In item-selection menus, as you know one can press "=" to select all
rings, say. This doesn't work if the letters run out before you get to
the rings, however (because there are so many items).
Menu code did not check group accelerators on items without assigned letters
(if the letters run out). Fixed.
- fix destruction of primary game windows
- One, it makes the color of the cursor box dynamic (these are the gnmap.c
changes), based on hp/hpmax (continuous colors white -> yellow -> red ->
magenta rather than discrete like in Qt).
- Two, it adds a new window, NHW_WORN (all the other changes and new files
gnworn.[ch]), placed at the end of the first row, to the right of the status,
with tiles of all the items currently equiped. I had to change the spacing of
the first row (no longer homogeneous) to accomodate this, but I think it still
looks okay. It's mostly like the Qt version but the equiped items are in
slightly different places, and a bit more compactly (added quiver, ball/chain,
monster skin armor; see the definition in gnworn.c for the layout).
by <Someone>
(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.
W340-6 fix
fixed: mswin_menu_size incremented width of the actual menu window
each time being called. This only happens if "show window content
while dragging" option is set in Windows desktop settings.
The pet image was garbled because it was reduced to the size of the pet mark
bitmap
in the function that draws pet mark transparently over the pet tile (32x32
image was reduced to 16x16 and then stretched again)
Also added: use Windows-provided TransparentBlt where available.
- typing ESC would lose messages if msg_window was not displayed
- incorporate <Someone>'s fix, which causes them to be tracked, just not
displayed, and thus still available for ^P viewing later on
Add "travel" boolean option to enable/disable travel command.
Add "mouse_support" wincap option to enable/disable mouse.
- When running the win32 tty version full-screen, some people
complained about the square mouse cursor.

- the response field of the pop-up dialog was getting smaller by a few
pixels each time it was used. This was because the width calculation
was effectively stripping off the margins (4 pixels total) each time.
Don't do that.
- mostly from Yitzhak, with a modification based on subsequent discussion.
After installing everything (mail, cvs, etc) I found the compile was
broken.
Yitzhak: This fixes the compile. I used LONG for the types because using DWORD
conflicted in Borland with signed/unsigned compare mismatches.
[Also works around some perm_invent code destined for a later patch that got
rolled in prematurely]
Two things:
1. This patch causes the window placement of the main window to be
written to the registry, and to be restored upon the next start
of the program. I had to move the creation of the main window to init_nhwindows,
as the registry is not read until then.
2. Implement support for wc_popup_dialog (or rather, support for not having
popup windows.) It asks getlin questions and get_ext_cmd on the
message window, much like the TTY port does it.
The get_ext_cmd procedure is almost but not quite the same as the
one for TTY, and I think it is better: It autocompletes the extended
command you type, but if you keep on typing it doesn't add those letters
after the completed command, but just keeps track of how many (correct)
characters you typed. If you type a different character than the
autocompleted command has, it shows you what you typed again. If you
press backspace, it deletes the characters you typed, and if autocompletion
is no longer possible, it removes the autocompleted part. The effect
of this is that you can type as many letters as you want when typing
an extended command, as long as it is enough to identify one command;
and you only have to delete the characters you actually typed if you made
a mistake. I think autocompletion is a lot less obtrusive this way.
Some notes about the patch:
- Both mswin_getlin and mswin_get_ext_cmd now have two versions, with
and without a popup.
- yn_question was changed so that it displays a caret, which is a lot
nicer IMHO.
- I had to implement a new NetHack Windows Message parameter,
"MSNH_MSG_CARET", to make it possible to show and hide the caret in
the message window. Normally the caret is created and destroyed by the
window that owns it, but in NetHack the input focus is always on the
main window, while the caret is in the message window, which happens
to be the only one that knows how large the caret should be.
- mswin_putstr_ex's last parameter changed from boolean to int; the
semantics are enhanced so that a negative last parameter means "delete
that many characters from the input line". The string to be deleted is
passed in as well, although it is currently not used.
