Dunno if that's even part of the problem. * Another attempt to fix the "missing item in tiles inventory" bug. git-svn-id: https://crawl-ref.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crawl-ref/branches/stone_soup-0.5@9979 c06c8d41-db1a-0410-9941-cceddc491573

| | | | | | | | | | | * Make "&)shop" call debug_make_shop() -> this used to crash the game. * Actually save spells when polymorphing a named monster. This will override spells they might get from their new base form. Note that the current solution will cause polymorphed named orc wizards to retain their spells, might not be what we want. git-svn-id: https://crawl-ref.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crawl-ref/branches/stone_soup-0.5@9973 c06c8d41-db1a-0410-9941-cceddc491573

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Fix Xom piety 100 (initial state) favouring bad effects. * Limit tension bonus for good effects to 199. * Add penalty for tension 0, so bad effects become more likely without tension. * Revert order of Xom's amusement to actually match the amusement gain. (Was getting "roars with laughter" for gain of 2, etc.) * Add damage shaving to Deep Dwarf ghosts. * Add 'o' to pickup list commands -> stop prompting, start autoexplore. * Default menu_colour_item_class to true in initfile.cc. * Allow autopickup of chunks in Lich form. git-svn-id: https://crawl-ref.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crawl-ref/trunk@9634 c06c8d41-db1a-0410-9941-cceddc491573

* Implement a very basic attempt at message condensation: Store the most j-p-e-g2009-02-271-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | recent message in prev_message and only output it when another non-matching message rolls in or the player gets a turn. Matching messages (must be identical and issued in direct succession, like is the case with the message history condensation) increase the counter, so you end up with messages like: You feel sick. The killer bee misses you. (x3) The killer bee stings you. The killer bee stings you but doesn't do any damage. The killer bee misses you. (x5) ...instead of the 11 lines it would have been in total. This behaviour is controlled by the same option as the condensation in the message history, msg_condense_repeats. There's definitely room for improvement. At the moment the bracketed information is written into the message itself, which will prevent further merging in the message history, or, probably worse, cause ugly double-merging like "The killer bee misses you. (x3) (x2)". git-svn-id: https://crawl-ref.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crawl-ref/trunk@9262 c06c8d41-db1a-0410-9941-cceddc491573

* Greatly improve eating interface, as suggested in FRs 1923273 and 2018733.j-p-e-g2009-01-061-2/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When you now press 'e' the following takes place: 1) If you can eat chunks, the game builds a list out of all chunks on the floor and in your inventory, sorted by age [1], and prompts you to eat them [2]. 2) If none are found, or you decline all of them you get prompted for non-chunk food items on the floor. 3) Prompt for non-chunk food in your inventory. 4) Open up the food menu of your inventory. Because of the way lua works, there's currently a problem that in the early stages (1-3) "q" (now also accepts Escape) will cause to skip ahead to the next stage rather than leaving the process entirely, which is of course less than optimal. I also added two new options [1] prefer_safe_chunks (defaults to true) which will offer clean chunks before contaminated ones, even if the latter happens to be older [2] easy_eat_chunks (defaults to false) which causes the prompting to be skipped for safe (i.e. clean) chunks, so you will automatically eat the oldest chunk that applies. This is ignored for undead characters. I also got rid of the outdated safechnk.lua and chnkdata.lua seeing how chunk effects are no longer spoily information. Added a new wizmode command: Ctrl-H, which allows you to set your character's hunger state. (Hopefully this will make Vampire testing easier.) Also fix 2488374: "Controlled Flight being named upon levitation even if its type is already known. git-svn-id: https://crawl-ref.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crawl-ref/trunk@8282 c06c8d41-db1a-0410-9941-cceddc491573

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix 2426301: melding not working properly for Merfolk transformation. Colour melded equipment darkgrey on the % screen. Disallow Merfolk slipping out of their boots if doing so would kill the player due to stat loss. (Falling into water when flying will still kill them.) When this is the case, deep water is regarded as unsafe for travel. TODO: Ending a transformation should likewise be impossible if doing so would cause stat loss due to unmelding of items. Add a stat_colour option to highlight the stats when they're below a given threshold. By default, lightred at 1, red at 2-3. You could argue for setting the default to 7 but that would mean colouring almost all stats for each beginning character.

(Players who insist on exploring manually will have to simply leave this option empty.)
