Umpteenth revision of the X11 extended command menu. Add a new
resource to NetHack.ad to control its initial size.
I still hope there's a better way to do this, but this is my last
shot at it.
The three line change I made previously to implement highlighting for
prompts that ask for single-character input was easy and worked well
for a tiles map, but it didn't look very good for a text map. This
handles both text map and tile map and also adds a configurable
'highlight_prompt' X resource to let the user enable or disable the
feature. The resource template file (win/X11/NetHack.ad, copied to
$HACKDIR during install) now has it enabled by default.
The highlighting--more specifically, the "lowlighting" when no prompt
is active--still looks bad if the map window has a vertical scrollbar
on left edge. I don't have any inspiration about how to fix that up.
If the user hasn't explicitly loaded application defaults (which I
haven't been doing), the X11 interface behaves differently if invoked
via the shell script than if the executable is run directly, because
the script sets up a path so that X can find $HACKDIR/NetHack.ad.
This hides the difference by reading in that file during initialization
and feeding its contents to XtAppInitialize as fallback resources.
For the 'slow' config (prompting for single-char input done on a
fixed line at the top of the map rather than via a popup window),
invert the background and foreground when creating it so that it
looks like part of the map, then invert again when a prompt is
active in order to highlight that prompt.
Free askname's widgets after use and free getlin's and yn_function's
persistent widgets at end of game.
When loading an entire text file into one long string in memory,
use strcpy on a pointer to the end of the string instead of having
strcat repeatedly churn through the entire string as it grows for
each line. [Since that's only used for small help files (biggest
is dat/history), this optimization is probably not noticeable.]
Also, a handful of new comments and quite a bit of reformatting.
Two cosmetic changes for the X11 version of the getlin() routine:
1) Make the text entry box big enough to hold 60 characters before
sliding the beginning input off the left edge, instead of just 13,
so that user can see much more of what is being typed;
2) Make the cancel button be a little wider, and the okay button be
the same width as the cancel button so they look a little nicer.
I'll push a formatting guide at some point. There may still be
outstanding changes, but please feel free to resolve those as you arrive
a them.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no changes to the actual code
content, but the formatter does have the occasional bug. If you run into
an issue, please fix it!
Suppress close to 400 warnings generated by gcc on the win/X11/*.c code,
most due to -Wwrite-strings which makes string literals implicitly have
the 'const' attribute. (Since modifying a string literal results in
undefined behavior, that is an appropriate check to have enabled, but
it can be troublesome since string literals have type 'char *' and code
that uses them that way is correct provided it avoids modifying them.)
113 warning: initialization discards qualifiers from pointer target type
127 warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type
29 warning: passing argument discards qualifiers from pointer target type
109 warning: unused parameter
12 warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
The nhStr() hack casts to 'char *', explicitly removing 'const', for
situations where it isn't feasible to make code directly honor const.
The vast marjority of uses are for the second parameter to XtSetArg(),
which is a macro that actually performs an assignment with the second
argument rather than passing it in a function. It takes values like
'XtNtop', which doesn't need to be altered (although in many places I
changed that to nhStr(XtNtop) for uniformity with the surrounding code,
and 'XtNbottom', which does need to have the extra const stripping to
avoid a warning. Go figure.
The nhUse() hack actually uses its argument in a meaningless way if the
code is compiled with FORCE_ARG_USAGE defined. When GCC_WARN is defined,
FORCE_ARG_USAGE will be enabled if it hasn't been already. Example:
/*ARGUSED*/
int foo(arg)
int arg; /* not used */
{
+ nhUse(arg);
return 0;
}
The extra line will expand to ';' when FORCE_ARG_USAGE is not defined
or too
nhUse_dummy += (unsigned)arg;
when it is. I figured direct assignment might lead to a different
warning by some compilers in a situation like
nhUse(arg);
nhUse(otherarg);
where the first assignment would be clobbered by the second, and using
bitwise operations or safer '+= (arg != 0)' would most likely generate
more non-useful code. Some tweaking might turn out to be necessary.
