Attempting to untrap an adjacent location failed if you had escaped a
pit, claiming that you couldn't reach. You can't reach the bottom of
the pit if you're not in it, but you should be able to reach adjacent
spots normally.
Prevent food detection--scroll or crystal ball--from noticing the cat
corpse inside SchroedingersBox since its presence is tentative and
resolving its status during detection is a huge can of worms (live cat
placement on map from inside locked box, parallel resolution required
for monster detection/warning/telepathy that would render the box
fairly useless since it would probably end up getting resolved by ESP
before hero gains access).
Prevent cat corpse in the Box from being added to shop bill if unpaid
Box is picked up. That prevents it from being listed as a bought item
if the player buys the box (instead of being described as unknown
contents; an older, more general bug which still hasn't been fixed).
As far as I'm aware, off the revised handling of Schroedingers Cat is
finished.
A copyright header inserted last spring uses the wrong format for a
DCL comment and triggers a couple of warnings about invalid commands.
Some linker hackery added a long time ago draws complaints from the
linker on IA64. This was noticed during the release cycle for 3.6.0
but then went unaddressed.
If hero was carrying Schroedinger's Box at end of game, disclosing
inventory converted it into an ordinary box. That interferred with
subsequent disclosure when writing DUMPLOG, which saw an empty box
if inventory had been shown or the special box with newly-determined
contents if not. I tried a couple of ways to fix it and decided
that redoing it was better in the long run.
Schroedinger's box is still flagged with box->spe = 1, but instead
of having that affect the box's weight, now there is always a cat
corpse in the box. When opened, that will already be in place for
a dead cat or be discarded for a live one, but the weight will be
standard for container+contents and when box->cknown is set it will
always be "containing 1 item" (which might turn out to be a monster).
Some temporary code fixes up old save/bones files to stay compatible.
TODO: food detection used to skip Schroedinger's Box; now it will
always find a corpse, so some fixup like the ridiculous probing code
is needed.
Migrating monster attempting to arrive on a level which is already
full of monsters gets killed off. It was leaving a corpse without
regard for whether it was a type of of monster which should never
leave corpses.
I'd prefer that it be put back on the migrating_mons list rather
than be killed off, but this just suppresses impossible corpses.
Replace an old instance of direct manipulation of an intrinsic.
If life-saving occurs 1 turn before sickness will kill the hero,
the sickness if cured. But it was leaving delated_killer for SICK

When paying for shop door or wall damage, if the entire amount was
covered by shop credit then impossible "zero payment in money2mon"
would occur as the shop code tried to transfer 0 zorkmids from hero

