Change of couple entries which describe fixed bugs to use past tense
instead of present tense. Fix a typo or two and a couple of instances
of clumsy wording. Move a dead-fake-hero-on-trap entry from normal
fixes section to exposed-by-git section since it was a post-3.6.1 bug.
Move two VMS entries from exposed-by-git section to interface-specific
section where they were intended.
I didn't make it through the whole file so there may be more room for
improvement. It's too late for 3.6.2 but the copy of doc/fixes36.2 in
later versions will be 'better'.
Being turned into green slime never drops hero's inventory so invent
objects shouldn't be subject to obj_not_held() handling.
obj_not_held() does apply to undead. Arising as a mummy or vampire
doesn't go through the trouble of dropping everything and picking it
back up, but there is a point in the die...arise sequence where the
hero is implicitly a corpse so nobody is holding his/her stuff.
When cloning a monster, clear the clone trapped and hiding states.
When splitting a monster (eg. a black pudding), the clone could
be placed on a trap, so do mintrap.
When removing a monster from the map, clear the trapped state.

The change to fix setting SEDUCE=0 in sysconf broke chatting with
seductive demons by unintentionally changing the way Null attack
argument was handled. It's still handled differently than it used
to be, but I think this difference is correct.
Fixes#187
Qt5 gave "status 'reassess' before init" panic at start of new game.
Don't call status_initialize(REASSESS) from set_usamon()--used for
hero setup as well as for hero polymorph--unless it was previously
called from display_gamewindows() with !REASSESS [which happens when
windowprocs.wincap2 has WC2_STATUS_HILITES or WC2_FLUSH_STATUS set].
If a poly'd hero spits venom and it lands at a 'soft' spot such as
water, it would remain as an intact venom object. (Venom spat by
monsters seems to always be used up regardless of where it lands.)
Vlad keeps his own form when carrying the Candelabrum, but if you
manage to get that away from him he should behave like other vampires.
He wasn't though; a high level wizard casting polymorph on him would
change him into an arbitrary monster rather than into a wolf/bat/cloud
that revives as Vlad when killed.

was overriding hallucination when describing both old and new forms.
In 3.6.0 it only overrode the dying shape (explicitly so, presumeably
because the feature was brand new) and honored hallucination for the
revived shape. The 3.6.1 fix to prevent non-hallucinating: 'The
seemingly dead Foo rises as Foo.' for a named vampire unintentionally
overrode hallucination for the revived shape.
Change it to honor hallucination for both before and after monsters
|The seemingly dead grid bug rises as a microscopic space fleet.
Noticed while looking over mimic hiding. When on an object, a mimic
will hide as that type of object. But for a corpse, it picked a random
monster type and could choose one that doesn't leave a corpse. Also as
a tin it would always be an empty one, but there doesn't seem to be any
way for a player to learn that.
Noticed while trying to find the reason for the wildmiss impossible(),
you could be teleported and then drop dead at the destination. A QM's
AD_TLPT hit also does 1d4 physical damage which gets applied after the
teleport. Getting "You die." seemed pretty strange, particularly after
picking the destination with telport control. This makes sure that the
damage will never be fatal when teleport is attempted.
Showing the price of a shop object when examining it with '/' or ';'
didn't include a price if it was actually a mimic. This makes fake
objects have prices when appropriate, but it is only a partial fix
because moving away from a mimic causes nethack to forget the fake
object's dknown flag for most types of objects.
That could be solved by adding an mobj field to mon->mextra, which
will break save compatibility, or by adding a whole extra set of
object glyphs for object-with-dknown-set. The latter could probably
be done without breaking backwards save compatibility (new program
using old files) but it seems like more effort that it'd be worth and
it would break forwards save compatibility (old program attempting to
use new files--something we've never claimed to support).
During shop repair, give a message about the shopkeeper using a spell
(if hero is close enough) before "Suddenly, <various repairs occur>."
And when shop repair is for a single untrap of landmine or bear trap
adjacent to shk (and the hero can see it happen), say "<Shk> untraps
<trap>" rather than just "Suddenly, a trap is removed from the floor!"
