When reading a novel, select a random passage which hasn't been shown
already. Once you've run through all the passages, it resets to get
them all again (with new random order that might happen to the be same
order if there aren't many passages). Switching to a different novel--
even another copy of the same one--will cause the previous passage
selection to be discarded and restarted from scratch if the prior book
is read again. Passage tracking for the most recently read novel is
kept across save and restore. (That means I needed to bump EDITLEVEL,
so it will need to be reset to 0 again before release.)
The memory leak (monst->mextra->edog, monst->mextra->mname,
monst->mextra for some monster were not released) I noticed recently
was due to recording a pet's full monster attributes with its corpse.
During save and restore, obj->oextra->omonst was being treated as a
full-fledged monster so worked as intended, but when freed, omonst
was treated as a black box and its mextra details weren't handled.
This should address the issue that the problem patch to display_pickinv()
was trying to deal with: releasing the inventory window before exiting
the program so Pasi's memory checker doesn't think it's a memory leak.
Not related, but in the same file:
The older qsort comparison routines are tagged with CFDECLSPEC to deal
with some C vs C++ interaction issue. I added that to the relatively
recently added 'sortloot' qsort compare callback.
I also changed worn_wield_only(), although it isn't actually called.
(display_minventory() has provisions to call it, but both of the latter's
callers pass in MINV_ALL so allow_all() gets used instead.)
Move this small utility routine to hacklib.c where other such things
live and where it's feasible to find them if you need the functionality
elsewhere.
Replace the code that Dean objected to with something a little bit more
robust. It doesn't rely on the two stacks being adjacent or having the
same inventory letter. It is still vulnerable to having another
splitobj() occur between the offending split and its attempted unsplit,
or to either of the two halves of a split being extracted from their
object chain. As before, failure to unsplit only results in the two
halves of the split remaining separate stacks, not anything more drastic
like the panic() that prompted all this.
Simplification of hallucinated currency names got mixed in with this
patch. I haven't bothered separating it back out.
Whoever reset PATCHLEVEL to 0 jumped the gun. This patch increments it
since change to the 'context' structure breaks save file compatibility,
so it will need to undergo another reset before release.
Flesh out wet towels a bit:
1) wielding a wet towel--or a dry one which becomes wet--won't give a
"you begin bashing with your wet towel" message when attacking;
2) if a formerly wet towel dries out completely while wielded, *do* give
"you begin bashing with your towel" on the next attack;
3) successfully hitting with a wet towel no longer always loses wetness;
4) water damage to dry towel always confers at least 1 point of wetness;
5) taking fire damage (via burnarmor() which is used for most types of
fire damage) has a chance to partially or fully dry a wet towel
(regardless of whether it's wielded at the time; applies to monsters
as well as hero; each towel being carried is checked until one is
affected, then any others escape drying.
Not done:
-) attacking with a wielded wet towel perhaps ought to be treated as a
weapon attack using whip skill rather than an augmented arbitrary-
junk-by-weight attack;
-) throwing a wet towel should probably ignore wetness--it's just a wet
piece of cloth when not finishing with a whip snap; right now, it
loses a point of wetness when thrown and usually--#3 above--another
point if it hits...;
-) hitting burning creatures is no different than hitting anything else;
-) likewise for hitting wet creatures.
Implement the suggestion that applying a non-cursed unicorn horn can
cure deafness like other similar troubles. Also, applying a cursed one
can cause deafness, although I made the chance be half of what it is
for the other troubles since they tend to be more significant.
This is entry #2 on the bugzilla list, but I haven't figured out how to
update that yet.
Allow one item to be taken out of a pile, and leave framework in place
for partial splits so that all monsters will take up to their capacity,
rather than leaving the whole pile if it's too big to take all at once.

Add a couple more tribute easter eggs.
- can lead to a remark by Death if you happen to have a pratchett book on
your person, as suggested by M. Stephenson (fat chance you will, or
think to #chat if you do, but it could be a tournament novelty or something
obscure to strive for).
- can draw some additional Death quotes from the tribute file. (There's two
in there right now. If anyone wants to add or suggest some more, please go
ahead. The Death quotes are at the end of the tribute file. One-liners
only please or the code will only pull the last line.
Three fixes, the first leading to the need to fix the second, and that
fix making dealing with the third be straightforward.
First, make the furthest level reached in any given branch be considered
interesting by #overview, even if no interesting features have been
encountered. This will result in listing Gnomish Mines and their first
level when someone goes down the stairs and immediately back up. It will
also produce a reminder of how far you've been--in each branch--after
retreating for any reason, without the need to manually add an annotation.
