When hunger state is "not hungry" (so omitted from the status line),
say so in the status section of ^X output. Mainly so that wizard
mode can append the internal nutrition value without inserting an
entire line that [previously] wouldn't be present in regular play.
Show an internal value for encumbrance too, although that would be
better if it also included some indication of the amount where the
encumbrance state changes. Encumbrance is confusing and I didn't
pursue that.
Track sokoban cheating (taking actions that incur a luck penalty).
The pull request only reported the number of times (possibly zero)
that the player broke nethack's sokoban rules when reporting the
"you obtained the Sokoban prize" achievement, which is when the
count is most meaningful, but this implements it as a full-fledged
conduct instead. This way the #conduct command can be used after
"creative nethacking" to check immediately whether an action has
violated the Sokoban rules so a player willing to put in a bit of
effort can eventually learn which actions have a negative impact.
The new conduct is only shown during games where the character has
entered the Sokoban branch, but once that has happened it gets shown
no matter the location at the time of #conduct or end of game.
Most of this wasn't in the pull request: expanding the Guidebook to
give more information about sokoban and its conduct.
Bump EDITLEVEL to invalidate to-be-3.7 save files because u.uconduct
has been extended.
Fixes#355
Record reaching experience level 3, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, and 30,
the levels where the character gets a new rank title, and report
those as achievements at end of game. These achievements persist
even if enough levels to lose a rank are lost, and if lost ranks
are regained the original achievement is the one that gets tracked
and disclosed.
Introduce eight achievements that can be attained by more players.
Entered Gnomish Mines - self explanatory
Entered Mine Town - the town portion, not just the level
Entered a shop - any tended shop on any level
Entered a temple - likewise for temple
Consulted the Oracle - bought at least one major or minor oracle
Read a Discworld Novel - read at least one passage
Entered Sokoban - like mines
Entered the Big Room - not always possible since not always present
The novel and bigroom ones aren't always achieveable since novels are
only guaranteed if a book or scroll shop gets created and bigroom is
only guaranteed in wizard mode. No one ever claimed that every
possible achievement can be attained in a single game. (If one for
entering the Fort Ludios level--or perhaps entering the Fort itself--
eventually gets add, that won't be possible in every game either.)
The mine town one probably needs some tweaking. Two of the town's
seven variants have no town boundary (despite a rectangular area of
pre-defined map) and at present simply arriving on either of those
levels is enough to be credited with the entered-town achievement.
Bump EDITLEVEL because u.uachieved[] has increased in size. This
time it has been expanded to the maximum that xlogfile's bitmask of
achievements can handle, enough for up to 9 more achievements without
another EDITLEVEL increment.
Instead of an assortment of bits, assign numeric indices to the
potential achievements and keep an array of those in the order they
were attained. So disclosure might show the same subset occurring
differently in different games depending on the player's actions.
The encoded field in xlogfile doesn't care about that and remains
the same.
Modifies 'struct u', so EDITLEVEL has been incremented and existing
save files are invalidated.
Developed for 3.6 but deferred to 3.7. Most of the testing was with
the earlier incarnation.
Report was that pronouns were accurate for the underlying monsters
when hallucination was describing something random, and also that the
gender prefix flag from bogusmon.txt wasn't being used. The latter
is still the case, but pronouns are now chosen at random while under
the influence of hallucination. One of the choices is plural and an
attempt is made to make the monster name and verb fit that usage.
|The homunculus picks up a wand of speed monster.
|The large cats zap themselves with a wand of speed monster!
|The blue dragon is suddenly moving faster.
There is no attempt to match gender for the singular cases; you might
get
|The succubus zaps himself [...]
or
|The incubus zaps herself [...]
Make some progress on a couple of next minor release checklist
items, hopefully without introducing too many new bugs. This
is just the initial commit, and work continues.
Checklist items:
Savefiles compatible between Windows versions, whether 64-bit
or 32-bit in little-endian field format.
Selection of file formats:
historical (structlevel saves),
lendian (little-endian, fieldlevel saves),
and just for proof-of-concept, ascii fieldlevel saves
(the ascii is huge! 10x bigger than little-endian).
For the fieldlevel save, all complex data structures recursively
get broken down until until it is one of the simple types that
can't be broken down any further, and that gets when it gets
written to the output file.
New files needed for this build:
hand-coded:
include/sfprocs.h
src/sfbase.c - really a dispatcher to one of the
output/input format routines.
src/sflendian.c - little-endian output writer/reader.
src/sfascii.c - ascii text output writer/reader.
auto-coded (generated):
include/sfproto.h
src/sfdata.c
This is just one approach. I'm sure there are countless others
and they have different pros and cons.
