From a bug report, dropping a lit

destroy inventory. If in the process of dropping multiple items, the ones
after the oil might be gone, resulting in use of stale pointers and possibly
triggering an "extract_nobj: object lost" panic or even a crash. While

fix #H3033 - Crash upon teleport onto a sink while equipping levitation boots
From a bug report, being teleported onto
a sink while busy putting on levitation boots triggered a crash when
Boots_on() was called (as '(*aftermv)()' on the next turn) because
'uarmf' would be null by then. Not mentioned, but the same problem was
encountered by Boots_off() if the teleport happened while you were busy
taking boots off. It could be fixed by having having dosinkfall() call
cancel_don() if donning(uarmf) yields true, but this patch does a little
more than that: cancel donning/doffing of any multi-turn armor if you
fall onto a sink. It also prevents you from falling if you end up
flying (which will have been blocked while levitating).
The situation when putting on levitation boots has a sequencing
issue: setworn() causes you to be flagged as levitating immediately,
but the float_up() feedback doesn't occur until Boots_on() gets called
a turn later. Teleporting to the sink will tell you that you crash
onto the sink and and that you stop putting on boots, without having
been told that you've floated up into the air. It's suboptimal but it
doesn't seem to actually be incorrect.

addtional monster movement tweak
Introduce some variation in monster movement by adding and substracting

noticeable except for super-slow monsters not being so glacially slow, since
net +1 is a bigger relative increase for such critters' low movement rates.
In practice, the noticeable effect will be that ordinary speed monsters will
occasionally get an extra move even if/when player keeps the hero unburdened.
Possible extension (although I'm not planning to do it): sort the
monster list by pending movement points, so that faster monsters move before
slower ones. The random variation would become noticeable because groups of

Change extcmd_via_menu() so that the code which guards against overflow

bug; capacity for MAX_EXT_CMD-1 was available, but the last slot was always
left unused except if/when unchecked overflow occured).
When the 'extmenu' boolean was set, typing '#' in wizard mode triggered
a crash. The total number of extended commands exceeded the capacity of
extcmd_via_menu() and the code it had to check for that was only in effect
if DEBUG was defined. This boosts the limit from 40 (actally 38) to 50 (48)

Order of endgame levels was odd: earth followed by astral, water,
fire, and air, because the code didn't know how to insert in front of the
first one visited. Now it does. Placement of endgame levels was sub-

came out last. Now it is forced to come out first, so that it appears
above the dungeon. And use "Plane of Earth" for level name rather than
"Plane 1", and so on for the others, when in the endgame.
Since I'm bumping EDITLEVEL due to adding mapseen.flags.unreachable,
I am also inserting u.uevent.uvibrated now so that it won't trigger another

Add 'o' to "i a v g c" disclosure set, to display final dungeon
overview at end of game. It lists all levels visited rather than just
those that #overview considers to be interesting, but it doesn't reveal
any undiscovered aspects of those levels except for the presence of bones.
(I think revealing shops and altars and such would be worthwhile, but the
data for that isn't handy at the time.) If the game ends due to death,
the bones section of the current level will have "you, <reason you died>"
(before any real bones entries for that level). That occurs before bones
file creation so it doesn't give away whether bones are being saved.
end.c includes some unrelated lint cleanup.
Guidebook.{mn,tex} updates the section for autopickup_exceptions as

"sisterhood" said "itood" instead. Text "%shood" used the post-3.4.3 'h'
modifier to substitute a pronoun in place of the %s value. That's only
a valid modifier when it follows %d (deity), %l (leader), %n (nemesis),
or %o (artifact). Change the substitution routine to leave it as an 'h'
when it follows anything else. [No fixes entry needed.]

64-bit linker had a number of warnings that the 32-bit linker did not.
It turned out to be because the 64-bit compiler is more picky about
declaring DLL exports 2-different ways, even if they are essentially
the same. The 32-bit linkder didn't complain. It is described here:

strdup/dupstr (trunk only)
Add dupstr() as a substitute for strdup() so that out-of-memory
handling will be consistent with the rest of nethack, and make it aware
of nethack's heap logging. It's treated like alloc() so that its caller
can be logged for NH_HEAPLOG.
I put it into use in a few places, but there are lots more candidates
besides the existing calls to strdup() that should be replaced.

