Applying royal jelly listed all of inventory as likely candidates for
what to rub it on, including itself.
Applying it to anything took no time.
After the "you smear royal jelly on <foo>" message,
unsuccessfully applying it to non-eggs gave no other feedback;
successfully applying it to eggs gave no additional feedback.
Allow #rub to use royal jelly too.
Also, require hands to apply or #rub anything.
Not done: fumbling and/or slippery fingers should have a chance to
drop the jelly or to drop whatever gets rubbed with it.
Royal jelly applied on an egg will change a killer bee egg to
a queen bee egg. Cursed jelly will kill the egg, uncursed and blessed
will revive it. Blessed jelly will also make the creature think
you're the parent.
Original patch was by Kenneth Call
Instead of hardcoding the "prize" type and then watching for that
to be created, specify it in the level description.
Also, instead of giving both Sokoban end levels 50:50 chance for
either prize, bias the one that used to always have the bag of
holding to now have 75% chance for that and 25% chance for amulet
of reflection, with the other one having those chances reversed.
So still 50:50 overall.
Also change a bunch of automatic arrays with initializers to static
so that they won't be reinitialized every time their block is entered.
get_table_buc() is changed to support bless/curse specifiers for
"not-cursed", "not-uncursed", and "not-blessed" but they aren't used
yet.
"The 'm' prefix before a movement command can be used" is awkwardly
worded.
"Various ... variations" is redundant all by itself but doubly so
when "various" is used again two sentences later.
mention_decor is missing a sentence between "Normally only shown
when obscured" and then an exception when it is enabled.
Add the new header file to HACKINCL which only matters to HSOURCES
which only matters for the 'tags' target.
'make depend' reordered some stuff that could have stayed as-is but
also found a missing dependency for nhlobj.{c,o}.
Hero shouldn't be able to zap wands when polymorphed into a form which
lacks hands.
The other tweaks to dozap() shouldn't produce any change in behavior.
Somewhat similar to 'mention_walls', 'mention_decor' is a way to
request additional feedback when moving around the map. It reports
furniture or unusual terrain when you step on that. Normally stepping
on furniture only mentions it when it is covered by object(s). And
moving onto (rather than into) water or lava or ice doesn't bother
saying anything at all. With the new option set there will be a
message. It uses Norep so won't repeat when moving from one water
spot to another or one lava spot to another or one ice spot to another
unless there has been at least one intervening message. There is also
a one-shot message when moving from water or lava or ice onto ordinary
terrain (not Norep, just once since there's no land to land message).
Having the verbose flag Off doesn't inhibit these new messages but it
does shorten them: "A fountain." instead of "There is a fountain here."
The Guidebook gets a new subsection "Movement feedback" of the "Rooms
and corridors" section and it covers more than just 'mention_decor'.
As usual, Guidebook.tex is untested.
'mention_decor' persists across save/restore, so 'struct flags' has
changed and EDITLEVEL is being bumped, hence save files are invalided.
recover had deviated somewhat from NetHack in its
file expectations:
1) A couple of 3.7 fields needed to be accommodated.
2) hard-coded file size values had deviated.
The file sizes are now in an added header file named "filesize.h",
which is included at the bottom of config.h.
There will likely be another commit to write the filename size ahead
of the file name so that the precise number of characters can be read,
but since that will break existing saves, it can go in along with another
save-breaking commit.
This commit doesn't not alter savefiles written by nethack so does not
require an editlevel bump. It does alter the read-in expectation in
recover to match the game and this get recover working again.
If level teleport took you somewhere special, things like shop entry
or quest summons or valley atmosphere messages were being given first,
then "you materialize on a different level" after. schedule_goto()
takes before-change-message and after-change-message arguments; it
ought to be extended to have a mid-change-message one too but I didn't
think of that until just now.
Like lava when that looks the same as water with color Off, render ice
in inverse video if it looks the same as the floor of a room. (I tried
bold first but the result didn't look very good.)
Done for tty and curses; others may want to follow suit.
There was a complaint that despite charisma of 13 being above average,
the character was described as "ugly". The cut-off was actually >14
for "beautiful" or "handsome" vs <=14 for "ugly". This adds several
more grades of appearance.
Replace a few tabs, remove a few trailing spaces, and shorten a few
long lines.
Readme still needs another fix: if falsely claims to contain all bug
fixes since 3.6.4. I wasn't sure how to reword that so didn't try.
Also, fix a couple of old typos in Install.vms.
