After modifications to amnesia, `deja vu' messages are now displayed
upon entering a level containing bones of a previous character of the
current player. This test is done simply by checking for a ghost on the
level that shares a name with the current character.
However, since ghosts generated in other circumstances (such as in the
Valley of the Dead and other special levels) can have names pulled
randomly from the high score list, etc, this message can be displayed on
non-bones levels where a ghost has been generated with the character's
name. Additionally, when a bones pile doesn't include a ghost (such as
when the character in question was slimed, killed by a wraith, etc), the
`deja vu' message will not be displayed when it should be. This is all
described in in NetHack/NetHack#322.
This commit changes the method of testing for `familiarity' by adding a
function to iterate through any bones data for the current level,
searching for a match to the hero's name.
Should fixNetHack/NetHack#322.
A recent fixes entry reported things incorrectly. The invocation
failure message inappropriately referring to the Bell and Candelabrum
as artifacts was given when reading the Book after both of those have
been used to set things up and either or both of them are cursed, not
when they weren't used before the Book.
Starting out replacing ambiguous pronoun "it" since it might seem
to be referring to "--More--" rather than to "...", then ended up
rewriting whole paragraph.
Fixes#369.
Fixes#370.
The default entries inserted by makedefs -s (starting in 3.6.6,
to guard against having an empty data file which led to divide by
zero crash when nethack picked a random entry) lacked a terminating
newline so the first entry from the file (for the usual case when
that data file wasn't empty) got implicitly concatenated to it.
If the first entry got chosen during play, the initial portion
corresponding to the default entry was decrypted properly but the
concatenated portion corresponding to file's first line didn't.
So gibberish was appended to default engraving or epitaph or bogus
monster; also, the input file's first line would never appear.
The newline fix in makedefs is different from pull request #370
but accomplishes the same thing.
The bulk of the patch is an enhancement to #wizrumorcheck to show
first (default inserted by makedefs), second (first in input file)
and last engravings, epitaphs, and bogusmons in addition to rumors.
The command name has become a little misleading but the limited
functionality doesn't call for separate commands.
Also remove redundant prototype of has_color in wintty.h now that
it is in extern.h.
has_color() became an actual function when an array of color capabilities
got added to the windowport interface a while back (it checks that array).
Fix two of the unresolved issues from the previous reconciliation
between dat/history and doc/Guidebook.*: synchronize the list of
devteam members for 3.0 and also the information about Izchak's
death.
Add a description of the Y2K situation. It's been moved to its
own paragraph and rephrased from the earlier draft(s), both the
introduction and a switch from present to past tense. Parentheses
around a whole paragraph look a bit odd but including the paragraph
without them also looks unusual because the context is so different
from adjacent paragraphs. Maybe use "Note: Blah blah..." instead
of "(Blah blah...)"?
Redo the paragraph about 3.0 version numbering since the situation
was more complex than I realized.
|alloc.c:159:1: warning: no previous prototype for function 'dupstr'
after adding -Wmissing-prototypes to my CFLAGS (plus MONITOR_HEAP
defined in config.h).
I don't why I never noticed this before. It wasn't triggered by any
recent changes.
A check into github issue 364 confirmed that
ba6edbe5dc
had incorrectly updated the bwrite sizeof entry for sysflags.
The SYSFLAGS and MFLOPPY code is all in the outdated part of the tree, so just
remove it rather than re-correct it.
Closes#364Closes#207
Rephrase a few things and mention the extra boulder(s) since
that feature is a fundamental difference with actual Sokoban.
Fix typo/thinko: "Others rules can...".
Change one instance of /Sokoban/ in italics to ordinary text.
Other conduct descriptions don't use such so it looked odd.
Noticed when checking the sokoban conduct's counter. Breaking
a line of boulders in one zap reported seeing the first but only
hearing the others, despite the first one being gone by the time
the second one was hit and so on down the line for the rest.
Track sokoban cheating (taking actions that incur a luck penalty).
The pull request only reported the number of times (possibly zero)
that the player broke nethack's sokoban rules when reporting the
"you obtained the Sokoban prize" achievement, which is when the
count is most meaningful, but this implements it as a full-fledged
conduct instead. This way the #conduct command can be used after
"creative nethacking" to check immediately whether an action has
violated the Sokoban rules so a player willing to put in a bit of
effort can eventually learn which actions have a negative impact.
The new conduct is only shown during games where the character has
entered the Sokoban branch, but once that has happened it gets shown
no matter the location at the time of #conduct or end of game.
