As suggested in a message from <Someone>, add a rumor and an oracle
regarding priestly donations. Keni's suggested wording was incorporated.
A spelling error in another oracle is also fixed.
rewrote the message so it doesn't talk about his body dissolving into gas,
since there's a possibility that he'll leave a corpse. It now doesn't
mention a body at all, so it's not so bad when he doesn't leave a corpse
either. The contents are completely changed, and I think it's more in line
with the sort of thing you'd expect from Master Kaen.
correct the region where the down stairs can be placed so they don't show up
in a cut off cave. If/when the level generator is improved to avoid generating
such caves, the down stairs region could potentially be changed back.
Reported to the list a while back by <Someone>. The Knight's quest
messages are inconsistent in the use of royal pronouns. Capitalize them all.
Another option would have been to remove all royal capitalization (since such
Capitalization didn't come into use until relatively recently).
Proposed by Michael Allison.
Seconded by Pat Rankin.

mention msg_window in the Guidebook and long online help. I didn't update
hh since that only has one-liners. Also made the msg_window default clear
in the Guidebook and opthelp. Plus, an update to Guidebook.txt in hopes
that it won't need another before release.
Add the caveman, healer, and monk data.base entries supplied by
<Someone>, plus the healer one from <Someone>'s list of outstanding bugs and
requests. Every role now has its own entry. I left "dwarven caveman"
and "gnomish caveman" pointing at the generic dwarf and gnome entries
respectively, because the caveman quote feels to me to be more human-
specific than the earlier role ones have been.
I added blank lines to the monk quote to break it into paragraphs,
and made two minor tweaks to the text. I hope we can find or invent a
separate entry for Master Kaen though. Getting a quote that refers to
Buddhism for him seems wrong to me, but leaving the generic human one
now that there's a monk-specific one didn't feel right either.
I've moved a few quest guardians around this time. Deciding which
of them should yield the corresponding role entries and which shouldn't
involves judgement calls and I don't claim that the current situation
is now perfect.
Add the wizard entry submitted by <Someone>. It doesn't fit
perfectly but seems better than getting the generic human (or other
race) entry. It pointed out that "gnomish wizard" is ambiguous between
a type of monster and a player character race/role combination. I had
to add a special case to the code to make that work out right.
This also makes all the roles that have the their entry match any
race; conversely, match the race's monster for roles that don't have an
entry (caveman, healer, monk, priest, and samurai; we really should get
them their own). Previously many of the non-human ones yielded "I don't
have any information on such things" and at least one (elven priest)
yielded the generic human entry.
As From a bug report.
- tengu is plural, some true rumors spelled it "tengus"
- Caveman quest messages shouldn't contain the word "human" since not all
cavemen are human, changed such messages in various ways
- fix a typo in a Wizard quest message
Override confusion and hallucination when revealing the map with
<ctrl/F> in wizard mode. This also renames the `#poly' extended command
to `#polyself' and adds several one-line comments.
Given no objections to Pat's suggestion, putting back in the change to make
the newest debug commands consistent with the others, removing the space
from the former and the underscore from the latter.
Your quest leader would tell you to return later, even after you
were converted, which would be futile, and could mislead new
players.
This patch:
1. Causes the quest leader to banish you the first time you
encounter him/her following a conversion, since you cannot ever
complete the quest anyway in the current game.
2. Adds a new general QT_BANISHED message to be delivered, in
which you are told that you won't be able to get the Amulet without
the Bell now.
This helps resolve the complaint about not knowing that your game
cannot be won.
Add a missing check to makedefs so it prints a warning about misplaced %Es.
Fix a couple places in quest.txt pointed out by the new warning.
There's no visible effect on play, since the code that actually reads the
message keeps reading until the next %C.
(from <Someone>):
I guess that this:
mcam += iflags.wc_scroll_amount;
should be his:
mcam += iflags.wc_scroll_amount - 1;
In words: If scroll amount is 1, the behaviour should be as it was
before the option existed, which means: no addition to mcam.
<Someone> of the PC window group noticed that lootabc & showrace were documented
twice and travel was documented in the wrong section. Also, a couple
default syntax bits.
Provide user control over screen updating for multi-step movement
(run via shift, control, &c and also travel). [See cvs history for
fixes34.1 for more details.]
<Someone> wondered why there were no DOOR:nodoor specs for several doors in the
Samurai quest. I wasn't positive, but it seemed like these should have
been DOOR:closed, which is what I've added.
Add FOUNTAIN directives to the maps that just had '{' symbols.
Without them, the special level loader sets up those maps in a way
that prevents nethack from keeping the fountain counter accurately,
resulting in lack of fountain noises when they haven't been touched
yet and persistent noises after at least one of them has been dried
up. (It would be better to fix lev_comp's map handling code to do
this automatically.)
minetn-6 includes a MAP along with the flags that cause it to be cavernous.
However, the caverns get generated before the MAP is adde the level. Other
similar MAPs have open space on their edges, but there were walls on the
lower right edge of minetn-6. Added another column of mostly open space.
This level can still get cut-off areas, but the stairs won't be located there.

(the following text accompanies the patch at <Someone>'s web page)
add more configurability to the new msg_window option of [..]3.4.0.
It allows the configuration option to take an optional parameter to
specify the style of message history display to use.
allows the following configuration options:
msg_window:s - single message (as was the default in 3.3.0)
msg_window:c - combination; two messages in 'single', then as 'full'
msg_window:f - full window; oldest message first
msg_window:r - full window reversed; newest message first
In the event of no parameter being provided,
the patch is compatible with the current 3.4.0 behaviour:
msg_window = 'full'
!msg_window = 'single'
msg_window can be configured for these options in the
Options menu (Shift-O)
msg_window stores the current window type in the non-persistent
iflags structure, which means that savefile/bones files should be
100% compatible with Vanilla, but at the disadvantage that your
customisations to msg_window will be replaced with your
defaults.nh (or ~/.nethackrc) value every time you restart a saved game.
Credits:
The patch draws inspiration (and code snippets) extensively
from <Someone>'s original msg_window patch, [...] as well as <Someone>'s code for reverse ordering implemented until recently in
Slash'em.
Alter the starting position of the monk and priest quest
nemeses to neutralize the possibility of attacking them by
zapping directly to the left as soon as you arrive on the final
level. And give the samurai a little variety too by varying
the arrival location, although that is just cosmetic.
Replace "feature_toggle" implementation with an easier-to-understand
boolean option called "lootabc".
Provide "showrace", an option to display the hero by race glyph rather
than by role glyph.
Document the above.
Remove some obsolete Mac options.
