... on the floor, in monster inventory, and in hero's inventory.
Items in your inventory being ignited produce a message even if you're
blind - you can see the lit-state by viewing inventory anyway, so just
give player the message.
(via xNetHack)
Trigger a land mine while being polymorphed into a monster that
automatically hides (eg. scorpion). Have the statue on the land mine
shatter and all items on that square scatter away. Avoid falling
into the pit left by the land mine.
Scatter did not consider the ball or chain, and moved them around, causing
ball and chain sanity error.
One way to trigger was being punished, with chain on a land mine and having
a monster trigger the mine. Now the chain will shatter, unpunishing the hero.
Fixes#161
Report states that scattering objects might leave a 'pile' glyph when
no longer appropriate. I didn't try to reproduce that, just took it
on faith. The fix tried to be too efficient and might have missed
fixing the display if breaks() or ohitmon() destroyed the objects
being scattered and left 'total' at 0.
Fixes#134
An invisible hero (who can't see invisible and doesn't have autopickup
enabled) going down stairs to an object which fell down those stairs
will see the stairs instead of the object on them. Missing newsym()
in obj_delivery() when objects aren't being passed through scatter().
The fix to prevent "crushed by a gas spore's explosion" set killer.name
to an empty string after a gas spore explosion finished, but that made
nested explosions end up with empty killer.name after the innermost
call completed. explode() shouldn't have been hanging on to a pointer
to a global value that is subject to change while it executes. Making
a local copy of the current value at the time explode() is called will
solve that (I hope...).
Simply reverting the reset of killer.name wouldn't have been correct.
The innermost explosion would still be clobbering killer.name for any
outer MON_EXPLODE explosions in progress. When the only exploding
monster is gas spore, that wouldn't be noticeable. But having other
types of exploding monsters and a chain reaction which affected more
than one type would have exposed that bug. I think this fixes both
aspects of this problem but don't have a second type of exploding
monster to verify the second part.
When a monster killed a paper golem with a fire attack, the player was
told that the golem "burns completely" yet it might still leave some
blank scrolls as 'corpse'. The fix for that was one-line, but several
other death-by-fire situations which didn't report "burns completely"
were also leaving scrolls: fireball spell or scroll of fire or other
fire explosions (if any), also wand of fire. Fire trap and poly'd
hero with fire attack were already suppressing 'corpse'.
Fix a FIXME (poly'd hero hit by explosion while holding a monster
which is also hit by that explosion takes double damage even if the
held monster got killed) and an incorrect comment.
Add a FIXME about grabbers (monster or hero) who are outside the
explosion radius but holding someone who is inside.
Report asked why u.ustuck takes double explosion damage, and concocting
a reason uncovered several inconsistencies. Grabber takes double damage
for reaching into hero's spot, but only when that spot is within the
explosion's radius and only if hero isn't engulfed. Poly'd hero takes
double damage if holding a monster which is hit by the explosion.
There are still multiple bugs here: if the hero is grabbing a monster
which gets killed by the explosion, the fact that one was held is
forgotten by the time damage is inflicted upon the hero. Just a messy
detail that I opted not to get bogged down in. But much messier is
that grabber might be outside the explosion radius reaching into that
to hold grabbee, in which case no damage is inflicted. Handling that
for out-of-range monster holding exploded hero shouldn't be very tough,
but handling it for out-of-range hero holding exploded monster could be
hard. Anyway, it's more headache than I intend to tackle.
thitu() is mostly used for arrows and darts "thrown" by traps, but
scatter() uses it on items launched by a land mine explosion. Traps
had no need for potion handling, but scattering does. Changing thitu()
to call potionhit() required that more information be passed to the
latter in case killer reason was needed, and thitu()'s callers needed
to be updated since it now might use up its missile (only when that's
a potion, so scatter() is only caller which actually needed to care).
Quite a bit of work--especially the testing--for something which will
never be noticed in actual play. In hindsight, it would have been
much simpler just to make scatter destroy all potions rather than
allow the 1% chance of remaining intact (via obj_resists()), or else
leave any intact ones at the explosion spot instead of launching them.
From the newsgroup, remarking on an usual cause of death seen at NAO.
Surviving a gas spore's explosion (via hit points, not from life-saving)
left "gas spore's explosion" as stale killer.name. Being killed by
opening a drawbridge (but not by closing or breaking one) only assigned
killer.name if it didn't already have a value, so the stale reason got
used: crushed to death by a gas spore's explosion.
This fixes it two ways: clear the stale value after surviving the
explosion, and assign a specific reason when opening the drawbridge.
This also removes stale reason for death set up by various drawbridge
activity. For the usual case, the hero only survives by life-saving
which does its own clearing of killer.name. But there might have been
cases where it was being set for the hero when operating on a monster,
so no life-saving involved. The drawbridge code is not the easiest
code to navigate....
Update a comment prompted by '#H5459 - explosions and steeds'.
Also a couple of formatting changes.
This doesn't attempt to address the reported issue: hero's and
steed's resistances are intermingled when exploding at the hero's
coordinates and influence the effect on both. Inherited from the
behavior for an engulfed hero, and might not necessarily be a bug.
setmangry() and wakeup() were being used for multiple purposes. Add an
extra parameter to track which. This fixes several minor bugs (e.g.
whether monsters with no eyes were angered by (useless) gaze attacks
against them previously depended on the state of a UI option, and
the Minetown guards would be annoyed if you used a cursed scroll of
tame monster on a shopkeeper). It's also a prerequisite for the
Elbereth changes I'm working on.
