This implements the mechanics to use the ctrl_nhwindow() interface
capability to pass down a setting change from the core to the active
window port, without resorting to accessing a core global variable
from within the window port, and without altering the interface..
The passed setting is honored in the tty and curses window ports.
X11 and mswin receive and store the values, but no implementation
to change the menu prompt style is there yet.
Qt does not store the values or have an implementation.
The setting change is done in allmain.c immediately after
creating the WIN_INVEN window.
Instead of just accepting an attribute, it's now possible to
use a color, or both color and attribute, for example:
OPTIONS=menu_headings:inverse
OPTIONS=menu_headings:red
OPTIONS=menu_headings:red&underline
Default is still just inverse.
This lets the player change the menu heading color without
needing to use menu colors for them.
Also makes it so the core uses NO_COLOR instead of 0, for all
the menu lines which don't have any prefedefined color.
Tested for tty, curses, x11, qt, and win32
If there's room, avoid writing the column indicator (when one or more
entries have been truncated due to insufficient window width) on an
entry. Only applies to first page so only matters if sortpack is off.
Also, for windowborders=3 or 4, where the map, message, and status
windows have borders but the perm_invent one doesn't, insert a blank
line at the top when there is only one line of output (such as "not
carrying anything") so that it lines up with the top line inside the
adjacent window rather than with that window's top border. No effect
when perm_invent itself has a border or when none of the others do.
The default engraving-in-corridor character is the same as the default
corridor symbol (and also default lit corridor one), distinguished by
color. Show it differently (in inverse vidoe, like lava vs water and
sink vs fountain) if color is Off.
It might be better to change the engraving-in-room symbol to be the
same as the room one so that they'll be more consistent with corridors;
color is probably sufficient without resorting to back-tick. But this
update hasn't done that.
We received a report from someone whose build was failing because
of the use of cchar_t and setcchar(). They were getting errors
even though they were using an up-to-date curses library.
Apparently, ncurses requires that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED must be
defined before the curses header files in order for those features
to be available.
We had already updated our .370 series of hints and hints/include
files with
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1
but this person must have been building in some other way.
Instead of failing to build in that situation, allow the
fallback to the older, less-functional genl_putmixed() function,
but also try not to do so silently and display a message that
functionality is reduced.
The difference between the use of genl_putmixed() and
curses_putmixed() or tty_putmixed(), is that when doing
'/' farlook operations, curses_putmixed() and tty_putmixed() try to
display a character in the message window that looks exactly the same
as the one on the map, even if a symbol from a symset is being used
on the map, or when using ENHANCED_SYMBOLS.
Related note: curses_putmixed() matches the symbol and the color,
whereas tty_putmixed() (at present) does not attempt to match the
color.
The curses interface was using genl_putmixed() which doesn't
preserve the symbol actually used for a glyph on the display.
This is a first-attempt at implementing curses_putmixed().

Entering a multi-digit count when selecting from a menu in the curses
interface causes the menu to disappear. Report was about putting a
large subset of an object stack into a container but the bug affected
all menus that accepted counts.
curses_get_count() was changed to call core's get_count() quite a
while back. get_count() calls mark_synch() when more that one digit
is typed or when backspace to remove the first digit occurs.
curses_mark_synch() had been a no-op but more recently it was changed
to try to make sure that the screen was up to date. But it did that
by refreshing the persistent windows, making any temporary popup menu
or text window become hidden. Also, the count-in-progress is being
sent to the message window with the no-history flag, so refreshing
the message window removed that too.
Switch curses_mark_synch() to use the basic screen refresh call that
doesn't do anything window-specific. This also changes menu count
handling to have get_count() echo the number starting with the first
digit instead of waiting until the second.
If anything in the menu makes it be very wide it can cover up the
message window and any count being echoed there won't be visible.
I'm not going to try to figure out how to deal with that; it isn't
all that different from the old single-digit/unseen-count behavior.
