Noticed that "multiple" was misspelled for entry about menu action
':' misbehaving under curses, but the phrasing for whole entry was
difficult to comprehend so try to word it better.
[This one is in the highlights list with the old wording.]
Reported directly to devteam, the POSIX_TYPES subset (most? all
these days?) of Unix that defines USE_FCNTL was unlocking lock file
'perm' when done with it but wasn't explicitly closing it unless
the unlocking failed. Triggered a valgrind complaint and could have
posed a problem if restart gets implemented for this configuraiton.
Feedback when playing music while hallucinating misspelled
"butterflies".
Other bits in the same code (not part of #H9407):
All feedback messages while impaired gave "You produce <something>"
which was immediately followed by many of the instruments giving
their own "You produce <some other thing>." Change the verb for the
playing-while-impaired messages to avoid having two consecutive
"you produce" ones.
Also, multiple impairments (two or more of stunned, confused, and
hallucinating) always gave the generic "what you produce is far
from music" message. Have them sometimes ignore excess impairments
to give the message for one of those.
Symbol set changes...
curses:
S_tree (use plus-or-minus sign instead of accidental horizontal line);
S_bars (switch from default '#' to not-equals sign);
DECgraphics:
S_altar (switch from default '_' to 'pi');
S_bars (switch from 'pi' to not-equals sign);
DECgraphics_2: get rid of this commented out set since its contents are
now folded into DECgraphics.
(The IBMgraphics one is just whitespace; delete a <space> that precedes
a <tab>.)
Flag existing occurrences of "You hear" as "Deaf-aware" so
that a grep for that string in the future doesn't need to
trigger further investigation of those.
Something I realized while following up a newsgroup post. If you
knew an item's bless/curse state and dipped it into water while
blind, the bknown flag stayed set and you learned the item's new
bless/curse state without seeing any "glows blue/black/&c" feedback.
Clear the flag unless you know that the potion being dipped into is
water (or is clear if not water has not been discovered) and also
know the water potion's own bless/curse state.
Music wasn't using You_hear() so needs to handle Deaf itself. Have
it give alternate messages for sounds being emitted from instruments.
This doesn't implement the suggestion that a Deaf hero shouldn't be
able to produce the same music as a non-deaf one.
More symbols: I left out a word on the continutation line for S_stone
and S_tool has been forcing narrow space where ordinary <comma><space>
was intended.
Guidebook.tex not tested. The \, in the continuation of S_stone is
a narrow space in LaTeX. It should be \hspace{ width of '(' } but
I don't remember how to measure something in LaTeX or TeX.
Guidebook.mn is getting two small changes: I forgot about the
guideline that each sentence be on its own line. Also, this adds the
fix for wide lines in the dungeoneers list although the reordering
accompanying a recent change might have made that moot (unless some
future reordering puts wide names on the same line again, assuming
that was the issue).
The table listing symset entries was ok for ps/pdf output but for
plain text output it was wrapping to a second line for S_xan,
S_pet_override, and S_player_override and also going past the right
margin for some others. I've shortened the text for those three
and narrowed the first column to give more room for the third column,
bringing all the lines within their margin.
The entry for S_stone was rather surprising: "dark part of a room".
It now says "solid rock or unexplored terrain or dark part of a room"
and needed to span two lines.
The first column has been labeled "Default" but that was why that
column was wider than necessary. It now has a label of two spaces
and is left justified instead of being centered. It is also now
forcing constant-width Roman as the font and every character in that
column should be the same size so one reason for centering is removed.
The title used to be centered but always looked a bit off due to the
fact that the three columns have differing widths and/or because of
the over-wide lines changing the location of "center". It is now
left justified and looks a little bit like it's labeling the first
column. Perhaps it needs a blank line separating it from the rest.
Guidebook.tex is lagging again.
Creation of guardian angel bypasses tamedog() and marks it tame
directly but it wasn't updating the map after changing the monster.
So if 'hilite_pet' was On when entering the Astral Plane level, the
angel appeared to be ordinary monster rather than a tame one until
it moved or the screen was redrawn. Also, the message about it
appearing was issued before marking it tame, so a tiny bit of code
reordering has been done to get the sequence correct.
