Fix invisible monsters counterintuitively interrupting stampede
If the player expected to be making a rampage move (ie: that there wasn't a monster adjacent to them), moving into an invisible monster would stop their rampage dead in its tracks. Which honestly doesn't make very much sense given that the entire idea is that you're bowling over everything in your way, anyway. So now - unseen monster or no - you can keep on charging forward.

Fix getting rampage attack stagger against adjacent targets
This was possible if the player *thought* they could rampage towards some distant monster, but an adjacent invisible monster was actually in their way. Thus you would try to rampage and hit the first monster encountered with a rampage attack (and its stagger).
However, this used attack delay instead of movement delay, and could be repeated. Meaning that in theory one could permanently stunlock an adjacent invisible monster with a 5 aut weapon, so long as there was something behind it to rampage towards. This might not have even been very hard to set up in a corridor if one knew about it!
Now the stagger should only be applied if the player has *actually* moved at least one step before attacking.

Don't have marionette continue to treat charmed monsters as hostile
If a Aphotic Marionette changed some monster's loyalty (eg: by charming it), the marionetted monster would happily keep blasting away at it with subsequent spells anyway. Now they should treat it as friendly as soon as it becomes so.

Fix Dominate Undead not working properly for friendly casters
For instance, charmed bloodprinces (or more plausibly Marionetted ones).
It was applying ENCH_HEXED even to naturally hostile monsters, which didn't actually do anything helpful (and also resulted in the odd situation where the game would claim when you examined it that control over it had been wrested from you, even though you never controlled it at any point).
Now it should properly charm undead to your side if the caster is friendly.

Small batch of (mostly Slime) vaults (#5010)
Adds a collection of Slime stairvaults, some themed and some generic, all of which place monsters near the downstairs (or upstairs). With the changes to slimy walls and Slime level connectivity, vaults can now force players to go through nasty corridors without being seen as too harsh. I don't think any of these are too mean, though.
Also includes one star-themed abyss monster vault, one abyss exit vault based on a funny bug, and one ziggurat entrance with hostile statues.
Thanks to regret-index and gammafunk for layout advice.
[Committer's notes: alongside a few shifts of syntax and line length, proper full randomization of stair uses, and a few tweaks of tags and vault rewards, the notable changes were:
* The Abyss exit vault riffing off of 830d415 was significantly revised, due to the bug existing not for very long in trunk as well as being far too opaque to actually parse out of context compared to e.g. `hangedman_abyss_monster_moat` still functioning as an abyssal blob of unexpected guest monsters.
* Slime stair vaults containing monsters have gotten luniq tags with this impending batch, to mildly reduce the presence of multiple on a floor when there's still not a lot of Slime vault variation to work with.
* The Ziggurat vault entry has a far lower weight than default, due to the statues used being mildly annoying and conspicuously more harmless and generic while being less representational than most other Ziggurat entry guard monsters, as well as the vault being a bit larger than the other Ziggurat entry vaults.
Closes #5010.]

Force Elf:2 to veto disconnected floors (various)
As has been reported as an Github issue many times, Elf:2's guaranteed Hall of Blades can sometimes be disconnected from the rest of the level and require digging or teleport to actually access. As it is a guaranteed strategically-relevant (if still random) reward source, it's extra awkward for the floor to be disconnected in any fashion. As 79647d7 reused _add_connecting_escape_hatches to connect floors in Pan, this too reuses the same to ensure Elf:2 will always be a fully connected floor, which shouldn't add too much server loading burden with the individual case but will address the problem otherwise quite directly.
This closes #3592, #4056, and #4720.

Invert default of autofight_no_stampede option and rename
While losing the stampede status when you need to keep it and stampeding when you'd rather stay in place are perhaps similarly bad for the player, using ctrl+dir to stop stampeding is more buttons than using tab (for a very common situation) and it may not be immediately obvious to new players that it even works. (Also, since for other species, tab only moves if you *don't* attack, this is probably more consistent with core behavior anyway.)
While this schema runs some risk of players instead not realizing they can push monsters at all (which would be even worse), I am keeping my fingers crosssed this isn't the case.

Rename Anemocentaur to Gale Centaur
While the mythological referent for anemocentaur were the Greek anemoi, I'd opted to encorporate -centaur into the name (rather than simply call them Anemoi) to try and ensure it was clear to players that they were basically wind-themed centaurs and not anything more deliberately 'weird'; specifically harkening back to the familiar and oft-misssed species rather than its multiple unconventional replacements.
This seems to have failed utterly, with many players from all corners arriving at different conclusions about exactly what sort of weirdness the name was intending. (The most common misunderstanding is that they are part sea anemone, though I've seen a variety of distinct misreadings).
Since the entire *point* of calling them anemocentaurs in the first place was to emphasise that they are, in fact, just centaurs (while being just distinct enough to justify not being fast-moving like the common monster is, on mechanical grounds), I am opting to rename them entirely. Hopefully this will be less open to misunderstanding.

The player could dodge negative unequip effects on a ^Fragile item. This means Amulets of Faith wouldn't have a piety penalty for removal and weapons of Distortion wouldn't do their distortion unwield effects. This is apparently unintended and it turns a negative property into a positive one which will surprise players and vault makers.
This commit breaks ^Fragile gear only after other unequip effects have happened.

Give Josephina (the late one) Dominate Undead
Despite the omnipresence of bolts and fireballs in lategame, a lot of ally builds in lategame can build up so many bodies that few monsters can really meaningfully threaten the top of each ally spell school. Meanwhile, Josephina the ice lich (618b504) i also notably underperforming in killratio versus most other endgame uniques, with little changed for her recently besides repeated Flash Freeze adjustments over the years.
I am thus repurposing a bit of the unique always leading around a bunch of undead to further menace other necromancers and undead alike, by giving her the undead-ally-stealing, player-undead-vexing Dominate Undead made for vampire bloodprinces in 4c592b3. This should help her stand out significantly to those who care about either of these effects, without being too overwhelming (since it's late enough players can ready some strategy beyond spamming spectres and scarabs / can expect to risk Paralysis against many endgame monsters anyway), still keeps her somewhat mechanically straightforward in borrowing spells since many characters don't care about the spell, and should feel reasonably distinct from bloodprinces + distant from future Tomb that it should all reasonably work out for an experiment.

Fix a few recent interface tiles
The Mass Regeneration icon added in a0e6fa1 was accidentally putting the generic spell icon background behind the invocations background it was already using, and the South Wind mutation icon I provided for e12fab6 has part of it oriented in the wrong direction due to various wind mechanics versus direction reconfigurations during development.

Give Josephina (the late one) Dominate Undead
Despite the omnipresence of bolts and fireballs in lategame, a lot of ally builds in lategame can build up so many bodies that few monsters can really meaningfully threaten the top of each ally spell school. Meanwhile, Josephina the ice lich (618b504) i also notably underperforming in killratio versus most other endgame uniques, with little changed for her recently besides repeated Flash Freeze adjustments over the years.
I am thus repurposing a bit of the unique always leading around a bunch of undead to further menace other necromancers and undead alike, by giving her the undead-ally-stealing, player-undead-vexing Dominate Undead made for vampire bloodprinces in 4c592b3. This should help her stand out significantly to those who care about either of these effects, without being too overwhelming (since it's late enough players can ready some strategy beyond spamming spectres and scarabs / can expect to risk Paralysis against many endgame monsters anyway), still keeps her somewhat mechanically straightforward in borrowing spells since many characters don't care about the spell, and should feel reasonably distinct from bloodprinces + distant from future Tomb that it should all reasonably work out for an experiment.

Fix troves weapons accidentally trying for ranged distortion (rypofalem)
The rework of trove_weap_brand in 2489330 to make non-acquirement Trove weapons use generic top-tier weapons even passes a ranged_valid parameter but forgot to accidentally use it. Fortunately, this only comes up as an error message in Eringya's Secret Bog and the Devouring Rift, and is also very easy to fix here by checking it.

Fix an overflow altar using a second Trog altar (#5103)
In the big refactoring of overflow.des in bcc4609, a stone arch in nzn_overflow_gifts_of_might_and_magic accidentally got replaced with a second Trog altar, which is thus fixed here.

Change the outside border of V:5 from rock to metal (#5901)
While previously this felt fine when there wasn't any metallic flooring across the level, 011df5c adding such makes digging / shattering the outside floor's brick to reveal the default metal floor look a bit ugly. It's also not really what the appearance of the floor would suggest. The potential strategy of breaking the metal walls to dig around the outside of the floor in order to safely approach each corner is both somewhat silly and very niche, with how many digging charges this would need anyway, so it shouldn't really hurt to lose it; there's already some mild benefit from being able to break those walls to produce more free sight-controlling corners, anyway.
(In the 10% chance the floor is made of green crystal wall instead, the outside border will be crystal walls too.)
This fixes #5901.

New short blade base type: Athame
Short blades are in a curious conceptual superposition. Their low base damage, fast mindelay, and stab mechanics all alike are meant to support two different strategies: the many build decisions and spell / god integration and occasional Stealth luck to support stabbing, or just tossing on enough Slaying and auxes and the right brands to provide consistent decent melee throughput. The former has a lot of complexity and resists across the game trying to cover up the pay-off always being a nearly / dead monster, and is regularly balanced out by the fallback of the latter, which has slowly gotten stronger over time between aux attack forms and Slaying-providing effects and mildly more randarts in midgame-onwards. There's not a lot of an actual bridge between the two beyond using the same weapons, and the latter lacks for a large degree of the former's complexity- not unusual for the simplicity of most other weapons in Crawl, but still a conspicuous gap in Short Blades itself, especially while Hexes has its own notable gap in stabbing spells between levels 4 to 6.
(Simultaneously, there's also a large skill investment gap for mindelay between the rather common rapier and the fairly rare quick blade as of e9d7159. While this provides a certain unique characterization to the weapon type and rapiers or pivoting into Long Blades can still win the game with enough effort, it's a fairly dissatisfying end result, which can be filled with something hopefully reasonably unique. The Blade Form rework of a11072b also is already strong enough to win short blades 3-rune games with, but there's not a lot of stabbing or short-blades oriented weapon permitting forms before it on the curve after the Maw Form reworks of 62f4531 besides the singular Werewolf Form.)
As such, this new weapon may be somewhat more complicated than default, but directly serves as a bridge between Crawl's many complex stabbing circumstances and "just hitting monsters many times really fast", as well as a bridge in skill investment between rapier's 14 skill and quick blade's 20 skill for minimum attack delay. (The last of these is particularly of interest with future systems incentivizing heavy weapon skill investment.)
These ceremonial daggers, attested to the Renaissance era Key of Solomon, have base damage 6, base accuracy +5, and a base attack delay of 1.3 that reaches a mindelay of 0.5 at skill level 16. While this is worse than a rapier by default, they have a unique built-in behaviour meant to somewhat broaden the Short Blades identity beyond stabbing or quick swings: they get +2 base damage for striking targets with one debuff, and +4 base damage (+66% of base 6 damage!) for those with two or more debuffs. (This debuff list reuses the poltergeist Trickster list, which noticeably just misses out on poison.) As base damage is the most important stat to scale on a weapon, this moves athame from being ~15% worse than rapiers in average effective damage to ~18% better with one debuff and ~38% with two (give or take all the stat, slaying, and fighting skill possibilities). They are, however, still worse than quick blades at 20 skill, which can mildly outpace them with more slaying and far more consistently without chasing down debuffs.
(This reuse of debuff-checking can provide a large number of other synergy pieces beyond just stabbing Hexes. Hard-to-resist effects liky Sticky Flame, orbs of glass, Uskayaw's Solo Time and Pain Bond, Kiku's Sign of Ruin, and various other Hexes like Metabolic Englaciation or Yara's Violent Unravelling should all combo well with the weapon. It also makes Spore Form's weakness-infliction a bit more attractive, which should help encourage a little more Shapeshifting investment for Short Blades characters.)
To discourage constant quick swaps, and to emphasize their ritual dagger nature, wielding an athame automatically magically costs 10% of your current health (unless it'd kill you). This shouldn't really have any particular synergies beyond using potions of curing with amulets of chemistry, which Sublimation of Blood already covered, but it _is_ helpfully extremely flavourful for the innate magic the weapons have on top of their other potential brands.
Brand distribution wise, these cannot have venom as a default brand (since this would forefront how this doesn't count as a debuff to synergize with), nor draining (since this would make them overly self-sufficient), but they have natural chances for pain (as only daggers can get otherwise) and slightly better than usual chances for vampirism. (Nothing is stopping players from reading scrolls of brand weapon on these if they so desire, also, and chaos athame should be reasonably competitive rolls as well.) Drop-wise, these have slightly lowered the acquirement rate of daggers (which are unlikely to ever be chosen) and rapiers (which these can perform better than) to preserve the current quick blade acquirement rate. They're also occasionally equipped on a mixed variety of spellcasters- burial acolytes, occultists, salamander mystics, deep elf sorcerers / death mages / demonologists, demonspawn soul scholars / blood saints / corrupters, and Josephine. (This means an average of 0.25 athame in D:1-15, 0.2 in Snake, 3.86 in Elf, and 1.1 in Depths. Monsters don't have as much weapon scaling as the player does, so this is unlikely to increase their threat by very much at all, doing only up to 4 more damage per swing if you're debuffed.)
If these turn out to be a little too weak, they can have the two debuff steps reduced to one, though I'm doubtful this will be too necessary in making a mildly rare weapon that easily outcompetes the common option and is beaten in turn by the extra-rare option. Short blades in general are a little extreme with Blade Form these days, but player winrates can use a little nudge up, and there are other systems planned this version to make future weapons more attractive. The only UI concern I have at the moment is with damage rating display, but since we provide the entire formula to the player at all times, it shouldn't be any difficult to let players manually calculate it instead of displaying the rating twice or more for the differing states. (An rc option could maybe handle this in a few different ways, but I don't feel too obliged to do such right now.)
Their tiles heavily modify the old quick blade tiles by dd and the current paper doll quick blade tiles by roctavian.

Improve Salvo targeting logic
Adapting some tech from previous commits, salvo will now do a somewhat better job at finding unobstructed targets, rather than skipping targets that are only obstructed from direct fire, but can easily be hit by an indirect shot.
For instance: @O.. ...O
In this scenario, Salvo used to be unable to hit the far ogre (since the near one was in the way), but now should be able to hit both.
(At the same time, I've reduced Salvo from '5 additional targets beyond the first' to '5 targets in total')

Improve autofight ranged targeting (and manual aiming, too)
Aiming a ranged attack directly at some intended monster is frequently mildly sub-optimal; ensuring the attack's path also passes through some other monsters afterward (so that it might hit one of them instead if it misses its primary target) is almost strictly better, yet often a bit fiddly to bother with. This commit attempts to improve QoL by automating some of this:
Once autofight has determined a primary target (by its preexisting logic), it will attempt to choose the 'best' spot to aim at this target while including as many other valid targets in the beam path behind it. This means the player will take better shots in cases those were manually available (especially relevant with piercing weapons, where including extra monsters in the shot path can be very important, yet the player performs so many thousands of attacks each game that manually optimizing every one would be unthinkable).
In addition, this improves several common pain points regarding statues and plants (which could previously cause autofight to cease functioning entirely). If an alternate aim exists to the primary target which could avoid a plant or statue, it will be selected automatically. And in cases where no such path exists, but some other monster (usually further away) *does* have an open path, autofight will choose to target that one instead.
Since these improvements feel so friction-reducing, I have also tried to incorporate them into manual aiming. When firing with 'f'/'F' against a previously selected target, a similar automatic aim adjustment will be applied to the shot path. Since this can often result in the player's shot appearing to be aimed at a different monster than their 'primary' target (ie: it aims at something in the back so that both it *and* the original target can be hit), the interface will only switch its remembered target to a new monster if the player has moved the cursor in any way. Which is to say that if the player manually aims at a monster, each subsequent use of 'f'/'F' will focus on that monster, no matter what monster is actually under the cursor after each aim adjustment *unless* the player does any manual adjustment themselves).
-----
This commit is based on a PR by Odds, to which I added several optimisations and fixes and significantly expanded. This closes #4869.

Allow the 'F'ire menu to remember the last item the player fired
It's a common situation in combat that when you want to throw something at a monster, you may want to throw the same thing multiple times. While this can be accomplished by quivering the item first and then using 'f' repeatedly, the player may not want it to displace what they use with shift+tab and then have to set it back again afterward.
Instead, when pressing 'F', the cursor will default to whatever was fired last. So if you want to keep tossing poison darts or curare, F+enter will automatically reselect this item. This should hopefully be a moderate QoL improvement when juggling multiple throwables.

Fix Xom moving an altar braking travel to closest altar
Xom's "moving stairs" effect can move altars by calling `swap_features` with the position of the altar and a nearby position to swap with. `swap_features` moves the altar tracking for the first position to a temporary position and then moves the altar tracking for the second position to the first position overriding its altar tracking, it then moves the altar tracking from the temporary position to the second position. However, trying to move the altar tracking from the temporary position was failing because the feature type at the temporary position was not that of an altar so the function to move altar tracking (move_notable_thing) thought there couldn't be any altar tracking to move. This meant that when you traveled to the closest altar with G_ it would travel to the temporary position (usually the top left corner of the map) if that was closest.

Fix Abyssal rune detection nuking map knowledge
When trying to detect the Abyssal rune we would iterate over the whole level and clear the map knowledge from any square that didn't contain the rune until we found the Abyssal rune at which point we would stop iterating. So if the Abyssal rune wasn't on the level or it was late in iteration order we would clear the map knowledge for the whole level. This wasn't a problem for in view squares as the map knowledge would be recreated before the player's next turn. However, for out of view squares because we didn't redraw the tiles it would look as if the map knowledge hadn't been cleared until you reloaded the game (which redraws the tiles using the map knowledge) also you could still find items and altars etc in these squares when searching as the stash tracker hadn't been reset for these squares even when these squares appeared blank after reloading.
To fix this, don't clear map knowledge when trying to detect the Abyssal rune as the map kowledge for squares that used to contain the rune but no longer do should have been cleared when the rune was removed (along with clearing the rune from the stash tracker etc).

Further revamped-Trove updates
* Trove weapon drops, which were always split between using acquirement and otherwise random weapons, now have the latter always using each of the strongest weapons in each weapon skill. The non-acquirement weapons care about size, dual-wielding, and sacrificed hands, but are otherwise deliberately as blind to one's character as previously, so that it can still encourage cross-training pivots or demon weapon pick-ups or Paragon wielding without singularly just being one's own choices of weapons. (The acquirement weapons, of course, are still very tailored towards one's own skills.)
* Characters with more Unarmed Combat skill than any weapons skill who can still shapeshift are given more talismans than previously in the weapons / magic / talisman slots.
* Trove spellbooks have a 40% chance to have a second school focus of one's top magic school other than the trove's main magic skill.
* For variety, contrast, and ameloriations of a common bias against heavy weapons all alike, the four classical elements Troves all have additional low manual chances now: Conjurations for Fire, Dodging for Ice, Shields for Air, and Armour for Earth. (Earth's trove has ponderous heavy armour and AC jewellery, Air's trove is themed after the Storm Queen, Fire gets the only offense-forward skill since it has the least general utility in its spells, and Ice gets to round out the set as well as still emphasize defenses for the damage-over-time school.)
* Leda's Sunken Stockpile no longer places as much heavy armour unless one's Armour skill significantly outpaces their Dodging Skill, and now properly works for giving bardings to anemocentaurs and naga.
* Trove consumable drops now have a very small chance for scrolls of acquirement, matching the old chance to get such in old scroll troves.

