Have makedefs do through a common point when exiting, in case it ever
needs extra memory or scratch file cleanup.
While testing, I discovered that the reference use of 'makedefs -o' to
build obsolete onames.h didn't work anymore because of the change to
not require object probabilities to add up to 1000 within classes.
I think fixing that is the only change besides new 'makedefs_exit()'.
The nomakedefs struct starts out with static values, then if/when
populate_nomakedefs() is called, the fields are given dynamic values.
free_nomakedefs() needs to know what state it's in.
A big chunk of this if just formatting for indentation.
I've seen complaints how looting containers is tedious, and
since multiple containers in the same location are now (and have
been for a while) handled with a menu, the yes-no-quit prompt
for a single container doesn't really mean anything.
Remove that prompt, and remove the "open carefully" message too,
so when you're looting a location with a single container, the
command will drop straight into the loot-in-out -menu. Also
adjust one looting message to explicitly mention the container
if there are other objects on top of it.
Removing the prompt means you can't loot a saddle from a tame
monster with plain loot when standing on a container - you need
to prefix the loot command with 'm' prefix in that case.
Reordering "killed for the first time" and "hit with a wielded weapon
for the first time" was done by moving the latter to hmon(). Hitting
with an applied polearm also gave the first-hit message since it
bypassed the routine that had been doing so. But the throwing code
that handles applied polearms calls hmon() for damage, so after that
reordering, the first-hit log message became duplicated if triggered
by polearm usage.
Also, fix a quibble with the wizard mode conduct message given after
never-hit-with-wielded-weapon conduct has been broken. The message
said "used a wielded weapon N times" when it meant "hit with a wielded
weapon N times". "Used" is misleading if that wielded weapon happens
to be a pick-axe, so change the message to say "hit with".
Move a bunch of stuff out of main() into new early_options(): '-dpath'
playground directory handling, '-s ...' show scores instead of playing,
and the 'argcheck()' options: --version, --showpaths, --dumpenums,
and --debug (not to be confused with -D). Also introduce
| --nethackrc=filename
| --no-nethackrc
to control RC file without using NETHACKOPTIONS so that that is still
available for setting other options. They can start with either one
or two dashes. --no-nethackrc is just --nethackrc=/dev/null under the
hood. '-dpath' can now be '--directory=path' or '--directory path'
but the old syntax should still work. '-s ...' can be '--scores ...'.
Basic call sequence in unixmain relating to options is now
|main() {
| early_options(argc, argv[]);
| initoptions(); /* process sysconf, .nethackrc, NETHACKOPTIONS */
| process_options(possibly_modified_argc, possibly_modified_argv[]);
|}
Options processed by early_options() that don't terminate the program
are moved to the end of argv[], with argc reduced accordingly. Then
process_options() only sees the ones that early_options() declines to
handle.
Most early options were using plain exit() instead of nh_terminate()
so not performing any nethack-specific cleanup. However, since they
run before the game starts, there wasn't much cleanup being overlooked.
chdirx() takes a boolean as second argument but all its callers were
passing int (with value of 1 or 0, so it still worked after being
implicitly fixed by prototype). Change them to pass TRUE or FALSE.
argcheck() was refusing (argc,argv[]) with count of 1 but then it was
checking 0..N-1 rather than 1..N-1, so it tested whether argv[0] was
an argument instead of skipping that as the program name. Change to
allow count of 1 with modified argv that has an option name in argv[0].
That happens to fit well with how early_options() wanted to use it.
From EvilHack, under the basis that anyone trained in martial arts (or
is in a powerful kicking polyform or wearing kicking boots) should be
immune from landing such a poor kick. This bypass used to happen only
50% of the time; now it happens all the time.
Note that this only averts the "Your clumsy kick does no damage" case:
it remains possible for a powerfully kicking player to kick clumsily and
have the monster evade or block, for example if they are fumbling or
wearing bulky armor.
Also, documentation: I added a comment explaining what the incredibly
dense and confusing logic is with i and j happening here, for the next
poor soul that has to read that code.
When you have a polearm as secondary weapon, have a fireassist on,
and press 'f' to fire, the code tries to swapweapon to the polearm.
This failed badly and got stuck in a loop if you were also wearing
a shield - as polearms are two-handed and shield prevents wielding
those.
Add a new "command failed" result, and clear the command queue
in that case. Also make swapweapon and wield actually return
the ECMD flags back to the rhack loop.
When hallucinating, use nonsensical names for the rays
(wands, spells, and breath weapons), and random ray glyphs.

I've implemented 'nethack -nethackrc=filename' as an alternative to
'NETHACKOPTIONS='@filename' nethack' but at the moment it doesn't
work because the command line parsing comes after the run-time config
file has already been processed. But this part should work, or maybe
have problems spotted and fixed if it doesn't. The RC file part of
initoptions_finish() has been rewritten so that it won't need extra
replication of
| set_error_handling()
| process_file()
| reset_error_handling()
| if (NETHACKOPTIONS) {
| set_error_handling()
| process_options()
| reset_error_handling()
| }
I've tried to test all the combinations mentioned in the comment but
am not sure that I covered everything, particulary for repeating
earlier tests after making incremental changes.
The checking for command line flags --version, --showpath, and one
or two others was inside #if CHDIR. I don't know whether anyone
ever disables that configuration option, but it shouldn't control
whether those flags are handled.
For nethack.6, include the recently added 'optmenu' help file among
the list of files.
I didn't do anything about '-windowtype=xyzzy' though; there are some
other command line changes in the pipeline. The existing '-w' that
the new longer form enhances isn't in there either.
I took my name out for the claim of copyright. I've barely ever
touched this file. We see if that breaks the automated processing.
