From a bug report, the "you stagger"
message when a trapped chest releases a cloud of gas shouldn't include the
inaccurate phrase "and your vision blurs" if hallucination is blocked by
Grayswandir. Suppress it in that case.
I think being asleep or unconscious ought to override vision the way
that being blinded does, but that's a more ambitious change than I care to
tackle. This replaces You("see ...") with You_see("..."), comparable to
You_hear(). It catches the reported door case and several variations of
light sources burning out while on the floor rather than in inventory, but
it probably misses some other cases. zap_over_floor() in particular is
highly suspect.
A post-3.4.3 change dealing with reaching into pits resulted in "you
sit on the air" if you used the #sit command after escaping a pit trap.
Change can_reach_floor() so that caller explicitly controls whether being
on the brink of a pit is a condition that prevents reaching the floor.
This also splits a fairly common message about not being able to reach the
floor into a separate routine.
There is still oddness here: if you're polymorphed into a flyer,
#sit yields "you sit down" followed by "you fly over a pit" (latter occurs
when escaping trap activation). A ceiling hider behaves similarly, but
the second message is "you escape a pit" and doesn't sound quite as silly.
Perhaps #sit should pass TOOKPLUNGE to dotrap(), or maybe there's some
better way to handle this?
Reviving a corpse or statue restores the monster to life before
deciding whether the object which was used up in the process belongs to a
shop. This resulted in a rather strange situation when the revived monster
was the shopkeeper involved. The object can't have been stolen; there was
no shk to own it at the time it got used up.
Manlobbi's statue of a shopkeeper comes to life.
You owe Manlobbi N zorkmids for it.
Suppress "of a shopkeeper" in such a case, and do not charge the hero for
using up the statue. The corpse case only needed the second part.
This revises post-3.4.3 code so doesn't warrant a fixes entry.
From a bug report, using stone to flesh to
reanimate a petrified monster who was carrying gold (in his case, it was
a shopkeeper) resulted in gold in the monster's inventory. Somehow it was
also being duplicated in the mgold field--I didn't try to figure that part
out--so killing the monster produced double gold. More significantly,
probing such a monster prior to killing it caused a panic when the monster
inventory was being massaged for formatting.
Fix is trivial: use a routine which knows about special handling for
gold when transferring statue contents to resurrected monster. Both aspects
of the problem only occurred for the !GOLDOBJ configuration (which is our
default). However, any objects which confer something special when simply
being carried would have also been misbehaving--automagic animation of
cursed figurines is the only applicable situation; too rare for anyone to
have noticed.
<Someone> reported that when levitating and blind, he was getting
"You float over the hole" without it showing up on the map. Easiest way
to reproduce: zap a wand of digging downwards while levitating blind,
move off the spot and back over it.
Make sure that all traps created by the player are mapped. For other
traps, it was about 50:50 whether the trap triggering message yields enough
information to warrant forcibly mapping the trap when blind.
While auditing nomul() I noticed unconscious() treats (multi < 0 && !nomovemsg)
as unconscious. This explains the behavior in M29 (unconscious message
while performing #turn). I checked all the places with this combination,
and found a few that did not appear to fall under the "unconscious" category.
Most I changed to use You_can_move_again to ensure the same display w/o the
unconscious behavior. Also:
- found another string that unconscious() should have considered
- vomit() now sets nomovemsg, one caller was also doing this redundantly
- vomiting_dialogue() was calling stop_occupation() after vomit(), which can
reset multi. I reversed the order and removed a doubly-redundant nomul call.
tele() still has a problem: some cases where multi < 0 should probably take
a branch like the unconscious() branch but with a different message.
doturn()'s behavior - turn then wait - is also less than perfect, but I
think this is a known problem.
As reported, you'd get the "float gently to the ground" message even while
riding a flying steed. Rearranged the code and added a new case for this.
I found it odd that Hallucination protected you from falling out of the
saddle due to the Sokoban air currents. The message implied otherwise, so
I've made the sokoban_trap code apply in both cases.
<Someone> reported that if you polymorph into a flying monster while in a
pit, you must take u.utrap turns to first climb out before you can fly. Of
course, once you're out, you can swoop down into the pit to pick things up
w/o delay. Rather that have you automatically fly out (e.g. like quaffing
a potion of levitation), I thought it was better to take a turn to fly out,
so that's what I've implemented.
The code to deal with exiting a pit is moved to a new climb_pit function
and the "up" command now lets you climb from a pit too (something I've
found non-intuitive in the past).
Finally, I noticed that non-moving monsters could still go up/down even
though they couldn't move around. Added non-moving checks in doup/dodown.
Something from <Someone>'s list: some messages have hardcoded references
to "helmet" which sound strange when the character is wearing a hat or cap.
helm_simple_name() is comparable to the existing cloak_simple_name(). It
returns "helm" or "hat" depending upon whether the helmet provides the
same protection that yields the assorted repetitions of "fortunately,
you are wearing a hard helmet". This choice ends up categorizing elven
leather helm as a hat (which I think is ok given that its undiscovered
description is "leather hat"), contrary to <Someone>'s suggestion that the
distinction be made based on whether the helmet was made of cloth.
I started on this a year and a half ago but didn't commit it.
Unfortunately I don't remember why and haven't done any significant
additional work now--just recovered from some intervening bit rot and
confirmed that the patch as is seems to be working ok (in the trunk; the
branch side has not been tested). I suspect that I meant to look for
additional helmet messages which could benefit from conditional headgear
description. (Those "hard helmet" ones don't need it, although they
should perhaps be moved into a common routine instead of being replicated.)
Reported last December by <email deleted>. Using
a wand or spell of undead turning inside a shop used up corpses without
checking whether they were owned by the shop. Although the report didn't
mention it, using stone-to-flesh on statues had the same problem.
I'm not completely satisfied by some aspects of this code, but if I
don't commit what I've got now I probably never would. My original notes
are lost; I thought that there were some additional fixes present, but
looking at these diffs I don't see anything else significant enough to
warrant mention in the fixes file.

