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was already subject to the same phenomenon and will be superseded too.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.
Miscellaenous stuff either groundwork for or noticed while updating
curses status. The status changes themselves need some more testing.
One or two of the comments refer to that revised status which hasn't
been checked in yet.
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.)
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.
The curses interface already has a hack to keep 'Count: 12', 'Count:
123' intermediate multi-digit counts out of its message recall history
for ^P, but it was flushing real messages when getpos()'s 'autodescribe'
reported what the cursor moved over. Overload the count hack to support
putstr(WIN_MESSAGE, ATR_NOHISTORY, text)
(which is what custompline(SUPPRESS_HISTORY, ...) eventually calls).
The conditional logic for when to create the 'count_window' was pretty
convoluted. This simplification has the same semantics but I don't
have PDCURSES to actually verify that.
Move the curses global variable defininitions to cursmain.c.
Make the references to those global variables extern in
include/wincurs.h
Get rid of a warning:
../win/curses/cursmesg.c:379:9: warning: declaration shadows a
variable in the global scope [-Wshadow] int orig_cursor = curs_set(0);
Kludge for Visual Studio compiler: Add a stub- file for use
in Windows curses port builds to ensure that a needed #pragma
is invoked prior to compiling the file pdcscrn.c in the
PDCurses source distribution. All command line options and
compile of the file. It is unreasonable to expect a NetHack
builder to have to tinker with the PDCurses source files in
order to build NetHack. This kludge means the NetHack builder
doesn't have to.
The file stub-pdcscrn.c contains only two lines:
#pragma warning(disable : 4996)
#include "pdcscrn.c"
Some day, if the PDCurses sources corrects the issue, this
can go away.
