It is not physical damage if:
1. it already qualifies for some other special type of damage
for which a special resistance already exists in the game
including: cold, fire, shock, and acid. Note that fire is
extended to include all forms of burning, even boiling water
since that is already dealt with by fire resistance, and in
most or all cases is caused by fire.
2. it doesn't leave a mark. Marks include destruction of, or
damage to, an internal organ (including the brain),
lacerations, bruises, crushed body parts, bleeding.
Current exceptions to the rule (already existing):
- holy water burning chaotic ("it burns like acid") is physical damage.
- unholy water burning lawful is physical damage.
- [fixed in trunk] Jumping/Newton's-Thirding into something solid
- [fixed in trunk] Being hit by Mjollnir on the return
- [fixed in trunk] Contaminated or boiling water from a sink
- [fixed in trunk] Falling on a sink while levitating
- [fixed in trunk, fire only] Any passive attack
- [fixed in trunk] Zapping yourself with a wand, horn or spell
- [fixed in trunk] Burning (un)holy water
- [fixed in trunk] Thrown potion (bottle)
- [fixed in trunk] Bumping head on ceiling by cursed levitation
- [fixed in trunk] Exploding rings and wands (under all circumstances)
- [fixed in trunk] Stinking cloud damage
- [fixed in trunk] Sitting in a spiked pit, in lava
- [fixed in trunk] Exploding spellbooks
- [fixed in trunk] Falling off or failing to mount a steed
- [fixed in trunk] Falling into a (spiked) pit
- [fixed in trunk] Land mine explosion
- [fixed in trunk] Fire traps
Introduce a new set of functions to manage delayed killers in the trunk, used
in addressing the various reports of delayed killer confusion. Since existing
delayed killers are related to player properties, the delayed killers are
keyed by uprop indexes. I did this to avoid adding yet another set of
similar identifiers.
- the new delayed_killer() is used for stoning, sliming, sickness, and
delayed self-genocide while polymorphed. Some other timed events don't
use it (and didn't use the old delayed_killer variable) because they
use a fixed message when the timeout occurs.
- A new data structure, struct kinfo, is used to track both delayed and
immediate killers. This encapsulates all the info involved with
identifying a killer. The structure contains a buffer, which subsumes the
old killer_buf and several other buffers that didn't/couldn't use killer_buf.
- the killer list is saved and restored as part of the game state.
- the special case of usick_cause was removed and a delayed killer list
entry is now used in its place
- common code dealing with (un)sliming is moved to a new make_slimed function
- attempted to update all make dependencies for new end.c -> lev.h
dependency, sorry if I messed any up

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
A skilled/expert caster of fireball/cone of cold was not able to target
a location with a monster seen only by infravision/ESP. Since you can
focus on the monster there, targetting shouldn't fail in this case.
Attempting to lock onto a monster inside stone still won't work.
Pulled out the code that handles reading spellbooks while confused into a
new function that can be called from learn() to handle the timed onset of
confusion starting while you're reading.
When reading a cursed or too-hard book that's covered in contact poison
(presumably in the too-hard case, reading it made the poison), and you die,
the book would not be in the bones. remove in_use mark while assessing
damage.
On the other hand, not From a bug report, the message in the "6" case says
the book explodes, but had a 1/3 chance of not disappearing in the normal
case, and 100% chance of remaining if cursed while reading - when the
player survives. Return a flag to allow the book to be destroyed in this
case. No work needed for the death case; in_use is set.

Reported to the newsgroup, the code in study_book for the effect of
confusion on studying a book was never reached. The study_book code
didn't completely handle continuing to read a book when you got confused
after getting interrupted.
- Changed a cancelled chat direction to abort the chat -- it seemed odd
that the old behavior would sometimes take time, sometimes not, depending
on the previous direction.
- Documented the current spelleffects behavior of re-using the last
direction after a cancelled getdir() & added a message.
The spellcasting code stopped counting a spell class's skill
exercise once that reached expert, so the only way that it could
end up being flagged as having reached maximum in the #enhance
feedback would be if it had already received enough exercise to
reach the hypothetical level beyond expert while it was still at
skilled or less.
It also didn't count the exercise if you were restricted in
the spell class, but that wasn't necessary because becoming
unrestricted--which I don't think is even possible for spells at
present--resets the counter back to 0 to discard any exercise
achieved while ineligible.
Make a change suggested by <Someone> to have the Wizard
enter harassment mode when you perform the invocation, in case
you manage to obtain the Book of the Dead without killing him.
Instead of just initiating that periodic effect, behave as if
you have actually killed him (which also affects random monster
generation frequency, prayer timeout, and shopkeeper salutations).
The comment about Book of the Dead's taming effect working
on nearby monsters when read while swallowed was wrong. It was
only put there in the first place to avoid adding extra code to
suppress taming while swallowed when that was done for the other
methods of taming. Any need for extra code here turns out to be
unnecessary due to the cansee() check.
If you get interrupted while reading a spellbook and then
the book gets destroyed or you change levels, the object pointer
remembered for the book will be invalid and could accidentally
match one subsequently allocated to some other book. That would
result in "you continue your efforts to memorize the spell" when
starting to read that other book; it would also end up bypassing
the reading difficulty check and reuse the old book's delay counter.
I don't remember who reported this. It was quite some time
ago and I have an abandoned patch dated last March from when I
first started to fix it.
Files patched:
include/extern.h
src/save.c, shk.c, spell.c
This adds <Someone>'s lens patch.
This is probably it for me adding in any more user-contributed patches for
3.3.2 (except maybe coin flipping; does anyone object to it?)
