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
NetHack 3.7 stores timestamp information, as well as github
commit hashs information if available, internally by compiling
date.c. It is important to ensure that date.c is always
recompiled after any other NetHack source files are compiled.
If the one provided in the zip/distribution is newer, replace
the one used by the game after renaming the current one to
symbols.save.
If the one used by the game is newer, do nothing with it.
The mingw-w64 version on the CI platform is older and
is missing a sought copy of winres.h.
This attempts to work around that by having the Makefile
create a temporary copy of winres.h in the win/win32 directory
which that windres.exe is already search in. The file is
then immediately removed after windres uses it.
The contents of the temporary winres.h match the contents
of that file that is distributed with the more up-to-date msys2
distribution of mingw-w64.
It won't be known if this workaround solves all the CI issues
with the mingw build until after it is committed and observed.
