Make a change suggested by <Someone> to have the Wizard
enter harassment mode when you perform the invocation, in case
you manage to obtain the Book of the Dead without killing him.
Instead of just initiating that periodic effect, behave as if
you have actually killed him (which also affects random monster
generation frequency, prayer timeout, and shopkeeper salutations).
The comment about Book of the Dead's taming effect working
on nearby monsters when read while swallowed was wrong. It was
only put there in the first place to avoid adding extra code to
suppress taming while swallowed when that was done for the other
methods of taming. Any need for extra code here turns out to be
unnecessary due to the cansee() check.
If you get interrupted while reading a spellbook and then
the book gets destroyed or you change levels, the object pointer
remembered for the book will be invalid and could accidentally
match one subsequently allocated to some other book. That would
result in "you continue your efforts to memorize the spell" when
starting to read that other book; it would also end up bypassing
the reading difficulty check and reuse the old book's delay counter.
I don't remember who reported this. It was quite some time
ago and I have an abandoned patch dated last March from when I
first started to fix it.
Files patched:
include/extern.h
src/save.c, shk.c, spell.c
This adds <Someone>'s lens patch.
This is probably it for me adding in any more user-contributed patches for
3.3.2 (except maybe coin flipping; does anyone object to it?)