Clean up quite a bit of minor things found with simple grep patterns:
operator at end of continued line instead of beginning of continuation
(and a few comments which produced false matches, so that they won't
do so next time), trailing spaces (only one or two of those), tabs (a
dozen or so of those), several casts which didn't have a space between
the type and the expression (I wasn't systematic about finding these).
I think the only code change was in the function for the help command.
If bogusmon, engrave, epitaph, oralces, or rumors won't open, assume
it's because the file is missing so don't have impossible() tack on
"saving and restoring might fix this" when telling the player.
(Missing rumors or oracles previously only used pline() rather than
impossible() so this hadn't been an issue for them. Now it would be.)
Apparently I exited emacs without saving and the revised vmsbuild.com
ended up as a backup file that 'git nhadd' wouldn't see. This was
supposed to be included in the patch committed several hours ago....
New-ish files 'engrave', 'epitaph', and 'bogusmon' added for 3.6.0
were not handled by playground setup. NetHack runs without them so
limited testing didn't notice.
Add 'makedefs -s' to build them and include them in installed files.
Also, remove 'makedefs -m' and obsolete monstr.c.
I was experimenting with some potential changes to menu searching but
have not been satisfied with the result. However, this bit of code
consolidation is worthwhile regardless of that.
Some of the items in NetHack.ad were separated from others by "!"
comment line rather than plain blank line and that tended to make it
look like the two items were directly related. For the ones which
aren't, remove '!'.
I also expanded some comments and reordered a couple of resources,
moving 'slow' closer to top and advanced 'translations' farther down.
Vampires tend to take vampire bat form and stay that way, unless/until
there's a closed door they want to pass in which case they change to
fog cloud form. Those shifted forms are weak, so pet vampires tend
not to attack other monsters, and if they don't take damage, they
won't change to vampire form. So, when comparing relative strength of
self and foe while deciding whether to attack another monster, treat
their own strength in weak form as if in vampire form, making them be
more aggressive.
Hostile vampires shouldn't need any comparable change. They don't use
relative strengths when deciding whether to attack something.
Fixes#159
The nurse monster definition is flagged to be able to convery poison
resistance when a corpse or tin is eaten, but the post-corpse code
for nurse healed HP and cured blindness then skipped the intrinsic
handling.
Use the make_foo() intrinsic set/reset routines instead of trying
to manipulate the intrinsics directly. Previous patch left Dex
down by 1 if stoning caused wounded legs to be fixed, and left
delayed killer allocated if stoning cured sliming or vice versa.
I tried 'pick all' in the #wizintrinsics' menu and after 30 turns,
died with "poisoned by a poisoned, while vomiting". Food poisioning
and/or terminal illness beat the other fatal conditions to the coup
de gras. However, the final stage of vomiting sets Sick to 0 cure
food poisoning and ends up clobbering the killer reason if Sick is
due to terminal illness. It's feasible for that to happen without
using #wizintrinsic, so this fixes that, and also a few other
combinations that seemed contradictory:
1) limbs turn to stone during Stoned countdown now cures wounded legs;
2) turn to stone (a couple of turns later) cures vomiting and sliming;
3) turning to slime during Slimed countdown cures stoning.
Salvaged from an old, unfinished patch. When checking whether the
hero is trapped by walls and solid rock, adjacent boulders are
evaluated on whether they can be pushed out of the way. Extend that
evaluation: (1) two boulders on a spot are pushable if there is a
pool beyond that spot, and (2) boulders can't be pushed diagonally
in Sokoban.
and over the hero. 3.6.0's clairvoyance tried to show things in
a non-standard sequence, which was intentional but had unintended
side-effects like the disappearing monsters complained about in the
report. To make it work as intended would have required --More--
whenever it kicked in, which is much too intrusive when it happens
every N turns rather than when explicitly casting the spell.
Redo it substantially, and give preference to monsters over objects,
objects over traps, and traps over underlying terrain like normal
vision-based display does. It now detects all monsters within its
bounding box but shows ones which aren't directly in view as
"unseen monster" unless via spell cast at skilled or expert, or at
basic when also having intrinsic clairvoyance.
When #wizinstrinsic was expanded to be able to set any timed attribute,
some that need more than just a timeout counter were left inconsistent.
1) Timed Flying wasn't blocked by levitation, and existing flight
wasn't becoming blocked by timed levitation. Also, eventual flight
timeout wasn't updating the status line, so false 'Fly' condition
remained shown until a status update happened for some other reason.
2) Setting timer for Warn_of_mon didn't set up any type of monster to
warn about so wouldn't do anything. This sets that to grid bug
unless already set due to polymorph form or artifact that warns.
The end.c portion is just a bit of formatting.
Fixes#156
githib issue #156 complains that "The Excalibur falls down the stairs,"
is using poor grammar despite the fact that the usual drop message is
"You drop the +0 Excalibur." I agree. Change it to be "Excalibur
falls down the stairs." (Drop message remains unchanged.)
While looking at that, I noticed that when knocking other items down
stairs, text was being appended to the formatted object name. It was
probably safe due to the space reserved for inserting a prefix while
formatting an object's name, which becomes available for a suffix
after that name has been copied into otransit_msg()'s local buffer,
but using a separate buffer is safer.
Attempting to mount a long worm tail could yield

