Death will revive faster than the other riders.
Make all the riders revive after 67 turns, instead of 500.
There was practically a zero chance a rider would revive at 500,
so keep it somewhat sensible.
While testing some addtional ?i (list of key assignments)
changes, I wanted to give every key a binding. When I tried
BIND=M-^A:exploremode
the text to key conversion didn't like that. This adds support
for M-^x and M-C-x plus variations where dashes are omitted.
This adds support for ^? even though that isn't really a
control character. I bound #terrain to it and surprising--to
me at least--the <delete> key worked to invoke that command.
Also changes 'char txt2key(...)' to be 'uchar txt2key(...)'.
I started activating new program_state.saving and discovered that
saving of ball and chain could access freed memory. The change
for the former and fix for the latter are mixed together here (but
easily distinguishable).
The saving flag inhibits status updating and perm_invent updating,
also map updating that goes through flush_screen(). That should
fix the exception triggered after an impossible warning was issued
during a save operation. impossible() goes through pline() which
tries to bring the screen up to date before issuing a message.
During save, data for that update can be in an inconsistent state.
The code to save ball and/or chain when not on floor or in invent
(I think swallowed is the only expected case) was examining the
memory pointed to by uball and uchain even if saving the level had
just freed floor objects and saving invent had just freed carried
objects. So for the usual cases, stale pointer values for uball
and uchain would be present and checking their obj->where field
was not reliable.
Kicking a container that had gold in it took the gold amount
away from hero's credit or added to hero's debt, then didn't
give a refund if the container and its gold landed within the
shop. Throwing behaved likewise, just less verbosely.
The problem is caused by addtobill() treating gold specially
and then subfrombill() not being able to perform a reverse
operation. Actually, it may be possible for subfrombill() to
do that, but verifying all its uses is too much work. This
moves the gold handling for drop+selling into its own routine
and adds calls to that for the throwing and kicking refunds.
The other calls to subfrombill() outside of shk.c appear to be
ok as-is. (The calls inside that file are the ones that still
need evaluation if the gold handling is to move to there.)
bill_dummy_object() now uses the same o_id assignment for its
dummy object as split_object() does for its new partial stack.
I don't know whether the old code led to any price glitches.
