Add the contributed code that checks for attempting to start a
duplicate timer. It's based on a comment which must have been there
at least 25 years and doesn't solve any known problems, but it is
conceptually similar to the large amount of sanity checking which has
gone into 3.6.x.
It didn't work as is because it was comparing two unions with '=='.
I don't know offhand whether C++ supports that but C doesn't (through
C11 at least; don't know about C17). The union ('anything') is simple
enough that two instances can be compared without jumping through hoops.
I've also added another check for timer 'kind' (level, object, monster,
or global).
phase_of_moon and friday_13th determined using rn2() instead of local
time if fuzzing. Don't reseed using init_random() if fuzzing. Allow
set_random to be called outside of hacklib. rn2_on_display_rng uses
rn2 if fuzzing so that we have a single source of random that we can
ensure is reproducible. Implement rul() that returns a random unsigned
long. Fix bug in fuzzer handling of ntposkey which would cause us to use
unitialized values for x and y. Added command line arguments to allow
auto starting and stopping of fuzzer. Add a logging facility for the
fuzzer to use to record activity. Added some scripts used to automate
fuzzer testing on windows.
_snprintf and snprintf have one very important semantic difference.
_snprintf does NOT add terminating null character when the buffer limit
is reached while snprintf guarantees a terminating null character. It
was a mistake to make this naming change hiding the fact that the
semantics don't match what the developer might expect.
For ^X and final disclosure, report external issues that affect game
play: midnight, other night, new or full moon, and Friday the 13th.
The 'new feature' entry in the fixes file rambles a bit but if it
heads off even one spurious bug report, it'll have been worth it.
Extend support for highlight rules that specify percentages from HP
and spell power to experience level and experience points. For both
of those, the percentage is based on progress from the start of the
current Xp level to the start of the next Xp level. 100% isn't
possible so is used to enable highlighting a special case: 1 point
shy of next level, most likely to occur after losing a level.
This is something I had in mind a long time ago and then forgot all
about until fiddling with the final disclosure of experience points
recently. It turned out to be trickier than expected because it needs
to check whether Xp should have a status update when it hasn't changed
but Exp has gone up. The latter might hit a percentage threshold that
switches to another highlight rule. Fortunately changes to Exp, at
least that aren't part of level gain or loss (which always trigger
status updating), are all funnelled through a single place (I hope).
The PDC_NCMOUSE has to be defined on the command line
or above the #include entries in win/curses/cursmisc.c.
This does the former command line change.
If a punished player picks up the iron ball, gets engulfed and
saves, then the saved game will have missed saving the dangling
chain since it was not on the floor or in the inventory. Upon
restoring the saved game, the game will be in a bad state since
the ball will be worn but the chain will be missing.
One of the claims in #H8849 was that a monster which zapped a wand
that the hero had fully identified made hero's knowledge of it revert
to "a wand". That doesn't happen; it had to have been a different
wand which hadn't been seen up close yet. But the hero should lose
track of known number of charges if a wand is zapped outside his/her
view. When implementing that I noticed that a monster playing a fire
horn to burn away slime was using the routine that gives wand
feedback. Add a separate, similar routine for magical horn feedback.
Half this diff is due to moving a naming support routine from mhitm.c
to do_name.c.
Fix a couple of glitches and add an enchancement. The monster
attributes structure left the 'hidden' field uninitialized unless user
specified "hidden". Mimics were being flagged with mon->mundetected
because they pass the is_hider() test but they 'hide' by taking on an
appearance rather than being unseen due to mundetected. hides_under()
monsters fail the is_hider() test, but can become mundetected if there
is at least one object present. Eels/other fish are neither is_hider()
nor hides_under() but can be mundetected at water locations. So alter
'hidden' handling to deal with these various circumstances.
Asking for 'hidden' for any type of creature will result in having its
location be highlighted if it can't be actively seen or detected. So
using '2000 ^G piranha' will fill up the Plane of Water "normally" but
'2000 ^G hidden piranha' will result in a ton of draw-glyph/delay/
draw-other-glyph/delay sequences and take a painfully long time. Moral
of the story: don't combine 'hidden' with a large count unless you
want to spend quite a while watching the level's fill pattern. Turning
off the 'sparkle' option will cut the flashing in half but still take
a long time. If you really need to fill a level with hidden creatures
and can't bear the flashing/highlighting, use blessed potion of monster
detection or #wizintrinsics to have extended detect. Then all created
monsters will be seen so none will trigger location highlighting.
If you create a 'stalker' or 'invisible stalker' or 'invisible <other-
mon>' its location won't be highlighted, but for 'hidden stalker' or
'hidden invisible stalker' or 'hidden invisible <other-mon>' it will
(provided you don't actually see it due to See_invisible or sensemon()).
