Any sort of iron footwear now protects from traps, and polymorph
traps change one sort of iron footwear into a different sort of
iron footwear (removing any incentive to try to farm them, because
you will see both options very quickly).
It takes time for an early-game monster to acclimatize itself to the
power of an attack wand: in much the same way as a nervous human may
quite possibly miss with their first attempt to use a gun in combat,
an early-game monster will always miss on its first use of an attack
wand (but from then on will understand how they work and get over
their nerves, and will hit as normal).
This is a balance change based on observed results from tournaments:
guarding against deaths to early-game attack wands requires an
unusually cautious playstyle which isn't much fun (and might not
always be possible even for the best players), so it is quite common
for them to be the cause of random deaths that it wasn't worth trying
to avoid. Although trying to dodge a monster who found an attack wand
is fun, you only actually get that fun if something makes you aware
of the danger: the monster missing with the wand is a clear way to
demonstrate the danger and let the player know that now is the right
time to take precautions.
This change could theoretically have broken saves, but probably
doesn't due to there having been a spare bit in struct monst. Just
in case, it is being pushed together with other save-breaking changes
to avoid the need for multiple bumps to EDITLEVEL.
Give feedback if a visible monster drinks a potion of invisibility
that happens to be cursed so monster fails to become invisible, or if
hero hits a visible monster with a cursed potion of invisibility and
it fails to become invisible.
Extend the recently changed behavior for cursed potion of invisibility.
Monsters won't drink potions of invisibility if already invisible so
can't accidentally or voluntarily make themselves visible again, but
let player make them become visible by hitting them with thrown or
wielded cursed potion of invisibility.
They don't have any concept of temporary invisibility that might let
them remain invisible while losing permanent invisibility, so they
just lose the latter and immediately become visible.
Return a couple of variables that actually held a direction back
to int from coordxy.
bhit() takes int params instead of coordxy.
boomhit() takes int params instead of coordxy.
xytod() renamed to xytodir(), and takes int params (promotion will handle
coordxy params).
dtoxy(coord *, int) renamed to dirtocoord(coord *, int).
This fixes a couple of bugs: a long-standing bug in which writing a
scroll by label could fail even if you've already seen a scroll with
that label (due to the game not tracking whether or not you've seen a
scroll if it doesn't have a name); and a somewhat newer bug in which
spellbooks auto-identified by Wizard knowledge were marked as having
been encountered (rather than as known but not encountered).
Breaks save file compatibility, but not bones files.
This is the second of a series of changes related to save/restore.
No EDITLEVEL bump has been included, because although the code
is changed extensively by this, the content of the savefiles have
not been changed.
Push the use of the structlevel bwrite() and mread() function use
out of the core and into sfstruct.c. This is groundwork for upcoming
changes.
In the core, replace the bwrite() and mread() calls with the
use of type-specific savefile output (Sfo) and savefile
input (Sfi) macros. The macros are defined in a new header file
savefile.h, which also contains the prototypes for the sfo_* and
sfi_* functions that the macros ultimately expand to. The functions
themselves are in src/sfbase.c.
On C99, each Sfo or Sfi macro expansion refers directly to the
corresponding type-specific sfo_* or sfi_* function.
If C23 or later is is use, the majority (all but 3 types) of the
macros refer to a single _Generic output routine sfo(nhfp, dt, tag),
and a single _Generic input routine sfi(nhfp, dt, tag), which handles
the dispatch of the type-specific underlying functions. This was
somewhat experimental, but turned out to be practical because the
compiler would gripe if the type for a variable was not included in
the _Generic when passed as an argument, so it could be fixed.
This alters the savefile verication process by having a common set
return values for the related functions such as uptodate(),
check_version(), etc. The new return values return more information
about savefile incompatibilities, beyond failure/sucess. The
additional information will be useful for an upcoming addition.
The expanded return values are:
SF_UPTODATE (0) everything matched and looks good
SF_OUTDATED (1) savefile is outdated
SF_CRITICAL_BYTE_COUNT_MISMATCH (2) critical size count mismatch
SF_DM_IL32LLP64_ON_ILP32LL64 (3) Windows x64 savefile on x86
SF_DM_I32LP64_ON_ILP32LL64 (4) Unix 64 savefile on x86
SF_DM_ILP32LL64_ON_I32LP64 (5) x86 savefile on Unix 64
SF_DM_ILP32LL64_ON_IL32LLP64 (6) x86 savefile on Windows x64
SF_DM_I32LP64_ON_IL32LLP64 (7) Unix 64 savefile on Windows x64
SF_DM_IL32LLP64_ON_I32LP64 (8) Windows x64 savefile on Unix 64
SF_DM_MISMATCH (9) some other mismatch
The callers in the core have been adjusted to deal with the expanded
return values.
