While looking at fixing the mfrozen issue for monsters (there's no
way to tell whether it's been caused by sleep or paralysis, necessitating
that some messages be vague or suppressed when actions impact monsters
who can't move), I noticed a drawbridge bug for the hero. It was using
the misleadingly named Sleeping intrinsic incorrectly. When that is
nonzero, the hero is prone to falling asleep at random intervals, not
necessarily asleep right now. I've always intended to rename it to
something that's not misleading, but hadn't ever gotten around to doing
so, until now: change the SLEEPING property to SLEEPY and the Sleeping
intrinsic/attribute to Sleepy.
This may be moot for the drawbridge. I can't remember any hero ever
jumping to safety instead of being crushed by either the bridge or its
portcullis, and I'm sure sleepiness hasn't been a factor. So I haven't
included any fixes entry about misusing Sleeping when it meant u.usleep
(or better yet, unconscious(); or even better, Unaware [a post-3.4.3
pseudo-property that tests both unconscious() and fainted() when checking
whether hero is incapacitated]).
+ Separate the two uses of flags.soundok.
+ Player-settable option is now called "acoustics".
+ Deafness is now handled as a full-fledged attribute.
+ Check for deafness in You_hear(), rather than caller.
+ Check for deafness in caller, rather than verbalize(),
because gods can speak to characters in spite of deafness.
+ Since changes are being made to prop.h, reorder it to the
same order as youprop.h and enlightenment.
There are still some extraneous checks and missing checks
for deafness, which will be followed up in a future patch.
Because of the size of this patch and its savefile incompatibilities,
it is only being applied to the trunk code. Portions of this patch
were written by Michael Allison.