Throwing or kicking a lit lamp, lit candle, or lit potion of oil
wasn't giving off any light as it travelled to its destination.
Now it does, and dungeon features, objects, or monsters that are
temporarily seen as it moves from square to square till appear on
the map. In the monster case, they go away as soon as the light
moves beyond range, but when it finishes moving the "remembered,
unseen monster" glyph will be drawn at their location. I think that
part has some room for improvement, but mapping temporarily seen
terrain features is the primary impetus for this change.
Also, any message delivery while the "lit missile" travelled still
showed its light around the hero. Noticeable for lamps or stacks
of sufficient candles if hero has no other light source.
This cannibalizes the monst->mburied bit for temporarily seeing a
monster. It has been present but unused for ages. I needed to
replace a couple of vision macros to make sure they didn't examine
it any more so that overloading for transient lighting doesn't
introduce any vision oddities. For version $NEXT, monst->mtemplit
can be given its own bit. It is only set during bhit() execution
and cleared by the time that returns, so has no effect on save files.
placebc was triggering an impossible sometimes on the plane of
water
It turned out to be because movebubbles issued an
unplacebc(), but a downstream function called
placebc(), so when movebubbles() issued its own
placebc() there was a problem.
The downstream function that beat movebubbles to the placebc()
turned out to be unstuck(). There could be others.
Changing an inventory item's bknown flag wasn't followed by a call to
update_inventory() in many circumstances, so information which should
have appeared wasn't showing up until some other event triggered an
update.
Fixes#196
If you didn't die from turning into green slime but then died because
green slimes had been genocided, the message given assumed that you
had just seen "OK, you don't die" from answering No to "Really die?".
Its wording didn't make sense if the reason you didn't die was an
amulet of life-saving. Give a different message for that case.
Also, if you survive turning into slime (via either method) and either
green slimes are still around or you answer No to "Really die?" when
they've been genocided, give a message after "You survived that attempt
on your life" pointing out that you have done so in green slime form.
Useful since prior to 3.6.2 you would have reverted to original form--
despite the Slimed countdown saying you had turned into green slime.
Even though a goodpos failure in mnearto() would return 0 to
the caller and trigger proper overcrowding handling for mtmp,
the 'othermon' would be left with its mx,my set to 0,0 under
that circumstance and then trigger a mon_sanity_check()
failure and accompanying impossible() message a short while
afterwards.
This also includes the addition of some flags that proved useful
for troubleshooting the mystery sanity_check failure and helping
to understand some of the code paths the struct monst data had
been through. They are only used for inspection when issues are
reported or when debugging, they don't presently control the
code flow. Their setting and use is done in an overloaded way
that should not intrude on the existing use of mspare1 for
MIGR_LEFTOVERS. mon->mstate is just a pseudonym for mon->mspare1
and does not alter save file content.
This doesn't solve the <0,0> problem but it does prevent mnexto()
from using uninitialized coordinates if enexto() fails. It also adds
several debugging messages.
enexto() was ignoring map row #0 (unlike column #0, row #0 contains
valid map locations). Fixing that doesn't matter for Plane of Water
though since that row is stone there--that's probably a bug. It was
also repeatedly re-testing the top+1 and bottom rows and left and
right columns after they had already failed to be acceptable. It
still does some of that, but less.
There was a post-3.6.2 discussion on a forum where someone had
tried to copy the NetHack 3.6.2 exe file overtop of an
existing NetHack 3.6.0 playground, and then try to run it.
We have never suggested trying that, nor do we attempt to
provide any backward or forward compatibility between the
supporting files found in nhdat that would allow that. Any
particular version of NetHack expects to have matching
support files designed and matched to that version.
This adds optional support for helping to prevent the
opening of nhdat containing support files from an
unmatched version of NetHack.
If you #define VERSION_IN_DLB_FILENAME in your
platform's include/*conf.h file, it will use a
name such as nhdat362, instead of plain nhdat, and
will exit more gracefully than the fault/crash
mentioned in the discussion if it doesn't find the
file it is looking for.
Developers - please note that if you do
to cause NetHack to look for an nhdat* file with
the version info appended to the name, you will likely
have to modify your build/clean/spotless mechanics
beyond the C compile itself to properly deal with the
new generated file name.
Add a bc sanity check. It seems to work ok--in other words, not
trigger--under normal punishment. I don't have any test cases to
exercise its warnings.
This dragged in a couple of minor bc changes that were pending. I
should have cleared those out before tackling the sanity checking.