For the inventory of a probed monster, if the probing took place in
a shop the inventory display would have selling price appended to
all the items. That wouldn't really be a problem if it was just for
a pet who was carrying one shop item, but it applied to every item
being carried by any probed monster (including shopkeeper) with no
regard for whether the shop actually claimed ownership.
Change in meaning of mnearto()'s return value wasn't progagated to
shkcatch(). Make it an int instead of boolean so that it can
communicate both 'moved successfully' and 'moved but had to move
another monster out of the way to do so'.
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.
mon_arrive() -> m_into_limbo() -> migrate_to_level() -> wormgone()
followed by place_monster() "for relmon". relmon() was changed (last
November, cc5bb44a9a) to not require
the monster be on the map, so just get rid of the place_monster() that
was trying to put the "gone" long worm at <0,0>.
Also, another m_into_limbo() bit: make mdrop_special_objs() check the
location and send any dropped items to random locations if the monster
dropping things isn't on the map, instead of placing them at <0,0>.
I've noticed many instances of the game pausing and not being sure why,
then pressing <space> and having it resume. The curses interface had
a tendency to put its equivalent of the --More-- prompt, >>, somewhere
where that wasn't visible, either off the right hand edge (possibly) or
underneath the window borders if those were enabled. Especially the
very last one it issues prior to exit. (An extra one compared to tty
behavior.)
This ended up being a pretty substantial overhaul of message window
handling. I wouldn't be surprised if it has off-by-one errors which
happen to be paired up and cancel each other out. ">>" is still drawn
in orange if guicolor is on, now in inverse video when that is off.
If it happens to be drawn at the same screen location in consecutive
instances, the first ">" will toggle between blink and not blink so
that there'll be no doubt as to whether the keypress registered when
dismissing it (moot if the text preceding it is different but there's
no attempt to be smart enough to check that, just screen placement).
Make the same fix to curses that was done for tty in 3.6.1: don't
let MSGTYPE entries be matched against prompt strings. Like tty,
curses was using ordinary pline() to issue prompts; something like
MSGTYPE=hide"yn"
could wreak havoc. Switch to custompline(OVERRIDE_MSGTYPE,...).
Support for scrolling within menus via first-/previous-/next-/last-
page keystrokes ("^<>|" by default) was added to X11's general menu
handling but the extended commands menu uses a special menu rather
than a general one. This clones the relevant code to add support for
those keys to extended commands.
The expansion of the extended commands list to include every command
has made picking extended commands out of X11's menu become tedious.
This uses the existing 'extmenu' option (previously tty-only) to
control whether all the commands are present or just the traditional
subset not bound to non-meta keystrokes ('adjust', 'chat', 'loot', &c).
The curses interface was using 'moves' as if it meant "moves" rather
than "turns". Typing ESC at >> (curses' terser version of --More--)
prompt would suppress messages for the rest of the current turn rather
than just the rest of the current move. So if the hero got an extra
move due to being Fast, there would be no feedback during that move.
When the 'time' option is on and context.botl isn't already set,
call a simpler status update routine that ignores all other fields.
When that flag is already set, full status update takes care of time
along with the other fields.
Expected to reduce bottom lines processing time but not screen I/O.
Only lightly tested.
window.doc states that the colormasks argument to status_update() is
only relevant for BL_CONDITION, but curses was relying on it to be
passed for BL_FLUSH as well. Yesterday's changes stopped the latter
and broke highlighting of status conditions. Other interfaces appear
to honor the description in window.doc.
I finally figured out why status gets updated periodically even if
none of the fields have changed. Once a temporary highlight times
out, it starts a cycle of timeouts every 'statushilites' turns. When
I worked on this before, it was convoluted but not this convoluted.
In moveloop, if 'context.botl' call bot; in bot
call evaluate_and_notify_windowport;
for each field, call evaluate_and_notify_windowport_field:
call hilite_reset_needed and set 'reset' to the result;
if 'reset' is True then do status_update
and set 'curr->chg' and 'prev->chg' to True.
Then in moveloop call status_eval_next_unhilite:
for each field
if 'curr->chg' set 'curr->time' to moves+hilite_delta;
on the call after hilite_delta ('statushilites') moves,
call hilite_reset_needed which returns True if there is any
rule for temporary highlight and set 'context.botl'.