While watching a ttyrec, I noticed strange behaviour in
the cursor updates; it was moved to approximately middle
of the map window every so often, usually when doing ranged
attacks. This wasn't really noticeable in normal gameplay,
as it was moving the cursor there, and then almost immediately
to where it was supposed to be.
I managed to trace it down to the refresh() in curses_delay_output().
That call updates the terminal to match the ncurses stdscr window,
but the stdscr window cursor position wasn't updated by NetHack.
From the newsgroup: identifying by menu pops up multiple menus in
succession if the player picks fewer invent entries than are being
granted, but the second and subsequent ones could cover up the
message window and hide the feedback from prior ones.
If multiple popup menus are needed when identifying, issue --More--
before each menu after the first. The code seemed to be trying to
do this already, but it should have used wait_synch() rather than
mark_synch(), or perhaps used display_nhwindow(WIN_MESSAGE, TRUE)
instead of either one of those. For curses, both mark_synch() and
wait_synch() were no-ops. Now they do something. X11's behavior
wasn't right either; it seemed to be lagging one message behind
(something I had noticed recently and then forgotten about; I still
don't remember the context then so don't know whether this fixes
that earlier situation).
This ended up combining several unrelated changes.
Add missing 'fixes' entry for curses-specific item in New Features.
When answering "Shall I pick ... for you? [ynaq]", accept \m as well
as \n and space for choosing the default of 'y', same as normal
ynaq() would. Also add '*' to '@' as not-shown potential answers;
they force 'random'.
When tty tore down any of the menus, things were reasonable if they
were short enough for corner windows, but tall ones that switch to
full screen weren't fully erased. The parts of those outside of the
map window stayed behind when the tall menu was closed and cleared.
Mainly affects picking the "~ - reset filtering" choice but also
affected the role menu on 24 line tty screens. (Didn't affect curses
because it tracks and refreshes its base window when some overlaying
window goes away.)
The role menu used 25 lines so required a second page for the case
of a 24 line screen on tty. Dealing with that is a bit ugly but it
wasn't an issue when this form of role selection was tty-only (because
the info about choices made so far was displayed on the base window
rather than in an extra menu line back then) so I added a hack for it.
If the role menu will take one more line than the screen height, the
separator between 'random' (below 'Wizard') and 'pick race first' gets
squeezed out. If the menu needs two more lines (doesn't happen now,
except by changing screen size to 23 lines for testing), a second line
gets squeezed out. (Not attempted for curses because it wouldn't
help. 'windowborders' and one or two extra separators it adds make
menus taller. I doubt if many players use curses on 24-line screens
but if they do, they'll be using something new rather than going from
something that used to fit on one page with 3.6.x.)
Move the tty role/race/&c selection from wintty.c to role.c and remove
its references to BASE_WINDOW. Have curses call the same routine now
so that the player has the option to choose role, race, gender, and
alignment in any order and to confirm or override random settings
prior to starting play. Also if you went through "who are you?" then
final confirmation includes an extra menu choice to rename the hero.
It still has the quirk of sometimes remembering some of the previous
aspects when you re-pick a new value for some aspect which already
been selected.
The menus pop up on top of the copyright screen and that looks a bit
strange. I don't think core code has any way to erase that base
window without erasing the entire screen so to fix the strangeness
the window ports would need to do that before calling the selection
routine. I didn't do that because the very first prompt, "Shall I
pick ... for you? [ynaq]" shows up in that window rather than in a
popup over it, and having it be all by itself on an otherwise blank
screen seemed to be even stranger.
X11 and Qt both have more sophisticated selection routines so I
haven't tried to switch either of them to use this. They both use a
fancy role-selection-specific menu with all the aspects present at
once so this wouldn't fit without more work than I care to tackle.
The consolidation of global variables from scattered source
files into decl.c and declared in decl.h was begun in 3.7.0.
Their placement in common files was done for centralized
initialization and potential re-initialization during a
"play again" scenario.