More Elements card tweaks
I've never been happy with gargoyles being present in something thematically meant to be a collection of elemental beasts, and we've got enough options now I can reasonably replace both. The card's also always been one of the strongest Summoning deck rolls between catoblepae and getting multiple non-hostile summons, so it can take a little bit of a downturn in power anyway.
In the middle card power tier, fire gets lindwurms over molten gargoyles: still a little boring, but not currently being used up by any player-accessible Monstrous Menagerie). In the top card power tier, earth gets mountainshells over war gargoyles: a unique access to a warded summon, and a summon which can do wide AOE damage without hurting allies if one can sufficiently prevent enemies from getting close. This should still be reasonably strong, and unique enough to work with alongside plenty of other future slow Nemelex adjustments.

Give Mlioglotl less distracting animations (canine)
In my slow but continuous quest to remove the vast majority of screen flashes as recurring effects in the game, Mlioglotl's corruption is particularly conspicuous considering the obvious Abyssal terrain effects afterwards and as something particularly annoying when used by a bound soul. This new effect, made with some mild manipulation of ontoclasm's Abyss rock wall tiles, should both look uniquely dramatic, not be quite as glaring when cast, and should even be slightly faster to animate than previously since there's lots of individual effects happening to thus not miss.
(Hypothetically, it'd be nice to use this effects set for a Bend Space monster or something else eventually, but this should be fine for this purpose right now. I've got something of another upcoming idea for it, anyway....)

* As very earlygame-limited items, the lowest-tier talismans (quill and inkwell) are duds enough in most shops past earlygame that they can afford to cost even less than they currently do.

* Shadow dragon scales and steam dragon scales are also now cheaper. The former is a highly narrow build item that feels somewhat difficult to sell outside of randarts, and the latter has been somewhat taken over in functionality by acid dragon scales (between an occasionally relevant resist, an armour penalty too minimal to matter, and an equally very early starting appearance).

Further revamped-Trove updates
* Trove weapon drops, which were always split between using acquirement and otherwise random weapons, now have the latter always using each of the strongest weapons in each weapon skill. The non-acquirement weapons care about size, dual-wielding, and sacrificed hands, but are otherwise deliberately as blind to one's character as previously, so that it can still encourage cross-training pivots or demon weapon pick-ups or Paragon wielding without singularly just being one's own choices of weapons. (The acquirement weapons, of course, are still very tailored towards one's own skills.)
* Characters with more Unarmed Combat skill than any weapons skill who can still shapeshift are given more talismans than previously in the weapons / magic / talisman slots.
* Trove spellbooks have a 40% chance to have a second school focus of one's top magic school other than the trove's main magic skill.
* For variety, contrast, and ameloriations of a common bias against heavy weapons all alike, the four classical elements Troves all have additional low manual chances now: Conjurations for Fire, Dodging for Ice, Shields for Air, and Armour for Earth. (Earth's trove has ponderous heavy armour and AC jewellery, Air's trove is themed after the Storm Queen, Fire gets the only offense-forward skill since it has the least general utility in its spells, and Ice gets to round out the set as well as still emphasize defenses for the damage-over-time school.)
* Leda's Sunken Stockpile no longer places as much heavy armour unless one's Armour skill significantly outpaces their Dodging Skill, and now properly works for giving bardings to anemocentaurs and naga.
* Trove consumable drops now have a very small chance for scrolls of acquirement, matching the old chance to get such in old scroll troves.

More Elements card tweaks
I've never been happy with gargoyles being present in something thematically meant to be a collection of elemental beasts, and we've got enough options now I can reasonably replace both. The card's also always been one of the strongest Summoning deck rolls between catoblepae and getting multiple non-hostile summons, so it can take a little bit of a downturn in power anyway.
In the middle card power tier, fire gets lindwurms over molten gargoyles: still a little boring, but not currently being used up by any player-accessible Monstrous Menagerie). In the top card power tier, earth gets mountainshells over war gargoyles: a unique access to a warded summon, and a summon which can do wide AOE damage without hurting allies if one can sufficiently prevent enemies from getting close. This should still be reasonably strong, and unique enough to work with alongside plenty of other future slow Nemelex adjustments.

Give Mlioglotl less distracting animations (canine)
In my slow but continuous quest to remove the vast majority of screen flashes as recurring effects in the game, Mlioglotl's corruption is particularly conspicuous considering the obvious Abyssal terrain effects afterwards and as something particularly annoying when used by a bound soul. This new effect, made with some mild manipulation of ontoclasm's Abyss rock wall tiles, should both look uniquely dramatic, not be quite as glaring when cast, and should even be slightly faster to animate than previously since there's lots of individual effects happening to thus not miss.
(Hypothetically, it'd be nice to use this effects set for a Bend Space monster or something else eventually, but this should be fine for this purpose right now. I've got something of another upcoming idea for it, anyway....)

First new vault review + new vault tiles for 0.35
Two new tilesets for vaults, to help slowly push forward on the eventual capacity to help more overflow altars not solely rely on enemies or lategame decorative features, as well as to help vaults stand out from a visual default:
* A common necromancy-themed floor set for various undead vaults, reusing ontoclasm's old Crypt floor tiles before they were replaced with CanOfWorms's domino set in d753fea and ebc010b, mixed with CC0 bones by finalbossblues and Denzi's old rough floor + Tomb floor tiles.
* A rare weird demonic rock tile, combining CC0 rpg cliff and vine graphics by finalbossblues with CC0 metal frames and abstracted grass surfaces by surt.
Other notable changes:
* drop_trap (the pressure plate micro-vault that drops spiders, snakes, and klowns) now has slightly less spawns in all three cases, but now also reliably places a staircase near it, allowing it to have more functionality beyond being an obvious trap only to be used for free experience when one can handle the spawns by making the trap interfere with an individual stair and stairdancing by it.
* The vaults_shipping_containers vault series now have a guaranteed minimum of reward and threat deployed within them, as the highlighting of hard V vaults with floor_metal_gold in 011df5c makes it far more conspicuous when they otherwise don't contain any particularly notable threat count.
* Since blade talismans are now potentially a game-winning form for quite a few characters, the Elf:2 Hall of Blades now only contains one 33% of the time instead of 50%, matching the 33% chances for specific talismans from the Crypt shop. As a mild bit of compensation for this, the vault now also contains a 2% chance for a random weapons manual, to allow players to occasionally pivot to the low-investment rare one-handers or to fully invest in the high-investment rare two-handers the vault previously once contained as its loot.
* Some underperforming abyssal rune vaults of the past few versions have been tweaked upwards, due to the increased speed of endgame characters acquiring said rune after 99aa80d being still pretty high even after be59399.
* The moth of wrath Necropolis subvaults have been nerfed once more, including more extensions of surrounding the moth in grates until post-Lair. Additionally, necropolis_ghost_earth_crest now gets a pre_lair_d setting using newer monsters to reduce the presence of both.
* ice_cave_small_demon now has slightly more item rewards, to bring it closer to the rough average of other ice cave rewards.
* Trove and ziggurat entry vaults have been adjusted to reduce lines, as well as making the former clash less visually with Shoals when placed there.
* To let the player ghost + negative energy Ziggurat floor set not get completely derailed by orbs of entropy, said orbs have a bit lowered weighting in that set, and are instead highlighted in a new acid themed Ziggurat floor set.

Fix strange behavior with West Wind rampage shot and pacified monsters
If the player rampaged towards a neutral enemy while worshipping a god that would be upset for attacking them, the game would still partially act as though you'd fired this shot (pushing monsters back, giving a Salvo stack, and seeming to fire an arrow), but the arrow would only travel a single tile, ensuring it could never hit anything.
The cause of this was rather opaque but essentially one part of ranged attack code was seeing that the attack would hit a monster that could cause penance and treated the attack as though it was aimed with . (at the tile immediately next to the player), but the wind shot tracer itself saw it as an enemy that could be hit, and treated it as if it was a valid shot.
I am fixing this by making stop_at_allies itself also stop before neutral monsters that would upset your god (the fact that it didn't already probably meant it was possible to get Ely penance with Valour sword beams, but now should not.) and also causing the auto_abort argument of do_player_ranged_attack to imply the use of stop_at_allies automatically.

Add autofight_no_stampede option
This causes autofight to prefer to attack in place rather than stampede forward and move enemies (when eligable).

Rework Zephyr
One of the most vanilla unrands still in the game, Zephyr already shared the name of one of the four winds, so it felt natural to borrow some of its mechanics as well.
Zephyr loses its speed brand and in exchange, attacks with it count as if the wielder always had the Salvo status that anemocentaur's west wind grants - ie: they fire at up to 5 other unobstructed targets at once. It gains a couple more plusses and dex to partially compensate for its unbranded base damage and trades SInv for Fly.

Fix randart Bane scarves having hidden AC (Back-form)
Randart armour that rolls a Bane artprop gets bonus plusses to make it a little more appealing. But it gave these plusses even to armour that cannot ordinarily have any (eg: scarves and orbs). In scarves case, these plusses were hidden but still functioned to give additional AC.
Possibly randarts of these types should get some other perk when AC is unavailable (or simply be disallowed), but for now I am changing the numbers a little so that they simply don't get anything (besides the bonus positive artprop budget that negative artprops always give).

Fix webtiles sidebar not always updating wielded item after letter swap
If the player swapped the letter of a wielded weapon with a letter containing a different item of the same non-artefact properties, webtiles would consider them identical and not update its copy of the player's inventory. This meant that the sidebar would claim the player was wielding a different weapon altogether (ie: what is now internally occupying that inventory slot, and NOT what they are actually wielding).
Rather than examine the full list of every item's artprops every time we send the player, simply flag moved items as 'dirty' when remapping happens, which should avoid this problem.

Fix a mesmerism-related crash (Lici)
If the player was force-mesmerised by a monster (such as by the Obsidian Axe) and this monster ceased to exist for reasons other dying conventionally (such as an Abyss shift), attempting to remove the forced mesmerism key from the monster would crash.
It occurs to me now that this approach may be slightly unsafe, as the key will persist on monsters in such cases, if they are reachable again. Though it is plausible the bugs from this are quite marginal (eg: get mesmerised by a siren while wielding the obsidian axe, have the siren fall down a shaft, take the axe off, run into the siren and get mesmerised by their own spell: fearing them no longer breaks it).
But fixing this might require a somewhat larger refactor (ie: storing forced/not-forced status in the beholder list itself), so I am leaving it alone for now.

Fix undefined behavior when killing a transiting bound soul via daction
Binding a soul with Yred immediately kills any other bound soul the player may have. This is done via daction, and if this daction is applied to a transiting monster (ie: one not currently on any level, likely due to being banished), several bad things can happen.
Since monster inventories are stored as indicies into env.items on the current floor, an in-transit monster that hasn't been placed yet will have arbitrary items from the current floor appear to be in their inventory, which they will then try to drop on whatever coordinate they last left whatever floor they were on. This might be inside a wall, causing other issues, and also means that any real items they were holding will be permanently lost.
The way Crawl handles both monster inventories and other floors makes this a bit tricky to solve, so I have opted to instead give 1 aut of SLOWLY_DYING to a transiting bound soul instead. This should still kill it immediately upon entering the floor it's transiting to, but at a time where its behavior is better-defined.
(This entire scenario makes me worry that other dactions that can kill transiting monsters may have other bugs, but this is the only one that can drop items, so it's possible there isn't any *consequential* bugs with other dactions at the moment.)

Remove an assert that is reachable through a valid event sequence
While it seems sensible to ensure that any monsters on the acting stack are valid, it is possible for non-buggy scenarios to involve this not being the case. A recent example involved a level excursion where a monster died (which adds it to the acting stack during its death code, then removes it afterward). The monster prior to it on the stack was back on the original floor and thus inaccessible (thus the reference was to an invalid monster only until the excursion ended).
This feels... dicey, since monsters on this stack are necessarily pointing at different monsters than they're 'supposed to' during an excursion, but I think the only consequence of this is ocassionally incorrect debug info in crash logs (and it should be very hard to hit the circumstances where this is true). In any case, it feels better than rarely crashing through no fault of the player's.

Give freezing cloud a warning prompt again
The previous warning prompt was lost through a combination of 9513272 and 9726027 (though relying on essentially monster beam code was extremely dicey in the first place...)
Freezing cloud's self-harm warnings have always been more intrusive than most spells (with them commonly warning about a 1-in-48 chance of hitting yourself for minor damage), and some players did prefer them being gone. But at the same time, this means no warning about things like rC- characters obliterating themselves with a 100% chance to hit cloud.
I think that a slightly more nuanced warning would probably have better QoL, but in the meantime I'm putting *something* back in the game.

fix: Prompt for talisman warning inscriptions and excommunication
Talisman !P (Put on) and !R (Remove) inscriptions are now respected. (As well as !*, implicitly.)
Talismans that would excommunicate you now give you a warning. This technically also affects rings and amulets. Though, as far as I know putting on rings and amulets that your god hates merely give you penance each turn. I suspect the warning for penance was intentionally absent so I didn't change that but if there's a ring or amulet that would instantly excommunicate you, there will now be a prompt for that.
The items were already highlighted a scary red by default which was warning enough for the issue to go unnoticed.

This should still kill it immediately upon entering the floor it's transiting to, but at a time where its behavior is better-defined.
(This entire scenario makes me worry that other dactions that can kill transiting monsters may have other bugs, but this is the only one that can drop items, so it's possible there isn't any *consequential* bugs with other dactions at the moment.)

Remove an assert that is reachable through a valid event sequence
While it seems sensible to ensure that any monsters on the acting stack are valid, it is possible for non-buggy scenarios to involve this not being the case. A recent example involved a level excursion where a monster died (which adds it to the acting stack during its death code, then removes it afterward). The monster prior to it on the stack was back on the original floor and thus inaccessible (thus the reference was to an invalid monster only until the excursion ended).
This feels... dicey, since monsters on this stack are necessarily pointing at different monsters than they're 'supposed to' during an excursion, but I think the only consequence of this is ocassionally incorrect debug info in crash logs (and it should be very hard to hit the circumstances where this is true). In any case, it feels better than rarely crashing through no fault of the player's.

Give freezing cloud a warning prompt again
The previous warning prompt was lost through a combination of 9513272 and 9726027 (though relying on essentially monster beam code was extremely dicey in the first place...)
Freezing cloud's self-harm warnings have always been more intrusive than most spells (with them commonly warning about a 1-in-48 chance of hitting yourself for minor damage), and some players did prefer them being gone. But at the same time, this means no warning about things like rC- characters obliterating themselves with a 100% chance to hit cloud.
I think that a slightly more nuanced warning would probably have better QoL, but in the meantime I'm putting *something* back in the game.

If any single ghost in a bones file failed any of the many checks in debug_check_ghost(), the entire file would be rejected with an error of 'buggy bones file' and then deleted. This gave virtually no useful information to track down or fix the actual cause of the problem, so instead print a different specific error message for each source of failure. This should aid future debugging.

fix: Prompt for talisman warning inscriptions and excommunication

Talismans that would excommunicate you now give you a warning. This technically also affects rings and amulets. Though, as far as I know putting on rings and amulets that your god hates merely give you penance each turn. I suspect the warning for penance was intentionally absent so I didn't change that but if there's a ring or amulet that would instantly excommunicate you, there will now be a prompt for that.
The items were already highlighted a scary red by default which was warning enough for the issue to go unnoticed.

Fix monster Portal Projectile not firing proper ranged attacks
Portal Projectile was firing just the beam part of its ranged_attack_beam without the ranged_attack attached (because it bypassed fire() entirely).
The most obvious result of this was an assert when trying to drop a throwing net that was shot this way, but launcher attacks done this way were also using the default beam damage instead of performing an actual ranged attack. This meant that (no matter what was being fired) they did 10d10 damage with a to-hit of -1. This made it nearly impossible to actually hit anything, but if they *did*, they could do far more damage than expected.
(Using an external unwind_var like this is a bit ugly, but using fire() with source=target causes some minor animation issues that I am not going to try adjusting during feature freeze.)

Fix a crash when a monster starts its turn in a cloud of blastemotes
Usually it's not possible for a monster to start its turn in a cloud of blastemotes as the cloud explodes when the monster moves onto it. However, if a monster is created in a cloud of blastemotes, the cloud will explode at the start of the monsters turn. This resulted in a crash as the code to apply a cloud to a monster was triggering the blastemotes which deleted the cloud of blastemotes and then trying to get which actor created the cloud.

Fix shooting stars sometimes pulling enemies closer (Odds)
Seekers (like foxfire and shooting stars) can be triggered by monsters walking into them, which is internally happened by monster swapping code. Design-wise, this is so that foxfire cannot jam enemy movement indefinitely in confined spaces, but it results in a strange effect with shooting stars: If a monster 'swaps' with a shooting star, when it is hit by it, the star is now 'behind' it and its knockback will push it forward instead of backward.
Resolving this was somewhat complicated, but essentially we 'pretend' that the shooting star is still one tile further in the direction the monster just moved (and also kill it early, so that it gets out of the way of the knockback). This should result in the star knocking the monster back to the position it was at at the start of its movement.

Fix slymdras shedding too many heads when off-level
Slymdras are only supposed to shed excess heads when above 4, but a bug resulted in them still being able to shed a single head while off-level, no matter how many they had. If this resulted in them having 0 (or fewer) heads, the game would immediately assert upon entering the floor.
This commit hopefully fixes this behavior, and also includes some save compat code to give headless slymdra a single head back, so affected games don't become softlocked.

Fix being able to constrict an unlimited number of things (Ge0FF)
The max number of targets an octopode can constrict at once is reduced by any weapon or shield they're wielding (since they take up some of their tentacles). But if an octopode was already constricting many things when they changed gear in a way that lowered the number of things they could constrict below what they were already constricting, they would then become able to constrict an unlimited number of things (since a negative number of usable tentacles will always be non-zero).
Now you cannot cheat the limit this way.
(I've not bothered with code to immediately unconstrict some number of targets when swapping weapons in this way; it feels like too niche of a scenario to worry about.)

Fix a crash when bound soul Mara clones die
If you used Yred's bind soul ability on Mara and then stabbed him to death in vampire form, he would form a bound soul and then when one of this bound soul's summoned copies died it would try and rise as a vampire thrall which would crash. This was because the bound soul still had the VAMPIRIC_THRALL_KEY property from when Mara was stabbed to death which meant that its clones also had this prperty and would try to rise as thralls when they died. However, we were accidendally killing them when ending their ENCH_SUMMON_TIMER enchantment when ending all their enchantments as part of making them into thralls.

Fix a crash when sealing a mutli square door
If there were two non-hostile monsters in the same door and the first (first in the order we iterate over the door squares) monster could be pushed to positions A and B but the second monster could only be pushed to position B, when checking if it was posible to push all the monsters from the door, we would move the first monster to position A as that was the first position it could be moved to and then we would move the second monster to position B as that was the first position it could be moved to that hadn't already had a monster moved to it and thus we would determine that it was posible to move all monster. However, when actually moving the monsters, we would check whether moving the first monster to position A or B would give the highest tension and in the crashing case we would move it to position B, we would then try to move the second monster and this would trigger an assert as there was no longer a position to move it to (position B had already been taken by the first monster).

Fix a crash when bound soul Mara clones die
If you used Yred's bind soul ability on Mara and then stabbed him to death in vampire form, he would form a bound soul and then when one of this bound soul's summoned copies died it would try and rise as a vampire thrall which would crash. This was because the bound soul still had the VAMPIRIC_THRALL_KEY property from when Mara was stabbed to death which meant that its clones also had this prperty and would try to rise as thralls when they died. However, we were accidendally killing them when ending their ENCH_SUMMON_TIMER enchantment when ending all their enchantments as part of making them into thralls.

