Add "mouse_support" wincap option to enable/disable mouse.

complained about the square mouse cursor.

Fixing some iron ball/teleds stuff:
-- If the player can pass through walls, ignore all checks for walls, or else
things will behave weirdly.
-- Instead of using the kludge "if the distance is >2 it must be a teleport",
pass a parameter indicating whether they crawled or teleported onto the new
space. This fixes a special case, where the player moved one space and the
ball didn't move, but the chain moved through solid rock. This is acceptable
if teleporting and unacceptable if dragging.
This also required some rearrangement of teleds() so that u.ux,u.uy
are set after placing the ball, not before. I'm still not sure the pit
filling line is in the right place; anyone know?
-- add some comments so I can look at the code in a month and still know what
I did.
Most of this patch is just adding the new parameter.
Replace "feature_toggle" implementation with an easier-to-understand
boolean option called "lootabc".
Provide "showrace", an option to display the hero by race glyph rather
than by role glyph.
Document the above.
Remove some obsolete Mac options.
There was at least one more special case aside from throwing
(jetisoning items to reduce weight after falling in water) which
have needed the same extra code. This is a more general fix.
If you stepped on an unknown rolling boulder trap, and that rolling boulder
hit a monster and killed it, you would be called a killer. This makes
playing a pacifism conduct game rather difficult.
- track boulders from unknown rolling boulder traps, and don't charge/credit
hero if they kill monsters. This is done by temporarily setting otrapped on
such boulders.
- boulders from known traps are still charged/credited to the hero
- fix a couple places in ohitmon where is_poisonable wasn't checked along
with opoisoned.
This adds a generic feature_toggle mechanism to
the game. Code that wants to offer two different
ways of doing something can add an entry to
feature_toggles[] (in decl.c), and create a
preprocessor macro for its array index in decl.h.
Then the code can test it using
if (feature_toggle(FEATURE_NAME))
..do_this..
else
..do_that..
The player can toggle the alternate code path
on using OPTIONS=feature_toggle:feature_name_1 feature_name_2 ...
This seems better than creating brand new options
for controlling features (ala prayconfirm, which
could switch to this single option feature_toggle
mechanism as well)
My first use of it is to allow toggling of the selectors
on the loot menu, which I'm hesitant to just change back
because now people are actively using the new selectors and
the complaints would be really loud if the interface were
to just switch back after they adjusted.
The default behaviour is the new behaviour "iob", but with an
OPTIONS=feature_toggle:loot_menu_selectors
in your config file, it will revert to using "abc" as it did
in 3.3.1. I'll add a Guidebook page of "features/behaviour
that can be toggled" later.
The toggles can only be done in defaults.nh, and are
not saved with the game.
- support X11 tile files (with or without XPM) that are 40 tiles wide
- rearrange some X11 code to share more code between XPM & non-XPM options
- clean out some deprecated X11/winmap.c #ifdefs
- update Qt code minimally to handle such an XPM file
- 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.
part 1 touches core files
ntconf.h changes differ slightly from Yitzhak's original.
Makes Borland happy with current sources.
Hides "rawio" on Graphical Port which doesn't do anything with rawio
The Kop Kaptain's rubber hose shatters from the force of your blow!
Rubber hoses are an individual exception that would need to be dealt
with explicitly, since the PLASTIC they're made of is floppy rather
than rigid as for other PLASTIC items.
Add option windowcolors to control foreground/background
color of menu, message, status, and text windows.
(foreground color is the text color).
The value of the colors is window port specific, the
core code handles the storing of the strings only.
- set OPTIONS_FILE in ntconf.h so makedefs will use it
- it gets set to either "ttyoptions" or "guioptions" depending on window port
being built
- dlb nhdat creation stuffs both into the dlb file
-Allow overriding of OPTIONS_FILE in makdefs.c
-Change obsolete WIN32_GRAPHICS to the correct MSWIN_GRAPHICS
-Remove the 8514 and VESA screen control stuff since it never existed.
This prevents wizkit items that aren't objects from having their names
printed on the screen if they are gold pieces, traps, or similar.
(Note that the only one of those that actually works is gold. For some reason
if you put "a hole" (for instance) in the wizkit, the hole will not get
created, even though it will, even on the stairs, if the wizard wishes for it
in-game.)
- new cxname() to simplify doing the right thing in increasingly common cases
- use for bullwhip snagging
- in shopkeeper offer code
- in a couple other existing places rather than duplicating CORPSE checks
- use singular(...) in "swings" cases, since only one can hit. Singular uses
corpse_xname automatically when appropriate
includes container contents, not just the cost of the
container itself (a prices in inventory phenomenon).
Along the way I discovered a peculiarity -
contained_cost() was adding up the cost of everything in
a container, even if you had stashed items in it that were your
own and not marked unpaid it seems.
I added a flag to force the code to only add objects
that were marked "unpaid" so I could use it in this new
instance, but I didn't change any of
the existing usages (I left the flag at FALSE which leaves
the consideration of the unpaid status alone just as
before).
Some of this is correction of some messages that were
wrong prior to this when dealing with selling of objects
inside a container when only part of the contents was unpaid.
- new iflags.vision_inited to determine if vision is ready to go.
- the flag is set the first time vision_reset() completes, actually every time
- vision_recalc() checks the flag before doing anything.
-Rename is_greystone() to is_graystone() since I've
had one complaint about my choice of spelling for
the macro already.
-Change the recent "#rub touchstone" code to use
the macro which pre-existed under the other spelling
and was already used in the very same "if" statement
with that spelling in invent.c. :-)
accelerators).

- added F4/F5 functionality - same as in MSDOS port
F4 toggles between fitting the tiled display to the screen
and full size (compresses the tiles to fit / uncompresses).
F5 alternates between ascii and tiles.
- added support for wc_vary_msgcount
- avoid several buffer overflows
- move use of access() to files.c in new can_read_file() function
- remove extra newlines in raw_print() calls
- get ready for lint, eg sprintf -> Sprintf
- generally make the code look like core code, not Qt code
Strengthen Death by making his "drains your life force"
result take away some max HPs to augment the ordinary damage
it does. The chance for that effect is reduced from 80% to
75% though. Weaken Famine, Pestilence, and Demogorgon by
preventing them from hitting with both of their disease or
hunger attacks on the same turn. When their first attack
hits, the second now gets treated as a stun attack, but if
the first one misses then the second is unchanged and yields
another chance to deliver the disease or hunger effect.
Generally modify the AD_DGST damage type so that:
- players and pets get no AD_DGST nutrition from G_NOCORPSE monsters
- undead no longer convey any nutrition, to either monsters or you-as-monster
I decided on this based on the age typically assigned to undead corpses.
- digestion conveys 50% or normal nutrition, and takes 25% the time to eat.
- all AD_DGST attacks are now subject to gas spore explosions, including player
in the objects[] array to allow inclusion of touchstone
when wishing for gray stone.
The patch increments editlevel and invalidates bones
and save files.
