Some variants were already using a similar approach
using a struct called 'ebones', so adopt the same naming
so NetHack-3.7, hardfought, and some variants are using
the same name.
As before there are fields in the struct that are not
currently used by NetHack-3.7, but the intent is that
hardfought save and bones files can be loaded by
NetHack-3.7 without code modification, for debugging
bug reports.
This invalidates existing save and bones files.
There are two hardfought code additions that render save and bones files incompatible
with the upstream NetHack-3.7, and that makes testing with hardfought
save and bones files more challenging than it needs to be, when
investigating and troubleshooting bug reports.
Add some unused fields to advance towards achieving save file parity with
hardfought, which is a significant source of play-testing for NetHack-3.7.
1) the elbereth field addition to u_conduct
This adds an unused placeholder field named 'hf_reserved1', at the appropriate
place in u_conduct to achieve struct field parity with the one in use on
hardfought.
2) hardfought adds a field to struct monst:
char former_rank[25]; /* for bones' ghost rank in their former life */
Instead of adding that to every monst, this adds a new mextra struct
named 'former', which currently contains the equivalent 25-character
field called 'rank' which can hold the content that was in the
former_rank[25] field. That way, the field will only be added when it
is needed.
A pull request https://github.com/k21971/NetHack37/pull/2 has been
done on hardfought to do it the same way (untested there as of yet).
Even though NetHack-3.7 does not utilize that information presently,
this will be a further step toward allowing hardfought-generated save
and bones files to be used for troubleshooting, without modification,
on a similar architecture running stock NetHack-3.7 code.
That savefile parity won't be achieved until the after the
hardfought pull-request mentioned above (or equivalent) is merged.
As this change will not be compatible with existing save and bones
files, it will be accompanied with an EDITLEVEL increment.
If the saved game menu has more than 13 games, it won't be able to
use 'n' for "new game" and 'q' for "quit". Switch to 'N' and 'Q'
instead of just using the next letters in sequence. Only resort to
next-letters if there are more than 39 games.
tty and curses handle a list of many save files via menu pagination.
X11 does so with one long page possessing a scroll bar. If there
are more than 52 entries, selection via mouse is needed beyond 'Z'.
Qt has one page without any scroll bar so won't provide access to
the full set of save files when there are too many to fit on the
screen.
Instead of a menu listing
a - hero1
b - hero2
n - New game
q - Quit
show
a - hero1-role1-race1-gend1-algn1
b - hero2-role2-race2-gend2-algn2
n - New game
q - Quit
or
a - - hero1-role1-race1-gend1-algn1
b - X hero2-role2-race2-gend2-algn2
c - D wizard-role3-race3-gend3-algn3
n - New game
q - Quit
when any game in the list wasn't saved during normal play. (Those
are sorted by character name; the playmode is just coincidence.)
The dash for 'normal' doesn't look great but -/X/D are codes used in
entries written to paniclog. The whole playmode prefix doesn't look
particularly good but I suspect that most players relying on restore
via menu won't see it.
It should work when the character name has dashes in it but that
hasn't been properly tested.
The gender and alignment suffices reflect their value at the time of
save rather than at the start of the game. That might be considered
a bug but it was easiest.
Increments EDITLEVEL; existing save and bones files are invalidated.
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
Restoring was hiding unhidden mimics and if that chose an object
other than boulder of gold pieces, it called mkobj() before an
array used by that routine was initialized. The result was warning
"rnd(0) attempted" when NH_DEVEL_STATUS wasn't set to 'released' or
divide by 0 crash if it was set to that.
Restore should not be catching up for lost time when unpacking a
save file into individual level files, and if it hadn't done that
it wouldn't hide mimics who aren't currently hidden.
In addition to avoiding that, this also moves the initialization of
the offending mkobj array sooner.
[3.6 didn't use that array so wasn't susceptible to this. It is
hiding unhidden mimics during what should be a strictly bookkeeping
operation though.]

Consistent with their mythological role of punishing those who had

tracked separately from the alignment record, and cannot be cleared by
the hero improving her favor with her god via "good deeds" as the normal
alignment record can. Erinyes will gain abilities, levels, and attacks
as the hero's alignment abuse worsens. They will also aggravate
monsters when near the hero.

