When a hero dies due to turning into green slime, actually polymorph
him into a green slime monster before killing him off. That way he'll
show as a green 'P' on the map instead of white '@' during final
disclosure. Also, armor that gets destroyed by polymorphing into that
form will be absent from resulting bones file.
Report suggested that if hero is turning into green slime, genociding
green slime should cure it. I went another direction: if life-saved
while dying due to turning into green slime, you survive polymorphed
into green slime form. If green slimes have been genocided (probably
after becoming infected with slime or hero wouldn't have faced any
slimes to cause infection, but that could be from eating a glob of
green slime created prior to genocide, or from #wizintrinsic), you'll
immediately die again, this time from genocide.
Use the make_foo() intrinsic set/reset routines instead of trying
to manipulate the intrinsics directly. Previous patch left Dex
down by 1 if stoning caused wounded legs to be fixed, and left
delayed killer allocated if stoning cured sliming or vice versa.
I tried 'pick all' in the #wizintrinsics' menu and after 30 turns,
died with "poisoned by a poisoned, while vomiting". Food poisioning
and/or terminal illness beat the other fatal conditions to the coup
de gras. However, the final stage of vomiting sets Sick to 0 cure
food poisoning and ends up clobbering the killer reason if Sick is
due to terminal illness. It's feasible for that to happen without
using #wizintrinsic, so this fixes that, and also a few other
combinations that seemed contradictory:
1) limbs turn to stone during Stoned countdown now cures wounded legs;
2) turn to stone (a couple of turns later) cures vomiting and sliming;
3) turning to slime during Slimed countdown cures stoning.
When #wizinstrinsic was expanded to be able to set any timed attribute,
some that need more than just a timeout counter were left inconsistent.
1) Timed Flying wasn't blocked by levitation, and existing flight
wasn't becoming blocked by timed levitation. Also, eventual flight
timeout wasn't updating the status line, so false 'Fly' condition
remained shown until a status update happened for some other reason.
2) Setting timer for Warn_of_mon didn't set up any type of monster to
warn about so wouldn't do anything. This sets that to grid bug
unless already set due to polymorph form or artifact that warns.
The end.c portion is just a bit of formatting.
Reported internally, if a prayer resulted in 'fix all troubles' and
one of those was TROUBLE_STUCK_IN_WALL but safe_teleds() couldn't find
any place to relocate the hero to, nothing was done and STUCK_IN_WALL
would be found again as the next trouble to fix. Since safe_teleds()
eventually resorts to trying every single spot on the map, there was
no other result possible than failing to find an available spot again,
nothing would be done, and next trouble would be STUCK_IN_WALL, ad
naseum.
I started out with a fix that looked for secret corridors to expose
and doors to open, to make more space available, then try to move a
monster off the level, then try digging out rock and/or walls and
smashing boulders. None of those guarantee success and I got bogged
down by the digging case. This was going to be a last resort if all
of those still failed to make somewhere to move the hero, but for now,
at least, I'm skipping all that other stuff and going directly to the
last resort: give the hero Passes_walls ability for a short time, and
let him or her find own way out of trouble. The next trouble to fix
won't be STUCK_IN_WALL because Passes_walls makes that a non-issue.
I'm not thrilled with the new messages involved but want to get this
behind me.
From a beta-tester running 3.6.0:
|You faint from lack of food.
|You suddenly vomit!
The latter has already been changed to "You vomit" (it's given at the
end of a multiple-message vomiting countdown so wasn't "sudden") but is
still odd if your stomach is so empty that you're subject to fainting.
Give an alternate message in that case:
|Your stomach heaves convulsively!
Vomiting while unconscious (when that's due to something other than
fainting from hunger) should pose a risk of choking to death, but I'm
going to pretend that this hasn't occurred to me....
Adjust the Candelabrum of Invocation's weight when it has candles
attached. This has been a known issue ever since the candelabrum and
candles were introduced.
When the candelabrum burns out, update persistent inventory window to
show that it no longer has candles.
The countdown for delayed vomiting gave message "you suddenly vomit!"
at T-2, allowing you to move some more, then vomit at T-0 with no
message, finally at T+2 get "you can move again", making it seem as
if the program was letting you move during a time it thought that you
couldn't move. Also, there was nothing "sudden" about it since it was
near the end of a 15 or so turn sequence where a few other messages
are given leading up to that.
Change it to
T-2: You are about to vomit. // different wording
T-0: You vomit! // new message
so that "you can move again" more clearly refers to the actual event.
Polymorph control gives the player a chance to accept or reject a form
change due to lycanthropy, but if it occurs during combat or movement
the player might type 'y' before realizing that the prompt is pending.
Provide a paranoid_confirmation setting for 'Were-change' to allow a
player to require "yes" instead of 'y' for that.
