The consolidation of global variables from scattered source
files into decl.c and declared in decl.h was begun in 3.7.0.
Their placement in common files was done for centralized
initialization and potential re-initialization during a
"play again" scenario.
It wasn't really necessary for all of them to be housed in a
single huge structure to meet the "play again" requirement,
and the single huge structure has been a little unwieldy when
it comes to maintenance.
Following this commit, instead of one single extremely large structure
named 'g' to house all of the relocated global variables, they
are distributed into several ga through gz.
To make things easy for the developer, each variable is placed
into the struct corresponding to the starting letter of the variable.
That way, no lookup is required in order to know which struct houses
a particular variable, it is a simple match to the starting letter
for all the centralized global variables.
A global variable named 'amulets', would be found in ga.
ga.amulets
^ ^
A global varable named 'move', would be found in gm.
gm.moves
^ ^
A global variable named 'val_for_n_or_more' would be found in gv.
gv.val_for_n_or_more
^ ^
A global variable named 'youmonst' would be found in gy.
gy.youmonst

The macro (currently unused, I think) for checking whether a particular
index designates a subroom was off by one on the maximum allowable
value.
Because of the dedicated extra space for the g.rooms array terminator
flag (hx == -1), subroom indices in g.rooms are set out in the range
[MAXNROFROOMS+1, MAXNROFROOMS*2], inclusive.
Also some minor formatting tweaks.
One of the drivers of this change was that screen coordinates require a
type that can hold values greater than 127. Parameters to the window
port routines require a large type in order to be able to have values
a fair bit larger than COLNO and ROWNO passed to them, particularly for
their use to the right of the map window.
This splits the uses of xchar into 3 different situations, and adjusts
their type and size:
xchar
|
-----------------------
| | |
coordxy xint16 xint8
coordxy: Actual x or y coordinates for various things (moved to 16-bits).
xint16: Same data size as coordxy, but for non-coordinate use (16-bits).
xint8: There are only a few use cases initially, where it was very
plain to see that the variable could remain as 8-bits, rather
than be bumped to 16-bits. There are probably more such cases
that could be changed after additional review.
Note: This first changed all xchar variables to coordxy. Some were
reviewed and got changed to xint16 or xint8 when it became apparent that
their usage was not for coordinates.
This increments EDITLEVEL in patchlevel.h
des.region() accepted booleans for the joined field, whereas des.room
accepted xchars. These were only being used as truth values, so this
converts the room ones into booleans for consistency. I don't think
accidentally using an int or a boolean wrongly would actually crash the
level generator, but consistency is good.
This converts an schar field in struct mkroom into a boolean; on most
systems these are probably 1-byte types and save files won't be broken,
but it might be best to treat this as a save breaker anyway.
If we ever want huge maps with COLNO or ROWNO larger than signed char,
this will at least allow the game to compile and start when typedef'ing
xchar to int. Trying to use huge maps exposes more bugs.
The existing system was a confusing mess of competing names (filled,
needfill, prefilled, etc) that had varying semantics, with prefilled
being the worst offender as it meant at least three different things in
various contexts. This commit unifies everything in the code under
"needfill", and everything in Lua under "filled", which defaults to 0
everywhere.
This also removes the second argument to fill_special_room; that
function now just checks the needfill of the room it's passed. As
before, a filled == 2 value is used for a special room to indicate that
the room should set the appropriate level flag, but shouldn't actually
be stocked with anything (for instance, King Arthur's throne room); the
difference is that this now comes directly from the lua script instead
of being manipulated within sp_lev.c.
The prefilled argument had one use case that is occasionally used in the
level files: if the level designer had specified an ordinary region with
prefilled = 1, it would become a room to control monster arrivals on a
level -- monsters that arrive within the bounds of a room are supposed
to stay there.
However, not all of the places where the comments indicated this was
being used were using it correctly; I tested this by letting a few
monsters fall through the knox portal (they're supposed to be
constrained to the entry room) and waiting a hundred turns, then going
through the portal; they were not constrained to the room and had
"wandered" through its walls.
Instead of trying to maintain this special case, I have added an
optional "arrival_room" boolean argument to des.region, which forces it
to create a room for the purposes of constraining monster arrival.
I have gone through and replaced occurrences of prefilled in lua files
with the appropriate filled option (or arrival, as needed). In some
cases, that resulted in questionable regions such as a filled ordinary
area in a non-themeroom (I just dropped the filled=1), or an area which
didn't do anything, not even lighting (which I deleted).
Allows creating shaped or themed rooms for the Dungeons of Doom
via lua script.
Invalidates bones and saves.
Makefiles updated for unix/linux by adding themerms.lua, but other
OSes need to have that added.
I did my best to exempt some of the bigger aligned blocks from the reformatting
using the /* clang-format off */ and /* clang-format on */ tags. Probably some
that shouldn't have been formatted were anyway; if you encounter them, please
fix.
The clang-format tags were left in on the basis that it's much easier to prune
those out later than to put them back in, and it means that, modulo my custom
version of clang-format, I should be able to run clang-format on the source tree
again without changing anything, now that Pat has fixed the VA_DECL issues.
Noticed while working on #overview/#annotate revisions, one of which
will key off the oracle's welcome message. On a bones level, the oracle
could be outside her room, or the room's one time welcome message could be
used up, or both. During bones creation, discard her if she's on the wrong
level (probably not possible, aside from wizard mode ^G), try to put her
back into her room if she's outside it on the right level, and restore the
room's type (if she's still in it, or has been successfully moved back into
it) so that next hero who loads the bones will get her welcome message the
first time that room is entered.
Other special rooms could be fixed up too, provided that they're
sufficiently intact (stealthy hero might enter and get the one-time message
then run away and die elsewhere on the level; at present, next hero won't
get the room's entry message) but this doesn't attempt to deal with that.
Allow health food stores to carry eggs and tins of veggy contents in
their stock. The tins will almost always contain spinach because random
tins containing meat are converted into that.
Also, allow health food stores to be placed with the level compiler
(not tested) and to be forcibly placed in wizard mode via SHOPTYPE setting
of "V". Increments EDITLEVEL in patchlevel.h because lighting store in
Minetown got renumbered and the special level for it needs to be rebuilt.
