A new feature, enabled by default to maximize testing, but one which can
be disabled by commenting it out in config.h
With this, some additional information is added to the glyphmap entries
in a new optional substructure called u with these fields:
ucolor RGB color for use with truecolor terminals/platforms.
A ucolor value of zero means "not set." The actual
rgb value of 0 has the 0x1000000 bit set.
u256coloridx 256 color index value for use with 256 color
terminals, the closest color match to ucolor.
utf8str Custom representation via utf-8 string (can be null).
There is a new symset included in the symbols file, called enhanced1.
Some initial code has been added to parse individual
OPTIONS=glyph:glyphid/R-G-B entries in the config file.
The glyphid can, in theory, either be an individual glyph (G_* glyphid)
for a single glyph, or it can be an existing symbol S_ value
(monster, object, or cmap symbol) to store the custom representation for
all the glyphs that match that symbol.
Examples:
OPTIONS=glyph:G_fountain/U+03A8/0-150-255
(Your platform/terminal font needs to be able to include/display the
character, of course.)
The NetHack core code does parsing and storing the customized
entries, and adding them to the glyphmap data structure.
Any window port can utilize the additional information in the glyphinfo
that is passed to them, once code is added to do so.
Also, consolidate some symbol-related code into symbols.c, and remove it from
files.c and options.c
This evolves and hopefully eases the game-build requirements by
removing game-compile dependencies on any header files generated
by the makedefs utility, including:
date.h dependency and its inclusion is removed and comparable functionality
is produced at runtime via new file src/date.c.
pm.h dependency and its inclusion is removed and comparable functionality is
produced by moving the monster definitions from monst.c into new header
file called monsters.h and altering them slightly. The former pm.h header
file #define PM_ values are now replaced with appropriate emitted enum
entries during the compiler preprocessing.
onames.h dependency and its inclusion is removed and comparable functionality
is produced by moving the object definitions from objects.c into new header
file called objects.h and altering them slightly. The former onames.h header
file #define values are now replaced with appropriate emitted enum entries
during the compiler preprocessing.
artilist.h has been slightly altered, and the former onames.h artifact-related
header file #define ART_ values are now replaced with appropriate emitted enum
entries during the compiler preprocessing.
makedefs can still produce date.h (makedefs -v), pm.h (makedefs -p), and
onames.h (makedefs -o) for reference purposes. They won't be used during
the compiler.
The other uses for makedefs remain. They are used to prepare external
file content that the game utilizes, not prerequisite code for the
compile:
makedefs -d (database)
makedefs -r (rumors)
makedefs -h (oracles)
makedefs -s (epitaphs, engravings, bogusmons)
date.c
Pull the code for date/time stamping from mdlib.c into date.c.
Set date.o to be dependent on source files, header files, and .o files
so that date.o is rebuilt from date.c when any of those changes, thus
ensuring an accurate date/time stamp. It also includes git sha
functionality formerly done by makedefs writing #define directives
into include/date.h. For unix it passes the git info on
the compile line for date.c (via sys/unix/hints/linux.2020, macOS.2020)
nethack --dumpenums (optional, but on by default)
Allow developer to obtain some internal enum values from NetHack
without having to resort to an external utility such as
makedefs.
Uncomment #define NODUMPENUMS in config.h to disable this.
The updates to sys/windows/Makefile.gcc have not been tested yet.
There were multiple symbol-related lists that had to be kept
in sync in various places.
Consolidate some of that into a single new file
defsym.h
with a set of morphing macros that can be custom-called from
the various places that use the sym info without maintaining
multiple occurrences. Most maintenance can be done there.
Rename monsym.h to sym.h since it looks after some
symbols not related to monsters now too.
The defsym.h header file is included in multiple places to
produce different code depending on its use and the controlling
macro definitions in place prior to including it.
Its purpose is to have a definitive source for
pchar, objclass and mon symbol maintenance.
The controlling macros used to morph the resulting code are
used in these places:
- in include/sym.h for enums of some S_ symbol values
(define PCHAR_ENUM, MONSYMS_ENUM prior to #include defsym.h)
- in include/objclass.h for enums of some S_ symbol values
(define OBJCLASS_ENUM prior to #include defsym.h)
- in src/symbols.c for parsing S_ entries in config files
(define PCHAR_PARSE, MONSYMS_PARSE, OBJCLASS_PARSE prior
to #include defsym.h)
- in src/drawing.c for initializing some data structures/arrays
(define PCHAR_DRAWING, MONSYMS_DRAWING, OBJCLASS_DRAWING prior
to #include defsym.h)
- in win/share/tilemap.c for processing a tile file
(define PCHAR_TILES prior to #include defsym.h).
