From 133566ff1b99e30678c98c2e577e6e1f661dde63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "nethack.rankin" Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2002 04:31:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] new data.base entries Add the caveman, healer, and monk data.base entries supplied by , plus the healer one from 's list of outstanding bugs and requests. Every role now has its own entry. I left "dwarven caveman" and "gnomish caveman" pointing at the generic dwarf and gnome entries respectively, because the caveman quote feels to me to be more human- specific than the earlier role ones have been. I added blank lines to the monk quote to break it into paragraphs, and made two minor tweaks to the text. I hope we can find or invent a separate entry for Master Kaen though. Getting a quote that refers to Buddhism for him seems wrong to me, but leaving the generic human one now that there's a monk-specific one didn't feel right either. I've moved a few quest guardians around this time. Deciding which of them should yield the corresponding role entries and which shouldn't involves judgement calls and I don't claim that the current situation is now perfect. --- dat/data.base | 106 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- doc/fixes34.1 | 1 + 2 files changed, 89 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/dat/data.base b/dat/data.base index 62dc37d8c..77e0597a7 100644 --- a/dat/data.base +++ b/dat/data.base @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -# SCCS Id: @(#)data.base 3.4 2002/12/17 +# SCCS Id: @(#)data.base 3.4 2002/12/28 # Copyright (c) 1994, 1995, 1996 by the NetHack Development Team # Copyright (c) 1994 by Boudewijn Wayers # NetHack may be freely redistributed.
