Add options 'showvers' (boolean) and 'versinfo' (numeric mask) to
show nethack's version on the status lines during play. It won't be
particularly interesting to ordinary players but should be useful
when making screenshots or video to be streamed, or for someone who
switches between git branches or between nethack and variants.
I worked on this several months back but it was combined with
unfinished changes to 'hitpointbar'. I've separated it out so that
it can be put into use. When enabled, one or more components of
"<name> <branch> <version>" will be shown right justified after
status conditions. At present the default is "<branch>" if that is
available and overall status isn't 'released', or "<version>" if
'released' or if branch isn't available. That might need some
refinement.
It works as intended for tty and curses, although some abbreviation
mechanism would be useful if/when the program resorts to abbreviating
status conditions to make things narrow enough to fit.
For X11, it works ok for fancy_status:True (the default, controlled
via NetHack.ad settings) but is messed up for tty-style status. The
text is positioned correctly but there are gaps in it, making it
appear garbled, similar to what I saw when I tried and failed to
implement statuslines:3 for X11. [It might be due to having empty
condition widgets be 1 pixel wide instead of being totally removed
but I don't think the situation is that simple.]
For Qt, if the text needs to be truncated in order to fit, the center
portion of the string will be shown, discarding parts from the left
and right. That ought to discard from left and retain rightmost
portion instead.
For win32|mswin|Win GUI, no attempt to support it has been included.
Things should be ok when 'showvers' is left as False (the default)
but I don't know what will happen if that gets toggled to True. At a
minimum, the version info won't be right justified. The information,
or at least some of it, is displayed in the game window's title bar
so there isn't any pressing need to add it to status, but toggling
the option will need to behave sensibly if it doesn't already.

Add pickup_stolen option to autopick items stolen from you by a nymph or
monkey, even if they don't match your normal autopickup settings.
Replace was_dropped, was_thrown with a 2-bit bitfield that can contain
values LOST_DROPPED, LOST_THROWN, and LOST_STOLEN (or 0), since they
should all be mutually exclusive anyway as they track the most recent
way the item left the hero's inventory.
[Rebase/merge conflict fixed up. PR]
This is based on a feature in UnNetHack (and I think some other variants
as well). If the hero intentionally drops an item with 'pickup_dropped'
disabled, don't autopick it back up when walking over that square again.
Typically when the player drops an item, it's because she doesn't want
it in her inventory any more, and this option stops autopickup from
defeating that goal (especially useful for tasks like stash management
without a container). Players have come up with workarounds to this
problem like toggling autopickup when approaching their stash pile or
adding name-based autopickup exceptions to allow them to exclude
individual items from autopickup, but this behavior should reduce the
need for those things.
I think 'pickup_dropped' is a little unfortunate because it suggests
equivalence to 'pickup_thrown' (i.e. any dropped items will be
automatically picked up regardless of autopickup exceptions). Calling
it something like 'nopick_dropped' might be better, but as far as I can
tell options cannot start with the word 'no' because it's interpreted as
a negation of the rest of the option name.
Add a new option 'perminv_mode' to augment perm_invent. It handles
the same choices as the temporary TTYINV method: show all items other
than gold, show full inventory including gold, or only show in-use
items (similar to the '*' command).
For tty, both the all-except-gold and full-inventory modes can add
the poorly named 'sparse' variation which populates unused slots in
its fixed grid with the inventory letter that would go in each.
For others, the default has been changed from full-inventory to
all-except-gold. Note that gold is treated as part of 'all' or of
'in-use' if it is quivered because having the amount be shown on the
status line doesn't make that redundant.
Changing the default may mess up WinGUI if it assumes that perm_invent
is full inventory with gold.
Initially I was going to change perm_invent into a compound but this
leaves it as an on/off toggle and adds perminv_mode as a separate
option for how to show the inventory when the toggle is on. It may
make sense to combine them since dual controls is a little confusing,
but right now setting perm_invent On when perminv_mode is 'none'
changes that to 'all' and changing perminv_mode away from 'none' when
perm_invent is Off toggles it to On.
Guidebook.mn has been updated but as usual Guidebook.tex is lagging.
Fairly old pull request from copperwater: add new paranoid_confirm
setting 'trap'.
The old commit suffered from bit rot and merging needed too much
fixing up despite there not being many bands of change in the commit's
diffs. I ultimately redid it from scratch, although the two biggest
chunks of code started with copy+paste of the pull request's commit.
