Patch:20060105224515-a54d2-ef8895a95ab34e22c42b0f823577c363fd6156ce.gz 
this prevents it from being drawn on top of small creatures
and makes no differrence for large ones.

Added in 30 megs of graphics originals. Compare, for example, the original high priest to how it ended up. Sigh.

Added files:

Added in nurse and all trolls. Nurse could use a little touchup, plus I need to generate a new page of statues (jtp_mon10). Also, I am wondering: should I be committing originals to somewhere in the cases that the originals are of high enough quality over the final project that they're worth keeping?

fix display of "<object> embedded in stone" on the map

Patch:20060102230452-a54d2-fb999314b3eec570c2c1785addff0a4c8bc9840a.gz 
we were checking whether levl[j][i].typ != STONE, which
simply doesn't work in this case. Removing the check does
not appear to have adverse effects.

Fix giant ant statue/figurine morphing

Author:thalerd@in.tum.de
Date:Sun Jan 1 16:59:12 SAST 2006
Patch:20060101145912-a54d2-c6e3a7ebf5bcb8a89773192d63c6ede7062ec1ab.gz 
ginat ants are monster number 0,
therefore a check (obj->corpsenm != 0) is wrong
because corpsenm == 0 is a giant ant.

vulture's can now run without a sound card, and also runs fine compiled as a 64bit binary on a pure 64bit OS

Author:Clive Crous <clive@darkarts.co.za>
Date:Fri Dec 30 23:06:02 SAST 2005
Patch:20051230210602-eb905-a46376e9c421b6e014ba1a5d33a1d8179fa25685.gz 
I was busy installing dual boot 64bit OS on
my amd64 and during that process I tried to
play Vulture's before I had my sound drivers
setup.  To my horror, Vulture's simply aborted
instead of just continuing without any sound.

This patch fixes that.

Vulture's Eye and Vulture's Claw both play fine
compiled as 64bit binaries in a pure 64bit(only)
OS.

NetHack (and Slash'EM) itself suffers from a few
warnings, but I'm loath to 'fix' those unless
they actually cause problems.

Add a few object mappings for slashem

Author:thalerd@in.tum.de
Date:Fri Dec 30 16:38:24 SAST 2005
Patch:20051230143824-a54d2-7f46dcb775b52786d320f1f26c50dc0d79309dc3.gz 
This fixes the symptom seen by drfishopoulis on the forums, where in
slashem the monk robe could get a helmet tile.

The problem was that the robe got shuffled with other robes to prevent
identification via tile or description, but some of those others had no
mapping or tile and defaulted to the helmet which is the fallback tile
for all armor.

replace SDL_RWFromConstMem with SDL_RWFromMem

Author:thalerd@in.tum.de
Date:Fri Dec 30 03:53:58 SAST 2005
Patch:20051230015358-a54d2-d7b184e5816b2b2518bf203aa5cfcfbe2de45aa9.gz 
As we don't try to write to the RWOp they behave the same for us, but
SDL_RWFromConstMem was "only" introduced in SDL-1.2.7 (2 years ago :-)
while SDL_RWFromMem has been around much longer.

With this patch vultures !_should_ compile on RH9, which is >3 years old.

Basically I feel we should only increase our minimum version requrements intentionally
and ideally we'd also document them somewhere...

enforce default priest tile in cases where m_at fails

Patch:20051223224714-eb905-314a09da8ef0bcec22b00fa5bcf9f93634ddd195.gz 
I'm a bit concerned that this is possible.  If a monster
glyph is sent to the interface at this possition, and the
interface then requests "which monster" and gets back a
NULL ... This smells like a possible Slash'EM bug (?)

Patch:20051221073951-eb905-8576681996a8ace6eafa07275f02a78efcc1a08e.gz 
vultures-1.11.1 for win32 needs this in order to build!
I had already released 1.11.1 by the time I created this patch
which was only found once I started creating the win32 installers.

If any windows users complain about not being able to compile
Vulture's Claw 1.11.1 then direct them to this patch!

