uball->spe used to be used during restore way back in 2.3e.
There hasn't been any any point in setting it when starting
punishment and clearing it when ending punishment for decades
so get rid of that.
Nearly as ancient--but not quite--back in 3.10 patchlevel N,
obj->spe was set to -1 when the Amulet of Yendor was saved in
a bones file. That was to flag it as fake, before the cheap
plastic imitation got added as a separate object.
So obj->spe isn't "special for uball and amulet" any more.
This replaces the arcane system previously used by getobj where the
caller would pass in a "string" whose characters were object class
numbers, with the first up to four characters being special constants
that effectively acted as flags and had to be in a certain order.
Because there are many places where getobj must behave more granularly
than just object class filtering, this was supplemented by over a
hundred lines enumerating all these special cases and "ugly checks", as
well as other ugly code spread around in getobj callers that formatted
the "string".
Now, getobj callers pass in a callback which will return one of five
possible values for any given object in the player's inventory. The
logic of determining the eligibility of a given object is handled in the
caller, which greatly simplifies the code and makes it clearer to read.
Particularly since there's no real need to cram everything into one if
statement.
This is related to pull request #77 by FIQ; it's largely a
reimplementation of its callbacks system, without doing a bigger than
necessary refactor of getobj or adding the ability to select a
floor/trap/dungeon feature with getobj. Differences in implementation
are mostly minor:
- using enum constants for returns instead of magic numbers
- 5 possible return values for callbacks instead of 3, due to trying to
make it behave exactly as it did previously. PR #77 would sometimes
outright exclude objects because it lacked semantics for invalid
objects that should be selectable anyway, or give slightly different
messages.
- passing a bitmask of flags to getobj rather than booleans (easier to
add more flags later - such as FIQ's "allow floor features" flag, if
that becomes desirable)
- renaming some of getobj's variables to clearer versions
- naming all callbacks consistently with "_ok"
- generally more comments explaining things
The callbacks use the same logic from getobj_obj_exclude,
getobj_obj_exclude_too and getobj_obj_acceptable_unlisted (and in a few
cases, from special cases still within getobj). In a number of them, I
added comments suggesting possible further refinements to what is and
isn't eligible (e.g. should a bullwhip really be presented as a
candidate for readying a thrown weapon?)
This also removed ALLOW_COUNT and ALLOW_NONE, relics of the old system,
and moved ALLOW_ALL's definition into detect.c which is the only place
it's used now (unrelated to getobj). The ALLOW_ALL functionality still
exists as the GETOBJ_PROMPT flag, because its main use is to force
getobj to prompt for input even if nothing is valid.
I did not refactor ggetobj() as part of this change.
CP_TRYLIM-1 was the right value when the prompt augmentation
was at the top of the loop before the first prompt, but should
been changed to CP_TRYLIM when that got moved to the bottom of
the loop.
First prompt:
|Create what kind of monster?
Second and subsequent prompts if first attempt is unsuccessful:
|Create what kind of monster? [type name or symbol]
Prior to this fix, the shorter prompt was being used on the
first and second tries and not switching to the longer one until
the third.
Make the initial prompt for ^G be less verbose. Only expand to
the verbose form if a second or further try is needed.
Also, remove an orphan comment about is_male() and is_female().
ensure that monster female name variation ends up as a female during ^G
arbitrate when there is a conflict between gender term (male or female) and
a gender-tied monster name (cavewoman) during ^G; gender term wins
add MALE, FEMALE, and gender-neutral names for individual monster species
to the mons array. The gender-neutral name (NEUTRAL) is mandatory, the
MALE and FEMALE versions are not.
replace code uses of the mname field of permonst with one of the three
potentially-available gender-specific names.
consolidate some separate mons entries that differed only by species into a
single mons entry (caveman, cavewoman and priest,priestess etc.)
consolidate several "* lord" and "* queen/* king" monst entries into
their single species, and allow both genders on some where it makes some
sense (there is probably more work and cleanup to come out of this at some
point, and the chosen gender-neutral name variations are not cast in stone
if someone has better suggestions).
related function or macro additions:
pmname(pm, gender) to get the gender variation of the permonst name. It
guards against monsters that haven't got anything except NEUTRAL naming
and falls back to the NEUTRAL version if FEMALE and MALE versions are
missing.