Fix a crash when sealing a mutli square door
If there were two non-hostile monsters in the same door and the first (first in the order we iterate over the door squares) monster could be pushed to positions A and B but the second monster could only be pushed to position B, when checking if it was posible to push all the monsters from the door, we would move the first monster to position A as that was the first position it could be moved to and then we would move the second monster to position B as that was the first position it could be moved to that hadn't already had a monster moved to it and thus we would determine that it was posible to move all monster. However, when actually moving the monsters, we would check whether moving the first monster to position A or B would give the highest tension and in the crashing case we would move it to position B, we would then try to move the second monster and this would trigger an assert as there was no longer a position to move it to (position B had already been taken by the first monster).
Instead, check every combination of movement to see if there is a valid way to push the monsters and also to see which way results in the highest tension.

Last wrap-up vault review for 0.34
Basically all of this is safe small repairs work and tweaks noticed or discussed post-feature-freeze while preparing for next version work.
* A highly dangerous late D guarded unrand vault using extended threats now has no_tele_into, as was not as much a standard when it was removed in 20c470e and reinstated in c80224b.
* Death knights have been taken out of two more D uses as monsters now meant for post-rune-acquisition threat levels.
* Some minor terrain issues in overflow altars have been fixed up.
* As reported by Lici, cryptofortress_bobbens is no longer placing deep water and extra laughing skulls in the very last segment of it, which also occasionally broke Tomb entrance placement.
* With more threat variety available in Crypt and more people visiting it for the shop, evilmike_haunted_forest no longer particularly needs a second alderking in the same chamber as the first.
* The Devouring Rift trove now can offer amulet randarts of Stealth++ to vary up the ^Contam +Blink jewellery, matching its other offerings of stealth gear for Abyss survival purpose.

Alert monsters affected by clouds to their creator

Don't pollute the lua C stack (DracoOmega)
For some reason, I never checked whether the error handler added in 2b9214b6 was being removed by lua_pcall(). I assumed it just removed it like how it removes the called function and its arguments. It turns out we were polluting the lua C stack with an unremoved copy of this handler C function with almost *every* call to lua from C! This grew the stack so much that various weird issues could happen. In the case of the Disco Pan vault, where lua is getting called a lot in every turn, the game would start to lag more than it did in the past on that level. This was probably the source of the mysterious objstat behaviour as well, but I'll have to investigate that further.
This commit removes the handler from position 1 of the stack after each pcall. Debugging has shown that we're now entering functions like lua_element_colour_calc::get() each time with a C stack size of 0 instead one that can easily grow into the thousands. Movement through Disco Pan is significantly faster, although still laggy due to the amount of lua calls happening.

Fix an obscure parchment rendering crash (Odds, Rypofalem)
When drawing map cells, in certain cases the cached foreground tile wasn't being reset - for instance, if there was a staircase with items on it, tile_draw_map_cell would add the item marker to that cells while otherwise leaving the tile ID alone.
This could cause a crash in the specific circumstance where there was a parchment on a previous floor at the same position as a corpse on top of a stair or hatch on the new floor. The code to pick the proper tile for a parchment would still think there was a parchment there, and then would treat that corpse as if it were this parchment and often result in an assert (since both monster type and parchment spell were encoded as item_def.plus and monster enums can greatly excede the valid range for spell enums). Unlike many such crashes, this one was possible on both local tiles and webtiles.

Fix broken lua api for item slot remapping (WizardIke)
This has been somewhat broken since the consumable inventory change, allowing the player to specify slots outside the allowed gear range and cause a variety of undefined behavior or crashes on demand by trying to do so.
This splits the old items.swap_slots function into two new ones:
items.swap_gear_slots() works more or less the same as swap_slots() used to (but properly constrains the result to valid gear slots)
items.swap_consumable_slots() works on consumables, and requires the caller to specify which category, but takes letters as slots instead of indicies. eg: items.swap_consumable_slots('potion', 'c', 'X')
It has been suggested that existing API functions should allow interacting with letters more directly (instead of often requiring items.letter_to_index() calls), which makes sense to me, but I have deferred that for the moment.
This fixes #5050

Make unidentified orbs less expensive
Whether an orb does anything relevant for a character is very ego-dependent, so unidentified orbs being as expensive as they are makes them an often unappealing gamble.
Shift more of the cost from the base orb to the egos themselves to make these much cheaper while maintaining a hopefully appropriate cost for identified orbs.

Make Maw's dietary preferences more intuitive
Maw form could eat any enemy with a 'corpse', but it turns out that this isn't very player-facing these days and does not (as one might expect) directly correlate to what enemies can get raised as zombies. While a few instances of living monsters that didn't drop corpses might be arguably intuitive (such as jellies) there were many weird exceptions. Maws were unable to eat orb guardians, mana vipers, boggarts, Maurice.... (and many others). There isn't even any way to look this up in-game, and it meaningfully affects where and when the form is appropriate to use.
Instead, allow Maw to eat exactly living and plant enemies, which are clearly circumscribed categories. (This also affects what you can be mesmerised by, as they share the same criteria.)
Acid blobs surely cannot be more unhealthy to eat than tainted leviathans were, after all.

Slightly reduce aux damage and base parrying amount. Reduce the body armour AC penalty at minskill from -70% to -50%, but increase it to -20% at max skill (instead of 0%). Prevent negative slaying (eg: from Claustrophobia) from reducing your SH (which could even cause you to lose your baseline shield when attacking....).

Fix broken lua api for item slot remapping (WizardIke)
This has been somewhat broken since the consumable inventory change, allowing the player to specify slots outside the allowed gear range and cause a variety of undefined behavior or crashes on demand by trying to do so.
This splits the old items.swap_slots function into two new ones:
items.swap_gear_slots() works more or less the same as swap_slots() used to (but properly constrains the result to valid gear slots)
items.swap_consumable_slots() works on consumables, and requires the caller to specify which category, but takes letters as slots instead of indicies. eg: items.swap_consumable_slots('potion', 'c', 'X')
It has been suggested that existing API functions should allow interacting with letters more directly (instead of often requiring items.letter_to_index() calls), which makes sense to me, but I have deferred that for the moment.
This fixes #5050

Fix Xom acting around sufficient counts of firewood (Zadiel)
8b305a4 made conjured monsters (e.g. orbs of destruction, battlespheres) count as having some minimal amount of experience value to help with tension not really being equipped to assess their comparative danger levels. This was adjusted into peripheral monsters in 62137d7, which accidentally started counting plants, fungi, and other non-hostile obstacle-monsters as having non-zero experience values for tension's calculations. This doesn't have a lot of problems for most uses of tension, but it does mean Xom will act in many pointless ways around sufficient amounts of plants, which is extremely undesireable behaviour that is thus fixed here.
A more ideal solution for this is most likely to add actual experience values for various peripheral monsters for the sake of better tension calculations (instead of setting orbs of destruction to be worth half an ogre of threat), but with the version release looming, this should function enough as a fix for now.

Fix a crash when a summoner accepts a Gozag bribe
If an out of view summoner summons some monsters and then you move so that the summoner and its summons come into view at the same time, we would iterate over all the monsters that just come into view and call `seen_monster` on them. If this call to `seen_monster` caused the summoner to accept a Gozag bribe and become friendly, its summons would be killed but we would still call `seen_monster` on these dead summons resulting in a crash.

Reset lua state properly for objstat/mapstat
Similar to d744bac7, we now reset lua states and subsequently reload the necessary data after each iteration. This fixes a problem where large objstat jobs (e.g. 1000 iterations of generating all of the Dungeon branch) eventually error repeatedly in zonify layout code. The precise reason for this hasn't been fully debugged, but it seems to be related to available lua memory. For now, it's wise to follow the same close -> reinitialize procedure as we do for the main game loop in each objstat/mapstat iteration.
Testing has shown that this reset doesn't significantly impact objstat performance. In the future, when I rework game loop lua reinitializaiton to more carefully reset and load only the necessary data, we can revisit needed to close and reopen the lua state for all game modes.

Adjust morphogenic ooze slimification accumulation
While the original af_slimify timing was roughly based off of bat cloud drowinsess numbers, clouds are much more consistent at applying their effects than attack brands are in combat. It's very plausible to be killed by a morphogenic ooze band well before one actually gets slimified in the first place, due to each turn where an ooze fails to hit allows one to work off the effect build-up without really bothering with any counterplay, since each hit only applies 35-45 aut of a status that needs to reach 100 to activate that also goes down 10 each turn. Rather than making them apply the status in one or two hits entirely, I am doubling the status application and threshold numbers both, which thus halves the rate the status wears off mid-fight. As rare monsters with a singular gimmick far less instantly lethal than other summoning or conjurations mechanics added to the branch this version, we might as well test a version of the monster with a functional version of the gimmick first.
(This commit also adjusts the colour schema of DUR_SLIMIFYING to reduce the ambiguity of going across multiple shades of magenta. No save-compat code has been included with this commit, as there is rather little benefit in tactically converting an older save mid-fight to try and prevent slimification against exactly one encounter. I am also fixing a notable bug where one could cancel jelly form immediately after actually getting it, which I hope hasn't been distorting the testing of the monster entirely....)

Fix partisan and trident doll displays
bf00e41's copy-pastes accidentally assigned the partisan randart paper doll tile to tridents. While fixing this, I've also noticed that trident randarts have never had their own paper doll rendition seperating them from non-mundane tridents, and thus also added a new paper doll tile modifying roctavian's non-mundane trident that should properly reflect the appearance of roctavian's randart tridents.
(There's... a lot of other weapons that evidently have never haad proper randart paper doll tiles, which I will investigate into and make more tiles to handle before the version release.)

Couple of small altar vaults (#4998)
Adds a sealed altar containing a non-temple god that requires consumables to access, and a zin overflow that also places a [sometimes non-overflow] chaotic god altar with themed monsters sealed behind a runed door.
[Committer's notes: Tweaked the god altar weightings for the former vault to reflect how rare they overall should be available. Heavily adjusted the latter vault to scale substantially more with depth rather than just throwing slime creatures on D:3 at newcomers, completely revised the visuals to both emphasize Zin sealing the god and to use tiles customized per-god rather than using Tartarus stone for Jiyva and Lugonu, and adjusted the weight of both the vault and its chance to just roll Xom over Jiyva and Lugonu so it doesn't have to be hyper-rare in its placement.
Closes #4998.]

Tweak worldbinder summons once more
When ugly things and very ugly things stopped spawning in V as of f517b90, worldbinder summons weren't adjusted in exchange, so they still declared themselves summoning ugly things from the Vaults. As V-convoking worldbinders are still notably the strongest of worldbinders despite the removal of thunderhulks from their list in 3be09a1, this could still do with further adjustments.
Worldbinders summoning from The Vaults now get polterguardians and ironbound preservers, rather than very ugly things and ironbound frosthearts. This should be reasonably distinct for a summoner's summons even more directly helping its own summoner's lifespan, and not feature quite as much spikes of resist checkecs as the previous ones.
Meanwhile, I'm also trading away the Shoals' set's manticores and merfolk aquamancers for merfolk sirens and water nymphs, which should be less boring as support monsters compared to the projectile conjuration effects struggling to entirely function in the Abyss's terrain pressures. Both of these have some of the worst-performing worldbinder summons in terms of kill stats (and aquamancers also feel pretty high tier in their own branch), so this should continue to nudge the total worldbinder threat pools closer together.

One last balance adjustment for Protean Grace for now
Experimentation with Protean Grace's state after ad136e9 has left it off in too weak a state to be of much interest for the average non-Xom non-Jiyva character, as the testing of #4949 demonstrated. While we do have a fair number of other interesting top-tier mutations available, there are still further potential iterations of the mutation possible that can continue to try to handle the vast gap of plausible mutation counts provided by the mutation gods.
This commit's approach is quite bluntly direct in this intent: protean grace now no longer has scales to every two mutations as both of the previous states did, but it also now is hard capped to not provide any further than +7 Slay and EV+7, and it no longer counts itself. This should still provide a bit of a tangible edge to rolling it with only a few mutations or getting past the soft cap ceiling via mutation gods, while still preventing the mutation gods from having a mutation that just flatly provides +10 to +20 double stat benefits.

Quick scraped-together vault review
Of note:
* zot_entry_small once more no longer places on Depths:$, as was screwed up by eee5569 automating zot entry set-up.
* minmay_fire_ice_demons no longer places item rewards when it spawns in Cocytus or Gehenna.
* grunt_twist_and_shout no longer accidentally places pointless runed doors.
* The D:1-2 polyominoes now use a non-default rock tile so they stand out even slightly as highly abstract objects versus the rest of early Dungeon rock wall generation.

Couple of small altar vaults (#4998)
Adds a sealed altar containing a non-temple god that requires consumables to access, and a zin overflow that also places a [sometimes non-overflow] chaotic god altar with themed monsters sealed behind a runed door.
[Committer's notes: Tweaked the god altar weightings for the former vault to reflect how rare they overall should be available. Heavily adjusted the latter vault to scale substantially more with depth rather than just throwing slime creatures on D:3 at newcomers, completely revised the visuals to both emphasize Zin sealing the god and to use tiles customized per-god rather than using Tartarus stone for Jiyva and Lugonu, and adjusted the weight of both the vault and its chance to just roll Xom over Jiyva and Lugonu so it doesn't have to be hyper-rare in its placement.
Closes #4998.]

Tweak worldbinder summons once more
When ugly things and very ugly things stopped spawning in V as of f517b90, worldbinder summons weren't adjusted in exchange, so they still declared themselves summoning ugly things from the Vaults. As V-convoking worldbinders are still notably the strongest of worldbinders despite the removal of thunderhulks from their list in 3be09a1, this could still do with further adjustments.
Worldbinders summoning from The Vaults now get polterguardians and ironbound preservers, rather than very ugly things and ironbound frosthearts. This should be reasonably distinct for a summoner's summons even more directly helping its own summoner's lifespan, and not feature quite as much spikes of resist checkecs as the previous ones.
Meanwhile, I'm also trading away the Shoals' set's manticores and merfolk aquamancers for merfolk sirens and water nymphs, which should be less boring as support monsters compared to the projectile conjuration effects struggling to entirely function in the Abyss's terrain pressures. Both of these have some of the worst-performing worldbinder summons in terms of kill stats (and aquamancers also feel pretty high tier in their own branch), so this should continue to nudge the total worldbinder threat pools closer together.

One last balance adjustment for Protean Grace for now
Experimentation with Protean Grace's state after ad136e9 has left it off in too weak a state to be of much interest for the average non-Xom non-Jiyva character, as the testing of #4949 demonstrated. While we do have a fair number of other interesting top-tier mutations available, there are still further potential iterations of the mutation possible that can continue to try to handle the vast gap of plausible mutation counts provided by the mutation gods.
This commit's approach is quite bluntly direct in this intent: protean grace now no longer has scales to every two mutations as both of the previous states did, but it also now is hard capped to not provide any further than +7 Slay and EV+7, and it no longer counts itself. This should still provide a bit of a tangible edge to rolling it with only a few mutations or getting past the soft cap ceiling via mutation gods, while still preventing the mutation gods from having a mutation that just flatly provides +10 to +20 double stat benefits.

Fix recreating a automapped level leaving blank tiles
This was due to call to `tile_new_level` in `wizard_recreate_level` setting all the tiles in the tile cache to TILE_DNGN_UNSEEN after the call to `load_level`. However, this call to `tile_new_level` isn't even needed anymore as commit ef9621c added a call to it to `load_level` (Technically the functions were `TileNewLevel` and `load` back then). The call to `tile_new_level` in `load_level` happens before automapping the level so it doesn't cause this problem.

Fix some vaults not getting the colour tile they specified
If a vault specified a floor or rock wall tile name with no colour e.g. floor_rough it would get that tile in the colour used by console for floors or rock walls. If it specified a tile with a colour e.g. floor_rough_blue it would get the tile in the colour specified. This let us use the console colour for tiles with animated colours as these can't be specified directly (e.g. there is no floor_rough_etc_random for a random animated colour) while still letting tiles use a different colour from console when it looks better.
However, some coloured tiles are just aliases for the non-coloured version e.g. floor_rough_red is an alias for floor_rough so if a vault specified a floor as having the tile floor_rough_red it would actually get the tile floor_rough in whatever colour console used for floors.
To fix this, only apply animated console colours to floor and rock wall tiles. This is actually what we did prier to commit 6dfb6d6 but it was lost in the rework.

Some lingering 0.34 tile clean-up work
* Spore form now properly depicts fungus taking up the lower half or feet of various bodies, as was missed in the original implementation of providing such tiles in 31b8f63 due to confusion over other parts of the concept. This also adds additional tiles for naga, armataur, and djinn all avoiding the barding-slot area for the former two.
* Dragon-coil talismans now have shadows (for e.g. Shoals), as was accidentally left out of providing the new tile in c257eed.
* The hive-form felid tile has now been flipped to match other felid transformation tiles.
* The werewolf felid tile now uses part of LemurRobot's vampire felid tile, as the head from Denzi's cats had poor proportions in comparison.
* Orbs of mayhem now use the frenzied icon from eedf646 instead of the droplet of blood that e.g. vampric weapons use.
* I've adjusted ontoclasm's Death's Door icon to actually bleed past the spell icon frame to match the other level 9 spells doing the same, as was neglected back in 8d63b16.
* Monster Deflect Missiles now once more uses ontoclasm's old Deflect Missiles icon, to both reflect the older use of the name and to have a somewhat more dramatic icon for a now stronger effect.
* Planar Overlay now has a new tile made from ontoclasm's Passage of Golubria tile instead of just directly using that same tile.
* The plainest of the Depths stone wall tiles now has slightly more decoration on it to help it match more with the rest of its set.
* Detected decorative floor tiles use a less bright lower-contrast tile to be less gaudy when detecting them in large masses (e.g. with the current arrangement for weapon-inlaid floor in Elf:2's Hall of Blades).

A batch of Darby's vaults
Sixteen neat vaults (plus subvaults) reflecting some repeated vault desires: vaults with heavy theme components that can spawn in multiple branches, vaults that focus on deploying newer monsters, and vaults that can place pre-Lair or earlier to add more interest to the ever-pressured earlygame.
Alterations past the initial feedback phase for this submission included: * some reduced weights for early uses of wall mimics (that autoexplore and autopickup will activated anyway) or other aggressive gimmicks, * more D monster scaling and general item reward scaling versus depth, * syntax adjustments to continue pushing my vault header house style.
Additionally, this comes with support for some decorative floor options from tiles added in 76a730d not then integrated into other vaults- a djembe set, a now somewhat-Yred-flavoured flag, and a pike with impaled skulls. These aren't getting a lot of distribution quite yet (between the impending feature freeze and their narrowed flavour), but the lua and descriptions have been set up for these vaults, with the write-ups also mostly written by Darby.

Fix a failing test
Since b9c0c7a the previous example used would fail.
In theory, these body slot mutations are supposed to be able to trade off with each other when forced, but this seems to have not been the case for all the other ones for many years now (and correcting this while still preventing the situation fixed by b9c0c7a is non-trivial, nor is it clear that it is more interesting gameplay to be able to randomly swap your foot mutation for an almost-identical one anyway).
In the meantime, pick a different pair of mutations that do satisfy this test's intent.

Don't frenzy protected allies with an orb of Mayhem (Szymekc)
Allies that can't be affected by any player AoE (eg: player shadows, ancestors) probably shouldn't be affected by this either.
This incidentally stops a crash with attacking your own frenzied shadow. If another shadow attack triggered on this attack, your old shadow would be destroyed before your new shadow tried to hit it, resulting in it hitting a reset monster.

