R765 - minetn-6 could have cut-off downstairs
minetn-6 includes a MAP along with the flags that cause it to be cavernous.
However, the caverns get generated before the MAP is adde the level. Other
similar MAPs have open space on their edges, but there were walls on the
lower right edge of minetn-6. Added another column of mostly open space.
This level can still get cut-off areas, but the stairs won't be located there.
R809 - newcham message reorganization
Add a param to newcham() to let it print "The oldmon turns into a newmon!"
rather than always printing this externally. Should ensure a good ordering
of the messages. Also put some special name handling in one place and
catch a couple cases where "saddled" was printed, resulting in funny messages.

R792 - crocodile kicking
Based on the limited research I've done, it does not appear that crocodiles
of any size have legs that can effectively kick doors, chests, et al. They
could kick objects, but kicking a monster would be more of a claw attack.
It's simpler to just print a message in all cases.

R806 - monsters using teleportation on noteleport levels
Bug reported was that Vlad the Impaler never figured out that a wand of
teleportation was useless.
1) Rather than change the monst struct, overload the use of the mtrapseen
TELEP_TRAP bit to be set when a monster uses teleportation on a noteleport
level. This has the side effect of causing the monster to know about
teleport traps if they manage to leave the level.
2) reduce chance for monsters to get teleport wands on noteleport levels,
since they will otherwise simply be left mostly charged for the player.
R812 - tty color/inverse video interaction
With some TERMs, disabling inverse video also disables color.
Work around: explicitly turn off color when turning off inverse video.
Gnome updates (from <Someone> <Someone> Simon)
- fix destruction of primary game windows
- One, it makes the color of the cursor box dynamic (these are the gnmap.c
changes), based on hp/hpmax (continuous colors white -> yellow -> red ->
magenta rather than discrete like in Qt).
- Two, it adds a new window, NHW_WORN (all the other changes and new files
gnworn.[ch]), placed at the end of the first row, to the right of the status,
with tiles of all the items currently equiped. I had to change the spacing of
the first row (no longer homogeneous) to accomodate this, but I think it still
looks okay. It's mostly like the Qt version but the equiped items are in
slightly different places, and a bit more compactly (added quiver, ball/chain,
monster skin armor; see the definition in gnworn.c for the layout).
(the following text accompanies the patch at <Someone>'s web page)
add more configurability to the new msg_window option of [..]3.4.0.
It allows the configuration option to take an optional parameter to
specify the style of message history display to use.
allows the following configuration options:
msg_window:s - single message (as was the default in 3.3.0)
msg_window:c - combination; two messages in 'single', then as 'full'
msg_window:f - full window; oldest message first
msg_window:r - full window reversed; newest message first
In the event of no parameter being provided,
the patch is compatible with the current 3.4.0 behaviour:
msg_window = 'full'
!msg_window = 'single'
msg_window can be configured for these options in the
Options menu (Shift-O)
msg_window stores the current window type in the non-persistent
iflags structure, which means that savefile/bones files should be
100% compatible with Vanilla, but at the disadvantage that your
customisations to msg_window will be replaced with your
defaults.nh (or ~/.nethackrc) value every time you restart a saved game.

From the newsgroup: vault guards would ask your name--and you'd
be able to respond--even when you were unconscious (for any reason

out due to that situation, but it would repeatedly say "move along!"
even though you were unable to move.)

Eliminate or at least reduce one of the idiosyncratic differences

of always asking the player to supply a name for it. If your weapon

a worm tooth and it transforms into a crysknife, you learn the scroll.
However for the negative effect of a cursed one, that's only applicable
when the scroll is already known to be cursed.

fix of a single major trouble mentioned in the block comment
[ Fix a bug reported in the newsgroup; I thought I sent this last
week, but it isn't in the current code so I must have forgotten. ]
When I split u_left_shop() into two routines I neglected to
propagate the early return condition from the second half to the
first. The result is that if you leave a shop with unpaid goods
but have enough credit there to cover the cost, the shopkeeper
will take that credit and be satisified, but the kops were still
getting summoned as if he had been robbed.
waking waiting monsters after non-damaging attacks
- From a bug report, there are ways to, for example, steal items
from Medusa without waking her, by clever use of Conflict.
Avoid this by removing STRAT_WAITFORU when such an attack succeeds
- it was theoretically possible to use a similar approach to steal from a
STRAT_WAITFORU monster without it noticing while polymorphed and very fast,
so bulletproof this case as well. Simpler because failed attacks wake too.
crash fix: shopkeeper re-entering shop
- when a shopkeeper leaves the shop to chase the player, and the player
enters the shop, bill_p is set to an unusual value. bill_p needs to be set
back to a valid value if the shopkeeper re-enters the shop.
- Also, the u.ushops state needs to be updated when a shop becomes tended
again if the player is in the shop.