The existing setting 'wand' is renamed to 'wand-break' and now requires
at least two letters in the config file options instead of just 1. The
spelling of its synonym is changed from 'breakwand' to 'break-wand';
it can be shorted to as few as 2 letters (same as before) but if more
than 5 are present, the new dash is required.
Both 'wand-break' and 'Were-change' are placed before 'pray' in the 'O'
menu for paranoid_confirmation so that all the "yes" vs 'y' settings
are grouped together.
Bonus fixes:
Reverting from were-critter form to human (due to timeout) did not give
a player with polymorph control the option of remaining in creature
form; now it does.
The 'O' command's menu would not show "wand" (now "wand-break") in the
current value of paranoid_confirmation. (A post 3.6.0 issue, so no
fixes entry included.)
The revised Guidebook.mn has been tested; Guidebook.tex has not.
Remove the assumption of property index values from the list of
property names. Move the properties that can't have timed values
in normal play to after those which can. (Mainly only matters for
the #wizintrinsic command.)
Bug fix: #wizintrinsic variable 'any' wasn't initialized properly
if 'a_int' is smaller than a long or a pointer. The separator line
I've added was ending up as a menu choice.
Extend the wizard mode #timeout command: show timeouts for all 67
intrinsics rather than just a handful. Most won't appear because
they don't have any way to receive a timed value. Except for...
Extend the wizard mode #wizintrinsic command: allow setting a
brief (30 turn) timeout for any/every intrinsic, not just for
deafness. It ought to prompt for duration, but that's more effort
than I'm willing to expend. This might turn up lots of quirks that
the code isn't prepared to handle (like setting life-saving to
non-zero will break the assumption that it comes from worn amulet).
Perhaps some will warrant fixing, others just a shrug.
There are still some timed events that aren't listed by #timeout:
remaining duration to stay polymorphed in current form, number of
turns until it's safe to pray, luck decay, number of turns until
next attribute exercise/abuse check, probably others that I'm
overlooking.
Bug fix: while testing, I observed
Your limbs have turned to stone.
You have turned to stone.
You can hear again.
You are a statue.
when deafness and petrification were timing out at the same time.
This modifies the stoning and sliming countdowns to extend deafness
duration a little if it's about to time out at the tail end of the
stoning or sliming sequence, so that "you can hear again" won't
happen until after life-saving. There are probably other variations
of simultaneous or near simultaneous timeout that interact oddly.
m_monnam() overrides hallucination, which is appropriate in some
situations but not others. This fixes one instance where it was
being misused: discovering a hidden monster when another monster
attacks it was calling either m_monnam() or a_monnam(); one ignores
hallucination and the other doesn't, so accurate or inaccurate
monster type depended on the condition tested.
Figurine activation and egg hatching are using m_monnam(), which
seems suspect, but I left them as is.
timeout.c: the luck timeout expression caused a bit of thought trying
to decide whether it was doing what was intended (it was). Add some
parentheses so that thought is no longer required. ;-)
worn.c: fix up a macro where automated reformatting mistook a
bitwise-and operation for a cast applied to the address of something.
Extend #stats beyond just monsters and objects. Have it display
memory usage for traps, engravings, light sources, timers, pending
shop wall/floor repair, regions, bones tracking, named object types,
and dungeon overview.
No doubt there are other memory consumers that I've overlooked.
I initially misunderstood this bug report about a nymph who was
polymorphed into a long worm while carrying a cursed figurine.
It wasn't about a long worm having inventory or about probing of
the worm's tail revealing that it had inventory, it was about the
message given when the cursed figurine activated itself. If that
happened while the head was out of view but at least one tail
segment was visible, the message about the new monster emerging
from the long worm's backpack implied that that pack was carried
by the tail segment.
Only give the emerge-from-backpack message when the worm's head
is visible. Likewise if a carried egg hatches.
If you tripped over something, and there were no rocks on
that place, the otmp object variable was set to null but used
later for checking if it was a corpse.
Implement the suggestion that applying a non-cursed unicorn horn can
cure deafness like other similar troubles. Also, applying a cursed one
can cause deafness, although I made the chance be half of what it is
for the other troubles since they tend to be more significant.
This is entry #2 on the bugzilla list, but I haven't figured out how to
update that yet.
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!
Lit candles and burning potions of oil can be on the migrating objects
list and get deleted before arrival, so they need the same cleanup as
rotting corpses to prevent obfree from complaining that they're worn.
Instead of just "while helpless", the death reason will tell
more explicitly why the player was helpless. For example:
"while frozen by a monster's gaze"
From a bug report, 2012:
> This one's easy: the "Your limbs {are stiffening|have turned to stone}" still
> appears as such even when you're polymorphed into a form that has no limbs
> (worms, etc.).
>
> Perhaps it should be "Your extremities[...]" or similar?