New: call to panic() in impossible() used arbitrary string as a

potentially serious problem is not limited to USE_OLDARGS.)
Old: revised message string for impossible ("save/restore might fix
this" instead of "perhaps you'd better quit") passed wrong number of
arguments to pline() when using the clumsy VA_PASSx() mechanism (was
missing arg 0 for the fixed-arg format argument).
Old: varargs config_error_add() in files.c wouldn't compile for
USE_OLDARGS. Evidently no one has been impacted by that but this
fixes it anyway. (Two problems: prototype used FDECL() when it
should have been using VDECL(), and calls to config_error_add() in
the same file would need the VA_PASSx() stuff to force presence of
all optional args. I moved it instead of adding the latter.)
Enlightenment feedback for "nudist" was added 3.5 years ago. Ever
since, ^X has been reporting "you are not wearing any armor" when

Since Valkyrie starts in that situation, it's very surprising that no

Followup to 'fix #148' patch: looting a container with menustyle:Full
wasn't offering a chance to remove everything in one go. That was due
to an error I introuduced 2.5 years ago with commit
529dad8ef1 when I changed how the flags
passed to query_category() were being set up. It accidentally switched
'A' from take-out to put-in but the only code to handle 'A' at that
time would take everything out (from container to inventory).
Prior to that, removing everything worked as intended and putting in
everything wasn't supported. Now 'A - autoselect all' is a viable
choice for both in and out.
Fixes#154
With menustyle:Full, picking 'A - autoselect all' when putting items
into a container ran code for taking things out and there wasn't any
corresponding code for putting things in.
Add some put-in-everything code. Taking things out doesn't offer
'A - autoselect all' as a choice so the code mentioned above may now
be dead. Taking everything out seems like something that's much more
likely to be desired than putting everything in.
Hopefully this will be the last one. Change from a text window to

My "fix github issue #38 - indentation vs 'if {}'" patch, commit
d2ae45984e, broke finding unseen

invisible monsters too.
Life-saving was setting u.uswldtim to 0, presumably intending that
to stop the hero from being digested, but it actually resulted in
being totally digested on the swallower's next turn if the death
being short-circuited wasn't digestion. Change life-saving to make
swallower or grabber release the hero instead of tinkering with
u.uswldtim. In addition to rescuing the hero from digestion, it
prevents an eel which has just drowned the hero (who has survived
drowning via life-saving) from pulling him/her back into the water
on its next turn. It will need to make another successful grab to
do that now.
While testing, I noticed that if I was polymorphed and wearing an
amulet of unchanging, life-saving didn't restore my HP-as-a-monster
and due to the recent change to force that to 0 when the hero dies,
I died again immediately after my life was saved. So this bug was
latent in the past and became noticeable in the last couple of days.
Report was for being fried by angry deity. There are lots of deaths
that don't involve subtracting HP until it hits 0 or less; I haven't
bothered tracking down which ones don't set u.uhp to 0 before they
call done().
No effect on life-saving or declining to die except for HP:0 being
visible on the status line during their messages.
Restore handling for keystrokes on PICK_NONE menus so that scrolling
via keys works for them. (That handling was disabled as part of the
patch to support MENUCOLORS.)
Enable [cancel] button for all menus. (That had apparently been
grayed out for PICK_NONE menus since day 1 for X11 windowing.)
Dungeon level wasn't included in ^X output, so it wasn't actually
giving all status fields and attempting to rely on it when turning
off 'status_updates' was leaving a gap in feedback for the player.
Add an extra line to the first section where character's name and
patron deity are reported, giving current location.
|You are in the Dungeons of Doom, on level 5.
or
|You are in the endgame, on the Elemental Plane of Fire.
The information is more explicit than the basic status field, but
you can already get similar information via #overview so it isn't
giving away extra info.
Move some 'roff macros from Guidebook.mn to new file tmac.nh.
Header for tmac.nh is not being updated, even after explicitly adding
it to .gitattributes. I'm not sure what I've done wrong. (I'm using
'git nhadd doc/' here rather than explicit 'git nhadd doc/tmac.nh'.)
In Guidebook.mn, change the ``setenv NETHACKOPTIONS'' example so that
it fits within one line in Guidebook.txt. (I looked at 3.4.3's
edition of that file and the example went not just beyond the margin
of the formatted text but beyond 80 columns, so wrapped in an ugly
fashion.) I had previously changed 'autoquiver' to 'color' to shorten
it, now have changed '!autopickup' to '!leg' to show an example of
truncated option name as well as shorten, and also 'fruit:papaya' to
'fruit:lime' to squeeze out the last two columns needed to fit within
the text margin while retaining 'name:Blue Meanie' as requested.
Guidebook.txt shows both NETHACKOPTIONS examples with indentation
suppressed, Guidebook.ps uses normal indentation (evidently using a
narrower font, even with \f(CR (constant-width Roman) to approximate
TeX's \tt, since the indented example fits fine and looks better).
Some Guidebook.tex catchup. I suspect that lots of bits and bobs
don't match between Guidebook.mn and Guidebook.tex these days.
Particularly quoting and variant font (italics, bold, \tt) usage.
Also the recently added box around the sample screenshot. This
modifies the screenshot to match Guidebook.mn's, reflecting change
in status field spacing by STATUS_HILITES.

