remove the safeproc pseudo-windowport routines from

A very early pass is made through the config file,
seeking out just the interface-related OPTIONS=windowport
and OPTIONS=soundlib and ignoring all other options in the
config file during that early pass, so the windowport
can be activated without the NetHack core initialization
in place that some of the other rcfile OPTIONS require.
Bundles the existing rcfile processing code into rcfile().
New functions to control which rcfile options will be
disregarded in the early config file pass, and which will be
processed:
set_all_options_disregarded();
set_all_options_heeded();
disregard_this_option(opt_xx);
heed_this_option(opt_xx);

a bundling of a series of function calls to achieve
the desired result.

These are displayed in discoveries, and a new 'price_quotes' option
allows them to be displayed for un-IDed objects in other contexts
too (the idea is that you turn on the option while identifying
objects and off for general play).
Invalidates existing save files.
This adds a "reroll" option that lets players reroll their
character's attributes and starting inventory. Although I generally
think doing this makes the game worse, a) some players are going to
do it regardless and b) if a player is going for a challenge game,
rather than to win, it may be required. So in the absence of an
option like this, players repeatedly start and quit games instead,
creating a large number of junk logfile entries and generally
causing problems for other players on the same shared machine
(because repeatedly reloading the game is very CPU-intensive).
This should in theory be windowport-agnostic (although in practice
it may not be). Tested on tty, X11 and curses; on tty and X11 it
works fine (although X11 treats the change in attributes as
something that needs a status highlight), on curses it is slightly
jankier in terms of what other windows are drawn in the background
(but still plays correctly and I suspect this is a pre-existing
bug).
To form a complete implementation, we will need to consider the
following:
- Should there be a delay on a) starting the game and/or b)
rerolling? If so, what should it be (maybe configurable via
sysconf?)
- Should we take more steps to discourage players from rerolling?
It would be bad if players see the option exists and turn it on
just because it exists, or (worse) treat it as condoning the
particular style of play.
- Should we take steps to detect that players are rerolling
manually and a) tell them to use the option instead, b) tell them
that this is not an intended way to play (and may make the game
less enjoyable and/or prevent them getting the practice they need
to eventually win)?
Breaks save and bones files.
The two options are very similar but probably mutually exclusive
except when using look-here and look-into-container (both via ':')
with the default setting for 'sortloot', or with inventory when
'sortpack' has been toggled off.
This removes 'use_menu_glyphs' and changes 'menu_objsyms' from a
boolean to a compound taking six possible values:
| 0: no object symbols in menus,
| 1: append object class symbol to object header lines (same as old
|menu_objsyms boolean),
| 2: include object symbol in menu entry lines for objects (same as
|recently added use_menu_glyphs),
| 3: both 1 and 2,
| 4: display as #2 but only if the menu lacks class header lines,
| 5: if header lines are present, display as #1; if headers are not
|present, then display as #4 (which will implicitly be #2).
Default is #4.
Effectively replaces the options portion of pull request #1406 and
retains the functionality, but not as default for normal menus.
Guidebook.tex is only partially updated. Someone else will need to
finish that.
It was too early to call the windowport change_color() routine
while processing the config file. The windowport was not yet
fully operational.
Now the palette option processing will just place the rgb
value into the appropriate ga.altpalette[CLR_MAX] entry.
init_sound_disp_gamewindows(void) [allmain.c] calls
change_palette() [coloratt.c] and it will call the windowport
change_color() function for each ga.altpalette[] entry that
has been set.
Notes:
The rgb values stored in ga.altpalette[] have the NH_ALTPALETTE bit set
so that the rgb value of 0 can be stored and be distinguishable from
a "not set" entry.
The NH_ALTPALETTE bit is cleared from the rgb value in change_palette()
prior to calling the windowport change_color() function.
The syntax for palette is colorname/r-g-b.
For example: palette:black/12-12-12
colorname must be one of the NH_BASIC_COLOR names or a suitable
alias for one of those 16 entries.
Some of the windowport CHANGE_COLOR functions had the wrong parameters,
perhaps due to bitrot. Those have been corrected to match the prototype.
Make sure the windowcolors option can be specified more than
once without a config file warning.
Make the struct holding the details a little more extendable.
Don't include the new 'showvers' option in the short 'O' menu.
optlist.h doesn't start with the usual line with substitutable fields
but I haven't attempted to amend that.
Add options 'showvers' (boolean) and 'versinfo' (numeric mask) to
show nethack's version on the status lines during play. It won't be
particularly interesting to ordinary players but should be useful
when making screenshots or video to be streamed, or for someone who
switches between git branches or between nethack and variants.
I worked on this several months back but it was combined with
unfinished changes to 'hitpointbar'. I've separated it out so that
it can be put into use. When enabled, one or more components of
"<name> <branch> <version>" will be shown right justified after
status conditions. At present the default is "<branch>" if that is
available and overall status isn't 'released', or "<version>" if
'released' or if branch isn't available. That might need some
refinement.
