You can attempt to smell a monster at particular coordinates even if you
can't see it. Revert the message for the 'can't find a monster there to
smell' case to "That is not a monster", as it was before, since the
change makes it so that you only reach that line if there genuinely is
no monster there (previously it would be reached if there was a hidden
or undetected monster on the specified spot).
I know this is inane, especially for a little-used debug-mode-only
command, but I can't get it out of my head...
The use of the actual monster data instead of the glyph as a proxy ought
to make it somewhat more consistent as well (e.g. hallucination and
'showrace' won't affect the results), though I think that'd hardly be
worth it were it not for the incredibly funny message.
yn() and company show the list of possible responses in square
brackets and the default response in parentheses:
|Do foo? [ynaq] (y)
but paranoid_querty() was using the punctuation chars backwards
|Do foo? (yes) [n]
or
|Do foo? (yes|no)
depending on the level of paranoid. Change those to be
|Do foo? [yes|n] (n)
(default gets used for <return> but unlike yn(), not for <space>)
and
|Do foo? [yes|no]
(with no default for the latter).
When running #wizkill, if hero was swallowed and you killed the
engulfer and that dropped hero onto a level teleporter, the targetting
loop for selecting the next monster to kill kept going after changing
to another level. Terminate #wizkill if killing something sends you
to a different level.
Not fixed, and an old bug, or variation of one: the cursor got
positioned at the coordinates of your spot on the prior level even
though the part of the new level where you actually arrived was
displayed.
The hack.c and trap.c bits are just reformatting.
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

Make the existing '#vanquished' command be available during regular
play, with M-V bound to it. 'm #vanquished' or 'm M-V' brings up
the sorting menu that you get when answering 'a' rather than 'y' at
the end-of-game "disclose vanquished creatures?" prompt.
The original #vanquished came from slash'em, where it was available
in normal play. When added to nethack, it was put in as wizard-mode-
only. I added the sorting capability several years ago.
The chosen sort is remembered and re-used if not reset but only for
the remainder of the current session. It probably ought of become
a run-time option so be settable in advance and across sessions but
I haven't done that.
Instead of using index() macro defined to strchr, use C99 strchr.
Instead of using rindex() macro defined to strrchr, use C99 strrchr.
If you want to try building on a platform that doesn't offer those
two functions, these are available:
define NOT_C99 /* to make some non-C99 code available */
define NEED_INDEX /* to define a macro for index() */
define NEED_RINDX /* to define a macro for rindex() */
I've implemented targetted dismount such that being knocked out of
the saddle will place the hero opposite the attacker in preference
to a random spot adjacent to the steed. If that opposite spot
isn't appropriate, the two spots next to it get tried.
In these map fragments, H is knocking mounted hero off of u. The
digits indicate priority of potential destinations.
|..... |..21.
|...2. |..u2.
|.Hu1. |.H...
|...2. |.....
If spot 1 isn't acceptable, both of spots 2 (in random order) will
be tried next. If those aren't acceptable either, it will try the
other 5 spots adjacent to the steed (the one of those with the
attacker will always be unacceptable). And as before, it none of
those work, it uses enexto() to pick a random spot as close to the
steed as feasible.
Not knockback: when dismounting due to polymorph, avoid diagonal
adjacent spots if hero's new form can't move diagonally. (The hero
can't already be in no-diagonal form because riding requires that
the rider be humanoid. I keep thinking the restriction is "can't
be polymorphed" but that isn't correct.)
Shorten the name of the recently added debug command that validates
monster difficulty values. 'wizcheckmdifficulty' was 19 characters
long, the next longest is 14 ('wiztelekinesis'). The extra width
messed up the Qt interface's extended command selection dialog when
wizard mode commands are included. It sizes the button for every
command to fit the longest name; the increase in size from 14 to 19
made the button grid become too big for the screen.
Add monsters' base difficulty level to the #wizmondiff output.
Add #wizmondiff and #wizdispmacros to 'wizhelp'.
Wizard-mode command to cast any spell without checks that would
prevent casting, and with no energy use.
Mainly to allow the fuzzer to exercise the spell code paths.
The menu for #herecmdmenu includes "look at map symbol" but if you
choose that it auto-picks the hero's location. Looking at your own
'@' isn't particularly useful so only include that menu option if
the symbol or tile being displayed isn't the normal one.
When you were busy with an occupation, such as digging with
a pickaxe, and a prompt showed up to ask you enter something,
the game just hung with infinite loop.
Remove the occupation check returning a NUL from the input
function. I didn't notice any side effects, but I would not
be surprised if something comes up ...
I didn't investigate which commit caused this, but I suspect my
rhack or parse changes.
Some discrepencies between glyph_is_cmap and glyph_to_cmap
arose after b14b830b because the change resulted in
glyph_is_cmap matching on zap beams which weren't accounted
for in the glyph_to_cmap macro. It is unlikely that
glyph_to_cmap will ever be used on such a glyph, but at least
have glyph_to_cmap return a sane value rather than drop through
to the last-resort value (currently NO_GLYPH) which is far
outside the range of the defsyms[] array indices.
