From SliceHack. Note that this refers to the description of the physical
bottle; it's a substitute for "phial", "carafe", "flask", etc. such as
are seen when a potion crashes on someone's head. They don't obscure the
randomized appearance or actual potion identity.
The SliceHack version evidently went through several revisions; just
take the current one.
The general idea here came from SpliceHack -- give each alignment a
unique effect in what happens to its sacrifices -- but the "puff of
smoke" in Splice seemed too small.
Triggers when you feel more confident in your skills. This is to address
a problem I have heard about several times from newer players: unless
you pay close attention to the guidebook, nothing in the game actually
indicates that you can level up your abilities and how to do it.
Experienced players don't need this message, of course; they can hide it
via MSGTYPE if they really hate it, but I additionally added a clause
that prevents this message from being displayed more than once per game
session. (It didn't seem important enough to make a save field for.)
Backported from TNNT. Only affects dumplog pline history, not any other
form of pline history.
The impetus for this is to avoid dumplogs full of "Unknown command foo."
messages which don't provide any value for people reading the file. In
many cases, these messages crowd out the actual message history, making
it hard to reconstruct what happened.
It's confusing and served no purpose; a spoiled player knew what it is,
an unspoiled player might think it was a hook-hand or something. Now
they all show up as grappling hook.
That message implied something to do with an effect happening to the
hero that causes them to feel cold, such as taking cold damage.
Change it to "You hear a deep cracking sound" instead.
This adds a boolean option, autounlock, defaulting to true. When this is
set to TRUE, messages stating that some door or container is locked are
automatically followed by a prompt asking if you would like to unlock
it, if you are carrying an unlocking tool (key, lock pick, or credit
card).
Architecturally, this extends the pick_lock function to take three
additional arguments (door coordinates or a box on the ground you are
autounlocking).
The code that selects an unlocking tool will always look first for a
skeleton key, then a lock pick, then a credit card. Since curses, rust,
and other attributes don't really have an effect on the viability of the
unlocking device, it didn't seem to warrant making a more complex
function for that.
Add hallucinatory trap names
This adds many funny, realistic, and nonsensical traps to the game, to
be shown when the player is hallucinating.
Architecturally, the biggest change is merging the what_trap macro and
the "defsyms[trap_to_defsym(ttyp)].explanation" pattern into a single
function "trapname", which returns the name of the trap, handling the
hallucination case. There is also a second parameter used for overriding
hallucination in the occasional cases where the actual trap name should
always be returned.
In addition, the what_trap and random_trap macros are now obsolete and
not used anywhere, so they are removed.
reinstate anti-rng abuse bit on hallucination
updates to hallucinatory trap names and fixes37.0 entry
It's a minor annoyance when you forget you can't do this in vanilla and
then get relocated somewhere random on the level. Since it's not a
harmful "trap", just allow the adventurer to teleport directly onto it.

Because this adds a new field to struct flag, this is not a
save-compatible change. I have not adjusted EDITLEVEL or
VERSION_COMPATIBILITY, though.

Inadvertently reintroduced in f9f1236. It was just the conditional
that was bad: due to resolving the possible buffer underflow when
comparing to "muskox", the pluralizer now only adds -es when the length
of the string is greater than 5. So for "box" and "fox" the pluralizer
will never add the -es ending, since they are greater than 5.
This commit checks for "does not end in muskox" correctly.