When I have the time, or if one day i feel inspired
to care, I really aught to use include files for these
three win32 installer creators.  There's far too much
repitition happening here for my taste.

this fixes an obscure problem where you get an unusable binary if you compile
vultureseye -> vulturesclaw -> vultureseye
in that order.
The final build of vultureseye would still be using tileoffsets from vultresclaw
which crashes it on startup.

reason: there is NO WAY nethack will ever allow us to create a shopkeeper without a shop. It would probably crash the game.

gone: lawful/neutral/chaotic/unaligned priest

be made of wood (and therefore be brown) or something?

Note that ordering in the tile array now matters: statues must be in the same order as monsters.
This seems to be the case already.
It is somewhat inelegant though; a better solution would have been to have an array
similar to jtp_montiles for the statues, but I don't feel like doing that right now...

((cmd > '0') && (cmd < '9') doesn't catch 0 and 9 themselves...)

Well, here's my new mapglyph graphic. It's sort of in between what we had before
and a real tileset. In particular there are the old colored dots, overlayed with
the monster or object's tty letter.

The symbols for traps, altars, sinks, etc were completely designed by me :)

In theory it should be possible to glance at the map and see oh, there's a "D" that
way, better not go there now...

This does nothing for slashem though, it needs the same treatment...

Perhaps Karen can be convinced to touch-up/make better images,
I am, quite obviously, no graphician, but those 'will do' for
now.
nh_tiles.pcx and se_tiles.pcx can be any tileset at all, as long
as they use 40*tiles for each row and the individual tiles are of
size 7x14 (as per the symbols).

I've extracted the 7 and 14 into constants so the map size should be
simple to increase should we feel the need, but that would require a
new 'framing' graphic.

Dark tiles no longer get a question mark; only sensed monsters/objects on unseen locations get that now.
Instead the tile is drawn at one third of what is otherwise the minimum light level.

This also includes a correctness fix: wether a til is drawn as dark no longer depends on
level.locations[x][y].lit, which is the actual lit status of the tile,
but on level.locations[x][y].waslit, which is the hero's memory of the litness of the tile.
This means that the lit/unlit status of magically mapped rooms can no longer be determined by
looking at the background tiles of furniture in the room.

Zap beams and kicked and thrown objects now visibly move from one place to the other, rather

mostly rewrite map drawing

Author:thalerd@in.tum.de
Date:Tue Nov 1 02:56:32 SAST 2005
Patch:20051101005632-a54d2-7c4e441941c1ddd3d4c663dc9f4dc8c92893a63b.gz 
This is a rewrite of a lot of the map drawing code.

Highlevel description of what the patch does:

1)
Previously: a map square contained either background OR a trap OR an object.
Now a map square may contain all of:
 - a possibly decorated background tile
 - furniture (ie altars, stairs, fountains, ...)
 - a trap
 - an object
 - a spell effect
at the same time.

This will allow traps, spell effects and furniture without their own background,
so that they blend in with the level's tiles better.

2)
A huge amount of #ifdef VULTURES_GRAPHICS code in nethack's display.c was removed.

Slashem code remains unchanged, because it is noticeably different from nethack's
at this point. However, since Vultures now expects glyphs to be drawn in a far more
standard way than before, slashem might Just Work.
If not, patches will follow.

3)
Large monsters (titanotheres in particular) got truncated at the bottom, because the
east and south floor tiles were drawn after the monster, covering it's lower parts.
Now titanotheres are displayed correctly.

4)
Floor decorations were only positioned along the north edge of the map.
Now they are distributed evenly across the rooms on the map.

5)
Previously the edge between water and ice was the same as the edge between land and water.
Lacking a proper graphic for that case it seemed better to simply draw no edge between
water and ice

6)
Explosions work now. We need more graohics here too, though: Our single explosion is fiery
which looks VERY silly on cone of cold :P


How the patch does it:

The array jtp_map{tile,glyph}_cmap has been split into jtp_map_back, jtp_map_back,
jtp_map_furniture, jtp_map_trap and jtp_map_specialeff. This alone necessitated a HUGE
number of changes all over the place

jtp_draw_map now draws in two passes. In the first pass it draws floors, as they are
always under everything else; in the second pass it draws North & west walls, furniture,
traps, objects, monsters, effects, south & east walls in that order.

