- can shift into fog clouds, vampire bats, and vampire lords into wolves
- after being "killed" in shifted form, they transform back rather than get
destroyed, and you must take them on in vampire form to defeat them
- can deliberately shift into fog clouds to pass under closed doors
This patch increments editlevel making existing save and bones files useless.
Add polywarn() code to grant the ability to detect certain monster
types while polymorphed into other specific monster types.
If you polymorph into a vampire or vampire lord, you are able to
sense humans.
And just for fun, if you polymorph into a purple worm, you are able to
sense shriekers :-)

Ensure that the corpse ends up buried in that case.
- store the variety of tin at tin creation time
rather than at tin-opening time (as a negative
value in spe just as homemade was; spinach
is still spe 1)
Allow wishing for a particular variety of tin
from the tin variety list:
"deep fried", "boiled","broiled","candied"
"dried", "french fried", "homemade"
"pickled", "pureed", "rotten", "sauteed"
"smoked", "soup made from", "stir fried",
"szechuan"
Example: "tin of soup made from orc"
non-debug player could randomly fail on the
variety specification 1 in 4 times
Another batch of missing Half_physical_damage checks
from the list provided by <Someone>:
- Scrolls of fire (!confused)
- Broken wands
- Splattered burning oil from thrown potion
- Dipping a lit lamp into a potion of oil
- Scrolls of fire (confused, didn't bother with non-confused)
- Being caught in a fireball
Adds a macro Maybe_Half_Phys to assist.

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
Bones loading was only checking to see if a
monster was marked extinct, it wasn't adding
up the born count of a species in the current
game with the number of that species on the
bones level being loaded. That made it possible
to exceed the correct number of nazgul and
erinys via bones.
This adds a common routine called propagate()
that makemon() and restmonchn(ghostly) share,
for incrementing the born count and checking for
extinction, etc.
When a bones level is loaded, restmonchn()
will flag an illegal monster (duplicated unique,
or too many of a species) by setting the
individual monster's mhpmax to the cookie
value DEFUNCT_MONSTER. Before getbones() finishes
loading the bones level, it will purge those
monsters from the chain.
[B04003 and B04004 are still marked "Reported"]

I encountered a look vs pickup cockatrice corpse
bug today.
If you looked at a location with ':', you
would instantly get
"Touching the cockatrice corpse is a fatal mistake..."
but if you used "m," you got the full list of
things at the location to choose from.
This patch makes the behaviour consistent
and more informative to the player.
You now get the partial list of things felt
up until the cockatrice corpse is encountered,
and then you get the
"Touching the cockatrice corpse is a fatal mistake..."
Before, the code was never displaying the partially
built list because the feel_cockatrice() call was
happening before the window display call.
add another bit to the flags passed to launch_obj so it can print
the initial "rumbling" message at the appropriate time rather than
having the caller print the message, possibly out of order.

Applying at the water location next to you was easy. But
applying it at your own location (triggering BY_YOU) could
end up placing the figurine at the far side of the level if
there was lots of water.
Correcting that required the ability to pass a flag from
make_familiar to makemon() telling it to not rule out
water locations as good positions. The flag had to
be passed on down to goodpos() and enexto().
The bulk of this patch is just adding an additional
argument to goodpos() in all of the callers.
Addresses reports R718, R772.1, <Someone> P's extra move bug
- when there is a previously seen path or a straight path, always take it
- incorporate fix to ensure no extra "." turn at the end of traveling, but
still avoid stepping into traps/pools, et al
- include a general "G"-command (and travel) fix to avoid stepping in
known pools/lava while blind
- when there is no such path, "guess" at a path by finding an intermediate
location that the hero couldsee that is closest to the actual goal, the
intermediate goal is re-determined at each step
- when Blind, don't use couldsee for determining straight paths, just direction
- do not consider doors or most boulders obstacles for picking travel
paths, test_move has a new mode to differentiate this case from the regular
test case
- don't include known trap locations in the travel path, avoids unnecessary
stops along the way, and usually doesn't affect the path length
- reformatted the code a bit so I could follow it
If you stepped on an unknown rolling boulder trap, and that rolling boulder
hit a monster and killed it, you would be called a killer. This makes
playing a pacifism conduct game rather difficult.
- track boulders from unknown rolling boulder traps, and don't charge/credit
hero if they kill monsters. This is done by temporarily setting otrapped on
such boulders.
- boulders from known traps are still charged/credited to the hero
- fix a couple places in ohitmon where is_poisonable wasn't checked along
with opoisoned.
I was asked how a window-port controls which options are
set to SET_IN_FILE, DISP_IN_GAME, or SET_IN_GAME.
This provides a run-time way to change an option's SET_IN_FILE,
DISP_IN_GAME, or SET_IN_GAME status through code, rather
than clog up options.c with a lot of compile-time #ifdefs
for different ports to offer different default option settings.
Update the documentation to reflect this.
This adds the BUC-patch, except that it includes four separate choices for
blessed/cursed/uncursed/unknown. The patch only applies to full menu styles.
