Add
--showpaths
early option to show where NetHack is expecting to find certain files
without starting up a game. It exits afterwards.
Windows sample (for illustration only, locations may differ for you):
Variable playground locations:

Slippery fingers would transfer from bare hands to gloved hands if
you put gloves on. The reverse, transfering from gloves to bare
hands when taking gloves off, was already being prevented for
directly taking them off, but still allowed the slipperiness to
transfer when gloves were lost. This prevents putting on gloves
when fingers are slippery and attempts to handle cases where gloves
get unworn by ways other than 'T' (or 'R') or 'A'.
There's no slippery attribute for objects (way too much work for too
little value); slippery gloves is just the combination of wearing
gloves and having slippery fingers (which now has to have happened
while already wearing those gloves). This changes inventory to use
"(being worn; slippery)" when applicable and much of the patch deals
with funnelling Glib changes through new make_glib() to try to make
sure that persistent inventory adds or removes "; slippery" right
away when changes happen.
If gloves are taken off involuntarily (shapechange to a form that
can't wear them, destruction via scroll of destroy armor or monster
spell of same or via overenchantment, theft), slippery fingers ends
right away instead of the usual few turns later.
When I expanded the Guidebook's sample configuration file I added
several status_hilite options. I decided that I'd better test what
was written and discovered that if Xp had an up or changed rule as
well as one or more percentage rules, it was showing bogus changes
whenever the integer value of the percentage changed. The fix
turned out to be simple but it took a while to figure out.
I ultimately left the status_hilite settings out of the sample
options, because they tended to be too wide for Guidebook.txt's
formatting rather than because they weren't working as expected.
Reported directly to devteam, the POSIX_TYPES subset (most? all
these days?) of Unix that defines USE_FCNTL was unlocking lock file
'perm' when done with it but wasn't explicitly closing it unless
the unlocking failed. Triggered a valgrind complaint and could have
posed a problem if restart gets implemented for this configuraiton.
Feedback when playing music while hallucinating misspelled
"butterflies".
Other bits in the same code (not part of #H9407):
All feedback messages while impaired gave "You produce <something>"
which was immediately followed by many of the instruments giving
their own "You produce <some other thing>." Change the verb for the
playing-while-impaired messages to avoid having two consecutive
"you produce" ones.
Also, multiple impairments (two or more of stunned, confused, and
hallucinating) always gave the generic "what you produce is far
from music" message. Have them sometimes ignore excess impairments
to give the message for one of those.
Game is playable, and should compile on linux and Windows.
Assumes you have a lua 5.3 library available.
Removes level compiler and associated files.
Replaces special level des-files with lua scripts.
Exposes some NetHack internals to lua:
- des-table with commands to create special levels
- nh-table with NetHack core commands
- nhc-table with some constants
- u-table with some player-specific data (u-struct)
- selection userdata
Adds some rudimentary tests.
Adds new extended command #wizloadlua to run a specific script,
and #wizloaddes to run a specific level-creation script.
nhlib.lua is loaded for every lua script.
Download and untar lua:
mkdir lib
cd lib
curl -R -O http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
tar zxf lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
Then make nethack normally.
Wizard mode shows the number of points needed to reach the next level
(unless already maxxed out at 30) for ^X and end of game disclosure.
Do it in normal play for the latter too. (I think it would ok to do
that for ^X too but haven't gone that far.)
Even when it was wizard mode only, the phrasing for past tense had a
minor grammar bug, and it could make the line a little too long for
tty and curses (not sure about others) when level was high, resulting
in wrapped text. That looked bad for tty, which first tries removing
indentation (just 1 space in this case), making that line outdented
as well as wrapped. So change the phrasing slightly when experience
level is 'too high'. I had a version which formatted, measured, and
re-formatted if necessary but that was overkill; simple hardcoded
rephrasing suffices particularly when measuring was against assumed
display width (80) rather than actual width.
Flag existing occurrences of "You hear" as "Deaf-aware" so
that a grep for that string in the future doesn't need to
trigger further investigation of those.
Something I realized while following up a newsgroup post. If you
knew an item's bless/curse state and dipped it into water while
blind, the bknown flag stayed set and you learned the item's new
bless/curse state without seeing any "glows blue/black/&c" feedback.
Clear the flag unless you know that the potion being dipped into is
water (or is clear if not water has not been discovered) and also
know the water potion's own bless/curse state.
Music wasn't using You_hear() so needs to handle Deaf itself. Have
it give alternate messages for sounds being emitted from instruments.
This doesn't implement the suggestion that a Deaf hero shouldn't be
able to produce the same music as a non-deaf one.
Creation of guardian angel bypasses tamedog() and marks it tame
directly but it wasn't updating the map after changing the monster.
So if 'hilite_pet' was On when entering the Astral Plane level, the
angel appeared to be ordinary monster rather than a tame one until
it moved or the screen was redrawn. Also, the message about it
appearing was issued before marking it tame, so a tiny bit of code
reordering has been done to get the sequence correct.