This is usually fixed on a case by case basis. Any attempt to add
blanket encumbrance check mid-turn (when updating status, for instance)
is sure to introduce message sequencing problems. Perhaps such a check
could be added at the end of the hero's move....
This fix handles the cases where prayer causes a change to strength:
major: fix starvation, minor: fix weak from hunger, boon: golden glow
(restore strength and satisfy hunger--probably no-ops in this regard
or would have had trouble fixed rather than receive a boon). Directly
curing stat loss (minor: poisoned) already dealt with encumbrance.

Not at all related. That movement bug affected 3.6.0 but was fixed in
3.6.1.
When trapped in a web, trying to move while wielding Sting gives the
message "Sting cuts through the web." In 3.6.1 and earler, that
also released you from the trap, but with 3.6.2-beta nothing happens.
It had nothing to do with the recent web spinning patch. My change
to have being trapped block levitating and flying included replacing
a lot of direct manipulations of u.utrap with set_utrap() and
reset_utrap() in order to keep the lev/fly blocking and unblocking
localized. Unfortunately, the old 'u.utrap = 0' when wielding Sting
while stuck in web was deleted in error at that time.
While looking at something else, I noticed that newsym() was checking
for pool and lava by examining the terrain type directly rather than
using the pool and lava checks, so it would never show a gas cloud at
a closed drawbridge (the spot in front of the portcullis). Level's
terrain at a closed drawbridge spot is DRAWBRIDGE_UP; need to look at
drawbridgemask field to figure out whether the accessible terrain at
that spot is moat or lava.
Change the extended command section from a mixture of

which results in a longer document but the extended commands section
is much easier to read.
No change to Guidebook.txt, where the previous command name padding
was wide enough to accomplish the same for fixed-width tty font.
There is an update to that though; a previous change omitted it.
This started out as some formatting cleanup for src/windows.c but

