20000922 Water should flow into pits from broken WoD, or DoE.
This addresses the Wand of Digging part, but does not
do anything about Drum of Earthquake.
add a new melt_ice_away timer for ice created via zapping
a wand/spell of cold.
Some follow-up adjustments to the length of time before
the ice melts may be necessary. Ideally, I'd like to
have it so that the shorter the length of time since
the ice was created, the lesser the chance that it will
melt out from under you. Likewise, the longer it has
been, the more risky it will be to venture onto it.
At the moment, however, each spot of ice is just
getting a somewhat random time always greater
than 50, which is less than ideal.
Reported a while back, a (stonable) hiding monster will hide at a location
containing only a cockatrice corpse. While it would be interesting to
allow monsters to try, and stone themselves as a result, I chose the
simpler fix which is to not have monsters hide in such situations. I found
the hiding code was duplicated in several places, so I moved it into a new
hideunder() function that works for both the hero and monsters.
There was a great deal of inconsistency in
different menus on how headings were displayed.
This allows the user to select what they like best.
I was motivated to do this, because I wasn't satisfied
with the appearance of ATR_INVERSE in the menus
on win32tty, and several of them specified it.

This seemed like a reasonable request. This patch:
- adds the core support required.
- adds the tty supporting routines.
Prompted by a question from Pat a long time back, this change finally allows
tiles or text map mode to be chosen dynamically at runtime (using the
"tiled_map" option) rather than having to pick it via an X resource and
keep your selection until you exit. This brings map mode selection up to a
level similar to most other graphical window ports.
In addition, the map mode automatically switches to text on the Rogue
level, also like other graphical window ports.
The default mode for the X11 binary is now tiles, once again, like most (all?)
other graphical window ports.
The patch also removes some dead X11 code that is unlikely to be useful again.
Change the code involved to use a new #define for the field, like other
overloaded uses of corpsenm. Also remove one check for this field from
potion.c: there are no blessed potions from sinks.
Introduce a new set of functions to manage delayed killers in the trunk, used
in addressing the various reports of delayed killer confusion. Since existing
delayed killers are related to player properties, the delayed killers are
keyed by uprop indexes. I did this to avoid adding yet another set of
similar identifiers.
- the new delayed_killer() is used for stoning, sliming, sickness, and
delayed self-genocide while polymorphed. Some other timed events don't
use it (and didn't use the old delayed_killer variable) because they
use a fixed message when the timeout occurs.
- A new data structure, struct kinfo, is used to track both delayed and
immediate killers. This encapsulates all the info involved with
identifying a killer. The structure contains a buffer, which subsumes the
old killer_buf and several other buffers that didn't/couldn't use killer_buf.
- the killer list is saved and restored as part of the game state.
- the special case of usick_cause was removed and a delayed killer list
entry is now used in its place
- common code dealing with (un)sliming is moved to a new make_slimed function
- attempted to update all make dependencies for new end.c -> lev.h
dependency, sorry if I messed any up
+ Separate the two uses of flags.soundok.
+ Player-settable option is now called "acoustics".
+ Deafness is now handled as a full-fledged attribute.
+ Check for deafness in You_hear(), rather than caller.
+ Check for deafness in caller, rather than verbalize(),
because gods can speak to characters in spite of deafness.
+ Since changes are being made to prop.h, reorder it to the
same order as youprop.h and enlightenment.
There are still some extraneous checks and missing checks
for deafness, which will be followed up in a future patch.
Because of the size of this patch and its savefile incompatibilities,
it is only being applied to the trunk code. Portions of this patch
were written by Michael Allison.
This change adds a new flaming() macro and uses it in several places
where the list of flaming monsters was tested. on_fire() didn't list
salamanders as already being on fire, but should have. A couple other
cases were not updated to include flaming sphere.
Nethack's manes are based on AD&D manes which are in turn based on the
manes of Roman legend. They are supposed to be spirits of the dead.
To that end, added them to the nonliving() macro. The biggest behavioral
change is that death spells no longer effect them, which does technically
make them a bit tougher but also makes sense. Also, they're so wimpy, it's
hard to believe anyone would use a death/disintegration on them anyway.