This sample comment attending the sample SYMBOLS statement fit ok in
the pdf output but wrapped to another line in the plain text output,
so shorten it.
S_xan, S_pet_override, and S_player_override still wrap, but by a bit
less than before. Their width causes the line of dashes at the top
of the table to wrap too.
Guidebook.tex is still lagging behind.
I think it was issued by tbl but it wasn't about any of the tables.
warning: numeric expression expected (got 'R')
was complaining about
.lp SYMBOLS, ROGUESYMBOLS
Exclosing the paragraph label within quotes to make it one argument
to the lp macro or command would have fixed this, but I've split
them into two paragraphs. And reordered several of the paragraphs
which were alphabetized just enough to make the out of order ones
seem like mistakes.
Guidebook.tex needs to catch up.
A few symbol-related modifications:
- fulfill a request from a blind player to allow them to
specify a unique/recognizable character for all pets and/or
the player in the config file for use when using a screen
reader (S_player_override, S_pet_override). Requires sysconf
setting ACCESSIBILITY to be set to have an effect, although
they can still be specified in the config file.
- Config file SYMBOLS entries were not working properly on
the rogue level. Allow ROGUESYMBOLS as well as SYMBOLS to be
specified in the config file independently.
- When values are moved into showsyms[], the overriding SYMBOLS
or ROGUESYMBOLS entry from the config file is used if there is
one; if there is no overriding value for a particular symbol,
the loaded symset value is used; if there is no symset entry
loaded for the symbol then a default symbol is used.
Make paranoid_query() (yn question requiring explicit "yes" answer)
protect itself from overly long prompt strings. I'm not aware of
any specific overflowing queries so I temporary reduced QBUFSZ within
paranoid_query() in order to test.
For EDIT_GETLIN, don't use previous response as default if we loop
after neither "yes" nor "no" was given for paranoid confirm.
Fixes#238
For the three fields in the 'scores' option's argument: top, around,
and own, if any was separated from preceding one by space(s) rather
than slash and lacked a count prefix, the argument parsing skipped
over it. So "10t/3a/o" and "10t 3a 1o" worked but "10t 3a o" ignored
the 'o'. The issue report was about 'own' but there's nothing special
about 'own' itself; just that it doesn't warrant a count prefix and is
usually last (in other words, normally preceded by one or both of the
other two) so more likely to trip over this.
[I thought there was another report about 'scores' misbehaving (from
quite a while ago) but couldn't find one. If it exists, it might have
been about the same thing.]
Mimic-as-slime_mold needs to keep track of the fruit index the same
way that mimic-as-corpse keeps track of corpse's monster type. The
mimic description was changing (for '/' and ';' feedback) whenever
the player assiged a new fruit name.
That wasn't noticeable when applying a stethoscope because
mimic-as-slime_mold always yielded "that fruit is really a mimic".
Change it to report the fruit's type instead of generic "fruit".
For 'O's menu, make the current symbol set be pre-selected so that
the set in use is clearly marked while contemplating changing it.
Using Return or Enter will pick it again; Escape is now needed to
deliberately not make any selection.
Also, change several symbol set initializations to use the new method
of deciding whether the default symbols are still in place.
Fix a couple of bugs I stumbled across while testing something else.
The sell prompt for a container dropped in a shop had phrasing issues.
This fixes a couple but there are more. The message composition
assumes that contents fall into two categories: those already owned
by the shop and those the shopkeeper is offering to buy from the hero.
But there is a third: stuff the shopkeeper doesn't care about so
won't buy. The count_contents() routine can supply total contents or
shop-owned contents. Subtracting one from the other yields combined
hero-owned without any way to separate out shk-cares and don't-care.
Dying in a shop while carrying partly eaten food would place that food
on the floor without marking it no_charge. But marking it that way
wouldn't have helped because as bones data gets saved, every object on
the level has its no_charge flag cleared. So 'no_charge' needs to be
explicitly set for partly eaten food in tended shops as a bones level
gets loaded.
Most of the shk.c diff is reformatting, but it does change the
get_pricing_units() routine to lie that the quantity is zero for
partly eaten food so that when multiplying with price it won't matter
whether the price has been forced to zero or been left non-zero.
