Pull request from entrez: when the curses interface was deciding
whether ">>" could fit on the bottom line of the message window, it
was off by two (based on the initial report) and ">>" clobbered the
last two characters.
Reported case was "Welcome to level " when that was appended to
another short message. It should have ended with "6. " but that had
been chopped off by ">> ". Reproducible by assigning a long name to
something, dropping an item, dropping the something, and dropping
just enough other stuff so that the named item will be reported on
the bottom message line during pickup-all, forcing --More-- before
continuing to the item below it. The item with the long name needs
to fit in the message window's width (when formatted with invent
letter prefix and trailing period) without being wrapped and not
leaving enough unused space to fix ">> ".

I felt it was strange that archeologist started out both
fast and stealthy, but didn't gain searching until level 10.
So, archeologists now start with searching, gain stealth at 5,
and fast at 10.
Similarly valkyries starting out stealthy felt odd, so now they'll
get it at level 3.
This leaves only the rogue starting out innately stealthy, which
feels appropriate.
Using the 'm' prefix with #tip was putting up a menu to pick between
one or more floor containers and 'choose from invent', but that
interfered with choosing Tip as a context-sensitive item-action for
carried container. Change 'm' to behave like it does with #eat and
\#quaff and several other commands: skip possible candidates on the
floor and go directly to picking something from inventory.
That prevents using 'm' to force a menu of
|a - <floor container>
|i - pick a container being carried
for any menustyle when there is one floor container. For menustyles
other than traditional, I think that's inconsequential; player needs
to answer 'n' for floor container and then get the choose-from-invent
prompt instead of 'i' and then choose. When there are two or more
containers on hero's spot, 'm' prefix isn't needed to get that menu.
Unfortuately using 'm' to override menustyle:Traditional is still a
thing players might want to do. Keep the prior behavior for that
style when multiple containers are present (dotip() already skipped
that menu despite 'm' when there was just one container). Use the
new behavior (skip floor containers) when one (or none) is present.
That's inconsistent but seems more useful than alternatives. It is
relatively unlikely that anyone who uses traditional non-menu item
selection will also use newfangled inventory item-actions so the menu
isn't likely to interfere with the latter. Update the Guidebook to
describe how Traditional differs just in case.
Issue reported by jeremyhetzler: left and right arrows produced
unexpected characters when trying to use them to edit text that is
being entered.
The curses interface converts arrow keys and function keys related
to the keypad into movement keys (hjkl or 4286 depending on the
number_pad setting). But it was doing that all the time, not just
when nethack wanted movement keys. This extends the existing
program_state.getting_a_command flag to getdir() so that it can be
used for controlling that in addition to 'altmeta' support.
Typing an arrow when interacting with the map (actual command or
getpos, now getdir too) will still work. Typing one when making a
wish or naming a pet will issue a beep and be treated as if '\0' had
been typed, and that normally gets treated as if ESC had been typed.
[Possible room for improvement there. Losing the whole text when
trying to back up a character feels a bit harsh.]
Treating left arrow as escape rather than as h or 4 will probably be
enough to train players not to try to edit text with it after they
get burned by that a time or two.
Bonus fix: curses' keystroke conversion only supported traditional
number_pad behavior, not the inverted phone number pad layout.

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

Breaks save compat.
From a report 9 years ago, a pet pyrolisk was repeatedly gazing at a
grey-elf and nothing happened. It turned out that the elf was wearing
an elven cloak which was negating damage some of the time (most of the
time back then) but with no indication that that's what was happening.
This makes many types of damage that are negated by MC say so.
Probably other types of damage should do likewise.
Issue reported by entrez: when getpos() is being used to have the
player pick a map location, if player types '$' (for some operations
like jumping or applying a polearm) then valid spots are highlighted
but the highlighting obscures what was shown on the map. I'm not
sure whether this 'fixes' the issue but it's probably good enough.
Allow typing another '$' to toggle the highlighting back off,
redisplaying the map in the process, without needing to move the
cursor or type ^R to accomplish that. Toggling seems more intuitive.
This is a lot more complicated than it needs to be because I assumed
that the background aspect of highlighting stayed visible when the
glyphs were reverted. It doesn't work that way but I haven't thrown
out the effort to make toggling the highlights work sanely. Prior
to this, typing '$' again just redrew the highlighting again, with
no visible effect.

