- keep boolean and valued option sections together
- be more consistent in use of terms "graphical port"
and "graphical interface" in the document (use the
latter where noticed)
- don't mention options available in other ports so
much since this document is not a general
document.
- move the numeric keypad stuff to the end. It seems
to assume number_pad on. So I stated that it does.
(Many players never play with number_pad on, and
I'm one of them. I'm not sure of the merit in having
the section in here at all, since it exists in the
Guidebook doesn't it?) How accurate is the text
that is there if you aren't in number_pad mode?
- remove a strange \! in the section for Blind users
- update the wording in the subsequent paragraph to be consistent with
the wording in the preceeding IBMgraphics paragraph
This is so it can be shared with Qt.
If, for some reason, we have to cut another source tarball for
3.4.0, then this will be included. Otherwise, this will
turn out to be a post-3.4.0 patch.
Unfortunately a couple of glitches were encountered during the build of
the DOS binary.
Also, somewhere along the way the ability to separate the debug info
for the win32 tty binary into its own PDB file was removed from
Makefile.msc. I wasn't aware of that until I went to build the binary,
and discovered that I had no PDB file to stow away for bug
reports.
- various commands were missing from various help files
- fix a few inconsistencies between similar help files
- M-2 doesn't do #twoweapon when number_pad is enabled
- M-? usually displays #? help info
- weasel-word the reason the screen shown in the Guidebook looks little like
several windowports
- document the playersuffix syntax in the nethack.6 man page
- splash_screen (boolean for whether to display splash screen at startup)
- player_selection:dialog|prompts
Also moves the font and window manipulation stuff in defaults.nh
further down the file, so that a tty users doesn't have to wade
through it all to find the character adjustment samples.
It's possible to leashed a saddled pet and them ride it,
but it wasn't possible to remove the leash while mounted. This
fixes that; it also lets you put the leash on your steed while
mounted, but there's nothing wrong with that.
- changed splash screen fonts to measure in logical pixels rather that
points.
Points are 1/72 inch regardless of screen resolution. If screen resolution
changes so does visible image size. If font is measured in points then its
visible size remains the same. The text is getting cut off (or becomes to
small for the image) as a result.
- a couple of README updates
- some color changes for windowcolors
- prevent crash From a bug report, but better than a crash. It
probably renders the map_mode:fit_to_screen ignored in defaults.nh.
