I moved some stuff around after testing the changes in
58583cacf8 before committing it. It
accidentally ended up with 'gold' always being Null at the first
place it gets used (to vary the feedback when stealing everything
except gold).
Nymphs won't steal gold from the hero (so that their steal-item damage
isn't a superset of lerprechaun's steal-gold damage; straightforward
back when gold wasn't kept in inventory), but hero poly'd into a nymph
would steal gold from monsters.
Fixes#204
3.6.2's attempts to fix turning off SEDUCE in 'sysconf' introduced
an unintentional change in behavior for hero poly'd into nymph form:
theft attack always angered the target. The actual change was
intentional but its ramifications were unexpected.
Fixes#200
The Guidebook claims that there's no symbol for 'S_strange_object'
which is literally true, but there is one for S_strange_obj. It has
been in place longer than the paragraph claiming that there's no way
to customize that symbol. I'm not sure why variant spelling was used.
Also, files.c doesn't use loadsyms[], it calls a routine which returns
a pointer to a specific element in that array.
would describe it as trapped if you could see its location, but if
the trap was unseen that trap would remain unseen, at least in some
circumstances. Mark the trap as seen.
Wizard mode ^E and any mode spell of detect unseen or wand of secret
door detection failed to find mon->mundetected monsters if they were
hiding under objects, and failed to find those or other hiders or
mimics when the hidden monster was at a trap location. The fix for
the latter initially only worked if the trap was known, so took two
tries when a monster hid at the location of an unseen trap. So this
makes the additional change to find both things at the same time; it
isn't manual searching that stops as soon as something is found.
For ^X and final disclosure, report external issues that affect game
play: midnight, other night, new or full moon, and Friday the 13th.
The 'new feature' entry in the fixes file rambles a bit but if it
heads off even one spurious bug report, it'll have been worth it.
When kicking an altar, trigger divine wrath (minor: luck or alignment
loss) before deciding whether hero has hurt himself in the process.
Add some variation to the wrath penalty so that it can't be used to
precisely control Luck.
When mklev() is called multiple times, previous state stored in the
xxstairs_room pointers can be mistakenly used when making decisions about
the new level being constructed. This caused non-deterministic level
creation behavior when replaying from a snapshot.
Fixes#202
When swallowed, you can take things from the engulfer's inventory, if
there are any, via pickup. Items might be worn by the engulfer and
when "picked up" those weren't being unworn before being added to
hero's inventory. Then they would be formatted as "(being worn)" and
could trigger warnings or worse.
Conceptually they should be worn on the outside and not be accessible
from the inside, so I've made attempts to pick up worn items fail
rather than fix up the unwearing.
Using ':' when swallowed to look at the engulfer's inventory describes
that inventory as "contents of <mon>'s stomach". That's weird for any
worn items, but the situation is so rare I haven't made any attempt to
deal with it.
Rescue some old code from bit rot. It may be useful if the shop
side of things ever gets fixed. (Itemized billing reveals container
contents. I'm sure that it's in the bugzilla list but can't find it.)
If a player names an object with a name that ends in '\\', drops
that object on the floor nearby and does a look at nearby objects,
then the game will crash. This is caused by stack corruption when
the decode loop skips over the decode string terminator.
Extend support for highlight rules that specify percentages from HP
and spell power to experience level and experience points. For both
of those, the percentage is based on progress from the start of the
current Xp level to the start of the next Xp level. 100% isn't
possible so is used to enable highlighting a special case: 1 point
shy of next level, most likely to occur after losing a level.
This is something I had in mind a long time ago and then forgot all
about until fiddling with the final disclosure of experience points
recently. It turned out to be trickier than expected because it needs
to check whether Xp should have a status update when it hasn't changed
but Exp has gone up. The latter might hit a percentage threshold that
switches to another highlight rule. Fortunately changes to Exp, at
least that aren't part of level gain or loss (which always trigger
status updating), are all funnelled through a single place (I hope).