It works as intended for tty and curses, although some abbreviation
mechanism would be useful if/when the program resorts to abbreviating
status conditions to make things narrow enough to fit.
For X11, it works ok for fancy_status:True (the default, controlled
via NetHack.ad settings) but is messed up for tty-style status. The
text is positioned correctly but there are gaps in it, making it
appear garbled, similar to what I saw when I tried and failed to
implement statuslines:3 for X11. [It might be due to having empty
condition widgets be 1 pixel wide instead of being totally removed
but I don't think the situation is that simple.]
For Qt, if the text needs to be truncated in order to fit, the center
portion of the string will be shown, discarding parts from the left
and right. That ought to discard from left and retain rightmost
portion instead.
For win32|mswin|Win GUI, no attempt to support it has been included.
Things should be ok when 'showvers' is left as False (the default)
but I don't know what will happen if that gets toggled to True. At a
minimum, the version info won't be right justified. The information,
or at least some of it, is displayed in the game window's title bar
so there isn't any pressing need to add it to status, but toggling
the option will need to behave sensibly if it doesn't already.
Adds a new extended command #lookaround, which will describe
the map around the hero they can see or remember.
Adds a new boolean option mention_map, which will give a message
when an interesting map location in sight changes.
Add a new boolean option showdamage, if on, outputs a message
like "[HP -2, 14 left]" - several variants have something similar,
but I chose the message based on how eSpeak said it, while keeping
it short.
add CRASHREPORT for Windows
add ^P info to report (via DUMPLOG)

Windows VS: working. pdb file is large - looking into options
MacOS: working
msdos: not supported
VMS: not supported
MSVC: planned, but not attempted
MSYS2: working, but libbacktrace not showing symbols (yet?)
Adds a new boolean option, spot_monsters. If on, every time
the hero notices a monster which was out of sight before,
a message is given. Combine with accessiblemsg to get the
monster location:
(3north): You see a newt.
Breaks saves and bones.
Adds a new boolean option, accessiblemsg. If on, some game messages
are prefixed with direction or location information, for example:
(west): The newt bites!
(northwest): You find a hidden door.
I added the info to the most common messages, but several are
still missing it.
Pull request from entrez: add 'nopick_dropped' option of not pick up
items dropped by hero via autopickup and 'pickup_stolen' to picup up
items stolen from hero via autopickup, bypassing pickup_types and
autopickup_exceptions like existing 'pickup_thrown'.
This fixes entry commit also fixes the description of pickup_stolen.
Closes#1140
Add pickup_stolen option to autopick items stolen from you by a nymph or
monkey, even if they don't match your normal autopickup settings.
Replace was_dropped, was_thrown with a 2-bit bitfield that can contain
values LOST_DROPPED, LOST_THROWN, and LOST_STOLEN (or 0), since they
should all be mutually exclusive anyway as they track the most recent
way the item left the hero's inventory.
[Rebase/merge conflict fixed up. PR]
This is based on a feature in UnNetHack (and I think some other variants
as well). If the hero intentionally drops an item with 'pickup_dropped'
disabled, don't autopick it back up when walking over that square again.
Typically when the player drops an item, it's because she doesn't want
it in her inventory any more, and this option stops autopickup from
defeating that goal (especially useful for tasks like stash management
without a container). Players have come up with workarounds to this
problem like toggling autopickup when approaching their stash pile or
adding name-based autopickup exceptions to allow them to exclude
individual items from autopickup, but this behavior should reduce the
need for those things.
I think 'pickup_dropped' is a little unfortunate because it suggests
equivalence to 'pickup_thrown' (i.e. any dropped items will be
automatically picked up regardless of autopickup exceptions). Calling
it something like 'nopick_dropped' might be better, but as far as I can
tell options cannot start with the word 'no' because it's interpreted as
a negation of the rest of the option name.
Currently, options.c is the only file that #includes "optlist.h".
In theory, if a source file did want to include optlist.h (perhaps
for the struct allopt_t declaration so they could deal with a
pointer to such a struct), they wouldn't be able to include it
because of a static function prototype that it contains.
Add some protection to only include that static function
prototype when optlist.h is included from options.c.
If the value is "no color&none" report it as "no-color&none" in 'm O'
and for #saveoptions.
Allow "OPTIONS=menu_headings" without any color or attribute value to
mean "no-color&inverse" as it once did before the player could choose
which attribute or color was supported, and matching the default used
when 'menu_headings' hasn't been specified at all.
Accept "OPTIONS=!menu_headings", meaning "no-color&none".
Explicitly reject "OPTIONS=!menu_headings:anything". It was rejecting
that due to blanket rejection of negated option, but reporting "can't
both have a value and be negated" whether there was any value present
or not.
For preselected menu entries when interactively choosing a new value
via the submenu of 'm O', use the current color and attribute rather
than NO_COLOR and ATR_NONE.
Add a new option 'perminv_mode' to augment perm_invent. It handles
the same choices as the temporary TTYINV method: show all items other
than gold, show full inventory including gold, or only show in-use
items (similar to the '*' command).
