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.
Fixes#177
The monst struct has 'mintrinsics' field which attempts to handle
both mon->data->mresists and extrinsics supplied by worn armor, but
polymorph/shape-change was clobbering the extrinsics side of things.
Potentially fixing that by changing newcham() to use set_mon_data(...,1)
instead of (...,0) solved that but exposed two other bugs. Intrinsics
from the old form carried over to the new form along with extrinsics
from worn armor, and update_mon_intrinsics() for armor being destroyed
or dropped only worked as intended if the armor->owornmask was cleared
beforehand--some places were clearing it after, so extrinsics from worn
gear could persist even after that gear was gone.
So, fixing the set_mon_data() call in newcham() was a no go. This
fixes update_mon_intrinsics() and adopts the suggested code from
github pull request #177 to have mon->mintrinsics only handle worn
gear instead of trying to overload innate intrinsics with that. This
is a superset of that; the flag argument to set_mon_data() is gone
and mon->mintrinsics has been renamed mon->mextrinsics. (The routine
update_mon_intrinsics() ought to be renamed too, but I didn't do that.)
Do late message suppression in a different fashion. Also, there are
more messages than shk taking hero's possessions and guard taking
hero's gold that need to be suppressed if regular message delivery
is no longer possible: "do not pass Go", "you arise from the grave
as a foo", "the corridor disappears", "you are encased in the rock".
Those last two are from vault handling but take place in a convoluted
manner: paygd -> mongone -> grddead -> clear_fcorr.
Fixes#101
If you tell the vault guard your name, drop carried gold, wait one
turn, then pick up the gold again, the guard will move a step away
during the wait. If you teleport away, the guard will seal vault
walls and then park himself on the one-square (so far) temporary
corridor adjacent to the vault wall. Periodically he'll say "Move
along!" and the hero will hear it, regardless of location on the
level. Unless you dig a corridor to rescue him, or one or more of
the vault's walls get breached again, he will never move.
The report emphasized that you could use this to steal the vault's
gold, but it relies on being able to teleport beyond the gaurd's
reach and if you can do that, you might as well do so before the
guard comes. The stranded guard, and him saying "Move along!" when
no longer leading hero out of the vault, are more significant bugs.
Bonus fix: if the game ends and the guard seals up the vault while
the hero is in a spot that gets fixed up (vault wall or temporary
corridor) don't give the "You are encased in the rock" message if
game end was due to death rather than quit.
The new code provoked several warnings; this fixes one of them.
Moving the declaration of 'rolecount' would have been sufficient,
but I've gone another way.
This is branched from Alex's hallu-rng-stability branch,
with two build corrections (detect.c, zap.c), and merged
with the isaac64 branch that we have ready to go.
Alex's dual rng is supported by setting up the array
of multiple isaac64 contexts.
I stuck with Alex's approach of passing the rng function
name around as the parameter (rng or rn2_on_display_rng)
for the new additional parameter needed for
set_random(), init_random(), reseed_random(),
and init_isaac64().
move some system-specific seed-related stuff from hacklib.c to
a system-specific source file and #define SYS_RANDOM_SEED to
utilize it during build.
Windows changes for random seed generation using
crypto next gen (CNG) api routines.
Corresponding vms changes due to disentangling of VMS and
unix when the unix seed bits got moved (untested).
Linux and BSD system have random number source devices that can be used
as source for a unguessable seed source.
Other platforms fall back to generate the seed with gettime().
This is based on the multiple-RNGs code fron NetHack4, but using
only the parts relevant to the display RNG (and with substantial
changes, both because of post-3.4.3 changes, and because Nethack4's
display code is based on Slash'EM's rather than NetHack's).
I did much of this quite some time ago, as prequisite for a different
bug report about monsters vs shades, then set it aside. It ended up
being more complicated than I anticipated.
When deciding whether various non-weapon attacks might hit a shade,
hmonas() was not checking for blessed or silver armor that should have
been applicable. It did check boots when kicking, but not gloves or
rings (when no gloves) when touching, or outermost of cloak/suit/shirt
when hugging, or helmet when head-butting. (The last one is actually
moot because nothing with a head-butt attack is able to wear a helm.)