Fix crumbled stairs not redrawing properly in descent mode
We were using `force_show_update_at` followed by `view_update_at` to redraw a square after crumbling its staircase. The call to `force_show_update_at` isn't needed any more as staircase peaking will have marked the square is known causing `view_update_at` to call it for us. `view_update_at` will update the map knowledge for the square, however, we have already updated the map knowledge of what feature is present and do not wish to update the player's knowledge of monsters and clouds etc. `view_update_at` also shouldn't be called for squares out of sight and will trigger player in LOS events for the square as well as sometimes incorrectly updating the map knowledge. It also only redraws the foreground layer in local tiles and the old staircase and new floor that has replaced it are both drawn in the background layer. Instead use `redraw_view_at` to redraw the square.

Allow fortress crab to double intrinsic properties of dragon armour (Lici)
Resists from dragon armour were internally handled in a way that was neither an ego nor an artprop, and thus didn't get affected by fortress crab. Now, we automatically map (most of) those intrinsics to the artprop cache and do not check them in any other way. This slightly simplifies some code and allows them to interact properly with fortress crab.
(Regen from troll leather is still handled somewhat differently - as all regen items are - and steam resist has no artprop equivalent. Though this latter case also doesn't matter here, since doubling it wouldn't do anything, anyway.)
In future, this sort of procedure could also be extended to intrinsic resists from enhancer staves or even jewellery.

Fix leaving Gozag not always redrawing shops that close
We were using `view_update_at` to update the map knowledge and redraw a shop after closing it. However, it only redraws the foreground in local tiles (shops are drawn in the background layer), it only properly updates map knowledge for squares in LOS and it updates more than just the map knowledge of the shop (e.g. it also updates monster knowledge). Not redrawing the shop tile often wasn't noticeable as we update the shopping list which will cause levels excursions which redraw the whole level if it has any items on it. Instead update only the map knowledge of what shop is on the square and then redraw the square.

Don't crash when attacking a banished enemy in spore form
Distortion banish resets an enemy before it reaches this point, resulting in an assert when we try to check their unbreathing status.
This does mean you also don't get any mushrooms for attacking an enemy on an attack that banishes them, which is mildly unfortunate, but probably not that big a deal (and their position is already reset, so it would require additional special handling to work).

Fix an appearance of the currently-retired Sword of Power (Lici)
When the Sword of Power was removed in 6326a8a for overlap with the Valour brand in 5a1e93a, the vault minmay_guarded_unrand_sword_of_power was missed due to our legacy standard of unrands all being listed with underscores. (It would just function as a +9 great sword of valour and be replaced with such on loading up a save, anyway). There's a little bit of dev interest in keeping around the ancient name due to the inheritance of it from pre-Stone-Soup, so rather than remove the vault entirely, the vault just gets a highly-enchanted randart great sword of valour instead of making the removed unrand.

docs: Recommend Tab instead of ! for spell library navigation
While ! makes perfect sense to recommend here (the spell library is normally accessed via `M`, requiring shift for most players), its main flaw is that it can only navigate the spell library forwards (i.e. to the right). The Tab key performs the same function as ! here, but does not require shift -- even more critically, Shift+Tab will navigate the spell library backwards. Along with being slightly more conveniently placed than !, the Tab key may encourage more active use of hiding and showing spells, as well as the auto_hide_spells option.

Fix some issues with invalid pet_target and allies
Previously, if the player's pet_target was set to a monster that was, for some reason, no longer a valid target for your allies (often due to being out of LoS, but potentially for several other reasons), we would still set is as their foe and then later on reset their foe to MHITNOT.
This manifested in a couple of negative ways. Running from a fight with a dead ancestor could make the ancestor respawn wandering (since it is trying to fight a now-distant monster and cannot) and newly-summoned allies would sometimes stand around doing nothing if you had a 'leftover' pet target from a previous battle.
Now we test pet_target validity before assining it to allies. In cases where the pet_target is invalid for them, we use the same auto-targeting behavior we would use if there was no pet_target at all (ie: engage the nearest visible enemy).

Fix mouse clicks sometimes not working for Yes/No prompts on local tiles
A bug was causing mouse clicks on yes/no popups to be ignored on Windows. Root cause: negative mouse keycodes (for example CK_MOUSE_B1 == -9997) were sometimes passed to C library character functions (such as isalpha/toupper). Those functions are defined only for EOF or values representable as unsigned char; passing negative non-EOF values invokes undefined behaviour and corrupted the prompt logic. The fix replaces use of the C library character test with the project’s ASCII-only helper isaalpha() when checking popup input. Using isaalpha() avoids invoking undefined behaviour on negative keycodes and ensures mouse clicks are correctly accepted.
This change only replaces the character test; no other logic was changed.
This hopefully fixes #4968, fixes #4590, fixes #4090, and fixes #3074
[Committer's note: included PR description into the commit message and noted issue fixes. I hadn't been able to reproduce the original bug on my end, but the logic seems sound, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.]

Make revelation reveal most squares exactly.
This removes aliasing from features such as floors, walls, water, statues, and fountains, which previously showed as base types when mapped.
The aliasing wasn't really doing much - vaults are already often quite identifiable from shapes. Magic mapped levels now look prettier, and we don't tell small lies to players.
Altars and portals are still mapped to UNKNOWN_ALTAR and UNKNOWN_PORTAL, because running after unknown altars and portals is fun.
Small consequences: - Exclusions placed in unseen terrain now respect the opacity of that terrain, since we know it from mapping. - Digging targeters now know whether mapped squares are diggable, fixing #4509. - We note any notable features when we map them, if the aliased feature is notable. This includes orb statues revealing the orb enemy.

It used to return true when it erased an element and false when the element didn't exist. However, its return value is no longer used after commit fd489b4 so we can just use the erase method instead.

Don't delete tentacles on terrain change
Friendly and unfriendly tentacles were completely destroyed by any change to the terrain underneath them. For example, eldritch tentacles could be deleted by casting hellfire mortar at any segment, or Summon Forest when the generated pool touched the tentacle.

Don't re-enter shops after they reappear (Flugkiller)
When a shop was covered by a temporary terrain change, it was marked as unnoticed when it came back, and therefore reentered.
This was happening because even though temporary changes don't call unnotice_feature, their reversions do.
We fix this by making unnotice_feature only work on features which are present (which was already the case for stairs), and fixing the one caller of this who changed features before unnoticing them.
Also make a function with an unused return type void.

Fix a shadow mimic crash with throwing darts (Odds, Rypofalem)
Dith shadow mimic isn't supposed to mimic throws of darts or throwing nets, but if the player threw the very last of a stack of darts or throwing nets, the item would have lost its type information by the time the shadow would try to act, resulting in the shadow attempting to throw a non-misile (and crashing).
Now, we check and save the missile type *before* shooting instead.

Vault review, mostly 0.34 Troves and talismans edition
* With slightly more talisman variety provided this version and the continued delays on much further Shapeshifting reworks that'd permit more divine support for talisman distribution, the unique-per-vault Lair end talisman chance has been nudged up from 10% to 12.5%. The Bailey fortress talisman chance remains 10%, but also gets a 5% chance to place blade talismans as well (as are now weapon skill agnostic).
* Some talismans distributed by tier have been juggled around to accomodate the new eel and spore talismans plus the blade talisman nudge upwards. The talismans have also been distributed around a small bit, with spore talismans in particular leaning a bit towards decorative fungus vaults with the lack of general plant enemies earlier on, and eel talismans unsurprisingly placing in water heavy vaults.
* A ranged weapons check has been added to troves to deal with various brands (like spectral and reaping) being incompatible with those weapons. As such, for characters with more ranged weapons skill than any other weapon skill, Eringya's Secret Bog provides longbows (as are loosely appropriate for that wooded marsh) and The Dread Knight's Derelict Chapel simply just focuses on draining ranged weapons.
* Rutra's Hidden Sanctum (the Hexes and Stealth trove) no longer generates for characters who have less than 1 Stealth skill.
* Other Trove item improvements include providing troll leather armour randarts whenever one would previously get normal leather randarts, one more spell in each book, slightly more manuals than previously, some slightly higher consumable stacks for many different items, enhancer auxes properly managed fore the The Name-Rending Infernalists' Reservoir and Ozocubu's Refridgerator, more Strength n randarts in Leda's Sunken Stockpile, and slightly higher odds to get the Octopus King's Garden as is the main jewellery trove.
* I've fit in a single new custom shop vault, finally providing an air-themed shop to parallel the earth-themed shop added 13 years ago, also meant to help slightly increase the amount of eel talismans available per game.
* wall_brick_lightred has had its colours slightly tweaked down towards reasonability while it is currently buggily in Bailies, just in case it ends up being used in other vaults anyway.

Forbid Bane of Multiplicity from cloning certain doom sources
I hesitated on this one a few times in past, but Multiplicity already doesn't clone uniques due to their outsized danger level, and it was a rather unfortunate high-roll when Multiplicity given by a raven or orb of entropy immediately made more of them, creating this wildly spiralling doom train.
(Other sources of doom by monsters I didn't think were significant enough to be included in this restriction.)

(Other monsters using these spells should be unaffected.)

Fix getting eternally trapped in the Abyss.
Since 1e4f93a, any time the player transitioned to a floor of the Abyss, the depth they were sent to was based upon their XL. However, this also happened to include *returning* to the Abyss from a use of Okawaru's Duel ability. If a player Duelled a monster while inside the Abyss, then returned to a different floor of the Abyss than the one they'd started the duel on (which is possible, due to random roll), this wouldn't pop the old Abyss floor from the level stack. Meaning that if the player exited the Abyss, they would instead reenter whatever floor they started the duel on.
This changes Abyss default depth code to only apply specifically to taking DNGN_ENTER_ABYSS and DNGN_EXIT_THROUGH_ABYSS, which hopefully covers all cases it *should* apply. And also adds some 'rescue' code to pop erroneous Abyss entries from the level stack when attempting to exit.
This fixes #5025

Rework how dungeon and depths wall tiles are picked
When picking wall tiles for the dungeon and depths, we pick the tiles from multiple tile groups. When deciding which tile group to choose a tile from we would weight the tile groups by the total weight of all the tiles in the group. However, some of the tile groups were torches which have a cycling animation and cycling animations require special casing if the tiles that make up the group don't all have a weight of one. Also, adding an extra animation frame to a torch would result in the torch becoming more common. We also couldn't easily adjust which tile groups were more often picked based on depth in a branch but could only really double the weight of a tile group by adding it to the list to pick from twice. Instead, specify the weight for each tile group when adding them to the list to pick from.

Don't run bolt post hit effects on dead felids

Simplify TabbedRegion
It had support for buttons that activated a command when pressed instead of bringing up a list of commands. However, this hasn't been used since commit d016549 and would need some fixing if it were to be used again. It also had the remains of support for adding the regions at arbitrary indices, but they have been added to the end of the list of regions since commit a8d0a72. Stripping out support for both of these things makes it much easier to see what TabbedRegion actually does.

Add variaty to icy and slimey floor tiles under features
When drawing a slimey floor without a feature on top of it, we choose its tile from a number of slimey floor tile variations. However, when drawing it under a feature (e.g. under a harlequin trap) it would always use the same tile variation. The same was also true of icy floors from frozen ramparts. Instead, also choose from all the variations when drawing under a feature.

Fix corruption sometimes not recolouring stone and metal walls
Some branches were using coloured tiles for their stone or metal walls. For example, Zot 2 was using TILE_DNGN_STONE_WALL_BLUE as the tile for its stone walls. However, such tiles have no colour variations and thus can't be coloured based on the grid colour of the square. Instead, use the non-coloured version of the tile and when colouring based on grid colour use a default colour based on the location and feature type if no grid colour is set.

Remove warding/paradox buffs from orc apostles after challenges are won
It was possible they had been given these due to banes the player had. And as fun as it is to imagine, you *probably* shouldn't be able to get perma-warded apostles this way.

Make Bane of Mortality less likely to do nothing at random
The chance to summon a reaper when below 50% HP was 'only' 50% (and incurred a cooldown). While reasonably high-sounding on paper, the number of times a player is even eligable to summon one while the bane lasts may be few, and it was very possible to win the coinflip every time.
Now, a reaper will *always* be summoned when its criteria are met (but the player must by 40% HP or less instead of 50%). This should make it more consistently relevant, but also slightly more in the player's hands due to the injury threshold.

Greatly increase activation chance of the elemental side-effect banes
These could be situational enough as-is (not every area of the game is even capable of dealing the damage type in question) and in combination with how much resistances lowered the application chance, they just didn't feel relevant enough in practice. This may help.

Cap how many things can be affected by Bane of Warding at once
In order to ensure the effect was relevant, when Bane of Warding triggered, it would affect all monsters in LoS of the triggering monster at once. In most situations this was fine, but Ziggurats in particular could cause this to affect a fairly absurd number of monsters at a time (and a few other circumstances like V:5 arrival could be likewise bad.)
Now, cap the number of things given warding at once to 9 (starting with those closest to the triggering monster), but increase its baseline trigger chance very slightly.

Fix a crash with involuntary forms expiring over deep water (Sloweel)
If the player was polymorphed into a flying form, moved over terrain that required flight, and this polymorph wore off while the player's default form was some talisman without flight, the game would crash. (Essentially because transforming the player back into their original talisman form would fail due to terrain.)
Instead, allow involuntary transformations to happen regardless of terrain under the player, but veto forms which *would* require emergency flight in player::polymorph itself, so that they won't even be attempted. This hopefully means the only case of involuntary transformations that 'drown' will be polymorph itself expiring.

This had less dramatic effects than one might think, since it could only happen *after* monsters has been given their energy for the turn (which means it could never result in an incorrect number of monster actions). But it could affect things like the spread rate of clouds, how much time was lost from status effects that decrement at the start of the turn (like paralysis), damage taken by constriction, and a handful of other things.

Make hostile monsters no longer aware of all player immunities
This was accidentally introduced by af31bf4 but I had hoped to fix it with a more complete solution of exposing 'obvious' immunities (such as from being undead) while still hiding resists from gear and other things. (This would address several existing issues with monster bolt of draining and dispel undead that currently result in monsters being unwilling to cast them on other monsters if the *player* is immune, for example.)
Unfortunately, other tasks have taken too much time this version, so I am just rolling back to the prior state for now. I still hope to address this properly in 0.35, but this is at least better than leaving it as-is.

Reduce the speed with which the Abyss rune can be found on depth 4 and 5
Prior to the Abyss XL change, the rate at which the player could encounter the rune at depths lower than 3 effectively had to factor in the length of time it would take to find the stairs required to descend that low in the first place (at least, most of the time). Now that endgame players skip all that and enter Abyss:5 directly, I feel the average time-to-rune is just too brief.
The rate at Abyss:3 and 6-7 are unaffected (the latter is mostly academic anyway, since there's no way to end up there without a rune unless you're deliberately being weird.) But Abyss:5 should now only be ~2.2x as fast as Abyss:3 instead of ~4.7x.

This makes it species-agnostic (ie: formicids don't end up tossed into a deeper Abyss floor than a draconian who is equally far into the game) and also avoids an issue where Ru's Sac Experience preventing a character from reaching XL 27 would mean they would never get Abyssal loitering penalties.

Further and further vault review
This won't be the last one for 0.34, but the current vault submissions batch has lead to me reviewing over vaults yet once more and getting back to my ever-endless list to address things with. Worthy of note:
* Overflow altars now have some additional buniq tags to mildly reduce the preponderence of displaying-things-behind-glass or the newly pressured animated altar space, as we've been accumulating over the years. Really do need to work on both more tiles and more ways to vary up how overflow vaults are picked on the first place....
* The Erebora trove now has chances for manuals of invocations replacing one of the spare dragon armour slots, to match the change made to the corresponding Mask of the Dragon in 089dd02, and to provide something for characters who don't care about possibly-low-enchantment dragon scale randarts.
* The Crypt:$ shop (the Gilded Reliquary) now has yet more inventory variety, with the high-tier weapons getting a chance for reaping-brand randarts, the unrand / second jewellery slot getting a chance for an aux armour randart with the Bane property attached, and the rare shield slot getting a chance for a kite shield randart also with a Bane attached. The chance for a shadow dragon scales randart now also a Bane attached so it can consistently be +6 to +11, to hopefully make it more interesting an option this late into the game as well.
* Another boilerplate-shrinking text function has been added to vault.lua to shorten defining specific-ego scythes (for e.g. reapers).
* Vaults using void oozes and eyes of devastation have been adjusted a bit more after their buffs in 1bf1e5d and 72556b3.

Mild tile touch-ups and additions
* Toxic bog terrain (from Eringya's Noxious Bog) are no longer just palette swap of shallow water, so that we don't use a greenish swap for water long after newcomers can seen non-damaging palette swaps in Sewers. These new tiles combine the previous palette swap by ebering of enne's edit of Yurik's shallow water with a CC0 rock texture by Surt, a CC0 poisonous swamp map texture by Time Fantasy, and a CC0 alien planet wall tiling by Emcee Flesher.
* Test blobs, test statues, and non-redefined statues have their own tiles now to make testing with them a little less confusing sometimes (compareable to test spawners having their own tiles). The former combines Ontoclasm's test spawner with Bloax's jelly, and the latter two combine Ontoclasm's currently-unseen redefineable base statue tile with Bloax's obsidian statue.
* More rims have been adjusted from form tiles following up from 903b294 to fix up dragon form shadow lining.
* Vampire bloodprince palettes have been simplified yet further.

Change how rampage attacks work somewhat
Attacks made while rampaging were somewhat odd in that they caused the entire movement to use the player's attack speed instead of their movement speed (no matter how many tiles of movement happened in the process). While this was originally intentional, it results in several negative effects (in my opinion) that are only exacerbated by rampage now stacking: -All modifiers to movement speed (both positive and negative) were completely ignored on this movement. This is a bit untuitive and also feels somewhat against the spirit of such effects in the first place. (It also meant that even a frozen naga of Chei with Leda's active could move multiple tiles in 5 aut so long as they had something to hit.) -Movement speed effectively become directly correlated with how fast a weapon one was using and things like Finesse could also double the player's 'movement' speed in specific scenarios. -The synergy with WJC Lunge attacks was fairly extreme. Martial attacks were performed as if the player moved at their normal movement speed, but then the actual time taken for the action would often be considerably less. A character with normal move speed and a 0.6 delay weapon would make 10 aut worth of lunges *and* another rampage attack on top of that, all in 6 aut. A naga could perform 14 aut worth of lunges in 6 aut (and then if one tossed on things like Leda's or -Swiftness, it was possible to squeeze a truly absurd number of lunges into the length of a single attack). -Nowhere in-game points out this behavior and it seems common for players not to realize it happens.
While individual points could be addressed in other ways, collectively it seems better for rampage attacks to simply also happen at movement speed - which they now do. Cases where movement speed is faster than attack speed result in proportionally weaker attacks (just as is true for martial attacks, as of d6c3115a).
However, there is one way that this new system could result in worse playfeel than the old one, leading to a second change. Consider how timing works out when rampaging forward against melee monsters, especially 1v1. Let's assume a 0.6 delay weapon, for the sake of argument. In the old system, rampaging into melee would perform an attack and then give the target 6 aut worth of energy - the same as waiting in place and then attacking. In the new system, rampaging into melee would perform an attack and give the target 10 aut of energy - *worse* than waiting for them to step close and attacking. This means that it would often become correct to stop rampaging earlier and allow a monster to step forward, breaking a player's flow.
In the interest of keeping it 'never worse to rampage forward unless you don't want to stand in that spot', rampage attacks now ministun the target by 5 aut. This is a little better 1v1 with most weapons and worse against groups (and hopefully keeps the distinction between lunges and rampage attacks distinct - the former can result in more explosive damage, while the latter is more about mobility and control)
(I considered making the ministun proportional to the difference between your movement speed and attack speed, up to a certain limit, but it seemed like it might be best to try something simpler.) 

d6c3115a2b | 2026-01-06 08:13:37 -0330 | DracoOmega
Adjust martial attack behaviour when attack speed is slower than move speed
WJC martial attacks perform a number of individual attack proportional to the ratio of attack speed and the speed of the movement that triggered them (ie: if you spend 10 aut moving but attacks only take 7 aut, you have a ~43% chance to attack twice). This does keep the 'average' attack output constant over time - whether one is moving or not - but also means that in cases where one's attack speed is slower than their movement speed, martial attacks can fail to attack at all.
This can be especially jarring with lunges against sleeping targets, where damage normally feels 'guaranteed', and failing to happen quite unexpected. (It also does not require the player to be using untrained weapons; spriggans move so quickly they can run into this issue even with certain weapons at mindelay!)
Instead of having a chance to completely fail in these cases, downscale the damage caused by the martial attack to the same degree. (eg: moving at 6 aut with an attack delay of 7 aut will now result in a 100% chance of making an attack that inflicts ~86% of its normal damage instead of an 86% chance of making an attack that inflicts 100% of its normal damage.) This approach was already used for spellclaw attacks and should still result in similar overall damage output while feeling 'smoother'. Martial attacks where attack speed is faster than move speed are unaffected, and still attack multiple times.

