Fairly old pull request from copperwater: add new paranoid_confirm
setting 'trap'.
The old commit suffered from bit rot and merging needed too much
fixing up despite there not being many bands of change in the commit's
diffs. I ultimately redid it from scratch, although the two biggest
chunks of code started with copy+paste of the pull request's commit.
It operates like paranoid:pray. Setting paranoid:trap adds a new
"Really step into <trap>?" y/n prompt when attempting to move
into/onto a known trap, even if an object covers it on the map.
Setting both 'paranoid:Confirm trap' turns that into a yes/no prompt.
(Adding 'Confirm' affects other paranoid confirmations; in addition
to requiring yes<return> rather than just y to accept, it also forces
no<return> to reject.)
However, moving into a known trap that is considered to be harmless
behaves as if no trap was present. Some of the trap classification
might be out of date; several types of traps have undergone changes
since implementation of the original pull request, notably anti-magic
field. When the hero is hallucinating, all known traps are considered
harmful since the map no longer reliably describes them.
Preceding a movement command with the 'm' prefix also behaves as if
no trap was present, bypassing confirmation for that move, similar to
how paranoid:swim currently behaves. Being stunned or confused also
behaves as if no trap was present, taking priority over hallucination.
This updates the documentation.
Supersedes #259Closes#259
When calling panic() or impossible(), create the option
of opening a browser window with most of the fields
already populated. Code for MacOS and linux is included;
other ports are affected by argument change to early_init
which are done but not tested.
To enable, define CRASHREPORT in config.h and set
CRASHREPORTURL in sysconf to (for the moment at least)
http[s]://www.nethack.org/common/contactcr.html
Adds --grep-defined option to makedefs for Makefiles.
Adds "bid" (binary identifier), an MD4 of the main nethack
binary. This is ONLY for helping (in the future) contact.html
to set the "NetHack from" field automatically for our own
binaries. This can be faked, but the user can lie so nothing
lost. There's nothing magic about MD4; other ports can use
anything that prodcues a long apparently random string we can
match against.
- new option --bidshow for us to get the MD4 of a
released binary so I can add it to the website.
Only available in wizard mode and not in nethack.6.
- typo macos -> macosx in hints file
No support for packaging builds as I'm not sure what that
would look like.
Adds a javascript helper for MacOS.
Adds a lua helper for linux (and builds and installs
nhlua).
Update the documentation for
OPTIONS=status_hilite:hitpoints/criticalhp/<color&attributes>
A criticalhp rule now overrides up/down/changed rules as well as
absolute/percentage/always rules.
The 'status' section early in the Guidebook says that encumbrance is
one of "Unencumbered, Encumbered, Stressed" and so on. The second in
the list should say "Burdened" rather than "Encumbered".
Backslash doesn't need to be escaped by backslash inside a verbatim
block (presumably the first character is an exception). The doubled
backslashes in SOUNDDIR example were producing doubled backslashes in
the output.
There didn't seem to be any other instances of this.
Add support for
|OPTIONS=paranoid_confirm:+foo !bar
to enable confirmation for foo and disable it for bar while leaving
other settings intact. Drop support for
|OPTIONS=!paranoid_confirm:bar
since paranoid_confirm:-bar and paranoid_confirm:+!bar accomplish the
same thing. !paranoid_confirm still works as paranoid_confirm:none.
Update the documentation for paranoid_confirmation. It doesn't spell
out all the ins and outs but should cover enough for actual use.
The revised Guidebook.tex is untested.
add paranoid_confirmation:AutoAll
update paranoid_confirmation:pray (for paranoid_confirm:Confirm)
update paranoid_confirmation:swim (reorder, and on by default)
update menustyle:full (for paranoid_confirm:AutoAll)
Guidebook.tex is updated but not tested.
Add a new debugging option, 'montelecontrol', that allows a wizard-
mode player to choose a teleporting monster's destination. If player
picks a bad spot, confirmation will be requested. If accepted, the
spot will be used even though the consequences could be bad; that's
on the player. If rejected, the destination will be assigned as if
no control had been attempted rather than try again.
The fuzzer isn't allowed to override a bad spot if it tries to pick
one. That would probably trigger a sanity_check warning; the fuzzer
causes impossible warnings to behave as if panic, so accepting a bad
spot would just be fuzzer suicide. It is allowed to randomly set the
option and maybe--though extremely unlikely--randomly pick a valid
controlled destination.