Ugender to obtain the current hero gender.
Mgender(mtmp) to obtain the gender of a monster
While the code can safely refer directly to pmnames[NEUTRAL] safely in the
code because it always exists, the other two (pmnames[MALE] and
pmnames[FEMALE] may not exist so use:
pmname(ptr, gidx)
where -ptr is a permonst *
-gidx is an index into the pmnames array field of the
permonst struct
pmname() checks for a valid index and checks for null-pointers for
pmnames[MALE] and pmnames[FEMALE], and will fall back to pmnames[NEUTRAL] if
the pointer requested if the requested variation is unavailable, or if the
gidx is out-of-range.
Allow code to specify makemon flags to request female or male (via MM_MALE
and MM_FEMALE flags respectively)to makedefs, since the species alone doesn't
distinguish male/female anymore. Specifying MM_MALE or MM_FEMALE won't
override the pm M2_MALE and M2_FEMALE flags on a mons[] entry.
male and female tiles have been added to win/share/monsters.txt.
The majority are duplicated placeholders except for those that were
separate mons entries before. Perhaps someone will contribute artwork in the
future to make the male and female variations visually distinguishable.
tilemapping via has the MALE tile indexes in the glyph2tile[]
array produced at build time. If a window port has information that the
FEMALE tile is required, it just has to increment the index returned
from the glyph2tile[] array by 1.
statues already preserved gender of the monster through STATUE_FEMALE
and STATUE_MALE, so ensure that pmnames takes that into consideration.
I expect some refinement will be required after broad play-testing puts it to
the test.
consolidate caveman,cavewoman and priest,priestess monst.c entries etc
This commit will require a bump of editlevel in patchlevel.h because it alters
the index numbers of the monsters due to the consolidation of some. Those
index numbers are saved in some other structures, even though the mons[] array
itself is not part of the savefile.
Window Port Interface Change
Also add a parameter to print_glyph to convey additional information beyond
the glyph to the window ports. Every single window port was calling back to
mapglyph for the information anyway, so just included it in the interface and
produce the information right in the display core.
The mapglyph() function uses will be eliminated, although there are still some
in the code yet to be dealt with.
win32, tty, x11, Qt, msdos window ports have all had adjustments done to
utilize the new parameter instead of calling mapglyph, but some of those
window ports have not been thoroughly tested since the changes.
Interface change additional info:
print_glyph(window, x, y, glyph, bkglyph, *glyphmod)
-- Print the glyph at (x,y) on the given window. Glyphs are
integers at the interface, mapped to whatever the window-
port wants (symbol, font, color, attributes, ...there's
a 1-1 map between glyphs and distinct things on the map).
-- bkglyph is a background glyph for potential use by some
graphical or tiled environments to allow the depiction
to fall against a background consistent with the grid
around x,y. If bkglyph is NO_GLYPH, then the parameter
should be ignored (do nothing with it).
-- glyphmod provides extended information about the glyph
that window ports can use to enhance the display in
various ways.
unsigned int glyphmod[NUM_GLYPHMOD]
where:
glyphmod[GM_TTYCHAR] is the text characters associated
with the original NetHack display.
glyphmod[GM_FLAGS] are the special flags that denote
additional information that window
ports can use.
glyphmod[GM_COLOR] is the text character
color associated with the original
NetHack display.
Support for including the glyphmod info in the display glyph buffer
alongside the glyph itself was added and is the default operation.
That can be turned off by defining UNBUFFERED_GLYPHMOD at compile time.
With UNBUFFERED_GLYPHMOD operation, a call will be placed to map_glyphmod()
immediately prior to every print_glyph() call.