Add an assortment of god-specific overflow altars (and more) (#4956)
"I have created a selection of overflow vaults for your god distribution needs.
Some of them use the elemental animated colors of the god's altars in console, but in tiles. This creates a color-changing animation similar to that in the Pan disco vault (and the existing Uskayaw overflow vault that also uses the disco color). This can be a little much so I've tried to keep the animated parts somewhat low-key in terms of size. On the other hand, if there's any place to use flashy animated colors, it's probably god vaults. I figure the gods can be a little ostentatious. I'm certainly not going to be the one to tell them "no". Most of the vaults that use this gimmick have "console" in the name.
I also fixed up a few incidental things elsewhere in overflow.txt, mostly formatting and a couple instances of my own vaults where I noticed things were arranged out of the current prescribed directive ordering. There was an existing vault that used an Ignis vault for flavor, and I made a second.

Fix offhand cleave using primary weapon brand (srcrip, tswn)
Cleaves with offhand weapons had a 50% chance to use the brand of your primary weapon. This was very noticeable with a spectral weapon in your primary hand and a non-spectral axe in your offhand as sometimes the non-spectral axe would place a dancing weapon copy of itself leaving you two dancing weapons.

Add an assortment of god-specific overflow altars (and more) (#4956)
"I have created a selection of overflow vaults for your god distribution needs.
Some of them use the elemental animated colors of the god's altars in console, but in tiles. This creates a color-changing animation similar to that in the Pan disco vault (and the existing Uskayaw overflow vault that also uses the disco color). This can be a little much so I've tried to keep the animated parts somewhat low-key in terms of size. On the other hand, if there's any place to use flashy animated colors, it's probably god vaults. I figure the gods can be a little ostentatious. I'm certainly not going to be the one to tell them "no". Most of the vaults that use this gimmick have "console" in the name.
I also fixed up a few incidental things elsewhere in overflow.txt, mostly formatting and a couple instances of my own vaults where I noticed things were arranged out of the current prescribed directive ordering. There was an existing vault that used an Ignis vault for flavor, and I made a second. I've put a uniq_ tag on both to prevent the small but nonzero chance of the gimmick showing up twice in one game, which would make it feel slightly less special.

Format multi-line egos/artprops a bit more readably
Now, instead of the descriptions of long egos/artprops spilling over into the column where the names of those artprops are listed, they will attempt to be justified in a second 'column'. This should make a number of things a fair bit more readable, in my opinion.
Unfortunately, since the text of an item description is constructed as a single giant string, the size of the popup in which is it slated to appear isn't even to know at the point where text justification occurs - and in the case of webtiles, I must admit that I have no idea whatsoever how plausible it is to pass information back to C++ about the size of a popup handled in html. However, console ensures at least 80 characters are available and both local tiles and webtiles default to at least that. As far as I can tell, shrinking the window to the point that this stops being the case has usually rendered other parts of the UI difficult to use, so for now I am accepting it as 'good enough' to assume 80 characters are available.

Use a more typical method for creating TRJ spawns and increase its range
TRJ's use of find_newmons_square_contiguous was unconventional and the only use of such outside of vault code. It's also not clear that it was necessary anymore - the function call was largely unchanged since it was added in 2008, at which point create_monster() was unsuitable since it gnored LoS and would happily create jellies *inside* the loot vault (where they would eat all the loot). This hasn't been true in a very long time, so I'm not sure there's any good reason not to use a more conventional approach.
In addition, this increases the range at which TRJ jellies can spawn, if things are very crowded. This shouldn't matter much in the average case, but should make it less likely for TRJ to produce nothing in confined spaces (especially after, say, reading ?butterflies).

Fix TRJ sometimes not spawning jellies when injured (kurkuma, Darby)
TRJ used connectivity pathfinding to place the jellies it spawned upon being injured. Since 1e333bf, these connectivity checks (unintentionally) considered slimy walls more expensive to traverse. This meant that, effectively, if TRJ was next to a slimy wall itself, nowhere else would be within range to place jellies.
This plausibly had some other negative effects as well, since it affected general connectivity code, though it's unclear what specific problems this would cause.

Fix exploding mounted monsters sometimes crashing
When a mounted monster takes damage, sometimes the rider or the mount dies leaving the other alive. We handle this by changing the type of the monster to be the type of the part that survived and then killing a new monster of the type of the part that died at the same position. Unfortunately this means that if the code for killing a monster clears the monster grid at the position of the monster it will leave the living monster not on the monster grid which can lead to crashes. The monster on death explosion code was clearing the monster grid as this used to be needed to prevent the explosion from hitting the dead monster but can be removed now that explosions are fineffs.

Properly use seeds for objstat and mapstat
Currently these modes load seed 0 and just keep using the RNG indefinitely across iterations. This is fine in terms of randomness, but it means these runs can't be recreated exactly without rerunning exactly the same number of iterations. When diagnosing map placement errors, it's helpful to be able to recreate a specific seed.
This commit has objstat and mapstat properly initialize the 0 seed into a random one and picks a new seed each iteration. Also, for any Lua errors reported to stderr, we also report the current seed. Finally, we also respect setting a specific seed via the command line. In this case, we only allow running one iteration. This could be a useful way to catalog the items/maps in a specific game seed using these modes.

Revise Abyssal depth mechanics, make them mostly depend on player XL
The depth at which the player could get banished to the Abyss was based upon the HD of the monster which banished them (or the player's XL, if it was from a disto unwield). Unfortunately, the formulas used meant that it was already plausible to land in Abyss:2 from a D:5 monster and yet possible to still land no deeper than Abyss:2 by the end of Elf.
Pre-Lair banishments are already extremely dangerous; there's no need to sometimes make them even more dangerous. At the same time, lategame banishers often can't land the player deep enough in the Abyss to be a legitimate threat. By basing the level of Abyss the player lands on purely on their XL, this should serve to make things a little fairer earlier and a little more relevant (or at least quicker) later.
Note: this now also affects the depth the player arrives at when taking an Abyss entrance manually!
At the same time, this commit revises behavior regarding the Abyss pulling the player deeper and also remembering the deepest they've ever been. The main thrust of those (as I understand it) was to simultaneously discourage Abysscumming and to pull the player to an appropriate threat level when entering the Abyss manually in endgame. But the behavior was a bit too random - it might simultaneously leave an endgame player on Abyss:1 for longer than anyone could find interesting, or rapidly pull an unlucky earlygame character even deeper.
It also created, in my opinion, some unfortunate incentives. Abyss depth was originally added as a way for players to more quickly obtain runes and leave, once they felt strong enough to handle the risk of doing so, but due to the Abyss remembering the deepest floor you've ever been on, moving more deep than strictly necessary could create future danger on the off-chance the player was ever banished again (or escaped Pan via the Abyss). This meant that it was often correct in a 15-rune game to leave the Abyss for last (ensuring that it is completely trivial and also somewhat time-wasting when finally done.)
With Abyss depth automatically scaling to your XL, most of this should be unnecessary now. However, to preserve a little of the danger of legitimate extended Abysscumming, the player can be forcibly pulled below J:5 only after spending a substantial amount of time there at XL 27. Any manual excursions to deeper depth at any time will not affect the depth the player later reenters the Abyss.
(It is possible the depth formula will warrant some future tweaks, but let's see how this feels.)

Fix a teleport closet in nicolae_vaults_little_squares_5 (various)
An issue I noticed back in 5f48996 (but neglected to handle due to the scope of that commit), which seems to have been noticed quite a few times recently, including in #4962. I had briefly thought it was linked to various Lua update issues, but have since re-discovered the exact vault, and have dealt with it via some guaranteed door placement.

Revise Abyssal depth mechanics, make them mostly depend on player XL
The depth at which the player could get banished to the Abyss was based upon the HD of the monster which banished them (or the player's XL, if it was from a disto unwield). Unfortunately, the formulas used meant that it was already plausible to land in Abyss:2 from a D:5 monster and yet possible to still land no deeper than Abyss:2 by the end of Elf.
Pre-Lair banishments are already extremely dangerous; there's no need to sometimes make them even more dangerous. At the same time, lategame banishers often can't land the player deep enough in the Abyss to be a legitimate threat. By basing the level of Abyss the player lands on purely on their XL, this should serve to make things a little fairer earlier and a little more relevant (or at least quicker) later.
Note: this now also affects the depth the player arrives at when taking an Abyss entrance manually!
At the same time, this commit revises behavior regarding the Abyss pulling the player deeper and also remembering the deepest they've ever been. The main thrust of those (as I understand it) was to simultaneously discourage Abysscumming and to pull the player to an appropriate threat level when entering the Abyss manually in endgame. But the behavior was a bit too random - it might simultaneously leave an endgame player on Abyss:1 for longer than anyone could find interesting, or rapidly pull an unlucky earlygame character even deeper.
It also created, in my opinion, some unfortunate incentives. Abyss depth was originally added as a way for players to more quickly obtain runes and leave, once they felt strong enough to handle the risk of doing so, but due to the Abyss remembering the deepest floor you've ever been on, moving more deep than strictly necessary could create future danger on the off-chance the player was ever banished again (or escaped Pan via the Abyss). This meant that it was often correct in a 15-rune game to leave the Abyss for last (ensuring that it is completely trivial and also somewhat time-wasting when finally done.)
With Abyss depth automatically scaling to your XL, most of this should be unnecessary now. However, to preserve a little of the danger of legitimate extended Abysscumming, the player can be forcibly pulled below J:5 only after spending a substantial amount of time there at XL 27. Any manual excursions to deeper depth at any time will not affect the depth the player later reenters the Abyss.
(It is possible the depth formula will warrant some future tweaks, but let's see how this feels.)

Fix Cassandra having an obsolete monster spell, rename Sprint (the spell)
When I gave Cassandra Swiftness, I neglected to realize that it had been removed as a monster-castable spell for many years already - since save compat code still allowed it to be castable with the correct effect. The 'real' spell monsters are supposed to have in its place is Sprint.
...however, Sprint is a very silly name for a spell currently cast by exactly one elephant slug (not exactly famous for sprinting). Given that both Gastronok and Cassandra are wizardly, it makes more sense to me to name it something Swiftness-adjacent and make it actually sound magical. So it is now called Fleetfoot instead. (Yes, I know slugs are not exactly famous for having feet either, but at least this one is figurative.)

The impact damage of other monster spells was generally perfunctory, but this turns out to be a significant part of its threat, so I think it would be clearer not to act like it's the same as the player spell at all.
There should be no functional change with monsters which had this spell. Player ghosts/illusions will still receive it place of player Freezing Cloud (but servitors no longer can cast it, since they only look for 1-to-1 matches at present, alas).

Some further improvements to tracers against invisible players
The approach of the previous commit could very slightly wrong in some cases, since hit_count can be incremented even by actions that might not call tracer_affect_player() (for instance, explosions prior to their explode phase). Since what we're actually concerned about is that monsters don't believe they can hit the player repeatedly - overpowering all friendly fire concerns - put the check for duplicate player hits in the tracer itself.
In addition, change fuzzing behavior so that monsters will not believe the player could be standing in a wall or on top of their own allies. While there are probably multiple bugs this results in, one I am specifically aware of is that monsters will stop casting healing/buffing beams near an invisible player, since they think the player is standing on top of all their allies.

Fix more friendly fire issues with penetrating beams against unseen players
Tracers with invisible players count the player in every square within 2 of their actual position, to allow firing at the wrong square when the monster targets the wrong square. This leads to penetrating tracers double counting the player for the purposes of friendly fire calculations (and would lead to more than that, except that no beam can hit anything thrice).
We fix this by not counting more hits on the player than bounces+1. This is a bit crude, but works in all cases except a bouncing beam that misses the player on the first pass and hits twice thereafter, which seems likely rare.

Remove fuzz_invis_tracer
This updated the tracer target. This did almost nothing; the target is not persisted because undo_tracer reverts the update, and the ray being traced was not changed. There's a possibility it was having more subtle effects, like changing when the ray stopped or whether it thinks it passed its target, but if so these were almost certainly unintended and unreliable, so it's hard to see how they could matter.
We keep the other thing this function did, which was check whether the monster is targetting somewhere near the player.

Fix many talisman properties not scaling between integer skill levels
Apparently divided_scaling() was meant to be used in most cases rather than scaling_value(). I think that's a little confusing (and also there were very few cases that *didn't* want to divided the scaled value after calculating), so I have refactored slightly.
scaling_value() should now be the only function any form needs to interact with directly, and in the rare cases you want to divide something by something other than the default 100 scale, that is what you specify.

Rework choosing tiles for items
Normal, shiny, runed, glowing and randart versions of an item can all get their own tile. For an item with all variations we would define a tile group with 5 tiles in it for the item and then use tile 1 for normal, tile 2 for shiny, tile 3 for runed, tile 4 for glowing and tile 5 for randart. We could also only put 4 tiles in the group in which case shiny and runed items would get the same tile, or 3 tile in the group so that shiny, runed and glowing items all get the same tile, or 2 items in the group so that all non-normal items get the same tile, or 1 item in the group so that all items get the same tile.
This usually worked well, however, there were a couple problems. First, for an item to with one tile for artifacts and one tile for everything else, you would either add special case tile picking code for this item or duplicate its non-artifact tile so that its tile group consisted of its non-artifact tile, its non-artifact tile duplicate, and then its artifact tile. Secondly, some items have multiple tiles for normal versions of the item or for artifacts etc. This would require special casing the item tile picking code to handle the item. All this special casing resulted in item tile picking being a hard to modify mess.
We have a very similar problem when picking tiles for walls and floors of different colours and the solution to that problem can easily be used to fix our item tile picking mess by replacing colour (e.g. red, green, etc) with enchanted level (e.g. shiny, randart etc).

Rework how equipped tiles are specified for artifacts
In art-data.txt we were specifying the file for the equipped tile of artifiacts. The tiles are defined in dc-player.txt and we need the name of the tile so we were searching through dc-player.txt to try and find a tile that had the given file. However, parsing tile definition files isn't easy and the way we were doing it put some very strong restrictions on how tiles are defined in dc-player.txt making it hard to change. It also makes more sense for the tile names to be used in art-data.txt as a tile can be made from modifying the file it was loaded from or even compositing multiple files together.

Improve handling of permanent creations of summoned/charmed monsters
There has been a recurring class of bug over the years where permanent monsters made as part of another monster behavior (for instance, protean progenitor death spawns or mangrove fauna) would not properly inherit some of the properties of their parents. Namely, if you charmed the original, or summoned it (perhaps by a scroll), any monster made be it would be permanently friendly.
There was bespoke handling for a subset of these cases for some monsters, but this was fairly incomplete (and different from monster to monster).
This commit adds a simple, unified way to inherit the charm and summon status of a given 'parent' monster. It then revises code for The Royal Jelly, protean progenitors, shambling mangroves, and bennu revival to use this (fixing an assortment of bugs in the process).
It is possible there are other cases which should make use of it that I have overlooked, but they would now be simple to address once pointed out.

A thematically appropriate very minor buff (now that its BEAM_VISUAL isn't unexpectedly waking monsters up on its own....)

There is technically still a slight difference between using BEAM_VISUAL and using any other beam with affects_nothing = true, which is that the latter can still print messages for observing a beam.

Rework BEAM_CHAOS functionality
BEAM_CHAOS was rather odd in some ways and behaved like neither the weapon brand nor the cloud. Since it applied its non-damaging effects entirely via enchantment beams, it did not have access to the same set of secondary effects as other sources of chaos, and unlike chaos weapons, did no damage whatsoever if it rolled a status effect (though the hit message could misleadingly suggest it did do damage!). Its status effects also checked Will, unlike other chaos sources (but only when the player was the one being hit!) and could roll irrelevant effects that other chaos sources would exclude (such as Weakness on a monster with no attacks).
Now, it instead picks a random damage element, and then has a 50% chance of applying a status effect on top of it, using the chaos_affects_actor() code shared by other chaos sources. (The old chance of applying a status effect was ~62%).
In addition, wording of the beam hits is changed so that it indicates what element of damage is being done.
This is a relatively significant change to the damage componant of Awaken Flesh, which should be a little more capable of actually doing something to the player (and will be even more relevant for some 0.35 monster plans).

Remove impact damage from monster flame, noxious, and chaos cloud spells
This damage was very negligible and also sometimes weird: chaos cloud impact damage followed different rules for its effects than the clouds themselves did and noxious cloud impact could actually do poison damage (which the clouds explicit never do). On top of this, it could print somewhat confusing messages about 'missing' the player, regardless of whether the player was now standing in a cloud or not.
These spells now function purely as cloud delivery and the direct beam prints no additional messages about whether they 'hit' a target or not.
This comes with some additional tracer improvements where 0 damage cloud beams will check the validity of their cloud against a monster target (rather than assuming they will have no effect since they do no impact damage)

Make monsters a little less foolish when aiming cloud spells
Monster cloud spells like fire crab breath have fairly randomized cloud placement, and their tracers would consider a target in range if there was ANY chance at all of a cloud being placed on their tile. However, this chance might be quite low, semi-regularly resulting in monsters breathing clouds at the player that never actually reach them.
This looks a bit foolish, so let's have them only take sure-fire shots.

Don't wake monsters with BEAM_VISUAL
These are intended for VFX and should not have a mechanical effect. (I wonder if this is an old simulationist relic?)
In practice, it was difficult to have this matter, since most visual beams are used by code that will also affect the monster in some way outside of the beam anyway, but a few examples where this was possible included pulling a corpse with Cigotuvi's Embrance or a monster being thrown over their head with Throw Ally.

Tweak Awaken Flesh behaviour
It now prints the message about unleashing explosions *before* the explosions happen, rather than after. It also transforms the piles of flesh because causing damaging explosions (as another piece of insurance against similar crashes to the one just fixed).
It also takes 'ownership' over any piles of flesh animated, whether they were originally summoned by that specific fleshcrafter or not. (Prior to this, fleshcrafters could animate non-aligned flesh, whose abominations would continue to be non-aligned and possibly under someone else's summon list.)

Fix cloud targeting for non-players
After 2322c751, the cloud targeter required having player LOS_NO_TRANS for any potential cloud location, regardless of the agent. This doesn't make sense for either monster agents or dungeon cloud generators. For the latter, it meant that cloud generators wouldn't place clouds not on their position until the player had LOS_NO_TRANS. This would give players who could see cloud generators e.g. through glass a false impression of how many clouds a generator would place.
This commit requires drops the LOS_NO_TRANS condition when there is no agent. When there is an agent, the requirement is based on the agent's LOS, instead of always on the player's.

