Izchak implemented the mysterious force and as far as I'm concerned,
it's here to stay. But it can be fine tuned. This is an experimental
attempt to make it happen less. Each time it happens, the chance for
it happening again later will usually go down by an amount proportional
to how far it sent the hero back. So chaotics will be sent back--or
"side to side"--less often than in 3.6.x but the tapering off of such
occurrences will be slower for them. Lawfuls will also be sent back
less often--still potentially farther down than others--but tapering
off of send backs for them will be quicker.
I'll let somebody else figure out the before and after values for
number of attempts to climb up it takes to finally get out of Gehennom.
The numbers might need tuning.
Handle recently changed armoroff() differently. There should be no
change in behavior.
boots_simple_name(), shield_simple_name(), and shirt_simple_name()
are for no-delay armor types so won't be called by armoroff(). But
they'll undoubtedly get some use in the future.
I deleted three lines
../include/../lib/lua-5.3.5/src/lua.h \
../include/../lib/lua-5.3.5/src/lualib.h \
../include/../lib/lua-5.3.5/src/lauxlib.h \
from $(CONFIG_H) but other than that, this is as-is with unmodified
'make depend'. depend.awk will need to be taught about suppressing
those lua headers.
Something I noticed in the hardfought diff what looked interesting.
Unfortunately the most interesting bit turns out to be unuseable.
Display high altars (Moloch's Sanctum and the Astral Plane) in
bright-magenta and unaligned altars (aside from the Sanctum one) in
red. Hardfought's code also uses white for lawful, gray for neutral,
and black for chaotic, matching the unicorn colors associated with
the alignments. But those colors don't render in a reliable fashion
(see the comment in mapglyph.c) and become confusing about why they're
used for altars of particular alignments.
New procedures added to win/win32/vs2017/travisci.sh for travis-ci testing.
- use curl to obtain Lua from http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
- use tar to unzip lua into lib/lua-5.3.5/...
Note: curl and tar were both added as part of Windows 10 in late Dec 2017
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Containers/Tar-and-Curl-Come-to-Windows/ba-p/382409
- use git to clone pdcurses into lib/pdcurses
- use git to clone universal-ctags into lib/ctags
- build universal-ctags ahead of building NetHack + lua + pdcurses
- adjust sys/winnt/Makefile.msc to look for those things in their lib locations when
building under travis
Changing from BETA to RELEASED resulted in turning off PANICTRACE
and that exposed a minor memory leak. Only applies to program exit
so doesn't impact play.