It operates like paranoid:pray. Setting paranoid:trap adds a new
"Really step into <trap>?" y/n prompt when attempting to move
into/onto a known trap, even if an object covers it on the map.
Setting both 'paranoid:Confirm trap' turns that into a yes/no prompt.
(Adding 'Confirm' affects other paranoid confirmations; in addition
to requiring yes<return> rather than just y to accept, it also forces
no<return> to reject.)
However, moving into a known trap that is considered to be harmless
behaves as if no trap was present. Some of the trap classification
might be out of date; several types of traps have undergone changes
since implementation of the original pull request, notably anti-magic
field. When the hero is hallucinating, all known traps are considered
harmful since the map no longer reliably describes them.
Preceding a movement command with the 'm' prefix also behaves as if
no trap was present, bypassing confirmation for that move, similar to
how paranoid:swim currently behaves. Being stunned or confused also
behaves as if no trap was present, taking priority over hallucination.
This updates the documentation.
Supersedes #259Closes#259
An issue from nearly three years ago, reported by Anerag: asking
player whether to really pray isn't paranoid enough because it
accepts 'y' rather than requring "yes".
This changes it to require "yes" followed by <return> or <enter> if
paranoid_confirm:Confirm is also set. (A side-effect of that is
explicit "no<return|enter>" is required instead of just 'n' to
decline--for all the paranoid confirmations, not just for prayer.)
This extension of paranoid:Confirm applies to paranoid:AutoAll too.
A comment asks why paranoid_confirm:pray is different from the other
paranoid questions in the first place. The answer is that when it
isn't set, no confirmation prompt is issued at all. The others all
have y/n confirmation prompts when the corresponding paranoid option
isn't set.
Once upon a time there was a boolean option called 'prayconfirm' that
issued "really pray?" prompt when True. It was added after players
whinged about typing Alt+p when they meant to type Alt+o. When the
more advanced 'paranoid_confirmation' was introduced, paranoid:pray
superseded prayconfirm, but it still only issues a confirmation
prompt where there normally wouldn't be one rather than change an
existing one to require "yes<return|enter>" instead of 'y'.
Closes#303
Issue most recently reported by Xdminsy (previously reported by
others): it is too easy to accidentally pick choice 'A' in object
class selection menus for menustyle:Full. Previous change relevant
to this was to exclude choices 'A' and 'a' from being set by '.'
(choose all entries) and '~' (toggle all entries). That was an
improvement but doesn't help with pressing shift when meaning to
type 'a' by those who type faster than they cogitate.
This implements a suggestion by janne-hmp: add new choice for the
paranoid_confirmation option, 'Autoall' (synonym 'Autoselect-all').
If the player sets this and includes 'A' among the choices for
class selection, prompt to confirm whether to honor it. Like
confirmation for praying, it adds an extra y/n prompt rather than
change an existing y/n prompt into a yes/n or yes/no one. If the
player declines, then nothing is selected and the operation is
cancelled rather than putting the menu back up to choose again.
OPTIONS=paranoid_confirm:autoall requires at least two letters
('au') even if the 'a' is capitalized. paranoid_confirm:a means
confirm attacking peaceful monsters. And it should be
OPTIONS=paranoid_confirm:autoall pray swim
if someone just wants to add autoall to the default paranoid bits.
The Guidebook hasn't been updated to describe the new choice since
it seems likely that it might undergo adjustments.
Closes#1065
Add a new debugging option, 'montelecontrol', that allows a wizard-
mode player to choose a teleporting monster's destination. If player
picks a bad spot, confirmation will be requested. If accepted, the
spot will be used even though the consequences could be bad; that's
on the player. If rejected, the destination will be assigned as if
no control had been attempted rather than try again.
The fuzzer isn't allowed to override a bad spot if it tries to pick
one. That would probably trigger a sanity_check warning; the fuzzer
causes impossible warnings to behave as if panic, so accepting a bad
spot would just be fuzzer suicide. It is allowed to randomly set the
option and maybe--though extremely unlikely--randomly pick a valid
controlled destination.
Adds a more general way to handle gameplay tips, and adds
a boolean option "tips", which can be used to disable all
tips. Adds a helpful longer message when the game goes
into the "farlook" mode.
Also adds a lua binding to easily show multi-line text
in a menu window.
Breaks save compat.
Also includes support by paxed for polearm targeting using the
frame color.
Also renames USE_TILES to TILES_IN_GLYPHMAP which is a more
accurate description.