Don't interrupt travel when the tide changes (Lici)
When Shoals tides changed terrain under the player's feet, it would interrupt autoexplore. This obviously happened quite a lot, which was mildly obnoxious.

Prevent banishing The Royal Jelly
Banishing TRJ (often by accident) was always somewhat janky. It didn't count as killing it for the purpose of opening the rune vault, either forcing the player to track it down in the Abyss and kill it there or give up on the rune entirely (or switch to Jiyva). But even if one went to the Abyss, TRJ could still be lost forever - a single Abyss shift after encountering it would remove it from the game altogether.
But with the new addition of slimy stairs, rather than simply blocking access to the rune, banishing TRJ now locks the played into Slime:5, sometimes with no other recourse but to join Jiyva. This places new urgency on an old oddity.
Other alternatives were considered (such as opening an immediate portal to the Abyss for the player to track TRJ, along with preventing them from ever being lost), but fighting TRJ in the Abyss seems like such a mistake in general that this would open happen to unaware players or by accident. Ultimately, I think it's not worth preserving, and have opted for this simple change instead. If anyone wants justification, assume that Jiyva is keeping a special hold on their most important follower, so close to the heart of their power.

Fix crashing volcano triggers
This commit contains a fix for erroneous lua map marker behaviour seen when hellmonk_volcano_collapse places as well as a fix to the event dispatcher to prevent this behaviour from crashing the game. The first fix will allow the map to create its markers properly when it places. The second will prevent games from crashing where the map has generated already with incorrect markers. I'll discuss both fixes more below.
Regarding the lua map maker behaviour, something odd is happening under lua 5.4 with a closure that's used directly as a lua map marker. In lm_trig.lua, the funciton Triggerable.synchronized_markers() creates a closure with an upvalue `first` that initially true and supposed to be set to false after the first call to the closure. After that, the markers this function makes will be so-called "replica" property markers. What's happening in practice is that modifications to `first` aren't being retained by subsequent calls, so all markers being placed are primary ones (i.e. TriggerrableFunction). Strangely, this problem goes away if the lua state context is exited from the closure before `first` is examined. That is, if I add calls to e.g. `crawl.mpr()` or to the `io` library, subsequent calls to the closure see the updated (false) value for `first`. My fix was to store the primary initialization in the Triggerable table (keyed by replica id) rather than updating an upvalue. But this should be considered a workaround, as it's very concerning if closures/upvalues aren't behaving properly.
For the second fix to dgn_event_dispatcher, it seems that this class is a bit naive in expecting the listeners in its internal list to be valid. Since it fires off events to dlua that can execute arbitrary code, it's certainly possible an arbitrary map marker in the dispatcher's list might get removed (meaning it's an invalid listener object). dgn_event_dispatcher::fire_event() already makes a copy of its listeners before firing events because directly iterating over this list is unsafe for the same reason. Since the copied list might contain a pointer to a deleted map marker, I've added a method to verify that a listener is actually in the master list. This is checked before attempting to fire off a dungeon event on a listener.

Mildly adjust the way petrification works
One of the key things that distinguishes petrification from paralysis is that the player always gets a chance to respond to it before it happens. Except... that technically isn't true if the player is unlucky enough: applying petrifying to an already petrifying target instantly finishes the petrification. With walking earthen tomes often casting it many times in a single turn, it was very possible to get instantly petrified with no recourse.
This commit removes that behavior for both monsters and players (it wasn't even documented in-game, to my knowledge!).
At the same time, it attempts to give a consistent 30 aut to respond to beginning to petrify (rather than it depending somewhat unintuitively on how slow youe previous action was). This meant that while the player could usually perform 2 normal speed actions before petrifying, sometimes they could not (which could be very unexpected).
Finally, spellpower of the monster petrify spell is increased somewhat in compensation, as well as the chance for clouds of calcifying dust to petrify the player.

Adjust various timing issues with Paralysis (Acrobat), and tweak Vex
The way paralysis timing was handled internally had some wierd and unintuitive interactions with minipara in particular. While theoretically intended as a 1-turn paralysis, if it happened to the player while they were taking a 10 aut (or longer) action, it you wouldn't actually cause them to lose any time at all! But if the action was faster than that, they would in fact lose 10 aut. (ie: Moving and getting minipared = 10 aut, Attacking at 0.7 delay and getting miniparaed = 17 aut). This meant that in many 1v1 situations, minipara might have literally no effect besides looking very scary.
This situation is a result of two things: a) While stunned by any means, the player passed time in 10 aut increments (meaning 1 aut of remaining paralysis will still consume 10 aut) b) Paralysis loses duration at the *start* of the player turn (meaning it will immediately lose duration equal to the speed of the previous action).
(a) is easy to fix - we now pass time in 10 aut increments while stunned, unless the remaining stun time is less than 10 aut, in which case we pass only that much time.
(b) is a bit harder. Ignoring the turn spent becoming paralysed would make full paralysis while slowed/statue significantly worse that is right now.
However minipara should do *something*, so I am opting for all player paralysis to last 5 aut more than previously (along with not always rounding to 10 aut intervals on decay). Considering players spend a lot of time attacking things at faster speeds than 1.0 (for which this will often reduce duration slightly), this isn't a strict buff to the effect, but should hopefully make it slightly more consistent - particularly for minipara.
In addition, this rewrites some very old logic that technically allowed paralysis from god wrath to stack in duration with other sources (except in ways that could sometimes resulted in *reducing* how paralysed you are instead.) This is too niche to be concerned with, and now they simply won't attempt to paralyse you if it wouldn't work.
(This will result in a minor bug in upgraded saves where the notes for paralysis from prior to this commit will display their durations divided by 10. I decided this wasn't worth the save compat code.)
Finally, this makes a modest chage to Vex behavior. Instead of the player attacking at 1.0 speed no matter what, they will attack with their normal attack delay (and if there isn't enough aut left at the end of the effect for another attack, simply pass the remaining time.)

Slightly refactor actor::cannot_act()
The current behavior of ::cannot_act() is moved to ::helpless(), while ::cannot_act() gets daze and vex folded into it, instead of checking for those manually in multiple places.
The idea is that cannot_act() means "Cannot take independent action" without any stabbability or EV penalty (which is implied by helpless())
Multiple places have been given the newly correct function call, as appropriate.

Give dispersal traps a short cooldown (and fix a bug)
While dispersal traps have an interesting effect that can rapidly recontextualize combat, there are many scenarios where - once they are first triggered - it becomes impossible to prevent monsters from rapidly retriggering it for many turns in a row, making combat overly chaotic and uncontrollable. This can be especially true in parts of Tomb, with its confined spaces and swarms of batty death scarabs.
Now, each time a given dispersal trap activates, it goes dormant for 4-7 turns, during which it will not trigger at all. This should be often enough to remain very relevant without leading to situations where the positions of everything get randomized constantly.
At the same time, this commit fixes another bug where monsters were blinked by dispersal traps in expanding radius order, which could lead to the same monster being potentially blinked many times (ie: a monster close to the trap would be blinked slightly further away, then be found again as the iteration continued, blinked again, etc.) This was functionally fairly similar to blinking each monster once, but tended to produce more clouds, more messages, (and probably had a slightly higher chance of blinking monsters out of LoS entirely). Now it should blink each monster exactly once.

Don't unmarshall numeric lua marker data as float
Our marshalling code has apparently never worked properly for float lua numeric values. That is, any precision in the value of a marshalled numeric lua value would be removed, since the value is cast to integer. In the conversion to lua 5.4, the map marker marshalling code wasn't updated to push the unmarshalled value as an integer lua value and now always pushes a floating point one.
Going forward, we should either have a scheme for marshalling lua numeric types properly or at least error when a caller attempts to marshall a numerica lua value that's actually floating point. The former probably involves having every instance of lua marshalling use file.marshall_meta() and using the same floating point/int union kludge we use for marshalling/unmarshalling float values elsewhere in save files. Since there are no cases of attempted marshalling of non-integer numeric values in the current lua marker code that I can see, maybe just adding checks/errors is the best approach for now.

Increase Shadowslip's piety cost
While I don't want to overly kneecap the 'backstab' Dith archetype *too* heavily, Shadowslip provided an awful lot of both defensive and offensive utility for its very low cost, and especially in the hands of stabbers might be a bit too good. Let's see if this is a better spot for it.

Don't refresh shadow mimic HP on each trigger while Misdirect is active
Since the shadow mimic is recreated every time it triggers, each proc effectively fully heals it. This is more or less intentional in normal usage (and it's not very durable anyway), but Shadowslip's misdirection effect is specifically intended to end when the shadow is killed and also gives a invo-based max hp boost to make it more durable. Being able to repeatedly trigger full heals in this state probably contributes a bit too much to its longevity in stabbing scenarios (and also in an RNG-prone way)
Instead, preserve its current health during misdirection, each time it respawns (but increase the invo-based max HP bonus very slightly).

Update beholders at the start of the player's turn, too (Acrobat)
We primarily scanned for whether to break mesmerisation/fear at the end of the player's action. This meant that many things which happened on the monster's turn to change LoS would not break the effect until the end of the *following* turn (even if the player clearly could not see the beholder at all on their turn).
This could even lead to perceived inconsistencies. For example, if reading ?fog created enough clouds to immediately break LoS with a beholder, mesmerisation would end. But if they did so via spreading later on (in manage_clouds()), LoS would often still appear to be immediately obscured to the player, but mesmerisation would *not* end.
Now in addition to checking at the end of the player's turn, we also check at its start, which should fix these issues.

Fix a couple Xom banishment-related issues and simplify
When e2fda63 fixed Xom only ever fake-banishing (regardless of player XL), it also accidentally mostly prevented fake-banishing from happening at low XL *and* left a very, very small chance to get banished for real at low XL too. But the code was very old, and mildly confusing in its application, so I have simplified.
Fake banishment can happen without any XL check (it's harmless, after all!) Real banishment now becomes *more* common with XL rather than less (this behavior long predates the Abyss having depth-scaling, so late banishment was very harmless, whereas late Xom banishment now should still remain dangerous.)
Overall rate of banishment should be fairly minimally affected on the whole.

Don't do level catchup after exiting Okawaru's Arena (Odds)
Time technically always passed outside while one was Duelling, but old level catchup code was unreliable, so this wasn't always obvious. However, new level catchup code is quite reliable, so Duelling a monster would often result in returning to the level completely surrounded by whatever other monsters were nearby.
Now time outside the arena should be 'frozen' for most purposes.

Fix lua Worley noise functions (PanSaczeczos and others)
A few values in the Worley noise output were actually floating point values despite having names like "pos" and "distance" that more implied integers. This is my fault for not checking this more carefully when converting lua API code to lua 5.4. The end result was that many layouts that use procedural code based on Worley noise were broken. I'll need to do a second pass on the changed lua api functions to confirm that I didn't miss any other data that needs lua_pushnumber() instead of lua_pushinteger().

Add stack traces to dlua error reporting
The switch to Lua 5.4 has uncovered a few previously silent bugs in dlua layout code. Even with the error message, which includes source file and line number where the error occurred, it can be difficult to assess how an error arose. Furthermore we have no permanent record of these errors after they occur.
This commit implements backtrace reporting for errors in dlua, as well as a section in the morgue where these are permanently saved. This new "dlua_errors" morgue section will be enabled by default in trunk. For non-game modes like objstat/mapstat where errors are reported to stderr, we always include a dlua backtrace on stderr after the error message.
Finally, we simplify the call to any persistant score function used for Sprint. Now we avoid erroring when the function doesn't exist.

Remove an unused method and refactor
The map_def::resolve() method hasn't been meaningfully used for some time. It used to directly manage resolution of map lines, but this is no longer the case.

This commit standardizes use of ::state() to check/initialize the lua state followed by subsequent use of the private _state member. It adds a ::pcall() method to centralize setup of the throttler and any future lua_pcall setup.

Lua 5.4: Improve usage of integers in the API
Lua now has separate integer and float storage for numbers internally, Using the correct type of number allows us to more precisely document the API return values and allows better implicit conversion of numbers to strings, since integer numbers will convert to strings without a decimal point. Such a conversion actually broke the vault_catalog.lua test initially in the conversion to Lua 5.4.
Hence I've modified our lua API code to push integer numbers when appropriate. This is the vast majority of use cases are integer values, with very few things in the API actually use floats. In a few cases, the API can only generate integer values, but the context (e.g. the relevant API name) strongly implies a floating point value, so I've retained use of number.
A future commit should change all the doxygen comments to indicate when a return value is integer. Some additional future work could simplify the many checks that a number value is in fact an integer.

Fix player orbs often preventing blocks from working (WizardIke)
An orb the player had equipped would be returned by you.shield(), despite not being a shield. This had the indirect effect of preventing the player from blocking many things, due to the block limit of an orb being 0. (Whereas not having any 'shield' at all gives a block limit of 1). This meant that, no matter how many other sources of SH the player might have, such as amulets of reflection, Qazlal, or mutations, they would be unable to block. Even Divine Shield didn't work on spell projectiles (though, by coincidental differences in codepath, it did work on melee and ranged attacks).
Now player::shield() can only return actual shields (amusingly enough, monster::shield() did already work properly). actor::offhand_item() is added for the few cases where we just want to know if some non-weapon is taking up that slot, whether a shield or not.

Fix "input" messages from client being reordered
All the messages that the webtiles client sends back to the server should arrive in the order they were send. However, due to the way in which we were converting messages of type "input" into console input, it could be reordered with respect to other messages. Commit fc0747a made it common for "input" messages to be reordered before other messages that give keycodes instead of being extremely rare making this reordering problem very noticeable. To fix this, add a new "text_input" message type which doesn't suffer from reordering and use it instead (the old "input" messages type needs to remain unchanged so that servers can still run old versions of the game).

Remove some oddly well-commented dead code
This statement was seemingly never live in trunk, and doesn't seem relevant for how golem currently operates. It already can act immediately on the turn you move towards it, regardless of this.
Perhaps this is a remnant of an older version of it that never made it to trunk at all?

Fix a couple tiny tesseract bugs
Due to function ordering, only one of the two tesseracts was actually being woken up when they activated (the only effect this had was on stabability, if that one somehow remained unalerted long enough to walk up to it).
Also, fix the second tesseract still not disappearing from monster memory when the first was killed.

Make lua you.contaminated() return something more useful
It is renamed you.contamination() and returns the player's current contamination percentage. (Instead of merely whether this was above 0%)

Improve the UI regarding contamination explosion damage (Odds)
The % screen now indicates the maximum damage the player could take from their current level of contamination, if it were to explode. They are also prevented from resting if this explosion is capable of killing them.
This number is also exposed to lua via you.max_contam_damage() (mostly so that the Contam status tooltip can also list this number). A very minor bug with how the tooltips are refreshed means that if the player gains an XL without any status changes, the tooltip may very slightly underestimate the max damage (but % will still be accurate).

Worthy of note:

* muffindrake_necropolis_ghost_three_little_ghosts has had its terrain shuffles fixed to no longer require as much digging charges to access.
* Orc special rooms in V now match the threat level of Elf's, to match how the orc warlord bands in V no longer use nearly as much low-tier orc chaff as previously.
* wad_dig_loot uses a cacodemon in Elf alongside a demonologist, since the elementalist placed in there can no longer dig itself out.

Fix sometimes getting incorect monster leaves view messages
If a monster enters view and then isn't in view at the start of the player's next turn, we print a message so that the player isn't confused about things like auto explore being interrupted with no monster in view etc. However, because we printed the messages about monster's leaving view before decaying clouds, a monster could move behind enough fog clouds to be out of view and then we would print the message and then the fog clouds would decay putting the monster back in view. This would leave the player with a confusing message about a monster leaving view when all the monster's were still in view.

Fix resizing the console in webtiles
When playing webtiles on a console, the game has to wait for input from the console as well as from the websocket connection (to handle tiles spectators joining). We were doing this by using `select` on stdin and the websocket, however, we wouldn't stop waiting when a window resize signal was triggered. To fix this, use `pselect` and handle the `EINTR` result it returns to stop waiting and handle resize signals when they arrive.

feat: show failure rates of abilities in chardump (#4821)
Shows failure rates of abilities in the chardump `a:` list, e.g. `a: Oozemancy (3%), Slimify (12%)`, similar to the passive effects list in format.
There were a couple of times that either me or my friends wanted to know the failure rates of abilities without having to start the game. I'm not sure if it's intuitive enough so that most people won't mistake it for success rate, or something else. Maybe showing a table like the spell library can be better?

Fix monster ranged attacks not producing ME_WHACK events
It turns out that monster ranged attacks didn't wake monsters because of actually hitting them; no events were fired for doing this at all. They woke monsters because they happened to also produce noise at the target cell. (This is why Dith shadow shot was failing to off-screen monsters that it was buggily shooting - their actions are always silent.)
But there are other consequences to using only ME_ALERT events from noise: monster ranged attacks could not break fear or daze on other monsters, and they were probably also incapable of distracting them.
Now monster ranged attacks should alert their targets in more or less the same way that monster melee attacks do.
This fixes #4503 (along with the previous commit) 

6eb045a156 | 2025-11-29 02:06:24 -0330 | DracoOmega
Fix Dithmenos shadow archer mimic rarely being able to shoot out of LoS
This generally required that the player trigger the mimic by a shot that killed their primary target, and with an out-of-los enemy directly in the path of a ray fired at the now-dead target, while the shadow was not yet visible on the field. (Most other methods of getting the shadow to pick a random target did respect your LoS, but this method of determining the 'primary shot direction' could be fooled.
This fixes part of #4503

Wake monsters on attack, even if the attacker is now dead (Ge0FF)
As an example, if a walking alembic hit a sleeping monster as the final hit of their potion countdown and immediately died, the monster they hit would not wake up or otherwise notice the damage they'd just taken.
This is not the only way an attacker can die in the process of attacking, and probably it is correct in all cases to actually alert/wake the defender (I hope).

Tweak some more recent monsters
* Bes kemwar, while flatly increasing the previous threat of some early D spawns by banding with them, and while also trying to be monsters tutorializing their new gimmick more than anything else, could also do with being more notable as threats in-and-of themselves rather than solely serving as support. As such, they've gotten a higher cast rate as well as slightly higher stats- still somewhat reserved as an early D monster, but enough for their debuff to mean more than just resting it off if they get unlucky with their bands.
* Cognitogaunts and screaming refractions, while both reasonably mechanically distinct Abyss monsters, are both somewhat rare in Abyss and not super dangerous compared to the most dangerous Abyss spawns. (The formers' Crypt appearances cutting from more harmless undead doesn't also entirely override how they're a bit behind the curve there.) I'm reluctant to flatly increase Abyss's overall threat level considering a lot of it is baked into the overall branch structure, so I'm just tweaking both of their spell rates up.
* Death knights having turned out to be stand-out threats in V since they got their new stats and spells in 76c8eab feels fine to me, as their rare appearances also provide more notable encounters in V's inherently-pressured lengthy floors, though I'd also prefer not to push the threat level of V by too much. As a result, I've shifted their scaling to be even less common on the first few floors of V (but only mildly less common overall), resembling other top-tier V threats like peacekeeper bands and sphinx bands. This comes with a very mild reduction in glowing orange brain weight to compensate, which already appear in enough branches as is.

End constriction immediately when a felid dies (Oneirical)
This was mostly a visual glitch, since it wouldn't actually do any damage and would end on its own the following turn (though could still prevent you from moving for a single action - something more relevant if felids didn't tend to revive in safety).