Second, #overview was suppressing the range of level numbers for Sokoban
because the author realized that the values were wrong. The record of
the furthest level reached was incorrect for builds-up branches, always
sticking with the deepest level even though it was the entrance. The
overview patch neglected to do the same suppression for Vlad's Tower and
the level range ("36 to 38" or similar) there was wrong. This fixes the
furthest level reached problem and also fixes #overview's level range
handling for builds-up branches.
Third and last, a long-standing issue which I don't think has ever been
formally reported: the level difficulty calculation used for monster
creation treated the upper (harder to get to) levels of builds-up branches
as if they were easier since they're closer to the surface as the gopher
burrows. So sokoban generated easier monsters on its final level than on
the ones leading up to that. Make depth for difficulty purposes account
for descent to the entrance and then ascent to the level of interest.
There was a distressing amount of trial and error involved. The dungeon
layout structures are not exactly easy to work with, and I never managed
to get builds_up() based on branch data to work correctly. Basing it on
dungeon data works as intended provided the branch has more than one
level, but it will yield incorrect result if we ever add a single-level
branch reached via stairs up rather than stairs down.
Honor things like OPTIONS:role=!tourist and NETHACKOPTIONS='race=!orc'
when performing interactive role selection. I don't think it was
completely correct when players let the program choose, but it must
have been close enough because we haven't gotten any complaints.
The post-3.4.3 interactive selection was ignoring options-base filtering
entirely and did get complaints for the pre-beta.
Role selection has a ton of code which bloats the program without doing
anything useful for actual game play. It ought to be split off into a
separate front end.

Add "(glowing light blue)" to the formatted object description when
Sting or Orcrist is glowing due to presence of orcs or "(glowing red)"
if Grimtooth is glowing due to elves. Use "(glowing)" if blind;
assumes that some aspect of the glow (perhaps warmth or vibration) can
be noticed via touch.
Make enlightenment's "you are warned about <monster class> because of
<artifact>" catch up with Orcrist and Grimtooth. It was attributing
Orcrist's warning against orcs to Sting, and Grimtooth's warning was
against "something" rather than elves.
The glow color is now a new field in artilist[], so the biggest part
of this patch is adding an extra value to each artifact's definition.
Implement Boudewijn's suggestion that #name be extended to allow naming
something of the floor. I'm sure he wants this so that he can avoid
picking up gray stones, but it's something I started to implement years
ago (probably at an earlier suggestion from him...) and then forgot all
about.
This changes the #name menu to be
m - a monster
i - a particular object in inventory
o - the type of an object in inventory
f - the type of an object upon the floor
d - the type of an object on discoveries list
a - record an annotation for the current level
What do you want to name?
with the i and o choices omitted when inventory is empty. If the
'lootabc' option is set it will use a through f instead, but then the
last three entries change letters when inventory is empty. 'y' and 'n'
are still accelerators (effectively hidden choices) for the i and o
entries, corresponding to the answers for the 3.4.3 and earlier "name
an individual object?" prompt.
The floor choice asks you to pick a location. If you pick yourself,
then the top object of the pile underneath you is targetted. Otherwise,
the target must be an object glyph, and the object must have its dknown
bit set, so have previously been seen up close or revealed via blessed
potion of object detection. To make it be more useful, targetting an
object on an adjacent square will set the dknown bit. (Just the top
object if there is a pile there.) There's no cockatrice corpse touch
check since you aren't actually touching anything, just looking.
The setting of dknown bit for an adjacent object has been extended to
the '/' and ';' commands for examining things on the screen as well.
It's only done for adjacent spots you actively select, not all 8 spots
around you.
MSGTYPE allows the user to define how messages in the message
area behave. For example:
MSGTYPE=stop "You swap places with "
would always make that message prompt for -more-. Allowed types
are "show" (normal message), "hide" (do not show), "stop" (wait
for user), and "norep" (do not repeat message).
Adding this, because it's relatively simple, proven to work, and
it seemed to be the major thing betatesters felt was lacking when
compared to NAO.
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.
Make the post-3.4.3 '#terrain' command be more versatile by allowing the
player to choose between floor-only, floor+traps, and floor+traps+objects
so that it is possible to view known traps covered by objects or monsters
and remembered objects covered by monsters. The extra explore mode and
wizard mode choices aren't affected.
Move the message given when a monster digs through a closed door
or a secret corridor into a separate routine. In theory, nethack
should determine whether there is a path between the new opening
and the hero's location in order to decide whether a draft can
be felt. (I don't think anyone is likely to implement that--I'm
certainly not. Checking whether the hero is in a room with no
breaches in its walls could at least catch being inside a vault.)
While at it, add some USA-centric puns about feeling the prospect
of imminent military conscription instead of air current if it
happens while hallucinating.