Not all window interfaces have full support for the color framing
of the background square yet.
MS-DOS needs further work (to bring it to both VESA and VGA, with
and without tiles.
Windows GUI is missing support.
X11 and Qt have been started, but may require further refinement.
Allow the preferred sort order for the vanquished monsters list to
be specified in the run-time config file
|OPTIONS=sortvanquished:X
where X is t, d, a, c, n, or z. It can also be set to 'A' or 'C'
but those aren't documented and aren't offered as choices when
setting the value interactively, which can be done via 'm O' or by
using 'm #vanquished'.
Guidebook.mn has been updated but Guidebook.tex is lagging again.
Incorporate the diff from entrez describing the travel_debug wizard
mode option and removing obsolete M prefix from the Guidebook. That
missed a reference to it in the description of '_'.
I put M back in case someone who has used it with earlier versions
tries to use it and gets a no-such-command complaint so goes looking
for it.
Also, make the mention of ^X at the end of the discussion of status
stand out a bit. The indentation of its paragraph made it line up
with the preceding text instead of making it be distinct from that.
The TeX changes are untested and given the amount of punctuation
characters used, it will be surprising if they all have been quoted
properly.
Implement 'untrap' as an 'autounlock' action. Quite a bit more work
than anticipated. The new documentation is rather clumsy; too many
if-this and if-not-that clauses have intruded.
I'll be astonished if all the return values are correct....
[A couple of places were checking for (rx != 0 && ry != 0) to decide
whether they were performating an autounlock action at <rx,ry> but
that erroneously excludes the top line of the map if the current
level extends that far. Just check rx for zero/non-zero.]
This gives the player more control over what autounlock does. It is
now a compound option rather than a boolean, and takes values of
autounlock:none
!autounlock or noautounlock (shortcuts for none)
autounlock:untrap + apply-key + kick + force (spaces are optional
or can be used instead of plus-signs, but can't mix "foo bar+quux")
autounlock (without a value, shortcut for autounlock:apply-key).
Default is autounlock:apply-key.
Untrap isn't implemented (feel free to jump in) so is suppressed from
the 'O' command's new sub-menu for autounlock. It's parsed and
accepted from .nethackrc but won't accomplish anything.
[Just musing: it should be feasible to kick in direction '.' to break
open a container or #force to an adjacent spot to break open a door.
If that was done, autounlock:kick+force (or more likely autounlock:
apply-key+kick+force when lacking a key) would resort to force if hero
couldn't kick due to wounded legs or riding.
This changes struct flags so increments EDITLEVEL again.
This includes pull requests #750 from entrez and #751 from FIQ but was
entered from scratch rather than using use their commits.
Closes#750Closes#751
Add new '|' command, aka #perminv, which allows the player to
send menu scrolling keystrokes to the persistent inventory window.
Implemented for X11, where its usefulness is limited, and for
curses, where it is more needed and also more fully functional.
The interface can either prompt for one keystroke, act upon it,
and return to normal play, or it can loop for multiple keystrokes
until player types <return> or <escape>. X11 does the former if
the 'slow' application resource is False so that prompting uses
popups, and the latter when 'slow' is True where prompting is in
a fixed spot and doesn't end up causing the persistent inventory
window to be stacked behind the map window. curses always does
the loop-until-done approach. It also accepts up and down arrow
keys to scroll one line at a time.
Also adds two new menu scrolling commands, menu_shift_right (key
'}' by default) and menu_shift_left ('{') if wincap2 flags contain
WC2_MENU_SHIFT. Shifting allows different substrings of too-long
lines to be seen.
For X11, neither works because their handling requires a horizontal
scrollbar and for some reason that escapes me our menus don't have
one of those. If they did, shifts could work for all menus but a
shifted window would hide the selection letters. So shifting would
be most usefully done as: pan right, read more of any long lines,
immediately pan back to the left.
For curses, they only apply to the persistent inventory window.
Shift right redraws it with class headers and inventory letters
shown normally but the item descriptions omit their leftmost
portion, showing more text towards the end. Shift left reverses
that and does nothing if the beginning is already in view. Forward
and backward scrolling while shifted leave the shift in place.
Give the window-port side of *_update_inventory() an argument.
Calls in the core still omit that; invent.c's update_inventory()
is the only place that cares.
Turns out it was nearly as simple as I originally thought.
I just missed one significant detail the first time around.