Require the 'm' prefix to treat #overview as a menu with selectable
entries. During end-of-game disclosure it shows every level that was
visited, but during play it only shows levels which have annotations
(typically automatically generated ones). The menu wasn't offering
any chance to add an annotation to levels without such, so force
'm #overview' to show every visited level. Continue to avoid that
(and also avoid the clutter introduced by menu entry selector letters)
for normal #overview.
Report was that recent Guidebook.txt contained a couple of instances
of spurious "(rq". In Guidebook.mn, "\\%USERPROFILE%\\NetHack\\(rq"
needed three backslashes near the end, the first two to insert one
into the output and the third for intended "\(rq" directive. It also
shouldn't have leading backslashes; expansion of %USERPROFILE% doesn't
need that. "\%" would work but isn't necessary.
Also, prevent "%USERPROFILE\NetHack\" from being hyphenated, plus a
minor change in wording so that it won't be in position to warrant
that.
Using the 'm' prefix with #tip was putting up a menu to pick between
one or more floor containers and 'choose from invent', but that
interfered with choosing Tip as a context-sensitive item-action for
carried container. Change 'm' to behave like it does with #eat and
\#quaff and several other commands: skip possible candidates on the
floor and go directly to picking something from inventory.
That prevents using 'm' to force a menu of
|a - <floor container>
|i - pick a container being carried
for any menustyle when there is one floor container. For menustyles
other than traditional, I think that's inconsequential; player needs
to answer 'n' for floor container and then get the choose-from-invent
prompt instead of 'i' and then choose. When there are two or more
containers on hero's spot, 'm' prefix isn't needed to get that menu.
Unfortuately using 'm' to override menustyle:Traditional is still a
thing players might want to do. Keep the prior behavior for that
style when multiple containers are present (dotip() already skipped
that menu despite 'm' when there was just one container). Use the
new behavior (skip floor containers) when one (or none) is present.
That's inconsistent but seems more useful than alternatives. It is
relatively unlikely that anyone who uses traditional non-menu item
selection will also use newfangled inventory item-actions so the menu
isn't likely to interfere with the latter. Update the Guidebook to
describe how Traditional differs just in case.
Adds a more general way to handle gameplay tips, and adds
a boolean option "tips", which can be used to disable all
tips. Adds a helpful longer message when the game goes
into the "farlook" mode.
Also adds a lua binding to easily show multi-line text
in a menu window.
Breaks save compat.
Comparable to #vanquished, be able to view info normally available
during end of game disclosure while the game is still in progress.
The new #genocided command lists all genocided and extincted types
of monsters. Unlike #vanquished, there aren't any sorting choices.
Potential future enhancement: provide a way to view the genocided
list at the "what do you want to genocide?" prompt.
* doc/Guidebook.mn: Remove workaround, in favor of...
* doc/tmac.n: ...setting automatic hyphenation mode appropriate to
hyphenation systems used by AT&T-descended troffs on the one hand
("suftab") and groff (TeX hyphenation patterns) on the other.
modify results of pull request #977 to target tmac.nh instead.
Guidebook update to trigger the process following pull request 977.
sounds can be set in the config file or on the fly with the Options menu.
This also adds a mechanism for specifying a terminology preference
for a boolean option in the options menu.
The choices are: Term_False, Term_Off, Term_Disabled
Term_False, the default, will use the terms "false" and "true" in the
Options menu.
Term_Off will use the terms "off" and "on" in the Options menu.
Term_Disabled will use the terms "disabled" and "enabled" in the Options
menu.
I didn't review any of the existing options to see if one of the new
alternative terms might be a better fit. They were all left at the default.
Catch the LaTex Guidebook up with the nroff one for the role, race,
gender, and alignment options.
For both formats, comment out the decription of 'altmeta' on Amiga.
Instead of using a compile-time macro to suppress inclusion of the
menu entry to show UNIX command-line usage in the help menu, use a
sysconf setting instead.
Default is HIDEUSAGE=0, to include the entry for command-line usage.
Set HIDEUSAGE=1 to exclude that. Does not affect 'nethack --usage'
if player actually has access to the command-line.
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.
The #showgold command now does mention known contained gold in your
inventory, so the various lines in the Guidebook which explicitly state
that it doesn't needed to be updated. Wish I had noticed this in time
to put it into the previous Guidebook patch I submitted, but what can
you do.
