Reported last December by <email deleted>. Using
a wand or spell of undead turning inside a shop used up corpses without
checking whether they were owned by the shop. Although the report didn't
mention it, using stone-to-flesh on statues had the same problem.
I'm not completely satisfied by some aspects of this code, but if I
don't commit what I've got now I probably never would. My original notes
are lost; I thought that there were some additional fixes present, but
looking at these diffs I don't see anything else significant enough to
warrant mention in the fixes file.
As From a bug report, if you couldn't see a rolling boulder
fall into a pit, you only heard the sound if you were blind.
Also fixes the article used in the message.
Attempting to go > while blind and floating over unknown stairs/ladder
would refer to the stairs in the "high above" message (however, the
stairs/ladder remained unidentified on the map). Change this case so
it only refers to stairs/ladder if that's what the hero remembers on the map.
"You push the boulder into the pool" should be "Your steed pushes
the boulder into the pool" if done while riding since that's how other
boulder pushing messages are handled.
Fix the reported problem of bad inventory management if the user
specified a count (with traditional menu style) when attempting to drop
part of a stack of cursed loadstones. After the "you can't drop that"
message, it tried to undo the stack split, but splitobj was changed
sometime back and the undo hack wasn't adjusted to account for the fact
that it needed to merge with the previous object instead of the next one.
The result was that it would incorrectly increment the count of the next
item instead of the original loadstone, or crash in canletgo() if the
split off stone was the last item in the list.
This prevents cursed loadstones from being split (via getobj()'s
count handling) in the first place, so there's nothing to undo later.
It still uses a similar kludge so that the "can't drop that" message can
be adjusted, but it's now a simpler kludge and I hope a more robust one.
Use a new flush_screen(-1) call to toggle 3rd screen update in goto_level.
This keeps the 3rd screen state unchanged, no matter what happens at higher
levels, ensures the map window cursor stays on the hero, ensures the
hero's showrace colors remains bright white, and so on.
It is not physical damage if:
1. it already qualifies for some other special type of damage
for which a special resistance already exists in the game
including: cold, fire, shock, and acid. Note that fire is
extended to include all forms of burning, even boiling water
since that is already dealt with by fire resistance, and in
most or all cases is caused by fire.
2. it doesn't leave a mark. Marks include destruction of, or
damage to, an internal organ (including the brain),
lacerations, bruises, crushed body parts, bleeding.

Allow migrated objects to break on arrival. Added code to obj_delivery to
cause this, along with a flag to keep breakage from occurring. The new
flag isn't used yet, because all the current object migration involve
objects that were moving/dropping. To help make this change, rloco now
returns whether the object was placed or not, so caller can know if an obj
pointer is still valid or not.
Making the breakage messages for MIGR_NEAR_PLAYER objects show up after the
new level is displayed required some effort (rather than while the old level
was still displayed, which was confusing), due to the needs of goto_level.
- obj_delivery now has 2 passes, one for before player arrives, another after,
allowing the two cases to be treated differently
- goto_level calls obj_delivery twice (run_timers is not called twice,
since the run required before the level is displayed will have already run
any timers on migrating object)
- kill_genocided_monsters now kills eggs on the migrating_objs list too