Allow the 'I' command to show inventory of known blessed items via
pseudo object classes B, C, U, and X. That's instead of an showing
inventory of specific object class. The two can't be combined
because 'I' operates on single character input.
I had to modify tty_yn_function to prevent it from forcing a BUCX
character into lower case (simply using lower case would cause a
conflict with 'u' and 'x' for inventory of shopping bill), and did
that by checking whether any of the acceptable response characters
are upper case. Pretty straightforward and shouldn't impact any
other uses that don't specify upper case choices.
I did the same thing for X11. Other interfaces most likely need
to do something similar. If they don't, a response of 'B' or 'C'
(for menustyle:traditional or menustyle:combination) will simply
not work, without causing any problems, same as typing an invalid
choice, and 'U' or 'X' will give shop feedback instead of the
requested subset of inventory.
The Guidebook revisions are untested.
Part II of the bones tracking patch. Change umpteen different outrip()
routines to handle its new time_t argument, and use formatkiller() instead
of directly accessing killer.{format,name} and killed_by_prefix[]. The
latter is now static within formatkiller().
The many sys/* and win/* changes are untested....
Remove date.h and patchlevel.h from win/tty/wintty.c, win/X11/winX.c,
and sys/share/pcmain.c (caveat: the latter two are untested) so that they
don't get recompiled every time any other source file changes and triggers
creation of a new date.h. Only version.c needs to be recompiled in that
situation. Also, Makefile.src was missing a reference to botl.h.
Pat noted that I neglected to drop the SCCS lines on the files I've been
committing, so clean up those and any others I could find where the SCCS
line date is out of date.
Provide a mechanism for cleanly moving between tentative window system
selections during startup. Now, before a second (or later) system is selected,
the first will be notified that it is losing control. See window.doc.
Tested on the unix port; I've updated as many other ports as I can figure
out but they're not tested. See window.doc for info on the changed banner
lines. Also adds the ability to override the generic "Unix" port - used now to get
"MacOSX" into the version line instead of "Unix" (so we don't scare people who don't
know what's going on).
PORTS: Please make sure I've done the right thing for/to your code.
This patch adds a new winproc that lets the window port approve or cancel
the suspend request - this should take care of the Mac Qt lockup issue.
In addition, Unix suspend is restricted to accounts that can use the shell
if SYSCF is defined.
Explicitly truncate the query prompt string to QBUFSZ-1 characters.
For tty and Amiga, no longer include the choices and default within that
length limit; use a bigger buffer to hold them along with the prompt.
[See cvs log for doc/window.doc for more details.]
Add putmixed() to the window port. It allows map symbols to
be included in the string by encoding them in a unique fashion.
This was done because Unicode symbols, for instance, could be
longer than the size of a char.
The encoding of the map symbols in this patch is done by
prefixing a glyph value with \GXXXX, where XXXX is a
random value for the current game. The reason for the random
prefix is to minimize the possibility that a player can trigger
the escape sequence processing within text under their control
(dog names, etc.) the way they could if the sequence was fixed
in the source code. The random prefix remains the same throughout
the lifetime of a game because message window strings are
saved in the save file.
(There was actually a bug present because of the embedded
character even before the recent symbol changes, because if
someone was using a different set of characters between games,
the saved messages would reflect the original characters, rather
than the current. That bug was introduced with the ability to
save messages to the savefile.)
A window port does not have to supply an XXX_putmixed() routine,
it can use genl_putmixed() which uses the old behavior of
embedding the sequence as a character within the string
and calling putstr(). genl_putmixed() takes care of the decoding
of the escape sequence.
This also #ifdef's out code in pager.c for converting a glyph
to a character, and uses mapglyph() to do that instead. Does
anyone see a problem with doing that through mapglyph instead
of repeating similar code within pager.c?
It appears that the Athena text widget in recent XFree86 distributions
does not properly honor the XawtextScrollWhenNeeded flag, so the text
widget created by X11_display_file() does not have a vertical scroll bar
when the text does not entirely fit in the window. I have seen this bug
in XFree86 versions from 4.0.2 through 4.3.0. Using XawtextScrollAlways
for the vertical scrollbar ensures it will always appear.