The problem was more general than just whether attacks might hit and
hurt shades. Various undead and/or demons are also affected by blessed
and/or silver attack but weren't for non-weapon attacks by poly'd hero.
At least two unrelated bugs are fixed: a rope golem's AT_HUGS attack
gives feedback about choking but was fully effective against monsters
which fail the can_be_strangled() test. And it was possible to hug a
long worm's tail, rendering the entire worm immobile.
The report also suggested that all artifacts be able to hit shades for
full effect, but by the time shades are encountered everyone has an
artifact so that would nullify a shade's most interesting ability.
TODO: monster against hero and monster against other monster need to
have similar changes.
Both u_on_rndspot() and losedogs() might result in having a monster
and the hero be at the same location. Have wiz_makemap() use the
same fixup for that as goto_level().
The recent attempt to have looking inside a container show shop
prices had multiple problems. Worst one was showing shop prices as
if the hero would be buying for items already owned by the hero.
Item handling inside containers on shop floor was inconsistent: if
shop was selling those items, they would include a price, but if not
selling--either already owned by hero or shopkeeper didn't care about
them--they were only marked "no charge" if hero owned the container.
This is definitely better but I won't be surprised if other obscure
issues crop up. Gold inside containers on shop floor is always owned
by the shop (credit is issued if it was owned by the hero) but is not
described as such.
Fixes#172
Casting teleport-away via ^T used different requirements for energy,
strength, and hunger than casting it via 'Z'. The strength and hunger
requirements were more stringent, the energy one more lenient. When
it rejected a cast attempt due to any of those, it used up the move,
but 'Z' didn't.
When testing my fix, I wanted an easier way than a debugger to control
how ^T interacts with wizard mode, so finally got around to a first
cut at being able to invoke it via wizard mode but not override those
energy/strength/hunger requirements. It uses the 'm' prefix to ask
for a menu. 'm^T' gives four options about how to teleport. (There
are other permutations which aren't handled.)
Also noticed while testing: ^T wouldn't attempt to cast teleport-away
if you didn't know the corresponding spellbook. 'Z' will attempt that
because it is possible to forget a book and still know its spell.
Fixes#170
Monsters never throw athames or scalpels but some fake player monsters
on the Astral Plane are given those. Since they're stackable the
quantity usually gets boosted but there's no point in having more than
one if they won't be thrown.
This could have been fixed by letting monsters throw those two items,
but I prevented the quantity from being boosted instead.
Player came across a stack of 2 gray stones in a shop and kicked one.
That one ended up with a different (in his case, lower) price once it
was separate. This behavior only applies to non-glass gems which add
a price variation derived from internal ID (obj->o_id) number. Make
splitting stacks always yield the same price per item in the new stack
as was being charged in the old stack by choosing a similar o_id. Do
it for all splits (that can vary price by ID, so just non-glass gems),
not just ones performed inside shops.
He picked up the lower priced one and dropped it back on the original
higher priced one; the combined stack took on the lower price. That
will no longer happen if they come from splitting a stack, but this
fix doesn't address merging with different prices when they start out
as separate stacks. (Unpaid items won't merge in inventory if prices
are different, but shop-owned items will merge on floor.)
Dropping an existing fragile item while levitating will usually
break it. Getting a new wished-for fragile item and dropping it
because of fumbling or overfull inventory never would.
Some callers of hold_another_object() held on to its return value,
others discarded that. That return value was unsafe if the item
was dropped and fell down a hole (or broke [after this change]).
Return Null if we can't be sure of the value, and make sure all
callers are prepared to deal with Null.
Another one from 6.5 years ago, identifying a type of gem should give
a new price for any unpaid gems of that type and adjust shopping bill
accordingly. Report was for rubbing with touchstone and learning
worthless glass with price not changing until the learned 'gem' was
dropped. Fix works for that and also other forms of identification
(and for amnesia, raising prices of forgotten gems); no dropping is
required for the price to change.
Theoretically could apply to any type of item, but prices of gems are
by far the most sensitive to whether or not they're identified.