Implement the suggestion that a monster killing itself with acid
to avoid turning to stone or with fire to avoid turning into green
slime not break pacifist conduct even if the player caused the
"turning into" situation that triggered the accidental suicide.
Along the way I discovered a serious bug: zhitm() applies damage
to target monster but leaves it to caller to finish killing off
that monster when damage is fatal, but muse_unslime() called it
without checking whether the monster should die. For fire breath
that shouldn't matter since all fire breathers are immune to fire
damage, but when support for wands of fire and fire horns was
added later it just cloned the fire breath code and neglected to
check for fatal damage. The result was that a monster with 0 HP
would be left on the map, then impossible "dmonsfree: 1 removed
doesn't match 0 pending" would be given when taking it off fmon
list, but a stale monster symbol (presumably level.monsters[][]
pointer too) was left on the map which eventually led to monsndx
panic or arbitrary crash.
Reported directly to devteam (for 3.4.3 but still present in 3.6.0):
an unseen landmine explosion which caused scatter() to break a
boulder or statue would give feedback as if the hero could see the
boulder or statue being destroyed.
Also, a couple of landmine explosion messages didn't take deafness
into account.
Explosion caused by an unseen gas spore resulted in messages about
"explosion" instead of "gas spore's explosion", which is intended, but
followed that with a death reason of "killed by a died" which isn't.
Relatively small number of continuation fixes needed for this subset.
Quite a bit of mangling to engrave.c unrelated to continuation lines,
with three or four coding changes.
Also clean up come ternaries while I'm here.
My first attempt to fix was to add AD_SLEE to explode(), but that failed
because do_break_wand() already does the sleeping portion. I don't
generally like the duplication between explode() and do_break_wand as a
result, but I consider that issue a project for another day.
I'll push a formatting guide at some point. There may still be
outstanding changes, but please feel free to resolve those as you arrive
a them.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no changes to the actual code
content, but the formatter does have the occasional bug. If you run into
an issue, please fix it!
From a bug report, dropping a lit
(burning) potion of oil while levitating can produce an explosion which can
destroy inventory. If in the process of dropping multiple items, the ones
after the oil might be gone, resulting in use of stale pointers and possibly
triggering an "extract_nobj: object lost" panic or even a crash. While
testing my fix, I discovered that being killed by an exploding potion of oil
could produce an "object_is_local" panic if bones are saved (and reproduced
with unmodified 3.4.3).
From a bug report, black dragon breath
destroys closed doors didn't acknowledge hitting secret doors. bhit()
reveals secret doors, but zap_over_floor() (called by buzz() for ray-type
wands and spells, and for breath attacks) didn't check for hitting those.
When testing the fix, I noticed that feedback for an explosion caused
by breaking a wand was worded oddly for zaps like magic missile which don't
damage doors. "The door absorbs your bolt" didn't make much sense; what
bolt? That was first changed to "absords your blast", which still sounded
weird, then to "absorbs the blast", which seemed better but was inaccurate.
Next was "absorbs some of the blast" since the explosion continues to hit
adjacent spots, but since it still has full strength that wasn't accurate
either. It's finally become "The door remains intact." Unlike with zaps,
there is no additional range being lost, so no reference to absorption.
From the newsgroup:
As you read the scroll, it disappears.
The scroll erupts in a tower of flame!
Your spellbook of force bolt catches fire and burns!
[...]
Your potion of paralysis boils and explodes!
Something seems to be holding you.
Do you want your possessions idenified?
This character survived the burning and boiling objects then succumbed
to the initial flame explosion.
A fatal explosion calls done() without any explanation. Or rather,
it dated to the time where it would immediately follow "the scroll erupts
in flame" (or "you are caught in <some kind of> explosion") without the
chance for intervening messages. Then when item destruction was moved
sooner (for bones file purposes), message sequencing was left dangling.
This patch adds a new "it was fatal" message in front of done().
For an explosion caused by the player while the hero is engulfed,
skip adjacent monsters. Also, don't give "you hear a blast" when an
unseen explosion is caused by a scroll of fire (explosion is always unseen
when hero is engulfed, regardless of explosion's cause). [Offhand I'm
not sure whether something other than the player can trigger an explosion
while the hero is engulfed.] Lastly, round up instead of down when a
monster takes half damage, so that non-zero can't be reduced to zero.
Like their use of lizard corpses to defeat being turned into stone,
let monsters use wands of fire, fire horns, and scrolls of fire to try to
defeat being turned into slime. If the scroll is read while confused, it
won't succeed. Otherwise, monsters who don't resist fire will take some
damage in the process and might end up killing themselves (although with
the testing I've gone I've yet to see that happen--I guess that means
that handling for dying-in-the-process hasn't been adequately tested...).
So far, they don't know how to jump onto adjacent fire traps, nor
will fire breathing monsters breath at themselves. I don't know whether
I'll get around to tackling either of those.

passes wand type to explode() as a negative value for the case
where the wand type isn't mapped to an AD_* explosion type.
Then explode() converts it to a positive and passes it to zap_over_floor().
From a bug report: when hallucinating,
messages for affected monsters and/or hero referred to "the gas spore's
explosion" instead of supplying random monster names. This is a little bit
tricky; since it can be displayed multiple times for one explosion, it needs
to be constructed on the fly in explode(). (Caller couldn't have handled
this anyway since it's using the value for killed-by reason which mustn't
be distorted by hallucination.)
