<Someone> wishes to add a couple of new options to the wince port ("run fullscreen" and "do not use CE software keyboard").
The wincap field was full, so this adds a second field for
additional options.
This allows the use of the right mouse button to
look at things on the screen when the
'clicklook' option is set.
Concept came from a patch for 3.4.0
that I saw referenced on r.g.r.n
[see http://www.steelskies.com/nethack.php]
but the implementation is different.
I encountered a look vs pickup cockatrice corpse
bug today.
If you looked at a location with ':', you
would instantly get
"Touching the cockatrice corpse is a fatal mistake..."
but if you used "m," you got the full list of
things at the location to choose from.
This patch makes the behaviour consistent
and more informative to the player.
You now get the partial list of things felt
up until the cockatrice corpse is encountered,
and then you get the
"Touching the cockatrice corpse is a fatal mistake..."
Before, the code was never displaying the partially
built list because the feel_cockatrice() call was
happening before the window display call.
Mostly `gcc -Wwrite-strings' complaining about passing string
literals to safe_qbuf(). `gcc -Wformat' didn't catch the type mismatch
of formatting the return value of strlen() with %d, presumeably because
size_t is defined as unsigned int on this system and it treats int and
unsigned int as interchangeable as far as printf/scanf checking goes.
I'm not sure whether the sizeof() values being passed to safe_qbuf()
ought to have casts. Any system where size_t isn't the same width as
unsigned int is bound to support prototypes, but might possibly warn about
the implicit conversion of unsigned long (or even unsigned long long these
days) to unsigned int.
This solution is mostly a band-aid. Make sure information set by join_map
that is overlaid by the MAP is cleared out. This ensures that place_branch
will never consider invalid data. A new function, remove_rooms(), with a
helper, remove_room(), takes care of this, but only for rooms created by
join_map, which addresses the only known case that causes this problem.
There's a possibility that some other strange behavior, especially in
minetn-6, will be fixed by this as well. The problem of disconnected caves
on minetn-6 is not yet addressed.
Also, add a check to lev_comp.y to make sure the required fg semantics of
joined levels (fg must be ROOM or CORR) are actually met. Doesn't affect
any levels currently included in the distro, but might address levels
others are trying to make.

Another step in the fight against prompt sting buffer overflows.
The goes after the ones that may not have been found yet.
This makes yn_function a real core function and removes
the #define yn_function macro.
The yn_function validates the prompt string buffer being
passed prior to calling (*windowprocs.win_yn_function)(),
and if necessary, truncating it and adding "...".
This won't help if the overflow occurs in the core in
a buffer that is still QBUFSZ in size, but it will help if
a BUFSZ buffer is being passed to one of the query
functions.
This patch gives game and savefile compatibility
whether GOLDOBJ is defined or not.
You can build with GOLDOBJ defined or not, and
still load your saved games. Rebuild with the
opposite, and load the same game.
That way GOLDOBJ can be experimented with
more easily.
1. Leave the "you" struct and the "monst"
struct the same under the hood between
GOLDOBJ and !GOLDOBJ.
2. Always write out gold as an
object on the player and monster
inventory chains.
On a restore of the savefile with GOLDOBJ
not defined, take the gold objects out of
the inventory chains and put it into u.ugold
or mtmp->mgold as appropriate.
On a restore of the savefile with GOLDOBJ
defined, nothing special is done.
Another fix to address the complaints about two-handed weapons being
rendered useless by 3.4.1's change to require free hands in order to apply
containers. Some players now fear to wield two-handed weapons because a
curse would make accessing their bag impossible, which is doubly nasty if
that's where they have scrolls of remove curse or potions of holy water
intended to deal with cursed items. The same situation applies for cursed
one-handed weapon combined with cursed shield, so some are now claiming
that 3.4.1 has made two-weapon combat be even more attractive than before.
This implements #tip, a new command that causes a container at the
current location or carried in inventory to have its contents emptied
onto the floor. Hero's hands don't need to be free at the time but tipping
a floor container requires limbs; tipping an inventory container doesn't
need hands or even limbs. The contained items don't pass through inventory
during the process, so don't cause objects (loadstones, crysknives, scrolls
of scare monster?) to go through their special handling unless it's part of
normally dropping to the floor. Tipping a bag of tricks behaves the same
as applying it (one monster is released, and it only becomes empty if
that happened to be the last charge) and items tipped out of a cursed bag
of holding have their normal cursed bag chance (1/13) of being destroyed.
Tipping an inventory container while levitating or during unskilled riding
behaves similar to normal drop--from a height, so some fragile items break.
Players have wanted this feature to get gray stones out of chests or
heavy corpses out of ice boxes but I didn't care much about that; losing
access to your bag is more significant. I'm pretty sure that there was a
user patch to do something like this floating around at one time, but I
couldn't find it when I looked, so I implemented #tip totally from scratch.
Bug? Extended commands which lack meta-key shortcuts are not listed
in the help files displayed by the '?' command....
Move a couple of instances of container contents manipulation into
their own routines. Behavior for items disappearing from cursed bags of
holding isn't quite identical but is effectively the same. I think its
use of stolen_value (or simply the behavior of the latter) is buggy, but
I haven't tried to fix that. (Cursed bag of holding destroying a player
owned bag containing shopped owned items definitely doesn't work well.)
<Someone> noted that if you dropped a box while levitating, nothing would
break. This is true for sacks too, which shouldn't be immune either.
Throwing didn't break contained objects either, not mentioned in his report.
Refactored out the code in kick_object that handled damage for objects
contained in normal containers and added calls in hitfloor and throwit.
kick_object still only calls it for boxes, but other callers will call it
for any object letting it decide if damage is required. BoH objects aren't
affected, since traditionally the inside of the BoH is "somewhere else".
This started out as a change to address the strange sequence of messages if
you remove a blindfold while engulfed in a dust vortex. That is addressed
by a new function that can be called in such situations. Calls to this
function were added in all the cases where the can_blnd() engulfing
conditions end as a result of player action. There are some other cases
that end ucreamed or usleep, but they happen between turns and shouldn't
need extra handling.
While I was at it, I noticed that a unicorn horn or prayer would cure
blindness even while engulfed in a dust vortex. This is useless, because
you immediately get blind again the next turn. So, I added checks to avoid
doing this. Finally, it didn't make sense for eating a carrot to cure your
blindness in these situations either, only for it to return immediately.
1) make two-weapon combat perform two attacks instead of always either
hitting twice or missing twice;
2) address <Someone>'s report of weapon skill to-hit adjustment being ignored
for bare-handed and martial arts attacks;
3) address newsgroup complaints about the intrusive "your armor is rather
cumbersome" message given every time a monk wearing a suit attacks;
this implements the suggestion that it only occur for those times where
you miss because of the penalty involved, suppressing it when you miss
due to other reasons and when you successfully hit;
4) bonus fix: a side-effect of #3 is that the order of the messages "your
armor is cumbersome" and Stormbringer's "bloodthirsty blade attacks" is
inverted, making a sensible sequence instead of implying precognition.

