Undo the win/tty/wintty.c bands of the H2344 fix until the fix is fixed. I
didn't take out the type changes to hopefully avoid putting people through
a full recompile.
The presence of conditional code for both UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT and
NEWAUTOCOMP in hooked_tty_getlin() was making it be pretty hard to read.
This simplifies the UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT parts similar to what was done in
topl.c a year or two back. The NEWAUTOCOMP parts are still cluttered.
This compiles successfully with UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT enabled but that
configuration is otherwise untested.
Tested on the unix port; I've updated as many other ports as I can figure
out but they're not tested. See window.doc for info on the changed banner
lines. Also adds the ability to override the generic "Unix" port - used now to get
"MacOSX" into the version line instead of "Unix" (so we don't scare people who don't
know what's going on).
This is all tiny stuff - allow overriding WIDENED_PROTOTYPES from the hints
file, missing NO_SIGNAL conditionals, remove a GCC-ism, conditional indentation,
void return in a non-void function.
PORTS: Please make sure I've done the right thing for/to your code.
This patch adds a new winproc that lets the window port approve or cancel
the suspend request - this should take care of the Mac Qt lockup issue.
In addition, Unix suspend is restricted to accounts that can use the shell
if SYSCF is defined.
Hide most of the Unicode support in tty's top line manipulation.
The new code is somewhat fragile, but the clutter from the many instances
of #if UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT was making it difficult to work on some other
changes.
[Make use of recent message history changes.]
Add support to makedefs and the core for including a line of summary
text with quest messages that don't use pline() delivery. The multi-line
record structure of quest.txt begins each entry with %C and ends with %E.
makedefs now examines the %E lines looking for "[anything]" and adds that
to quest.dat where deliver_by_window() can find it. The square brackets
are required in the input and intentionally carried along to the output.
putmsghistory() is used to put the summary text into the message history
buffer for use by ^P, without being displayed first. (So this is a no-op
for interfaces which haven't implemented putmsghistory yet. Maybe
genl_putmsghistory() should pass such text to pline() as a quick hack?)
This adds a few summary lines to quest.txt so that the feature can
be tested. Most of them were written by <Someone> nearly three years
ago. I'm planning to add a couple of new control codes that'll allow some
of them to expand into shorter text. (The one where the Archeologist
leader tells you that the nemesis stole the artifact so your mission is
to find the goal level, defeat the nemesis, and return with the artifact
ends up being roughly 160 characters long.)
[Third of three message history patches.]
Add another argument to putmsghistory() so that it can tell whether
it's processing multiple messages for restore (which should be treated as
being older than any current messages) or a single message to stuff into
history (which should be treated as the most recent message even though
it hasn't been displayed in the message window).
tty's role confirmation menu was always showing "dwarven" as the
chosen race. I don't know how many times I saw it without ever realizing.
``races[FACE]'' in the code eventually stood out enough to be noticed. :-)
[See cvs log for src/role.c for a much longer description.]
When picking role, race, and so forth, new menu entries allow you to
pick any of the other items before the one currently being handled. After
picking all four of race, role, gender, and alignment (or if you answered
'y' to "shall I pick for you?"), there is a followup prompt to confirm the
choices. It's a menu which also provides a chance to rename the character.
This has only been implemented in win/tty's player_selection(), with
some support code in the core that might be useful to other interfaces.
And so far, the chance to rename is only presented as a menu choice if
you've given an answer to "who are you?" prompt earlier during startup.
Also, ports that use pcmain.c aren't able to perform hero renaming yet.
build system.
Anyone who wants to do a build from sys/unix and doesn't want to figure this
out just needs to do:
sh setup.sh hints/unix
instead of:
sh setup.sh
and then continue on as usual.
New files:
sys/unix/NewInstall.unx - the new directions
sys/unix/hints/* - the hints files. There will be more later.
sys/unix/mkmkfile.sh - helper for setup.sh
Summary of changes:
see NewInstall.unx for info on the new build system
introduction of various preprocessor symbols to turn options off that
are defaulted on historically
comment out nethackrc (and similar) entries that still use the old symbol
syntax.
commenting out of Makefile.* lines that now come from hints/unix
GAMEDIR is replaced with HACKDIR so the Makefiles and the C source agree.