when floating over the water, things dropped always
make some sort of sound. Also fix up some messages
when Underwater that previously said things like
"feel what is lying on the water" by adjusting
surface() in that situation to return "bottom."
While looking into this, I noticed that if you
are polymorphed into a Flyer and you then polymorph
back into your normal form, you don't end up in
the water until you move, so this attempts to
correct that too.
Introduce a new set of functions to manage delayed killers in the trunk, used
in addressing the various reports of delayed killer confusion. Since existing
delayed killers are related to player properties, the delayed killers are
keyed by uprop indexes. I did this to avoid adding yet another set of
similar identifiers.
- the new delayed_killer() is used for stoning, sliming, sickness, and
delayed self-genocide while polymorphed. Some other timed events don't
use it (and didn't use the old delayed_killer variable) because they
use a fixed message when the timeout occurs.
- A new data structure, struct kinfo, is used to track both delayed and
immediate killers. This encapsulates all the info involved with
identifying a killer. The structure contains a buffer, which subsumes the
old killer_buf and several other buffers that didn't/couldn't use killer_buf.
- the killer list is saved and restored as part of the game state.
- the special case of usick_cause was removed and a delayed killer list
entry is now used in its place
- common code dealing with (un)sliming is moved to a new make_slimed function
- attempted to update all make dependencies for new end.c -> lev.h
dependency, sorry if I messed any up
+ Separate the two uses of flags.soundok.
+ Player-settable option is now called "acoustics".
+ Deafness is now handled as a full-fledged attribute.
+ Check for deafness in You_hear(), rather than caller.
+ Check for deafness in caller, rather than verbalize(),
because gods can speak to characters in spite of deafness.
+ Since changes are being made to prop.h, reorder it to the
same order as youprop.h and enlightenment.
There are still some extraneous checks and missing checks
for deafness, which will be followed up in a future patch.
Because of the size of this patch and its savefile incompatibilities,
it is only being applied to the trunk code. Portions of this patch
were written by Michael Allison.

This patch:
- collects all context/tracking related fields from flags
into a new structure called "context."
It also adds the following to the new structure:
- stethoscope turn support
- victual support
- tin support
This patch introduces a change to yname() and Yname2() that avoids the
possessive "your" for the hero's normal, fully identified artifacts.
Quest artifacts still get the possessive, as do all other objects and all
objects not in the hero's possession. shk_your()/Shk_Your() are used in
many places with a specific, generalized name for the object, so I didn't
introduce the artifact behavior there, although I did change them to append
a space, which simplified some other code. Through added use of yname(),
there may be some places that used to just say "corpse" that will now be more
descriptive via yname()'s use of cxname(). I'm sure <Someone> will point
out any such places that are too onerous, although nothing obviously is.
I took the opportunity to inspect many uses of "your" and even Your(). Two
new functions are also introduced, yobjnam() and Yobjnam2(), which work
like aobjnam() and yname() combined, because I found that many uses of
aobjnam() were preceeded by "your" and I couldn't generally provide the
desired behavior for artifacts (or future artifacts) without a combined
function. In some cases, this change allowed better sharing of code.
rust_dmg() still takes a string as input which is sometimes initialized
from xname() and often prepends "your" to it. Currently, this isn't a
problem since there currently are no normal, armor artifacts. If/when any
are introduced, rust_dmg() will need to be addressed.
The patch is for the trunk only. A lot of research was required and I
didn't feel the upside was there for repeating it in the 3.4.3 branch.

[confirmed: moveloop -> deferred_goto -> goto_level ->
losedogs -> mon_arrive -> rloc -> impossible]
This patch:
- causes rloc() to return TRUE if successful,
or FALSE if it wasn't.
- adds code to mon_arrive() in dog.c to deal with
the failed rloc()
- allows the x,y parameters to mkcorpstat() to
be 0,0 in order to trigger random placement of the
corpse on the level
- if you define DEBUG_MIGRATING_MONS when you build cmd.c
then you'll have a debug-mode command #migratemons to
store the number of random monsters that you specify
on the migrating monsters chain.