Go back to start. If multiple fields had temporary timeouts and
they were activated on different turns so expired on different turns
you could conceivably end up with context.botl being set every turn.
My first writeup trying to explain all this was wrong. I won't
testify about the accuracy of this one in court....
This extends the highlighting data structure to track the current
rule that's in use. And for that to make sense, it eliminates the
merging of settings from multiple matching rules. So anybody with
hit-points/up/inverse
hit-points/up/green
hit-points/up/bold
will need to manually merge their rules like
hit-points/up/green&inverse+bold
or else whichever rule matches last will be the only one in effect.
There are a lot of miscellaneous changes made as I flailed about.
The three most significant ones are that there is no guesswork over
what kind of highlight rule is in effect, status_eval_next_unhilite
will only set a timeout value if the current rule is for a temporary
highlight, and hilite_reset_needed will only return True if a timeout
is for a temporary highlight (probably moot after the _next_unhilite
change).
Have the curses interface save and restore message history for use
by ^P. It doesn't spit the saved messages out into the visible
message window after restore; that's too distracting.
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.
Fixes#179
The Valkyrie goal level has two drawbridges and one of them was set to
have 50:50 chance to be closed (raised). But 'random' for drawbridge
open/closed (or lowered/raised) state was always choosing open (lowered).
This fixes that and also changes that level to have the old settings
(southern open, northern 50:50) for 75% of the time and new settings
(both 50:50) for 25% of the time. So there's now a 12.5% chance that
both will be closed instead of both always being open (due to the bug
with handling random).
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.
Back in December, a change was made to suppress status when u.uhp == -1.
But if the hero died with exactly that amount, the status display would
be blanked out during end of game disclosure. Force u.uhp to be 0 when
dying. That was already happening if death occurred while hero still
had positive HP, but not when damage took him/her to negative.
Cleaver's ability to hit up to three adjacent targets could kill a
long worm and then try to cut it in two. When this was first reported
I was unable to reproduce it, but this time I've managed to do so.
But not reliably, so it's hard to claim that it's now fixed. However,
the new report's explanation of why it happens and suggested fix was a
big help. I had been trying to hit three tail segments, but you need
to attack a segment next to the head, then have Cleaver hit and kill
the head first (50:50 chance depending upon whether current swing is
clockwise or counter). Worm cutting would be looking at the location
of the targetted segment but there won't be any monster there when the
head dies. (Cleaver's attack itself already copes the situation where
its 2nd and/or 3rd potential targets aren't there any more by the time
it's ready to try to hit them.)
curses uses 'reversed' (LIFO) style when displaying previous messages.
Use the existing (previously tty-only) 'msg_window' option to also
support 'full' (FIFO). The actual code needed as just a couple of
lines; tweaking options parsing and the documentation was more work.
Using ^P right after resize or 'O' of align_message, align_status,
statuslines, or windowborders would result in
'curses_display_nhmenu: attempt to display empty menu'
because some memory cleanup I added several weeks back was being
executed when the curses interface tore down and recreated its
internal windows.
This fixes ^P handling by making sure that that menu (which is just
text but uses a menu to support '>'/'<'/'^'/'|' scrolling) will never
be empty and it also fixes the window deletion to not throw away
message history until it's final deletion at exit time.
^P uses a popup window to display previous messages and it was never
deleting that window, just creating a new one each time. Same with
the routine which displays an external help file. Using either or
combination of both close to 5000 times would probably make internal
window creation get stuck in an infinite loop. Delete those windows
after they're used so it'll never be put to the test.
The memory cleanup I added for map/status/messages/invent was only
being preformed at end of game, not when saving. Fix that too.
I've overhauled the status display for curses. Horizontal layout
supports both 2 lines and 3 lines which can be changed dynamically
via using 'O' to set 'statuslines'. Fields are spread out a little
more than they used to be, making it more readable--at least to me--
but the extra spaces get squeezed out when lines become too long.
If 'showexp' is on and either conditions or hunger+encumbrance go
off the right edge, experience points are suppressed (but the option
is left on, so they'll come back once there is room).
For traditional 2-line hozizontal status, if hunger+encumbrance+
conditions go off the right edge even after experience points are
knocked out, there will be a '+' in the rightmost column if there
are any conditions that are all the way off. At present it doesn't
use the tty method of switching to abbreviated condition names to
reduce their legnth. I'll probably tackle that eventually if no one
beats me to it.