For tty, both the all-except-gold and full-inventory modes can add
the poorly named 'sparse' variation which populates unused slots in
its fixed grid with the inventory letter that would go in each.
For others, the default has been changed from full-inventory to
all-except-gold. Note that gold is treated as part of 'all' or of
'in-use' if it is quivered because having the amount be shown on the
status line doesn't make that redundant.
Changing the default may mess up WinGUI if it assumes that perm_invent
is full inventory with gold.
Initially I was going to change perm_invent into a compound but this
leaves it as an on/off toggle and adds perminv_mode as a separate
option for how to show the inventory when the toggle is on. It may
make sense to combine them since dual controls is a little confusing,
but right now setting perm_invent On when perminv_mode is 'none'
changes that to 'all' and changing perminv_mode away from 'none' when
perm_invent is Off toggles it to On.
Guidebook.mn has been updated but as usual Guidebook.tex is lagging.
Add a new debugging option, 'montelecontrol', that allows a wizard-
mode player to choose a teleporting monster's destination. If player
picks a bad spot, confirmation will be requested. If accepted, the
spot will be used even though the consequences could be bad; that's
on the player. If rejected, the destination will be assigned as if
no control had been attempted rather than try again.
The fuzzer isn't allowed to override a bad spot if it tries to pick
one. That would probably trigger a sanity_check warning; the fuzzer
causes impossible warnings to behave as if panic, so accepting a bad
spot would just be fuzzer suicide. It is allowed to randomly set the
option and maybe--though extremely unlikely--randomly pick a valid
controlled destination.
Adds a more general way to handle gameplay tips, and adds
a boolean option "tips", which can be used to disable all
tips. Adds a helpful longer message when the game goes
into the "farlook" mode.
Also adds a lua binding to easily show multi-line text
in a menu window.
Breaks save compat.
sound_verbal(char *text, int32_t gender, int32_t tone, int32_t vol,
int32_t moreinfo);
-- NetHack will call this function when it wants to pass text of
spoken language by a character or creature within the game.
-- text is a transcript of what has been spoken.
-- gender indicates MALE or FEMALE sounding voice.
-- tone indicates the tone of the voice.
-- vol is the volume (1% - 100%) for the sound.
-- moreinfo is used to provide additional information to the soundlib.
-- there may be some accessibility uses for this function.
It may be useful for accessibility purposes too.
A preliminary implementation has been attempted for macsound to test
the interface on macOS. No tinkering of the voices has been done.
Use of the test implementation requires the following at build time with make.
WANT_SPEECH=1
That needs to be included on the make command line to enable the test code,
otherwise just the interface update is compiled in.
I don't know for certain when AVSpeechSynthesizer went into macOS, but older versions
likely don't support it, and would just leave off the WANT_SPEECH=1.
If built with WANT_SPEECH=1, the 'voices' NetHack option needs to be enabled.
It was a bit strange, when I first started up the test, to hear Asidonhopo,
the shopkeeper, talking to me as I entered his shop and interacted with him.
sounds can be set in the config file or on the fly with the Options menu.
This also adds a mechanism for specifying a terminology preference
for a boolean option in the options menu.
The choices are: Term_False, Term_Off, Term_Disabled
Term_False, the default, will use the terms "false" and "true" in the
Options menu.
Term_Off will use the terms "off" and "on" in the Options menu.
Term_Disabled will use the terms "disabled" and "enabled" in the Options
menu.
I didn't review any of the existing options to see if one of the new
alternative terms might be a better fit. They were all left at the default.
Groundwork for a more versatile interface for using
sound libraries. A lot of sound libraries work across
multiple platforms.
The current NetHack sound stuff is quite limited.
Binaries can have a variety of window ports linked into
them, and it makes sense to have something similar for
sound.
This tries to set things up in a more soundlib-centric way,
rather than inserting things in a platform-centric way.
It establishes a new top-level directory sound (akin to win
for the window interface routines, or "window-port") where
sound-related additions and sndprocs and support files can be
added and used across platforms.
The default interface is nosound and the 'nosound' interface
is in src/sounds.c
The interface for 'windsound', which contains the same minimal
USER_SOUNDS support using built-in routines that has been in the
windows port for a long time is added to
sound/windsound/windsound.c.
For now, the sound interface support for 'qtsound' has been added
to the existing Qt files win/Qt/qt_bind.h and win/Qt/qt_bind.cpp,
and a note has been placed in sound/qtsound/README.md to avoid
confusion.
New header file added: include/sndprocs.h.
Also includes support by paxed for polearm targeting using the
frame color.
Also renames USE_TILES to TILES_IN_GLYPHMAP which is a more
accurate description.
Not all window interfaces have full support for the color framing
of the background square yet.
MS-DOS needs further work (to bring it to both VESA and VGA, with
and without tiles.
Windows GUI is missing support.
X11 and Qt have been started, but may require further refinement.
