It was too early to call the windowport change_color() routine
while processing the config file. The windowport was not yet
fully operational.
Now the palette option processing will just place the rgb
value into the appropriate ga.altpalette[CLR_MAX] entry.
init_sound_disp_gamewindows(void) [allmain.c] calls
change_palette() [coloratt.c] and it will call the windowport
change_color() function for each ga.altpalette[] entry that
has been set.
Notes:
The rgb values stored in ga.altpalette[] have the NH_ALTPALETTE bit set
so that the rgb value of 0 can be stored and be distinguishable from
a "not set" entry.
The NH_ALTPALETTE bit is cleared from the rgb value in change_palette()
prior to calling the windowport change_color() function.
The syntax for palette is colorname/r-g-b.
For example: palette:black/12-12-12
colorname must be one of the NH_BASIC_COLOR names or a suitable
alias for one of those 16 entries.
Some of the windowport CHANGE_COLOR functions had the wrong parameters,
perhaps due to bitrot. Those have been corrected to match the prototype.
move the custom color data into its own field in the glyphmap
and disassociate it from the unicode/utf8 stuff.
move the glyphcache stuff during options processing and parsing
into new file glyphs.c and out of utf8map.c, and make it
general, and not part of ENHANCED_SYMBOLS.
Do the groundwork for allowing glyph color customizations to
work when any symset is loaded and not restrict it only to
the enhanced1 H_UTF8 symsets.
The customizations in effect are still affiliated with a particular
symset.
Also closes#1224, but the PR itself references a data structure
made obsolete by this commit. The curses comment from the PR was
added into the code.
The PR also made several suggestions, but only the first
one has been included in this commit (and no longer based on
the handler), that being:
"allow defining colors if other symbol handling modes are used
(possibly limited to the standard 16 colors)."
FredrIQ also wrote the following suggestions in PR#1224:
Something I was also contemplating, unrelated to implementation of this
support in curses, would be the ability for the following:
allow defining colors if other symbol handling modes are used (possibly limited to the standard 16 colors)
allow defining attributes (for example: glyph:G_pet_female_kitten:U+0066/red/underline)
allow specifying glyphs as wildcards for defining global color/attribute changes
Something I also want to see are keywords for "don't change the current defined data". If this
were to be added, you could for example do this:
OPTIONS=glyph:G_*_fox:U+0064/blue
OPTIONS=glyph:G_statue_*:basechar/gray/underline
for "make all foxes use a blue color, make all statues gray with underline" without needing
to specify the relevant character for every statue. This ("basechar", "basefg", etc)
should perhaps also be added for MENUCOLORS and statushilites, so that you can, for
example, underline all items being worn without needing to specify a bunch of
near-duplicate rules for combining BUC colors + underline worn items
as per #1064
The 0x1000000 bit (NH_BASIC_COLOR bit) was used to mark
CLR_BLACK when storing it in u->ucolor. Now, all of the basic CLR_*
colors are stored that way.
The NH_BASIC_COLOR bit indicates that the value in u->ucolor is
not an rgb value, rather it is one of the 0-15 basic NetHack colors.
The window-ports need to strip the NH_BASIC_COLOR bit off before using
it for color changes.
creates new coloratt.c file
Also, this attempts to fulfill a wish-list item by paxed, to
allow naming colors in symbols file by name as an alternative
to using r-g-b values. The basic color names as well as html
color names are supported.
I did my best to exempt some of the bigger aligned blocks from the reformatting
using the /* clang-format off */ and /* clang-format on */ tags. Probably some
that shouldn't have been formatted were anyway; if you encounter them, please
fix.
The clang-format tags were left in on the basis that it's much easier to prune
those out later than to put them back in, and it means that, modulo my custom
version of clang-format, I should be able to run clang-format on the source tree
again without changing anything, now that Pat has fixed the VA_DECL issues.
The intent is to look for platform-specific facilities for regex
matching, to provide portable MENUCOLORS configuration files.
This is a prototype implementation being committed to see if Windows can
use the POSIX regex implementation provided with the C++11 standard
library. If this works, I will write a harness for POSIX regexes and for
pmatch(), and those can be linked in by platforms as appropriate.
pmatch() should be used only as a very last resort, because it breaks
compatibility between platforms.

Using the material value SILVER in the "color"
field was wrong, no matter what the reason. I
suspect it was probably a mistake originally.
This patch does not alter the displayed colour for the
bug-fix release, but does correct the misuse of the
material.