I don't know why we have two different functions which do exactly
the same thing (checking whether an item is unpaid or is a container
that holds at least one unpaid item), but switch the #H2504 fix to
use 'the other one' and reverse one of the changes made when using
the inventory one.
I thought that the earlier fix for #H2504 was too easy for anything
shop related. It didn't deal sensibly with containers owned by hero
but holding unpaid shop goods.
That #H number isn't a typo. This finally fixes--at least improves--
something reported eight years ago. The monster types chosen by
mkclass() could be way off in some circumstances. Cited example was
repeated same-race sacrifice by chaotic hero on dungeon level 20; it
produced about twice as many incubi as succubi even though they're
the same as far as difficulty goes. (No changes in the intervening
years had any discernable effect; that was still reproducible.)
The report also mentioned that ndemon() threw away the result from
mkclass() and retried quite often and suggested that mkclass() be
taught to filter by alignment when caller cared about that.
This seems to even things out, although it also made harder monsters
chosen more often. A test program generated these numbers when
picking a chaotic demon 10000 times (level 1 hero on dungeon level 20,
so not realistic; actually probably level 0 hero since the program
didn't initialize struct u.) Third column is the number of times the
monster type was chosen with the old mkclass(), fourth is same for
the new one.
mkclass() calls 27315 10000
286 succubus 2800 3309
288 incubus 5552 3262
291 marilith 973 780

296 nalfeshnee 0 23
297 pit fiend 0 15
298 sandestin 0 4
299 balrog 0 10
Note that vrock has generation frequency 2 and marilith only 1, so
getting twice as many vrocks as mariliths should be expected.
I temporarily changed ndemon() to ask for lawful demons instead of
chaotic ones and got this.
mkclass() calls 15762 10000
287 horned devil 3197 3375
289 erinys 4991 3339
290 barbed devil 1812 3286
I also ran it for dragons with any alignment (so the outcome was
never thrown away; 10000 calls were needed for 10000 picks) instead
of demons of specific alignment and am suspicious of the outcome.
mkclass() calls 10000 10000
140 baby yellow dragon 1124 0
141 gray dragon 1096 1096
142 silver dragon 1073 1099

There may be a flaw in the test program. Or else old mkclass() was
not very good at picking dragons.
Jumping or teleporting while levitating in xorn form wouldn't toggle
blocking of levitation when moving from open spots to wall/stone and
unblocking of same when moving the opposite way.
This handles those cases but there are no doubt others. The only
other one I checked was when failed #untrap moves hero onto trap.
That case works correctly--at least after this fix is in place.
Noticed while working on it: change of terrain didn't always update
the status line. When levitation became blocked, it still said Lev
and when unblocked, didn't say that. Next status update got status
condition back in sync.
hmon() can destroy the weapon being used, and known_hitum() would
still pass the pointer to the freed object to cutworm(). Remember the
relevant weapon attribute before using and maybe freeing the object,
then pass that attribute instead of the whole weapon. Also pass
'more-likely-to-cut' for axes in addition to blades.
thimonst() behaved similarly, although due to much different code
paths none of the objects that might get to hmon() were then passed to
cutworm(), so it wasn't vulnerable. But pass 'more-likely-to-cut'
for axes instead of for blades when thrown.
Replace recent "(light blue aura)" with
"(flickering light blue)" if there are 1..4 orcs,
"(glimmering light blue)" if 5..12, or
"(gleaming light blue)" if there are 13 or more, and move its place
in the formatted name.
_3.6.1_: Sting (weapon in hand) (glowing light blue)
_recent: Sting (weapon in hand) (light blue aura)
_now___: Sting (weapon in hand, flickering light blue)
The thresholds for intensity may need to be tweaked. The start
message has been changed from "glows" to "flickers/glimmers/gleams"
and is given when the intensity changes (up or down) as well as when
first glowing. Stop message will usually be "stops flickering" but
some form of mass kill (genocide for sure, maybe explosion, probably
not wand zap) might result in stopping directly from higher intensity.
It still "quivers" if hero is blind when there are orcs on the level,
but no name augmentation shows in inventory for that situation;
describing it as "(weapon in hand, quivering)" would be too silly.