This leaves DYNAMIC_STATUSLINES as conditionl but now enables
it by default. Using 'O' to change 'statuslines' from 2 to 3
or vice versa now works for Qt as well as for curses and tty.
I stated out by changing dat/opthelp to stop shouting the boolean
defaults: [TRUE] -> [True], [FALSE] -> [False]. I ended up doing
a partical reconcilliation between ?g (dynamic list of options)
and ?h (dat/opthelp). There were several inapplicable options in
the dynamic list, so this changes option_help() to avoid those.
I barely glanced at the compound options so they may not sync up.
The pull request changed \ and ` output to unconditionally show
discoveries in alphabetical order. That's nearly useless except
when looking at prediscovered weapons and armor that fighter
types start out knowing.
This allows the player to choose sorting order via the new
'sortdiscoveries' option. In addition to setting it via
config file or 'O', it can be set via 'm' prefix for \ and `.
Choices are:
o - sort by class, by order of discovery in class (default);
s - sort by 'sortloot' classification which groups sub-class
items (so all helmets before any other armor, then all
gloves, then boots, and so on); within each sub-class, or
whole class for classes which don't subdivide so usefully,
partly-discovered types (where a name has been assigned)
come before fully ID'd types;
c - sort by class, alphabetically within class;
a - sort alphabetically across all classes.
Turned out to be a large amount of work for fairly little gain,
although I suspect that 'sortdiscoveries:s' will eventually be
more popular than the default.
Invalidates existing save files so that current sort setting can
persist across save/restore cycles.
Closes#334
"Name of your starting pet when it is a kitten" could be
construed as meaning that it will no longer apply once the
kitten grows into a housecat. Use "if" instead of "when".
The 'other settings' were in alphabetical order except for
"status condition fields" which presumably started out as
"condition fields". Move it into proper place for current
description.
Add a few missing options to dat/opthelp (without worrying about
"if FOO was set at compile time"). No doubt there are lots of
others still missing.
Reword a few options in dat/opthelp and also in the dynamic help
derived from optlist.h, particuarly catname, dogname, horsename
whose descriptions have always been confusing or maybe confused.
The revamped options handling was't doing dynamic help properly.
After listing the booleans, it listed them again amongest the
compound options. Since their description field is Null, that
could be a big problem. sprintf(buf,"%s",NULL) on OSX produces
"(null)" but most sprintf()'s would probably crash instead.
The 'other' options (autopickup exceptions, menucolors, &c) were
not listed at all. (I don't remember whether that was also the
case before the revamp.) Now they're listed but not explained.
The 'msg_window' description was unhelpful; this replaces it.
A couple of others were longer than necessary so they've been
shortened. The rest of optlist.h is reformatting wide lines.
Recently added 'safe_wait' option was included in the Guidebook
but not in dat/opthelp; add it.
A check into github issue 364 confirmed that
ba6edbe5dc
had incorrectly updated the bwrite sizeof entry for sysflags.
The SYSFLAGS and MFLOPPY code is all in the outdated part of the tree, so just
remove it rather than re-correct it.
Closes#364Closes#207

Also, experminental introduction of vt_sounddata to enable tty to pass
a sound file index to the terminal side of things where perhaps someone
can add code to something like hterm to take the information relayed by
NetHack to trigger user_sounds locally even if playing on a server.
Compile time option TTY_SOUND_ESCCODES required to build that support in.
It should be independent of TTY_TILE_ESCCODES.
Somewhat similar to 'mention_walls', 'mention_decor' is a way to
request additional feedback when moving around the map. It reports
furniture or unusual terrain when you step on that. Normally stepping
on furniture only mentions it when it is covered by object(s). And
moving onto (rather than into) water or lava or ice doesn't bother
saying anything at all. With the new option set there will be a
message. It uses Norep so won't repeat when moving from one water
spot to another or one lava spot to another or one ice spot to another
unless there has been at least one intervening message. There is also
a one-shot message when moving from water or lava or ice onto ordinary
terrain (not Norep, just once since there's no land to land message).
Having the verbose flag Off doesn't inhibit these new messages but it
does shorten them: "A fountain." instead of "There is a fountain here."
The Guidebook gets a new subsection "Movement feedback" of the "Rooms
and corridors" section and it covers more than just 'mention_decor'.
As usual, Guidebook.tex is untested.
'mention_decor' persists across save/restore, so 'struct flags' has
changed and EDITLEVEL is being bumped, hence save files are invalided.