This provides the core support needed for status field highlighting.
This patch doesn't actually perform status field highlighting for any port,
but provides the core hooks for doing so.
The syntax is:
OPTIONS=hilite_status:{fieldname}/{threshold}/{below}/{above}
where {fieldname} is the name of a status field.
{threshold} is the value used as the threshold to trigger a display
change. It can also be set to "updown" to trigger
a display change whenever it rises or whenever it falls.
If you end the threshold value with %, then it signifies
that you want to trigger the display change based on the
percentage of maximum.
{below}, {above}
are the color or display attribute that you want to use when
the field value is underneath the threshold. Supported display
fields are: normal, inverse, bold, black, red, green,
brown, blue, magenta, cyan, gray, orange,
bright-green, yellow, bright-blue, bright-magenta,
bright-cyan, or white.
Valid field names are:
alignment, armor-class, carrying-capacity,
charisma, condition, constitution, dexterity,
dungeon-level, experience-level, experience,
gold, HD, hitpoints-max, hitpoints, hunger,
intelligence, power-max, power, score,
strength, time, title, wisdom
Refer to window.doc for details. Guidebook updates to come later.
Introduction of a new set of window port status display
routines. The new routines are conditional on
STATUS_VIA_WINDOWPORT
being defined in config.h. See the experimental section,
where the #define resides for the time being.
I noticed a few panic messages contained newlines, and one included a naked
carriage return. panic() adds a newline itself, and also generally ensures
the message will be on a new line (the initial "oops" ensures the message
itself will be on a new lines). This patch removes the unneeded characters.

This seemed like a reasonable request. This patch:
- adds the core support required.
- adds the tty supporting routines.
Prompted by a question from Pat a long time back, this change finally allows
tiles or text map mode to be chosen dynamically at runtime (using the
"tiled_map" option) rather than having to pick it via an X resource and
keep your selection until you exit. This brings map mode selection up to a
level similar to most other graphical window ports.
In addition, the map mode automatically switches to text on the Rogue
level, also like other graphical window ports.
The default mode for the X11 binary is now tiles, once again, like most (all?)
other graphical window ports.
The patch also removes some dead X11 code that is unlikely to be useful again.
This is an initial round of SAFERHANGUP hangup changes. It introduces
SAFERHANGUP, provides the core framework, and enables it for UNIX.
Window-port changes are provided for win/tty, win/X11 and win/gnome. Qt
changes should be forthcoming after having Warwick look at them.
window.doc is updated so windowport maintainers have an clue what needs to
be done to support SAFERHANGUP.
<Someone> wishes to add a couple of new options to the wince port ("run fullscreen" and "do not use CE software keyboard").
The wincap field was full, so this adds a second field for
additional options.
to allow common parsing in the core, and direct access to the
results by the window port.
Notes:
o Adds a new field, wincap, to the window_procs
structure for setting bits related to the preference
features that the window port supports. This allows
run-time determination of whether a particular option
setting is applicable to the running window port. A
window-port is free to support as many, or as few,
of the available options as it wants. Ensure that
only the ones supported have their corresponding bit
set in window_proc.wincap. [see chart in
doc/window.doc for help with that.]
o The settings I stuck into wincap for each window
port are almost certainly not accurate, so each port
team should review them. You should only include
the ones that you will actually react to and make
adjustments for if the user changes that option.
Without the setting in wincap, the option won't even
show up in the 'O'ptions menu.
o preference_update() added to the window-port
interface, so that the window-port can be notified
if an option of interest (an option with its
corresponding bit set in wincap field) is
changed.
o provided a genl_preference_update() routine in
windows.c and used it for all the existing
window ports since they don't have a functional
one of their own yet.
o this messes around heavily with iflags and the options
arrays in options.c
o I hope I didn't break any port's existing code. I
tried not to. The Mac however, in particular, should
be looked at because it suffered a namespace collision
with what I was working on around fontname. It had
Mac specific font stuff in options.c. Please test
the Mac.