Most of this wasn't in the pull request: expanding the Guidebook to
give more information about sokoban and its conduct.
Bump EDITLEVEL to invalidate to-be-3.7 save files because u.uconduct
has been extended.
Fixes#355
The new sound stuff needed some fixing up.
Guidebook.mn - list start no longer specified the longest key;
in the Postscript/PDF output, the new longer one was partially
overwritten by the text which followed and in the text output,
things didn't line up cleanly anymore.
Guidebook.tex - former last list entry which became next-to-last
was missing a necessary line break. [not tested]
both - sentence punctuation: change period to semi-colon in former
last entry that's now next-to-last; vice versa in new last entry.
fixes#361
Also, experminental introduction of vt_sounddata to enable tty to pass
a sound file index to the terminal side of things where perhaps someone
can add code to something like hterm to take the information relayed by
NetHack to trigger user_sounds locally even if playing on a server.
Compile time option TTY_SOUND_ESCCODES required to build that support in.
It should be independent of TTY_TILE_ESCCODES.
Add the "if these walls could talk" gag. Use an array of message
strings rather than switch/cases of pline calls, and add a couple
more messages.
Also, only give wall feedback if the map indicates a wall (so not
while blind unless the wall is already known) and prevent chat from
pinpointing secret doors (via lack of wall feedback when they're
shown as walls).
After writing the log message for the bell change, I decided to
test the Book and found some issues:
1) reading it while blind discovered the book's type but wasn't
marking the book object as if it had become seen (dknown);
2) reading it while blind gave sighted feedback if it was cursed;
3) reading (blind or not) when either of the other two invocation
tools are cursed referred to those as "artifacts" even though
they aren't artifacts; the discoveries list describes them as
"unique items" but that makes for a clumsy message--use "relics"
instead.
Allow a hero in silver-hating form to ring the Bell of Opening when
on the vibrating square so be able to perform the invocation ritual.
But only at that location and only if the stairs aren't there yet.
This is about on par with being able to read the Book of the Dead
while blind although that isn't limited to a specific location.
The report about problems after stone-to-flesh on a petrified
long worm included stethoscope feedback of 0(-1) hit points, after
life-draining. I was unable to reproduce a maximum hp of -1 and hope
that it was a side-effect of the [already fixed] stale mon->wormno
value used when resurrecting the long worm. Anyway, this changes
life-draining to never take mon->hpmax below mon->m_lev + 1 (the +1
is needed to cope with m_lev==0 monsters). The same limit is also
applied to monster life-saving but more to avoid replicating the
arbitrary minimum of 10 (four instances) then because it might be
less than m_lev+1 somehow.
Sanity checking now tests whether a monster's max HP is less than
its level + 1 so if there are ways other than life-drain attacks for
it to drop that low, the fuzzer will choke. The new check also tests
whether a monster's current HP is greater than max HP.
Polymophred hero killing a golem or vortex by vampire bite reported
"<Mon> dies." Give an alternate message since those aren't alive.
Eliminate most of the minor differences between dat/history and the
end section of doc/Guidebook.txt which didn't seem to be intentional.
Several commas, a couple of past/present tense discrepancies, and
various clauses or whole sentences which were in one but not the
other. There are still differences which this doesn't address.
Also a couple of actual changes. Make the Guidebook refer to itself
as "this document" rather than "this paper". Change "dozens of
people's work" to "scores of people's work". Add a new sentence
describing the version numbering scheme used by 3.0, which wasn't
3.0.x yet.
Adopt the contribution to use "you can't read the words" when
trying to read a novel when blind rather than defaulting to
spellbooks' "you can't read the mystic runes." An unseen novel
is already described as "a book" instead of "a spellbook" so the
alternate feedback doesn't give away any information.
Warwick did the heavy lifting of the first tiles implementation. But
I was the one who suggested changing his terminology to "tiles" even
though that doesn't match the term's traditional usage in computer
graphics. Since then, our [mis-]usage has spread beyond nethack and
its variants. [This isn't just bragging; I recall several years ago
that someone thought our implementation of tiles for MS-DOS was the
original implementation. Their search of the newsgroup archives didn't
find Warwick's original announcement--Atari binaries and/or a source
patch in between releases--because the term "tiles" wasn't in use yet.]
I'm not sure whether Dean's font preceded Warwick's icons, but the
concept did. If the description of their implemenations is backwards
than that bit should be reworded.
Also, add a sentence explaining why NetHack++ "was quickly renamed
NetHack--".
