Reorganize the recent wizard mode control: move set_playmode() from
xxxmain.c to the core, and have it call new authorize_wizard_mode() to do
the port-specific part. If the set_playmode() call during startup doesn't
result in running in wizard mode (either because not allowed or user
didn't request it), it will be called again during restore if the save
file is from a wizard mode game.
For ports which check character name for authorization, players will
have to use `nethack -u whatever -D' (or options for name and playmode) to
restore a wizard mode save file if WIZARD has been changed from "wizard".
plname[] from a wizard mode saved game will always have that value, so if
it's not the right one players will need to get authorized by the startup
code before loading the save file.
Wizard mode or explore mode can be forced on (via -D or -X on the
command line, or now via OPTIONS=playmode:debug|explore) when restoring
a saved game; explore mode handling was confined to restgamestate(), but
wizard mode handling was replicated in every main(). Treat `wizard' the
same as `discover'. Also, prevent a new game started when restore fails
from using the old game's option settings if partial restore attempt got
far enough to load the flags struct. And update bemain.c and macmain.c
to catch up with the others modified by the playmode patch.
Move some internals-related code out of port-specific main so that
it isn't duplicated a bunch of times. One minor side-effect of this
change is that if you auto-pickup something at the very start of a game,
it will happen after any full moon/new moon/Friday 13th message rather
than before. There's a second change for some: the shared main() used
by several of the micro ports had a small difference in game play--if you
saved a game while on an engraving, it would automatically be read when
you resume--that will now occur for everybody [Elbereth weenies rejoice!].
pcmain() was also calling update_inventory() at start of play. That's
unnecessary for new games, where inventory initialization triggers a call
to it for each item added to your pack; but I wasn't sure about restored
games, so everybody gets it there now.
The Mac and BeOS ports evidently haven't been touched it some time;
they still referenced flags.move which got replaced by context.move quite
a while back. The Windows GUI code has a declaration for mswin_moveloop()
which appears to be non-existant, but I left it alone. I assume that the
Qt interface uses the existing main() routines; at least I couldn't find
any start of game code specific to it. vmsmain's revised main() is the
only one which has been tested.
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.
