Setting CHECK_PLNAME to 1 makes WIZARDS, EXPLORERS, and SHELLERS
check the player name instead of the user's login name.
This is mostly useful for public servers which have external
login system and don't create user accounts for players.
Without rewriting the complete commit history, we cannot adjust
the committer names or emails. Luckily git allows mapping committer
names and email via the .mailmap file in the repo.
Most visible difference is when using "git shortlog -sne"
Without this, the keyboard commands don't work in the extended
command window on Linux. If the translations are removed from
menuformview, then the keyboard commands don't work on Mac.
Having the translations in both doesn't seem to hurt.
When entering an extended command, allow the user just type
and match a new command immediately, if no match was found,
instead of needing to wait the 2.5 seconds.
There have been several comments on IRC how the Wizard is a very
light sleeper now; aggravate cast by monsters makes him wake up
and come out of the tower. So, lets limit aggravate to either
outside or inside of the tower, depending on which side the player is.
When levitating on the plane of water, get an unattached iron ball,
and throw it. You'll hurtle in the opposite direction, out of the air
bubble and into water, but don't drown.
This fixes bz23: Warning glyph info wrong with TRAPS=50, even
though you don't set the trap symbols via TRAPS anymore, the
bug still existed. To trigger it, use SYMBOL=S_arrow_trap:2
and look at monster that appears as warning '2'.
Original bug report:
> When killing something that's carrying a potion, or death-drops a potion,
> or stands on top of a potion, with a force bolt or a wand of striking,
> "you hear something shatter" or "a potion of foo shatters" but the corpse
> is inverse as if it's (still) a pile.
Unfortunately the newsym() checks for already existing glyph, and
the gbuf doesn't distinguish between object piles and single items,
so newsym doesn't mark the location for update.
This is a dirty hack to force the newsym to update the glyph.
The glyph buffering should be revisited in a future version.
Several people have asked if 3.6.0 supports playing with tiles on
a public server. Because there's no way for the user's end to know
what that white @ is, this adds special console escape codes for
tile hinting.
The idea was originally a patch called TelnetTiles by Justin Hiltscher,
but this expanded version comes via NAO, where it's been in use for years.
This is basically an interim hack, which should go away when/if
we support actual client-server model.
I've seen some complaints about not being able to kick with ^d
so add kick as an extended command.
Also add the missing #exploremode command to the Guidebook.
This was a request from a blind player. It's hard to find
the left edge of the menu when it's drawn on the map, so
clear the screen and align menus to the left edge of the screen
when this option is turned off.
Originally this was called the window edge patch.
This happens when levelporting to the first Sokoban level in wizard mode
before visiting the level, causing the branch stairs to not appear until
the space it is in comes in sight of the player.
The issue was that levels flagged premapped would cause the special
level coder to call sokoban_detect() before fixup_special() had a chance
to place the branch stairs properly.
Fix from Dynahack by Tung Nguyen.
Also #terrain command with dark_room on showed lit room floor on places with
objects or traps. We don't want to show dark room symbol anyway, because
the dark room symbols are only for line-of-sight, and #terrain should
override that...
It's occasionally important for public servers to notify
all the players. Sending a mail is not reliable, as not everyone
wants to break conduct, or have mail on.
This adds a compile-time defined filename, which NetHack
will monitor. The contents of the file are in the same
format as SIMPLE_MAIL: "sender:message" on one line.
Move autopickup exception, menucolor, and message type entries
in the options menu under "Other settings" -header, and reorders
them into alphabetical order.
Also use enums instead of hardcoded values.
Some people are confused by the boulder -option, and
SYMBOLS=S_boulder, so allow defining symbols with
OPTION-lines in addition to the SYMBOLS.
So these are the same thing:
SYMBOLS=S_boulder:0
OPTIONS=S_boulder:0
Some people try to set boolean options in the config file
by giving the option a parameter, so allow that:
OPTIONS=color:true
Allowed parameters are "true", "yes", "false", and "no".
Negating an option and giving it a parameter is an error.
Test case: Bigroom, full of boulders, with a single
path from travel start to travel end. Boulders (and
doors) are added to the travelstep[xy] arrays multiple
times, and will overflow the arrays.
Original patch via Acehack by Alex Smith
Test case: U-shaped corridor, with a known trap in it.
Before this change, travel would try to move straight at
the target, bumping the wall or walking into a dead-end.
After this, travel will go along the corridor and then stop
right before the trap.