Report complained that having autoopen not work when fumbling was
inconvenient and mentioned that the "ouch! you bump into a door"
result didn't take any time. This updates the documentation to
state that autoopen won't work while fumbling (so the inconvenient
behavior persists) but changes movement so that bumping into a door
now takes time. (Despite "ouch!", it doesn't inflict any damage.)
Also, document the recently added autounlock option.
Bite the bullet and add a special purpose boolean option to control
game behavior for random clairvoyance. When objects or monsters are
discovered, it normally issues "you sense your surroundings" and
performs a getpos() operation which allows the player to browse the
map by moving the cursor around and getting 'autodescribe' feedback.
But there have been complaints that once the hero has the Amulet
(which triggers random clairvoyance even though hero isn't flagged
as having that attribute) the message and pause-to-browse become too
intrusive.
This was initially combined with the 'timed clairvoyance' fix because
they both bump EDITLEVEL to invalidate existing save files, but their
details don't interact so I separated them.
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.
The expansion of the extended commands list to include every command
has made picking extended commands out of X11's menu become tedious.
This uses the existing 'extmenu' option (previously tty-only) to
control whether all the commands are present or just the traditional
subset not bound to non-meta keystrokes ('adjust', 'chat', 'loot', &c).
Compound option whatis_filter, filters the eligible map locations
when getting a cursor location for targeting. Accepts 'n' (none),
'v' (map locations in view), or 'a' (map locations in the same area,
eg. room or corridor).
Report #5426 was classified as not-a-bug, but the underlying issue
can be improved.
For item selection where BUCX (bless/curse state) filtering is
supported (mostly for menustyle:Full, but there are a few actions
where Traditional and Combination handle BUCX too), 3.4.3 took the
union of object class and bless/curse state (so ?!B gave all scrolls
and all potions and every blessed item from other classes) but 3.6.0
changed that to the intersection (so ?!B gives blessed scrolls and
blessed potions, period). Since gold is inherently not blessed or
cursed it has been getting excluded during intersection handling
when that includes BUCX filtering. Report #5426 was from a player
who was used to choosing $X when putting newly acquired loot into a
container asking to have the old behavior reinstated.
The ideal fix would be to support both union ($ | X) and intersection
(?! & B), but implementation would be bug prone and the interface,
especially when done for menus, would be cumbersome. Instead, this
adds new boolean option, goldX, to allow the player to decide whether
gold is classified as uncursed--even though it is never described as
such--or unknown. The new-loot-into-container issued can be solved
either via $abcX, where abc lists all classes that have any X items
(when gold is included as one of the classes, its BUCX state is now
ignored for the current selection), or by setting the goldX option
and then just picking X for the types of items to put into the
container (or drop or whatever other action supports BUCX filtering).
The situations where menustyle:Full allows BUCX filtering during
object class specification and styles Traditional and Combination
don't should to be fixed (by extending BUCX support to Traditional
and Combination rather than removing it from Full, obviously).
Make the formatting of 'opthelp' be more consistent. When entries
span multiple lines, sometimes the default value was shown on the
first line, sometimes on the last. This puts it on the first line
which is more useful for quick looks with 'grep'.
This also adds an explanation for the value of 'disclose', adds
missing choice "full compass" to 'whatis_coord', and expands upon
the explanation for several other compound options.
As mentioned at least once before, menu_* is missing win32 in the
list of interfaces that support the various menu accelerators.
Rename the option for adding coordinates to autodescribe feedback for
the '/' and ';' commands from 'getpos_coord' to 'whatis_coord', after
the '/' command that uses it instead of after the internal routine
that implements it. The 'whatis' name was only in dat/hh as far as I
could find, so this changes it to 'what-is' and also updates dat/help
and the Guidebook to mention the name too.
Add a 'screen' choice to the option to show coordinates as row,column
rather than x,y or compass direction(s). Revise the /m, /M, /o, /O
operations of 'what-is' to honor the whatis_coord option (mostly; a
value of 'none' gets overridden by 'map' to force coordinates).
Also, update the description of the functionality of the '/' command
in the Guidebook. The .mn version is tested, the .tex one isn't.
This was a request from a blind player. It's hard to find
the left edge of the menu when it's drawn on the map, so
clear the screen and align menus to the left edge of the screen
when this option is turned off.
Originally this was called the window edge patch.
The option defaults to on, which is the old-style behaviour.
Turning the option off will never omit the "uncursed" -status
from inventory lines. This is pretty much required if users
want to use menucolors based on the BUC state.