Other miscellaneous inclusions:
- go.oracle_loc -> svo.oracle_loc.
- add a bit (1UL << 30) to called SFCTOOL_BIT as groundwork
for changes to follow.
Overzealous change yesterday. For use_defensive(), the unicorn
horn case already has guards for Null item and the added one
issues bogus panic() when a unicorn or ki-rin uses its own horn.
Previously, the code for monster healing was repeated every time it
was needed; this commit sends it all through a common function, which
will make it easier to make changes to how monster healing works in
the future.
This is just a code reorganisation and won't have any gameplay
effect unless I made a mistake.
- Add a vision sanity checking routine
- Recalc block point when digging a door for temporary clouds
- Add recalc_block_point after cvt_sdoor_to_door, because doorways
on the Rogue level have no doors, and otherwise the sanity checking
would complain. This doesn't actually change how the Rogue level
vision works, as it uses a different vision system
- Monster using a trap in a secret corridor revealed the corridor,
but didn't unblock the vision unless you saw the location
GitHub 1343 report by @ars3niy:
"When you are blind and see with telepathy a monster whom you then hear read
a scroll, said monster turns into an "I". While it reveals which one exactly
read the scroll, it is strange that you can no longer see it with telepathy
until it moves to another square."
Fixes#1343
gcc has recognized various "magic comments" for white-listing
occurrences of implicit fallthrough in switch statements for
a long time:
The range and shape of "falls through" comments accepted are
contingent upon the level of the warning. (The default level is =3.)
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=0 disables the warning altogether.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=1 treats any kind of comment as a "falls through" comment.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=2 essentially accepts any comment that contains something
that matches (case insensitively) "falls?[ \t-]*thr(ough|u)" regular expression.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 case sensitively matches a wide range of regular
expressions, listed in the GCC manual. E.g., all of these are accepted:
/* Falls through. */
/* fall-thru */
/* Else falls through. */
/* FALLTHRU */
/* ... falls through ... */
etc.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=4 also, case sensitively matches a range of regular
expressions but is much more strict than level =3.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 doesn't recognize any comments.
Plenty of other compilers did not recognize the gcc comment convention,
and up until now the compiler warning for detecting unintended
fallthrough had to be suppressed on other compilers. That's because the code
in NetHack has been relying on the gcc approach, and only the gcc approach.
The C23 standard introduces an attribute [[fallthrough]] for the
functionality, when implicit fallthrough warnings have been enabled.
Several popular compilers already support that, or a very similar attribute
style approach, today, even ahead of their C23 support:
C compiler whitelist approach
--------------------------- -------------------------------------
C23 conforming compilers [[fallthrough]]
clang versions supporting
standards prior to
C23 __attribute__((__fallthrough__))
Microsoft Visual Studio
since VS 2022 17.4.
The warning C5262 controls
whether the implict
fallthrough is detected and
warned about with
/std:clatest. [[fallthrough]]
This adds support to NetHack for the attribute approach by inserting a
macro FALLTHROUGH to the existing cases that require white-listing, so
other compilers can analyze things too.
The definition of the FALLTHROUGH macro is controlled in include/tradstdc.h.
The gcc comment approach has also been left in place at this time.
The g? structs had a mix of variables that were written to
the savefile, and those that were not.
For better clarity and to distinguish those that end up in
the savefile, relocate some g? variables that get written
directly to the savefile into different structs.
This updates EDITLEVEL, although technically it probably
didn't need to, since savefile contents are not changing.

Related note:
There are some pointer variables that are heads of chains that were not
moved from 'g?' to 'sv?', because they are not actually written to the
savefile directly, but the objects/monst/trap/lightsource/timer in the
chains they point to are. That can be changed, if desired.

Some code to stop a monster's zap of a wand of striking short if it
gets destroyed by hitting and destroying a drawbridge is no longer
needed with the new deferred obj deletion.
A monster zapped a wand of striking, hitting a burning potion
of oil, which destroyed items in the same square, and the ray was
checking destroyed item. Similar thing with a ray done by hero.
