Bones information for the current level was freed during save but not
at end of game. Have freedynamicdata() call savelev(,,FREE_SAVE) to
throw away current level instead of trying to duplicate the actions
that performs.
The #overview command can provide some feedback about levels loaded
from bones files; that data wasn't being released at end of game.
(There are two copies of that data, one set always in memory with
the overview data [final_resting_place field in the 'mapseen' data],
and another set with portions attached to each relevant level [via
level.bonesinfo]. Neither set was being properly freed; this only
addresses one of them, so far. The per-level data can probably be
eliminated--for post-3.6--since DUNGEON_OVERVIEW isn't a conditional
feature as it was when that was implemented.)
The first generated luckstone is marked as the prize in mines' end.
Make sure we generate the intended one first, before any other
(possibly randomly generated) luckstones.
if one of the random objects happened to be a luckstone then
it and the explicit one got marked as a prize.
Following this change, only one will be marked as the prize,
but a follow-up on the order of things in mines.des may be
warranted to ensure it is the explicitly placed luckstone.
Back in February, my e991dd1b0c added
ESC (when there's no input) as an early return for curses' getline,
but it neglected to clean up some allocated memory.
Fix a problem introduced by f218e3f15e
and/or a19e64e470. Sometimes the line
after a prompt would be empty and the next message get shown on the
line after that. a19e64e470 was intended to fix the opposite problem
so probably overshot the mark....
Sometimes curses tears down and recreates all its windows (when the
display is resized, for instance) and after doing that it repopulates
the message window with data saved for use by ^P. But it was showing
the oldest messages available rather than the most recent ones.
There is still room for improvement. That process combines short
messages but the refresh is based on the available number of lines;
combining messages can result in lines at the bottom of the message
window being left blank. This could be fixed by reverse-scrolling the
window and inserting more messages at the top, or by combining short
messages in history data instead of at refresh time. The second seems
easier but won't handle changing the message window's width sensibly,
and neither method handles wrapped, long lines well. A More>> prompt
(possibly more than one) is issued if the refresh shows too many lines
(either because long messages already took multiple lines or because
the window has become narrower and ones which used to fit now need to
be wrapped).
Air bubble movement on the Plane of Water manipulated <u.ux,u.uy>
directly when changing hero's coordinates, leaving steed with old
coordinates, resulting in dunking it when the old spot switched from
air to water. Switch to u_on_newpos() which moves the steed with
the hero and also handles clipping when the screen is too small to
show the whole map at once.
The earlier fix removed a valid optimization which happened to be
implemented incorrectly. Put that back. It also left an invalid
optimization when applied to conditions. Remove that one.
I don't think either of these explains truncating 'y' off of "Hungry"
which was shown in one of the reports.
Reported as #H8609 (1679)
Some code recently added to render_status() for BL_CONDITION:
if (!tty_condition_bits)
continue;
was short-circuiting the required copy of NOW
values to BEFORE values for later comparison
further down in the for-loop.
tty_status[BEFORE][idx] = tty_status[NOW][idx];
This caused some fields to be bypassed for rendering
once no more tty_condition_bits were set because the
length comparisons would match.
Autodescribe feedback and multi-digit count prompts are always shown
on the last line of the message window and are suppressed from message
history (both ^P and DUMPLOG). When the message window is using all
available lines, the last one was being overwritten (until the count
or the feedback was completed or dismissed, then last line returned).
Adopt the suggestion that it be scrolled up a line instead of being
overwritten. [I haven't been able to reproduce the reported problem
where shorter overlaid text left some of longer underlying text visible
but that should now become moot.]
Bonus fix: while testing, I noticed that if your screen only has room
for a one-line message window and you used ESC to cancel 'pick a spot
with cursor' prompting before moving the cursor, the prompt was left
intact on the message line. tty erases it in that situation, but the
clear_nhwindow(WIN_MESSAGE) was a no-op for curses because it usually
doesn't erase old messages. This changes the curses behavior when the
core asks it to erase the message window: now it forces one blank line
of fake autodesribe feedback (causing the prompt or other most recent
message to scroll off top), then removes that fake feedback (leaving
a blank message line). For multi-line message window, the old messages
scroll up by one line sooner than they would when waiting for the next
real message but are otherwise unaffected.
When using '/' or ';' and picking--not just viewing the autodescribe
feedback for--a space or '#' on the map, the game would produce
That can be many things (stone)
or
That can be many things (corridor)
unlike the usual
- the interior of a monster or a wall or an open door (wall)
when the symbol matched more than 4 things. I first changed it to
append the full sentence's missing period, but ultimately switched to
# can be many things (corridor)
so that the symbol that "many things" refers to isn't hidden. This
works better for ^P where player isn't looking at the symbol anymore.
The curses interface would assign menu selector characters a-z, A-Z,
and then 0-9, but trying to type 0-9 would start a count rather than
select an entry, and if the display was tall enough for more than 62
entries, the ones after '9' were ASCII punctuation characters.
Limit the number of entries per page to 52 + number_of_'$'_entries
(which should be 0 or 1) so that it won't run out of normal letters.
The perm_invent window, if enabled, ought to allow more than that
because it isn't used to make selections and might have an arbtirary
number of '#' overflow entries. But I'll leave that for somebody
else to tackle.
Tested by temporarily setting the limit to 26 instead of 52 since
I'm not able to display anything tall enough to exercise the latter.
When place_object() puts a non-boulder underneath a boulder, make it
put the non-boulder under all the boulders there rather than just under
the topmost one. Otherwise the map display will show the non-boulder
rather than the 2nd boulder if the top boulder gets moved away by some
means other than pushing. (Pushing explicitly brings lower boulder to
top of pile in order to try to push it next.)
Reproduce by: wish for boulder--it will drop. Drop something else--
the something-else will end up under the boulder. Repeat. The second
boulder will be on top but the second something-else will be next in
the pile, above the first boulder. Now polymorph into a giant and pick
up the first boulder, then move away from that spot. Map will show
second something-else instead of the remaining boulder.
This fairly simple fix should work reliably on new games since boulders
will end up being consecutive on the top of piles. For old games,
boulders after the topmost could be anywhere and still yield a display
glitch, but since that's all the problem is (I hope...), we ought to
be able to live with that until old games eventually go away.
[A map display glitch doesn't explain a corrupted 'uball' so this fix
doesn't solve that.]
Change of couple entries which describe fixed bugs to use past tense
instead of present tense. Fix a typo or two and a couple of instances
of clumsy wording. Move a dead-fake-hero-on-trap entry from normal
fixes section to exposed-by-git section since it was a post-3.6.1 bug.
Move two VMS entries from exposed-by-git section to interface-specific
section where they were intended.
I didn't make it through the whole file so there may be more room for
improvement. It's too late for 3.6.2 but the copy of doc/fixes36.2 in
later versions will be 'better'.
