Add "again" to the hit message when an attack sequence has
consecutive attacks of same type and they hit. A {bite, claw, claw}
sequence won't give that for first claw attack regardless of whether
the bite hits but will give it for the second claw attack when both
of the claw attacks hit.
The message sequence
|The fire ant bites! The fire ant bites! You're on fire!
or |The fire ant bites! The fire ant bites! You avoid harm.
when the first bite was for physical damage and the second was
for fire damage seemed a little confusing.
This changes that to be
|The fire ant bites! The fire ant bites again! You're on fire!
or |The fire ant bites! The fire ant bites again! You avoid harm.
It still isn't crystal clear that both bites are from a single
attack and that the second bite is for different type of damage
but I think it's an improvement.
While watching a ttyrec, I noticed strange behaviour in
the cursor updates; it was moved to approximately middle
of the map window every so often, usually when doing ranged
attacks. This wasn't really noticeable in normal gameplay,
as it was moving the cursor there, and then almost immediately
to where it was supposed to be.
I managed to trace it down to the refresh() in curses_delay_output().
That call updates the terminal to match the ncurses stdscr window,
but the stdscr window cursor position wasn't updated by NetHack.
Adjust the message given when an attack knocks its target back. Say
|<defender> is knocked backward by <attacker>
if target will actually move or
|<defender> is knocked back by <attacker>
if there's something preventing the move. Most players probably won't
even notice the difference. (Possibly "rocked back" would be better
when not changing location but this hasn't gone that far.)
Also make the knock back distance be 1 step 2/3 of the time or 2 steps
1/3 instead of 50:50 chance for 1 or 2 steps.
I don't know when this behavior started, but a pet who was eating
something while standing on an item could pick that item while busy.
This would be wrong even for pets that didn't need to use their
mouth to do the picking up.
This fix may be overly simplistic. It prevents the pickup-while-
eating misbehavior but could possibly interfere with something else.
I happened to notice when looking at a ttyrec that farlooking
with automatic description would blink the cursor on hero for
one frame, and then back on the farlooked map location.
Extend "killed by the touch of death inflicted by <monster>" to buzz().
"Killed by a bolt of cold" becomes "killed by a bolt of cold zapped by
<monster>" or "killed by a blast of cold" becomes "killed by a blast
of cold exhaled by <monster>" and so forth.
More work than expected; the zap code isn't passed enough context.
BZ_M_WAND() was producing the wrong value for wands zapped by monsters.
This is fairly ridiculous but it prevents the bogus complaints
when compiling eat.c with 'gcc -fanalyzer' about some fields in
gc.context.victual being used without having been initialized.
There's bound to be a better way to handle this and I'm curious
whether it will work with the 'onefile' testing.
Issue reported by vultur-cadens: cause of death reason for touch
of death and death due to loss of strength only showed the cause,
not the monster spellcaster who was responsible.
This changes
|Killed by a touch of death.
to
|Killed by the touch of death inflicted by the Wizard of Yendor.
and
|Killed by terminal fraility.
to
|Killed by strength loss inflicted by a chameleon imitating an arch-lich.
(The 'imitating' part doesn't fit on the tombstone but will be present
in logfile/xlogfile.)
Noticed while implemented this: touch of death was modifying u.uhpmax
and basing death vs damage on that even when hero was polymorphed.
It now rehumanizes the hero in that situation.
Closes#994
1. Add "engraved room floor" pchar sym (S_engroom). The symbol that
displays at the engraved part of a room (not a corridor though).
The default symbol is '`' which is currently never shown if people
have defined the boulder symbol to '0' and statues are displayed as
monster symbols. It is bright blue.
Add some stylized variations of the S_engroom symset to some of
the symsets.
2. Add "engraved corridor" pchar sym (S_engrcorr). The symbol that
displays at the engraved part of a corridor. The default symbol is
'#', and it matches the symbol for corridor from for whatever the
current symset uses. It is bright blue to match the color of the
S_engroom symbol. Using the normal corridor symbol for display
preserves the lines of the corridor so is not as visually-disruptive
as a smaller symbol would be. Explicit entries that match the S_corr
symbol have been added to the symset file.
Magic mapping and clairvoyance impacts yet to be determined.
The Guidebook updates will come later.
A bug report from ten and half years ago...