Also, the quiver or glow intermediate message if blindness is toggled
while Sting is active only worked for make_blinded(), not for putting
on and taking off a blindfold. Now fixed. I think becoming blind due
to polymorphing into an eyeless form is still not handled, but there
are no eyeless creatures capable of wielding weapons so that can wait.
Polymorphing from eyeless to sighted is handled but moot for Sting.
Under some circumstances, when all the marauding orcs belonging to the
horde operating within the gnomish mines had been provided with their
spoils and placed appropriately, there could still be some pillaged stuff
left-over on the migrating obj chain. Orcs created by regular monster
generation elsewhere would then be susceptable to receiving that stuff
until it was used up. That part is fine, except that the orcs were then
being named as part of the same horde operating within the mines. Now
they will no longer be named as part of the Gnomish Mines horde.
Mythos: There's a good chance that these particular orcs received the
stolen goods from the Gnomish Mines horde.
decl_early_init() is called when we are starting a game. On first
start, it validates that global state is in the expected state.
When called on subsequent starts, it initializes global state to
expected state.
If hero was carrying Schroedinger's Box at end of game, disclosing
inventory converted it into an ordinary box. That interferred with
subsequent disclosure when writing DUMPLOG, which saw an empty box
if inventory had been shown or the special box with newly-determined
contents if not. I tried a couple of ways to fix it and decided
that redoing it was better in the long run.
Schroedinger's box is still flagged with box->spe = 1, but instead
of having that affect the box's weight, now there is always a cat
corpse in the box. When opened, that will already be in place for
a dead cat or be discarded for a live one, but the weight will be
standard for container+contents and when box->cknown is set it will
always be "containing 1 item" (which might turn out to be a monster).
Some temporary code fixes up old save/bones files to stay compatible.
TODO: food detection used to skip Schroedinger's Box; now it will
always find a corpse, so some fixup like the ridiculous probing code
is needed.
Use the make_foo() intrinsic set/reset routines instead of trying
to manipulate the intrinsics directly. Previous patch left Dex
down by 1 if stoning caused wounded legs to be fixed, and left
delayed killer allocated if stoning cured sliming or vice versa.
New: call to panic() in impossible() used arbitrary string as a
format so was vulnerable to percent signs in that string. (This
potentially serious problem is not limited to USE_OLDARGS.)
Old: revised message string for impossible ("save/restore might fix
this" instead of "perhaps you'd better quit") passed wrong number of
arguments to pline() when using the clumsy VA_PASSx() mechanism (was
missing arg 0 for the fixed-arg format argument).
Old: varargs config_error_add() in files.c wouldn't compile for
USE_OLDARGS. Evidently no one has been impacted by that but this
fixes it anyway. (Two problems: prototype used FDECL() when it
should have been using VDECL(), and calls to config_error_add() in
the same file would need the VA_PASSx() stuff to force presence of
all optional args. I moved it instead of adding the latter.)
Add code to run a fuzz tester, simulating (more-or-less) random
keyboard mashing. There's no option to turn it on, you need to
set iflags.debug_fuzzer on via a debugger or something along
those lines.
Add a new line for one last missing status field: gold.
Also add one for proficiency with current weapon.
Move a few lines from 'characteristics' to 'background' and a few
more from 'characteristics' to new 'basics', leaving characteristics
with the six original characteristics: Str, Con, Dec, &c.
Dungeon level wasn't included in ^X output, so it wasn't actually
giving all status fields and attempting to rely on it when turning
off 'status_updates' was leaving a gap in feedback for the player.
Add an extra line to the first section where character's name and
patron deity are reported, giving current location.
|You are in the Dungeons of Doom, on level 5.
or
|You are in the endgame, on the Elemental Plane of Fire.
The information is more explicit than the basic status field, but
you can already get similar information via #overview so it isn't
giving away extra info.
Set X resource NetHack*fancy_status: False to enable the TTY-style
status lines. Default is the fancy status.
This patch is somewhat unfinished - even though the TTY-style status
allow for status hilites, the colors don't work correctly yet.
Also changes the fancy status to use the windowport notification code.
