Attempting to untrap an adjacent location failed if you had escaped a

If hero was carrying Schroedinger's Box at end of game, disclosing
inventory converted it into an ordinary box. That interferred with
subsequent disclosure when writing DUMPLOG, which saw an empty box
if inventory had been shown or the special box with newly-determined
contents if not. I tried a couple of ways to fix it and decided
that redoing it was better in the long run.
Schroedinger's box is still flagged with box->spe = 1, but instead
of having that affect the box's weight, now there is always a cat
corpse in the box. When opened, that will already be in place for
a dead cat or be discarded for a live one, but the weight will be
standard for container+contents and when box->cknown is set it will
always be "containing 1 item" (which might turn out to be a monster).
Some temporary code fixes up old save/bones files to stay compatible.
TODO: food detection used to skip Schroedinger's Box; now it will
always find a corpse, so some fixup like the ridiculous probing code
is needed.
Migrating monster attempting to arrive on a level which is already
full of monsters gets killed off. It was leaving a corpse without
regard for whether it was a type of of monster which should never
leave corpses.
I'd prefer that it be put back on the migrating_mons list rather
than be killed off, but this just suppresses impossible corpses.
When paying for shop door or wall damage, if the entire amount was
covered by shop credit then impossible "zero payment in money2mon"

New-ish files 'engrave', 'epitaph', and 'bogusmon' added for 3.6.0

Vampires tend to take vampire bat form and stay that way, unless/until
there's a closed door they want to pass in which case they change to
fog cloud form. Those shifted forms are weak, so pet vampires tend
not to attack other monsters, and if they don't take damage, they
won't change to vampire form. So, when comparing relative strength of
self and foe while deciding whether to attack another monster, treat
their own strength in weak form as if in vampire form, making them be
more aggressive.
Hostile vampires shouldn't need any comparable change. They don't use
relative strengths when deciding whether to attack something.

The nurse monster definition is flagged to be able to convery poison

and over the hero. 3.6.0's clairvoyance tried to show things in
a non-standard sequence, which was intentional but had unintended
side-effects like the disappearing monsters complained about in the
report. To make it work as intended would have required --More--
whenever it kicked in, which is much too intrusive when it happens
every N turns rather than when explicitly casting the spell.
Redo it substantially, and give preference to monsters over objects,
objects over traps, and traps over underlying terrain like normal
vision-based display does. It now detects all monsters within its
bounding box but shows ones which aren't directly in view as

basic when also having intrinsic clairvoyance.
When #wizinstrinsic was expanded to be able to set any timed attribute,
some that need more than just a timeout counter were left inconsistent.
1) Timed Flying wasn't blocked by levitation, and existing flight
wasn't becoming blocked by timed levitation. Also, eventual flight
timeout wasn't updating the status line, so false 'Fly' condition
remained shown until a status update happened for some other reason.
2) Setting timer for Warn_of_mon didn't set up any type of monster to
warn about so wouldn't do anything. This sets that to grid bug
unless already set due to polymorph form or artifact that warns.
The end.c portion is just a bit of formatting.

githib issue #156 complains that "The Excalibur falls down the stairs,"
is using poor grammar despite the fact that the usual drop message is
"You drop the +0 Excalibur." I agree. Change it to be "Excalibur
falls down the stairs." (Drop message remains unchanged.)
While looking at that, I noticed that when knocking other items down
stairs, text was being appended to the formatted object name. It was
probably safe due to the space reserved for inserting a prefix while
formatting an object's name, which becomes available for a suffix
after that name has been copied into otransit_msg()'s local buffer,
but using a separate buffer is safer.

Enlightenment feedback for "nudist" was added 3.5 years ago. Ever

Since Valkyrie starts in that situation, it's very surprising that no

Followup to 'fix #148' patch: looting a container with menustyle:Full
wasn't offering a chance to remove everything in one go. That was due
to an error I introuduced 2.5 years ago with commit
529dad8ef1 when I changed how the flags
passed to query_category() were being set up. It accidentally switched
'A' from take-out to put-in but the only code to handle 'A' at that
time would take everything out (from container to inventory).
Prior to that, removing everything worked as intended and putting in
everything wasn't supported. Now 'A - autoselect all' is a viable
choice for both in and out.
Fixes#154
With menustyle:Full, picking 'A - autoselect all' when putting items
into a container ran code for taking things out and there wasn't any
corresponding code for putting things in.
Add some put-in-everything code. Taking things out doesn't offer
'A - autoselect all' as a choice so the code mentioned above may now
be dead. Taking everything out seems like something that's much more
likely to be desired than putting everything in.
Hopefully this will be the last one. Change from a text window to

scrollbars) via '^' and '<' keys. End of game disclosure for

Also, move the recently added weapon proficiency line from the new

My "fix github issue #38 - indentation vs 'if {}'" patch, commit
d2ae45984e, broke finding unseen