In 3.6.1, some code in mfind0(detect.c) was mis-indented in a way
which suggested that the grouping within braces might not be what was
intended, and that was right--there was a pair of braces missing when
compared with older versions of the code involved. A previous patch
(post-#38) had changed the indentation to match the surrounding braces
without really addressing the issue. But it turned out not to make
any difference either way since mundetected is only used by hiders
and eels. This reorganizes the relevant code to make it simpler to
understand, I hope.
Change instances of 'C' and ``C'' to `C'.
Change a few double quotes, "..." to ``...''.
Remove some trailing spaces (for Guidebook.mn too).
One tweak in wording: for #offer, ``use `m' to skip items on altar''
followed by ``you'll need to find an altar'' sounded strange. Move the
``skip items on altar'' sentence after the ``need an altar'' sentence.
Replace `C' and 'C' with \(oqC\(cq (open and close single quote).
For plain text output, the new form generates the first form. Most
single quotes were using that, but there was quite a bit of C-style
char quoting that was somewhat inconsisent.
There are several text changes too, mostly small. The few I can
remember are
replacing several ``#twoweapon'' with `X';
pets: change 'cat' to 'kitten' and mention that horses are
vegetartian where it claims that pets usually feed themselves;
NETHACKOPTIONS: add `bash' to the shells mentioned,
describe `NETHACKOPTIONS=@filename' better,
shorten the example (it's still too long for Guidebook.txt);
Configuring Status Hilites: expand the `behavior' descriptions
to mention the value limits for percentage and absolute, and
include post-3.6.1 '<=' and '>=' for them,
add omitted fields `hunger' and `title' to text match.
I also changed a bunch of examples in the option configuation section
from bold font to constant-width Roman which more closely resembles
the \tt font in TeX. Probably a whole bunch of other bold items
ought to follow suit.
Issues:
title for section 9.3 (NETHACKOPTIONS) is too close to the sample
config file at the end of section 9.2;
as mentioned above, the sample ``setenv NETHACKOPTIONS foo'' is
much too long for Guidebook.txt, and ``NETHACKOPTIONS=foo'' is
slightly too long; they're ok in Guidebook.ps (assuming default
page size);
does `WIZKIT=~/wizkit.txt' actually work? That's the example shown.
I started out updating Guidebook.mn to use \(oq and \(cq for single
quotes but ended up including some new text. I've separated that
part out (there are a few instances of altered quoting in the midst
of it--the separation wasn't 100%) to commit separately.
Add verbiage to "choosing race" and several commands: f, s, S, t,
w, and ^X.
Change `E-' and `w-' to use minus sign instead of hyphen. The TeX

those dashes be more prominent.
Fix typo/thinko in `IX': Guidebook.mn and Guidebook.txt said that
displayed inventory items whose bless/curse state is "known".
Guidebook.tex had it right, "unknown".
Dead hero's map coordinates are set to <0,0> part way through bones
creation, then were being used to record grave location for overview
feedback with "final resting place for <dead hero>" if/when another
character got those bones and found the grave (actually, spotted the
location where first hero died regardless of whether a grave gets
placed there). Record dead hero's pre-<0,0> coordinates as intended.
Not previously noticed because in wizard mode the final resting place
becomes part of overview info as soon as bones are loaded rather than
waiting for the death location to be reached.
Putting a box around the simulated screenshot has a side-effect of
forcing it to the next page if there isn't room on the current page.
And it looks at least as good as the old top and bottom horizontal
lines, if not better. This also eliminates the blank left-most
column (relative to those lines) which isn't part of the screenshot.
There are issues:
1) for Guidebook.ps, the "Figure 1" label underneath seems to be
too close to the box; I didn't try to force a blank line in front
of it because that increases the risk of pushing it to the next
page if the figure lands at the bottom;
2) for Guidebook.txt, the "Figure 1" label actually overwrites the
bottom line of the box, and the embedded space allows the line
to show through: "---Figure-1---"; I tried using "\ Figure\ 1\ "
to see if that might hide the issue by making it seem that the
label in intended to be on that line, but it didn't help--
unbreakable-space evidently does not imply always-visible-space;
3) the box is one column wider than the rest of the document (the
previous horizontal lines were two or three columns wider, so
this is actually a tiny imrovement); squeezing out some whitespace
to make the status lines narrower didn't help--or at least not
enough; squeezing some spaces was needed to match STATUS_HILITES-
era status formatting anyway.
4] if there was a footnote (we have some for trademarks) on the same
page as the screenshot, either the footnote or the table would
probably become confused, perhaps both. I think we just pretend
that that will never come up....
5} I've made no attempt to alter Guidebook.tex to try to match.
I'm throwing in the towel. Fixing this up is way beyond my limited
'roff/tbl capability. (There's probably a much more straightforward
way to achieve what we want.)
I may not get around to doing anything with 'C' vs `C' vs \(oqC\(cq
for a while. Bring Guidebook.txt up to date now rather than waiting
so that the repository's copy reflects the #H7444 fix.
This has ended up with substantial spurious differences due to it
placing padding in different spots during line justification. I
hope that's due to different groff version using a slightly different
algorithm rather than something like phase of the moon. :-]