The first of these. If you look at launch_obj(), there's an
obj_extract_self() early on, then all the tracking its trajectory,
then a place_object() when it comes to rest; since the thitu() call
kills you during the trajectory part, the boulder never gets re-placed
onto the map. This is, I think, a bug (and one that will apply to any
monster-thrown object that kills you, as well); reported to the
DevTeam.
- can shift into fog clouds, vampire bats, and vampire lords into wolves
- after being "killed" in shifted form, they transform back rather than get
destroyed, and you must take them on in vampire form to defeat them
- can deliberately shift into fog clouds to pass under closed doors
This is a foundation patch for patches to follow.
- use a full short index for mon->cham field.
- The current system of providing CHAM_XXX values
was limited to the 3 bits allocated in the bitfield and invalidated
save/bones if the field was expanded.
- The current system didn't provide an easy backwards change
if multiple monster types wanted to use the bit, there was a one
to one mapping: For instance, if you wanted a CHAM_VAMPIRE,
and you wanted vampires, vampire lords, and Vlad to use it, you
would have to have CHAM_VAMPIRE, CHAM_VAMPIRE_LORD,
and CHAM_VLAD defined to achieve that with the one-to-one backward
mapping.
- This new way just uses the mon[] index in the mon->cham field and
eliminates the need for CHAM_XXX (CHAM_ORDINARY is still used).
- no longer requires the cham_to_pm mappings