invisible monsters too.
Life-saving was setting u.uswldtim to 0, presumably intending that
to stop the hero from being digested, but it actually resulted in
being totally digested on the swallower's next turn if the death
being short-circuited wasn't digestion. Change life-saving to make
swallower or grabber release the hero instead of tinkering with
u.uswldtim. In addition to rescuing the hero from digestion, it
prevents an eel which has just drowned the hero (who has survived
drowning via life-saving) from pulling him/her back into the water
on its next turn. It will need to make another successful grab to
do that now.
While testing, I noticed that if I was polymorphed and wearing an
amulet of unchanging, life-saving didn't restore my HP-as-a-monster
and due to the recent change to force that to 0 when the hero dies,
I died again immediately after my life was saved. So this bug was
latent in the past and became noticeable in the last couple of days.
Report was for being fried by angry deity. There are lots of deaths
that don't involve subtracting HP until it hits 0 or less; I haven't
bothered tracking down which ones don't set u.uhp to 0 before they
call done().
No effect on life-saving or declining to die except for HP:0 being
visible on the status line during their messages.

you can already get similar information via #overview so it isn't
giving away extra info.
Move some 'roff macros from Guidebook.mn to new file tmac.nh.
Header for tmac.nh is not being updated, even after explicitly adding
it to .gitattributes. I'm not sure what I've done wrong. (I'm using
'git nhadd doc/' here rather than explicit 'git nhadd doc/tmac.nh'.)
In Guidebook.mn, change the ``setenv NETHACKOPTIONS'' example so that
it fits within one line in Guidebook.txt. (I looked at 3.4.3's
edition of that file and the example went not just beyond the margin
of the formatted text but beyond 80 columns, so wrapped in an ugly
fashion.) I had previously changed 'autoquiver' to 'color' to shorten
it, now have changed '!autopickup' to '!leg' to show an example of
truncated option name as well as shorten, and also 'fruit:papaya' to
'fruit:lime' to squeeze out the last two columns needed to fit within
the text margin while retaining 'name:Blue Meanie' as requested.
Guidebook.txt shows both NETHACKOPTIONS examples with indentation
suppressed, Guidebook.ps uses normal indentation (evidently using a
narrower font, even with \f(CR (constant-width Roman) to approximate
TeX's \tt, since the indented example fits fine and looks better).
Some Guidebook.tex catchup. I suspect that lots of bits and bobs
don't match between Guidebook.mn and Guidebook.tex these days.
Particularly quoting and variant font (italics, bold, \tt) usage.
Also the recently added box around the sample screenshot. This
modifies the screenshot to match Guidebook.mn's, reflecting change
in status field spacing by STATUS_HILITES.

This is usually fixed on a case by case basis. Any attempt to add
blanket encumbrance check mid-turn (when updating status, for instance)
is sure to introduce message sequencing problems. Perhaps such a check
could be added at the end of the hero's move....
This fix handles the cases where prayer causes a change to strength:
major: fix starvation, minor: fix weak from hunger, boon: golden glow
(restore strength and satisfy hunger--probably no-ops in this regard
or would have had trouble fixed rather than receive a boon). Directly
curing stat loss (minor: poisoned) already dealt with encumbrance.

Not at all related. That movement bug affected 3.6.0 but was fixed in
3.6.1.
When trapped in a web, trying to move while wielding Sting gives the
message "Sting cuts through the web." In 3.6.1 and earler, that
also released you from the trap, but with 3.6.2-beta nothing happens.
It had nothing to do with the recent web spinning patch. My change
to have being trapped block levitating and flying included replacing
a lot of direct manipulations of u.utrap with set_utrap() and
reset_utrap() in order to keep the lev/fly blocking and unblocking
localized. Unfortunately, the old 'u.utrap = 0' when wielding Sting
while stuck in web was deleted in error at that time.
While looking at something else, I noticed that newsym() was checking
for pool and lava by examining the terrain type directly rather than
using the pool and lava checks, so it would never show a gas cloud at
a closed drawbridge (the spot in front of the portcullis). Level's
terrain at a closed drawbridge spot is DRAWBRIDGE_UP; need to look at
drawbridgemask field to figure out whether the accessible terrain at
that spot is moat or lava.
Change the extended command section from a mixture of
|#cmd This is a short-named command.
|#command

