Dungeon Map Overview Patch for Nethack 3.4.3
Version 3
=============================================================================
Changelist:
v3: Changed #level to #annotate to avoid #levelchange collision. Fixed
handling of elemental planes and astral plane (oops). Changed
formatting to be slightly closer to print_dungeon()'s. Should be
"final" version for 3.4.3.
v2: Added tracking of trees. Changed ctrl-m command to ctrl-o. Portals
displayed as "sealed" instead of "closed".
v1: First release.
(Note: all versions are mutually save compatible.)
=============================================================================
This patch creates a dungeon map overview that is recorded as the player
explores the dungeon. I was tired of returning to a game a few days later
and having no idea what the dungeon looked like. Trying to name pieces
of armor with shorthand didn't work so well as an intermediate solution
either, especially around nymphs.
It can be assumed that this map is in the mind of the hero and thus
can't be stolen, can be read when blind, or when buried, or when the hero
doesn't have any hands, or eyes, or hands free, or...etc. On the other hand,
this implies that the hero doesn't remember all of the details ("a fountain",
"some fountains", "many fountains") and that the map is subject to amnesia
when applicable.
This overview tracks fountains, altars, stores, temples, sinks, thrones,
trees, and dungeon branches. It attempts to not spoil the player nor
reveal more information than the hero knows. For this reason, it only
tracks dungeon features found in the guidebook and dungeon branches.
This patch breaks save file compatibility. Sorry.
Added commands
=============================================================================
#overview (ctrl-o, if not in wizard mode) - displays overview
#annotate (ctrl-n, if using numpad) - names current level
Example Output From #overview
=============================================================================
The Dungeons of Doom: levels 1 to level 15
Level 1:
A fountain
Level 3: (My stash.)
An altar, some fountains
Stairs down to The Gnomish Mines
Level 7:
Many fountains
Level 8:
Stairs up to Sokoban, level 7
Level 15:
A general store
Sealed portal to The Quest
The Gnomish Mines: levels 4 to level 7
Level 7: <- You are here
Many stores, some fountains, a temple
More Details
=============================================================================
The overview shows only levels that have anything interesting to display and
doesn't show branches that don't have any interesting levels.
To avoid the map revealing more information than the hero knows, the overview
only displays things that the hero has seen or touched. (If the hero
blinds herself, levitates above a known fountain, and obliterates it with a
wand of digging, the overview will still say that there is a fountain.)
This is done, sadly, by adding 6 bits to the rm struct to track the last
known dungeon type. On the other hand, this change could potentially allow
a window port to do something like drawing an item and a fountain on the same
square.
Things That Could Be Better And Maybe Some Feedback Would Help
=============================================================================
"<- You Are Here" is pretty goofy
-...but an indicator of some sort is nice.
=============================================================================
Many thanks to all the kind folks on r.g.r.n. who had very good feedback
about this patch, in particular L (for the trees), <Someone> Papaganou (for the
#annotate suggestion and some formatting feedback), and <Someone> (for the suggestion
of just overriding ctrl-o instead of using the very broken ctrl-m.)
=============================================================================
20060311. Hojita Discordia. (My usenet email is bogus. Sorry.)
o Add support for zlib compression via ZLIB_COMP in config.h (ZLIB_COMP
and COMPRESS are mutually exclusive).
o rlecomp and zerocomp are run time options available if RLECOMP and
ZEROCOMP are defined, but not turned on by default if either COMPRESS
or ZLIB_COMP are defined.
o Add information to the save file about internal compression options
used when writing the save file, particularly rlecomp and zerocomp
support.
o Automatically adjust rlecomp and zerocomp (if support compiled in)
when reading in an existing savefile that was saved with those options
turned on. Still allows writing out of savefile in preferred format.
o In order to support zlib and not conflict with compress and uncompress
routines there, the NetHack internal functions were changed to
nh_uncompress and nh_compress as done in the zlib contribution received
in 1999 from <Someone>.
I tagged the sources NETHACK_3_5_0_PREZLIB prior to applying these
changes.
This provides the core support needed for status field highlighting.
This patch doesn't actually perform status field highlighting for any port,
but provides the core hooks for doing so.
The syntax is:
OPTIONS=hilite_status:{fieldname}/{threshold}/{below}/{above}
where {fieldname} is the name of a status field.
{threshold} is the value used as the threshold to trigger a display
change. It can also be set to "updown" to trigger
a display change whenever it rises or whenever it falls.
If you end the threshold value with %, then it signifies
that you want to trigger the display change based on the
percentage of maximum.
{below}, {above}
are the color or display attribute that you want to use when
the field value is underneath the threshold. Supported display
fields are: normal, inverse, bold, black, red, green,
brown, blue, magenta, cyan, gray, orange,
bright-green, yellow, bright-blue, bright-magenta,
bright-cyan, or white.
Valid field names are:
alignment, armor-class, carrying-capacity,
charisma, condition, constitution, dexterity,
dungeon-level, experience-level, experience,
gold, HD, hitpoints-max, hitpoints, hunger,
intelligence, power-max, power, score,
strength, time, title, wisdom
Refer to window.doc for details. Guidebook updates to come later.
Introduction of a new set of window port status display
routines. The new routines are conditional on
STATUS_VIA_WINDOWPORT
being defined in config.h. See the experimental section,
where the #define resides for the time being.
For now, the code is conditional on BARGETHROUGH
being defined, while it gets tested further. While behavior is
different with and without BARGETHROUGH defined, savefiles
are the same either way.
After this patch is applied, only the riders have the M3_DISPLACES
bit set, but the Wizard and Vlad probably should too. Any others?
Add config.h experimental option AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTIONS.
It's an interface-only change which allows you to add lines to your
config file to selectively avoid autopickup of items based on their
text description that is displayed when you pick them up. It does
it by matching a pattern against the xname singular return value.
For example:
autopickup_exception = "*corpse" will avoid picking up corpses, even if
food (%) is in your pickup_types.
autopickup_exception = "*brown*"
will avoid picking up any brown items (why, I do not know)
autopickup_exception = "*loadstone"
will NOT avoid picking up loadstones, unless they are already
identified, because the xname string will be "gray stone", so no
match there.
The matching has no knowledge of in-game objects, it is just
a text pattern match, thus it is an interface change, not a gameplay
change, and it is meant as a convenience for players.
Prompted by a question from Pat a long time back, this change finally allows
tiles or text map mode to be chosen dynamically at runtime (using the
"tiled_map" option) rather than having to pick it via an X resource and
keep your selection until you exit. This brings map mode selection up to a
level similar to most other graphical window ports.
In addition, the map mode automatically switches to text on the Rogue
level, also like other graphical window ports.
The default mode for the X11 binary is now tiles, once again, like most (all?)
other graphical window ports.
The patch also removes some dead X11 code that is unlikely to be useful again.
This old conditional was targeted for Apple compilers in a Unix
environment (probably A/UX, which hasn't been sold in over 10
years). It now interferes with installations under MacOS X.
This uses pmatch() as a default pattern matcher,
and #defines USER_SOUNDS_REGEX for Qt
to enable the code for regular expressions.
This is enabled for win32tty and win32gui.
Add an optional paniclog file, controlled by a new PANICLOG macro that can
be used to log all panic and impossible messages. Helpful when people
forget to send, or didn't see, the message.
These changes clean up build warnings and allow the resulting "NetHack"
Application icons to be dragged around freely in the Finder, as is expected
for Mac apps.