The tracks left by hero were cleared when player saved and
restored the game, or changed levels. Now the tracks are
saved in the dungeon level, so changing levels keeps the tracks
left by hero in that level.
Also increased the length of tracks from 50 to 100, and
simplify the tracking function.
Thing not done: fade out old tracks when returning to a level.
Breaks saves and bones.
Instead of just accepting an attribute, it's now possible to
use a color, or both color and attribute, for example:
OPTIONS=menu_headings:inverse
OPTIONS=menu_headings:red
OPTIONS=menu_headings:red&underline
Default is still just inverse.
This lets the player change the menu heading color without
needing to use menu colors for them.
Also makes it so the core uses NO_COLOR instead of 0, for all
the menu lines which don't have any prefedefined color.
Tested for tty, curses, x11, qt, and win32
I realized that failed explore-mode authorization on a special-mode
saved game cannot downgrade the game mode further down to a normal game,
because this would dump the player back into a state where she has
completed some part of the game in explore mode but is eligible for the
topten list. This is even more true when the game was formerly a
wizard-mode game. Unforunately, that was the state my previous commits
left the game in.
Instead, if restoring an explore-mode or wizard-mode savegame, and the
player is authorized via sysconf for neither of those modes, fail
restoration entirely and start a new game instead. That's sort of
clunky and there could probably be more explanation provided, but it
should be an exceedingly rare occurance and I'm not sure what
alternative exists that would still honor the EXPLORERS and WIZARDS
restrictions. This shouldn't affect the way they default 'down a mode'
in other circumstances, i.e. the overwhelming majority of situations in
which EXPLORERS authorization is needed/checked.
For the same reason, I realized that the player can't be prompted
whether or not to enter explore mode, if being downgraded from a
no-longer-authorized wizmode save while explore mode is authorized. The
change from wizard mode to explore mode must be mandatory. I have also
switched that up so that it will force the change -- unfortunately, this
has the side effect of allowing the preservation of the save, but it's
more important to make sure a wizard mode game doesn't get reverted to
normal mode. They won't be able to load the save into wizard mode
anyway.
The sysconf EXPLORERS list restricting access to explore mode was being
evaluated and used when a player used the #exploremode command in-game,
or when specifying -X or OPTIONS=playmode:explore on the command line
when resuming a normal game, but not when starting an entirely new game.
When SYSCF is avilable, check for authorization early, similar to debug
mode authorization, to restrict access to explore mode to EXPLORERS
under (hopefully) all circumstances.
If there were outdated savefiles encountered during
startup, each individual one was getting a wait_synch
that required a <return> even though a message window
wasn't being used at that point.
Allow suppression of the individual per-file wait_synch()
calls on Windows, so that a single one can be done once
the selectsave processing is overwith.
This was a little messy because an indicator had to flow
down through validate(), uptodate(), etc.
There shouldn't be any change in how things behave on
any non-Windows platforms.
Adds a new lua command
des.exclusion({ type = "teleport", region = { x1,y1, x2,y2 } });
which allows defining "exclusion zones" in the level, areas where
random teleports (or falling into the level) will never place the hero.
Does not prevent targeted teleportation into the area.
Breaks saves and bones.
Reported five months ago, a save was performed while a mounted hero
was engulfed. Restore issued a warning about the engulfer being
placed on top of the steed (who shouldn't have been on the map).
The report arrived at about the same time as engulfing a riding
hero was changed to force a dismount instead of engulfing both hero
and steed so nothing further was done about it. This changes
restore to not put a steed on the map and then take it off again.
It also attempts to simplify usteed and ustuck handling during save
and restore.
Testing so far indicates that things are still working correctly.
Keep makeplural(body_part(FINGER)) crossed.
Existing save and bones files are invalidated.
Update and apply an old stashed commit: hide the casts in calls to
mread() made in restore.c. Some split lines get recombined and there
is less clutter when reading the code.
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

Reported by paxed 8 years ago: if a bones file contains a
doppelganger imitating a unique monster, when it gets loaded
that monster ends up being marked as having been created. The
doppelganger itself will shapechange to other forms, but the
unique monster won't be created when it should be because it has
become extinct.
Report involved creating a statue of a unique monster which
yields a doppelganger in that monster's shape, then using stone
to flesh to animate the statue, dying before it changes to some
other shape, and having bones be saved.
Trap doors saved their destinations as an absolute level, rather than a
relative one, so if you loaded bones from a special level their
destinations would reflect the dungeon layout from the bones player's
game. For example, die on the Oracle level, on dlvl5, with a trap door
that goes to dlvl6. Another player gets those bones on their Oracle
level, which is dlvl8... the trap door would still go to dlvl6. Pretty
amazing trap door -- something you might see in a funhouse!
Include relative rather than absolute destinations in save and bones
files, much like stairs do, to avoid this problem.
I bumped EDITLEVEL because although this won't break save files in an
obvious way, it will interpret the (absolute) destinations in existing
save and bones files as relative, leading to some crazy long falls. :)
Stair dlevels weren't being restored with the correct values when
recovered after the game crashed, apparently because they weren't being
reset back to their 'absolute' level from a 'relative' level. I'm not
totally sure of why this affected only recovered games (maybe that's the
only time when the 'relative' stair values are used?) but this fix seems
to work.
Fixes#812
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
(user-side decisions really, but as it stands right now
user-side decisions/options are made and processed by the core)