to every command having its descriptive text start on the next line
|#cmd

|#command
| This is a long-named command.
which results in a longer document but the extended commands section
is much easier to read.
No change to Guidebook.txt, where the previous command name padding
was wide enough to accomplish the same for fixed-width tty font.
There is an update to that though; a previous change omitted it.
Change instances of 'C' and ``C'' to `C'.
Change a few double quotes, "..." to ``...''.
Remove some trailing spaces (for Guidebook.mn too).
One tweak in wording: for #offer, ``use `m' to skip items on altar''
followed by ``you'll need to find an altar'' sounded strange. Move the
``skip items on altar'' sentence after the ``need an altar'' sentence.
Replace `C' and 'C' with \(oqC\(cq (open and close single quote).
For plain text output, the new form generates the first form. Most
single quotes were using that, but there was quite a bit of C-style
char quoting that was somewhat inconsisent.
There are several text changes too, mostly small. The few I can
remember are
replacing several ``#twoweapon'' with `X';
pets: change 'cat' to 'kitten' and mention that horses are
vegetartian where it claims that pets usually feed themselves;
NETHACKOPTIONS: add `bash' to the shells mentioned,
describe `NETHACKOPTIONS=@filename' better,
shorten the example (it's still too long for Guidebook.txt);
Configuring Status Hilites: expand the `behavior' descriptions
to mention the value limits for percentage and absolute, and
include post-3.6.1 '<=' and '>=' for them,
add omitted fields `hunger' and `title' to text match.
I also changed a bunch of examples in the option configuation section
from bold font to constant-width Roman which more closely resembles
the \tt font in TeX. Probably a whole bunch of other bold items
ought to follow suit.
Issues:
title for section 9.3 (NETHACKOPTIONS) is too close to the sample
config file at the end of section 9.2;
as mentioned above, the sample ``setenv NETHACKOPTIONS foo'' is
much too long for Guidebook.txt, and ``NETHACKOPTIONS=foo'' is
slightly too long; they're ok in Guidebook.ps (assuming default
page size);
does `WIZKIT=~/wizkit.txt' actually work? That's the example shown.
I started out updating Guidebook.mn to use \(oq and \(cq for single
quotes but ended up including some new text. I've separated that
part out (there are a few instances of altered quoting in the midst
of it--the separation wasn't 100%) to commit separately.
Add verbiage to "choosing race" and several commands: f, s, S, t,
w, and ^X.
Change `E-' and `w-' to use minus sign instead of hyphen. The TeX
edition uses \tt font for those which has the same effect of making
those dashes be more prominent.
Fix typo/thinko in `IX': Guidebook.mn and Guidebook.txt said that
displayed inventory items whose bless/curse state is "known".
Guidebook.tex had it right, "unknown".
The core wants to reuse the permanent inventory window for choosing
an object from inventory, but the perm_invent window could be
hard to focus - it could even be on another display!
Instead, create a temporary new window from which the user can
pick an inventory item.
Dead hero's map coordinates are set to <0,0> part way through bones
creation, then were being used to record grave location for overview
feedback with "final resting place for <dead hero>" if/when another
character got those bones and found the grave (actually, spotted the
location where first hero died regardless of whether a grave gets
placed there). Record dead hero's pre-<0,0> coordinates as intended.
Not previously noticed because in wizard mode the final resting place
becomes part of overview info as soon as bones are loaded rather than
waiting for the death location to be reached.
Putting a box around the simulated screenshot has a side-effect of
forcing it to the next page if there isn't room on the current page.
And it looks at least as good as the old top and bottom horizontal
lines, if not better. This also eliminates the blank left-most
column (relative to those lines) which isn't part of the screenshot.
There are issues:
1) for Guidebook.ps, the "Figure 1" label underneath seems to be
too close to the box; I didn't try to force a blank line in front
of it because that increases the risk of pushing it to the next
page if the figure lands at the bottom;
2) for Guidebook.txt, the "Figure 1" label actually overwrites the
bottom line of the box, and the embedded space allows the line
to show through: "---Figure-1---"; I tried using "\ Figure\ 1\ "
to see if that might hide the issue by making it seem that the
label in intended to be on that line, but it didn't help--
unbreakable-space evidently does not imply always-visible-space;
3) the box is one column wider than the rest of the document (the
previous horizontal lines were two or three columns wider, so
this is actually a tiny imrovement); squeezing out some whitespace
to make the status lines narrower didn't help--or at least not
enough; squeezing some spaces was needed to match STATUS_HILITES-
era status formatting anyway.
4] if there was a footnote (we have some for trademarks) on the same
page as the screenshot, either the footnote or the table would
probably become confused, perhaps both. I think we just pretend
that that will never come up....
5} I've made no attempt to alter Guidebook.tex to try to match.
I'm throwing in the towel. Fixing this up is way beyond my limited
'roff/tbl capability. (There's probably a much more straightforward
way to achieve what we want.)
I may not get around to doing anything with 'C' vs `C' vs \(oqC\(cq
for a while. Bring Guidebook.txt up to date now rather than waiting
so that the repository's copy reflects the #H7444 fix.
This has ended up with substantial spurious differences due to it
placing padding in different spots during line justification. I
hope that's due to different groff version using a slightly different
algorithm rather than something like phase of the moon. :-]
There also differences caused by "..." taking less space than ``...''.
