Changes to setuhpmax() a couple of days ago to deal with sanity_check
for "current hero health as monster better than maximum" ended up
triggering sanity_check about "current hero health better than maximum"
when gaining experience level(s) while polymorphed.
I've been investigating issue #1252 (while the fuzzer was running,
sanity_check complained that hero's current health was greater
than maximum health) off and on for three months and haven't found
the cause.
I've checked all the places that lower maximum HP that I've managed
to find, but not spent much time looking for places that raise
current HP.
These changes might provide some more information. They don't rely
on sanity_check being enabled.
Issue #1252 is still open.
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.
Examples: gi.invent, gm.migrating_objs, gb.billobjs, gm.migrating_mons,
gf.ftrap, gl.light_base, gt.timer_base
Previously reported via github pull request #1188 as an out of bounds
access to u.uhpinc[], followed by issue #1189 when it was closed, the
backtrace accompanying new assertion failure provided more information
that led to figuring out the problem.
Only mattered for the debug fuzzer; wouldn't happen in regular play.
When the hero dies during fuzzing, the fuzzer sometimes restores lost
levels via blessed potion of restore ability. If that happened to a
hero who died by being life-drained while at level 1 then losexp()'s
assumption that life-saved hero was still level 1 got violated. If
levels had been lost all the way down from a peak of 30, restoration
to u.ulevel==30 resulted in invalid array indexing into u.uhpinc[],
then failure of 'assert(u.ulevel >= 0 && u.ulevel < MAXULEV)' which
was added to avoid that.
Pull request #1188 and issue #1189 are already closed, but they hadn't
actually been solved yet.

With sounds on, using #levelchange to drop more than one level only
gave the level-loss sound effect once. Level-gain sound was better
because the more verbose messaging triggered --More-- before moving
on. Have both gain and loss use urgent_pline() in case messages
are being suppressed due to ESC, and have both request --More-- to
make the player acknowledge the message. That has a side-effect of
letting the sound play to conclusion.
Start to add supporting code to windsound and macsound. The latter
remains commented out because I haven't had a chance to try
it on macOS yet.
In order to test it out, I added two more stock sounds:
sa2_xplevelup and sa2_xpleveldown.
The consolidation of global variables from scattered source
files into decl.c and declared in decl.h was begun in 3.7.0.
Their placement in common files was done for centralized
initialization and potential re-initialization during a
"play again" scenario.
It wasn't really necessary for all of them to be housed in a
single huge structure to meet the "play again" requirement,
and the single huge structure has been a little unwieldy when
it comes to maintenance.
Following this commit, instead of one single extremely large structure
named 'g' to house all of the relocated global variables, they
are distributed into several ga through gz.
To make things easy for the developer, each variable is placed
into the struct corresponding to the starting letter of the variable.
That way, no lookup is required in order to know which struct houses
a particular variable, it is a simple match to the starting letter
for all the centralized global variables.
A global variable named 'amulets', would be found in ga.
ga.amulets
^ ^
A global varable named 'move', would be found in gm.
gm.moves
^ ^
A global variable named 'val_for_n_or_more' would be found in gv.
gv.val_for_n_or_more
^ ^
A global variable named 'youmonst' would be found in gy.
gy.youmonst

One of the drivers of this change was that screen coordinates require a
type that can hold values greater than 127. Parameters to the window
port routines require a large type in order to be able to have values
a fair bit larger than COLNO and ROWNO passed to them, particularly for
their use to the right of the map window.
This splits the uses of xchar into 3 different situations, and adjusts
their type and size:
xchar
|
-----------------------
| | |
coordxy xint16 xint8
coordxy: Actual x or y coordinates for various things (moved to 16-bits).
xint16: Same data size as coordxy, but for non-coordinate use (16-bits).
xint8: There are only a few use cases initially, where it was very
plain to see that the variable could remain as 8-bits, rather
than be bumped to 16-bits. There are probably more such cases
that could be changed after additional review.