It wasn't really necessary for all of them to be housed in a
single huge structure to meet the "play again" requirement,
and the single huge structure has been a little unwieldy when
it comes to maintenance.
Following this commit, instead of one single extremely large structure
named 'g' to house all of the relocated global variables, they
are distributed into several ga through gz.
To make things easy for the developer, each variable is placed
into the struct corresponding to the starting letter of the variable.
That way, no lookup is required in order to know which struct houses
a particular variable, it is a simple match to the starting letter
for all the centralized global variables.
A global variable named 'amulets', would be found in ga.
ga.amulets
^ ^
A global varable named 'move', would be found in gm.
gm.moves
^ ^
A global variable named 'val_for_n_or_more' would be found in gv.
gv.val_for_n_or_more
^ ^
A global variable named 'youmonst' would be found in gy.

* When saving: curses_exit_nhwindows calls curses_uncurse_terminal,
which calls endwin. curses_exit_nhwindows then calls raw_print,
which calls more Curses functions after endwin has been called.
Fix this by having curses_raw_print use puts if window_inited
is false.
* When dying, quitting, etc.: really_done opens the "Goodbye" window,
which refreshes the other windows when it closes. But the status
window (and possibly the map and message windows) are gone by that
point. The window pointers are properly NULLed, but the NULL is then
passed to touchwin. Fix this by checking window pointers for NULL.
Redo the fix for using doset(#optionsfull) to toggle perm_invent
under curses. Move it to curses code and let the core be unaware
of it. It does the perm_invent update twice when creating the
window for that.
Enabling perm_invent with 'O' ('m O' these days) with curses used to
work but stopped at some point. Analysis by entrez has attributed
the change to the g.program_state.in_docrt flag in docrt(). When
curses creates the perm_invent window for update_inventory(), it
calls docrt() to have nethack redraw the screen.
docrt() -> update_inventory() -> curses_update_inventory() -> ...
-> curs_reset_windows() -> doredraw() -> docrt() [early return]
resulted in room for the persistent inventory window but it was
blank.
This also replaces a couple of doredraw() calls with direct calls to
docrt() (one in code that isn't used). doredraw() implements a user
command; docrt() does the actual redrawing.
The 'wizmgender' option is flagged as 'wizonly' in optlist.h but that
doesn't prevent it from being set in NETHACKOPTIONS or .nethackrc.
Apply the fix from entrez to only honor it when running in wizard
mode.
The wizard-mode option to highlight female monsters stopped having any
in-game effect after cb0c21e. Formerly it caused female monsters to be
highlighted with a red background (red color + inverse); this commit
uses inverse video only without overriding their color. Ensuring the
color override works consistently with the ENHANCED_SYMBOLS 24-bit color
doesn't seem worth it for what is a very niche debugging option, and I
think inverse video should probably suffice.
It also used to be a TTY-only option, but this enables it in curses as
well.
Change the inner workings of the experimental TTY_PERM_INVENT.
Switch to delivering the content to tty for the experimental perm_invent
via the existing window port interface (start_menu(), add_menu(), end_menu).
This also adds a new window port interface call ctrl_nhwindow() for
delivering information to the window port, and/or obtaining specific
information from the window port. The information and requests can
be extended as required. To be documented later once the changes settle
down.
Due to the intrusive nature of these changes and the possibility of
some bugs in the new code, I'm going to leave TTY_PERM_INVENT commented
out in the repository for a day or two. Anyone wishing to test it out
can do so by uncommenting TTY_PERM_INVENT in config.h.
One of the drivers of this change was that screen coordinates require a
type that can hold values greater than 127. Parameters to the window
port routines require a large type in order to be able to have values
a fair bit larger than COLNO and ROWNO passed to them, particularly for
their use to the right of the map window.
This splits the uses of xchar into 3 different situations, and adjusts
their type and size:
xchar
|
-----------------------
| | |
coordxy xint16 xint8
coordxy: Actual x or y coordinates for various things (moved to 16-bits).
xint16: Same data size as coordxy, but for non-coordinate use (16-bits).
xint8: There are only a few use cases initially, where it was very
plain to see that the variable could remain as 8-bits, rather
than be bumped to 16-bits. There are probably more such cases
that could be changed after additional review.