For 3-line horizonal status, there was an older implementation (but
disabled via #if 0) with gold and score moving to the third line.
(I'm not sure how status conditions were handled.) This one ignored
that and modified 2-line from scratch, moving alignment from line one
to line 2 and level description, time, and conditions from line 2 to
line 3. It looks like this (view with a fixed-width font...).
Wizard the Hatamoto St:16 Dx:15 Co:18 In:8 Wi:11 Ch:7 S:25
Lawful $:21 HP:25(25) Pw:6(6) AC:4 Xp:2/21 Hungry Burdened
Dlvl:1 T:36 Blind Lev
Score is actually right aligned with the edge but I've deleted several
spaces to keep the line shorter here. The status conditions line up
with the hunger slot as that shifts due to changes in gold/HP/power/AC/
experience, and conditions prefer that column even when hunger and/or
encumbrance are blank. Howver, if the number of conditions increase to
the point where they would go off the edge, the whole list shifts left
instead of trying to stay lined up with hunger. (It's just coincidence
that the lefthand parts of lines 2 and 3 seem to line up in this sample.
In general, they don't.)
The vertical layout has reordered most of the fields and now has a few
blank lines to separate those fields into some groups for readability.
Lines have the form of
Field-name : Value
and when highlights apply, now they only affect the value portion.
Single digit characteristics are padded with a leading space so that
all six of them line up (for "18/xx", "/xx" protrudes to the right).
HP and Pw are aligned with each other. Hunger and encumbrance share a
line. When there are more than three conditions, they're shown three
per line instead of wrapping across lines. And if too many lines are
present, it will squeeze out enough blank ones to fit.
To see the vertical status, you need a display size of at least 106
columns with 'windowborders' explicitly off, or 110 with them on; also
set option 'align_status' to 'right' or 'left'. (With borders on,
including the default 'auto' setting, the vertical status appears at
width of 108 columns, but does so by hiding 2 columns of the map; using
110 columns avoids that.) Resizing from outside the game or changing
align_status via 'O' both cause dynamic reconfiguration of the layout;
there's no need to save, make config changes, then restore.
I've noticed (with curses interface) that there are a lot of
update_status(BL_FLUSH) calls when nothing on the status lines
has changed. It happens while just wondering around, not due to
deliberate botlx update. This eliminates one of the causes.
Updating hero's experience points or score (via u.urexp) was
requesting a bottom lines refresh even if the relevant options to
see those changed values was off. The botl code would send a flush
directive even though nothing visible was modified. (I have a fix
for that too, but am holding back while hoping to find some of the
other causes of unnecessary botl requests.)
It took me a while to track this down: if you use 'O' to create
hilite_status rule(s) for status condition(s) and you specify multiple
attributes in the rule creation menu, it accepts them but it was
parsing the new rule(s) incorrectly and only supported one attribute.
if (mask & bit)
something;
else if (mask & other_bit)
something_else;
else if (mask & yet_another_bit) ...
effectively stops at the first bit matched. (At the time that that
was written, the menu leading to it only accepted a single attribute.)
More groundwork for overhauling the status display for curses, plus
a few functional changes. It was doing a full status update for
every changed field (except conditions), instead of waiting for a
flush directive after gathering multiple changes at a time. Since
it already does gather every change, the fix to wait is trivial.
This decouples 'hitpointbar' from 'statushilites'. When highlighting
is off, it uses inverse video only. When on, it behaves as before:
using inverse video plus the most recent color used to highlight HP
(which can vary if that has rules to highlight changes or percentage
thresholds) but ignoring any HP attribute(s). This also enables the
latent 'statuslines' option and changes 'windowborders' option from
being settable at startup only to changeable during play.
'statuslines' can have a value of 2 (the default) or 3 and applies to
'align_status:bottom' or 'top'; it's ignored for 'left' and 'right'.
At the moment, setting it to 3 only allows status condition overflow
to wrap from the end of line to 2 to the beginning of line 3, and if
window borders are drawn they'll clobber the last character on line 2
and first one on line 3. There's no point in trying to fix that
because it will go away when the main status overhaul changes go in.