The change to make mail objects and monsters separate from mail
delivery (so that toggling the latter wouldn't invalidate save
and bones files) made it possible to wish for scrolls of mail,
find such in bones left by someone who did, or write such via
magic marker. That was probably unintentional but I've left it
as-is. The problem was that reading such scrolls issued a
warning: "What weird effect is this?" because reading scrolls
of mail was only allowed when interacting with MAIL was enabled.
The issue suggested replacing #if MAIL with #if MAIL_STRUCTURES
in seffects(), and then insert #if MAIL in the part of reading
that deals with 'real' (or randomly faked for micros) mail. I've
done both of those, and also added a couple of message variations
for the unreal cases.
Closes#427
Cap overall AC at -99 instead of -128. Put the same limit of 99
on enchantment and charge count of individual objects.
^X now reports if/when AC has reached its limit since players
could see that reaching that limit and then enchanting worn items
will change the worn items but not the total. (Same thing would
have happened with -128, just without any explanation and less
likely to accomplish.)
Won't affect normal play for any reasonable definition of normal.
Adopt the patch to show the writing on any alchemy smocks in
hero's inventory during end of game disclosure.
I also added one more saying among the choices for alchemy
smock/apron. It's based on a T-shirt descibed in a movie.
(I remember the description of the text but I don't remember
noticing anybody wearing the T-shirt that lead to that.)
Since so many of the smock quotes are about cooking, it seems
better to add it as an alchemy quote instead of just another
T-shirt where there'd be no context to explain it.
Closes#417
Let tourists read cornuthaum ("WIZZARD") and dunce cap ("DUNCE").
One out of three will have those words, the other two will yield
"you can't find anything to read on this ___" where ___ is either
"conical hat" or "cornuthaum" or "dunce cap" depending upon hat
type and discovery status.
Even when a dunce cap says "DUNCE" it won't become discovered,
just offer the player an opportunity to apply a name.
Other roles still fall through to the "That's a silly thing to
read" feedback.
Not intended to be logical...
Since teleporation gives a "you matrialize" message even when
arriving close by, the old behavior of not learning a scroll of
teleportation when you land quite close to your original spot
no longer made sense. Always [almost] discover teleport scroll
when reading it.
Also adds one-shot teleport control when reading a blessed scroll
of teleportation. I changed that to be prevented when hero is
stunned, same as with full-fledged teleport control.
I reworded or reformatted several of the comments. And removed
the EDITLEVEL increment in patchlevel.h; save and bones file
contents are not affected.
I've also added an unrelated comment about reading mechanics to
doread().
Closes#386
Adopt the suggestion that candy bar stacks which get split should
keep the same wrapper text for both halves of the stack. The patch
stuck with using obj->o_id to manage the wrapper which prior to the
patch wasn't a factor in merging and splitting. Switch to obj->spe
instead, comparable to tin varities, so mergability is already
taken care of.
End of game disclosure tacks on T-shirt text to formatted items.
Do the same for candy bar wrappers.
Give better feedback if reading a scroll of identify when it is the
only item in inventory (making that empty when scroll is used up).
Reading a cursed scroll of identify used to always ID 1 item besides
itself. Change it to behave like confused identify--only identifying
itself--if read when the scroll hasn't been discovered yet. Same as
before when scroll has already been discovered: identify 1 item.
Adopt the contribution to use "you can't read the words" when
trying to read a novel when blind rather than defaulting to
spellbooks' "you can't read the mystic runes." An unseen novel
is already described as "a book" instead of "a spellbook" so the
alternate feedback doesn't give away any information.
When everything is identified and you read a scroll of identify, you
get
|You have already identified all of your possessions.
That's unchanged. Same situation, except learning scroll of identify
at the time and you've just been told "this is a scroll of identify":
old |You have already identified all the rest of your possessions.
new |You have already identified the rest of your possessions.
Allow crystal ball to search for furniture (stairs and ladders,
altar, throne, sink, fountain) as well as for a class or objects
or of monsters or all traps. Giving any of '<','>','_','\','#',
or '{' will find all of those rather than just the individual type
specified. Because of the default character conflict, '_' can no
longer be used to find chains; looking for altars is more useful.
