Pull request #330 would add "ec2" ("ec2-user" after dash and whatever
follows has been stripped off) to GENERICUSERS for Amazon Linux. Now
that dashes-in-username handling has been fixed, that doesn't need to
be obscure and the full user name can be included instead.
I also added a commented out entry for PORTABLE_DEVICE_PATHS to the
default sysconf, then cloned that for Windows' sysconf.template.
Fixes#330
combine boolean and compound options into a single allopt[] array for
processing in options.c.
move the definitions of the options into new include/optlist.h file which
uses a set of macros to define them appropriately.
during compile of options.c each option described in include/optlist.h:
1. automatically results in a function prototype for an optfn called
optfn_xxxx (xxxx is the option name).
2. automatically results in an opt_xxxx enum value for referencing
its index throughout options.c (xxxx is the option name).
3. is used to initialize an element of the allopt[] array at index
opt_xxxx (xxxx is the option name) based on the settings in the
NHOPTB, NHOPTC, NHOPTP macros. Those macros only live during the
compilation of include/optlist.h.
each optfn_xxxx() function can be called with a req id of: do_init, do_set,
get_val or do_handler.
req do_init is called from options_init, and if initialization or memory
allocation or other initialization for that particular option is needed,
it can be done in response to the init req.
req do_set is called from parseoptions() for each option it encounters
and the optfn_xxxx() function is expected to react and set the option
based on the string values that parseoptions() passes to it.
req get_val expects each optfn_xxxx() function to write the current
option value into the buffer it is passed.
req do_handler is called during doset() operations in response to player
selections most likely from the 'O' option-setting menu, but only if the
option is identified as having do_handler support in the allopts[]
'has_handler' boolean flag. Not every optfn_xxxx() does.
function special_handling() is eliminated. It's code has been redistributed
to individual handler functions for the option or purpose that they serve.
moved reglyph_darkroom() function from options.c to display.c
There are two executables int the windows binary, each of which
have different options and capabilities. Sharing of one dat/options
file hasn't really been an accurate approach.
Produce that information dynamically for the Windows exe files.
This impacts alt-v results.
recover had deviated somewhat from NetHack in its
file expectations:
1) A couple of 3.7 fields needed to be accommodated.
2) hard-coded file size values had deviated.
The file sizes are now in an added header file named "filesize.h",
which is included at the bottom of config.h.
There will likely be another commit to write the filename size ahead
of the file name so that the precise number of characters can be read,
but since that will break existing saves, it can go in along with another
save-breaking commit.
This commit doesn't not alter savefiles written by nethack so does not
require an editlevel bump. It does alter the read-in expectation in
recover to match the game and this get recover working again.
Attempt to test whether Lua fetch succeeded (and pdcurses for windows
and msdos as well)
If those prerequisite fetches and untars didn't work, just exit without
marking the travis-ci build as a failure so that the development team
isn't notified about something transient that they don't need to fix
in the code.
Allow a way to configure NetHack to run entirely from a USB stick
or other removable device in a way that allows everything to
reside entirely on the USB stick, and nothing on the computer's
hard drive. That could be done in versions prior to 3.6.3.
Sample:
i: is a USB stick
i:\nhdist contains the NetHack Windows distribution and a sysconf
file dropped into that distribution with the following entry in it:
portable_device_top = nethack
No device is included in the portable_device_top entry, the device
is always the device that the nethack exe resides on. If you try
to specify a device in the portable_device_top path, the device
portion will be ignored.
portable_device_top specifies the folder on the device that is writable
by NetHack and as such it cannot be the same folder that the executable
resides in.

Without that sysconf file in the NetHack distribution folder on the

return to the default locations for 3.6.3 on Windows:

New procedures added to win/win32/vs2017/travisci.sh for travis-ci testing.
- use curl to obtain Lua from http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
- use tar to unzip lua into lib/lua-5.3.5/...
Note: curl and tar were both added as part of Windows 10 in late Dec 2017
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Containers/Tar-and-Curl-Come-to-Windows/ba-p/382409
- use git to clone pdcurses into lib/pdcurses
- use git to clone universal-ctags into lib/ctags
- build universal-ctags ahead of building NetHack + lua + pdcurses
- adjust sys/winnt/Makefile.msc to look for those things in their lib locations when
building under travis
the prompting on Windows wasn't working correctly if a prior game had crashed
and the self-recover feature was trying to kick in. This impacts tty, curses,
and mswin (GUI).
