Restore the ability to select extended commands by keystroke.
The key translation stuff had gotten attached to the wrong widget.
When using keys to highlight an entry in the extended command menu,
don't reset the key-by-key handling so quickly. (On second and
subsequent keystrokes, if you waited more than 0.5 second, the new
key started picking an extended command from scratch rather than
continuing the current one, making it pretty hard to disambiguate
commands which have the same initial letter. Now the delay
threshold is 2.5 seconds. In theory that should become a user-
preference resource but I don't think it's worth the effort.)
Display the help choice in response to '?'.
Clean up the formatting of the top two buttons (dismiss + help).
Start with a scroll bar if the menu is too big to fit on the screen.
Prior to this, on OSX, the full menu would be constructed but any
of it that was 'displayed' beneath the bottom of the screen was
inaccessible because it couldn't be dragged higher and couldn't be
resized to get a scroll bar (since the way to resize on OSX is by
dragging the bottom right corner--which was off the screen).
The problems I mentioned recently are still present: when scroll
bar is present, I can click beneath it and it moves down, but
neither dragging it up nor clicking above it will move it back up.
Fortunately the recently implemented up and down arrows both work,
even after clicking/dragging starts failing.
There was a lot of trial and error involved here. Most of it
eventually got phased out, but the mystery of 'defaultDistance'
(which is reported to be 0 but is actually 4) remains. The screen
height stuff at the end ought to be fixed up if someone can figure
out how to get the width of a horizontal scroll bar or the height
of a title bar. (I'm sure I used to know how to do the latter,
but that was 25 or so years ago, and in Fortran with Xlib rather
than Xt or Xaw....)
Several people have asked if 3.6.0 supports playing with tiles on
a public server. Because there's no way for the user's end to know
what that white @ is, this adds special console escape codes for
tile hinting.
The idea was originally a patch called TelnetTiles by Justin Hiltscher,
but this expanded version comes via NAO, where it's been in use for years.
This is basically an interim hack, which should go away when/if
we support actual client-server model.
This was a request from a blind player. It's hard to find
the left edge of the menu when it's drawn on the map, so
clear the screen and align menus to the left edge of the screen
when this option is turned off.
Originally this was called the window edge patch.
'... inconsistency in character creation menus'.
During role selection, the final 'is this ok?' menu has 'yes'
preselected so accepted <return> or <enter> to answer yes. The
pick-role, pick-race, &c menus prior to getting to that stage didn't
have a default, so using <enter> meant nothing was chosen, and choosing
nothing was treated as a request to quit. This changes that so it's a
request for 'random' instead.
'Provisional fix' because it ought to do this by making 'random' be a
pre-selected menu entry so that the default choice is visible. But
that takes more effort than I'm inclined to expend on this.
If player specified all four facets of role: role, race, gender, and
alignment, via command line or option settings, the tty interface still
asked the player to confirm whether the character's role/&c was ok?
Skip that confirmation when all four things have already been chosen.
Like the just fixed naming for discoveries list, there are several
other add_menu() calls which specify <space> instead of 0 as a useless
selector on separator lines. These others are all for role selection,
where menus don't get big enough to need next-page.
I don't know what I was thinking at the time, although it must have
seemed like a good idea for some reason....
Changes to be committed:
modified: win/win32/winhack.c
sys_early_init was never called for win32 GUI. That was causing "rnd(0) -
program in disorder" in tt_oname.
Update the unix Makefiles and the older OSX hints files to handle the
pile marker tile overlay. I didn't touch hints/macosx10.10 and .11
since I think there's still a merge for them pending.
A couple of formatting tweaks for bemain.c are included, for no
compelling reason. What are the odds that anyone will every build
that again?
Keep window bookkeeping up to date when tty interface is shuting down.
The other interfaces should do something similar when they make windows
known to the core become unavailable.
Use casts to try to suppress a couple of assignments of long to short
that Michael's compiler warns about. 'cw->maxrow' might have a value
that's too big for 'short' (when dealing with really big menus), but
'cw->maxcol' never will (unless someone comes up with a terminal or
emulator that's wider that 32K-1 characters...).
Changes to be committed:
modified: src/objects.c
modified: win/share/tilemap.c
Warnings during tile builds (and incorrect tile mappings
at run time when MAIL wasn't defined):
Creating 16x16 binary tile files (this may take some time)
warning: for tile 325 (numbered 325) of objects.txt,
found 'ETAOIN SHRDLU' while expecting 'stamped / mail'
warning: for tile 326 (numbered 326) of objects.txt,
found 'LOREM IPSUM' while expecting 'ETAOIN SHRDLU'
The recent addition of the first new extra scroll descriptions in a
very long time caused this problem to show up when MAIL was undefined.
There was a magic number in use that made an assumption that there
were only 4 such extra scroll descriptions, those being
"FOOBIE BLETCH", "TEMOV","GARVEN DEH","READ ME"
Release some dynamically allocated memory prior to exit. These were
previously left alone due to assumed complexity (at least by me...),
but dealing with them turned out to be straightforward.
|#if FREE_ALL_MEMORY
free BASE_WINDOW -- tty-specific; other windows are drawn on top of it
free ttyDisplay -- tty's basic data structure
|#endif
free nh_HI, nh_HE -- termcap values handled differently from the rest
These are the last things that 'heaputil' always reported as not freed
for the basic Unix+tty configuration. (I've observed other things not
being freed; those are post-3.4.3 bugs that need to be found and fixed.)
Plus a modest amount (really!) of reformatting.
Also got rid of 'copy_of()' since dupstr() does the same thing [except
for the 'treat Null as ""' part; when needed, that can be done in the
call: dupstr(!str ? "" : str)].
One of the steps in the pre-release checklist: make sure the version
number in the X11 icons is up to date. nh32icon and nh56icon both have
the version number (major and minor values only, not patchlevel).
Update it from 3.4 to 3.6 for both. (nh72icon doesn't have any version
info in its design, so doesn't need any update.)
The X11 'bitmap' program strips out the header comments, so I modified
the image, saved it, used 'git diff --patch' to capture the changes,
'git checkout' to revert to the existing file, and edited in the diff
bands pertaining to the changed data. No doubt this could have been
done in some easier fashion, but it was victory just to find the bitmap
utility and achieve results using a one-button mouse--worse, a clumsy
touchpad substituting for one--when it's designed for a three-button one.
via UnNetHack, with some slight changes:
1) Folded the two Portal references into one
2) Removed "ACHAT SHTAYIM SHALOSH" ("One Two Three" in Hebrew and apparently
Uri Geller's catchphrase) - I know nothing about Hebrew nor Geller, or
whether this would be appropriate to add.
3) Added "XOR OTA" ("Atorox", reference to Finnish fandom and early scifi)