The chance of getting the cursed effect due to failing a saving
throw against intelligence when the ball isn't actually cursed has
been reduced. If it is the hero's own quest artifact, it will
happen if rnd(8) is greater than Int, so Int of 8 or more will
never yield that effect. Otherwise if it is blessed, rnd(16) is
used so 16 or better Int means it can't act like it is cursed.
When uncursed and not hero's quest artifact, the old rnd(20) > Int
test is still used.
Crystal balls now start with 3..7 charges rather than 1..5, and
blessed charging sets the amount to 7 charges rather than 6 and
also blesses the ball. Recharing with uncursed scroll of charging
is slightly better (adds 1..2 charges instead of always just 1,
caps the amount at 7 rather than 5) and uncurses the ball. Cursed
scroll strips off all charges even if the ball is blessed and also
curses the ball so is harsher than before.
Crystal balls now cancel to -1 instead of 0, like wands, and using
one effect will destroy it, like zapping cancelled wands.
Also a minor tweak to the initial charges for can of grease (5..25
instead of 1..25) and horn of plenty and bag of tricks (both now
3..20 instead of 1..20).
The scroll of remove curse is trivially identified by checking inventory
after reading it to see whether anything became uncursed. This leads to
annoying tactics like remembering which scroll you just read so you can
go call it "remove curse" on the discoveries list.
This simply autoidentifies it when an item that was known to be cursed
has its curse removed.
Tame cancelled lights are actually quite interesting and useful: they
are a mobile light source that will follow you around, and because they
are cancelled they won't explode at hostile monsters.
This replaces the existing confused scroll effect of creating an area of
darkness (the cursed scroll of light still produces this effect). If you
are confused *and* the scroll is cursed, it summons black lights instead
of yellow ones.
Original change by copperwater <aosdict@gmail.com>, added with
formatting and some functional changes.
Instead of forgetting maps and objects, make amnesia forget skills.
Forgetting maps and objects could be circumvented with taking notes,
or by using an external tool to remember the forgotten levels.
Forgetting skills allows the player to optionally go down another
skill path, if they trained the wrong weapon in the early game.
Amnesia still forgets spells.
As a replacement for the deja vu messages when entering a forgotten
level, those messages will now indicate a ghost with your own name
existing on the level, given only when the level is entered for
the first time.
These changes based on fiqhack, with some adjustments.
Relax the count limit from 255 to ROWNO*(COLNO-1) so that it can
be big enough to fill an entire level yet remain small enough to
not churn away seemingly forever if an absurd amount is specified
for 'random' or for a class rather than a type. (By-type already
gives up as soon as failure occurs, so is implicitly limited to a
count matching the available space on the level.) Also impose the
same limit on 'count ^G monster' as '^G count monster'.
Eliminate the cache that was supporting rndmonst() and pick a random
monster in a single pass through mons[] via "weighted reservoir
sampling", a term I'm not familiar with.
It had a couple of bugs: if the first monster examined happened to
be given a weighting of 0, rn2() would divide by 0. I didn't try
to figure out how to trigger that. But the second one was easy to
trigger: if all eligible monsters were extinct or genocided, it
would issue a warning even though the situation isn't impossible.
Aside from fixing those, the rest is mostly as-is. I included a bit
of formatting in decl.c, moved some declarations to not require C99,
and changed a couple of macros to not hide and duplicate a call to
level_difficulty().
Fixes#286
This adds a pair of new glyphs: GLYPH_UNEXPLORED and GLYPH_NOTHING
GLYPH_UNEXPLORED is meant to be the glyph for areas of the map that
haven't been explored yet.
GLYPH_NOTHING is a glyph that represents that which cannot be seen,
for instance the dark part of a room when the dark_room option is
not set. Since the symbol for stone can now be overridden to
a players choice, it no longer made sense using S_stone for the
dark areas of the room with dark_room off. This allows the same
intended result even if S_stone symbol is mapped to something visible.
GLYPH_UNEXPLORED is what areas of the map get initialized to now
instead of STONE.
