---------------------------------------------------------------------------
mailversion: 1.10
nhversion: 3.4.0
nhfrom: 3.4.0 Official binary release for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/Me/XP
(nh340win.zip)
hardware: 1 Ghz AMD Athlon, 512 MB RAM etc. etc.
I don't think that the hardware is related to the problem because I found it.
software: I used Win 98 (1st edition) and MS VC++ 6.0 to find/fix the bug in
Nethack 3.4.0.
comments: steps to crash: start nethackw.exe - start a game - select "fit to
sreen" in the map menue - rezize the map until it is very very small -> crash
- change the way the tile sizes are calculated, based on the image size,
so non-square tiles can once again be supported.
- fix Gnome port so it can actually display non-square tiles, several
height/width uses were backwards
- update Install.X11 to note the number of tiles per row in the XPM image
This patch implements two things:
- space now dismisses a menu, text or menutext window when you are
at the bottom of that window
- Page scrolling in menus now works as follows:
pressing PgDn (or Space in NH mode) moves the focus down one page,
and moves the scroll position down one page. The effect of this
is that you always get a full new page of items (which is what
NetHack players expect), and that the focus moved down one page
(what Windows users expect.)
The same (revers) goes for scrolling up a page.
A Windows user will still be a bit surprised when the focus is on
the top item, and he presses '>': he gets a new page of things instead
of the focus moving to the bottom of the page.
However, the PgUp/PgDn keys (which he probably uses) still have the
old Windows behaviour.
This band adds handling for the "5" key in the numeric keypad. This is
called VK_CLEAR in the VK_ constants. Using this band, and with
NumLock off, doing 5 will send NetHack the letter 'g'. Doing SHIFT-5 will
send 'G'. Without this band and with NumLock off, 5 does nothing. With
NumLock on, 5 sends 5.
This implements some items on the ToDo list:
- H0005: Space does the same as PgDn in text, menu and 'menutext'
windows if NetHack mode is on.
- M0004: The cursor (caret) is hidden in text windows and menu
windows.
PgUp/PgDn/Up/Dn don't move the cursor, but scroll the
window.
- let the "#" key work as per Guidebook
- role selection didn't work if you had gender specified in your .nethackrc
similar problems would occur for other .nethackrc selections
- fix an obvious memory leak
- fix one crash bug from accessing a freed pointer (M-? dismiss M-?)
- note some invalid behavior in comments for a real Gnome developer to fix
- reformatted some code so I could follow it
- support X11 tile files (with or without XPM) that are 40 tiles wide
- rearrange some X11 code to share more code between XPM & non-XPM options
- clean out some deprecated X11/winmap.c #ifdefs
- update Qt code minimally to handle such an XPM file
This patch allows ALT-? to do #? in NetHack mode by not doing
TranslateAccelerator in NetHack mode. This relies on the short circuit
logic of || (much of NetHack code relies on it, it's just an explanatory note).
This patch disables ALT-H in NetHack mode. Before patch: ALT-H in NetHack
mode brings down the Help menu in the menu bar. After patch: ALT-H does
nothing in NetHack mode. In both cases, in Windows mode, ALT-H brings
down the Help menu in the menu bar. I can easily write a patch to have
ALT-H in NetHack mode act the same as '?'.
Explanation:
return 0: this window proc has processed this event.
return DefWindowProc(): process using default window proc.
ALT-H is the only key for which DefWindowProc() does something special AND
reaches the else.
This is so it can be shared with Qt.
If, for some reason, we have to cut another source tarball for
3.4.0, then this will be included. Otherwise, this will
turn out to be a post-3.4.0 patch.
- splash_screen (boolean for whether to display splash screen at startup)
- player_selection:dialog|prompts
Also moves the font and window manipulation stuff in defaults.nh
further down the file, so that a tty users doesn't have to wade
through it all to find the character adjustment samples.
- changed splash screen fonts to measure in logical pixels rather that
points.
Points are 1/72 inch regardless of screen resolution. If screen resolution
changes so does visible image size. If font is measured in points then its
visible size remains the same. The text is getting cut off (or becomes to
small for the image) as a result.
- a couple of README updates
- some color changes for windowcolors
- prevent crash From a bug report, but better than a crash. It
probably renders the map_mode:fit_to_screen ignored in defaults.nh.
part 2 touches only port files
Makes Borland happy with current sources.
Fixes bug in WM_PAINT handling in rip/splash code.
Fixes getline() bug (H0009)
Tidies up source.
Fixes up copyright notices.
Adds TODO docs for Borland. (Removes "TODO" note)
Small changes to defaults formatting.
Fixes ALT key on Graphical Port non NetHack mode.
Hilites pet in Graphical Port text mode.
Also Implements windowcolors for status and message window in graphical port.
On graphical port,
tested to see it actually works.
Tested on platforms Makefile MSC/BCC Graphical/Console, MSC IDE for
compile and run and performing hilite pet in graphical text, not
displaying rawio, alt key.
This patch implements Michael's idea to have a "NetHack mode" for
keypresses. It only does the Alt-keys now, but it should be easy
to extend to pressing space in dialogs; I left that out as we still
have to agree on a new dialog look.
The setting that you choose from the menu is stored in the registry.
Reading and writing the registry is done on init_nhwindows and
exit_nhwindows; there also is a menu item to delete the registry
settings (which makes sure they are not stored again this session.)
This provides a framework for future registry settings.
Also,
Alt-tab should show the app title when a menu or text window is up.
I left the app title as it was, although I still favour "Graphical
Version" or "With Graphics"; Anyway, that's only one resource string.
Here's a patch that checks whether the common control
library is available and up-to-date
[slightly modified from <Someone>'s version to reduce
indentation one level, and to fix wrap-around
in the patch]