Reported by elunna: a monster trapped in a pit or web that was
adjacent to a polymorph trap could enter that trap to change shape.
It would remain flagged as trapped but there's no way to escape
from a polymorph trap so it would be stuck.
Fix supplied by entrez: when a monster is picking MUSE strategy,
don't allow it choose "enter polymorph trap" if it is currently
trapped.
I entered the changes from the diff manually and added a bunch of
minor formatting bits.

Issue reported for a hardfought player by k2: dying in a shop wall
produced "place_object: <item> [0] off map <0,0>" when hero's invent
was dropped. It happened in Mine Town where multiple shopkeepers are
present and it is possible to have two shops share a wall.
I could not reprouce the problem, even after setting up--and dying
various times at a gap in--a wall shared by two shops.
paybill() -> inherits() -> set_repo_loc() sets up the destination
prior to disclosure and finish_paybill() -> drop_upon_death() later
places invent at the spot iff bones are going to he saved. inherits()
is convoluted and evidently took at least one path that failed to
call set_repo_loc(). Change it to always call set_repo_loc() when
returning 'True' so that the destination should always be set if
really_done() calls finish_paybill().
Some followups by entrez are probably still useful.

Pull request from entrez: if bones left dead hero's corpse on top
of a new grave, don't find a corpse or summon a zombie when digging
the grave up. It also removed the chance that a ghoul might be
summoned when engraving on a headstone, switching to zombie or mummy
instead.
Rather than adopting the pull request, this retains summoning a
ghoul via engraving and adds the possibly of doing so when kicking
a headstone. Having a ghoul prowl around the grave is independent
of whether there is a corpse or zombie inside the grave. To achieve
this, another flag in 'struct rm' is needed; the single bit for
'disturbed' isn't sufficient. The bigger 'flags' field wasn't in
use for graves so commandeer that for new 'emptygrave'. 'disturbed'
still uses the 'horizontal' bit in order to have engraving and/or
kicking summon at most one ghoul.

Unless you kill the monster with one hit, it'll wake up
cranky and make noise - waking up other sleeping monsters.
This was a bit tricky with all the message sequencing; I tested
all the hit/throw/fire/zap combos I could think of, and it took
a while to get things looking right.
When playing as a Samurai, add things like "osaku" to the discoveries
list even though they don't have separate descriptions to be used
when not yet discovered. Non-magic ones are pre-discovered and
players can now use the '\' command to figure out what things like
"tanko" mean without resorting to '/?'.
"wooden harp" has been getting changed to "koto (harp)"; make that be
| koto [wooden harp] (koto)
"magic harp" has been staying as "magic harp (harp)"; add it to the
list of Japanese item names. Since it's magic it isn't pre-discovered.
Once discovered it becomes
| magic koto [magic harp] (koto)
Those two needed special case handling, none of the other items did
aside from forcing them to be discoverable when lacking descriptions.
The discoveries list now has things like
| wakizashi [short sword]
| naginata [glaive] (single-edged polearm)
| gunyoki [food ration]
if--and only if--the hero is a Samurai.
Allow setting a per-level "temperature": hot, cold, or temperate