Note that I have NOT changed the docs and/or Makefiles for be, msdos, os2,
vms, or winnt. If port maintainers don't then I will, but I can't test
those ports.
nethack.sh now handles the font path automatically
The hangup check added to xwaitforspace() (which gets tty user's
response to --More-- and "Press Return to continue: ") wouldn't be good
enough if hangup occurred while that routine's input loop was executing.
NOSAVEONHANGUP isn't documented anywhere. I don't see why it should
wipe out recoverable level files just because it doesn't want to build a
save file out of them during the hangup. Leave them intact if checkpoint
is active. If someone really wants to make them always go away, they'll
need to disable INSURANCE as well as enable NOSAVEONHANGUP.
tty's getret() -> xwaitforspace() could get stuck in a loop after
hangup, depending upon the state of terminal shutdown (accepting EOF or
ESC cares about cbreak mode?). Make xwaitforspace() become a no-op during
hangup processing.
vms's call to hangup() from an exit handler took place after the
terminal has been reset (the exit handler for the latter is registered
later so executes sooner). Then exit_nhwindows() resulted in a second tty
reset attempt and settty() -> setctty() encountered an error (which it
reported, triggeting a getret() call). Make the vms code correctly guard
against multiple resets.
A recent change to force gold in inventory (during multi-item Drop or
applying/looting containers) to have '$' for its inventory letter for the
!GOLDOBJ configuration has revealed a bug which 3.4.3 has for the GOLDOBJ
configuration. Specifying a count followed by '$' to use a subset of
carried gold didn't work under tty; the $ was treated as a group accelator
and overrode the count, so full stack was always used. (The code a few
lines above this which counts the occurrences of group accelators already
includes this same fix: ignore an item's group accelator when it matches
the selector.)
I wouldn't be surprised if other interfaces are subject to the same
problem; since I can't test those I'm not attempting to fix them blindly.
Typing a response at the "Who are you?" prompt didn't allow digits in
the character's name under Unix and VMS; something like "arc15" came out
as "arc__". This allows them to be used anywhere except for the first
character. "arc15" now works; "15arc" ends up as "_5arc" so that there
still won't be a leading digit abutting the uid value when they're joined
to form the save file name.
Move the code to use a nethack menu for restoring a saved game. It
was inline in tty_askname() but is now a separate routine, restore_menu()
in restore.c. There was no port-specific code and only a small amount of
tty-specific code; it should be useable by anyone (but Qt doesn't have to
switch over if it doesn't want to).
The original behaved strangely if there were exactly 26 saved chars;
the "start new game" menu entry ended up using "{" as selection character.
There wasn't any comparable problem at 52; it was limiting the menu to 51
games. Now it will allow 52 (with "start a new game" bumped into "#" if
there are that many), and adds an explicit quit entry (unless there are
52 or more games so that # is already used by new-game, then quit remains
implicit rather than resort to some other none-of-the-above character).
Explicitly truncate the query prompt string to QBUFSZ-1 characters.
For tty and Amiga, no longer include the choices and default within that
length limit; use a bigger buffer to hold them along with the prompt.
[See cvs log for doc/window.doc for more details.]
This patch attempts to add some levels of unicode support
to NetHack.
The master on/off switch for any Unicode support is
defining UNICODE_SUPPORT in config.h. Currently
there is code support for two subsets of unicode support:
UNICODE_DRAWING
If UNICODE_DRAWING is defined, then the data
structures used to house drawing symbols are expanded
to the size of wchar_t, big enough to hold unicode characters.
A typdef called `nhsym' is involved and if UNICODE_DRAWING
is defined, it is wchar_t, otherwise it is uchar.
UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
If UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT is defined, then the data
structures inside the window port are expanded to the size of
wchar_t, big enough to hold unicode characters. Both map
symbols and text within the window port are expanded, in order
for potential support for displaying multinational characters some
day, but this patch only provides viewing of map symbols.
