decode_mixed() writes its output into a 'char *' buffer that's passed
in to it and then returns that buffer. Some excessively paranoid
error checking forced to return 'const char *'. Relax that and use
'char *' so callers can work with the result without extra casts.
Change the generic status line location "End Game" to relevant element
name "Earth", "Air", &c. ("Plane of <element>" might be too long if
hungry and encumbered and afflicted by conditions. "Astral Plane" is
already specific so not affected.)
Honor hilite_status rules specifying color even if curses-specific
option 'guicolor' is off.
Update status from scratch when 'O' is used to manipulate hilite_status
rules.
Fix:
../sys/winnt/nhraykey.c: In function 'CheckInput':
../sys/winnt/nhraykey.c:459:37: warning: type of 'mode' defaults to 'int' [-Wimplicit-int]
int __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall CheckInput(hConIn, ir, count, numpad,
^~~~~~~~~~
The curses interface was ignoring video attributes (bold, inverse, &c)
when color is toggled off or if built with TEXTCOLOR disabled. Honor
attributes regardless of whether color is displayed.
Also, toggling 'hilite_pet' On during play wouldn't do anything if the
curses-specific 'petattr' option had been left as None. (It worked as
intended if set in starting options.)
Change the test for whether fonts.dir exists (added to the script
in 3.6.0, for automatically setting up possible use of the NH10 font
under X11) from 'test -e file' to 'test -f file' since the latter
seems to be more universally available. When present, fonts.dir is
plain text, so a test for "exists and is a regular file" rather than
one for general existance is appropriate.
If nethack is built to use graphical tombstone but file rip.xpm is
missing from the playground, there would be a crash if the rip output
was shown. My first attempt to fix it prevented the crash but didn't
display any tombstone, just the last couple of lines of output which
follow the tombstone. This keeps that in case of some other Xpm
failure, but checks for rip.xpm via stdio and reverts to genl_outrip
for text tombstone if it can't be opened.
Hide a bug in the X11 interface by manually wrapping 'short' version
line (the first line of #version output) when runtime ID or git hash
and/or branch is present. Otherwise the very wide 'short' line causes
a horizontal scrollbar to be present at the bottom of the popup window,
but the window size doesn't take that into account so ends up being
one line too short. Worse, there's no vertical scrollbar to bring the
last line into view.
Even if somebody figures out how to fix that properly, the really wide
line above a couple of paragraphs which have been carefully wrapped
for a much narrower width looked strange.
Also, move the 'short' version's period to the end of the text.
old: basic version info. (extra info)
new: basic version info (extra info).
Twice I've gone through the curses code to deal with CHAR_P, BOOLEAN_P,
and so forth. Both times I eventually changed my mind. This time I'm
just adding an explanatory comment instead.
Extend the earlier support for Delete/Rubout in getline() to the
text entry for extended commands. In other words, treat <delete>
and <backspace> as synonyms in both places.
Some reformatting too, but only in a couple of the files.
When setting up an alternate definition for UCHAR_P to accommodate
DEC C's non-ANSI mode(s), leave the default definition to tradstdc.h.
DEC C's VAXC mode will end up expecting 'unsigned char' rather than
either 'int' or 'unsigned int'. Not applicable for Unix but this
makes similar change there as is being made for VMS.
Suppress Isaac64 on VAX were there isn't an easy way to do 64-bit
arithmetic. (Hard way isn't worth it for just an alternate RNG.)
Eliminate or suppress some diagnostics:
1) In strict ANSI mode, DEC C was reporting that '$' in identifier is
an extension (one time for each file in sys/vms/*.c). (It doesn't do
that for the default 'relaxed ANSI' mode.)
2) DEC C uses WIDENED_PROTOTYPES but widens uchar (unsigned char)
differently depending upon the mode it is operating in. (Applies to
Unix as well as VMS; based on documentation rather than testing.)
Update the comment in tradstdc.h about WIDENED vs UNWIDENED_PROTOTYPES.
An old comment in config1.h about a problem with the earliest version
of DEC C was probably based on an incorrect assumption of what was
really going, but I have no way to go back in time to verify that....
