Update sys/unix/Makefile.doc to be able to build Guidebook.dat, an
unpaginated copy of the plain text Guidebook. It's generated from
the 'roff source rather than by attempting to post-process the
regular text Guidebook.
No doubt there are easier ways to do this.
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.
Move some 'roff macros from Guidebook.mn to new file tmac.nh.
Header for tmac.nh is not being updated, even after explicitly adding
it to .gitattributes. I'm not sure what I've done wrong. (I'm using
'git nhadd doc/' here rather than explicit 'git nhadd doc/tmac.nh'.)
In Guidebook.mn, change the ``setenv NETHACKOPTIONS'' example so that
it fits within one line in Guidebook.txt. (I looked at 3.4.3's
edition of that file and the example went not just beyond the margin
of the formatted text but beyond 80 columns, so wrapped in an ugly
fashion.) I had previously changed 'autoquiver' to 'color' to shorten
it, now have changed '!autopickup' to '!leg' to show an example of
truncated option name as well as shorten, and also 'fruit:papaya' to
'fruit:lime' to squeeze out the last two columns needed to fit within
the text margin while retaining 'name:Blue Meanie' as requested.
Guidebook.txt shows both NETHACKOPTIONS examples with indentation
suppressed, Guidebook.ps uses normal indentation (evidently using a
narrower font, even with \f(CR (constant-width Roman) to approximate
TeX's \tt, since the indented example fits fine and looks better).
Some Guidebook.tex catchup. I suspect that lots of bits and bobs
don't match between Guidebook.mn and Guidebook.tex these days.
Particularly quoting and variant font (italics, bold, \tt) usage.
Also the recently added box around the sample screenshot. This
modifies the screenshot to match Guidebook.mn's, reflecting change
in status field spacing by STATUS_HILITES.
Add a man page for makedefs so mdgrep is documented better.
Add missing INSURANCE to mdgrep.h. (yes, LIFE leaks in as well)
Add makefile bits to build makedefs.txt.
Pass dungeon.def through mdgrep internally to makedefs - this will make
it possible to commit the LIFE patch and have config.h actually turn it
all the way off (by skipping bigrm-6).
If SHELLDIR is null, don't install nethack.sh. Also a tid in Porting
and add NHSROOT to the Makefiles which gives a path to the top of the
tree (so e.g. you can always find makedefs from a rule in a hints file).
use makedefs --grep in Makefile.doc
call make clean in doc from make clean in top
add commented out rule to produce mdgrep.h from mdgrep.pl
macosx1.5: don't chown/chgrp for single-user install
unixmain.c: work around C90 warning for Mac-specific code, fix last fix
makedefs.c: temporarily disallow blank after control introducer until docs
catch up
mdgrep.pl: add ALLDOCS, clean up generated file's header
Last fall when Michael added the symset stuff to supersede the old
handling for IBMgraphics and DECgraphics, Guidebook.tex was changed to
support multi-page tables in the output. But that requires that the
input be processed twice, because it requires feedback stored in
Guidebook.aux and the first pass can't rely on that file being present
or up to date. This updates the Unix, VMS, and OS/2 makefiles to do
two-pass processing. (I didn't see latex usage anywhere else, and the
branch version doesn't include the formatting change which needs this.)
I found that the setting of GUIDECMD sys/unix/Makefile.doc didn't cut
it with groff-1.18. Also, the command was duplicated in the rule to
generate Guidebook.txt.