Note: This first changed all xchar variables to coordxy. Some were
reviewed and got changed to xint16 or xint8 when it became apparent that
their usage was not for coordinates.
This increments EDITLEVEL in patchlevel.h
Life-saving has been setting u.uhpmax to max(2 * u.ulevel, 10)
and if it took place during level drain that could make u.uhpmax
increase instead of decrease, confusing healing which gets applied
to a monster who has drained the hero with Stormbringer or the
Staff of Aesculapius. Change the setting to be max(u.ulevel, 10)
(removing the times two part) and also have level drain force it
to be set back to previous value if/when it gets increased.
Max HP loss due to strength trying to drop below 3 or to fire trap
or to being hit by Death now uses a mininum max HP of u.ulevel
rather than 1. They don't have the alternate minimum of 10; I'm
uneasy that there are still two different minimum values.
I changed adjattrib() to set the flag to request a status update
before it gave its optional message rather than after so that the
new characteristic value would be visible during the message. That
resulted in not updating status when eating royal jelly changed HP
or max HP after boosting strength. But the same missing update
would have occurred--or rather, failed to occur--without the change
in sequencing if the strength boost causes a change in encumbrance.
The livelog message for losing a level had an off-by-1 error, showing
the level the hero ended up at rather than the level that was lost.
There was a message for regaining a previously lost level when rank
title stayed the same but no such message if the title changed (the
achievement of gaining a particular title only occurs once).
Say "regained" rather than "gained" when gaining a previously lost
level. (Blessed potions of full healing regain levels but can also
reduce u.ulevelmax so a different way to remember peak experience
level has been added.)
Report level change due to polymorphing into new man/woman/elf/&c.
I hadn't realized that that hasn't been recording achievement for new
rank when applicable and decided to leave things that way.
Report gender change when putting on an amulet of change or becoming
a new man/&c unless hero is polymorphed at the time or experience
level is also changing.
Log all level gains and loses. For the existing logging of changes
in rank, mention the level number with the new title. Classifying
level loss as "minor achievement" seems weird but I didn't see any
choice more appropriate.
Make '#chronicle' autocomplete. That makes "#ch" ambiguous, but
better to have to type #cha to chat than to have to completely spell
out #chronicle. (Changing it to #journal would make #j ambigious
but might still be an improvement.)
The priest/cleric quest provides unlimited wraiths and a player
(not a robot with limitless patience) posting on reddit gave up
building up his character by killing them and eating the corpses
after accumulating 40K HP and 20K En. (Or something close to that;
I can't get back to the post right now.) His character might have
been capable of surviving decapitation or bisection.
Make it very much harder to get to 5 digits of HP or En via level
gains after reaching level 30. If maxhp < 300, new gains will be
capped at 5 extra HP; 300..599, cap is 4; 600..899, cap is 3;
900..1199, cap is 2; and once 1200 is reached, further level gains
will only add 1 HP. For maxen < 200, extra En is capped at 4;
200..399, cap is 3; 400..599, cap is 2; and once 600 is reached,
further gains only add 1 En. Note: this only kicks in when gaining
levels while already at level 30.
Keep track of the highest value that u.uhpmax and u.uenmax have
attained, in new u.uhppeak and u.uenpeak. They aren't used for
anything yet. u.mhmax (max HP while polymorphed) isn't interesting
enough to track.
Not save and bones compatible so increments EDITLEVEL.
level-drained below level 1. No "you die" or equivalent, just
straight to being life-saved or to "do you want your possessions
identifed?". Change it to issue "Goodbye level 1." The fact
that it is has been fatal will become obvious. An issue comment
on github pointed out where the fix was needed.
