Looting a container generates a menu which contains ': - look inside'
but the recent change to make ':' be a menu command for selecting
items which match a search string made it impossible to pick that item.
(Well, I suppose you could enter a search string which matched it, but
that's a nuisance compared to just directly picking a choice.) This
makes menu selection for tty give precedence to menu choice characters
over mapped menu commands when some character happens to be both. I'm
not sure whether it ought to be expended to group accelerators too, so
didn't do that.
There's bound to be a better way to do this, but it works.
Restricting the text display only to the end of game disclose,
so it doesn't clutter the inventory during gameplay and so that
the readability of t-shirts is not given away.
If a menu item was longer than terminal width, the menu wasn't
cleared away after it was finished with. This easily happened
when an inventory item was named.
Bag of tricks that had been used at least once was being described
as "empty" regardless of charge count, because it always fails the
Has_contents() test. After half this patch fixed that, it started
being flagged as "empty" as soon as the last charge was used rather
than after attempting to use it again after that, since 'cknown' was
being set whenever it was used. Only set that flag when applying
the bag has been observed to fail.
My dog bit an acid blob and triggered a crash, caught by SYSCF panictrace
but yielding confusing information. The backtrace included a call from
'rustm()+N' that turned out to be passivemm(), which was deferencing a
null pointer since no weapon was involved.

This addresses the "hiding under nothing" bug, but does not
address this flavor comment also included in the report:

This fixes the code violation, but the logic will now drop down to the
ghost/wraith/zombie code when that happens.
Is that desireable, or should something else happen (for variety)?
Unix command line processing required that the initial 'd' of
"-DECgraphics" be lowercase so that it wouldn't conflict with -D for
wizard mode. This retains -D for wizard mode and now also recognizes
"-debug" (case insensitive, but full 5 letters necessary) for the same
thing, and allows "-DECgraphics" to be capitalized as it is throughout
the rest of the program (actual matching is case-insensitive, so "-dec"
and "-decgraphics" still work. It now requires that anything after
"DEC" match the rest of that string instead of accepting "-DECanthing"
as a synonym for "-DECgraphics". Likewise for "-IBMgraphics": when
more than 3 letters are supplied, the extra ones must be an initial
substring of "graphics" rather than arbitrary characters.
The raw_printf() warnings don't actually work as intended, but that
isn't a change from the old behavior so I've left them in for now.
DECgraphics, IBMgraphics, and MACgraphics used to be recognized when
at least 3 letters were supplied back when they were true boolean
options. When they got demoted to shortcuts for the symset option,
they started needing 10 (DEC and IBM) or all 11 (MAC), otherwise
triggering "bad syntax in NETHACKOPTIONS" (or config file). Revert
to having the first three letters be sufficient.
This old feature alert from 3.3.0 is pretty stale, so remove
if from the code because everybody has probably suppressed
it by now.
/* Because 'Q' used to be quit... */
if (flags.suppress_alert < FEATURE_NOTICE_VER(3,3,0))
pline("Note: Please use #quit if you wish to exit the game.");
With SYSCF, the SYSCF_FILE name was overwriting the
default config file name making it unavailable for
subsequent user config file options handling.
- Keep the name of the last config file successfully opened.
- Do it without orphaning the default config file name needed
for the next pass.
Reported by Alex, the probabilites shown in the comment about the effect
of the mysterious force have been wrong ever since they were added 20 or
so years ago. Lawfuls and neutrals are much more likely to go down just
one level rather than 2 or 3.
No, not a blindness cure. :-} Post-3.4.3 revisions to makesingular()
inadvertently made it impossible to successfully wish for "the Eyes
of the Overworld" because the string got changed into "the Eye of the
Overworld" which doesn't match anything. So don't singularize "eyes".
(After this fix, wishing for "the Eyes of the Aethiopica" no longer
yields the Eye of same, but I think that's the correct behavior.)
Since that line of code is used by a lot of different ports, I decided to
recant its removal and just add #ifdef to ensure it isn't compiled on WIN32.
I think other ports might encounter the same issue where the first pass with
filename set to 'sysconf', is then going to overwrite the hard-coded user
config file name, but I can't fix or test those so for those ports, it
will be now be back the way it was.