Add two new monsters and two new objects:
gold dragon
baby gold dragon
gold dragon scale mail
set of gold dragon scales
A couple of variants seem to have added these already, but this came
off my ancient list of monsters to add and was done from scratch.
It's a clone of silver dragon, but instead of having reflection and
breathing cold, a gold dragon emits light and breathes fire; because
of the latter it can be seen with infravision like a red dragon.
Adult gold dragons are lawful as in the AD&D Monster Manual rather
than chaotic as the wiki pages show for the variant versions.
Worn gold dragon scales operate similar to wielded Sunsword: when
blessed, radius is 3 (same as a lamp), if uncursed, radius is 2, and
if cursed, radius is 1 (but functions as 2 when worn by the hero,
otherwise there would be no tangible effect). Gold dragon scale mail
gets an extra +1, making blessed gold DSM have a bigger radius than
lamps. Embedded scales have radius 1 regardless of BUC state; light
for that case comes from the gold dragon monster form the hero is in.
When not worn, gold scales and scale-mail don't emit any light.
The tiles use a mix of yellow (for gold) and red. The two object
tiles seem reasonable variations of the corresponding silver dragon
ones. The two monster tiles definitely need work since the silver
ones were mostly cyan and changing that to red did not produce very
good result; subsequent attempt at a mixture was haphazard at best.
Valkyrie player monster was set to be chaotic even though valk
hero is lawful by default and can also be neutral but not chaotic.
Change it to be lawful. Warrior quest monsters attending leader
were also chaotic; change to lawful to match revised valk. If
hero is a neutral valk then both the player monster and warriors
get changed to neutral at start of game (and stay that way even
if hero changes alignment). The leader defaults to neutral but
gets changed to lawful for lawful valk hero.
Attentdant quest monsters with the healer leader were lawful but
if they gain enough experience they get promoted to healer, so
make them neutral like the latter.
I've added some miscellaneous comments and done a small amount of
reformatting. Comment about alignment changing in bones applies
to all roles that can be played with different alignments, not
just to valkyries. It isn't new; I just thought that it ought to
be mentioned somewhere.
Fixes#521
Allow killing your quest leader, just to make games winnable if you
converted before doing the quest.
Boost the quest leaders and give them some equipment. King Arthur
gets Excalibur. Killing quest leader gives really bad luck and
makes your god angry at you, and killing quest guardians gives
smaller penalties.
This is based on both the EvilHack implementation by
k21971 <keith.simpson1971@gmail.com>, and xNetHack
implementation by copperwater <aosdict@gmail.com>.
Despite active explosion attacks being called explosions in-game,
they only affected a single target, and were handled differently
from actual explosions. Make them do an actual explosion instead.
This should make spheres more interesting and inspire different
tactics handling them.
Because spheres deal more damage on average and can destroy items
in their explosions, their difficulty has been increased slightly.
Polyselfed hero exploding won't cause elemental damage to their
own gear.

Pull request fixed two genetic engineer problems:
1) lack of "you hit <foo>" message when you were poly'd into one;
2) lack of shield effect animation ('sparkle') when a genetic
engineer hit magic resistant hero.
That opened a can o' worms.
3) hero lacking see invisible, poly'd into genetic engineer, and
turning target into an invisible stalker got no feedback about
the target vanishing.
A genetic engineer attacking a monster would polymorph it turn
after turn.
4) put back the teleport capability I removed when bringing it over
from slash'em;
5) have genetic engineer teleport away after polymorphing someone.
The various mhitm_ad_XXXX() routines used g.vis to have caller
decide visibility, but hmonas() for poly'd hero didn't set that so
some messages--not just attack induced polymorph--were based on
visibility of earlier monster vs monster activity.
6) have hmonas() set up g.vis even though it doesn't use that.
There may have been one or two other minor fixes before I managed
to force the lid back onto the can.
