the enum list of union anything
types actually match the alternatives (field a_uchar was missing from
enums, enum mask32 had no corresponding a_mask32 field).
Add another command, #therecmdmenu, so that the context menu for an
adjacent spot can be tested without mouse support. It revealed that
you could get an empty menu if nothing applicable was at target spot.
Add a few adjacent actions: lock/unlock door if carrying suitable
implement, search door for traps, examine known trap (door/ceiling,
not door), #untrap known trap, mount saddled critter, remove saddle.
Make "kick door" be the last choice for closed door instead of first.
Add one 'here' action: dismount.
Both #herecmdmenu and #therecmdmenu interact strangely with ^A, but
differently from each other. I didn't make any attempt to solve this.
There's no documentation for #therecmdmenu.
Add a new boolean option herecmd_menu. If this is on, and using
a windowport that supports mouse, clicking on your character pops
up a menu of actions doable in that location. Basically this is
nothing new, as almost all of the same actions were done before
on the mouse click.
You can also pop up the context menu with the #herecmdmenu
extended command
Expand "You bump into it." into something more comprehensive when
encountering an unseen monster while hurtling. Tested with jumping
but other forms of hurtling should behave the same.
Accidentally caused by my grappling hook fix 2 months ago, attempting
to jump over water made hero enter that water and drown (or crawl out).
hurtle_step() was originally intended to be used for recoil while
levitating, but it is used in other situations where not levitating
and behavior for the two circumstances should be different.
This doesn't fix things properly, just gets jumping working again.
It was possible to arbitrarily boost strength (up to its race-specific
limit) by wearing a ring of sustain ability, becoming weak from hunger
(but not actually losing strength due to Fixed_abil), removing the ring,
eating enough to stop being Weak, then repeat as desired. I think you
could substitute polymorph for wearing ring, and rehumanize for removing
ring and get similar results, although that would be more tedious.
My first attempt to fix this was a lot more complicated. This one puts
the temporary strength loss in ATEMP(A_STR) where it carries over from
normal form to polymophed form and back. Fixed_abil doesn't prevent the
loss any more, nor its recovery.
One side-effect of the change is that the possibility of dying when
becoming weak from hunger (if Str gets down to 3, further attempts to
lower it take away HP instead of Str) no longer exists. Using ATEMP()
instead of directly manipulating ABASE() means that current strength is
less but underlying base strength does not actually drop any more.
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.
Originally by Ray Chason for 3.4.3, based on the Qt windowport by
Warwick Allison. The look and feel is mostly the same.
Some improvements over the Qt 3 interface are:
* Panes are resizable
* Full support for IBMgraphics, and walls and corridors are drawn with
graphical primitives for a continuous appearance no matter what the font
says
* Lots of irritating glitches fixed
* Menus support proportional fonts correctly
Adding this because the old Qt windowport cannot be compiled on Qt4,
even with Qt3 compatibility stuff.
TODO:
- background map glyphs
- status hilites
- menucolors
Always find traps when using the rogue's quest Key to lock or unlock a
trapped door or chest provided that the Key is not cursed (for rogues)
or is blessed (for non-rogues). When a trap is found, the player is
given the opportunity to disarm it, and doing so will always succeed.
(It isn't disarmed automatically; the player may prefer to leave traps
in place, presumably hoping to set up a dangerous bones file. Or he
or she may be unaware of the guaranteed success and be too timid to
risk trying to disarm the trap.)
TODO: make #untrap of a door or chest while carrying that Key always
find traps (with same bless/curse requirements as above). And maybe
change its #invoke property from untrap to detect unseen/secret door
detection since current invoke power would become redundant.
Also, move a bunch of new artifact abilities from the fixes section to
the new features section in fixes36.1.
If the key is wielded and touching skin (that is, you're not
wearing gloves), it will give heat-related messages like
minesweeper, counting the undetected traps around player.
My tty+X11 binary was letting me see and modify status highlights under
X11 even though they don't do anything. Options parsing has to accept
them since we don't know which interface will be chosen, but interactive
option handling does know and shouldn't show inappropriate options.
initoptions_finish() should probably we validating all the wc and wc2
options, but I only added a check for trying to enable statushilites
when they're unavailable.
Give sensible feedback for obsolete options if options.c is modified
to #undef BACKWARD_COMPAT. Affects boulder, DECgraphics, IBMgraphics,
and MACgraphics.