This prevents titanotheres from being partially covered. However, monsters should still
not extend very far down, as they may still be covered by objects. A pancake one square
south has some humouros potential here... :D

For vultures we must add any glyph that is passed to show_glyph to the glyph buffer
otherwise jtp_print_glyph does not "see" that location.

For example when a monster picks up an item the topmost glyph will be the monster,
which does not change. However we need to see that the item is no longer there.*/

Therefore we must not check wether the topmost glyphs match.

Patch:20051023125454-a54d2-dd74da35309c17a8ba13ccbe35425be278e9ab81.gz 
jtp_query was called to display all dialog boxes to the user.
There are three types of dialog boxes:
 - direction queries: "In what direction" (zap, dig, throw, ...)
 - choice queries, where the user is given a limited number of choices (such as yes/no/quit)
 - anykey queries, where any key is a vlid respons ("what do you want to drop/eat/...")

The direction queries had *no* code in common with the other two, which in turn only shared the
window drawing code. That resulted in a huge *mess* of if/else if/else blocks.

This patch splits jtp_query into 4 functions:
 - jtp_query_direction for direction queries
 - jtp_draw_query_window for shared window drawing code
 - jtp_query_choices
 - jtp_query_anykey

The patch also modifies all callers of jtp_query to call one of the new funtions.

This patch doesn't have too many new graphics (compared to the last), but it has a number of bugfixes as well.

New Graphics:
- Orc
- Hill Orc
- Mordor Orc
- Uruk Hai
- Hobgoblin
- Bugbear

Fixes:
- Small cat and housecat were reversed; your cat got *smaller* when it advanced. Wink
- So giant and soldier ants were reversed; soldier is stronger, but giant appeared bigger.
- Box and ice box perspectives were wrong with respect to the floor (they're at least closer now)
- The bags' graphics weren't being used, and are now. ***
- The default quadraped graphic was changed to Rothe from Centaur
- The default snake graphic was changed to Water Moccasin from Lizard
- Gnome Lord's weapon looked more dangerous than Gnome King; swapped
- Revised Gnome Lord's hat slightly, and enlarged Gnome King's crown
- Made Fire Elemental larger and more imposing (it was human-sized before)
- Did a little work on Dwarf Lord's face.
- Softened the curves of the regular goblin; it's not a very good graphic, and I may end up having to replace it outright. Later, though.

*** - They're still subject to the "Identify by looking at the graphic" bug, which still needs to be fixed.

Although this fixes the issue as described, it introduces another problem.
The 'new' issue is more of a vulture feature removal, when your character picks up an item, that position is no longer instantly redrawn, (not)showing the picked up item.
To be fixed in a patch post application of this one.

another nethack graphics patch

Patch:20050523080412-92ff0-27e34dff47f8199b9e0a4c6e1cd25b29167de89a.gz 
Time for patch v0.2   :)   

1) Unidentified stones show up as IDed.  You were right, there was a bug.  I 
think I got this one fixed, but you'll want to verify.

2) Same, for gems.  I've verified that this is fixed.

3) Foxes and coyotes were reversed.  Fixed.

4) Off-center graphics: I dealt with this before, but apparently I missed a 
couple.  Basically, when you're working with the jtp_*.pcx files, the 
guidelines on the sides of the graphic have to be in precise positions.  On 
two of the three monster pages, the top border was overwritten, and so the 
top line of critters ended up offcenter.  Fixed.

5) Coyote "too big".  Actually, it wasn't too big, it was just so far 
offcenter that it got cutoff.  Fixing the centering bug fixed it.

6) Magic traps, in the old Falcon's Eye, didn't show up once found.  I found 
the bug in the code and fixed it.   :)   They accidentally assigned the magic 
trap graphic to a null tile, and nulled the assignment for the magic trap 
graphic, due to an off-by-one error.
 
7) There were two "teleporter" traps, one of which was somewhat funky looking 
and would have made a great polymorph trap.  At the same time, the teleport 
trap was being assigned to *both* of them (only the latter assignment 
counted).  I fixed the double assignment, made a new polymorph trap type, and 
assigned it to the funky teleporter graphic.   :) 

8) I added a touch more translucency to the fountain's water spray - it seemed 
to cut off too sharply before.

9) Rock piercers weren't showing up due to an oversight on my part.  Fixed.

10) Same for tinning kits.  Fixed.
