After casting a spell, a monster got a chance to make a regular attack
despite the apparent attempt to set up a return value indicating that
it wouldn't move.
When looking over the return value situation, I noticed 'wormhitu()'
for the first time. It gives worms additional attacks when the hero
is adjacent to some of the tail, that only works if the head is within
reach of a melee attack. The hidden tail segment at head's location
always met that criterium so gave an extra attack that didn't make
sense; change wormhitu() to skip that segment.
Do some formatting in mcastu.c; no change in actual code there.
Fixes#285
While testing the changes to dungeon and special level handling, I got
|A mysterious force prevents you from descending!
|You materialize on a different level!
The mystery force is handled by goto_level() so level_tele() doesn't
know that the failure is going to happen when it sets up the message
for deferred delivery. Suppress the message if you don't change levels.
Some cleanup when chasing a memory leak. get_table_str() and
get_table_str_opt() return a value from dupstr() and it wasn't always
being freed. I'm not sure that I found the problem--maybe it involved
pointers turned over to Lua garbage collection--but did find a couple
of suspicious things in dungeon setup.
Preparation for moving enlightenment and conduct into new source
file insight.c. Right now it's a stub that shouldn't break anything
whether included or omitted. Once makefiles and project files have
been updated to compile and link it, the actual code will be moved.
unix/Makefile.src has been updated;
vms/Makefile.src and vmsbuild.com have been updated but not tested.
nhl_loadlua() went from too simple to too complicated, now somewhere
in between. Still doesn't assume that an entire file can be scooped
up with a single fread(), but no longer mucks about with the contents
of the file in order to insert a comment containing the file's name.
In order to have useful filename feedback in Lua error messages, just
use a different liblua routine to feed the file's contents to it.
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.
Applying royal jelly listed all of inventory as likely candidates for
what to rub it on, including itself.
Applying it to anything took no time.
After the "you smear royal jelly on <foo>" message,
unsuccessfully applying it to non-eggs gave no other feedback;
successfully applying it to eggs gave no additional feedback.
Allow #rub to use royal jelly too.
Also, require hands to apply or #rub anything.
Not done: fumbling and/or slippery fingers should have a chance to
drop the jelly or to drop whatever gets rubbed with it.
Royal jelly applied on an egg will change a killer bee egg to
a queen bee egg. Cursed jelly will kill the egg, uncursed and blessed
will revive it. Blessed jelly will also make the creature think
you're the parent.
Original patch was by Kenneth Call
Instead of hardcoding the "prize" type and then watching for that
to be created, specify it in the level description.
Also, instead of giving both Sokoban end levels 50:50 chance for
either prize, bias the one that used to always have the bag of
holding to now have 75% chance for that and 25% chance for amulet
of reflection, with the other one having those chances reversed.
So still 50:50 overall.
Also change a bunch of automatic arrays with initializers to static
so that they won't be reinitialized every time their block is entered.
get_table_buc() is changed to support bless/curse specifiers for
"not-cursed", "not-uncursed", and "not-blessed" but they aren't used
yet.
"The 'm' prefix before a movement command can be used" is awkwardly
worded.
"Various ... variations" is redundant all by itself but doubly so
when "various" is used again two sentences later.
mention_decor is missing a sentence between "Normally only shown
when obscured" and then an exception when it is enabled.
Add the new header file to HACKINCL which only matters to HSOURCES
which only matters for the 'tags' target.
'make depend' reordered some stuff that could have stayed as-is but
also found a missing dependency for nhlobj.{c,o}.
Hero shouldn't be able to zap wands when polymorphed into a form which
lacks hands.
The other tweaks to dozap() shouldn't produce any change in behavior.
Somewhat similar to 'mention_walls', 'mention_decor' is a way to
request additional feedback when moving around the map. It reports
furniture or unusual terrain when you step on that. Normally stepping
on furniture only mentions it when it is covered by object(s). And
moving onto (rather than into) water or lava or ice doesn't bother
saying anything at all. With the new option set there will be a
message. It uses Norep so won't repeat when moving from one water
spot to another or one lava spot to another or one ice spot to another
unless there has been at least one intervening message. There is also
a one-shot message when moving from water or lava or ice onto ordinary
terrain (not Norep, just once since there's no land to land message).
Having the verbose flag Off doesn't inhibit these new messages but it
does shorten them: "A fountain." instead of "There is a fountain here."
The Guidebook gets a new subsection "Movement feedback" of the "Rooms
and corridors" section and it covers more than just 'mention_decor'.
As usual, Guidebook.tex is untested.
'mention_decor' persists across save/restore, so 'struct flags' has
changed and EDITLEVEL is being bumped, hence save files are invalided.
recover had deviated somewhat from NetHack in its
file expectations:
1) A couple of 3.7 fields needed to be accommodated.
2) hard-coded file size values had deviated.
The file sizes are now in an added header file named "filesize.h",
which is included at the bottom of config.h.
There will likely be another commit to write the filename size ahead
of the file name so that the precise number of characters can be read,
but since that will break existing saves, it can go in along with another
save-breaking commit.
This commit doesn't not alter savefiles written by nethack so does not
require an editlevel bump. It does alter the read-in expectation in
recover to match the game and this get recover working again.
If level teleport took you somewhere special, things like shop entry
or quest summons or valley atmosphere messages were being given first,
then "you materialize on a different level" after. schedule_goto()
takes before-change-message and after-change-message arguments; it
ought to be extended to have a mid-change-message one too but I didn't
think of that until just now.
Like lava when that looks the same as water with color Off, render ice
in inverse video if it looks the same as the floor of a room. (I tried
bold first but the result didn't look very good.)
Done for tty and curses; others may want to follow suit.
There was a complaint that despite charisma of 13 being above average,
the character was described as "ugly". The cut-off was actually >14
for "beautiful" or "handsome" vs <=14 for "ugly". This adds several
more grades of appearance.
