It's a minor annoyance when you forget you can't do this in vanilla and
then get relocated somewhere random on the level. Since it's not a
harmful "trap", just allow the adventurer to teleport directly onto it.
Something I noticed in the hardfought diff what looked interesting.
Unfortunately the most interesting bit turns out to be unuseable.
Display high altars (Moloch's Sanctum and the Astral Plane) in
bright-magenta and unaligned altars (aside from the Sanctum one) in
red. Hardfought's code also uses white for lawful, gray for neutral,
and black for chaotic, matching the unicorn colors associated with
the alignments. But those colors don't render in a reliable fashion
(see the comment in mapglyph.c) and become confusing about why they're
used for altars of particular alignments.
When picking up from floor or removing from container fails because
there aren't any inventory slots available, pickup/take-out stops.
But the message
|Your knapsack can't accomodate any more items.
is inaccurate if there is gold beyond the stopping point. Actually
continuing in order to pickup/take-out gold would require substantial
changes, but varying the message to be
|Your knapsack can't accomodate any more items (except gold).
when stopping is a one line fix. The parenthesized remark is only
added if there is actually some gold after the current object and is
given regardless of whether autopickup happens to be targetting it.
Fixes#246
Add "Gateway to Moloch's Sanctum" to the vibrating square level if you
step on the square or detect/magic map it as a pseudo-trap, an extra
hint for players who manage to get that far but then don't know what
to do next. (I think I may also add a randomly placed floor engraving
along the lines of "For a good time, consult the Oracle of Delphi."
as a gag variant of "For a good time, call <name> at <phone number>."
Not very thematic for Gehennom but could conceivably nudge someone in
the right direction. But it could give away the level for experienced
players who haven't located the vibrating square yet.)
The annotation sticks until the one for "Moloch's Sanctum" gets added.
That happens when the temple on the sanctum level is entered or the
altar there has become mapped (in view or via magic mapping).
Could break existing 3.7.0- save files (but probably won't, since
at least two bits were available unless using an ancient 'Bitfield()
allocates whole bytes' configuration). That's the reason I didn't
put this into 3.6.2+.
Seven year old suggestion was to have a killer bee eat royal jelly if
there was no queen around, then after a short delay it would become a
queen. This does that, with "no queen around" being "no queen bee on
current dungeon level" and the transformation happening immediately
with the "short delay" taking place after.
Pet killer bees will target nearby royal jelly if there's no queen,
hostile killer bees will only eat it if they happen to walk on the
same spot as one. Both types accept either tame or hostile queen bee
as an existing queen.
Killer bees eating royal jelly will drop dead if queen bees have been
genocided, and aren't smart enough to avoid the instinct to eat such
if/when that happens to be the situation.
this display-support for a 3.6.1 feature was originally committed
to master but it might as well accompany the 3.6 line changes
that are already there.