Kicking a stack splits off one item (except for gold coins) and
propels it, but the range for how far it would move was calculated
before the split using the entire stack's weight. So a large stack of
small items might fail with "thump" (which the report suggested hurt
the hero, but it doesn't) and none of the stack would move. Splitting
sooner looked complicated because of several potential early returns
between the range calculation and the eventual kick, so this hacks the
stack's quantity to get the intended weight instead.
The VMS compiler supports C99 and defines __STDC_VERSION__ to the
corresponding value, but it doesn't supply <stdint.h> so isaac64.c
wouldn't compile. It does supply another header containing what is
needed.
showed non-empty containers in inventory (including the one being
applied) with a 'for sale' suffix during put-in operations, as if the
shop was trying to sell it to the hero. Amount shown was cumulative
value of its contents. (Using /menustyle:T doesn't show the container
being applied so this wasn't visible with it unless other non-empty
containers were being carried.)
Two or three fix attempts solved one problem but introduced another.
This one seems to finally get things right but considering that there
was trial and error along the way, my confidence isn't great.
If steed ate a mimic corpse and started mimicking an object or dungeon
furniture, the hero was able to keep riding. Force a dismount when
that happens, even if steed takes on monster shape rather than object
or furniture. After that, #ride to remount non-monster will fail
unless using wizard mode's "force mount to succeed" action, in which
case steed's eating finishes immediately and it returns to normal.
This doesn't address the older report that mounted hero can continue
to move around while the steed is eating.
number_pad got removed from Guidebook.tex when mouse_support was added
by cc0e7a8750fd4e07d3a44592c38f5912d4e603de; put it back. Evidently
a cut-and-paste mishap when copy-and-paste was intended, probably
provoked by '\numbox{}'.
Remove \numbox{} from mouse_support; it isn't needed there since the
choices aren't trying to line up with '-1'.
Both Guidebook.mn and Guidebook.tex:
Remove number_pad's "for backward compatibility" from mouse_support
since the latter is brand new.
New petattr list of uppercase letters seemed intrusive when rendered
with a bold font, so switch to lowercase. (Option processing already
supports either case.)
Mention the '=' prefix for hilite_status 'absolute' threshold.
[As usual, the Guidebook.tex changes haven't been tested.]
Report forwarded from spam filter so not included in bugzilla list.
Make corpse revival feedback be more consistent. Some of the healer-
specific flavor is still there.
Generally, fish should lay their eggs in the water and
not on land, but the game was only allowing the opposite.
Eels are catadromous and lay their eggs in the Sargasso Sea,
not in the dungeon.
This started out as an attempt to document the curses options in the
Guidebook, but I didn't actually get that far. Instead, integrate
the curses options better via more consistent WC/WC2 usage. This
prevents 'guicolor' from showing up as a boolean option for non-curses
interface in curses+other binary.
For curses itself, let 'petattr' be set/reset via 'O'. Also, accept
'Dim' as a possible pet highlight attribute since it already handles
all the other ordinary attributes. I'm not sure what leftline and
rightline highlighting are supposed to do. They were missing for
ncurses (or maybe they're misspelled for PDcurses?) but adding them
didn't produce any visible effect (using TERM=xterm-256color on OSX
with default font/character set).
Not addressed:
1) general confusion about compile-time vs run-time option filtering;
2) curses pet highlighting only works if 'color' option is enabled.
Something else noticed while testing #H8271: toggling perm_invent on
with 'O' didn't show anything (at least with curses) until some later
action caused it to be updated. Make updating persistent inventory be
included with full redraw and set the need_redraw flag when toggling
perm_invent.
Realized while fixing #H8271: if persistent inventory got an update
while wearing or taking off was in progress (not within user's control
since hero is busy) the item in question was flagged as "(being worn)"
even though it wouldn't be worn if putting on got interrupted. Update
doname() to show "(being donned)" or "(being doffed)" instead of
"(being worn)" when corresponding operation is in progress. (During
testing, I was able to observe "being doffed" but never managed to see
"being donned".)
A relatively recent change moved 'obj->known = 1' when wearing armor
from before setworn(), which issues an update_inventory() call, to
afterwards. There wasn't any particular update then, so observing
the enchantment of armor by wearing it wasn't being reflected in the
persistent inventory window if that was enabled.