Fixes#485
When wights were given a cold attack back in January, their
difficulty rating wasn't re-evaluated. The dummy monstr.c
produced by 'makedefs -m' puts it at 8 rather than previous 7.
The monk role can be either male or female but the monk fake
player monster was flagged as male-only. Allow both genders.
The male and female monk tiles are identical though and this
doesn't address that.
Fixes#466
remove unintentionally left M2_MALE flag on dwarf lord/lady/leader
provide a way to verify gender information relayed from the core
in debug mode on tty via #wizmgender debugging extended command
add MALE, FEMALE, and gender-neutral names for individual monster species
to the mons array. The gender-neutral name (NEUTRAL) is mandatory, the
MALE and FEMALE versions are not.
replace code uses of the mname field of permonst with one of the three
potentially-available gender-specific names.
consolidate some separate mons entries that differed only by species into a
single mons entry (caveman, cavewoman and priest,priestess etc.)
consolidate several "* lord" and "* queen/* king" monst entries into
their single species, and allow both genders on some where it makes some
sense (there is probably more work and cleanup to come out of this at some
point, and the chosen gender-neutral name variations are not cast in stone
if someone has better suggestions).
related function or macro additions:
pmname(pm, gender) to get the gender variation of the permonst name. It
guards against monsters that haven't got anything except NEUTRAL naming
and falls back to the NEUTRAL version if FEMALE and MALE versions are
missing.
Ugender to obtain the current hero gender.
Mgender(mtmp) to obtain the gender of a monster
While the code can safely refer directly to pmnames[NEUTRAL] safely in the
code because it always exists, the other two (pmnames[MALE] and
pmnames[FEMALE] may not exist so use:
pmname(ptr, gidx)
where -ptr is a permonst *
-gidx is an index into the pmnames array field of the
permonst struct
pmname() checks for a valid index and checks for null-pointers for
pmnames[MALE] and pmnames[FEMALE], and will fall back to pmnames[NEUTRAL] if
the pointer requested if the requested variation is unavailable, or if the
gidx is out-of-range.
Allow code to specify makemon flags to request female or male (via MM_MALE
and MM_FEMALE flags respectively)to makedefs, since the species alone doesn't
distinguish male/female anymore. Specifying MM_MALE or MM_FEMALE won't
override the pm M2_MALE and M2_FEMALE flags on a mons[] entry.
male and female tiles have been added to win/share/monsters.txt.
The majority are duplicated placeholders except for those that were
separate mons entries before. Perhaps someone will contribute artwork in the
future to make the male and female variations visually distinguishable.
tilemapping via has the MALE tile indexes in the glyph2tile[]
array produced at build time. If a window port has information that the
FEMALE tile is required, it just has to increment the index returned
from the glyph2tile[] array by 1.
statues already preserved gender of the monster through STATUE_FEMALE
and STATUE_MALE, so ensure that pmnames takes that into consideration.
I expect some refinement will be required after broad play-testing puts it to
the test.
consolidate caveman,cavewoman and priest,priestess monst.c entries etc
This commit will require a bump of editlevel in patchlevel.h because it alters
the index numbers of the monsters due to the consolidation of some. Those
index numbers are saved in some other structures, even though the mons[] array
itself is not part of the savefile.
Window Port Interface Change
Also add a parameter to print_glyph to convey additional information beyond
the glyph to the window ports. Every single window port was calling back to
mapglyph for the information anyway, so just included it in the interface and
produce the information right in the display core.
The mapglyph() function uses will be eliminated, although there are still some
in the code yet to be dealt with.
win32, tty, x11, Qt, msdos window ports have all had adjustments done to
utilize the new parameter instead of calling mapglyph, but some of those
window ports have not been thoroughly tested since the changes.
Interface change additional info:
print_glyph(window, x, y, glyph, bkglyph, *glyphmod)
-- Print the glyph at (x,y) on the given window. Glyphs are
integers at the interface, mapped to whatever the window-
port wants (symbol, font, color, attributes, ...there's
a 1-1 map between glyphs and distinct things on the map).
-- bkglyph is a background glyph for potential use by some
graphical or tiled environments to allow the depiction
to fall against a background consistent with the grid
around x,y. If bkglyph is NO_GLYPH, then the parameter
should be ignored (do nothing with it).