Note: This first changed all xchar variables to coordxy. Some were
reviewed and got changed to xint16 or xint8 when it became apparent that
their usage was not for coordinates.
This increments EDITLEVEL in patchlevel.h
Add a non-string identifier to window_procs for use in runtime
identification of the current window port being used.
Use a macro WPID to add the identification at the top of the
various existing window_procs declarations. It expands to the
existing text string, as well as the newly added field wp_id
with a wp_ identifier.
For example, WPID(tty) expands to: "tty", wp_tty
The generated wp_tty must be present in the wp_ids enum at
the top of include/winprocs.h.
The WINDOWPORT(x) macro has been updated to expand to a simple
value comparison (port.wp_id == wp_x), instead of a
string comparison.
(user-side decisions really, but as it stands right now
user-side decisions/options are made and processed by the core)
add a parameter to add_menu so color can be passed
Add a new window-port interface function
perminvent_info *
update_invent_slot(winid window, int slot, perminvent_info *);
That should be nice and flexible and allow exchanges of useful
information between the core and the window port. Information
to be exchange can be easily modified in include/wintype.h as
things evolve.
Information useful to the core can be exchanged from the
window-port in struct to_core.
Information useful from the core to the window-port can be
passed in struct from_core.
I'm not going to update any docs until much later after things
are fully working and settled.
This also doesn't fix or have anything to do with existing
TTY_PERM_INVENT issues.
A new feature, enabled by default to maximize testing, but one which can
be disabled by commenting it out in config.h
With this, some additional information is added to the glyphmap entries
in a new optional substructure called u with these fields:
ucolor RGB color for use with truecolor terminals/platforms.
A ucolor value of zero means "not set." The actual
rgb value of 0 has the 0x1000000 bit set.
u256coloridx 256 color index value for use with 256 color
terminals, the closest color match to ucolor.
utf8str Custom representation via utf-8 string (can be null).
There is a new symset included in the symbols file, called enhanced1.
Some initial code has been added to parse individual
OPTIONS=glyph:glyphid/R-G-B entries in the config file.
The glyphid can, in theory, either be an individual glyph (G_* glyphid)
for a single glyph, or it can be an existing symbol S_ value
(monster, object, or cmap symbol) to store the custom representation for
all the glyphs that match that symbol.
Examples:
OPTIONS=glyph:G_fountain/U+03A8/0-150-255
(Your platform/terminal font needs to be able to include/display the
character, of course.)
The NetHack core code does parsing and storing the customized
entries, and adding them to the glyphmap data structure.
Any window port can utilize the additional information in the glyphinfo
that is passed to them, once code is added to do so.
Also, consolidate some symbol-related code into symbols.c, and remove it from
files.c and options.c
In a curses menu, if you type a digit to start a count, the cursor
jumps to the spot on the screen where the hero is. Strange and very
noticeable if that spot is covered by the menu, although I didn't
notice it when working on digits as group accelerators (changes for
that didn't trigger this).
Despite the cursor_on_u location, it isn't related to the recent
flush_screen/cursor_on_u changes either. In 3.6.x, curses used it's
own count entry code. Early on with to-be-3.7 it was changed to use
the core's get_count(), so uses a different routine to get next input
character. And the curses edition of that routine deliberately
positions the cursor at the hero's location on the assumption that
it only gets called when the map window is active.
Switch from 'moves' to 'hero_seq' for tracking whether consecutive
messages were issued on the same move and for whether current move
is still same one after played has responded to --More-- with ESC.
This is comparable to the recent fix for tty. When messages aren't
currently being suppressed by use of ESC at --More-- (">>" for
curses), if an urgent message itself triggers --More--, don't start
suppressing messages if player dismisses it with ESC.
