From a bug report. The first report complained about levitation
allowing you to move through water on the Plane of Water, something that's
come up in the newsgroup lots of times (mostly about how levitation is
the best way to get around, only occasionally wondering why it works:
water walking doesn't work there because there's no surface, so where are
you levitating such that you're kept dry?) The second report complained
about being told you were floating up if you put on a ring of levitation
while stuck inside a wall (perhaps after being stranded when polymorph
into xorn form ended).
This implements intrinsic blocking for levitation and also for
flying. Being inside solid rock (or closed door) anywhere and being in
water on the Plane of Water are the things that do it for levitation;
those two and levitating are what do it for flying. Entering such
terrain turns off ability to float/fly, and leaving there turns it back
on; starting levitation blocks flight, ending it unblocks (levitation
has always overridden flying's ability to reach the floor). Being able
to phase through rock doesn't prevent levitation and flight from being
blocked while in rock; you aren't floating or flying in that situation.
Simplify many of the intrinsics macros from
#define xxx_resistance (Hxxx || Exxx || resists_xxx(&youmonst))
down to
#define xxx_resistance (Hxxx || Exxx)
by setting or clearing an extra bit in Hxxx during polymorph so that the
resists_xxx() check becomes implicit.
Unfornately there were lots of places in the code that treat Hxxx
as a timeout number--primarily for Stunned, Confused, and Hallucination;
Stunned happens to be one of the revised macros--rather than as a bit
mask, so this patch needed a lot more changes than originally antipated.
While looking at fixing the mfrozen issue for monsters (there's no
way to tell whether it's been caused by sleep or paralysis, necessitating
that some messages be vague or suppressed when actions impact monsters
who can't move), I noticed a drawbridge bug for the hero. It was using
the misleadingly named Sleeping intrinsic incorrectly. When that is
nonzero, the hero is prone to falling asleep at random intervals, not
necessarily asleep right now. I've always intended to rename it to
something that's not misleading, but hadn't ever gotten around to doing
so, until now: change the SLEEPING property to SLEEPY and the Sleeping
intrinsic/attribute to Sleepy.
This may be moot for the drawbridge. I can't remember any hero ever
jumping to safety instead of being crushed by either the bridge or its
portcullis, and I'm sure sleepiness hasn't been a factor. So I haven't
included any fixes entry about misusing Sleeping when it meant u.usleep
(or better yet, unconscious(); or even better, Unaware [a post-3.4.3
pseudo-property that tests both unconscious() and fainted() when checking
whether hero is incapacitated]).
Monster werecritters are vulnerable to silver when in human form as
well as when in beast form, but hero inflicted with lycanthropy was only
vulnerable while in beast form. Add pseudo-property Hate_silver to handle
that correctly. Also, add silver vulnerability to enlightenment feedback.
Lastly, hero vulnerable to silver had Con abused if hit by silver missile
but not when hit hand-to-hand; add an exercise() call to the latter.
Turn being unconscious (via several reasons, including fainted from
hunger) into a pseudo-property named `Unaware' and use it in several
places where only being asleep was checked. #H202 was about a stunned
character who got the recovery message when it timed out while fainted.
This suppresses messages for several difficulties when they begin or end
while hero is Unaware. Messages about fatal illness, sliming, or
petrification aren't suppressed; they're too important to hide from the
player. "You feel ..." messages come out as "You dream that you feel ..."
when Unaware; fairly lame but hopefully adequate.
It is not physical damage if:
1. it already qualifies for some other special type of damage
for which a special resistance already exists in the game
including: cold, fire, shock, and acid. Note that fire is
extended to include all forms of burning, even boiling water
since that is already dealt with by fire resistance, and in
most or all cases is caused by fire.
2. it doesn't leave a mark. Marks include destruction of, or
damage to, an internal organ (including the brain),
lacerations, bruises, crushed body parts, bleeding.
Current exceptions to the rule (already existing):
- holy water burning chaotic ("it burns like acid") is physical damage.
- unholy water burning lawful is physical damage.
+ Separate the two uses of flags.soundok.
+ Player-settable option is now called "acoustics".
+ Deafness is now handled as a full-fledged attribute.
+ Check for deafness in You_hear(), rather than caller.
+ Check for deafness in caller, rather than verbalize(),
because gods can speak to characters in spite of deafness.
+ Since changes are being made to prop.h, reorder it to the
same order as youprop.h and enlightenment.
There are still some extraneous checks and missing checks
for deafness, which will be followed up in a future patch.
Because of the size of this patch and its savefile incompatibilities,
it is only being applied to the trunk code. Portions of this patch
were written by Michael Allison.