When hitting a monster with the Cleaver, you swing it in an
arc, possibly hitting the monsters to the left and right of
the targeted monster.

I've sometimes seen
, and basic NetHack features.
as the last line of the features section from '#version'. I thought
it was due to the way feature phrases were split into individual words
by makedefs, but it turned out to be due to inserting pattern matching
method at run-time. That dynamic options update had a second problem:
if the final phrase "and basic NetHack features" was split across two
lines, the run-time substitution didn't find it and the pattern matching
entry ended up being left out. This fixes both problems, but if future
dynamic entries become more complex, the phrase-splitting/word-wrapping
being done by makedefs may need to be moved into nethack.
Also, add entries for XLOGFILE and PANICLOG to makedefs' options and
re-order a couple of existing ones alphabetically (a failry hopeless
endeavor).
When built without STATUS_HILITES, don't treat highlighting options as
if they were unknown. This may need some tweaking; the feedback feels
a bit intrusive so perhaps 'statushilites' and 'hilite_status' should
just be ignored when not available.
'hitpointbar' now relies on wc2 handling instead of being conditionally
present.
The call to hmon() in flooreffects() was passing a boolean where int
is expected. The 'thrown' argument may have once been a boolean, but
it is 'int' for as far back as the repository history goes.
Adjust the Candelabrum of Invocation's weight when it has candles
attached. This has been a known issue ever since the candelabrum and
candles were introduced.
When the candelabrum burns out, update persistent inventory window to
show that it no longer has candles.
thitu() is mostly used for arrows and darts "thrown" by traps, but
scatter() uses it on items launched by a land mine explosion. Traps
had no need for potion handling, but scattering does. Changing thitu()
to call potionhit() required that more information be passed to the
latter in case killer reason was needed, and thitu()'s callers needed
to be updated since it now might use up its missile (only when that's
a potion, so scatter() is only caller which actually needed to care).
Quite a bit of work--especially the testing--for something which will
never be noticed in actual play. In hindsight, it would have been
much simpler just to make scatter destroy all potions rather than
allow the 1% chance of remaining intact (via obj_resists()), or else
leave any intact ones at the explosion spot instead of launching them.
Turning the boolean option force_invmenu makes all the commands
that ask for an inventory item pop up a menu instead of asking
a text query. This should be much more friendlier to new
players, and is very useful for window ports on systems
with touch screens and no physical keyboard, such as cell phones.
Reported directly to devteam, player threw a troll corpse into lava and
then later got messages about it reviving and burning to death. Items
thrown, kicked, or dropped into lava were being subjected to fire damage
(so scrolls burned up, potions boiled, non-fireproofed flammable weapons
and armor eroded), but corpses and a lot of other stuff not subject to
erosion remained unaffected. This makes things that are made out of
wood, cloth, flesh and other flammable stuff burn up (when in lava, not
when hit by fire).
The countdown for delayed vomiting gave message "you suddenly vomit!"
at T-2, allowing you to move some more, then vomit at T-0 with no
message, finally at T+2 get "you can move again", making it seem as
if the program was letting you move during a time it thought that you
couldn't move. Also, there was nothing "sudden" about it since it was
near the end of a 15 or so turn sequence where a few other messages
are given leading up to that.
Change it to
T-2: You are about to vomit. // different wording
T-0: You vomit! // new message
so that "you can move again" more clearly refers to the actual event.
It was once pointed out that
static long nulls[ sizeof (struct trap) + sizeof (struct fruit) ];
should have been
static long nulls[ max(sizeof (struct trap), sizeof (struct fruit)) ];
which is right, but using an array of longs to represent a null trap or
null fruit doesn't handle pointers properly so replace 'nulls' with
separate structs. This doesn't recover the previously wasted memory
(fairly trivial since these structs are small) but does guarantee that
null pointers in the relevant structs always have a valid value instead
of just all bits zero.
While doing some cleanup I found an old personal bug list with four
entries. Two have already been fixed, or at least I couldn't reproduce
them with current code, one is still pending (dungeon overview feedback
is inconsistent if you find an unlit temple and haven't seen its altar
yet), plus this one: a buffer overflow (triggering a crash for me) in
wizard mode if you turn on the 'extmenu' option and start an extended
command. The menu can't handle long line width for 'w' with all its
wizthis and wizthat entries; strcat() goes out of bounds writing into
a local array.
(This bug predates the keybinding patch that turned all commands into
extended commands.)
