When paying for shop door or wall damage, if the entire amount was
covered by shop credit then impossible "zero payment in money2mon"
would occur as the shop code tried to transfer 0 zorkmids from hero
to shopkeeper after using credit to pay.
There are two ways to enable curses in the build. Either set the
environment variable PDCURSES to a folder containing a PDCurses repository
OR place the PDCurses folder alongside the NetHack source repository.
Clean up quite a bit of minor things found with simple grep patterns:
operator at end of continued line instead of beginning of continuation
(and a few comments which produced false matches, so that they won't
do so next time), trailing spaces (only one or two of those), tabs (a
dozen or so of those), several casts which didn't have a space between
the type and the expression (I wasn't systematic about finding these).
I think the only code change was in the function for the help command.
If bogusmon, engrave, epitaph, oralces, or rumors won't open, assume
it's because the file is missing so don't have impossible() tack on
"saving and restoring might fix this" when telling the player.
(Missing rumors or oracles previously only used pline() rather than
impossible() so this hadn't been an issue for them. Now it would be.)
Apparently I exited emacs without saving and the revised vmsbuild.com
ended up as a backup file that 'git nhadd' wouldn't see. This was
supposed to be included in the patch committed several hours ago....
Map back buffer work is done eliminating all flickering caused by
clears of the front buffer during partial updates.
Implemented a cursor blink in both ascii and tile modes.
Fixed bug where we would lose fit to screen when entering rogue level.
New-ish files 'engrave', 'epitaph', and 'bogusmon' added for 3.6.0
were not handled by playground setup. NetHack runs without them so
limited testing didn't notice.
Add 'makedefs -s' to build them and include them in installed files.
Also, remove 'makedefs -m' and obsolete monstr.c.
When running NetHack.exe in a console set to code page 850, the
multi-byte to wide character mapping will generate unicode values
in the unicode control code range. These values need to be re-mapped
to unicode renderable glyphs using the same mappings we use for
control page 437 otherwise the console font might not render a character
for these unicode control values.
a stale gold symbol could be displayed on the status line following a switch
to a new symset, as observed and reported for Windows RogueEpyx symset.
An update is required for gold in the status line for a change to
any of the following:
context.rndencode value
the encoded glyph value for COIN_CLASS
the gold amount
I was experimenting with some potential changes to menu searching but
have not been satisfied with the result. However, this bit of code
consolidation is worthwhile regardless of that.