-- glyphmod provides extended information about the glyph
that window ports can use to enhance the display in
various ways.
unsigned int glyphmod[NUM_GLYPHMOD]
where:
glyphmod[GM_TTYCHAR] is the text characters associated
with the original NetHack display.
glyphmod[GM_FLAGS] are the special flags that denote
additional information that window
ports can use.
glyphmod[GM_COLOR] is the text character
color associated with the original
NetHack display.
Support for including the glyphmod info in the display glyph buffer
alongside the glyph itself was added and is the default operation.
That can be turned off by defining UNBUFFERED_GLYPHMOD at compile time.
With UNBUFFERED_GLYPHMOD operation, a call will be placed to map_glyphmod()
immediately prior to every print_glyph() call.
Let ki-rin cure themselves (of being stunned, confused, or blinded)
with their own horn, and make them be poison resistant. They
aren't unicorns but their horn is very much like a unicorn horn.
They're flagged no-corpse so this hasn't changed them to leave
behind a horn upon death.
They were flagged as animals who neighed but they are also spell
casters. I took the animal flag off (they're still no-hands so
shouldn't be able to use items; also, unicorns aren't flagged as
animals either) and changed sound to 'ms_spell'.
Adds two monsters originally from slash'em. I used the slash'em
tiles this time, also its code as a starting point but made various
revisions. Both the tiles could benefit from some touch-ups.
displacer beast: blue 'f'. Attempting a melee hit (ie, trying to
move to its spot) has a 50:50 chance for it to swap places with you.
Fairly tough monster to begin with, then half your ordinary attacks
effectively miss and if you try to face a mob by retreating to a
corridor or backing into a corner you can end up being drawn back
into the open. I added bargethrough capability, and also it won't
be fooled about hero's location by Displacement. [It only swaps
places during combat when contact is initiated by the hero, not
when attacked by another monster or when attacking.]
genetic engineer: green 'Q'. Its attack causes the target to be
polymorphed unless that target resists. Hero will almost always
have magic resistance by the time this monster is encountered, but
it can make conflict become risky by hitting and polymorphing other
monsters. Slash'em flagged it hell-only but I took that flag off;
I also took away its ability to teleport. Slash'em polymorphs the
hero if a genetic engineer corpse is eaten; that's included and I
introduced that for monsters too.
I added both of these to the list of candidates for monster spell
'summon nasties' and for post-Wizard harassment.
I also gave all the 'f's infravision. Probably only matters if the
hero polymorphs into a feline.
Displacer beast is originally from AD&D which depicts it as a six-
legged cougar with a pair of tentacles; it has Displacement rather
be able to affect an attacker's location. I think genetic engineer
is original to slash'em where it expands Q class but seems mainly to
be the base monster for Dr.Frankenstein (a unique monster with a
one-level side-branch lair in slash'em's incarnation of Gehennom).
I added -Wmissing-prototypes to my CFLAGS and got a bunch of warnings.
This fixes the core ones (there are more for X11 that I haven't looked
at yet). While fixing these, I discovered a few option processing
issues: the non-Amiga 'altmeta' should be settable while the game is
in progress (not sure about the Amiga variation so left that as-is),
'altmeta' and 'menucolor' are booleans so shouldn't have had optfn_XXX
functions; 'MACgraphics' and 'subkeyvalue' were conditionally defined
differently in options.c than in optlist.h.
Remove an obsolete comment about soldiers since they haven't been
contiguous for over 15 years as the 'ants in barracks' bug report
revealed.
Do some reformatting, mostly for attacks among the '@' class.
Only one actual change: reduce the level for 'elf' (placeholder
for zombie and mummy corpses) from 10 to 0 (and corresponding
difficulty from 12 to 2). I don't think that level is ever used
anywhere and the one for humans is already zero. Having it be
higher than Elvenking's level was absurd.
'@' section should either be completely reordered to obey 'rule #2'
or nurse should be moved back to where it once was (in front of
shopkeeper). I haven't done either but only because I couldn't
which of the two should be done.
MS_MOO was placed among the humanoid sounds, resulting in a minotaur
being able to articulate "I'm hungry". Move it to the animal sounds,
which causes almost all the sounds to be renumbered.
Give MS_MOO to rothes.
Change mumak from MS_ROAR to new sound MS_TRUMPET and mastodon from
silent to that.
