and actually do so in the lua files.
Before this, it was not possible to specify (for example) "scroll of
teleportation" in des.object() because there is actually no object
defined in objects.h named "scroll of teleportation", so
find_objtype() failed to find it. Instead, one had to request
"teleportation", but that is ambiguous, and find_objtype() would find
the first defined item with that name instead (ring of teleportation).
In cases of ambiguity, I referred to the des files from 3.6.6 (before
the lua conversion).
Make selection rndcoord return a table with x and y keys.
Allow (most) coordinate parameters accept such a table.
Fix selection and des lua tests broken by the above changes and
an earlier change, because selections tried to set terrain
at column 0, and it now causes a complaint.
Stairs up from Orcish Town variation of Mine Town were being forced
to be near the bottom of the left side of the level due to a bogus
exclusion region in the level description. If that small area was all
solid rock then a warning was issued and no stairs up were created.
Game is playable, and should compile on linux and Windows.
Assumes you have a lua 5.3 library available.
Removes level compiler and associated files.
Replaces special level des-files with lua scripts.
Exposes some NetHack internals to lua:
- des-table with commands to create special levels
- nh-table with NetHack core commands
- nhc-table with some constants
- u-table with some player-specific data (u-struct)
- selection userdata
Adds some rudimentary tests.
Adds new extended command #wizloadlua to run a specific script,
and #wizloaddes to run a specific level-creation script.
nhlib.lua is loaded for every lua script.
Download and untar lua:
mkdir lib
cd lib
curl -R -O http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
tar zxf lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
Then make nethack normally.