A typdef called `nhwchar' is involved and if UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
is defined, it is wchar_t, otherwise it is char.
The only window port with code support for UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
currently is the TTY port. Don't enable UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
unless:
- it is a TTY port
- the underlying platform specific routines can
handle the larger data structures.
Don't enable UNICODE_SUPPORT unless:
- your compiler can handle wchar_t.
- your compiler can accept L'a' characters.
- your compiler can accept L"wide" strings.
Note that if your compiler can handle the above, you could
enable the larger data structures (currently if TTY) even if your
platform can't actually display unicode or UTF-8, by messing
with u_putch() in win/tty/wintty.c to only deal regular chars.
That should be the only function that actually pushes wide characters
out to the display.
If you enable UNICODE_SUPPORT, and your platform is capable
you will need to turn on the unicode run-time option to be able to
load unicode character sets from the symbol file, to be able to
push unicode characters to the display. You'll also want to load
a unicode symbol set once the unicode option is toggled on. In
a config file you would do that via these two lines:
OPTIONS=unicode
OPTIONS=symset:Unicode_non_US
The repository was stamped with NETHACK_PRE_UNICODE
prior to applying this patch, and stamped with
NETHACK_POST_UNICODE afterwards. The code differences
between those two tagged versions are this patch.
Add putmixed() to the window port. It allows map symbols to
be included in the string by encoding them in a unique fashion.
This was done because Unicode symbols, for instance, could be
longer than the size of a char.
The encoding of the map symbols in this patch is done by
prefixing a glyph value with \GXXXX, where XXXX is a
random value for the current game. The reason for the random
prefix is to minimize the possibility that a player can trigger
the escape sequence processing within text under their control
(dog names, etc.) the way they could if the sequence was fixed
in the source code. The random prefix remains the same throughout
the lifetime of a game because message window strings are
saved in the save file.
(There was actually a bug present because of the embedded
character even before the recent symbol changes, because if
someone was using a different set of characters between games,
the saved messages would reflect the original characters, rather
than the current. That bug was introduced with the ability to
save messages to the savefile.)
A window port does not have to supply an XXX_putmixed() routine,
it can use genl_putmixed() which uses the old behavior of
embedding the sequence as a character within the string
and calling putstr(). genl_putmixed() takes care of the decoding
of the escape sequence.
This also #ifdef's out code in pager.c for converting a glyph
to a character, and uses mapglyph() to do that instead. Does
anyone see a problem with doing that through mapglyph instead
of repeating similar code within pager.c?
- reduce the number of symbol tables for each graphics
set {PRIMARY, ROGUESET} from three {map, oc, mon}
tables for each of the display symbols, the loadable symbols,
and the rogue symbols, to one continguous table for
each:
showsyms: the current display symbols
l_syms: the loaded, alterable symbols
r_syms: the rogue symbols
- Modify mapglyph so that the index into the symbolt table is
available as a return value (it was a void function), rather than
just the char converted from the glyph.
- That makes it possible for a window port to use the same
index value to extract from another table (perhaps a unicode
table) for a different set of display symbols. The index
is much more useful than trying to convert the character
into another type of symbol, as some contributed patches
have done.
- It is much easier to load a single alternative flat table to
make substitutions, since the corresponding value just
has to get placed into the same index offset in the
alternative table.
This also fixes a bug I found in botl.c, where you could
go to the rogue level, and the bottom line gold symbol
was not being updated with the new character as it should.
The reason was because the gold value had not changed,
only the field symbol used had changed.
This updates multiple ports to place a (void) cast on
the mapglyph call, now that it returns a value, so this
is going to generate a lot of diff e-mails.
This is an overhaul to the NetHack drawing mechanism.
- eliminates the need to have separate lists in drawing.c
for the things and their associated explanations by grouping
those thing together on the same inializer in a struct.
- replaces all of these options: IBMgraphics, DECgraphics, MACgraphics,
graphics, monsters, objects, boulder, traps, effects
- drawing.c contains only the set of NetHack standard symbols for
the main game and a set of NetHack standard symbols for the
roguelevel.