If a carried egg hatches, the message is
|<foo> drops from your pack.
and if tame, is followed by
|Its cries sound like {mommy,daddy}.
The latter was issued even when <foo> has no speech capability.
Replace "its cries sound like" with "its <vocalize>ing sounds like"
for suitable value of <vocalize>.
This adds two new monster sounds, MS_BELLOW and MS_CHIRP, also two
new sound effect codes, se_chirp and se_croc_bellow.
We had MS_SILENT for crocodile. On wikipedia, crocodile is described
as the most vocal reptile. Adult males make a load bellowing noise
and hatchlings make a chirping noise.
This changes crocodile, titanothere, and baluchitherium from MS_SILENT
to MS_BELLOW and baby crocodile from MS_SILENT to MS_CHIRP. Chirp
might be appropriate for lizards and lizard-like amphibians but I've
left those as MS_SILENT.
[Noticed but not changed: lizards and lizard-like amphibians aren't
flagged as oviparous. Shouldn't they be?]
Adds a more general way to handle gameplay tips, and adds
a boolean option "tips", which can be used to disable all
tips. Adds a helpful longer message when the game goes
into the "farlook" mode.
Also adds a lua binding to easily show multi-line text
in a menu window.
Breaks save compat.
selection.gradient has some pretty unintuitive behavior, in that it
selects points that are NOT close to the defined center. I've used
gradient selections several times and so far all of them have had to be
negated, because I wanted to select points close to the center with a
decreasing probability further out.
This implements that behavior, and also fixes a bug in which the x,y
coordinates of the gradient center(s) were not converted properly when
used within a des.room or des.map. Also updated the lua documentation
for gradient.
I removed the "limited" argument, as it was previously used to control
whether the rest of the map outside the max given distance would be
included in the selection; now that the area beyond maxdist is naturally
never in the selection, it doesn't have much use. (And I can't think of
a reasonable use case for the inverse: wanting to select points close to
the center, with decreasing chance towards maxdist, but then select the
entire map beyond maxdist.)
Currently this does not affect any special levels or themed rooms
because none of them use selection.gradient.
Comparable to #vanquished, be able to view info normally available
during end of game disclosure while the game is still in progress.
The new #genocided command lists all genocided and extincted types
of monsters. Unlike #vanquished, there aren't any sorting choices.
Potential future enhancement: provide a way to view the genocided
list at the "what do you want to genocide?" prompt.
Give generic objects a name as well as a description to avoid some
potential object formatting problems. Also remove the 'unique' flag
from them to avoid confusion. Not exhaustively tested.
sound_verbal(char *text, int32_t gender, int32_t tone, int32_t vol,
int32_t moreinfo);
-- NetHack will call this function when it wants to pass text of
spoken language by a character or creature within the game.
-- text is a transcript of what has been spoken.
-- gender indicates MALE or FEMALE sounding voice.
-- tone indicates the tone of the voice.
-- vol is the volume (1% - 100%) for the sound.
-- moreinfo is used to provide additional information to the soundlib.
-- there may be some accessibility uses for this function.
It may be useful for accessibility purposes too.
A preliminary implementation has been attempted for macsound to test
the interface on macOS. No tinkering of the voices has been done.
Use of the test implementation requires the following at build time with make.
WANT_SPEECH=1
That needs to be included on the make command line to enable the test code,
otherwise just the interface update is compiled in.
I don't know for certain when AVSpeechSynthesizer went into macOS, but older versions
likely don't support it, and would just leave off the WANT_SPEECH=1.
If built with WANT_SPEECH=1, the 'voices' NetHack option needs to be enabled.
It was a bit strange, when I first started up the test, to hear Asidonhopo,
the shopkeeper, talking to me as I entered his shop and interacted with him.
Add "walls of lava", basically lava which blocks vision and
require a bit more than just levitation or flight to move through.
No levels use this yet, as testing isn't thorough enough.
Start to add supporting code to windsound and macsound. The latter
remains commented out because I haven't had a chance to try
it on macOS yet.
In order to test it out, I added two more stock sounds:
sa2_xplevelup and sa2_xpleveldown.
While fuzzing, I saw a sanity checking error complaining about
a ceiling hider being on top of a pool; the rock piercer was
teleported on top of the pool while it was hiding in the ceiling.
Try to be a bit more consistent when a monster is hiding in ceiling,
and if it's valid for it to be on a pool.