Enable 'debugging' function calls, including error(), from the lua files
called by the wizard-mode #wizloadlua command. Without enabling them,
calling error() still produces an error but with a message like
"attempt to call a nil value (global 'error')" instead of the one
specified in the lua file.
I think this is the right way to do this without just enabling
everything across the board (which I assume would contradict the goals
of NHL_SANDBOX), but I will admit to being a little confused by trying
to understand exactly how the sandbox permissions work, so it's possible
this isn't the right solution.
Incidentally, I am probably misunderstanding this, but considering a lua
error still occurs when error() is called, just with a different error
message, is the function really "disabled" successfully by NHL_SANDBOX?
Make #migratemons command be unconditional. The show existing
ones part is now always present. Compile-time DEBUG_MIGRATING_MONS
controls whether the create N new migrators part is available.
Fix creating new ones from the Castle level. It knew how to find
the next level (Valley) but wouldn't send monsters there because of
its Is_botlevel() check.
- Don't show attacking a peaceful or tame monster, as
that is actually swapping places with them - so add that.
- Don't show naming a hostile monster - it's usually not
wanted, and this way when clicking a hostile monster, the
only entry is the attack, so will be executed automatically.
This makes it much more usable.
Previously the mouse clicklook mentioned every tile that matched
the character symbol, leading to overload of information and
if playing with tiles, it was mostly useless. Also the most
important bit - the tile info - was last in the text.
Now mouse clicklook only reports the exact tile information
that was clicked on.
If there are any migrating monsters, #migratemons offers a chance
to view them; display the list in arrival destination order rather
than the arbitrary migrating_mons order. Doesn't change the list's
order and doesn't apply to viewing 'c' (mons aimed at current level)
or 'n' (mons aimed at next level), just to 'o' (other, neither 'c'
nor 'n') and 'a' (all migrating mons).
A typo in the code added to #migratemons resulted in bad output when
listing a subset of migrating monsters if there were any aimed at the
next level. Didn't affect listing 'a'll because the incorrect code
wasn't reached in that situation.
My change to allow binding the mouse buttons made getpos
push the mouse commands into a command queue, so when you
were asked for a map location, clicked on it with a mouse,
you'd first get the expected effect, and then (most likely)
immediately traveled there.
Change getpos to clear the commands bound to the mouse buttons,
and restore the binds afterwards.
Instead of hardcoding mouse button actions, allow the user to
bind mouse buttons to extended commands. For example the new
defaults are:
BIND=mouse1:therecmdmenu
BIND=mouse2:clicklook
Currently a bit rudimentary; the defaults should be OK, but
documentation is bit lacking, and in-game binding and option
saving are missing.
Allowed commands to bind are "nothing", "therecmdmenu", "clicklook",
and "mouseaction". Clicklook replaces the "clicklook" boolean option,
and mouseaction does what mouse 1 button used to do - a context sensitive
action.
The #name default key was 'N', but that gets bound to #runsoutheast
when not using number_pad. Swap around the default #name key to M-n,
and bind the 'N' to it in commands_init instead.
The number_pad option wasn't getting saved because it has a separate
handler - mark the option as changed even if the value did not change
so it will be saved to the config.
Remove 'I' for remembered, unseen monster if it is successfully killed
as well as when a kill attempt reveals that there is nothing there.
When killing engulfer, don't report it to be "unseen" since hero is
able to recognized it by touch.
Preceding #options or the key bound to that with m runs 'advanced'
options. Implement the inverse: preceding #optionsfull or the key
bound to that with m now runs 'simple' options.
Update the menu for the help command to change
"i - using the 'O' command to set options"
to
"i - using the '#optionsfull' or 'm O' command to set options"
(examples assume default key bindings but the actual help menu shows
currently bound keys; the "or 'foo'" part is omitted if #optionsfull
is bound to a key).
dat/opthelp should probably be updated to describe how doset_simple
works since that is different from normal menus and explicitly
contradicts the existing description for boolean settings being
deferred until the menu gets dismissed. Any changes need to make
sense if displayed in the context of picking '?' in #optionsfull.
Maybe a separate help file and separate entry for it in '?' menu?
This replaces the old pushq/saveq arrays (which were used to save
the keys pressed by the user for repeating a previous command)
with a new command queue. This means there's no hard-coded limit
to the saved keys, and it can repeat extended commands which are
not bound to any key.
Entering a count to repeat an action stopped working for counts greater
than 2 after 93db2a8: the unconditional call to reset_cmd_vars at the
top of rhack was resetting many more variables than had previously been
cleared at that point, including g.multi (which in this context tracks
how many more times the requested action should be repeated). As a
result any count would perform the requested action twice at most.
Reduce the list of variables zeroed out at the start of rhack back to
what it was before 93db2a8.
M-<key> shortcuts with altmeta enabled weren't working when preceded by
a count (e.g. 2 M-j for "jump twice"): g.program_state.getting_a_command
determined whether <esc> should be read as staring a potential meta key
combination, and was being reset by readchar on the first digit entered
without being reactivated for subsequent input. As a result, by the
time the player entered the actual command to be modified by the count,
readchar wasn't bothering to look for M-<key> sequences.