wizard bones bug (trunk only)
The wizard mode sequence
load bones? y, unlink bones? y, die, save bones? y
works, but
load bones? y, unlink bones? n, die, save bones? y, replace old bones? y
fails if/when external compression is in use. The file gets uncompressed
before being opened to check its existence, then immediately closed, and
re-compressed, changing the file's name, before the deletion attempt takes
place. Then delete_bonesfile() can't find it via the uncompressed name
and the bones saving code reports "cannot unlink old bones".
The code involved doesn't seem to have changed since the current cvs
repository was set up, so this bug has gone unnoticed for a long time.
There's no reason this fix shouldn't go into the branch too, other than the
fact that I don't have that checked out on this machine. If someone wants
to apply it there, be my guest (and move the fixes entry to fixes34.4).

outrip() updating (trunk only)

bones tracking (trunk only)
[See cvs log for include/rm.h or doc/window.doc for more complete description.]
Attach hero info, death reason, and date+time to a level that's being saved
as bones. Read such data back when loading a bones file, then treat it as
part of that level for the rest of the game. Dying on a loaded bones file
will chain the new hero+death+date to previous one(s) if new bones get saved.
outrip() now takes an extra argument of type time_t, and interface-specific
implementations of this routine need to be updated to handle that.

bones tracking (trunk only)
Quite a long time ago, the developer/administrator of the 'hearse'
bones respository asked to have bones files augmented so that they could
be correlated with logfile entries. He was forced to approximate it by
comparing file date+time with logfile date, which won't work well if there
are multiple deaths at roughly the same time, or perhaps even on the same
day. This adds character name plus role, race, gender, alignment, the
cause of death, and date plus time of death to the bones file when it is
saved, and reads that data in when a bones file is loaded, then retains
it as part of that level for the remainder of the game. Dying on a level
that was loaded from bones will chain the new dead hero info to whatever
was there from the previous one(s). It's written as fixed length strings
padded with spaces before writing the map and its messy details, making
it easy to spot with a simple file browsing tool rather than requiring
something which can interpret nethack level files. This may need to be
tweaked if players start shelling out of nethack to see whether the
checkpoint file for a newly entered level contains bones info, but at the
moment I'm not going to worry about that.
TODO: I wanted the bones and topten date to match, so am obtaining
the current date+time in done() and passing it to both of those and also
to outrip(). Hence the latter now has an additional argument. So far only
genl_outrip() and hup_outrip() in src and the three outrips in win/chain
have been taught about that; interfaces that supply their own outrip()
need to be updated and probably won't compile right now. Also, code for
formatting the cause of death has been moved from topten() into a separate
routine so that the new bones code can share it. genl_outrip() now calls
it too; the various other outrip() routines should be changed to call it
instead of continuing to duplicate that core code. (I probably should
have made topten.c's killed_by_prefix[] be static in order to force that,
but haven't done so.)
TODO too: there ought to be some way of viewing the data for a loaded
bones file from within nethack. I'll probably add something to the dungeon
overview code to treat it as an implicit annotation, as least in wizard mode.
Showing it in normal play once a level is sufficiently discovered would be
useful, but I'm not sure what criteria should control that. Neither ghost
nor grave is guaranteed to be present, particularly for levels that were
saved as bones, loaded into a subsequent game, then became new bones when
the second hero died there, which can occur an arbitrary number of times.

save and restore lint cleanup (trunk only)
Fix a couple of signed vs unsigned and unused paramater warnings
that pointed to actual bugs. uid values were being handled as int, even
though "modern" systems use type uid_t which could be bigger and is almost
certainly unsigned. There haven't been any reports of nethack falsely
claiming that the wrong user is trying to restore, so in practice this
hasn't mattered, but switch from int to unsigned long to make the chance
of problems be even smaller.
The code to save message history was ignoring the 'mode' argument so
would have attepted to write even when asked to free memory instead. It
isn't currently called by freedynamicdata() so the problem was theoretical
rather than real.
The 'UNUSED' macro is inadequate to handle parameters which are used
by some conditional configurations and unused by others, so there are
still several warnings about unused parameters from save.c and restore.c.

dlb capacity (trunk only)
From the newsgroup: if someone adds too many new special levels, dlb
creation during install will give a warning but still exit with success,
and the subsequent installation won't know that the excess files need to be
placed in the playground separately. The result is that some files will
be missing when nethack tries to access them. The newsgroup thread states
that slash'em increased dlb's default limit of 200 files to 300, and the
unnethack variant increased it to 250 and also changed the overflow message
into an error that causes 'make' to quit. (The thread was initiated by
someone working on his own, not affiliated with either variant, who asked
for help figuring out why nethack couldn't find files at the end of the
alphabet. My answer didn't help much; I thought he was working with
separate files rather than with a DLB container.)
I started to go with the too-many-files-is-an-error fix, but instead
went the GNU route ("no arbitrary limits") and made the number of allowed
files become dynamic. It starts at 200 and expands by increments of 40
when necessary.