For producing the auto-coded files a utility called
universal-ctags, that is actively maintained and evolving,
was used to do all the heavy-lifting of parsing the
NetHack C sources to tabulate the data fields, and store
them in an intermediate file called util/nethack.tags
(not required for building NetHack if you already have a
generated include/sfproto.h and src/sfdata.c)
util/readtags (also not required for building NetHack
itself) will decipher the nethack.tags file and produce
the functions that can deal with the NetHack struct data
fields.
You can obtain the source for universal-ctags by cloning it
from here:
https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags.git
The combination universal-ctags + util/readtags has been
tried and tested under both Windows and Linux, so it is
not tied to a particular platform.
Note: util/readtags will work only with universal-ctags
output, so other ctags are unlikely to work as-is.
Universal-ctags can be build from source very easily
under Linux, or under Windows using visual studio.
Hero polymorphed into a vampire or v.lord can use #monster to switch
to vampire bat or fog cloud [or wolf for lord] but it was a one shot
polymorph. Remember when current form is a shape-shifted vampire and
allow #monster in shifted form to pick another shifted form or the
vampire form.
Genocide of the alternate shape forces back to base vampire. Genocide
of base vampire does too, then reverts to human (or dwarf, &c) as
vampires go away. Being killed while shafe-shifted reverts all the
way to human rather than to vampire. [Just realized: interaction
with Unchanging wasn't taken into consideration so hasn't been tested.]
Since 'youmonst' isn't saved and restored, I had to add a field to 'u'
to hold youmonst.cham during save/restore.
Tested with 3.6.2+ and seemed to be working (except saving while
shape-shifted restored as ordinary bat/cloud/wolf because new u.mcham
wasn't there to hold youmonst.cham yet). Builds with 3.7.0- but not
execution tested yet (I didn't want to clobber my current playground).
Most shop messages accurately identify the shopkeeper even when he
or she can't be seen, but some also include a pronoun reference that
ended up as "it" or "its" when not seen. Extend pronoun selection
so that visibility can be ignored: noit_mhe(mon), noit_mhim(mon),
and noit_mhis(mon). Note that despite being called noit_foo(),
those will still return "it" if mon is neuter.
"Accurately identify shopkeeper" is misleading if the hero is
hallucinating; a random shopkeeper name is used then. noit_foo()
yields the pronoun applicable to the actual shopkeeper and might
not match the gender of a hallucinatory name. That could be fixed
in a couple of ways (add shk_mhe()/shk_mhim()/shk_mhis() and either
pass them the randomly chosen name so that they can figure out the
appropriate gender, or just have them use a random gender whenever
hallucinating) but I don't think that's worth bothering with.
A bunch of shop messages needed noit_foo(); only a couple of those
have actually been tested. A bunch more were using shkname() at
the beginning of a sentence where Shknam() should be used instead.
(All the existing shk names are already capitalized so there's no
noticeable difference.)
The three places outside shk.c and vault.c which directly use
pronoun_gender() have been successfully tested.
Some groundwork for detection enhancements.
you.h - just formatting
flag.h - add iflags.save_uswallow so that u.uswallow manipulation ...
save.c - ... can be undone if a hangup save occurs
A couple of reports asked what weird unit of measure was used for the
'realtime' value in xlogfile. It was just seconds, but was accumulating
incorrectly whenever game-state got saved for the checkpoint option.
Now it really is seconds, or rather whatever unit you get for the delta
of two time_t values; usually seconds but not guaranteed to be that.
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.
Give 20 experience points the first time the hero reads a passage
from a tribute novel. It's enough to go from level 1 to 2 or from
2 to 3. By the time a book store is found, that's too trivial for
most to care about, but it's potentially useful to a pacifist.
For those pro players who really want to try their hand
at that zen samurai, without needing to reroll thousands
of times to start with blindfold. Nudist starts without
any armor, and keeps tabs whether you wore any during
the game, for even more bragging rights.
Also makes the Book of the Dead readable even while
blind, for obvious reasons.
Change how overview data is handled if/when you get expelled from
the quest: mark quest levels as unreachable rather than discarding their
overview data, so that it can be included in end of game disclosure (and
can be revived if you manage to return to your quest branch by invoking
the W quest artifact).
Order of endgame levels was odd: earth followed by astral, water,
fire, and air, because the code didn't know how to insert in front of the
first one visited. Now it does. Placement of endgame levels was sub-
optimal: since that has the highest internal dungeon branch number, it
came out last. Now it is forced to come out first, so that it appears
above the dungeon. And use "Plane of Earth" for level name rather than
"Plane 1", and so on for the others, when in the endgame.
Since I'm bumping EDITLEVEL due to adding mapseen.flags.unreachable,
I am also inserting u.uevent.uvibrated now so that it won't trigger another
EDITLEVEL increment. At the moment it doesn't do anything except get set
when you receive the "you feel strange vibrations <under you>" message.
