knights and covetous monsters
Implement Pat's suggestion of setting the mavenge flag when a covetous
monster flees, since they may subsequently teleport back and attack even
if mflee is set.
B03002 - missing fountain messages
<Someone> reported that dowaternymph and dowaterdemon did not print a message
when their G_GONE checks failed. Now they do. I wasn't feeling
imaginative, so the the dowaterdemon message is the same as for no snakes.
R972 - rust monster eating gold
When !GOLDOBJ, player polymorphed to a rust monster that attempted to eat
gold in the inventory would fail to eat it, but the gold would be consumed
anyway. Under GOLDOBJ, a later check would work around the invalid prompt.
B03001 - trapdoors while blind and levitating
The seetrap() was done for trapdoors & holes independent of whether a
message was printed. Move the seetrap call into fall_through where
the message logic lives (Sokoban holes always activate).
R926 - polymorphed player does not explode at thin air
Reported that player polymorphed into an exploding monster does not explode
when attacking thin air. Also noticed that if player is Unchanging, they
wouldn't die after exploding in the existing code. Set u.mh = -1 to ensure
they won't still be around after exploding.
cursed daggers thrown by monsters can go thru closed doors
based on a bugfix forwarded by <Someone>, check for closed doors and drop
the missle before it. I re-arranged the pre checks a bit so m_throw no
longer needs to trust the caller to ensure everything is OK beforehand.
Nethack crashes when you are riding a flying monster over a
pool/moat and some engulfing monster plucks you off your saddle.
After falling into the water you'll get the normal message
sequence (sink like rock ... phew, that was close; you also get
chance to teleport if you can). After the last message the game
will crash with a segmentation fault.
- reproducible; null pointer dereference in swallowed()
The crash results because dismount_steed() calls float_down(), which
calls drown(), which calls teleds(), which clears u.ustuck. So when
gulpmu calls swallowed after dismount_steed(), this line attempts to
derefernce a null pointer:
swallower = monsndx(u.ustuck->data);
This patch bypasses the float_down() in dismount steed() altogether.
That routine is meant to return the hero to the floor, and that
isn't appropriate if a purple worm just plucked you off the steed
anyway.
While this fixes the crash, a problem still exists. The
way swallowing works, the swallowing monster's location
switches to that of the hero. Since that location is
over water, the purple worm ends up drowning almost
immediately after you are swallowed, while you are
swallowed. The purple worm's death is not revealed
to you since the "The purple worm drowns." message is
conditional. This patch also adds a message when
the purple worm dies, but should this guaranteed
drowing take place?
dropping gold on an altar
<Someone> reported that dropping gold on an altar prints no message.
As a side effect, gnostic conduct was never affected, which seemed odd;
dropping other known objects would still affect your gnostic conduct.
While fixing this, I noticed a GOLDOBJ-related bug when dropping gold while
levitating.
R975 - message for charging for items lost in a cursed magic bag
The loss message was not always printed due to testing the wrong variable
before printing the message.
Change "The corpses smell like it could be tainted! Eat it anyway?"
to be "The corpses smell like they could be tainted! Eat one anyway?"
when eating one of multiple stacked food objects.
early directory validation
Allow early prefix directory validation to help prevent
failed games and lost save files due to incorrect config
file settings.
It was possible to terminate the win32 ports late in the user
save process, after the save file had already been written by
forcing execution of an interrupt handler at one of the
termination prompts. This resulted in "You were not healthy
enough to survive restoration" and worse.
This clears program_state.something_worth_saving immediately
after the save has been completed.

I checked into fixing this properly (you mount the steed and

u.umonnum was used to create the corpse in a bones file. However, unless

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.
