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.
Clean up some of the code for monster deciding what objects
to pick up, removing duplicate code. There should be no real
difference in behaviour, other than monsters now can pick up
one stack of items at a time; previously monster could pick up
gold, then a practical item, followed by a magical item all
in a single turn, although this very rarely mattered.
Not extensively tested.
Code originally from NetHack4.
It looks like the Windows API call for PlaySound using SND_RESOURCE, from a
mingw32 built program, cannot find the resources that are
embeded into the .exe by the mingw32 resource compiler. That works fine
from visual studio.
For now, fall back to not using the SND_RESOURCE flag, use an ordinary
wav file name in the filesystem. Makefile.mingw32 has been modified
to copy the wav files to the binary directory along with the exe.
This probably won't be the final approach, but it will get things
working for now.
sounds can be set in the config file or on the fly with the Options menu.
This also adds a mechanism for specifying a terminology preference
for a boolean option in the options menu.
The choices are: Term_False, Term_Off, Term_Disabled
Term_False, the default, will use the terms "false" and "true" in the
Options menu.
Term_Off will use the terms "off" and "on" in the Options menu.
Term_Disabled will use the terms "disabled" and "enabled" in the Options
menu.
I didn't review any of the existing options to see if one of the new
alternative terms might be a better fit. They were all left at the default.