Make being trapped in/on/over floor block Levitation and Flying, the
way that being inside solid rock already does, and the way levitating
blocks flight.
Blocked levitation still provides enhanced carrying capacity since
magic is attempting to make the hero's body be bouyant. I think that
that is appropriate but am not completely convinced.
One thing that almost certainly needs fixing is digging a hole when
trapped in the floor or tethered to a buried iron ball, where the
first part of digactualhole() releases the hero from being trapped.
If being released re-enables blocked levitation, the further stages
of digging might not make sense in some circumstances.
I recently realized that being held by a grabbing monster is similar
to being trapped so should also interfere with levitation and flying.
Nothing here attempts to address that.
Save files change, but in a compatible fashion unless trapped at the
time of saving. If someone saves while trapped prior to this patch,
then applies it and restores, the game will behave as if the patch
wasn't in place--until escape from trap is achieved. (Not verified.)
Fix the situation of Flying hero failing to untrap a bear trap that
was resulting in the trap becoming hidden. Previous fix prevented
hero from moving onto the trap's location so that the reason for
hiding it didn't occur. This moves the hero and forces the trap,
so it will become unhidden again before there's any chance to notice
that it had been hidden.
Status 'Flying' conflicts with being trapped at floor level, but that
is a separate, known issue. I'll have to resurrect my unfinished fix
for that sooner rather than later.
For the searching capability offered by '# ?', use ':' instead of 's'