Simplify many of the intrinsics macros from
#define xxx_resistance (Hxxx || Exxx || resists_xxx(&youmonst))
down to
#define xxx_resistance (Hxxx || Exxx)
by setting or clearing an extra bit in Hxxx during polymorph so that the
resists_xxx() check becomes implicit.
Unfornately there were lots of places in the code that treat Hxxx
as a timeout number--primarily for Stunned, Confused, and Hallucination;
Stunned happens to be one of the revised macros--rather than as a bit
mask, so this patch needed a lot more changes than originally antipated.
While looking at fixing the mfrozen issue for monsters (there's no
way to tell whether it's been caused by sleep or paralysis, necessitating
that some messages be vague or suppressed when actions impact monsters
who can't move), I noticed a drawbridge bug for the hero. It was using
the misleadingly named Sleeping intrinsic incorrectly. When that is
nonzero, the hero is prone to falling asleep at random intervals, not
necessarily asleep right now. I've always intended to rename it to
something that's not misleading, but hadn't ever gotten around to doing
so, until now: change the SLEEPING property to SLEEPY and the Sleeping
intrinsic/attribute to Sleepy.
This may be moot for the drawbridge. I can't remember any hero ever
jumping to safety instead of being crushed by either the bridge or its
portcullis, and I'm sure sleepiness hasn't been a factor. So I haven't
included any fixes entry about misusing Sleeping when it meant u.usleep
(or better yet, unconscious(); or even better, Unaware [a post-3.4.3
pseudo-property that tests both unconscious() and fainted() when checking
whether hero is incapacitated]).
This started out as a one line change. After I saw someone in the
newsgroup mention that Sunsword's light was inferior to that of a lamp,
I decided to make it work better (than in 3.4.3, that is, becoming the
same brightness as a lamp) when blessed and worse when cursed (useless to
hero but still visible if wielded by a monster). But then it needed to
change light radius when its curse/bless state changed, and it needed
message feedback when doing so, and that got kind of complicated. I
wouldn't have bothered if I'd known what I was getting into, but I don't
want to throw it away now that I've done all this work....
Sunsword now gives a light radius of 3 when blessed (same as a lit
lamp), radius of 2 when uncursed (same as a lit candle and as it has been
providing since added in 3.4.0), and a radius of 1 when cursed (nearly
but not completely useless, as mentioned above). Also, it now "shines"
rather than "glows" since we usually use the latter for temporary effects.
Reported to us by <email deleted>:
'You are beginning to feel hungry. You trip over it.'
and also recently in the newsgroup by "<Someone>":
There is ice here. *You see here an electric eel corpse.*
Bib hits the electric eel. Bib misses the electric eel.
Bib misses the electric eel. The electric eel misses Bib.
The electric eel misses Bib. *You trip over it.*
slip_or_trip() was oversimplifying things by assuming that if there
is one object at the hero's location, a message about what that object is
has just been given. Any timeout message which precedes Fumbling (lots
of candiates besides hunger) could intervene, as could monster activity
between the hero's move and timeout handling. Aside from the reported
cases, that code hadn't been updated to account for the new pile_limit
option which could be set to 1 and force a popup display instead of the
usual "you see <an item> here". This fix adds a flag that can be used
to track the most recent message. It is cleared by pline for every
message, so pline's caller sets it _after_ the message of interest has
been displayed.
From a bug report: amulet of strangulation
continues to kill hero if he polymorphs into a creature which doesn't
need to breathe or doesn't have a head or even a circulatory system.
Currently, the messages are different when the hero doesn't need to
breathe, but that doesn't seem good enough. This makes strangulation
stop when you polymorph into something which shouldn't be vulnerable and
restart if you poly into something vulnerable while still wearing the
bad amulet.
can_be_strangled() is doing more checks that necessary, in case the
strangulation property ever gets conferred by something other than an
amulet. Its criteria for protection from strangling might need tweaking.
From a bug report: having a lit
candle or potion of oil be wielded or "worn" as alternate weapon or quiver
at the time it finished burning up would leave a stale worn object pointer
which could trigger a panic or crash. Need to call useup() instead of
obj_extract_self()+obfree() for objects in inventory, similar to the way
hatching eggs are handled.
From a bug report: you could vomit when polymorphed into a rat but real life
rats can't/don't vomit. The latter was confirmed by <Someone> and <Someone>.
While testing a fix for this, I discovered a couple of other problems.
Healing magic which cured sickness failed to heal Vomiting (potion or
spell; unicorn horn deals with them separately). Enlightenment failed to
report Vomiting (it's not shown on the status line). Most significant was
that vomiting_dialogue() called vomit() twice (also make_confused() and
make_stunned() three times for every once intended). It was dividing the
remaining turns by 3 and then using that value to decide what to do, but
only message display took into account that the same divided value would
occur on 3 consecutive turns (or just 2 for the final countdown to 0,
because dialog routine gets called before timed-property decrement).
