the prompting on Windows wasn't working correctly if a prior game had crashed
and the self-recover feature was trying to kick in. This impacts tty, curses,
and mswin (GUI).
Performance profiling showed that multiple strcmpi() calls were
occurring each and every time a character was going to the map.
This update:
- honors the WC_COLOR capability
- It allows a window-port to control individual color availability should the window-port wish to do so.
- Makes checking on the individual colors for the active window-port is a straightforward table lookup at the CLR_ offset.
iflags.use_color remains a master on/off switch for use of color, regardless of the capability
compiled into the game (default TRUE).
The has_color() routine, which is now a shared routine in src/windows.c, could likely be made
into a simple macro to eliminate the function call, but this update does not go that far.
This hits a lot of port files due to the window-port interface change, mostly cookie-cutter.
Add 'eating' (synonym 'continue') to the list of things that can be
set via paranoid_confirmation to require "yes" instead of "y" when
the user is prompted about something, in this case "Continue eating?".
dat/opthelp was missing a few of the paranoid_confirmation choices.
A reddit thread about an unaligned altar in an aligned temple was
a tipoff that mimics posing as altars didn't have any particular
alignment. The look-at code was misusing an operloaded field of the
underlying terrain. Pick an alignment at random when taking on the
appearance of an altar, store it in the mimic's mon->mextra->mcorpsenm
field, and have look-at use that.
Also, dropping a ring of polymorph into a sink can transform it, and
one possible outcome is an altar. In this case, the alignment is
part of the location's topology, but code setting that up was using
Align2amask(rn2(foo)). That's a macro which evaluates its argument
more than once. The first evaluation was effectively a no-op. If
the second evaluation picked lawful then the result was lawful as
intended. But if the second picked non-lawful and the third picked
lawful, the result would end up as none-of-the-above (a value of 3
when it needs to be a single-bit mask of 1, 2, or 4).
All Is_*_level tests during early startup would test as true until
dungeon_topology was initialized in a new game or restored from
a save file. That could result in some unexpected code paths being
taken.
While not a path exactly, the dumplog file isn't placed somewhere
fixed so being able to see where it is placed could be useful.
This cascaded a bit during testing. Fix one of the warnings from
hardfought (fqn_prefix_names[]). And a few more that came up with
SYSCF disabled (panictrace_gdb, two unused variables if files.c).
Fixes#240
Monster versus monster (melee and throwing) didn't handle shades
(need silver or blessed weapon to take damage) or silver feedback
(extra info when silver-haters are hit).
I did a lot of test, revise, re-test but didn't always re-test
everything that had previously been tested, so bugs that I thought
were quashed might have crept in.
Now if a missile weapon "passes harmlessly through the shade" it
will continue on and maybe hit something else. (Regular misses
still stop at the missed target.)
A couple of minor ball&chain changes accidentally got included.
Move makeplural(body_part(FINGER)) into its own routine, with option
to substitute gloves when wearing such.
Wearing slippery gloves (ie, wearing gloves while having slippery
fingers) wouldn't let you put on a ring because you can't take the
gloves off, but removing a worn ring lacked the same restriction.
After changing that, teach prayer that slippery gloves is another
reason why a ring of levitation can't be removed.
Add
--showpaths
early option to show where NetHack is expecting to find certain files
without starting up a game. It exits afterwards.

Slippery fingers would transfer from bare hands to gloved hands if
you put gloves on. The reverse, transfering from gloves to bare
hands when taking gloves off, was already being prevented for
directly taking them off, but still allowed the slipperiness to
transfer when gloves were lost. This prevents putting on gloves
when fingers are slippery and attempts to handle cases where gloves
get unworn by ways other than 'T' (or 'R') or 'A'.
There's no slippery attribute for objects (way too much work for too
little value); slippery gloves is just the combination of wearing
gloves and having slippery fingers (which now has to have happened
while already wearing those gloves). This changes inventory to use
"(being worn; slippery)" when applicable and much of the patch deals
with funnelling Glib changes through new make_glib() to try to make
sure that persistent inventory adds or removes "; slippery" right
away when changes happen.
If gloves are taken off involuntarily (shapechange to a form that
can't wear them, destruction via scroll of destroy armor or monster
spell of same or via overenchantment, theft), slippery fingers ends
right away instead of the usual few turns later.
make typedef of boolean match mingw header files
link with shell32 and ole32 as Makefile.msc now had to do
kludge some stuff missing from mingw headers in sys/winnt/windmain.c
A few symbol-related modifications:
- fulfill a request from a blind player to allow them to
specify a unique/recognizable character for all pets and/or
the player in the config file for use when using a screen
reader (S_player_override, S_pet_override). Requires sysconf
setting ACCESSIBILITY to be set to have an effect, although
they can still be specified in the config file.
- Config file SYMBOLS entries were not working properly on
the rogue level. Allow ROGUESYMBOLS as well as SYMBOLS to be
specified in the config file independently.
- When values are moved into showsyms[], the overriding SYMBOLS
or ROGUESYMBOLS entry from the config file is used if there is
one; if there is no overriding value for a particular symbol,
the loaded symset value is used; if there is no symset entry
loaded for the symbol then a default symbol is used.