I changed MS_ORC from a synonym for MS_GRUNT into a distinct type
which also just grunts. Grunt is in the animal group of sounds and
orc is now in the 'other' group (neither animal nor understandable
humanoid). [There are a bunch of other humanoid monsters (gnomes and
ogres, for example) that still use MS_GRUNT. They aren't animals so
that's not right.]
Have pets who beg for food but happen to have 'other' sounds between
animal and humanoid be described as looking hungry instead of being
skipped.
Hat tipped to a peaceful humanoid will behave as non-peaceful if
Conflict is active (without giving the monster a resistance check).
Despite mons[].msound getting new values, save files should be ok.
Increase weight of giant spider from 100 to 200; leave nutrition at 100.
Increase weight of giant beetle from 10 to 200; increase nutrition from
10 to 50. Both are still size 'large'.
I've left giant ant with weight 10, nutrition 10, size 'tiny' so that
it doesn't become bigger than soldier and fire ants.
Fixes#267
With 3.7+ aspirations of improving savefile interoperability between 32-bit
and 64-bit builds, as well as between platforms, it is better to not have
the underlying struct/array content be conditional.
This splits off some of the MAIL code into MAIL_STRUCTURES code. In theory,
since MAIL_STRUCTURES is unconditionally included, the macro could
just go away and leave that code unconditional, but this commit doesn't
go that far.
When SEDUCE is disabled, instead of swapping attacks in mons[] once,
do it on the fly in getmattk() whenever needed. That allows mons[]
to become readonly, although this doesn't declare it 'const' because
doing so will require a zillion 'struct permonst *' updates to match.
This seemed trickier than it should be, but that turned out to be
because the old behavior was broken. Setting SEDUCE=0 in sysconf or
user's own configuration file resulted in all succubus and incubus
attacks being described as monster smiles engagingly or seductively
rather than hitting (while dishing out physical damage). I didn't
try rebuilding 3.4.3 to see whether this was already broken before
being migrated to SYSCF.
mons[].difficulty takes over for monstr[]
Invoking "makedefs -m" gives a deprecation message; it is also included
in the (now mostly empty) monstr.c.
Ports should now remove "makedefs -m" from their build procedures but this
commit does not include that change.

For breath damage, the 'S' in NdS is ignored. 'N' for the number of
dice is used, but for number of sides of those dice, 6 is used for
most damage types. Add a comment to that effect to monst.c and change
a few Nd8 to Nd6 so that viewing the monster definitions matches what
they actually do.
My old monkey patch was a bit more extensive than Pasi's, although
it didn't originally include letting apes be tameable with bananas.
No sense in throwing it away:
1) Make monkeys and apes be omnivores instead of carnivores.
2) Make bananas be preferred food for herbivore/omnivore subset
of Y-class, so excludes carniverous ape, owlbear, and yeti.
[Sasquatch remain omnivorous but aren't tameable with bananas.]
3) While updating befriend_with_food(), make horses be affected
only by food they might eat, not by meat and corpses and tins.
So they'll be somewhat harder to cope with for characters not
strong enough to kill them. [Dogs and cats are unchanged.]
Not included (not even implemented...):
0) Allow archeologists to choose monkey for starting pet.
[The one in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" didn't actually belong
to Indiana Jones but spent a lot of time accompanying him.]
Reporter thought the fact that two different DREN cases had different
chances to inflict energy drain was an inconsistency, but it was
intentional. Attack for DREN damage has 25% chance to drain energy,
and is never used since no monster has such an attack. Engulf for
DREN damage has 75% chance to drain energy; energy vortices have this,
and the higher chance to be drained while engulfed was intentional.
So add comments explicitly spelling out the 25% and 75% chances.
During beta testing there was a complaint that the energy drain was
much too severe: once hero's current energy drops to 0, excess drain
for current attack and future drains come out of max-energy instead.
That's survivable for caster-type characters with really high energy,
but drained low energy characters to 0 max energy very quickly.
I agreed with the complaint but didn't implement a fix until too late
for 3.6.0. I've since thrown that one out and done this one instead.
Change base drain amount from 4d6 to 2d6, and weaken it more to 1d6
when energy is low or strengthen it to 3d6 when energy is high. It
almost certainly will need further tuning.
Somewhere along the line I started removing redundant parentheses from
return statements, but only in files that needed continuation fixups
so it's not comprehensive.