- A rather large chunk of code finds out where the last string that was
displayed on the message window ended. This is necessary to place the
caret at the right spot. The caret is always positioned there, even if
it is hidden or non-existing.
- mswin_get_nh_event was changed to actually process and empty the
message queue, and called from mswin_putstr_ex to make sure the
message window is updated before the next step is done. Without this,
the caret is positioned before the last message is painted, which
makes its x-position after the last character of the previous line.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
mailversion: 1.10
nhversion: 3.4.0
nhfrom: 3.4.0 Official binary release for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/Me/XP
(nh340win.zip)
hardware: 1 Ghz AMD Athlon, 512 MB RAM etc. etc.
I don't think that the hardware is related to the problem because I found it.
software: I used Win 98 (1st edition) and MS VC++ 6.0 to find/fix the bug in
Nethack 3.4.0.
comments: steps to crash: start nethackw.exe - start a game - select "fit to
sreen" in the map menue - rezize the map until it is very very small -> crash
- change the way the tile sizes are calculated, based on the image size,
so non-square tiles can once again be supported.
- fix Gnome port so it can actually display non-square tiles, several
height/width uses were backwards
- update Install.X11 to note the number of tiles per row in the XPM image
This patch implements two things:
- space now dismisses a menu, text or menutext window when you are
at the bottom of that window
- Page scrolling in menus now works as follows:
pressing PgDn (or Space in NH mode) moves the focus down one page,
and moves the scroll position down one page. The effect of this
is that you always get a full new page of items (which is what
NetHack players expect), and that the focus moved down one page
(what Windows users expect.)
The same (revers) goes for scrolling up a page.
A Windows user will still be a bit surprised when the focus is on
the top item, and he presses '>': he gets a new page of things instead
of the focus moving to the bottom of the page.
However, the PgUp/PgDn keys (which he probably uses) still have the
old Windows behaviour.
This band adds handling for the "5" key in the numeric keypad. This is
called VK_CLEAR in the VK_ constants. Using this band, and with
NumLock off, doing 5 will send NetHack the letter 'g'. Doing SHIFT-5 will
send 'G'. Without this band and with NumLock off, 5 does nothing. With
NumLock on, 5 sends 5.
This implements some items on the ToDo list:
- H0005: Space does the same as PgDn in text, menu and 'menutext'
windows if NetHack mode is on.
- M0004: The cursor (caret) is hidden in text windows and menu
windows.
PgUp/PgDn/Up/Dn don't move the cursor, but scroll the
window.
- let the "#" key work as per Guidebook
- role selection didn't work if you had gender specified in your .nethackrc
similar problems would occur for other .nethackrc selections
- fix an obvious memory leak
- fix one crash bug from accessing a freed pointer (M-? dismiss M-?)
- note some invalid behavior in comments for a real Gnome developer to fix
- reformatted some code so I could follow it
- support X11 tile files (with or without XPM) that are 40 tiles wide
- rearrange some X11 code to share more code between XPM & non-XPM options
- clean out some deprecated X11/winmap.c #ifdefs
- update Qt code minimally to handle such an XPM file
This patch allows ALT-? to do #? in NetHack mode by not doing
TranslateAccelerator in NetHack mode. This relies on the short circuit
logic of || (much of NetHack code relies on it, it's just an explanatory note).
This patch disables ALT-H in NetHack mode. Before patch: ALT-H in NetHack
mode brings down the Help menu in the menu bar. After patch: ALT-H does
nothing in NetHack mode. In both cases, in Windows mode, ALT-H brings
down the Help menu in the menu bar. I can easily write a patch to have
ALT-H in NetHack mode act the same as '?'.
Explanation:
return 0: this window proc has processed this event.
return DefWindowProc(): process using default window proc.
ALT-H is the only key for which DefWindowProc() does something special AND
reaches the else.
This is so it can be shared with Qt.
If, for some reason, we have to cut another source tarball for
3.4.0, then this will be included. Otherwise, this will
turn out to be a post-3.4.0 patch.