The level where that occurs will eventually have an automatic annotation
of some sort.
Redo the fix that prevents hangup from putting hero on top of water
if it occurs during magic mapping or object/gold/trap detection. Instead
of copying u.uinwater into another field in struct u so that it can be
reset during restore, copy it into a new field in struct iflags and reset
it during save so that no fixup upon restore is needed.
Noticed while looking at the magic mapping code: u.uinwater is
cleared during mapping and detection so that map updating isn't suppressed
due to underwater vision restrictions, and it was possible for a hangup
save to take place before that state field was reset. After restore, the
hero would end up standing on water, then fall in on the next turn. This
saves it in struct `u' rather than in a local variable, so that the stored
value is accessible during restore.
The u.uburied flag was being ignored, but presumeably it would also
impose severe vision restrictions if it ever gets implemented, so it is
now saved, temporarily cleared, and restored along with u.uinwater during
monster/object/gold/trap detection and magic mapping.
There was an issue reported where save files between different
versions of a manufacturer's compiler were incompatible because the time_t
ubirthday field was changed from 32 bits to 64 bits.
32 bit time_t implementations will break at 19:14:07 on January 18, 2038.
64 bit time_t implementations will break at 23:59:59 on December 31, 3000.
This removes the dependency on the size of time_t from the save file.
The ubirthday field is no longer embedded in struct you.
This also adds two general purpose routines to hacklib.c, one to convert a time
value to a 14 character char representation and the other to convert that
back to time_t. Those are used by the save/restore routines.
This is a savefile breaking change, so editlevel in patchlevel.h was
incremented.
Remove a couple of false comments about Luck, and an unreachable
switch case based upon them. I don't know if the comment in you.h was ever
true, but it was false by the time Kevin brought across assorted changes
from slash'em however many years ago. Full moon does not change the range
of possible Luck values, and ``rn2((Luck + 6) >> 1)'' produces a value
between 0 and 8 for prayer result, never 9. Natural luck is always within
the range of -10 to +10, and extra luck from carrying blessed or cursed
luckstone can add or subtract another 3. Full moon and Friday the 13th
change the equilibrium point for luck timeout but do not change the overall
range of possible values, which remains at -13 to +13.
<email deleted> sent a report with
subject "Vampire-dancing can give you unlimited maxhp/maxmp" about how you
can manipulate your hit points and spell energy by using equipment to
lower Con and Wis prior to deliberately losing a level, then switching to
alternate gear to raise them prior to gaining the trivial 1 XP needed to
regain the lost level. With Stormbringer (to toss up so that it falls on
your head) or spell of drain level (to cast at yourself), you can do this
level toggling as much as you like since it doesn't consume any resources
in the process. All you is a supply of non-threatening monsters to kill
for the regaining half.
In March he sent "vampire-dancing (patch)" which didn't include a
patch but did give a URL ( http://nethack.angband.pl/vampdance.patch )
for one. That contained his suggested fix: recording the hit points and
energy points given each time you gain a level and then using those exact
amounts when you lose the corresponding level. It's still possible to
manipulate HP and Pw by losing multiple levels after you've boosted Con
and Wis to ascension ready status (you'll lose the original values but can
expect to get better ones when gaining levels back), but can only gain a
modest improvement and repeating it doesn't augment the effectiveness.
Plus it's much harder to regain multiple levels than it is to get just one.
His patch had a couple of bugs which I've fixed. I suppose that there
could be additional potential problems but the idea and its implementation
are both pretty straightforward. (This doesn't address the other recently
reported situation of using polymorph into "new man" while at level one to
multiply HP and Pw.)
Introduce a new set of functions to manage delayed killers in the trunk, used
in addressing the various reports of delayed killer confusion. Since existing
delayed killers are related to player properties, the delayed killers are
keyed by uprop indexes. I did this to avoid adding yet another set of
similar identifiers.
- the new delayed_killer() is used for stoning, sliming, sickness, and
delayed self-genocide while polymorphed. Some other timed events don't
use it (and didn't use the old delayed_killer variable) because they
use a fixed message when the timeout occurs.
- A new data structure, struct kinfo, is used to track both delayed and
immediate killers. This encapsulates all the info involved with
identifying a killer. The structure contains a buffer, which subsumes the
old killer_buf and several other buffers that didn't/couldn't use killer_buf.
- the killer list is saved and restored as part of the game state.
- the special case of usick_cause was removed and a delayed killer list
entry is now used in its place
- common code dealing with (un)sliming is moved to a new make_slimed function
- attempted to update all make dependencies for new end.c -> lev.h
dependency, sorry if I messed any up
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.
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.
