Being hit by Fire Brand now stops the sliming process if you're
being turned into green slime. And throwing an artifact up will give
artifact hit effects when it falls back down, making it possible to
hit yourself with Fire Brand (among other things). Hitting yourself
with Vorpal Blade or the Tsurugi of Muramasa will never behead or
bisect you; hitting yourself with Stormbringer will drain levels.
(I hope the latter doesn't make it too easy for players to manipulate
their experience level.)
This doesn't add artifact_hit() handling to mthrowu. If monsters
ever start throwing artifacts that will need to be added.
Add absent prototypes to some core routines.
Also add some port function() to function(void) in some win32 routines.
Also updates the Borland C Makefile for win32.
Players wielding a lance while riding will "joust" monsters
they attack.
Note that monsters don't get pushed into inaccessable tiles such
as walls, doors, iron bars, water, or lava; they stay at the edge.
Further refinements are possible for these cases.
Implement a patch which <Someone> posted on the newsgroup back in September:
"If I had my druthers, daggers would be chosen over other
weapons if there's no missiles or suitable ammo available, and weapons
not designed for throwing wouldn't be chosen at all."