Make orbs of winter a little better against necromancers (Acrobat)
While orbs of winter seem to be providing a roughly suitable threat against players in general, concern has been expressed about how little they can do against anyone who can surround them with zombies or other undead. Their flash freeze isn't penetrating, refrigeration does very little to the zombies due to a combination of their cold resistance and the huddling bonus (while the player is also benefitting from) and Ostracism can't reach past things. It is fine for builds to be better or worse against given monsters, but it seems reasonable that they are *too* weak to this particular strategy.
So, in hopes to hit this most directly, without overly buffing them against other people, I am: -Reducing the huddle bonus that the player themselves benefits from. Instead of taking 100/70/40% damage, the player now takes 100/85/70% damage. This hopefully makes allies still a relevant and useful bonus, but not in a way that can trivilize this. -Ostracism is now smite-targeted range 3 (but inflicts less ostracism per cast). This is a minor buff for players already fighting them in melee, while a nerf for those hiding behind other things.

Tweak new mutation icons and description
This adds new tiles for Meek and Spatial Entanglement, and fixes another typo in the description for the latter.
Tile credits: * Meek: CanofWorm's Weapon Gift invocation icon * Spatial Entanglement: Roctavian's Portal Projectile icon, a CC0 ribbon by Shade, and a CC0 gun by SnoopethDuckDuck.

Nerf protean grace
With the removal of berserkitis in 143df15, the dual reworks of inability to drink and read terminating in 1ae03d7 and c8003b0, and the nerf of teleportitis in 18b0d3c, the ceiling of bad mutations has been lowered a fair bit. When combined with the reduced permanent malmutation across the game under the current strategic damage schema, as well as more good mutations just this version like Lucky (e722901), the expected value of potions of mutation has risen by a lot. I had added the Protean Grace mutation in a229ff6 as a valuable high-roll before such bad mutation reworks, but the numbers in practice can easily go quite high, and both mutation gods are far from weak at the moment, so I'd prefer to nudge this mutation back down.
Previously, the mutation had a soft cap of 7, where it'd halve the scaling of mutations to Slaying and EV to every other mutation. Now, it applies this halving at all times, and also rounds up by default: just having one or two mutations provides +1/+1, three or four provides +2/+2, and so on upwards. This should both be a little less kludgy with the absence of an exact cap, and still get some benefit from having good and bad mutations alike, but still avoiding the extremely high benefits for temporary whiles under Xom and Jiyva. It's a bit of a shame of a nerf, but potion of mutation gambling has become quite rewarding currently, and it's better than cutting out more possibilities entirely.

Fix webbed players sometimes getted netted instead (TheMagicFish)
Since we were applying 'damage' to your ATTR_HELD from stuggling against it *before* removing the held status, if the damage done to the net exactly erased its remaining HP, you would appear not to be held by anything at all by the time stop_being_caught() was checking if you were in a net. And since you were not in a net, it would not clean up the prop that indicated you were in a net, causing the next time you were webbed actually net you instead.
It was even possible to obtain a net this way by blinking out again!

As near as I can tell, S_NORMAL (used for some monster shouts) conflicts with... *something* SDL/OpenGL-related and 03cf731 very incidentally resulted in an include path where glwrapper-ogl.cc now transitively includes mon-enum.h, which tries to redefine this and fails.
It looked like this problem may have been run into before, and 'fixed' by 7376cb9 undefining S_NORMAL, but I have opted to just rename the enum instead. (It's barely used anyway.)

Similarly to how we allow them for monster shouts and monster speech, but much simpler. It currently only substitutes @RANDGEN@ with a name randomly generated by make_name()
Accordingly, the minor hack substituting RANDGEN with a name randomly generated by make_name(), and only for steelspirits, has been removed and replaced with this method.

Simplify and fix how colours are applied to features
We had multiple ways of applying colours to grid features. The first way was to update the floor and rock wall flavours of the square when changing the grid colour of the square. This only works for floor and rock wall features but we want the grid colour to affect other features such as stone walls. This brings us to the second way used, which was to use take into account the grid colour of a feature in `apply_variations` and change its tile accordingly. However, we only did this for a hardcoded list of tiles which was very hard to tell if it included all tiles that weren't handled in another way. Neither of these ways handled animated colours (although the second way could with a small modification), instead, animated colours were handled when picking the tile for a feature but only for a hardcoded list of grid features. This was also done before adding the tile to our tile cache and as the cache doesn't usualy get invalidated for out of view tiles this resulted in the colours of out of view tiles not usually animating. It also happens before we change the tiles used by features based on the branch and we need to apply the colour after this which resulted in very hacky code to handle this.
Instead, expand the code in `apply_variations` to handle animated colours and always try to apply the colour to the tile instead of only if the tile is on a hardcoded list.

Move clockroaches out of two sewers, add a new clockroach sewer
The clockroach distribution adjustments in d75a07f resulted in two seperate Sewer layouts with very long moats for clockroaches to hide behind, in `sewer_fruit_machine` and `sewer_frog_island_01`. In the abstract, I think shorter clockroach deep water moats would be fine- we've got plenty of liquid abuse emphasized in early portals as is, and there's countless ways to cross such. (Their use of Sandblast also makes their damage quite unimpressive versus those wearing anything heavier than ring mail.) In practice, the potentially extremely early nature of Sewers makes it unfortunately too inconsistent to have much access to much, and the extra long moats further worsen this (making it hard to retreat, making it difficult to gauge one's chances to survive, and encouraging waiting very long times to try and have them wander away).
As such, I have removed clockroaches from both of these sewer layouts, with mild compensatory buffs to both of them as previously-underperforming sewers. I have also made a new Sewer layout reliably forefronting this gimmick with a fair bit more caution (using a much shorter moat with some minimal reliable cover, limits on clockroach firing counts, and narrow space for them to roam) and some distinct flavour (with kobolds having a semi-magical insect collection as earlygame has incidentally picked up). This should serve as a far better test for how reasonable the gimmick is, and can be trivially swapped out in the future for other ranged enemies if these restrictions make the gimmick still too much.

Remove some broken logic regarding monsters picking up launchers (Acrobat)
Monsters that had damage-dealing spells were supposed to not bother picking up ranged weapons. This was ancient behavior that ended up broken by 7ec163d (due to the new function using an && instead of an & in one place...)
However, on reflection, perhaps there is not a sufficiently compelling reason that conjurer monsters *not* pick up launchers. The original idea (I presume) was to avoid needless overlap between their spells and another means of firing damaging projectiles, but we don't stop conjurers from picking up *wands* and those are even more similar. A handful of monsters with direct damage spells already can even spawn *with* launchers (eg: kobold blastminers, deep elf knights), so in the rare chance this happens, it seems probably fine?
So I am simply removing all logic related to this rather than do a more exhaustive cleanup of what spells do damage or not. If in future we want to limit this a bit moreso, there are other ways.

Fix some friendly-fire warnings (Odds)
When af31bf4 refactored code for tracers hitting the player, it incidentally relied more on the beam's own attitude while ignoring the agent. However, we don't actually set beam attitude correctly in many places, so certain spells (including Fire Storm and Freezing Cloud) treated the player as a hostile target and didn't warn for aiming at yourself.
A more correct solution overall would be to review uses of beam attitude and generally have beams determine their attitude automatically from their agent. But in the meantime, this should fix the immediate bug.

Fix the tiles for webs sometimes fail to connect
Webs are meant to connect to adjacent webs and solid features. So as not to leak information that a console player wouldn't know, they can only be shown connected to other tiles that you have seen or magic mapped. This means that when a tile first comes into view we need to redraw the webs around it as they might now connect to it. However, because we were caching the tile for webs after applying the web connectivity checks and the tile cache for a square isn't invalidated when a neighboring square is seen, we sometimes wouldn't redraw. To fix this move applying the connectivity checks to after we retrieve the tile from the cache.

So as not to leak information that a console player wouldn't know, they can only be shown connected to other tiles that you have seen or magic mapped. This means that when a tile first comes into view we need to redraw the webs around it as they might now connect to it. However, because we were caching the tile for webs after applying the web connectivity checks and the tile cache for a square isn't invalidated when a neighboring square is seen, we sometimes wouldn't redraw. To fix this move applying the connectivity checks to after we retrieve the tile from the cache.

Apply branch tile overrides before caching tiles
We were storing tiles in the tile cache without branch overrides and then applying the overrides every time we accessed the cache. However, it's fine to apply the overrides to the tiles before storing them in the cache as we invalidate the whole tile cache when changing levels.

Remove some broken logic regarding monsters picking up launchers (Acrobat)
Monsters that had damage-dealing spells were supposed to not bother picking up ranged weapons. This was ancient behavior that ended up broken by 7ec163d (due to the new function using an && instead of an & in one place...)
However, on reflection, perhaps there is not a sufficiently compelling reason that conjurer monsters *not* pick up launchers. The original idea (I presume) was to avoid needless overlap between their spells and another means of firing damaging projectiles, but we don't stop conjurers from picking up *wands* and those are even more similar. A handful of monsters with direct damage spells already can even spawn *with* launchers (eg: kobold blastminers, deep elf knights), so in the rare chance this happens, it seems probably fine?
So I am simply removing all logic related to this rather than do a more exhaustive cleanup of what spells do damage or not. If in future we want to limit this a bit moreso, there are other ways.

Fix some friendly-fire warnings (Odds)
When af31bf4 refactored code for tracers hitting the player, it incidentally relied more on the beam's own attitude while ignoring the agent. However, we don't actually set beam attitude correctly in many places, so certain spells (including Fire Storm and Freezing Cloud) treated the player as a hostile target and didn't warn for aiming at yourself.
A more correct solution overall would be to review uses of beam attitude and generally have beams determine their attitude automatically from their agent. But in the meantime, this should fix the immediate bug.

Rewrite move_player_action and general rampage movement handling
The way rampage movement was implemented was somewhat brittle and resulted in a handful of inconsistencies (that have become even more obvious now that players can stack rampage to move multiple tiles at once). Internally, it performed an 'instant' movement directly to the second-last tile of the full rampage, then attempted to do a single normal movement in that same direction. This resulted in a number of issues: -Rampaging would skip over traps on any but the final two tiles (unless you were attacking a monster, in which case it would skip over all traps except the final one) -The time spent moving when crossing slow terrain would depend very idiosyncratically on what *order* the terrain was encountered in. -Whether you would whirlwind a monster you appeared to pass alongside varied based on precisely how distant you were from them - if you 'jumped' too far, you would not attack them at all, despite arriving beside them. -If the initial movement displaced the player somehow (such as a dispersal trap), the second movement would still automatically procede from the player's new location; it was possible to perform dangerous attacks without a prompt this way, or accidentally open runed doors (or even move at instant speed movement if you happened to bump into a neutral monster). -Rampage would jump 'over' invisible monsters, unless they were at the player's destination, in which case the player would take only a single step and stop (no matter how far away the invisible monster was).
On top of all this, there were checks needed in many places to make sure the movement actually took time if the player was interrupted before the 'normal' movement could happen.
move_player_action() (with which it was deeply entwined) is also very old code that has had so many additions and removals over the decades that the resulting logic was needlessly difficult to follow (and contained a lot of highly dubious statements like resetting local variables immediately before exiting...)
This commit is an attempt to clean up both, rewriting move_player_action() to be clearer, while making rampaging more of a first-class citizen within it. Rampaging now actually performs an arbitrary number of individual steps in sequence (rather than one instant jump and one normal move). Anything that would stop the player's ability to move in the middle will cancel the rest of the sequence (including arriving somewhere unexpected). The movement cost of the rampage is calculated as the *average* movement cost of all steps along the movement path, and it now only triggers barbs and sticky flame shake-off a single time (instead of often precisely twice, no matter the distance travelled).
In addition, this fixes several other issues with move_player_action(): -Fungus form was permitted to move in sight of enemies, so long as this was done by swapping with something. -Winding a clockwork bee took no time (!) -Shallow water could be entered at normal speed, but *exiting* it was slow (Possibly unknowingly changed by d469af4, whose reasons for reordering the relevant no longer apply to the current version of pursuit attacks) -Martial attacks did not reset the player's berserk non-attack penalty properly (merely pausing it temporarily).
Finally, this makes it possible to perform martial attacks while digging. This interaction was probably deliberate, but very obscure and doesn't feel like an exception worth preserving; if dig-lunge-stabbing really is too strong, we can always make the noise digging already does alert adjacent things first.

Fix can_pass_through() for wall-walking monsters (Sergey)
can_pass_through() returned false for anything *but* walls for wall-walkers, resulting in a handful of incorrect behaviors, which included at least: -Wall-walkers were unable to swap with other monsters on open ground -They could not be pulled by harpoon shot -Transference would fail on them
There were fewer consequences for this than one might expect, as monster_habitable_grid() and similar functions controlled most of this sort of thing. (In fact, there are already comments that the difference between the two ought to be refactored in future....)

Some banishment + Doom Xom adjustments (adelrune)
* After the large refactoring of 6874458, one of the enum entries in the vector list of Xom's potential actions was filled with a function instead: xom_maybe_reverts_banishment. Due to being assembled as an enum at the start of loading up Crawl, this meant that Xom lost the capability to banish players entirely unless they started the game at the valid true banishment XL (>=6 with wrath, >=9 without). This should fix this up to re-enable Xom-sourced banishment for Xom worshippers (at an even rarer chance than previously), with slightly more likeliness of seeing pseudo-banishment as chance compensation. (There are some dev concerns of those XLs being spoilery magic numbers, but nobody ever needs to fully understand Xom in many other aspects, scaling Xom's threat level versus one's XL in other ways has succeeded heavily in making them more fun and popular in de-emphasizing unavoidable deaths, and pacifist Xom runs to avoid gaining XP are decidedly impractical anyway).
* Through the simplest solution of duplicating an entry and giving it some long documentation for such, Xom is now slightly more likely to apply Doom to the undead even more than they otherwise are for missing both drain and mutation effects. While there are further reworks to Xom still planned that should completely remove Xomscumming concerns entirely, this still seems fine for now both in terms of letting undead Xom worshippers see a reasonably-varied strategic damage system and in terms of mostly threatening scumming strategies (since the Xom Doom effect can't directly give banes without reaching boredom or wrath).
(While I'm here, I've also renamed the debug-side "bad mutations" effect to the more accurate "random mutations", to help those reading the wizmode Xom debug output. It's a little inaccurate- there's a bad mutation guaranteed only if one's in wrath- but it should be less confusing than implying Xom's raw bad mutation rate is that particularly high.)

Fix looking up rock walls in Pandemonium
Searching for "rock" in the feature lookup menu while in Pandemonium would show a list of features with one of them being "A wall of the weird stuff which makes up Pandemonium" and no entry for rock walls. The tile for this entry was missing and going into the entry would show a description box that was blank apart from a single off centered full stop.
As the rest of the feature search is independent of the branch you are in (e.g. search for doors in crypt shows generic door tiles not crypt ones) I think it's best to show the normal description for rock walls while in Pandemonium.

Micro vault review
Most notably, this clears up two bug reports from cool 3 / tekkud: player-facing debug statements were left after bugfixing Trove books in a086fab, and depth-scaling for ebering_necropolis_ghost_xom has been using absdepth instead of dgn.persist.necropolis_difficulty() as far back as the original Necropolis transfer in 72caabb.

Four vaults: a Nemelex gimmick overflow and a Qazlal decorative overflow to try and raise the average of the god-specific overflow altars up, another Shoals decor vault since I'd like to have that branch get a decor arrangement next to vary up Shoals:4 serial-rune-vault floors, and another Abyss entrance vault to try and deal with a previous count of 9 being too low for something that appear multiple times in each game.

Move fire bats out of Depths lava and into D lava
Fire bats are essentially doing absolutely nothing in Depths in any real threat capacity, aside from providing variety in a harmless-monster fashion we've moved quite far away from over the past decade's worth of branch updates. The weight of their cutting from Depths is given to the other harmless Depths lava monster choices, fire elementals and molten gargoyles, which also are unlikely to do much at the depth but which provide some less-comically-weak variety versus the full Snake salamander selection Depths uses.
Meanwhile, in a place that could always use more variety, I'm putting a very tiny amount of fire bats to spawn in D:7-15, in the same depth as when lava snakes start spawning and two floors past when the somewhat comparable ice beast spawns (which have better AC and HP + rPois, but worse speed). A fiery monster has been conspicuously missing from D for a long while (outside of crimson imps, cut in 60f854e), and these can easily fulfill such in the branch where we already prominently use bats at a time where their statlines can actually be meaningfully relevant. It does lower the novelty of Volcanoes very slightly, but those have more than enough monster set options that I'm not nearly as concerned about those as I've been with the earliest portals.

Fix crash when Blork dies as a vengeance target
When worshipping Beogh and Blorkula kills one of your orcs, he will be marked as a vengeance target. If you then beat him up and he turned into bats, it would count as you killing the last vengeance target and end your vengeance. When he then reformed (including reforming dead when you killed his last bat) he would still count as a vengeance target which would result in a crash when he died as you weren't under vengeance. Instead, transfer the vengeance to the bats when he splits and then back to him when he reforms.

Fix felids receiving attacks while dead
Unlike monster's that count as dead while pending revival, the player counted as alive. This caused them to to receive attacks while dead, which usually didn't matter as most of the effects from the attacks were cleaned up when reviving. However, not all effects are cleared on reviving and you do end up with messages in the message log that don't make a log of sense for a dead character. Instead, count felids that are pending revival as dead and fix up any of the checks that should still affect them (or a monster) when pending revival.

art: Make exclusions more readable
As someone that is partially colorblind, exclusions were very difficult for me to read when placed over certain tiles. Shoals was the biggest culprit since the exclusions are hard to make out on top of sand and shallow/deep sea water tiles. Exclusions were also very difficult to see when placed over lava tiles. To address this, exclusions were given a transparent black outline and a central white gradient.
Exclusion tiles connected with each other in a way that made it difficult to see where the center of a tile was, since the corners had the same crisscross pattern as the centers. I've seperated the corners so they are no longer connected. It's possible this might be more of an issue with the background tiles not having clear edges in some cases but this at least makes excluded zones easier to quickly evaluate.
[Committer's notes: I've tweaked the tiles in rypofalem's PR a bit to try to help them stand out more in areas with red backgrounds like Volcano, and edited the above commit message accordingly. If anyone reading this has further suggestions or graphical tweaks to help colourblind folks, they're always welcome.

Search for/display created items w/DESC_DBNAME.
Using DESC_PLAIN adds articles, quantities, and enchantments to the names, which won't produce accurate results for names including them. (For example, putting in "+6 ring of slaying" at the "What type of jewellery?" prompt in wizard mode's &o= prompt will silently produce a +6 ring of strength.)
Also, looking up an item via a partial name creates and displays the name of a dummy item with all of the matching item's major qualities (including its plus) set to zero, which is inaccurate for items that have their own non-zero default plus (e.g. rings of slaying). We can't display the proper default plus at that point because the real item hasn't been created yet.
Use DESC_DBNAME instead, which doesn't have articles, quantities, or enchantments. You'll still have to pick up a ring of slaying created via &o= and "slay" to see what its default plus is, but at least the dummy item created and displayed beforehand will no longer display an inaccurate plus of zero.

This could help locate the caster after teleporting away or otherwise moving out of sight (although if playing tiles you had to reload the game to get out of view clouds to update their phase due to a bug). Instead, only update the phase of polar vortex clouds you can see, so you only gain information from in view clouds.

Fix warning about redefining integer limits in MSVC
We were checking if the c language version was at least c99 otherwise we were defining our own integer limits. However, we were doing this in a c++ file and MSVC doesn't define a c version when compiling c++. We can't use a c++ version check either as MSVC always defined its c++ version as before c++11. Instead skip defining these limits if the c version is high enough or if compiling with MSVC.

feat: Rampage stacking
Here we let most sources of rampage stack up to 3, with the appropriate handling for the overlay UI and Armataur rollpage regen. Stabs are enabled(!) for stacked rampage under the reasoning that players still have to find and equip multiple sources of rampage to benefit from this, which is far from guaranteed in any given game.
Should multi-tile sleep stabbing prove too powerful we can revisit the chance to wake as a function of distance travelled in the future, but for now I'm fully enabling stacked rampage stab behavior.
Seven-league boots still have the special-cased no-sleep-stab behavior for now, as they get all of their rampage from one slot.
Enjoy folks!