When hallucinating, random object selection for objects was including
the new generic objects. It was already excluding 'strange object'
by using 'rn2(NUM_OBJECTS - 1) + 1' to skip objects[0]; changing that
to be 'rn2(NUM_OBJECTS - MAXOCLASSES) + MAXOCLASSES' will skip the
first 18 objects, 'strange object' plus the 17 generic objects.
(I'm trying to convince myself that there's no off-by-1 or off-by-N
error and think I've succeeded.)
Add 17 fake objects to objects[], one for each object class. All
specific color as gray. They're grouped at the start--actually near
the start since "strange object" is still objects[0]--rather than
being among the objects for each class. init_object() knows to start
at [MAXOCLASSES] instead of [0]; other code that loops through every
object might need adjusting.
For potions, non-stone gems, and non-novel/non-Book_of_the_Dead
spellbooks that don't have obj->dknown set, display the corresponding
generic object rather the object itself. Fixes the longstanding bug
of seeing color for not-yet-seen objects whose primary distinguishing
characteristic is their color. Walking next to a generic object
while able to see its spot will set dknown and redraw as specific.
It's slightly disconcerting to have objects change as you reach them;
I hope it's just a matter of becoming used to that. (If there is any
code still changing the hero's location manually instead of using
u_on_newpos(), it should be changed to use that routine.)
Most of the new tiles are just a big rendering of punctuation
characters. The potion, gem, and spellbook ones could be cloned from
a specific object in their class and then have the color removed. I
started out that way but wasn't happy with the result. I'm not
artisticly inclined; hopefully someone else will do better. Each of
them is preceded by a comment beginning with "#_"; the underscore
isn't required, just being used to make the comments stand out a bit.
Invalidates existing save and bones files.
Instead of just plain old boring mazes, spice up Gehennom by
occasionally adding lava, iron bars, or even mines-style levels
(with lava, of course).
Of the fixed Gehennom levels, only Asmodeus' lair has been changed
to add some random lava pools.
Also some lua fixes and changes:
- Fixed a selection negation bounding box being wrong.
- Fixed a selection negated and ORed returning wrong results.
- des.map now returns a selection of the map grids it touched.
- When using des.map contents-function the commands following the
map are not relative to it.
From the newsgroup: identifying by menu pops up multiple menus in
succession if the player picks fewer invent entries than are being
granted, but the second and subsequent ones could cover up the
message window and hide the feedback from prior ones.
If multiple popup menus are needed when identifying, issue --More--
before each menu after the first. The code seemed to be trying to
do this already, but it should have used wait_synch() rather than
mark_synch(), or perhaps used display_nhwindow(WIN_MESSAGE, TRUE)
instead of either one of those. For curses, both mark_synch() and
wait_synch() were no-ops. Now they do something. X11's behavior
wasn't right either; it seemed to be lagging one message behind
(something I had noticed recently and then forgotten about; I still
don't remember the context then so don't know whether this fixes
that earlier situation).
Allow the preferred sort order for the vanquished monsters list to
be specified in the run-time config file
|OPTIONS=sortvanquished:X
where X is t, d, a, c, n, or z. It can also be set to 'A' or 'C'
but those aren't documented and aren't offered as choices when
setting the value interactively, which can be done via 'm O' or by
using 'm #vanquished'.
Guidebook.mn has been updated but Guidebook.tex is lagging again.
Reported by entrez: if a trap killed hero's steed and dismounting
was fatal for the hero (probably by falling onto the same trap),
impossible "dmonsfree: 1 removed doesn't match 0 pending" warning
occurred during game-over cleanup.
Move the dismount calls in mondead() and mongone() from before their
m_detach() call to the end of m_detach() itself. This led to a
cascade of problems and attempted fixes until finally zeroing in on
place_monster()'s sanity checks and dismount_steed()'s attempts to
work-around one of them.
This reverts the convoluted hack from four years ago in commit
be327d9822 and deals with the issue in
a simpler way. After that, the new dismount_steed() placement at
end of m_detach() works cleanly.
Reported directly to devteam by entrez: a sleeping or unconscious
hero would still meet a monster's gaze attack even though those are
supposed to be eye-to-eye rather than just the monster looking at
you. Don't meet the gaze when Unaware, despite the fact that the
hero isn't blind and vision remains in operation.
Initially being Unaware also blocked Medusa's gaze being reflected
but I changed things so that that still affects her. It contradicts
the eye-to-eye aspect but is more consistent with her looking at a
blind hero who has reflection.