Recently discussed in the newsgroup, and it sounded familiar so may
have been reported directly earlier:
You fly through the trap door. You fly down along the stairs.
when polymorphed into a flying creature or riding a flying steed. It
only happens at the castle, and only happens because the go-down code is
explicitly setting the arrival point to be the Valley stairs. That's how
the castle trap doors used to work as traps too, but they were changed to
dump you randomly near the stairs quite some time ago. Fix it by making
intentional triggering work the same now; this also prevents the false
feedback (even if you happen to arrive on the stairs by coincidence).
This started out as a change to address the strange sequence of messages if
you remove a blindfold while engulfed in a dust vortex. That is addressed
by a new function that can be called in such situations. Calls to this
function were added in all the cases where the can_blnd() engulfing
conditions end as a result of player action. There are some other cases
that end ucreamed or usleep, but they happen between turns and shouldn't
need extra handling.
While I was at it, I noticed that a unicorn horn or prayer would cure
blindness even while engulfed in a dust vortex. This is useless, because
you immediately get blind again the next turn. So, I added checks to avoid
doing this. Finally, it didn't make sense for eating a carrot to cure your
blindness in these situations either, only for it to return immediately.
Most callers of dropx did not check for altars, but should have. Rather
than add such checks, I moved the check from drop to dropx. I also found
several callers of dropx that could generate out-of-order messages for some
cases (not new) and fixed them. FYI - callers of dropy don't seem to want
altar checks or already do them.
Added code to flooreffects() to implement this suggestion from <Someone>.
It kicks in while blind, only affects objects of some bulk, and also only
things dropped at your location. The map_background currently doesn't
do anything since the dropped object is remembered on top, but this will
avoid a bug if we ever add invisible objects.
Incorporate a fix from <Someone> that resets the timestamp on
stinking clouds left in bones files. This does allow the cloud's ttl to
restart. Extended it to reset the player_inside flag.
Then noticed that the only placed that called in_out_region was domove().
Added calls when changing levels (which causes player_inside to be set
correctly if the cloud covers the location where the player starts on the
bones level), teleporting, and inside hurtle_step. There are still other
places that fail to call in_out_region, which others may choose to tackle.
I split out the remaining stinking cloud bug reported in the same e-mail
into a separate betabug. That one probably cannot be addressed without
changing the level file format to track the creator.
<Someone> reported that after pushing a boulder into a pool location which
contained a fire trap on the bottom, that the trap wasn't destroyed. Added
missing delfloortrap call.

Forwarded from the newsgroup as noting that dropping a chameleon corpse
into a purple worm did not cause polymorph nor will the digestion attack.
Added code to dropy and mdamagem to include special corpse effects like
those in dog_eat and meatobj.
1) consolidate all core usage of `errno' in files.c;
2) give more feedback for any failure by create_levelfile or open_levelfile,
similar to what was being done for problems during level change;
3) include trickery info in paniclog (many instances of "trickery" seem to
be due to disk or quota problems rather than user misbehavior...).
The create_levelfile call in pcmain probably ought to be changed to use
error feedback, but in the meantime this should continue working.
Perhaps error() should be modified to update paniclog too, but I didn't
want to go through all its port-specific incarnations making changes.
Prevent the pardoning of trickery in wizard mode from attempting
to continue when there's no longer any current level. Also prevent
the ZEROCOMP configuration from trying to read from file descriptor -1
in case there're any other places which still let that slip through.
And fix an oddity in the VMS port's error() routine which has gone
unnoticed for years.

Clear the uundetected status during level changes in case
the character was hiding under something immediately prior to the
change. Don't set hidden status at the destination even when
there's something to hide under--it'll take a turn to hide again.
<Someone> reported that dropping gold on an altar prints no message.
As a side effect, gnostic conduct was never affected, which seemed odd;
dropping other known objects would still affect your gnostic conduct.
While fixing this, I noticed a GOLDOBJ-related bug when dropping gold while
levitating.
when investigating the report of death due to falling off steed leaving
"you were riding" in the final attributes. (This doesn't fix that bug.)
Dismounting calls teleds() to put the character on the map and teleds()
does various iron ball manipulations, but during level change the ball
is removed from the map and those manipulations won't work as intended.
Fixing some iron ball/teleds stuff:
-- If the player can pass through walls, ignore all checks for walls, or else
things will behave weirdly.
-- Instead of using the kludge "if the distance is >2 it must be a teleport",
pass a parameter indicating whether they crawled or teleported onto the new
space. This fixes a special case, where the player moved one space and the
ball didn't move, but the chain moved through solid rock. This is acceptable
if teleporting and unacceptable if dragging.
This also required some rearrangement of teleds() so that u.ux,u.uy
are set after placing the ball, not before. I'm still not sure the pit
filling line is in the right place; anyone know?
-- add some comments so I can look at the code in a month and still know what
I did.
Most of this patch is just adding the new parameter.
- new splitobj() behavior requires special casing when !GOLDOBJ and
dropping some of your gold, to ensure that the remainder remains the first
item in the inventory