Condition wrapping for vertical orientation (left or right placement)
was already subject to the same phenomenon and will be superseded too.
This also changes the meaning of the 'windowborders' value so could
impact players using source from git (or possibly beta binaries for
Windows, but not for OSX where curses interface wasn't included).
Old:
0 = unspecified, 1 = On, 2 = Off, 3 = Auto (On if display is big
enough, Off otherwise; reevaluated after dynamic resizing);
Unspecified got changed to 3 during curses windowing initialization.
New:
0 = Off, 1 = On, 2 = Auto;
0 gets changed to 2 for default value at start of options processing.
So old value of 2 is changing meaning and explicit old value of 3 is
becoming invalid. Implicit 3 changes to default 2. Explicit 3 could
be the subject of a fixup but there isn't much point since 2 can't
have a similar fix. Users who are using old 2 or explicit 3 will need
to update their run-time config files.
This adds 'statuslines' to the Guidebook and moves some other recently
added documentation of curses options from among the general options
(section 9.4) to "Window Port Customization options" (section 9.5).
None of them have been added to dat/opthelp which seems to be missing
all the wincap options.
Originally I made a lot of changes (mostly moving C99 declarations to
start of their blocks) to the old '#if 0' code at end of cursstat.c,
but have tossed those, except for one subtle bug that assumed 'int'
and 'long' are the same size.
Change the generic status line location "End Game" to relevant element
name "Earth", "Air", &c. ("Plane of <element>" might be too long if
hungry and encumbered and afflicted by conditions. "Astral Plane" is
already specific so not affected.)
Honor hilite_status rules specifying color even if curses-specific
option 'guicolor' is off.
Update status from scratch when 'O' is used to manipulate hilite_status
rules.
The curses interface was ignoring video attributes (bold, inverse, &c)
when color is toggled off or if built with TEXTCOLOR disabled. Honor
attributes regardless of whether color is displayed.
Also, toggling 'hilite_pet' On during play wouldn't do anything if the
curses-specific 'petattr' option had been left as None. (It worked as
intended if set in starting options.)
Change the test for whether fonts.dir exists (added to the script
in 3.6.0, for automatically setting up possible use of the NH10 font
under X11) from 'test -e file' to 'test -f file' since the latter
seems to be more universally available. When present, fonts.dir is
plain text, so a test for "exists and is a regular file" rather than
one for general existance is appropriate.
If nethack is built to use graphical tombstone but file rip.xpm is
missing from the playground, there would be a crash if the rip output
was shown. My first attempt to fix it prevented the crash but didn't
display any tombstone, just the last couple of lines of output which
follow the tombstone. This keeps that in case of some other Xpm
failure, but checks for rip.xpm via stdio and reverts to genl_outrip
for text tombstone if it can't be opened.
Extend the earlier support for Delete/Rubout in getline() to the
text entry for extended commands. In other words, treat <delete>
and <backspace> as synonyms in both places.
Some reformatting too, but only in a couple of the files.
Kicking a stack splits off one item (except for gold coins) and
propels it, but the range for how far it would move was calculated
before the split using the entire stack's weight. So a large stack of
small items might fail with "thump" (which the report suggested hurt
the hero, but it doesn't) and none of the stack would move. Splitting
sooner looked complicated because of several potential early returns
between the range calculation and the eventual kick, so this hacks the
stack's quantity to get the intended weight instead.
showed non-empty containers in inventory (including the one being
applied) with a 'for sale' suffix during put-in operations, as if the
shop was trying to sell it to the hero. Amount shown was cumulative
value of its contents. (Using /menustyle:T doesn't show the container
being applied so this wasn't visible with it unless other non-empty
containers were being carried.)
Two or three fix attempts solved one problem but introduced another.
This one seems to finally get things right but considering that there
was trial and error along the way, my confidence isn't great.
If steed ate a mimic corpse and started mimicking an object or dungeon
furniture, the hero was able to keep riding. Force a dismount when
that happens, even if steed takes on monster shape rather than object
or furniture. After that, #ride to remount non-monster will fail
unless using wizard mode's "force mount to succeed" action, in which
case steed's eating finishes immediately and it returns to normal.
This doesn't address the older report that mounted hero can continue
to move around while the steed is eating.