Ensure that the corpse ends up buried in that case.
Change pit behavior to always mark a non-flying poly'd player as trapped in
a pit, even when Passes_walls is set. This allows players polymorphed into
xorns to descend into pits and pick things up. In this case, any attempt
to move out of the pit now takes a turn but always succeeds. Also fixed
a related bug (w/o ID) that a player could become trapped as if in a pit
when leaving xorn form because u.utrap wasn't checked, and simplified the
code since the extra Passes_walls checks are no longer needed. Also
updated code in sit.c that duplicated uteetering_at_seen_pit.
Fix the recently reported bug about the wording of trap messsages
when hero's steed has a name but hallucination prevents that name from
being used, yielding "You lead poor wombat into a pit!" and the like.
I accidentally deleted the message so can't reply to the sender.
[Before applying this patch, take a look at the POLY_TRAP case of the
switch statement in steedintrap(). A misplaced brace has drawn the
default case into one of its `if' statements. Evidently it's valid C
syntax, but someone among us must have access to a compiler or lint
checking tool which is capable to diagnosing such things.]
Try to address the problem From a bug report: turning the Wizard
of Yendor to stone preserves monster information with his statue and
presence of that information overrides the statue animation check
intended to prevent players from creating the Wizard (or other unique
monsters). That's ok for the current game--the monster had to have been
in play in order to be turned to stone--but is a problem if the statue
is found in a bones file. The report was for placing such a statue at
the location of an untriggered statue trap by a player who leaves bones,
but stone-to-flesh by the player who loads bones is a simpler way to
trigger this. (Aside from getting unique monsters earlier than usual
under some degree of player control they won't have their starting
inventory so special items like the Candelabrum might not get created.)
Using undead turning to revive corpses found in bones was another way to
get into the same trouble (I thought corpses of special monsters were
already excluded from bones?).
It looks like it's also possible to get strange quest behavior if
a corpse or statue of the leader or nemesis is brought into the dungeon,
left in bones, then revived by the second player, but I didn't attempt
to reproduce it. More work is probably needed; this tightens up leader
handling a bit but doesn't do anything about the nemesis. This patch
has already been spreading tentacles and I've got to cut it off....
The patch discards saved monster traits for corpses and statues of
unique monsters while saving bones; reviving or reanimating them will
produce doppelgangers instead of the original monsters, same as stone-to-
flesh on wished-for statues behaves. It also discards saved traits for
shopkeepers (also temple priests and vault guards--their traits weren't
saved in 3.4.2 though). That info might be useable when the corpse or
statue is on the same level as the monster started (ie, where its special
room is located), but that's a complication I'm going to bypass. This
patch also adds chameleon handling for statue activation--it wouldn't
have mattered in 3.4.2 since shapechangers didn't get their traits saved;
it does matter now but was omitted when trait-saving was extended to all
statues a while back. (It adds chameleon handling to corpse revival too,
but they still don't get their traits saved with corpses so that's just
protection in case of future modifications.)
Other bits: `cant_create()' is renamed to `cant_revive()' since
the latter is a more signicant use than wizard mode <ctrl/G> handling.
Now save traits with nymph corses so that cancellation can be propagated
if they're revived; that doesn't matter much but matches statue handling
(where it was more important since it dealt with succubi as well as with
nymphs). Explicitly initialize the shape-changer field of all monsters
instead of relying on implicit initialization to 0 (CHAM_ORDINARY).
There'll be a *much* shorter patch for 3.4.3 which will have to get
by with most of these obscure problems--fortunately they're unlikely to
impact many (any?) players.
<Someone> reported something along the lines of
"You are hit by a little dart."
[ "The dart was poisoned." -- this expected message was missing ]
"The poison doesn't seem to affect you."
Remove the overloading of ``chance for fatal poison'' and ``thrown weapon''
(which reduces that chance, among other things) for the arguments passed to
poisoned() and change how it decides whether feedback about being poisoned
is needed. Also, move poisoned() and poisontell() from mon.c to attrib.c.

It is not physical damage if:

The first one is no longer present in the trunk code. The last one is
bogus as its wishy-washy wording suggests.
Calling rehumanize directly when u.mh > 0 doesn't consider Unchanging

Also, part of a buglist item: .5PD didn't affect rust trap damage on iron golem
Allow migrated objects to break on arrival. Added code to obj_delivery to
cause this, along with a flag to keep breakage from occurring. The new
flag isn't used yet, because all the current object migration involve
objects that were moving/dropping. To help make this change, rloco now
returns whether the object was placed or not, so caller can know if an obj
pointer is still valid or not.
Making the breakage messages for MIGR_NEAR_PLAYER objects show up after the
new level is displayed required some effort (rather than while the old level
was still displayed, which was confusing), due to the needs of goto_level.
- obj_delivery now has 2 passes, one for before player arrives, another after,
allowing the two cases to be treated differently
- goto_level calls obj_delivery twice (run_timers is not called twice,
since the run required before the level is displayed will have already run
any timers on migrating object)
- kill_genocided_monsters now kills eggs on the migrating_objs list too