trap too

- incorporate fix to ensure no extra "." turn at the end of traveling, but
still avoid stepping into traps/pools, et al
- include a general "G"-command (and travel) fix to avoid stepping in
known pools/lava while blind
- when there is no such path, "guess" at a path by finding an intermediate
location that the hero couldsee that is closest to the actual goal, the
intermediate goal is re-determined at each step
- when Blind, don't use couldsee for determining straight paths, just direction
- do not consider doors or most boulders obstacles for picking travel
paths, test_move has a new mode to differentiate this case from the regular
test case
- don't include known trap locations in the travel path, avoids unnecessary
stops along the way, and usually doesn't affect the path length
- reformatted the code a bit so I could follow it
When the Wizard uses STRAT_MONSTR to get next to any monster
which is carrying the Amulet, he was actually displacing the other
monster to take its map location. It was possible--and still is,
actually, although it takes a lot longer now--for the excessive
summoning by spell casting monsters to entirely fill up the temple
on the Sanctum level, so the Wizard would sometimes knock Moloch's
high priest right out of his temple. And since that priest doesn't
turn hostile until you enter the temple, you might have needed to
kill a peaceful human in order to get the Amulet.
Now when there's no elbow room in the temple, the Wizard will
stay outside instead of bumping the high priest out.
Alter the starting position of the monk and priest quest
nemeses to neutralize the possibility of attacking them by
zapping directly to the left as soon as you arrive on the final
level. And give the samurai a little variety too by varying
the arrival location, although that is just cosmetic.

This is a compromise. This doesn't allow vengeance when you were
told "you gladly hand over ...", but does for most other cases, and for
leprechauns.
Can't push boulders through iron bars; traps can't roll such through either;
likewise for objects thrown by monsters.
Thrown objects susceptible to breaking might do so when they hit iron bars.
Assorted monsters can pass through iron bars; ditto for polymorphed character.
Attempting to dig iron bars will wake nearby monsters instead of yielding
"you swing your pick-axe through thin air".
Autodig won't accept iron bars as candidate location.

R759 - delayed were change could cause crash
moveloop() sets a flag when a were/poly change should occur, but it
delays this change if the hero is Unchanging or cannot be interrupted (e.g.
praying). However, by the time the change can be applied, the reason
may no longer be valid. Reset the change indicator when this is the case.
Avoids possible strange polymorphs and were crashes.
mouse fix for nt tty
No wonder we've had complaints about the mouse lately.
The port was responding to mouse movements that didn't
even involve a button click.
Implement a fix for the problem From a bug report:
if the destination position on the Plane of Fire has a randomly
placed trap on it, you'd get an impossibility warning of "couldn't
place lregion type 5" (and then arrive successfully at the target
spot anyway). As his investigation indicated, the code to remove
such traps wasn't being reached because the `bad_location' check
yields true for trapped spots.
monster spells (insects, nasties)
This throttles insect creation through monster spell casting. Especially
insects. It was creating m_lev worth of insects--for a 25th level priest,
that means every batch of insects was size 25!
I also lowered the range for nasties creation for similar reasons.
Two new options
Add "travel" boolean option to enable/disable travel command.
Add "mouse_support" wincap option to enable/disable mouse.

another pass at preserving the Burdened message
- this is brute force, always update the status line each time you
insert something into a container. If you look closely, you may still
see the Burdened message disappears momentarily doe to the many possible
messages between the freeinv() call and the point where the object is
actually put into the container.

disappearing burdened message
- the "Burdened" message could disappear from the status line if it was
updated partway thru in_container, clearing the bot flags. Re-order
message so it comes after add_to_container, as in 3.3.1.
R739 - dead migrating monster
- It was possible for hmon_hitmon to call mhurtle to move a monster into a
hole or other trap, causing it to migrate. Then, hmon_hitmon would
subtract hp, and could mark the monster as dead. Later, dmonsfree would
notice the monster wasn't on the level anymore, causing the impossible.
Avoid the problem by just not hurtling the monster if it's going to die.
It's possible it will get lifesaved after not hurtling. Technically, if it
does die, the corpse should be hurtled, but won't be.
- treat jousting similarly
R363 - can't drown breathless monsters
- if you're polymorphed into an eel, you were able to drown things like xorns

iron balls/teleds
Fixing some iron ball/teleds stuff:
-- If the player can pass through walls, ignore all checks for walls, or else
things will behave weirdly.
-- Instead of using the kludge "if the distance is >2 it must be a teleport",
pass a parameter indicating whether they crawled or teleported onto the new
space. This fixes a special case, where the player moved one space and the
ball didn't move, but the chain moved through solid rock. This is acceptable
if teleporting and unacceptable if dragging.
This also required some rearrangement of teleds() so that u.ux,u.uy
are set after placing the ball, not before. I'm still not sure the pit
filling line is in the right place; anyone know?
-- add some comments so I can look at the code in a month and still know what
I did.
Most of this patch is just adding the new parameter.
