Instead of using a compile-time macro to suppress inclusion of the
menu entry to show UNIX command-line usage in the help menu, use a
sysconf setting instead.
Default is HIDEUSAGE=0, to include the entry for command-line usage.
Set HIDEUSAGE=1 to exclude that. Does not affect 'nethack --usage'
if player actually has access to the command-line.
Requested by k21971 (hardfought admin): classify the gameover event
as something other than achievement so that live-logging can exclude
it in order to use the xlogfile end-of-game entry instead.
It had been classified as an achievement because that was the only
category being treated as 'major' so written to final dumplog. Give
is a new classification 'dump' which is distinct from achievement
and intended to explicitly request that an event go into dumplog.
The gameover event is the only one in that category, at least for now.
Add a bunch of other classifications besides achievement and dump to
be treated as 'major' for dumplog. The new list is
wish, achieve, umonst (death of unique monster), divinegift,
lifesave (via amulet, not explore-/wizard-mode decline to die),
artifact, genocide, dump
and may still need further tuning. Currently excluded are
conduct (first violation of any conduct), killedpet, alignment
(changed, either via helmet or conversion), minorac (minor
achievement such as level gain or entering the mines), and spoiler
(currently only applies to finding Mines' End luckstone which is
also 'achieve' so will be in dumplog).
This doesn't remove the reference to unimplemented LLC_TURNS that is
mentioned in the template sysconf.
Closes#688
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.
Pull request #330 would add "ec2" ("ec2-user" after dash and whatever
follows has been stripped off) to GENERICUSERS for Amazon Linux. Now
that dashes-in-username handling has been fixed, that doesn't need to
be obscure and the full user name can be included instead.
I also added a commented out entry for PORTABLE_DEVICE_PATHS to the
default sysconf, then cloned that for Windows' sysconf.template.
Fixes#330
A few symbol-related modifications:
- fulfill a request from a blind player to allow them to
specify a unique/recognizable character for all pets and/or
the player in the config file for use when using a screen
reader (S_player_override, S_pet_override). Requires sysconf
setting ACCESSIBILITY to be set to have an effect, although
they can still be specified in the config file.
- Config file SYMBOLS entries were not working properly on
the rogue level. Allow ROGUESYMBOLS as well as SYMBOLS to be
specified in the config file independently.
- When values are moved into showsyms[], the overriding SYMBOLS
or ROGUESYMBOLS entry from the config file is used if there is
one; if there is no overriding value for a particular symbol,
the loaded symset value is used; if there is no symset entry
loaded for the symbol then a default symbol is used.
Reduce the chance of a player playing on a public server encountering
their own bones, by implementing separate bones pools. The pool a player
belongs to is determined at game start, and only bones in that pool
are used. The sysconf BONES_POOLS allows the sysadmin to define how
many pools there are.
Setting CHECK_PLNAME to 1 makes WIZARDS, EXPLORERS, and SHELLERS
check the player name instead of the user's login name.
This is mostly useful for public servers which have external
login system and don't create user accounts for players.
This is important for public servers. Setting the MAXPLAYERS
sysconf value to 0 (or commenting it out) constructs the lock
files with the player UID and player name, so each player may
have one game at a time.
SYSCF is enabled by default, but nethack won't run without the required
sysconf file. sys/vms/install.com expects to find a template one in
sys/vms/sysconf so create that.
Since the tarball will need repackaging, fix a comment typo (dyslexic
spelling of "nymph") in sys/unix/sysconf. Also, move DEBUGFILES to the
bottom so that more useful entries move up. And expand the comment for
the PANICTRACE options.
Add missing 'sysconf' to sys/unix/ and sys/winnt/ sections of Files.
Update sys/unix/sysconf; I started out just to remove the duplicate
DEBUGFILES entry but ended up expanding several of the comments too.
Also, fix a typo in the vms build/install instructions.
Move debugging output into couple preprocessor defines, which
are no-op without DEBUG. To show debugging output from a
certain source files, use sysconf:
DEBUGFILES=dungeon.c questpgr.c
Also fix couple debug lines which did not compile.
This also includes fixes due to Derek Ray to depugpline to work better
on other platforms.
(This covers some thing that Pat found and some things I found while working
on those.)
Unscramble duplicate use of GREPPATH and GDBPATH symbols.
Add some more info to config.h.
Make missing SYSCF_FILE a fatal error.
Make a parse error in SYSCF_FILE a fatal error.
Rename PANICTRACE_GLIBC (et al) to PANICTRACE_LIBC (et al) since FreeBSD
and Mac OS X (at least) also implement the needed API.
Allow SYSCF_FILE to be unreadable by the user (for setgid installs).
If SYSCF, do NOT fall back to the compiled in WIZARD account.
Put WIZARD into sysopt and remove special cases in authorize_wizard_mode().
add SYSCF docs to the Guidebook because it's info needed in a binary distro
Guidebook.tex - also add some missing italics to some "NetHack" occurances
call nethack.org "official"
Guidebook.txt - didn't regenerate cleanly so no diff
add SEDUCE to SYSCF (only partly inspired by the recent email)
On crash signal or panic(), use a configurable method to get a stacktrace
the user can easily report to us. Currently only for Unix/Linux and only
ifdef BETA. Hopefully ports can add additional methods.
Bits:
- linux hints file had PREFIX definition in the wrong place
- sample sysconf file used wrong delimiter for WIZARDS
- fix grammar error in support message when using sysconf.wizards
- options.c comment typo
- capitalize "Crash test" output from #panic command
PORTS: Please make sure I've done the right thing for/to your code.
This patch adds a new winproc that lets the window port approve or cancel
the suspend request - this should take care of the Mac Qt lockup issue.
In addition, Unix suspend is restricted to accounts that can use the shell
if SYSCF is defined.
Add sys/unix/sysconf, a sample sysconf file.
Move defines from topten.c to config.h so they can be seen globally.
Add persmax, pers_is_uid, entrymax, and pointsmin to struct sysopt, use
in topten.c, populate in files.c
Warning cleanup in files.c.
BUGFIX: don't crash in unixmain.c if WIZARDS left unspecified.
hints/macosx10.5: don't hardcode "keni"; install sample sysconf; install
sample ~/nethackrc
makedefs: add "system configuration" to compiled-with options list.
BUGFIX: if a game doesn't meet the criteria for making the record file it's
shown to the user as having zero points because t1->points is set to zero
to indicate that it doesn't get written back; display u.urexp instead.
