Somewhat similar to 'mention_walls', 'mention_decor' is a way to
request additional feedback when moving around the map. It reports
furniture or unusual terrain when you step on that. Normally stepping
on furniture only mentions it when it is covered by object(s). And
moving onto (rather than into) water or lava or ice doesn't bother
saying anything at all. With the new option set there will be a
message. It uses Norep so won't repeat when moving from one water
spot to another or one lava spot to another or one ice spot to another
unless there has been at least one intervening message. There is also
a one-shot message when moving from water or lava or ice onto ordinary
terrain (not Norep, just once since there's no land to land message).
Having the verbose flag Off doesn't inhibit these new messages but it
does shorten them: "A fountain." instead of "There is a fountain here."
The Guidebook gets a new subsection "Movement feedback" of the "Rooms
and corridors" section and it covers more than just 'mention_decor'.
As usual, Guidebook.tex is untested.
'mention_decor' persists across save/restore, so 'struct flags' has
changed and EDITLEVEL is being bumped, hence save files are invalided.
This turned out to be a lot more work than I anticipated, but it is
definitely simpler (other than having #wizmakemap take achievements
away if you replace the level that contains the 'prize', which wasn't
handled before).
I cheated and made Mine's End into a no-bones level because the new
flagging scheme for luckstone, bag, and amulet can't carry over from
one game to another. It probably should have been no-bones all along.
Sokoban didn't have this issue because it's already no-bones.
Existing save files are invalidated.
Move 'implicit_uncursed' and 'mention_walls' from iflags to flags to
make their current setting persist across save/restore. Invalidates
existing save files.
If the core frees the obj struct referred by lua, don't free it,
just mark it as OBJ_LUAFREE - lua will free it in gc once all
the references to it are gone.
Whenever a lua script references a core struct obj, increment a counter
in the obj struct. Core code will not free the obj, if there are any
lua references pointing to it, just makes it free-floating.
When lua script ends, the lua gc will free the free-floating objects.
Also exposes u.inventory to lua.
Breaks save and bones compat.
Bite the bullet and add a special purpose boolean option to control
game behavior for random clairvoyance. When objects or monsters are
discovered, it normally issues "you sense your surroundings" and
performs a getpos() operation which allows the player to browse the
map by moving the cursor around and getting 'autodescribe' feedback.
But there have been complaints that once the hero has the Amulet
(which triggers random clairvoyance even though hero isn't flagged
as having that attribute) the message and pause-to-browse become too
intrusive.
This was initially combined with the 'timed clairvoyance' fix because
they both bump EDITLEVEL to invalidate existing save files, but their
details don't interact so I separated them.
When the hero has random clairvoyance, the code used
| (moves % 15) == 0 && rn2(2) != 0
(where 'moves' is actually the turn number) to decide when it would
kick in and show a portion of the map. If the hero was fast enough
to get an extra move when the turn value met the (moves % 15) == 0
condition then clairvoyance could happen twice (or more if poly'd)
on the same turn.
The changes (one new field, reordering a few others) in 'struct
context' invalidate existing 3.7.0-x save files.
Fixes#266
Izchak implemented the mysterious force and as far as I'm concerned,
it's here to stay. But it can be fine tuned. This is an experimental
attempt to make it happen less. Each time it happens, the chance for
it happening again later will usually go down by an amount proportional
to how far it sent the hero back. So chaotics will be sent back--or
"side to side"--less often than in 3.6.x but the tapering off of such
occurrences will be slower for them. Lawfuls will also be sent back
less often--still potentially farther down than others--but tapering
off of send backs for them will be quicker.
I'll let somebody else figure out the before and after values for
number of attempts to climb up it takes to finally get out of Gehennom.
The numbers might need tuning.
Move option variable goldX (True: treat gold as BUC unknown, False:
treat gold as uncursed during BUCX filtering) from iflags to flags
so that it persists across save/restore.
Get rid of a few obsolete things from struct flags.
Try to make the 'cursesgraphics' option work although I don't think
that it was ever functional enough for anybody to use so probably
could have been removed instead.
Bump EDITLEVEL; any current save files are invalid.
Demote status from Beta to Work-in-Progress.
I modified src/sfdata.c manually (not included here) to get a full
build. The Unix Makefile.src needs to be taught when and how to
regenerate it.
From Bart...
When we are creating the console font for testing character widths,
we were not specifying width. Because of this, the created font's
average width might be larger then what we expect and we might
falsely detect that the font was inappropriate for playing Nethack.
Fix provides the width that we are expecting when creating the font.