The code currently stops checking the objects in the location
if a next object in the chain was destroyed - an improvement
would be to gather all the objects into an array and iterate
over that instead of relying on the nexthere pointer.
Pull request by elunna with assistance by entrez tried to fix up
wand of striking discovery when the wand is zapped by a monster.
The fix didn't match the intended behavior (which may or may not be
the desired behavior...), so this skips the code in the pull request.
[I can't post comments on github anymore since I declined to switch
to their 2-factor authentication. But I can still read submissions
without logging in.]
This also tries to fix a couple of inconsistencies between zapping
by the hero versus by a monster. If the zap "boinged" :-) due to
target's magic resistance, zap by hero didn't discover the wand but
zap by monster did. Conversely, a zap by the hero that reached a
target and missed did discover it but one by a monster did not.
Now a zap of not-yet-discovered wand of striking by the hero which
hits, whether or not the hit gets resisted, will become discovered
provided that the spot where target is hit can be seen (the target
itself need not be), and one which misses or which can't be seen
hitting something will no longer be.
Supersedes #1223Closes#1223
Monsters were using escape items when they couldn't move due to
being surrounded by other monsters. This was most evident in
Fort Ludios, where the alarm woke up all the monsters and they
would then read all the teleport scrolls.
Usually this doesn't matter, as special rooms full of monsters
are asleep.
Hardcode this fix for the Ludios only, otherwise you could trap
two monsters next to each other in a boulder fort, and they
would be happy to stay in there...
Reverse part of commit 8b5e9eadb1.
Shouldn't use get_obj_location(obj,...) to try to figure out if obj
has been deleted. That routine uses obj->where rather than scanning
the various object lists and doing that when obj has been deleted
would access stale memory.
A zap from a wand of striking shouldn't hit a drawbridge if it is
just passing over the span's spot when the bridge is closed. This
change matches the 3.7 behavior when the zap is performed by the hero.
It does hit if passing over that same spot when the bridge is open or
if it hits the portcullis spot whether open or closed.
Also, simplify the handling for the wand's destruction. It still
ends the zap early if that happens even though logically the rest of
the zap range should still be targetted.
Report was for an impossible "What an interesting effect (%d)" which
the fuzzer turned into a panic. Monster on the drawbridge zapped
toward the open portcullis, destroying the bridge and killing itself.
Wand was made of wood and burned up in lava under the fallen span.
Freeing the object zeroed it rather than leaving stale data, and the
zap continued while referencing freed memory that looked like it had
type STRANGE_OBJECT, triggering the impossible.
This will make a monster-induced zap stop early if a drawbridge
incident destroys the wand. That isn't the best possible fix
because the zap should continue despite the wand's destruction, but
at least it will now avoid triggering "intestsing effect".
If a monster fled from the hero by intentionally jumping into a vault
teleporter located in a niche which was still hidden and the hero
saw it happen, the trap would be mapped but the niche would remain as
a secret corridor spot. The hero couldn't move onto the trap until
searching or wall kicking or other map disclosing activity converted
the spot into regular corridor.
Trap doors in hidden niches did already change the secret corridor
into normal corridor to unhide the trap's spot, but only if the hero
saw it happen. Now the terrain change occurs even if hero doesn't
see it; only mapping the trap depends on that.
While testing the fix, I noticed that a monster jumping onto a vault
teleporter was teleporting randomly rather than being sent to the
vault, unlike when triggering such a trap by accident. The code has
changed for 3.7 but this bug was already present in earlier versions.
Issue reported by elunna: hero witnessing a wand of striking being
zapped by a monster didn't have that type of wand become discovered.
Monsters observing hero resisting--or failing to resist--the effect
on hero didn't learn about target's current resistance capability.
Barely tested.
Fixes#1157
cg.zeroobj was originally added (under its previous unprefixed name)
for providing a one-line way to zero out the fields of a struct obj.
struct obj tempobj;
tempobj = cg.zeroobj;
initfn(struct obj *otmp)
{
if (otmp)
*otmp = cg.zeroobj;
}
More recently, the address of cg.zeroobj began to be used as a return
flag to indicate some things, but the 'const struct obj zeroobj' wasn't
an ideal fit for the purpose and required a number of casts, including
casting away const.
Provide a better fitting variable (gi.invalid_obj) and eliminate a
number of casts.