- introduces a symbols file that contains named sets of
symbols that can be loaded at run time making it extensible
for situations like multinational code pages like those reported
by <Someone>, without hardcoding additional sets into the game code.
- symbols file uses names for the symbols, so offsets will not break
when new things are introduced into the game, the way the older
config file uchar load routines did.
- symbols file only contains exceptions to the standard NetHack
set, not entire sets so they are much less verbose than all of
the g_FILLER() entries that were previously in drawing.c
- 'symset' and 'roguesymset' config file options for
preselecting a symbol set from the file called 'symbols'
at startup time. The name of the symbols file is not under the
users control, only the symbol set name desired from within the
symbols file is.
- 'symset' config file option loads a desired symbol set for
everything but the rogue level.
- 'roguesymset' config file option loads a desired symbol set
for the rogue level.
- 'SYMBOLS' config file option allows the user to specify replacement
symbols on a per symbol basis. You can specify as many or as few symbols
as you wish. The symbols are identified by a name:value pair, and line
continuation is supported. Multiple symbol assignments can be made on
the same line if each name:value pair is separated by a comma.
For example:
SYMBOLS = S_bars:\xf0, S_tree: \xf1, S_room:\xfa \
S_fountain:\xf4 \
S_boulder:0
- 'symbols' file has the following structure:
start: DECgraphics
Handling: DEC
S_vwall: \xf8 # meta-x, vertical rule
S_hwall: \xf1 # meta-q, horizontal rule
finish
start: IBMgraphics
Handling: IBM
S_vwall: \xb3 # meta-3, vertical rule
S_hwall: \xc4 # meta-D, horizontal rule
finish
- 'symbols' file added to the source tree in the dat directory
- Port Makefiles/scripts will need to be adjusted to move them into
HACKDIR destination
- always write plname into save file, no longer conditional
- add 'selectsaved' wincap option to control the display of
a menu of save files for ports/platforms that support it.
- add support for win32 tty using normal nethack menus.
- the win/tty/wintty code is generalized enough that any
tty port could support the option if the appropriate port-specific
code hooks for wildcard file lookups are added to src/file.c
specifically in the get_saved_games() routine. There is posix
code in there from Warwick already, and there is findfirst/findnext
code in there from win32. Warwick has the posix code only
enabled for Qt at present, but with wintty support, that could be expanded
to other Unix environments quite easily I would think.
Here is what the tty support looks like:
NetHack, Copyright 1985-2005
By Stichting Mathematisch Centrum and M. Stephenson.
See license for details.
Select one of your saved games
a - Bob
b - Fred
c - June
d - mine3
e - Sirius
f - Start a new character
(end)
The following files existed in the NetHack SAVEDIR directory
at the time:
ALLISONMI-Bob.NetHack-saved-game
ALLISONMI-Fred.NetHack-saved-game
ALLISONMI-June.NetHack-saved-game
ALLISONMI-mine3.NetHack-saved-game
ALLISONMI-Sirius.NetHack-saved-game
Note that despite the file names, the actual character name
is drawn from the savefile.
The WIN32CON support passes
USER-*.NetHack-saved-game
to findfirst/findnext where USER is your login name of course.
This provides the core support needed for status field highlighting.
This patch doesn't actually perform status field highlighting for any port,
but provides the core hooks for doing so.
The syntax is:
OPTIONS=hilite_status:{fieldname}/{threshold}/{below}/{above}
where {fieldname} is the name of a status field.
{threshold} is the value used as the threshold to trigger a display
change. It can also be set to "updown" to trigger
a display change whenever it rises or whenever it falls.
If you end the threshold value with %, then it signifies
that you want to trigger the display change based on the
percentage of maximum.
{below}, {above}
are the color or display attribute that you want to use when
the field value is underneath the threshold. Supported display
fields are: normal, inverse, bold, black, red, green,
brown, blue, magenta, cyan, gray, orange,
bright-green, yellow, bright-blue, bright-magenta,
bright-cyan, or white.