This patch:
- collects all context/tracking related fields from flags
into a new structure called "context."
It also adds the following to the new structure:
- stethoscope turn support
- victual support
- tin support
This is an initial round of SAFERHANGUP hangup changes. It introduces
SAFERHANGUP, provides the core framework, and enables it for UNIX.
Window-port changes are provided for win/tty, win/X11 and win/gnome. Qt
changes should be forthcoming after having Warwick look at them.
window.doc is updated so windowport maintainers have an clue what needs to
be done to support SAFERHANGUP.
This patch introduces a change to yname() and Yname2() that avoids the
possessive "your" for the hero's normal, fully identified artifacts.
Quest artifacts still get the possessive, as do all other objects and all
objects not in the hero's possession. shk_your()/Shk_Your() are used in
many places with a specific, generalized name for the object, so I didn't
introduce the artifact behavior there, although I did change them to append
a space, which simplified some other code. Through added use of yname(),
there may be some places that used to just say "corpse" that will now be more
descriptive via yname()'s use of cxname(). I'm sure <Someone> will point
out any such places that are too onerous, although nothing obviously is.
I took the opportunity to inspect many uses of "your" and even Your(). Two
new functions are also introduced, yobjnam() and Yobjnam2(), which work
like aobjnam() and yname() combined, because I found that many uses of
aobjnam() were preceeded by "your" and I couldn't generally provide the
desired behavior for artifacts (or future artifacts) without a combined
function. In some cases, this change allowed better sharing of code.
rust_dmg() still takes a string as input which is sometimes initialized
from xname() and often prepends "your" to it. Currently, this isn't a
problem since there currently are no normal, armor artifacts. If/when any
are introduced, rust_dmg() will need to be addressed.
The patch is for the trunk only. A lot of research was required and I
didn't feel the upside was there for repeating it in the 3.4.3 branch.

[confirmed: moveloop -> deferred_goto -> goto_level ->
losedogs -> mon_arrive -> rloc -> impossible]
This patch:
- causes rloc() to return TRUE if successful,
or FALSE if it wasn't.
- adds code to mon_arrive() in dog.c to deal with
the failed rloc()
- allows the x,y parameters to mkcorpstat() to
be 0,0 in order to trigger random placement of the
corpse on the level
- if you define DEBUG_MIGRATING_MONS when you build cmd.c
then you'll have a debug-mode command #migratemons to
store the number of random monsters that you specify
on the migrating monsters chain.

Bones loading was only checking to see if a
monster was marked extinct, it wasn't adding
up the born count of a species in the current
game with the number of that species on the
bones level being loaded. That made it possible
to exceed the correct number of nazgul and
erinys via bones.
This adds a common routine called propagate()
that makemon() and restmonchn(ghostly) share,
for incrementing the born count and checking for
extinction, etc.
When a bones level is loaded, restmonchn()
will flag an illegal monster (duplicated unique,
or too many of a species) by setting the
individual monster's mhpmax to the cookie
value DEFUNCT_MONSTER. Before getbones() finishes
loading the bones level, it will purge those
monsters from the chain.
This old conditional was targeted for Apple compilers in a Unix
environment (probably A/UX, which hasn't been sold in over 10
years). It now interferes with installations under MacOS X.
Support compilation of multiple flavors for the Macintosh:
1. A Carbon port, text only and backwards-compatible with
older versions of the MacOS.
2. A termcap/Unix port for MacOS X only.
3. A Qt port, tiled and MacOS X only.
The flavor can be selected at compile-time by specifying the
appropriate prefix file for the compiler.
- fix ring of protection from shape changers causing
real monster to be created.
- add ability to get the character class monster from
genus() or the species.
- use the character class monster when animating
guardian corpses.

CE notes:
Fixes:
- added new options "wraptext", "fullscreen" and "softkeyboard"
- CE341-1 fix ("wraptext" option)
- hide map scrollbars on Smartphone
- added View->Options menu
- PocketPC: added "Fit to screen" and "Show/Hide keypad" icons
on the menu bar
- Smartphone: '<', '>' keys were mapped incorrectly
- build: use source files directly from <buildroot>\sys\wince instead of
copying them to <buildroot>\wince\
- If you have Gnome installed on solaris, the GETRES support wouldn't build.
I don't have access to a solaris system with Gnome installed, but hacked
unixconf.h to force the GETRES code itself to be compiled. So, I believe the
unixres.c change will work for folks really using Gnome on Solaris.
Whether the rest of the gnome code will build there is beyond me.
- I accidentally left TIMED_DELAY defined and the Solaris build failed.
While solaris has usleep(), this is not part of SVR4 as far as I can tell.
But, SysV does have poll, so I implemented msleep() for SysV systems in
terms of poll. So, you can now define TIMED_DELAY on any SYSV build.
<Someone> wishes to add a couple of new options to the wince port ("run fullscreen" and "do not use CE software keyboard").
The wincap field was full, so this adds a second field for
additional options.