Prevent burying a ball from ending your punishment.
When you bury the ball, internally NetHack Punishment
ceases, but a new trap type of TT_BURIEDBALL immediately
kicks in (acting similar to TT_INFLOOR in some ways).
You can eventually work the ball free (or teleport, etc.),
but that will just return you back to normal Punishment.
3.4.1 included a change which requires you to be able to use hands
in order to manipulate containers; that makes sense but has introduced
an unintended side-effect. It has become much harder to uncurse a
two-handed weapon or combination of a one-handed weapon and a shield
because you can't get scrolls or potions out of your bag. This adds a
new major trouble for prayer to address that, escalating it above the
normal minor cursed item trouble. It also removes a nonsensical check
for combination of two-handed weapon and shield that I added long ago.
Not related, but same file: add the missing artifact touch checks
for putting on accessories (quest amulets and lenses). I can't remember
if this was From a bug report.
The CE ports use makedefs hosted on another platform,
so the version string generated at build time isn't really
appropriate.
Add a way to add information to the version string
at runtime for such ports.
To fix Magicbane's message sequencing, its code needs to be redone
substantially. These changes make that easier.
cancel_monst() let caller know whether cancellation succeeds
resist() give artifact weapons a resistance attack rating
vtense() handle monster names and "you" as subjects; checking against
object names and descriptions pointed out a couple of other
words that would have ended up being miscategorized.

