Highlighting via attributes got broken three months ago. May or
may not have been noticeable depending upon which attributes are
supported. Too many variations of attribute designations...
Messages on tty which bypass message history weren't handling long
lines properly. If the text wrapped to line 2, that continuation
portion was left on the screen after whatever operation that put it
here was finished. (To reproduce: assign a long name to a monster
with a long type name so that the combined length exceeds the display
width, then move the cursor over it with ';' or '/' while autodescribe
is On.)
This time prompting isn't adversely affected.
This effectively reverts 1ad2415315
because it was interfering with prompts that spanned more than one
line (by inserting '--More-- + erase' between displaying of prompt and
getting input for the answer).
So we're back to the situation where autodescribe feedback when moving
the cursor will leave text on the second line if it generates text too
wide for one line. (^R redraws the screen correctly.)

The earlier fix removed a valid optimization which happened to be
implemented incorrectly. Put that back. It also left an invalid
optimization when applied to conditions. Remove that one.
I don't think either of these explains truncating 'y' off of "Hungry"
which was shown in one of the reports.
Reported as #H8609 (1679)
Some code recently added to render_status() for BL_CONDITION:
if (!tty_condition_bits)
continue;
was short-circuiting the required copy of NOW
values to BEFORE values for later comparison
further down in the for-loop.
tty_status[BEFORE][idx] = tty_status[NOW][idx];
This caused some fields to be bypassed for rendering
once no more tty_condition_bits were set because the
length comparisons would match.
DEC C in one of its non-ANSI modes didn't like
fieldorder = test ? &array1 : &array2;
It first complained that '&' applied to an array has no effect (which
was typically true in pre-ANSI environments) and once those '&'s are
ignored, the attempted assignment didn't match the variable's type.
That code was actually more complicated that it needed to be; slightly
simpler code works as intended.
Enable blink and dim for the TERMLIB + !NO_TERMS configuration of the
tty interface. Blink now works the same as in the curses interface
for status highlights. The terminal emulator I'm using has an escape
sequence for dim but it evidently doesn't do anything (same no effect
as with curses), so that isn't adequately tested.
Take care of a minor 'TODO' and make another stab at getting truncated
encumbrance and/or level-description to reset to full size when enough
space becomes available.
Noticed while testing statuslines on a small terminal window. Using
the cursor to pick locations that panned the map to view a new subset
would end up showing a new view of the regular map rather than a
different section of what was currently displayed. For farlook that
caused monsters to take on new hallucinatory forms which was fairly
inconsequential, but for #terrain and various forms of detection it
reverted to the ordinary map instead of showing the map features that
the player requested or the temporarily revealed monsters and such.
Most interfaces keep track of the whole map and just show their view
of the new subset when panning, similar to redisplay after being
covered up and then re-exposed, but tty isn't doing that. I made
same change to Amiga as to tty since the code it was using was very
similar. I haven't touched any of the other interfaces and assume
that they don't need this. I've verified that curses and X11 don't.
Implement the 'statuslines' option for tty. 2 and 3 line status are
similar to curses. Tty's version doesn't include insertion of extra
spaces for enhanced readability, or ignoring 'showexp' when space is
needed for other fields, or right justifying 'score' and suppressing
it when there isn't room for the entire number. It continues to have
abbreviated condition and encumbrance descriptions that curses lacks
which get used when the normal ones take up too much space.
'statuslines' can be set with 'O' so it is feasible to switch back
and forth between 2 and 3 lines on the fly. But only if the display
is at least 25 lines (actually ROWNO+4) or else CLIPPING is enabled
at build time.
This fixes the bug where after resorting to abbreviated condition
values it sometimes (always?) wouldn't switch back after more room
became available. Abbreviated encumbrance values had problems too
(lack of leading space and not changing value if encumbrance changed
to anything other than unencumbered) and this fixes that as well.
Catch up with curses and have hitpointbar work even if statushilites
is 0 to suppress other highlighting. Indirectly fixes #H8389 by
making the circumstance which triggered that bug no longer do so.
The fuzzer likes to set options randomly; the combination of
DECgraphics symbol set (on a display capable of rendering it) plus
eight_bit_tty produces a bizarre map display. Make DECgraphics
override eight_bit_tty rather than the other way around.
Noticed while testing the history suppression: if you have DECgraphics
enabled and look at a graphics character on the map, the topline shows
x description of x
where 'x' is displayed as it appears on the map (line drawing char).
^P for msg_window:single knows about that and reproduces the effect if
you recall such a line. But msg_window:full/combination/reverse didn't
know about that and dumped it as-is into text output, ending up with a
strange 8-bit character for 'x' instead of the line drawing one.
I think other rendering schemes will be unaffected by this. It's just
duplicating what is done for msg_window:single.
Extend 'putstr(WIN_MESSAGE, attribute, string)'s attribute so that
'custompline(SUPPRESS_HISTORY, ...)' can work with ^P's message
history like DUMPLOG history, in order to keep autodescribe feedback
and intermediate prompts for multi-digit count ('Count: 12', 'Count:
123') prompts out of recall history. The old autodescribe behavior
could easily push all real messages out of the recall buffer when
moving the cursor around for getpos, and the count behavior looked
silly for a four or five digit gold count if you set the msg_window
option to 'full' or 'combination' and viewed them all at once.
Other interfaces may want to follow suit, but this doesn't force them
to make any changes. I added a hook for "urgent messages" that might
be rendered in bold or red or some such and/or override the use of
ESC at --More-- from suppressing further messages, but there aren't
any custompline(URGENT_MESSAGE, ...) calls (potentially "You die...",
for instance) to exercise it. Other people have implemented similar
feature it different ways and I'm not sure whether this one is really
the way to go since the core needs to categorize each message that it
deems to be urgent. MSG_TYPE:stop may be sufficent, although MSG_TYPE
matching can entail a lot of regexp execution overhead at run-time.
