Air bubble movement on the Plane of Water manipulated <u.ux,u.uy>
directly when changing hero's coordinates, leaving steed with old
coordinates, resulting in dunking it when the old spot switched from
air to water. Switch to u_on_newpos() which moves the steed with
the hero and also handles clipping when the screen is too small to
show the whole map at once.
The earlier fix removed a valid optimization which happened to be
implemented incorrectly. Put that back. It also left an invalid
optimization when applied to conditions. Remove that one.
I don't think either of these explains truncating 'y' off of "Hungry"
which was shown in one of the reports.
Reported as #H8609 (1679)
Some code recently added to render_status() for BL_CONDITION:
if (!tty_condition_bits)
continue;
was short-circuiting the required copy of NOW
values to BEFORE values for later comparison
further down in the for-loop.
tty_status[BEFORE][idx] = tty_status[NOW][idx];
This caused some fields to be bypassed for rendering
once no more tty_condition_bits were set because the
length comparisons would match.
Autodescribe feedback and multi-digit count prompts are always shown
on the last line of the message window and are suppressed from message
history (both ^P and DUMPLOG). When the message window is using all
available lines, the last one was being overwritten (until the count
or the feedback was completed or dismissed, then last line returned).
Adopt the suggestion that it be scrolled up a line instead of being
overwritten. [I haven't been able to reproduce the reported problem
where shorter overlaid text left some of longer underlying text visible
but that should now become moot.]
Bonus fix: while testing, I noticed that if your screen only has room
for a one-line message window and you used ESC to cancel 'pick a spot
with cursor' prompting before moving the cursor, the prompt was left
intact on the message line. tty erases it in that situation, but the
clear_nhwindow(WIN_MESSAGE) was a no-op for curses because it usually
doesn't erase old messages. This changes the curses behavior when the
core asks it to erase the message window: now it forces one blank line
of fake autodesribe feedback (causing the prompt or other most recent
message to scroll off top), then removes that fake feedback (leaving
a blank message line). For multi-line message window, the old messages
scroll up by one line sooner than they would when waiting for the next
real message but are otherwise unaffected.
When using '/' or ';' and picking--not just viewing the autodescribe
feedback for--a space or '#' on the map, the game would produce
That can be many things (stone)
or
That can be many things (corridor)
unlike the usual
- the interior of a monster or a wall or an open door (wall)
when the symbol matched more than 4 things. I first changed it to
append the full sentence's missing period, but ultimately switched to
# can be many things (corridor)
so that the symbol that "many things" refers to isn't hidden. This
works better for ^P where player isn't looking at the symbol anymore.
The curses interface would assign menu selector characters a-z, A-Z,
and then 0-9, but trying to type 0-9 would start a count rather than
select an entry, and if the display was tall enough for more than 62
entries, the ones after '9' were ASCII punctuation characters.
Limit the number of entries per page to 52 + number_of_'$'_entries
(which should be 0 or 1) so that it won't run out of normal letters.
The perm_invent window, if enabled, ought to allow more than that
because it isn't used to make selections and might have an arbtirary
number of '#' overflow entries. But I'll leave that for somebody
else to tackle.
Tested by temporarily setting the limit to 26 instead of 52 since
I'm not able to display anything tall enough to exercise the latter.
When place_object() puts a non-boulder underneath a boulder, make it
put the non-boulder under all the boulders there rather than just under
the topmost one. Otherwise the map display will show the non-boulder
rather than the 2nd boulder if the top boulder gets moved away by some
means other than pushing. (Pushing explicitly brings lower boulder to
top of pile in order to try to push it next.)
Reproduce by: wish for boulder--it will drop. Drop something else--
the something-else will end up under the boulder. Repeat. The second
boulder will be on top but the second something-else will be next in
the pile, above the first boulder. Now polymorph into a giant and pick
up the first boulder, then move away from that spot. Map will show
second something-else instead of the remaining boulder.
This fairly simple fix should work reliably on new games since boulders
will end up being consecutive on the top of piles. For old games,
boulders after the topmost could be anywhere and still yield a display
glitch, but since that's all the problem is (I hope...), we ought to
be able to live with that until old games eventually go away.
[A map display glitch doesn't explain a corrupted 'uball' so this fix
doesn't solve that.]
Change of couple entries which describe fixed bugs to use past tense
instead of present tense. Fix a typo or two and a couple of instances
of clumsy wording. Move a dead-fake-hero-on-trap entry from normal
fixes section to exposed-by-git section since it was a post-3.6.1 bug.
Move two VMS entries from exposed-by-git section to interface-specific
section where they were intended.
I didn't make it through the whole file so there may be more room for
improvement. It's too late for 3.6.2 but the copy of doc/fixes36.2 in
later versions will be 'better'.
Being turned into green slime never drops hero's inventory so invent
objects shouldn't be subject to obj_not_held() handling.
obj_not_held() does apply to undead. Arising as a mummy or vampire
doesn't go through the trouble of dropping everything and picking it
back up, but there is a point in the die...arise sequence where the
hero is implicitly a corpse so nobody is holding his/her stuff.
When cloning a monster, clear the clone trapped and hiding states.
When splitting a monster (eg. a black pudding), the clone could
be placed on a trap, so do mintrap.
When removing a monster from the map, clear the trapped state.

The change to fix setting SEDUCE=0 in sysconf broke chatting with
seductive demons by unintentionally changing the way Null attack
argument was handled. It's still handled differently than it used
to be, but I think this difference is correct.
Fixes#187
Qt5 gave "status 'reassess' before init" panic at start of new game.
Don't call status_initialize(REASSESS) from set_usamon()--used for
hero setup as well as for hero polymorph--unless it was previously
called from display_gamewindows() with !REASSESS [which happens when
windowprocs.wincap2 has WC2_STATUS_HILITES or WC2_FLUSH_STATUS set].
If a poly'd hero spits venom and it lands at a 'soft' spot such as
water, it would remain as an intact venom object. (Venom spat by
monsters seems to always be used up regardless of where it lands.)