The Copyright notice is placed by tty internal routines writing onto
the BASE_WINDOW fairly early in the startup sequence.
The prompt to "Destroy old game? [yn] (n)" is using the in-game
routine to write to the message window at the top of the screen and
prompt there, just like in-game prompts and messages.
If the player answered 'y' to that, the prompt for
"Shall I pick character's race, role, gender and alignment..."
appeared immediately after. That one, however, is written using
the BASE_WINDOW routines in tty, like the copyright notice.
This change does the following:
It moves the copyright lines down a little bit leaving room for the
"Destroy.." prompts.
It places the "Shall I pick characters's..." prompt further down the
screen by default, leaving some room for about 3 raw_print startup
messages after the copyright notice, just in case there are any.
The "Shall I pick character's..." prompt will still appear immediately
if there is a prompt such as "Destroy old game?..."
There were a couple of other issues around raw_print startup messages
too. Those are delivered using a raw_print mechanism to ensure they
are written even if the window-port is not fully operational. However,
they were only on the screen for the blink of an eye. This call
sequence in restore.c made them disappear almost immediately:
docrt() -> cls()
Put in a mechanism to detect the presence of raw_print messages
from the early startup, and if there were some, wait for a
keypress before obliterating the unread notifications.
The air bubbles on the Plane of Water and the clouds on the Plane of
Air were being saved and restored as part of the current level's state
(which is the 'u' struct and invent and such) rather than with the
current level itself. That was ok for normal play, but for wizard
mode's ^V allowing you to return to a previously visited endgame level
after moving to a different one it meant a new set of bubbles for
Water and new set of clouds for Air. Even that was ok since it only
applied to wizard mode, but using #wizmakemap to recreate Water or Air
while you were on it added a new set of bubbles or clouds to the
existing ones. If repeated, eventually there wouldn't be much water
or air left.
Instead of just adding a hack to #wizmakemap, change save/restore to
keep the bubbles/clouds with the level rather than with the state.
That wasn't trivial and now I know why the old odd arrangement was
chosen. Saving hides u.uz by zeroing it out for levels that the hero
isn't on and it is zero during restore so simple checks for whether a
given level is water or air won't work.
This also adds another non-file/non-debugpline() use of DEBUGFILES:
DEBUGFILES=seethru nethack -D
will make water and clouds be transparent instead of opaque. It also
makes fumaroles and other light-blocking gas clouds be transparent
which wasn't really intended, but avoiding it would be extra work that
doesn't accomplish much.
Increments EDITLEVEL for the third time this week....
Stop attempting to catch up for lost time for shop damage repair
when getlev() loads a previousl visited level. Normal shopkeeper
behavior will take care of that.
Also, fixes the display related aspects of shop damage repair
interacting with ball and chain. They don't happen when its done
while the map is being shown.
Reported by entrez, restoring a saved game runs the shop wall/floor
damage repair routine. It was taking place before attached ball
and chain were fully restored so the repair routine treated them as
ordinary objects if they happened to be in a wall gap that gets
fixed on the same turn as restore takes place. They could end up
being moved to a spot that's too far from the hero and then trigger
an impossible "b&c distance".
This restores ball and chain before shop damage repair takes place
so the repair routine deals with them sanely and the impossible won't
occur any more. However, the repair still happens before the current
level's map has been displayed and that looks pretty strange during
the shopkeeper's message. Also, if the hero and the ball start on
opposite sides of the gap, after the gap is repaired the ball will
still be shown as a remembered object at its old spot even though it
ends up being located at the hero's feet.
Closes#726
but more work is needed...
Log game events, such as entering a new dungeon level, breaking
a conduct, or killing a unique monster, in a new "Major events"
chronicle. The entries record the turn when the event happened.
The log can be viewed with #chronicle -command, and the entries
also show up in the end-of-game dump, if that is available.
This feature is on by default, but can be disabled by
defining NO_CHRONICLE compile-time option.
This also contains "live logging", writing the events as they
happen into a single livelog-file. This is mostly useful for
public servers. The livelog is off by default, and must be
compiled in with LIVELOG, and then turned on in sysconf.
Mostly this a version of livelogging from the Hardfought server,
with some changes.

Make sure g.hero_seq has a sane value during restore before moveloop()
has a chance to update it.
Have curses use g.hero_seq for messages delivered via putmsghistory().
Get rid of the last reference to 'g.restoring' (which managed to
unintentionally survive the change to 'g.program_state.restoring').
Also have suppress_map_output() check 'g.program_state.saving' and
switch the couple of checks against that flag to use the function.