There are now five wizard-mode boolean options: monpolycontrol,
sanity_check, and wizweight are documented in the Guidebook;
menu_tab_sep and travel_debug are commented out there.
Guidebook.mn has been tested; Guidebook.tex has not.
Description for use when an item hasn't been seen up close yet falls
back to real name if there is no separate description, but was doing
so before real name substitution for samurai.
actualn = foo;
dn = description ? description : actualn;
if (Samurai)
actualn = bar;
So player saw a flail (via 'dn') until dknown bit got set, then
nunchaku (via 'actualn' after it got set to samurai-specific value).
Wait until after substitution of Japanese real names before falling
back to real name when there's no description.
Iron bars can be destroyed in some circumstances (hit by yellow
dragon breath or thrown potion of acid, being eaten by rust monser
or black pudding, or by poly'd hero in those forms) and should act
like walls for diggable/non-diggable purposes. But they aren't
walls, so the non-diggable flag was not being set for them by the
special level loader. Even once that was changed, they weren't
being handled consistently. Some places checked for non-diggable
directly (zap_over_floor of acid breath, potion of acid hitting bars)
and started working as intended, others used may_dig() to check
non-diggable (poly'd hero attempting to eat iron bars) but it doesn't
handle iron bars, and still others didn't check at all (bars-eating
monster who moved onto bars location in expectation of eating those
next).
Reorganize the logic for showing or suppressing an extended command
to avoid a slightly hairy 'foo || bar && quux' expression.
When searching and not finding anything, report "no matches" rather
just waiting for another menu selection.
Plus miscellaneous reformatting.
Get rid of bold/non-bold distinction in #wizidentify inventory menu
by only showing items which aren't yet fully identified instead of
full inventory with bold for unID'd. Support for bold text might
be lacking.
I was considering this even before the report that X11 menus ignore
attribute. The "_ - (use ^I for all)" menu entry is still present,
but it could be discarded in favor of '.' to pick everything via
ordinary menu selection.
Most shop messages accurately identify the shopkeeper even when he
or she can't be seen, but some also include a pronoun reference that
ended up as "it" or "its" when not seen. Extend pronoun selection
so that visibility can be ignored: noit_mhe(mon), noit_mhim(mon),
and noit_mhis(mon). Note that despite being called noit_foo(),
those will still return "it" if mon is neuter.
"Accurately identify shopkeeper" is misleading if the hero is
hallucinating; a random shopkeeper name is used then. noit_foo()
yields the pronoun applicable to the actual shopkeeper and might
not match the gender of a hallucinatory name. That could be fixed
in a couple of ways (add shk_mhe()/shk_mhim()/shk_mhis() and either
pass them the randomly chosen name so that they can figure out the
appropriate gender, or just have them use a random gender whenever
hallucinating) but I don't think that's worth bothering with.
A bunch of shop messages needed noit_foo(); only a couple of those
have actually been tested. A bunch more were using shkname() at
the beginning of a sentence where Shknam() should be used instead.
(All the existing shk names are already capitalized so there's no
noticeable difference.)
The three places outside shk.c and vault.c which directly use
pronoun_gender() have been successfully tested.
Fixing rnd_otyp_by_namedesc() for use by get_shiny() broke its use
by readobjnam(). Make the chance for 0% generation objects to have
non-zero chance of being selected be a parameter.
Fixes#134
An invisible hero (who can't see invisible and doesn't have autopickup
enabled) going down stairs to an object which fell down those stairs
will see the stairs instead of the object on them. Missing newsym()
in obj_delivery() when objects aren't being passed through scatter().
The wishing code uses 'oc_prob + 1' so that probability 0 (never
random) objects are eligible to be selected if their name matches
a wish; collecting 'shiny' objects shouldn't do that. (No effect
on play since there aren't any shiny objects with 0% random chance.)
rn2() takes int, and total oc_prob for entire objects[] array is
15000, so don't accumulate the target probability in a long.
Fixes#132
This is based on the commit for github pull request #132, which
indicates that the 'grow' pattern is reversed from what the .des
file specifies. I don't understand how this is really supposed
to work and the only place nethack uses it is on the Valkyrie Home
level, which seems to be created roughly the same both before and
after this change.
Factor some common code for missile launching traps into a seprate
routine.
Reorder the prototypes for static routines in trap.c into the same
order as theose functions appear in the file.
Change the phrasing when a pet grows up into another monster type:
(old) "The pony grows up into a horse."
(new) "Your pony grows up into a horse."
No effect if it has been assigned a name:
(before and after) "Foo grows up into a horse."
Eliminate a few warnings: array name used as boolean is always true,
parameter 'flags' shadows (blocks access to) global struct 'flags',
initializer discards 'const' (assigning string literal to 'char *').
Plus a couple of simplifications.
Wishing for "orange" might grant an orange, but it might give an
orange gem, orange potion, or orange spellbook instead (but never
orange dragon scales or orange dragon scale mail). Force the food
object to be an exact match so wishing always produces an orange.
A polymoprh zap which creates a long worm can hit and transform the
same monster again depending upon tail segment placement. Similar
behavior occurs if monpolycontrol is set in wizard mode and player
chooses 'long worm' for what to transform an existing one into (in
which case polymorph fails and zap might hit that same worm again
in another segment, prompting player to choose its new shape again).
Simplest fix would be to make tail segments be immune to polymorph,
but that would prevent players from deliberately attacking the tail
(for polymorph attacks only). Next simplest would be to make long
