Rather than just informing the player that saving and reloading might
fix the problem, they are now encouraged to report the problem to the
value of DEVTEAM_EMAIL. If the sysconf specifies SUPPORT, that is also
presented as an option.
Message is a reference to The Silver Chair. Most of the other races had
their own messages already, but gnomes would just default to discussing
dungeon exploration, which doesn't make that much sense most of the
times when you would be chatting to them in their own mines.
The quotation is edited from the source to reflect the dungeon
environment, but the sentiment is actually pretty spot-on given the
average player's win ratio.
Note: this doesn't interfere with the South Park gnome speech added to
3.6 a while ago; that only occurs when hallucinating and this only
occurs when not hallucinating.
From SliceHack. Note that this refers to the description of the physical
bottle; it's a substitute for "phial", "carafe", "flask", etc. such as
are seen when a potion crashes on someone's head. They don't obscure the
randomized appearance or actual potion identity.
The SliceHack version evidently went through several revisions; just
take the current one.
The general idea here came from SpliceHack -- give each alignment a
unique effect in what happens to its sacrifices -- but the "puff of
smoke" in Splice seemed too small.
Triggers when you feel more confident in your skills. This is to address
a problem I have heard about several times from newer players: unless
you pay close attention to the guidebook, nothing in the game actually
indicates that you can level up your abilities and how to do it.
Experienced players don't need this message, of course; they can hide it
via MSGTYPE if they really hate it, but I additionally added a clause
that prevents this message from being displayed more than once per game
session. (It didn't seem important enough to make a save field for.)
Backported from TNNT. Only affects dumplog pline history, not any other
form of pline history.
The impetus for this is to avoid dumplogs full of "Unknown command foo."
messages which don't provide any value for people reading the file. In
many cases, these messages crowd out the actual message history, making
it hard to reconstruct what happened.
It's confusing and served no purpose; a spoiled player knew what it is,
an unspoiled player might think it was a hook-hand or something. Now
they all show up as grappling hook.
That message implied something to do with an effect happening to the
hero that causes them to feel cold, such as taking cold damage.
Change it to "You hear a deep cracking sound" instead.
Make data.base display perform a couple of extra data integrity
checks and meet tabexpand()'s expectation about buffer size.
Also be a little more forgiving in case someone uses spaces instead
of a tab to indent new text lines.
If the core frees the obj struct referred by lua, don't free it,
just mark it as OBJ_LUAFREE - lua will free it in gc once all
the references to it are gone.
When GOLDOBJ was activated unconditionally, several texts started referencing
"money" instead of "gold".
As we don't have the intention to introduce a complex coin system with
different denominations, change it back and also some other places that
reference "money".
There was a concern that some things resulted in "is not a weapon"
when trying to twoweapon, then were subsequently refered to in
menus as "weapon in hand."
Remove any perceived inconsistency by simply adjusting the first
message.
Some new code was using 3.4.3 era formatting (operators at end of
first half of a continued line rather than at start of second half).
Also a few cases of 'g.' prefix making lines be too wide. I imagine
there will be a lot more of these over time.
The test for whether a migrating object generated as plundered
mine-town loot should be delivered to any orc created and then giving
that orc a bandit name was kicking in for orc mummies and orc zombies
as well as for regular orcs.
Also, the loot could include tins or eggs and their species would
get clobbered by the overloading of obj->corpsenm. During delivery
when the overloading was reset they would become giant ant eggs/tins.
(Not seen in actual play.)
Whenever a lua script references a core struct obj, increment a counter
in the obj struct. Core code will not free the obj, if there are any
lua references pointing to it, just makes it free-floating.
When lua script ends, the lua gc will free the free-floating objects.
Also exposes u.inventory to lua.
Breaks save and bones compat.
Meat rings were causing increased hunger even though they don't do
anything. Not mentioned in the report, but cheap plastic imitation
amulets increased hunger too and they don't do anything either.
Trickier to fix, +0 rings of protection were excluded from hunger
on the grounds that +0 rings don't do anything, but since 3.6.0
+0 protection provides +1 to magic cancellation if protection isn't
coming from anywhere else. Two +0 rings of protection are trickier
still since only one of them provides the MC bonus.
Fixes#272
After the "make 'w' parallel with 'Q'" patch, wielding bare hands
was erroneously treating object id 0 as a split of zeroobj. That
isn't in inventory so seems 'lost'. Fixed by testing for nonzero.
There was another bug: you could wield a partial stack even if your
current weapon was cursed. Fixed by reordering if/else-if/end-if.
Change the composition of worm tooth from none-of-the-above to bone
and crysknife from mineral to bone, same as is used for unicorn horn.
I think the only significant difference will be that worm teeth used
up during polypiling will produce skeletons rather than flesh golems.
Fixes#268
