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.
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.

Various other topology changes had the same problem. The display
was only being updated if the hero was invisible on the assumption that
it wouldn't matter otherwise, but a blind character who moved off the
affected location would still have the old map info (fountain, trap, &c)
shown--until he walked back onto that spot or searched next to it or
regained sight--even though the player is told about the map change as
it happens.
Prevent burying a ball from ending your punishment.
When you bury the ball, internally NetHack Punishment
ceases, but a new trap type of TT_BURIEDBALL immediately
kicks in (acting similar to TT_INFLOOR in some ways).
You can eventually work the ball free (or teleport, etc.),
but that will just return you back to normal Punishment.
3.4.1 included a change which requires you to be able to use hands
in order to manipulate containers; that makes sense but has introduced
an unintended side-effect. It has become much harder to uncurse a
two-handed weapon or combination of a one-handed weapon and a shield
because you can't get scrolls or potions out of your bag. This adds a
new major trouble for prayer to address that, escalating it above the
normal minor cursed item trouble. It also removes a nonsensical check
for combination of two-handed weapon and shield that I added long ago.
Not related, but same file: add the missing artifact touch checks
for putting on accessories (quest amulets and lenses). I can't remember
if this was From a bug report.
You won't be hallucinating at the end of a prayer which reveals
the Castle passtune even if you were hallucinating before hand, so
there's no point in adding joke messages in that case. Also, you
can't pray while unconscious, so ignore the soundok flag when dealing
with that tune; otherwise the player could toggle that option off in
order to bypass the tune result in favor of the golden glow effect.
Instead of adding a new artifact.h to pray.c, remove the existing
ones from attrib.c, invent.c, and mkobj.c. This also updates the Unix
and VMS editions of Makefile.src; having stale dependencies in those
for other ports could cause unnecessary recompilation but can't break
anything in this case.
The change to fix a typo of `max(action,2)' to `min(action,2)'
for the trouble fixing effect of prayer made it impossible to get
rid of a loadstone or welded weapon by praying at non-altar locations.
That's an awfully drastic change in game balance for a typo fix....
This boosts the 2 to a 3, allowing the worst minor trouble to be
eligible for fixing.
That's a one line change; the rest of this is stuff that I've
been waffling over about whether to hold for the next big release or
to include in the patch release. It cleans up the trouble handling
code a bit--particularly the two competing choices for selecting a
piece of cursed equipment--and adds fumbling and cursed saddle as new
categories of minor trouble.
Noticed while testing something recently: if you're wearing
a non-cursed ring of levitation but can't remove it because of
some other cursed item, you'll never get the high priority result
of TROUBLE_LEVITATION when praying. This remedies that.

- Don't guarantee high results when you have high Luck, add Luck into
random param of rn1(), and just add 1 to the basis, keeping the guaranteed
fix of a single major trouble mentioned in the block comment
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.
Don't report that undead monsters are "turning to flee"
when they're about to be made peaceful or killed outright,
and add a missing alignment fixup for the case where they do
get made peaceful.
Also, a trivial bit that only matters when using wizard
mode to wish for altars. To #offer the Amulet you need to be
on the Astral level rather than just anywhere in the endgame.
Addresses the follwing missing updates:
- Quest Artifact identification by Quest Leader.
- Rust damage from a rust trap.
- Remove curse as a result of prayer (both fixing TROUBLE_CURSED_* and
the blessed-remove-curse boon.)
- Charging via PYEC
Add absent prototypes to some core routines.
Also add some port function() to function(void) in some win32 routines.
Also updates the Borland C Makefile for win32.
When potions of full healing got added, they included the
ability to restore lost experience levels when blessed ones are
quaffed. This patch throttles them so that when multiple levels
have been lost, drinking multiple potions can only restore half
of those levels. Also, it prevents them from fixing any level
loss which occurs if you polymorph into a "new man" (or woman
or dwarf, &c, where you can gain or lose up to 2 levels).
This also makes the "golden glow" prayer result be at least
as good as blessed full healing by restoring a lost level instead
of giving 5 extra hit points when you have any recoverable lost
levels pending.
And tangentially related: gaining a level while polymorphed
now gives your current monster form an extra hit die in addition
to the latent boost your normal human/whatever form gets.
