Art Contribution: Differentiating gendered monster tiles PR #430
From the pull request author NullCGT:
This pull request is a response to 0c3b964, in which nhmall expressed interest in contributions that would make gendered tiles visually distinguishable from one another. Since I've spent way too many hours editing NetHack's default tileset and the thought of trying to merge this commit into my variant gives me an absurdly massive headache, I thought I would have a go at it!
Making tiles of different genders distinct in NetHack presents an interesting problem. While it would be fun to create highly distinct tiles for every gender, doing so would reduce the accessibility of the game, since players would have to remember many more tiles, and might end up confusing one monster for another. Visual clarity is key.
Therefore, I had the following goals when creating this pull request:
1. If there is an interesting way to differentiate tiles by gender, do so.
2. Any sort of differentiation should be minor enough that a user can still tell what a monster is at a glance. Essentially, visual clarity comes before differentiation by gender.
3. Try to use a "TDTTOE method" of differentiating tiles. For example, female cats are more colorful than males, because generally male cats have only two colors of fur. Basically, I spent a lot of time on wikipedia researching sex characteristics of different species.
4. Try not to fall into "female = longer hair / eyelashes." While this feature will unfortunately require some gender-essentialist visual shorthand, this tropes is overdone and exhausting.
Please let me know what you think; I'm totally open to feedback on all of this and happy to make modifications. I've attached the resulting tiles file to this post in png form.
The alterations made in this pull request are as follows:
- Female ants are slightly larger than male ants, just like in real life. I could have added wings to the male ants, but I felt that doing so would lead to some confusion.
- Female wolves are slightly smaller than male wolves. There wasn't a great way to show this without making winter wolves look very similar to winter wolf cubs, so I just made the female wolves tails slightly shorter.
- Calico cats are almost exclusively female, so I turned the female cats into calico cats. The other piece of logic behind this choice was that players will probably really enjoy seeing different variants of their pets.
- Female hobbits, minotaurs, humans, werecreatures, and aleaxes wear slightly different clothing.
- Dwarfs are not differentiated in any way whatsoever. According to Terry Pratchett (in Unseen Academicals, if I remember correctly) it is almost impossible to tell what gender a dwarf is, even for fellow dwarfs. I strongly believe that NetHack should follow this tradition.
- Female leprechauns, archons, frost giants, guards, and all types of gnomes are clean-shaven. Although of course not one hundred percent accurate, it's convenient visual shorthand.
- Centaur tiles have no differentiation because the different types of centaurs are already extremely difficult to tell apart from one another.
- Female ogre tyrants and elven monarchs have slightly different crowns.
- Female quantum mechanics have a different hairstyle and no beard. Genetic engineers look the same, because the genetic engineer tile is perfect.
- Female barrow wights look like old grandmothers with flyaway hair. I kept the hair color the same and used a similar quantity of pixels so that they look similar enough to the males that you can tell they are barrow wights.
- Female archeologist tile is a reference to a certain archeologist known for raiding tombs.