Valid field names are:
alignment, armor-class, carrying-capacity,
charisma, condition, constitution, dexterity,
dungeon-level, experience-level, experience,
gold, HD, hitpoints-max, hitpoints, hunger,
intelligence, power-max, power, score,
strength, time, title, wisdom

Introduction of a new set of window port status display
routines. The new routines are conditional on
STATUS_VIA_WINDOWPORT
being defined in config.h. See the experimental section,
where the #define resides for the time being.
<Someone> discovered that it is possible to
have wins[WIN_MESSAGE] be null during
a hangup, not sure why yet.
Put a guard in to prevent de-referencing a null pointer.
This brings things much closer to correct operation (I hope).
- The shift to only moving the cursor on input (<Someone>'s
changes) had a lot of complications, among them was
that sometimes, there is no more input. When the program was
exiting, or bombing the cursor synch never got done, so the
final messages could end up strewn any place the cursor
happened to be dwelling.
- There were two competing output systems in use: the
wintty stuff for the game, and the msmsg and error stuff
used by the sys/share/pcsys, sys/share/pctty, and
sys/share/pcunix routines. Those were meant to mimic
output to stdout, where stuff just got sent to a sequential
display. Over time, there were calls mixed in that depended
on the cursor tracked stuff from the core game, so you
really couldn't be sure where things were going to display.
It wasn't as much of an issue before, because the cursor
really did get moved around as expected. Everything
now ends up in the same output system.
- I even found a use of the real putchar() because
sys/share/pcunix didn't #include wintty.h the same
as the other files, and the macro never got defined.
Who knows where that character was being put -
the game certainly couldn't track it.
While everything I knew to be wrong yesterday is
now working, there may be some other glitches
lurking that I haven't discovered yet.
Please: test, test, test.
There were still some significant startup message problems
with win32tty.
I've spent a lot of time in the debugger tracing through them all.
I think I've got them all worked out now, certainly the ones that
I was aware of. There may be some I haven't discovered.
Testing welcomed of course!
This patch also attempts to diagnose the error where someone tries
to execute NetHack directly out of a zip file, and provide
them with a (hopefully) helpful message similar to what we
might end up telling them if they wrote in. If you want
to test that part, you can comment out the line in the
Makefile that adds "dungeon" to nhdat, and delete the nhdat
in your binary and src directories, and "make install".
Then add the value of your TEMP environment variable as a
DATADIR statement in defaults.nh (here's mine):
DATADIR=C:\DOCUME~1\ALLISO~1\LOCALS~1\Temp
The diagnostic code engages if the game fails to open
dungeon. It then checks to see if it the game dir is the
TEMP directory for your system, and if so it prints the
message.
the win32 cursor restriction stuff messed up any
messages displayed during abnormal start conditions
where the window system never got initialized properly.
among them:
- messages relating to lock files or games in progress
- dungeon errors
- early panic messages
The tty menu code wasn't totally reentrant, causing it to free memory
that wasn't on the heap if you had your inventory displayed, ^C then
ask to see the inventory again. Solved this by converting the buffer used
by process_menu_window to be heap-allocated. If the Quit code could return at
this point, this would still be very bad, but since it doesn't, this is OK.
1. Switch to low-level console routines for performance improvements.
2. Instead of moving the cursor around like a real tty, just track the
destination coordinates of where the cursor should be, and
defer the movement until user input is expected.

This seemed like a reasonable request. This patch:
- adds the core support required.
- adds the tty supporting routines.

This patch:
- collects all context/tracking related fields from flags
into a new structure called "context."
It also adds the following to the new structure:
- stethoscope turn support
- victual support
- tin support
This is an initial round of SAFERHANGUP hangup changes. It introduces
SAFERHANGUP, provides the core framework, and enables it for UNIX.
Window-port changes are provided for win/tty, win/X11 and win/gnome. Qt
changes should be forthcoming after having Warwick look at them.
window.doc is updated so windowport maintainers have an clue what needs to
be done to support SAFERHANGUP.