A recent patch ensured that you ended up in the water when
polymorphed.
This patch is less ambitious than <Someone>'s
contribution, where he actually had the monster hold you up.
Perhaps that can be tackled for the trunk later.
add a new melt_ice_away timer for ice created via zapping
a wand/spell of cold.
Some follow-up adjustments to the length of time before
the ice melts may be necessary. Ideally, I'd like to
have it so that the shorter the length of time since
the ice was created, the lesser the chance that it will
melt out from under you. Likewise, the longer it has
been, the more risky it will be to venture onto it.
At the moment, however, each spot of ice is just
getting a somewhat random time always greater
than 50, which is less than ideal.
Introduce a new set of functions to manage delayed killers in the trunk, used
in addressing the various reports of delayed killer confusion. Since existing
delayed killers are related to player properties, the delayed killers are
keyed by uprop indexes. I did this to avoid adding yet another set of
similar identifiers.
- the new delayed_killer() is used for stoning, sliming, sickness, and
delayed self-genocide while polymorphed. Some other timed events don't
use it (and didn't use the old delayed_killer variable) because they
use a fixed message when the timeout occurs.
- A new data structure, struct kinfo, is used to track both delayed and
immediate killers. This encapsulates all the info involved with
identifying a killer. The structure contains a buffer, which subsumes the
old killer_buf and several other buffers that didn't/couldn't use killer_buf.
- the killer list is saved and restored as part of the game state.
- the special case of usick_cause was removed and a delayed killer list
entry is now used in its place
- common code dealing with (un)sliming is moved to a new make_slimed function
- attempted to update all make dependencies for new end.c -> lev.h

Because of the size of this patch and its savefile incompatibilities,
it is only being applied to the trunk code. Portions of this patch
were written by Michael Allison.
Fix the reported bug of problems after casting stone-to-flesh spell
on self while wielding a statue. Pointers for worn items weren't kept in
sync and various potential symptoms could occur (most easily visible one
being that ')' falsely reported the no longer existing statue as still
wielded; report stated that one crash was observed). This bug predates
3.4.2 and was probably present ever since stone-to-flesh got introduced.

This patch:

It also adds the following to the new structure:
- stethoscope turn support
- victual support

This patch introduces a change to yname() and Yname2() that avoids the
possessive "your" for the hero's normal, fully identified artifacts.
Quest artifacts still get the possessive, as do all other objects and all
objects not in the hero's possession. shk_your()/Shk_Your() are used in
many places with a specific, generalized name for the object, so I didn't
introduce the artifact behavior there, although I did change them to append
a space, which simplified some other code. Through added use of yname(),
there may be some places that used to just say "corpse" that will now be more
descriptive via yname()'s use of cxname(). I'm sure <Someone> will point
out any such places that are too onerous, although nothing obviously is.
I took the opportunity to inspect many uses of "your" and even Your(). Two
new functions are also introduced, yobjnam() and Yobjnam2(), which work
like aobjnam() and yname() combined, because I found that many uses of
aobjnam() were preceeded by "your" and I couldn't generally provide the
desired behavior for artifacts (or future artifacts) without a combined
function. In some cases, this change allowed better sharing of code.
rust_dmg() still takes a string as input which is sometimes initialized
from xname() and often prepends "your" to it. Currently, this isn't a
problem since there currently are no normal, armor artifacts. If/when any
are introduced, rust_dmg() will need to be addressed.
The patch is for the trunk only. A lot of research was required and I
didn't feel the upside was there for repeating it in the 3.4.3 branch.
- fix ring of protection from shape changers causing
real monster to be created.
- add ability to get the character class monster from
genus() or the species.
- use the character class monster when animating
guardian corpses.
Also a related bug: the guard against animating a unique
monster via tossing a statue onto a statue trap location, was
causing stone to flesh to silently ignore any statue of a unique
monster which seemed very uncharacteristic of the spell.
After this patch, statues of quest guardians and statues of
unique monsters will animate as shape-shifters posing as those
monsters, not the monsters themselves.
