There is a lot of code affected by this, and Pat Rankin correctly
observes that it would be better to store roguelike as a level flag
rather than just using Is_rogue_level. A note for the future.
Mostly it's just project formats, but VS2013 does require
parallel compilation to be turned off and synchronous
PDB writes to be turned on (since we reuse intermediate
output directories).
Cleaning that up is for some time in the future.
This change has two parts.
First, the Book of the Dead now has a special message in lava. This was
originally added by Steve Melenchuk (aka Grunt) as a precaution against the Book
burning up. While I'm pretty sure that the Book can't burn up in the current
codepath, the message is a nice touch and it doesn't help to add a safety check.
Second, always print the inventory destruction messages. The reason for this is
fairly subtle, but relates to the timing. By not printing the messages when
dying, the visible effect to the player is that if they have lifesaving, the
items burn up before they die, but if they do not, they burn up after they
die---the fact that they do burn up is visible in the dump or bonesfile.
This avoids a player being left standing on lava if their boots are burned up and
they survive the damage.
This change is originally due to Steve Melenchuk, fixed up by Derrick Sund.
Simplify retouch_equipment (post-3.4.3.code, called when hero
changes alignment or turns into a silver-hating critter; inventory
traversal must cope with the possibility of losing object->nobj when
processing object) by switching to recently added object->bypass code.
From a bug report, dropping a lit
(burning) potion of oil while levitating can produce an explosion which can
destroy inventory. If in the process of dropping multiple items, the ones
after the oil might be gone, resulting in use of stale pointers and possibly
triggering an "extract_nobj: object lost" panic or even a crash. While
testing my fix, I discovered that being killed by an exploding potion of oil
could produce an "object_is_local" panic if bones are saved (and reproduced
with unmodified 3.4.3).