worms M2_NOPOLY so that polymorph can't create them, then just live
with multiple promptings when monpolycontrol is set. This fix
tracks whether a long worm has just been created via polymorph (or
explicitly retained its shape via monpolycontrol) and makes further
hits on same creature on same zap have no effect. It does so by
setting mon->mextra->mcorpsenm to PM_LONG_WORM when a long worm is
result of polymorph, and setting context.bypasses to get end-of-zap
cleanup. (It doesn't bother discarding mon->mextra if reset of
mcorpsenm leaves mextra empty.)
The report was "doesn't kill even if unchanging", but it does cause
rehumanize() when not Unchanging, the same thing that happens when
you die due to loss of hit points. But losing the activating word(s)
and then having Unchanging retain the clay golem shape does seem
wrong, so make losing the word(s) while being unable to revert to
normal form be fatal.
Poly'd hero (without Unchanging) reverts to normal when cancelled,
so make monsters behave that way. Previously, only werecritters in
beast form were forced to human form. This changes cancellation to
make shapechangers and hiding mimics take on normal form too.
Cancelled shapechangers now behave as if the hero has the
Protection_from_shape_changes attribute and will be unable to change
their shape (after having been forced into normal form). Getting
polymorphed in any fashion uncancels them prior to giving new shape.
[There may be some newcham() situations that should be disallowed
when cancelled rather proceeding and consequently uncancelling.]
Bug report #H7156 listed three items, all relating to perm_invent:
1) it shouldn't persist across save/restore since restore might be
on a system which doesn't have enough room to display it (report
actually complained that config file setting was ignored when
restoring old games, which is an expected side-effect for options
that persist across save/restore);
2) permanent inventory wasn't updated when using scroll of charging;
3) attempts to update permanent inventory during restore could lead
to crash if it tries to access shop cost for unpaid items.
Items (2) and (3) have already been fixed. This fixes (1).
Replace 'flags.perm_invent' with a dummy flag, preserving save files
while removing it from flags. Add 'iflags.perm_invent' to hold the
value of the perm_invent option.
The win32 files that are updated here haven't been tested. Whichever
branch contains the curses interface needs to be updated; ditto for
any other pending/potential interfaces which support perm_invent.
Fixes#133
Monsters who lost an amulet of life saving while having their life
saved wouldn't attempt to put on another amulet unless/until they
picked up some object. Likewise if they had a worn item stolen.
(There are probably other events which should re-check worn gear.)
The suggested commit had a life-saved monster re-check equipment
during life-saving which might have led to reports about them
effectively getting extra moves, especially if two-weapon fighting
or zap rebound with sequence of kill/life-save/kill-again allowed
the target to put on a replacement amulet of life-saving prior to
the second kill. It also wasn't amenable to dealing with stolen
equipment. This alternate fix sets a flag to have monster check
its equipment on its next move.
Jumping performs the placement of the last step after using hurtle()
to move to the destination, so if hurtle() triggered a trap then it
would happen twice. Report was for a Sokoban pit but it would happen
for fire traps too. Other traps would yield "you pass over <trap>"
while hurtling and then trigger the trap when landing. Have
hurtle_step() ignore a trap for the last step of a jump, leaving it
to the jump's landing to handle.
Also, give feedback when hurtling over water or lava, similar to what
happens when passing over a previously seen trap which doesn't
activate.
This started as some formatting cleanup but I've added a couple of
additional terrain features which can act as web support (stairs up
and ladder up).
The message "<Spider> spins a web" was given if you could detect or
sense <spider> rather than see it. I've changed that to only happen
if you see the new web appear rather than the critter spinning it
(it only becomes an unseen trap if you don't watch it appear).
After spinning a web, a spider can't spin another one until 4d4 moves
have elapsed. That seems suitable when the spider can be seen but
isn't really adequate throttling when the spider is far away--it can
end up spinning a lot of webs by the time you get to its vicinity.
Perhaps it shouldn't be able to spin a new web if there is already
one with N steps of its location?
The temporary highlight types 'goes-up' and 'goes-down' aren't useful
for the three string status fields (title, dungeon-level, alignment)
since the string values might go up when the underlying value goes up
or might go down instead (and similarly for down, down, up). The code
involved can compare strings but the values are effectively arbitrary
so the comparison is only really useful for same vs changed. This
treats types 'up' and 'down' for strings as 'changed' when coming from
config file and no longer offers them as choices when using 'O'.
Config file parsing perhaps ought to treat them as errors instead.
I noticed that the description of ^O still referred to the 3.6.0
behavior (either #wizwhere or #overview depending upon play mode)
rather than the 3.6.1 behavior (unconditional #overview).
While updating that I changed a bunch of "Wizard-mode" references
to "Debug mode" which is the proper end-user name.
I slightly expanded the descriptions of #wizdetect, #wizgenesis,
\#wizintrinsic, WIZKIT, and Debug mode, and removed at least one
out of date reference to debug mode being a conditional feature.
And for most of the stuff I was looking at, I changed the nroff
source to honor the roff guideline of having each sentence start
on its own line (and also the latex source to use those same line
breaks even though they don't need it).
Not done: a lot of quoted single characters use 'c' instead of `c'
(pair of ticks rather than back-tick and normal tick). One form
or the other should be changed so that they're all consistent.
I'm pretty this was mentioned the last time it was formatted for
the web site.
