Poly'd hero hiding on the ceiling was told "you can't go down here"
if using '>' at a spot that didn't have down stairs, trap door, hole,
or pit. Let '>' bring a ceiling hider out of hiding; lurker above
resumes flying, piercer falls to floor or whatever is underneath it.
Fix some issues noticed when experimenting with ceiling hiders.
They're all blind (at least without the monks' Eyes) and some of
the behavior while blind seemed to be incorrect (though some that
I thought was wrong turned out to be ok; feel_newsym() won't update
the map if the hero can't reach the floor). Fixing that made me
notice that some terrain side-effects (being underwater or stuck in
lava) weren't getting disabled when the underlying terrain wasn't
the corresponding type anymore.
Handle recently changed armoroff() differently. There should be no
change in behavior.
boots_simple_name(), shield_simple_name(), and shirt_simple_name()
are for no-delay armor types so won't be called by armoroff(). But
they'll undoubtedly get some use in the future.
Developed for 3.6 but deferred to 3.7. Most of the testing was with
the earlier incarnation.
Report was that pronouns were accurate for the underlying monsters
when hallucination was describing something random, and also that the
gender prefix flag from bogusmon.txt wasn't being used. The latter
is still the case, but pronouns are now chosen at random while under
the influence of hallucination. One of the choices is plural and an
attempt is made to make the monster name and verb fit that usage.
|The homunculus picks up a wand of speed monster.
|The large cats zap themselves with a wand of speed monster!
|The blue dragon is suddenly moving faster.
There is no attempt to match gender for the singular cases; you might
get
|The succubus zaps himself [...]
or
|The incubus zaps herself [...]
With 3.7+ aspirations of improving savefile interoperability between 32-bit
and 64-bit builds, as well as between platforms, it is better to not have
the underlying struct/array content be conditional.
This splits off some of the MAIL code into MAIL_STRUCTURES code. In theory,
since MAIL_STRUCTURES is unconditionally included, the macro could
just go away and leave that code unconditional, but this commit doesn't
go that far.
Slippery fingers would transfer from bare hands to gloved hands if
you put gloves on. The reverse, transfering from gloves to bare
hands when taking gloves off, was already being prevented for
directly taking them off, but still allowed the slipperiness to
transfer when gloves were lost. This prevents putting on gloves
when fingers are slippery and attempts to handle cases where gloves
get unworn by ways other than 'T' (or 'R') or 'A'.
There's no slippery attribute for objects (way too much work for too
little value); slippery gloves is just the combination of wearing
gloves and having slippery fingers (which now has to have happened
while already wearing those gloves). This changes inventory to use
"(being worn; slippery)" when applicable and much of the patch deals
with funnelling Glib changes through new make_glib() to try to make
sure that persistent inventory adds or removes "; slippery" right
away when changes happen.
If gloves are taken off involuntarily (shapechange to a form that
can't wear them, destruction via scroll of destroy armor or monster
spell of same or via overenchantment, theft), slippery fingers ends
right away instead of the usual few turns later.
Fix a couple of bugs I stumbled across while testing something else.
The sell prompt for a container dropped in a shop had phrasing issues.
This fixes a couple but there are more. The message composition
assumes that contents fall into two categories: those already owned
by the shop and those the shopkeeper is offering to buy from the hero.
But there is a third: stuff the shopkeeper doesn't care about so
won't buy. The count_contents() routine can supply total contents or
shop-owned contents. Subtracting one from the other yields combined
hero-owned without any way to separate out shk-cares and don't-care.
Rescue some old code from bit rot. It may be useful if the shop
side of things ever gets fixed. (Itemized billing reveals container
contents. I'm sure that it's in the bugzilla list but can't find it.)
and receiving a random amulet instead of an "amulet of <foo>".
Although the failure to produce the 'right' amulet wasn't a regression
compared to earlier versions as the report indicated, supporting that
wish is straightforward.
The wizard mode runtime option 'wizweight' appends an object's weight
to its formatted description, but that was skipped for globs on the
assumption that it had already been included. But that inclusion only
happens in shops so most globs lacked weight feedback.
Hero polymorphed into a vampire or v.lord can use #monster to switch
to vampire bat or fog cloud [or wolf for lord] but it was a one shot
polymorph. Remember when current form is a shape-shifted vampire and
allow #monster in shifted form to pick another shifted form or the
vampire form.
Genocide of the alternate shape forces back to base vampire. Genocide
of base vampire does too, then reverts to human (or dwarf, &c) as
vampires go away. Being killed while shafe-shifted reverts all the
way to human rather than to vampire. [Just realized: interaction
with Unchanging wasn't taken into consideration so hasn't been tested.]
Since 'youmonst' isn't saved and restored, I had to add a field to 'u'
to hold youmonst.cham during save/restore.
Tested with 3.6.2+ and seemed to be working (except saving while
shape-shifted restored as ordinary bat/cloud/wolf because new u.mcham
wasn't there to hold youmonst.cham yet). Builds with 3.7.0- but not
execution tested yet (I didn't want to clobber my current playground).
Changing an inventory item's bknown flag wasn't followed by a call to
update_inventory() in many circumstances, so information which should
have appeared wasn't showing up until some other event triggered an
update.
Make unpaid (shop owned, that is) globs show same weight information
as for-sale globs. And don't treat required arguments to globwt() as
if they were optional.
Preserve temporary fake object's previous dknown value by storing it
as a flag value within the m_ap_type field of the posing monster, and
recalling it when it is needed.
This is intended to help eliminate observable differences in price display
between real objects and mimics posing as objects.
98% of this is just switching the code to utilize macro M_AP_TYPE(mon)
everywhere to ensure that the flag bits are stripped off when needed.
Realized while fixing #H8271: if persistent inventory got an update
while wearing or taking off was in progress (not within user's control
since hero is busy) the item in question was flagged as "(being worn)"
even though it wouldn't be worn if putting on got interrupted. Update
doname() to show "(being donned)" or "(being doffed)" instead of
"(being worn)" when corresponding operation is in progress. (During
testing, I was able to observe "being doffed" but never managed to see
"being donned".)