Mimic-as-slime_mold needs to keep track of the fruit index the same
way that mimic-as-corpse keeps track of corpse's monster type. The
mimic description was changing (for '/' and ';' feedback) whenever
the player assiged a new fruit name.
That wasn't noticeable when applying a stethoscope because
mimic-as-slime_mold always yielded "that fruit is really a mimic".
Change it to report the fruit's type instead of generic "fruit".
Fix a couple of bugs I stumbled across while testing something else.
The sell prompt for a container dropped in a shop had phrasing issues.
This fixes a couple but there are more. The message composition
assumes that contents fall into two categories: those already owned
by the shop and those the shopkeeper is offering to buy from the hero.
But there is a third: stuff the shopkeeper doesn't care about so
won't buy. The count_contents() routine can supply total contents or
shop-owned contents. Subtracting one from the other yields combined
hero-owned without any way to separate out shk-cares and don't-care.
Fixes#235
For initial options under curses, specifying 'DECgraphics' as a
boolean rather than as 'symset:DECgraphics' wasn't overriding the
new default 'symset:curses'. Since previously DECgraphics was
rejected for curses, it's possible that no one noticed.
Change the way symbol sets are loaded to make them have the same order
as they appear in the symbols file rather than being reversed.
Revise dat/symbols so that the new ordering yields a result similar
to the old ordering, more or less. I've added a few set descriptions.
The only substantive change is marking DECgraphics as primary-only
(not available on rogue level) and adding new set DECgraphics_2 which
is commented out near the end.
Define symbol handling H_MAC since one of the sets specifies
'handling: MAC'. All H_MAC is used for now is to avoid showing
MACgraphics as a symset when compiled without MAC_GRAPHICS_ENV (which
was used for pre-OSX Mac by the old code in sys/mac/), so it will be
hidden for everyone.
I left handling H_CURS even though curses doesn't implement anything
for it. It could do something when rendering the map or assign a
function to 'cursesgraphics_mode_callback' for special init or both
but hasn't needed to. Since curses is now supporting DECgraphics,
define 'decgraphics_mode_callback' for it. No value is being
assigned so that doesn't do anything; curses seems to be setting up
the primary character set as text and secondary one as line-drawing
without the need for that hook.
With the added set descriptions, 'O's symset menu looked horrible for
curses due to the way curses decides to set the width of menus and
the resulting line wrapping which took place because of a too-narrow
menu. I've added a chunk of code to the options handling code which
shouldn't really be there but makes the menu much easier to read.
Lastly, do some formatting cleanup in files.c.
This time I'm putting things in as-is before making a few tweaks.
The pull request was three or four separate changes. I used the
patch instead so they've been collected into one commit.
Fixes#230
Incorporate github pull request #230, support for DECgraphics-style
line drawing in the curses interface. I've rewritten the
curses_convert_glyph() part so that it doesn't require C99 and
doesn't reinitialize its pair of arrays for every character written
to the map. The DECgraphics conversion is now a straight char for
char one, DEC line drawing code to ACS, without regard to what map
symbol is intended or what 'cursesgraphics' uses for that symbol.
Report #H9243 misinterpreted W_WEAPON as W_WEP and attributed a
hypothetical ball and chain sanity checking problem to that.
Rename the former to W_WEAPONS to emphasize that it includes
alternate/secondary weapon and quivered stack as well as wielded
weapon.
Another part of github issue 227. Casting a function pointer when
passing it to another function is iffy when lying about the return
type. tputs() expects a routine which returns int, so give it one.
Other xputc() usage is equivalent to putchar(), so define xputc()
with the same function signature as that has.
The tputs() declarations in system.h should probably be changed
(third argument is a function which takes an int rather than
unspecified parameters) but I've left them alone. I made that change
to tputs() in sys/share/tclib.c though.
NT and MSDOS changes are untested. tclib.c compiles ok with clang-
as-gcc on OSX but hasn't been tested with the port that uses it (VMS).
The pull request #226 commentary follows:
One major limitation of the autopickup exception system is that you can't
define an exception from an exception, despite both menucolors and msgtypes
prioritizing rules based on the order they are defined in .nethackrc. This
is because the "always pickup" and "never pickup" exceptions are tracked in
different lists, and at runtime, when the player steps over an object, the
game checks these lists seperately, with "never pickup" taking precedence.
This means that if you want to pick up some but not all items matching a
given expression, you may need to write a long and kludgy list of regexes
to get the behavior you want.
I've edited the autopickup exception code to remove this necessity: now
the exceptions are stored in one list, and conflicts between them are
resolved based on their relative position in that list. Whether an
exception was inclusive or exclusive was already tracked individually;
I don't know why they were stored separately in the first place. This
edit makes the system both more convenient and more consistent with the
semantics of menucolors and msgtypes.
With these changes, the 33 autopickup exception rules in the wiki article
linked above may be replaced with the following 7 much simpler rules for
the exact same effect:
AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTION=">.* corpse.*"
AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTION="<.* newt corpse.*"
AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTION="<.* lichen corpse.*"
AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTION="<.* lizard corpse.*"
AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTION="<.* floating eye corpse.*"
AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTION="<.* wraith corpse.*
AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTION=">.*\>.*"