Fixes#511
add MALE, FEMALE, and gender-neutral names for individual monster species
to the mons array. The gender-neutral name (NEUTRAL) is mandatory, the
MALE and FEMALE versions are not.
replace code uses of the mname field of permonst with one of the three
potentially-available gender-specific names.
consolidate some separate mons entries that differed only by species into a
single mons entry (caveman, cavewoman and priest,priestess etc.)
consolidate several "* lord" and "* queen/* king" monst entries into
their single species, and allow both genders on some where it makes some
sense (there is probably more work and cleanup to come out of this at some
point, and the chosen gender-neutral name variations are not cast in stone
if someone has better suggestions).
related function or macro additions:
pmname(pm, gender) to get the gender variation of the permonst name. It
guards against monsters that haven't got anything except NEUTRAL naming
and falls back to the NEUTRAL version if FEMALE and MALE versions are
missing.
Ugender to obtain the current hero gender.
Mgender(mtmp) to obtain the gender of a monster
While the code can safely refer directly to pmnames[NEUTRAL] safely in the
code because it always exists, the other two (pmnames[MALE] and
pmnames[FEMALE] may not exist so use:
pmname(ptr, gidx)
where -ptr is a permonst *
-gidx is an index into the pmnames array field of the
permonst struct
pmname() checks for a valid index and checks for null-pointers for
pmnames[MALE] and pmnames[FEMALE], and will fall back to pmnames[NEUTRAL] if
the pointer requested if the requested variation is unavailable, or if the
gidx is out-of-range.
Allow code to specify makemon flags to request female or male (via MM_MALE
and MM_FEMALE flags respectively)to makedefs, since the species alone doesn't
distinguish male/female anymore. Specifying MM_MALE or MM_FEMALE won't
override the pm M2_MALE and M2_FEMALE flags on a mons[] entry.
male and female tiles have been added to win/share/monsters.txt.
The majority are duplicated placeholders except for those that were
separate mons entries before. Perhaps someone will contribute artwork in the
future to make the male and female variations visually distinguishable.
tilemapping via has the MALE tile indexes in the glyph2tile[]
array produced at build time. If a window port has information that the
FEMALE tile is required, it just has to increment the index returned
from the glyph2tile[] array by 1.
statues already preserved gender of the monster through STATUE_FEMALE
and STATUE_MALE, so ensure that pmnames takes that into consideration.
I expect some refinement will be required after broad play-testing puts it to
the test.
consolidate caveman,cavewoman and priest,priestess monst.c entries etc
This commit will require a bump of editlevel in patchlevel.h because it alters
the index numbers of the monsters due to the consolidation of some. Those
index numbers are saved in some other structures, even though the mons[] array
itself is not part of the savefile.
Window Port Interface Change
Also add a parameter to print_glyph to convey additional information beyond
the glyph to the window ports. Every single window port was calling back to
mapglyph for the information anyway, so just included it in the interface and
produce the information right in the display core.
The mapglyph() function uses will be eliminated, although there are still some
in the code yet to be dealt with.
win32, tty, x11, Qt, msdos window ports have all had adjustments done to
utilize the new parameter instead of calling mapglyph, but some of those
window ports have not been thoroughly tested since the changes.
Interface change additional info:
print_glyph(window, x, y, glyph, bkglyph, *glyphmod)
-- Print the glyph at (x,y) on the given window. Glyphs are
integers at the interface, mapped to whatever the window-
port wants (symbol, font, color, attributes, ...there's
a 1-1 map between glyphs and distinct things on the map).
-- bkglyph is a background glyph for potential use by some
graphical or tiled environments to allow the depiction
to fall against a background consistent with the grid
around x,y. If bkglyph is NO_GLYPH, then the parameter
should be ignored (do nothing with it).
-- glyphmod provides extended information about the glyph
that window ports can use to enhance the display in
various ways.
unsigned int glyphmod[NUM_GLYPHMOD]
where:
glyphmod[GM_TTYCHAR] is the text characters associated
with the original NetHack display.
glyphmod[GM_FLAGS] are the special flags that denote
additional information that window
ports can use.
glyphmod[GM_COLOR] is the text character
color associated with the original
NetHack display.
Support for including the glyphmod info in the display glyph buffer
alongside the glyph itself was added and is the default operation.
