Four kinds of timers are defined but only two have ever been used.
Have sanity checking complain if the other two occur or if 'kind'
doesn't match any of the four.
Also, replacing a perfectly normal use of isok() with an inline test
just to pacify static analysis feels like a slippery slope, so handle
that a little differently.
I reordered the shrink_glob timer to put all object timers together.
Unfortunately that warrants incrementing EDITLEVEL which invalidates
existing save files.
Expose map-location specific timers to lua scripts. For example:
nh.start_timer_at(x,y, "melt-ice", 10);
Currently only available timer type is "melt-ice".
Expose object timers to lua scripts. For example:
local o = obj.new("cockatrice egg");
o:placeobj(5, 5);
o:start_timer("hatch-egg", 3);
Available methods are:
- obj.has_timer("rot-corpse")
returns true if object has attached timer, false otherwise.
- obj.peek_timer("hatch-egg")
returns an integer value, which is the turn when the timer
attached to the object would trigger. returns 0 if no such timer.
- obj.stop_timer("shrink-glob")
stops attached timer, or if no timer type is given, stops all
timers attached to the object.
- obj.start_timer("zombify-mon", 15)
starts a timer with a trigger time in that many turns in the future.
replaces any previous timer of the same type.
Valid timers are "rot-organic", "rot-corpse", "revive-mon",
"zombify-mon", "burn-obj", "hatch-egg", "fig-transform",
and "shrink-glob". Also "melt-ice" is recognized, but does nothing
to objects.
Globs never rotted away but did become tainted after a relatively
short while, which seemed like a contradiction. Change them to never
be tainted but shrink by 1 unit of weight approximately every 25
turns. An ordinary glob (one that hasn't combined with any others)
starts out weighing 20 units, so it takes about 500 turns to vanish.
That's roughly twice as long as a corpse takes to rot away.
Shrinking globs give feedback when in hero's invent or in a container
in hero's inventory, but rarely (when going from an exact multiple
of 20 weight units; that is, from integral number of N globs to
N-1 + 19/20, or if weight reduction triggers an encumbrance change).
When a glob goes away completely, there is feedback for those two
circumstances and also for seeing the glob vanish from the floor.
I haven't touched how much nutrition eating a glob confers. I have
changed formatting of glob names to use "small", "medium", "large",
"very large" instead of "small", [no adjective], "large", &c. You
still need to have at least five globs coalesced together for the
adjective to become "medium", same amount as before.
I don't think EDITLEVEL needs to be modified but have incremented it
anyway to play things safe.
When a zombie (or lich) kills a monster in melee without a weapon,
the monster can rise few turns later as a zombie.
The only creatures that can be zombified are ones that actually have
a zombie counterpart monster. A zombie cannot turn a jackal into
a zombie, for instance. But it could turn a shopkeeper into a human
zombie, or a dwarf king into a dwarf zombie.
Zombies will fight with monsters that can be turned into zombies.
Originally this was a SliceHack feature, but this is based on xNetHack
version of it, with some modifications.
Add the contributed code that checks for attempting to start a
duplicate timer. It's based on a comment which must have been there
at least 25 years and doesn't solve any known problems, but it is
conceptually similar to the large amount of sanity checking which has
gone into 3.6.x.
It didn't work as is because it was comparing two unions with '=='.
I don't know offhand whether C++ supports that but C doesn't (through
C11 at least; don't know about C17). The union ('anything') is simple
enough that two instances can be compared without jumping through hoops.
I've also added another check for timer 'kind' (level, object, monster,
or global).
I did my best to exempt some of the bigger aligned blocks from the reformatting
using the /* clang-format off */ and /* clang-format on */ tags. Probably some
that shouldn't have been formatted were anyway; if you encounter them, please
fix.
The clang-format tags were left in on the basis that it's much easier to prune
those out later than to put them back in, and it means that, modulo my custom
version of clang-format, I should be able to run clang-format on the source tree
again without changing anything, now that Pat has fixed the VA_DECL issues.
Remove some more code that forced pointers into a long int, and
vice versa where information could be lost (P64 platforms such as
WIN64 have a 64 bit pointer size, but a 32 bit long size.)
This 2nd part deals with timeout functions switching
some arguments from type genericptr_t to 'anything'.
Like part 1, this needs to increment EDITLEVEL in patchlevel.h.
add a new melt_ice_away timer for ice created via zapping
a wand/spell of cold.
Some follow-up adjustments to the length of time before
the ice melts may be necessary. Ideally, I'd like to
have it so that the shorter the length of time since
the ice was created, the lesser the chance that it will
melt out from under you. Likewise, the longer it has
been, the more risky it will be to venture onto it.
At the moment, however, each spot of ice is just
getting a somewhat random time always greater
than 50, which is less than ideal.
