When user presses '/', pop up a meny asking what the user wants to
look at:
What do you want to look at:
a - something on the map
b - something you're carrying
c - something else
This replaces the "Specify unknown object by cursor?" -prompt,
while keepng backwards compatibility, and also allows querying
about items in the inventory.
The 'zdir' function parameter has the same name as 'zdir' global
variable, triggering a 'shadowing' warning. I had to read the 'if'
statement multiple times to convince myself it was doing what was
intended. It was, but I think this rewrite is easier to understand
(at least for my feeble reptilian brain).
I don't know who Tim Wright is, but his 15 mintues of fame has
lasted for at least a decade so I cut his comment out. (The 28.5
year old GAN one a dozen lines lower was a tempting target for
removal, but I managed to stop myself; otherwise it never ends.)
For those pro players who really want to try their hand
at that zen samurai, without needing to reroll thousands
of times to start with blindfold. Nudist starts without
any armor, and keeps tabs whether you wore any during
the game, for even more bragging rights.
Also makes the Book of the Dead readable even while
blind, for obvious reasons.
Instead of just "while helpless", the death reason will tell
more explicitly why the player was helpless. For example:
"while frozen by a monster's gaze"
This is Michael Deutschmann's use_darkgray -patch.
Adds a boolean option use_darkgray, settable in config file.
This patch has been in use on NAO for years, and I have heard
once someone say their terminal didn't support the dark gray
color.

This addresses the flavorwise concern.
Restricting the text display only to the end of game disclose,
so it doesn't clutter the inventory during gameplay and so that
the readability of t-shirts is not given away.
Bag of tricks that had been used at least once was being described
as "empty" regardless of charge count, because it always fails the
Has_contents() test. After half this patch fixed that, it started
being flagged as "empty" as soon as the last charge was used rather
than after attempting to use it again after that, since 'cknown' was
being set whenever it was used. Only set that flag when applying
the bag has been observed to fail.
My dog bit an acid blob and triggered a crash, caught by SYSCF panictrace
but yielding confusing information. The backtrace included a call from
'rustm()+N' that turned out to be passivemm(), which was deferencing a
null pointer since no weapon was involved.

This addresses the "hiding under nothing" bug, but does not
address this flavor comment also included in the report:

This fixes the code violation, but the logic will now drop down to the
ghost/wraith/zombie code when that happens.
Is that desireable, or should something else happen (for variety)?
DECgraphics, IBMgraphics, and MACgraphics used to be recognized when
at least 3 letters were supplied back when they were true boolean
options. When they got demoted to shortcuts for the symset option,
they started needing 10 (DEC and IBM) or all 11 (MAC), otherwise
triggering "bad syntax in NETHACKOPTIONS" (or config file). Revert
to having the first three letters be sufficient.
This old feature alert from 3.3.0 is pretty stale, so remove
if from the code because everybody has probably suppressed
it by now.
/* Because 'Q' used to be quit... */
if (flags.suppress_alert < FEATURE_NOTICE_VER(3,3,0))
pline("Note: Please use #quit if you wish to exit the game.");
With SYSCF, the SYSCF_FILE name was overwriting the
default config file name making it unavailable for
subsequent user config file options handling.
- Keep the name of the last config file successfully opened.
- Do it without orphaning the default config file name needed
for the next pass.
Reported by Alex, the probabilites shown in the comment about the effect
of the mysterious force have been wrong ever since they were added 20 or
so years ago. Lawfuls and neutrals are much more likely to go down just
one level rather than 2 or 3.
No, not a blindness cure. :-} Post-3.4.3 revisions to makesingular()
inadvertently made it impossible to successfully wish for "the Eyes
of the Overworld" because the string got changed into "the Eye of the
Overworld" which doesn't match anything. So don't singularize "eyes".
(After this fix, wishing for "the Eyes of the Aethiopica" no longer
yields the Eye of same, but I think that's the correct behavior.)
Since that line of code is used by a lot of different ports, I decided to
recant its removal and just add #ifdef to ensure it isn't compiled on WIN32.
I think other ports might encounter the same issue where the first pass with
filename set to 'sysconf', is then going to overwrite the hard-coded user
config file name, but I can't fix or test those so for those ports, it
will be now be back the way it was.
Whenever SYSCF was enabled on Windows, the option
processing would go bonkers with illegal options
at startup. I noticed it months ago, and Derek
had it happen the other evening.
It turns out, the hard-coded 'defaults.nh' setting
was being overwritten with the name sysconf on
the first SET_IN_SYS pass, so all subsequent passes
were re-opening the SYSC_FILE instead of the
user config file.
I opted to take it out as I couldn't ascertain
why it was there in the first place.
