Non-vampire shapeshifters were changing shape a lot; often you
could have a chameleon turning into a different monster each turn.
Now monster shape changing is actually their "special" power,
and it takes 3-12 turns until they can do it again.
Blessed potion of see invisible was guaranteed to give see invisible
intrinsic, making it far too easy to acquire. It now has 1/10 chance
of giving it permanently, somewhat similarly to potion of invisibility.
The outer edge of a random dungeon level can have undiggable
walls. Phaseable monsters, such as earth elementals, could
hide deep inside that boundary. Turn the walls beyond the
first layer of non-diggable walls also non-phaseable.
Acolytes grow up to priests, apprentices to wizards, but they
did not cast spells after they grew up. Give the monster priests
and wizards the same spellcasting attack as all the other
priest and wizard -type monsters.
This lack of magical ability goes back at least to 3.3.1;
I didn't bother checking back further.
Undead monsters created by the level creation routine do not grudge
other (zombifiable) monsters created during the level creation.
This of course doesn't prevent the grudge happening with monsters
created during gameplay.
Invalidates saves and bones.
Instead of using two separate functions with switch-cases for
wizard and clerical spell lists, define the spell lists
as arrays and use a single function to pick a spell
from the lists.
Adds levels to the monster spells, using the switch-case values,
with some minor fudging.
This defines the cut-off how many characters of the player's name
is shown in the bottom status line.
Also increase the limit from 10 characters to 16.
Use the 'm' Prefix to make wizwish show the history menu.
Also entries wished via WIZKIT are added to the history.
While debugging, I often need to wish the same thing multiple
times, and typing or pasting it with mouse is annoying...
Move the monster spell definitions there, and use hackery
(similar to objects.h) to generate enum and data from
the header file.
I have not tested Windows, VMS, or Amiga builds.
Add a new parameter to des.monster, m_lev_adj, which is a level
adjustment for the monster. This only applies to the monster's
level, so basically only affects the spellcasting, it does not
change the monster's hit die or inventory.
Change one of the shamans in Orctown to be 3 levels higher.
Change 'v' from #versionshort to #chronicle.
Change 'V' from #history to #versionshort.
History can still be accessed either directly with the extended command,
or via the help menu.
Versionshort now accepts the m-prefix, and then shows the longer version.
Normally energy regen is 1d2 or 1d3, so wearing the amulet increases
that to 1d4 or 1d5. The only way to get energy regeneration is via
The Eye of the Aethiopica, so you cannot have both at the same time.
Allows the user to configure a key binding to toggle any boolean
option, for example:
BIND=':toggle(price_quotes)
BIND=v:toggle(autodig)
The option must be settable in-game.
Key bindings were stored as a fixed-size array, indexed by the input
character, pointing to the extended commands. This changes that into
a linked list of an intermediary struct Cmd_bind, storing the input key
and the pointer to the command.
This is just code cleanup for future enhancements, and should have
no effect on gameplay.
Instead of outright destroying the armor, the spell will instead
first erode the armor. The spell hits 2-4 times, so if it hits
the same armor 4 times, it will get destroyed. This does not
hit erodeproof armor.
Also change the scroll of destroy armor, so that blessed one will
destroy a cursed armor, if hero is only wearing that.
dmgval is also used for monster attacks; move the healer knife
bonus to actual hero-specific code, and make sure it only
applies to hand-to-hand combat.
Styled as anatomy knowledge, a healer attacking a monster in melee
with a knife gets +1 damage per 6 dead monsters of that type,
capped at +3 damage.
Handwaving away the fact we're not keeping track who actually
killed the monsters...
Idea from aosdict.
The lua des.reset_level() call did not reset the special level
coder, so some values were kept and couldn't be changed.
Adjust the movement tests for this change.
Add a new debug flag prevent_pline, which prevents all messages
from going out to the UI. This prevents the tests from stopping
for -more-.
Add rudimentary tests for applying whistles, camera, and stethoscope.
Test generation of every object, both via des.object and obj.new.
Expose FIRST_OBJECT and LAST_OBJECT numbers to lua.
Add lua nh.int_to_objname, a function to convert integer value to
object base name and class.
Allow creating new nethack lua object by specifying id and class.
Expose constants NUMMONS, LOW_PM, and HIGH_PM to lua.
Allow converting an int to monster type name.
Create one of each type of monster in the lua tests.
Potion of object detection and then looking at a generic object glyph
on the map would try to "discover" the generic object, and the loop
in discover_object would go too far, overwriting the exclusion_zones
pointer.
Take the easy route and just prevent discovery of generic objects;
there are probably other places where the generic objects should
be handled too, but the fuzzer hasn't hit them.
Luck has a massive effect on the to-hit chance; maximum luck alone
(which almost everyone has past the midpoint of the game) gives
10 points to to-hit, so accounts for 50% chance alone, excluding all
other effects.
Multiple variants do something similar to this, so it is well tested.
This version comes from xNetHack by copperwater <aosdict@gmail.com>,
and allows the +1 or -1 luck adjustments of early game, such as full moon,
to have an effect.
The safe armor enchantment limit is lowered by one, if the armor
is innately magical. This takes off 3-7 points of AC from
a typical ascension kit, but should not really have any effect
for early game.
Also clean up the relevant code a bit.
Add some basic spellcasting stuff to the tutorial: read a spellbook,
cast a spell. If the hero doesn't have enough energy, just adds
a note saying so.
Remove/restore the known spells when entering/leaving the tutorial.