This adds a pair of new symbols: S_unexplored and S_nothing.
S_nothing is meant to be left as an unseen character (space) in
order to achieve the intended effect on the display.
S_unexplored is the symbol that is mapped to GLYPH_UNEXPLORED, and
is a distinct symbol from S_stone, even if they are set to the same
character. They don't have to be set to the same character.
Hopefully there are minimal bugs, but it is a deviation from a
fairly long-standing approach so there could be some unintended
glitches that will need repair.
The #wizgenesis command can also accept a quantity in the input prompt,
previously it only accepted a command repeat prefix.
(via UnNetHack, originally from NetHack4)
A check for bad restoration (ball without chain or vice versa) issued
a warning but then left the problem around to trip up other code.
'Fix' the problem by clearing those owornmask slots and their pointers.
Doesn't try to recover memory if the one that's found is OBJ_FREE.
Also some formatting.
Fix a couple of glitches and add an enchancement. The monster
attributes structure left the 'hidden' field uninitialized unless user
specified "hidden". Mimics were being flagged with mon->mundetected
because they pass the is_hider() test but they 'hide' by taking on an
appearance rather than being unseen due to mundetected. hides_under()
monsters fail the is_hider() test, but can become mundetected if there
is at least one object present. Eels/other fish are neither is_hider()
nor hides_under() but can be mundetected at water locations. So alter
'hidden' handling to deal with these various circumstances.
Asking for 'hidden' for any type of creature will result in having its
location be highlighted if it can't be actively seen or detected. So
using '2000 ^G piranha' will fill up the Plane of Water "normally" but
'2000 ^G hidden piranha' will result in a ton of draw-glyph/delay/
draw-other-glyph/delay sequences and take a painfully long time. Moral
of the story: don't combine 'hidden' with a large count unless you
want to spend quite a while watching the level's fill pattern. Turning
off the 'sparkle' option will cut the flashing in half but still take
a long time. If you really need to fill a level with hidden creatures
and can't bear the flashing/highlighting, use blessed potion of monster
detection or #wizintrinsics to have extended detect. Then all created
monsters will be seen so none will trigger location highlighting.
If you create a 'stalker' or 'invisible stalker' or 'invisible <other-
mon>' its location won't be highlighted, but for 'hidden stalker' or
'hidden invisible stalker' or 'hidden invisible <other-mon>' it will
(provided you don't actually see it due to See_invisible or sensemon()).
Hero polymorphed into a vampire or v.lord can use #monster to switch
to vampire bat or fog cloud [or wolf for lord] but it was a one shot
polymorph. Remember when current form is a shape-shifted vampire and
allow #monster in shifted form to pick another shifted form or the
vampire form.
Genocide of the alternate shape forces back to base vampire. Genocide
of base vampire does too, then reverts to human (or dwarf, &c) as
vampires go away. Being killed while shafe-shifted reverts all the
way to human rather than to vampire. [Just realized: interaction
with Unchanging wasn't taken into consideration so hasn't been tested.]
Since 'youmonst' isn't saved and restored, I had to add a field to 'u'
to hold youmonst.cham during save/restore.
Tested with 3.6.2+ and seemed to be working (except saving while
shape-shifted restored as ordinary bat/cloud/wolf because new u.mcham
wasn't there to hold youmonst.cham yet). Builds with 3.7.0- but not
execution tested yet (I didn't want to clobber my current playground).
Noticed when testing the set_bknown patch earlier: something updated
the persistent inventory window while scroll processing was in the
midst of traversing invent and it showed the scroll I'd just read
change from known blessed to bless/curse state not known. The scroll
should really be removed from inventory because player is told that it
has disappeared, but unlike charging (which does do that so that it is
gone when selecting an item to charge), remove curse isn't auto-IDed
and the code to ask the player to call an unIDed item something only
kicks in when it's still in inventory. Preventing the scroll in use
from having its bknown flag cleared should be good enough; it won't
have disappeared yet but at least it won't be visibly changing.