That can be turned off by defining UNBUFFERED_GLYPHMOD at compile time.
With UNBUFFERED_GLYPHMOD operation, a call will be placed to map_glyphmod()
immediately prior to every print_glyph() call.
Record reaching experience level 3, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, and 30,
the levels where the character gets a new rank title, and report
those as achievements at end of game. These achievements persist
even if enough levels to lose a rank are lost, and if lost ranks
are regained the original achievement is the one that gets tracked
and disclosed.
Eliminate the cache that was supporting rndmonst() and pick a random
monster in a single pass through mons[] via "weighted reservoir
sampling", a term I'm not familiar with.
It had a couple of bugs: if the first monster examined happened to
be given a weighting of 0, rn2() would divide by 0. I didn't try
to figure out how to trigger that. But the second one was easy to
trigger: if all eligible monsters were extinct or genocided, it
would issue a warning even though the situation isn't impossible.
Aside from fixing those, the rest is mostly as-is. I included a bit
of formatting in decl.c, moved some declarations to not require C99,
and changed a couple of macros to not hide and duplicate a call to
level_difficulty().
Fixes#286
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.
Extend support for highlight rules that specify percentages from HP
and spell power to experience level and experience points. For both
of those, the percentage is based on progress from the start of the
current Xp level to the start of the next Xp level. 100% isn't
possible so is used to enable highlighting a special case: 1 point
shy of next level, most likely to occur after losing a level.
This is something I had in mind a long time ago and then forgot all
about until fiddling with the final disclosure of experience points
recently. It turned out to be trickier than expected because it needs
to check whether Xp should have a status update when it hasn't changed
but Exp has gone up. The latter might hit a percentage threshold that
switches to another highlight rule. Fortunately changes to Exp, at
least that aren't part of level gain or loss (which always trigger
status updating), are all funnelled through a single place (I hope).
I've noticed (with curses interface) that there are a lot of
update_status(BL_FLUSH) calls when nothing on the status lines
has changed. It happens while just wondering around, not due to
deliberate botlx update. This eliminates one of the causes.
Updating hero's experience points or score (via u.urexp) was
requesting a bottom lines refresh even if the relevant options to
see those changed values was off. The botl code would send a flush
directive even though nothing visible was modified. (I have a fix
for that too, but am holding back while hoping to find some of the
other causes of unnecessary botl requests.)
Stop pretending that long and int are the same size when picking status
highlight rule for gold or time or experience-points.
Also, K&R compilation might lack <limits.h>, so let XXXconf.h define the
necessary macro(s) (currently just LONG_MAX) so that it can be skipped.
Add a new line for one last missing status field: gold.
Also add one for proficiency with current weapon.
Move a few lines from 'characteristics' to 'background' and a few
more from 'characteristics' to new 'basics', leaving characteristics
with the six original characteristics: Str, Con, Dec, &c.
Right now, the punishment for being hit more than twice by a level
drainer pre-Quest is disproportionate; grinding back up to level
14 from level 13 takes a long time, and yet isn't particularly
difficult, just slow, and a potion of full healing will only
regain one of the lost levels (as only half the lost levels can
be regained this way).
Meanwhile, potions of restore ability are currently automatically
blanked by almost all spoiled players; they don't do anything that
doesn't have more convenient sources (unicorn horn or the spell),
so they're only useful in the very early game for getting poison
resistance.
This commit aims to fix both problems, by allowing potions of
restore ability to restore lost experience levels, in addition to
lost attribute points; an uncursed potion restores one lost level
(with multiple potions making it possible to hit the cap), a
blessed potion restores all of them. That gives players an
incentive to keep them around rather than blanking them. (Notably,
the spell and tool were not changed the same way; for restoring
levels, you need to use the potion.)
I'll push a formatting guide at some point. There may still be
outstanding changes, but please feel free to resolve those as you arrive
a them.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no changes to the actual code
content, but the formatter does have the occasional bug. If you run into
an issue, please fix it!