pmnames mons gender naming plus a window port interface change
add MALE, FEMALE, and gender-neutral names for individual monster species
to the mons array. The gender-neutral name (NEUTRAL) is mandatory, the
MALE and FEMALE versions are not.
replace code uses of the mname field of permonst with one of the three
potentially-available gender-specific names.
consolidate some separate mons entries that differed only by species into a
single mons entry (caveman, cavewoman and priest,priestess etc.)
consolidate several "* lord" and "* queen/* king" monst entries into
their single species, and allow both genders on some where it makes some
sense (there is probably more work and cleanup to come out of this at some
point, and the chosen gender-neutral name variations are not cast in stone
if someone has better suggestions).
related function or macro additions:
pmname(pm, gender) to get the gender variation of the permonst name. It
guards against monsters that haven't got anything except NEUTRAL naming
and falls back to the NEUTRAL version if FEMALE and MALE versions are
missing.
Ugender to obtain the current hero gender.
Mgender(mtmp) to obtain the gender of a monster
While the code can safely refer directly to pmnames[NEUTRAL] safely in the
code because it always exists, the other two (pmnames[MALE] and
pmnames[FEMALE] may not exist so use:
pmname(ptr, gidx)
where -ptr is a permonst *
-gidx is an index into the pmnames array field of the
permonst struct
pmname() checks for a valid index and checks for null-pointers for
pmnames[MALE] and pmnames[FEMALE], and will fall back to pmnames[NEUTRAL] if
the pointer requested if the requested variation is unavailable, or if the
gidx is out-of-range.
Allow code to specify makemon flags to request female or male (via MM_MALE
and MM_FEMALE flags respectively)to makedefs, since the species alone doesn't
distinguish male/female anymore. Specifying MM_MALE or MM_FEMALE won't
override the pm M2_MALE and M2_FEMALE flags on a mons[] entry.
male and female tiles have been added to win/share/monsters.txt.
The majority are duplicated placeholders except for those that were
separate mons entries before. Perhaps someone will contribute artwork in the
future to make the male and female variations visually distinguishable.
tilemapping via has the MALE tile indexes in the glyph2tile[]
array produced at build time. If a window port has information that the
FEMALE tile is required, it just has to increment the index returned
from the glyph2tile[] array by 1.
statues already preserved gender of the monster through STATUE_FEMALE
and STATUE_MALE, so ensure that pmnames takes that into consideration.
I expect some refinement will be required after broad play-testing puts it to
the test.
consolidate caveman,cavewoman and priest,priestess monst.c entries etc
This commit will require a bump of editlevel in patchlevel.h because it alters
the index numbers of the monsters due to the consolidation of some. Those
index numbers are saved in some other structures, even though the mons[] array
itself is not part of the savefile.
Window Port Interface Change
Also add a parameter to print_glyph to convey additional information beyond
the glyph to the window ports. Every single window port was calling back to
mapglyph for the information anyway, so just included it in the interface and
produce the information right in the display core.
The mapglyph() function uses will be eliminated, although there are still some
in the code yet to be dealt with.
win32, tty, x11, Qt, msdos window ports have all had adjustments done to
utilize the new parameter instead of calling mapglyph, but some of those
window ports have not been thoroughly tested since the changes.
Interface change additional info:
print_glyph(window, x, y, glyph, bkglyph, *glyphmod)
-- Print the glyph at (x,y) on the given window. Glyphs are
integers at the interface, mapped to whatever the window-
port wants (symbol, font, color, attributes, ...there's
a 1-1 map between glyphs and distinct things on the map).
-- bkglyph is a background glyph for potential use by some
graphical or tiled environments to allow the depiction
to fall against a background consistent with the grid
around x,y. If bkglyph is NO_GLYPH, then the parameter
should be ignored (do nothing with it).
-- glyphmod provides extended information about the glyph
that window ports can use to enhance the display in
various ways.
unsigned int glyphmod[NUM_GLYPHMOD]
where:
glyphmod[GM_TTYCHAR] is the text characters associated
with the original NetHack display.
glyphmod[GM_FLAGS] are the special flags that denote
additional information that window
ports can use.
glyphmod[GM_COLOR] is the text character
color associated with the original
NetHack display.
Support for including the glyphmod info in the display glyph buffer
alongside the glyph itself was added and is the default operation.
That can be turned off by defining UNBUFFERED_GLYPHMOD at compile time.
With UNBUFFERED_GLYPHMOD operation, a call will be placed to map_glyphmod()
immediately prior to every print_glyph() call.

Binding 'repeat' (DOAGAIN, or redo) to a different key than ^A
didn't work as intended because the code that used it was
checking for DOAGAIN (a key value from config.h) instead of
g.Cmd.spkeys[NHKF_DOAGAIN] (the key currently bound to repeat).
Contrary to the github issue, re-bound prefix keys worked ok for
me if followed by a direction. However, they behaved strangely
if followed by anything else. If the keystroke was stolen from
some other command and that command hadn't been bound to another
key, following the prefix with a non-direction could end up
executing the command that used to own the key. For example,
BIND=d:nopickup
to use 'd' to move without auto-pickup would work if you used
d<direction> but if you used d<something-else> if would execute
the drop command.
The NHKF_REQMENU prefix could be bound to some key other than
'm' but it only worked as intended if the new key was a movement
prefix.
This also makes DOAGAIN be unconditional. If it is deleted or
commented out in config.h, the default binding will be '\000' so
unusable (freeing up ^A for something), but still be available
to be bound to some key (perhaps even ^A).
This also includes an unrelated change to mdlib.c. The comments
added to config.h will force a full rebuild. Changing mdlib.c
now rather than separately will avoid forcing that twice.

This allows the player to choose sorting order via the new

Choices are:
o - sort by class, by order of discovery in class (default);
s - sort by 'sortloot' classification which groups sub-class
items (so all helmets before any other armor, then all
gloves, then boots, and so on); within each sub-class, or
whole class for classes which don't subdivide so usefully,
partly-discovered types (where a name has been assigned)
come before fully ID'd types;
c - sort by class, alphabetically within class;
a - sort alphabetically across all classes.
Turned out to be a large amount of work for fairly little gain,
although I suspect that 'sortdiscoveries:s' will eventually be
more popular than the default.