>Should there be a minliquid() check as part of make_familiar()?
Applying at the water location next to you was easy. But
applying it at your own location (triggering BY_YOU) could
end up placing the figurine at the far side of the level if
there was lots of water.
Correcting that required the ability to pass a flag from
make_familiar to makemon() telling it to not rule out
water locations as good positions. The flag had to
be passed on down to goodpos() and enexto().
The bulk of this patch is just adding an additional
argument to goodpos() in all of the callers.
Prevent #rub from wielding an item that is already being worn
(which should narrow things down to the various types of eyewear;
other tools and weapons that go through wield_tool() can't be worn).
Fix up the wield_tool message spacing in the process.
This moves wield_tool() from apply.c to wield.c. Some plural
handling for messages is included; it is feasible to try to #rub a
"pair of lenses" or a stack of N candles.
For "traditional" menu style, pickup and #loot/apply can't accept an 'm'
response to bring up a menu upon request when all items involved are of
the same class, because the prompt where that response is allowed only
gets issued when multiple classes are present.
The complaint states:
It still won't let you unwield a cursed secondary weapon while
two-weaponing, even though you can drop such a weapon without problem.
You aren't supposed to be able to two-weapon
with a cursed alternate weapon at all. It appears that there are some
checks to prevent twoweaponing if uswapwep is cursed when you try.
This patch ensures that two-weaping stops if uswapwep gets cursed
while two-weaponing. I think this means the 'A' command will never
encounter the situation now in the complaint now.
The rules in wield.c state
The secondary weapon (uswapwep):
1. Is filled by the x command, which swaps this slot
with the main weapon. If the "pushweapon" option is set,
the w command will also store the old weapon in the
secondary slot.
2. Can be field with anything that will fit in the main weapon
slot; that is, any type of item.
3. Is usually NOT considered to be carried in the hands.
That would force too many checks among the main weapon,
second weapon, shield, gloves, and rings; and it would
further be complicated by bimanual weapons. A special
exception is made for two-weapon combat.
4. Is used as the second weapon for two-weapon combat, and as
a convenience to swap with the main weapon.
5. Never conveys intrinsics.
6. Cursed items never weld (see number 3 for reasons), but they also
prevent two-weapon combat.
Building with an old version of gcc with various warnings enabled
generated a lot of noise. Most of it was due to not guarding string
literals with `const', but there were a couple of actual problems too.
Some recent newsgroup discussion claiming that a pet ki-rin was
wearing a helmet (I think poster was hallucinating) caused me to look
at some of the hat handling code. There were a couple of noticeable
problems and one latent one in code added for 3.4.1. Polymorphing
into a minotaur pushes hard helmets off hero's head, but nothing
prevented you from putting one right back on. Helmet wearing monsters
who polymorphed into minotaurs weren't affected at all. And message
handling always assumed multiple horns even though we have some singled
horned monsters, but since all those have no hands they can't wear any
armor and that potential pluralization issue wasn't noticeable.
Various damage types which wouldn't work when a cancelled monster
attacks the player were working when it attacked other monsters instead.
Besides attempting to fix that, this also makes cloaks and other magic
blocking armor ("magic cancellation factor") work for monsters similar
to the way it works for the player.
Most types of damage appear to revert to physical damage when the
attacker is cancelled; I'm not sure that's appropriate in many of the
instances. The leg-pricking case was clearly wrong, since it gives
messages about the attack failing yet still hurt the character.
This really needs a lot more testing than I have energy for. I've
tried to clean up various inconsistencies and may have made some typos
in the process.

Menu styles `partial' and `full' will let you remove any type of
item from the three weapon slots via the 'A' command, but `traditional'
and `combination' would only do that for the primary weapon slot. For
the alternate weapon and quiver slots, the item in question had to be
one which can normally be wielded or worn, otherwise when choosing the
object class letter you'd be told that it was "Not applicable." And
for wearable items, you needed to be really wearing one of that class
(besides the quivered one) or else you'd get "not wearing any amulet"
or similar.
Make sure the three instances of special fire effects stay
synchronized in the future by moving the relevant code into its own
routine.
Shouldn't fire vortices and fire elementals also yield "already
on fire"? How about ice vortices "melting"?
Fix the reported problem of getting impossible warnings for unpaid
inventory items during final disclosure if you level teleport out of
the dungeon while holding shop goods. The fix makes you trigger a shop
robbery first; that required a minor end of game change to prevent the
shopkeeper from seeming to tag along (shk would take your possessions
as if you'd died on the shop level).

Forwarded from the newsgroup: when a monster gets hit by wand or
spell of polymorph, any armor that fell off was protected from being
hit by that same zap, but a dropped weapon wasn't. Nor was the whole
dropped inventory in the case where the monster is killed by system
shock rather than transformed. Protect its entire inventory.
When Angels were introduced, they were always lawful. Somewhere along the
line, non-lawful angels were added, but is_lminion and uses of it was never
updated to address this change. Among other things, this resulted in
non-lawful angels delivering messages via #chat that are only appropriate
for lawful angels. That is addressed simply by changing the definition of
is_lminion, which must take a struct monst, not a permonst, to return valid
results. Also, non-lawful angels should summon appropriate monsters, not
lawful minions.
Incorporate a fix from <Someone> that resets the timestamp on
stinking clouds left in bones files. This does allow the cloud's ttl to
restart. Extended it to reset the player_inside flag.
Then noticed that the only placed that called in_out_region was domove().
Added calls when changing levels (which causes player_inside to be set
correctly if the cloud covers the location where the player starts on the
bones level), teleporting, and inside hurtle_step. There are still other
places that fail to call in_out_region, which others may choose to tackle.
I split out the remaining stinking cloud bug reported in the same e-mail
into a separate betabug. That one probably cannot be addressed without
changing the level file format to track the creator.
Fix the reported bug of an unskilled rider who is unable to pick
items off the floor while mounted still being able to dip into water.
There might be other actions which need similar checking; this one only
handles the dip into pool/moat case.
Instead of adding a new artifact.h to pray.c, remove the existing
ones from attrib.c, invent.c, and mkobj.c. This also updates the Unix
and VMS editions of Makefile.src; having stale dependencies in those
for other ports could cause unnecessary recompilation but can't break
anything in this case.
Noticed while testing something recently: if you're wearing
a non-cursed ring of levitation but can't remove it because of
some other cursed item, you'll never get the high priority result
of TROUBLE_LEVITATION when praying. This remedies that.
Provide more control over message handling for monsters' use
of equipment. This fixes the statue revival problem (inappropriate
feedback when monster puts on speed boots) mentioned in the earlier
"intrinsics of dead monsters" patch.