Tweak some monster elemental spell text
* "Fire Summon" is an awful name for a top-tier spell cast by two seperate demon lords guarding runes of Zot- it's about as bad as if Dispater had a unique spell called "Earth Conjuration". In anticipation of other possible high-level elemental group summons for randlords in the future, I am renaming the spell to "Hellfire Court"- a precedent set up by Hellfire Mortar as well as a nod to long-past older names for 2/3 of the summons' attacks. It also now actually has a cast message, instead of just "Cerebov gestures." (Really, most summon spells could probably do with such?)
* Beckoning Gale's damage number on monster displays is now light gray instead of dark gray, matching the colouration of Airstrike.

Let wizmode make food caches (Monkooky)
The internal vaultname for food caches didn't use underscores like other features do (e.g. altars, fountains), which made &( unable to make any of them (as it'd fill in spaces with underscores). Since this was already an inconsistent approach between feature names, I've changed those internal vaultnames for fruit, meat, and baked caches to use underscores, which requires far less effort than it looks to produce such consistency and let wizmode access them both.

Remove berserkitis (DracoOmega)
The majority of other bad mutations are substantially less lethal than constantly having to monitor one's combat actions later on to avoid situations where the slim chance of going Berserk also disabling consumables, invocations, and spells can directly result in one's death. (It also can be very lethal when received mid-combat without noticing it, which makes it fairly awkward to always make an option for malmutators.) As a downside, it strongly encourages tedious luring far more directly than the generalized maluses of other mutation or equipment penalties, since there's far less need to escape when berserk provides net direct help with one-on-one combats. As a mechanic, the mutation directly overlaps with how randarts already have *Rage as a direct re-use, which somewhat function with a much higher chance to happen there as one thus opts into.
Berserkitis may have been kept for a long time for legacy reasons, but as both the spree of good mutations over the past few versions and the new elemental orb monsters demonstrate for strategic damage, there's enough design space still left in downsides we can reasonably come up with more for the sake of mutation variety. (We could even plausibly have more mutations that specifically worsen melee combat enough to get the one positive component of berserkitis, in making characters rely more on Throwing and Evocations when particularly endangered).
Outside of that one positive bit, however, berserkitis as a mutation is inherently troubled enough that multiple devs would prefer to cut it entirely and work on new bad mutations instead. Such work, alongside more review for the other large outliers of dangerous mutations, is slated to be done relative soon this version.

Fix walking into map border with primordial nightfall
Walking into unpassible terrain with a vision radius of zero is supposed to magic map the terrain. However, there was a seperate code path for walking into the map border that didn't do this. Unify both these code paths so that they both call the same function. This has the side effect of giving messages when trying to walk into endless lava/sea as the old code for handling non-border squares had these messages.

Don't leash dead monsters (Wolpertinger)
If a summoned monster fell down a shaft, catching up its enchantments upon placing it on its new floor would likely cause its summon timer to run out and immediately die (which made trying to leash it assert).
Possibly we shouldn't be trying to transit summoned monsters that way in the first place, but I could imagine other ways that a monster might be dead by the time leashing sees it, so this is good policy anyway.

Fix deeply broken behavior with monster leashing and improve (Acrobat)
The monster leashing behavior added by 5afa24a was broken in several ways, the most notable of which was that we were *never unmarshalling* a monster's origin level and simultaneously never resetting a monster object's origin level when it died. In combination, this meant that a monster's origin floor was treated as the floor of the last monster that was generated with that mindex()! Due to branch pre-generation not following the same order that the player will enter those branches, this frequently resulted in monsters on the current floor believing their home was somewhere very far away. (eg: if you enter Swamp before Snake, the monsters in Snake when you later go there will commonly think their home is deep in Swamp, and leave to return there when you take even a single stair with them)
In addition, the function used to calculate the distance between levels was using functions intended for interlevel travel and relied on the player's knowledge of stairs and would consider branches the player didn't know the path to *before* taking a stair to be infinitely distant, resulting in monsters immediately leashing. I am not sure if it is currently possible to trigger this outside of wizmode, but it's trivial to do it unintentionally there (and a few proposed future effects could result in it happening in real games). The distance is now calculated independent of player knowledge, and purely based on dungeon structure.
Also, the previous behavior regarding monsters from portals is that they would never leash anywhere, which feels inconsistent (ie: if you pull an orc out of a Bailey, or anything out of the Abyss, they will follow you forever). Now, when monsters whose origin floor is from a portal branch arrive on a connected branch, they will change their origin floor to that (so that, eg: whatever floor you exit the Abyss onto is where monsters that came with you will leash.)
Finally, don't print a message about a monster retreating if you cannot see it.

Refactor weapon handedness description (projectNoob)
Don't claim that weapons are both two-handed and too large to wield, and don't print handedness messages for felids since they cannot wield weapons at all.
Closes #4188.

Dismiss monsters that are lured too far.
Experimental change. Store the origin level of each monster in its structure, and track how far away from the origin we are on transit to a new floor. If the monster is 3 or more floors away after transit, it goes away forever, yielding no items or exp. This only applies to hostile monsters in connected branches, and is turned off for the orbrun.
This is a thing that shouldn't be noticeable for most players. It prevents the sort of degenerate exploits that happened with eg. silent spectres, without having to either tag every monster with an exploitable mechanic to not use stairs or to avoid using those mechanics altogether. So now making an earlygame digging monster, or monsters with double-edged auras or other symmetrical mechanics should be possible.
Send lured monsters home instead of dismissing
Probably works better, and makes more sense. Suggested independently by DracoOmega and np7.
Messaging cleanup and distance rework
Use a greater distance for monsters that get shafted or otherwise non-stair transited, so that shafts can work properly. Remove test messages and add proper messaging for monsters returning home.
[Committer's notes: This branch was getting pretty stale and had some merge conflicts, so I've resolved those, squashed it, and I'm just slamming it. If there are any remaining issues, we'll take care of them in trunk.
Resolves #4659.]

Refactor abilities to be less confused (gammafunk)
Here we simplify some params out of various ability calls, and refactor several clua api ability binds to provide a single, consistent point of access for players to get info on whether an ability is usable: `you.ability_info()`.
This bind returns a nested table containing all of the abilities that the player has, whether they can currently be used, and their keybinds. You can pass a single ability name into this bind to get the same info about that ability.
Regarding the confusion bool removed from the C++ side of this commit: Previously, we were manually hacking all abilities that didn't have `conf_ok` to return ABIL_NON_ABILITY whenever the player was confused.
This was super weird and dated back to ancient times -- we have a separate confusion check that's run when abilities are actually activated, and as near as I can tell we didn't seem to actually need the ability hack anymore. I've moved the confusion check above the berserk checks there to preserve the prior logic ordering.

Add a clua bind: you.ability_available() (CarefulOdds)
Here we let players check whether an ability is currently available using clua. Some abilities currently report as "available" here while not necessarily being targetable; `_check_ability_possible` does not have accurate prerequisite checks for every ability.
(One broken example I hit in testing this was Line Pass: The game happily considers Line Pass possible to use without an adjacent target.)
However, I'm going to treat anything missing from `check_ability_possible` as separate bugs, as this codepath is what we use internally for the ability menu, and so any missing hitfuncs etc. there should really be fixed independently of this commit.

Further catch-up vault review
Worthy of note:
* A decent amount more vaults with zero or minimal threats have been tagged "extra" or "extra_post_overflow" in the wake of the previous commit, to try and make Depths contain a fair bit more monster minivaults. This doesn't raise the odds of a monster minivault on Depths:1 to a full 100%- decorative serial vaults can make it fail on occasion, mostly- but alongside fulfilling more of the vault-based branch identity, it should make the use of "extra" be more consistent across our many, many vaults.
* due_megacathedral's Lua would allow for up to hundreds of bats well past their danger level points to spawn inside the vault if moving through the floor enough times, which was both broken and not any particularly interesting. (It also contained some baffling unsuccessful attempts at randomization warped by previously having secret doors). I have significantly revised the vault to place with several different configurations mostly earlier than previously (so the bats actually mean much at all), with decorative stained glass instead of one-off lua messages about bats swooping out of wall crevices, which also sidesteps the need for a separate file or nonfunctional Lua.
* Since death scarabs only place naturally in Spider and Tomb, I have made mon-place look for avoiding the former instead of looking for the latter, which should make hellmonk_scarab_ruin function again.
* As further follow-up to 717b963, the large vaults without monsters that could using up the primary slot in Depths no longer can spawn in the floors guaranteeing vaults (Depths:2-4). My preferred solution for this would be a Lua function to have it deliberately place monster minivaults when on Depths:2 or Depths:3, but making Depths be more consistent is a key priority for this and previous commits, and they usually still can spawn readily in D.
* guarded_unrand vaults now consistently deploy no_pickup if the vault doesn't put the unrand in a monster's hands, instead of missing from a small but non-zero number of vaults.

Adjust and clean up later overflow altar placement
* As was discovered by DracoOmega, the : interest_check(_G) function in overflow.des added over a decade ago does not actually work, due to how Crawl's initialization of vaults leads to not properly tagging the vault as `extra` as it's placed. Most notably, this interferes with Depths:1's attempt at consistently placing a minivault (in e3cb86a), which hurts the vault-centric identity of Depths and goes against the `extra` tag's intent.
* The deployment of the `uniq_altar_[god]` tag is overzealous with blocking themed altar vaults past late D, as while it avoids multiple vaults to a given god appearing in earlygame, there is enough time past in later branches to already place altar vaults not used in the overflow range (whether large and dangerous, or particularly themed to that branch). In particular, this interferes with ce7c55b's use of various overflow vaults as decoration in V, as well as the occasaional additions of appropriately scaling altar vaults like in 837a7d7.
To address these ends and more, I have added a new `extra_post_overflow` tag that functions as the previous interest_check function intended. Deploying it or not per overflow altar is managed with a new function- standard_overflow_setup(_G)- which also both saves various vault header lines and consistently manages of the four seperate canned tags most overflow altar vaults end up deploying most of the time. (It also applies the previous commit's `buniq` tag, which the map_selector now checks, instead a `uniq` tag.) The additional documentation shouldn't be much lengthier than what overflow.des already did to explain the different tags, and it should hopefully also make matters like extra tagging be handled consistently for the future.
Most notably for players, this should make Depths floor consistently contain more non-decorative minivaults in general, which should help a mild bit with the branch's difficulty otherwise being innately spiky between Depths's high vault and band focus.

Implement a buniq ("branch unique") vault tag
Like the luniq_* tag, but for branch-unique map placement. Maps with this tag will not place if a map with the same tag placed already in the same branch.
[Commiter's notes: This was extracted from PR #4406, as the functionality of such a tag can help deal with other Crawl matters beyond the PR's scope, and the thrust of the PR's rebalancing is easily decoupled from such. I've not done much else here, aside from squashing related commits together and making sure &K works properly, but follow-up commits will make use of this new tag.]

Add and adjust Depths entry and Zot / entry tiles
* To compliment the deployment of floor_depthstone and depths_column tiles in Depths entrances in e431911, as well as the unique crystal wall tiles of Depths used in Depths entrances in 011df5c, I am adding a new set of wall tiles mixing together Sastreii's Depths stone with roctavian's edits of Denzi's default stone. This should help with the transitional aspect of each Depths entry vault, by incorporating visual motifs present in Depths stone walls into the default / D stone wall appearance, while also helping the relatively understated nature of the more common entries stand out a bit compared to the rest of D.
* To both give Zot vaults a little more visual flair and to avoid using Elf's floor_hall in Zot entry vaults, I've also made a new set of floor tiles made from mixing CC0 stone pattern from TextureNinja with the fringes of Denzi's original floor_rough tiles. These diamond patterns, contrasting with the squares and rectangles emphasized in other branch vault floor tiles, are deployed both inside a slice of the Zot vaults both somewhat dangerous and somewhat building-like, as well as in all Depths entrances in place of floor_marble or the aforementioned floor_hall.
* To both help establish more visual continuity across Depths and to add further flair to the end of Depths, most Zot entry vaults now deploy also floor_depthstone (as previously used in Depths entry vaults and Depths encompass vaults) in many places where they would previously use the standard D and Depths floor tiles. (I'm reluctant to use them by default through Depths- they make for weirdly high contrast versus the current old dark and high-detail Depths rock walls- but they do work reasonably fine contrasting against most other rock tiles.)
Further tilework would be a good idea in the future- like unique Zot:1-4 stone Zot entry vaults can borrow instead of just the generic Zot rock with occasional usage of disorientingly-shiny void metal- but this should function for now.

Adjust wall_brick_vines
This tries to add better shadowing, better-matching damaged brick, and a fifth variant to Due's edit of Denzi's brick walls, which should hopefully make the rather prominent tile (in Swamp ruin decor vaults) fit more with the steady tile improvements done to the rest of the game over the decade since the tiles were first made.

Increase the odds of placing Lair decor vaults on Lair:4-5
A delayed follow-up to the work of 663a982, in the vein of f5be29c and d8fb119, somewhat bolstered by the parent commit. This adds a 25% chance to place some of the 80+ decorative vaults on Lair:4-5, brandishing a wide variety of the newer decorative + default tiles and features. (This is less high than either decorative vault explicit placement: this is half due to the sheer volume of Lair vaults making their odds high to begin with, and half due to being somewhat wary of earlygame having particularly excessive amounts of purely decorative vaults. The range is also just past the Lair branch roulette entry vaults, and thus gives a little more flashiness specifically to the less innately-distinct Lair floors.)

Another decor vault batch for Lair and Swamp
Fifteen Lair decor vaults, to be used in the following commit. The majority of vaults in this commit are negative space experiments, of a style akin to 7638400- but with Lair's ruinous appearance it should be less like "weird mystic deliberate building patterns" and more like "collapsed, overgrown caverns". This also comes with another two Swamp ruin vaults, to help vary up the rather restrained pool for swamp_ruins_default.

Fix being able to freeze time on other floors by peeking at them (Darby)
eb2233f344 made it so that peeking at an adjacent floor, and then returning to your current one, would save the *current* turn as the last time the player was on that floor. This meant that if the player peeked immediately before reentering the floor, the game would treat it as if almost no time had passed, no matter how much time had actually passed.
This had a plethora of applications, like being able to freeze portal timers, preserve poison on monsters when looping around to a different staircase, negate all monster HP regen, or ensure that monsters chasing where you last left the floor would have barely moved from their original locations.

Add a cachebusting key to lobby static assets
Adding a version string to all the lobby assets ensures that, if the server rebuilds and there is an update to client scripts, players will definitely get the update when they reload the browser, and not get a locally-cached copy of the file.
This enables use of more aggressive caching strategies, longer cache times, in-memory caching with nginx/Apache, or even pushing static assets over to CDN, if server admins wish to configure thing way, without worrying about the client browser potentially serving stale assets.
It would be even better to either a) keep a separate version number for the lobby client or b) compute a hash key to use for this cachebusting string, so that assets can be reused from cache when they haven't changed (which is usually the case) but given the small size of these assets (compared to e.g. the game client and tiles images) it seems like a lot of work and complexity for a small gain. It's much more important to ensure that players at least don't have a stale client.
(For the styles and the require.js include, static_url at least ensures a stable hash; but for the other scripts loaded by require, I have to pass a key into config, so it can't be computed per asset like these ones.)

Remove 4 of the 5 ladies of the lake
The grunt_lady_of_the_lake vault spawns a merfolk avatar in a lake when the player approaches a sword in the center. If the player left and re-entered the floor beforehand, each tile by the sword would spawn its own merfolk avatar, spawning up to 5 avatars near the player. It seems reasonable to only spawn the Lady of the Lake upon stepping on the sword itself, as the player will generally autotravel there to identify the sword anyway.

refactor cloud_tile_variation
cloud_tile_variation is an enum that determines how a cloud chooses its tile. It has an entry called CTVARY_NONE which is used for clouds with a fixed tile that doesn't vary. However, some clouds with it were special cased to not have a fixed tile, which adds extra complexity over givng them their own enum entries and also makes it harder to determine which clouds are animated.

Let autofight prioritize good stabs
This commit allows autofight attacks when wielding high stab damage weapons to prioritize stab attempts, when available. This targeting prefers tier 1 stabs (sleep/paralysis/petrify) but will attempt to make any available stab. Autofight with stab weapons will now try to move the player closer to the nearest stab target, if one exists and there is no higher priority target that prevents the move.
This will *not* continue to move the player if a different target is adjacent: In my estimation, moving past adjacent monsters seemed likely to cause player deaths to unexpected autofight behavior, so I haven't done that.
The motivation here was that I'd like autofight to be a bit smarter about stab targeting -- previously, it would often ignore perfectly good stabs because the only thing it cared about was whether a tier 1 stab existed, and its prioritization for that was fairly low.
I might want to do further tweaks here: As mentioned, I'd somewhat prefer these positioning choices to be even more aggressive, but I'm hesitant to surprise players with unexpected autofight pathing.
This commit adds a new clua bind to expose more stab info to autofight: `you.has_good_stab()`, which will return true if the player has a short blade equipped (or otherwise has good stabs enabled, as through spiderform etc.)

Don't use env.level_state when drawing tiles
env.level_state is based on the actually level, whereas what we draw is based on what the map remembers of a level. So for example, if a Jiyva worshipper uses oozemancy, moves out of sight of the slime walls, waits for oozemancy to end, and then reloads the game, the LSTATE_SLIMY_WALL flag will not be set on env.level_state but now out of sight slimey walls will still be drawn as thats what the map remembers being there. Luckily we don't actually need to use env.level_state in the drawing code and there isn't any benefit to using it.

ci: Bump android and mingw runs to ubuntu-latest
We need libpng-dev in the ci environment to generate tilesheets; the android run sets up its dependencies in gradle, and the mingw run generates crosscompiled contribs, both of which were no good to use here.
(See also a53296f351 for a previous instance of the crosscompile issue.)
As far as I can tell, these runs in ubuntu-22.04 must have had a libpng available that we now need to explicitly specify in ubuntu-24.04.
I also forgot to update the source packages run to ubuntu-latest in c80b890e59, so here we bump that as well.
After this commit, the only run still on 22.04 is catch2.

Don't restrict telling the player about acidic slime to floors
When examing a floor next to a slime wall, it tells you that it is covered in acidic slime. However, this was restricted to floor squares only as console only shows acidic slime on floors. This was misleading as a shaft for example next to a slime wall would still corrode you when standing on it. It also isn't that uncommon for you not to be able to see that something is effecting a non-floor square in console without examining the square so it should exceptable for that to be the case with slime from walls as well.

Bump most CI to ubuntu-latest, python to 3.13
Here we bump python versions to 3.13 so that we can test webtiles with crypt-r, and we bump as many runners as we can back up to ubuntu-latest.
Webtiles runners now test with python 3.8, 3.11, and 3.13, with older versions using crypt, and 3.13 using crypt-r following 7c3bd3c27620.
We still have some issues with the mingw, catch2, and android runners under ubuntu-latest, so these runs remain using ubuntu-22.04 until we can get those sorted.

Roll back python package requirements
All our CI tests with python 3.8, even for non-WebTiles builds. Hence these updated requirements weren't satisfiable in the github ubuntu linux runner. Python 3.8 is the oldest version WebTiles formally supports, so it does make some sense to work with this version in CI. Since I don't want to require a more current python for CI until we've discussed that, I'm reverting back most of the requirement changes. I'm keeping the `crypt-r` requirement, but conditioned on a python version of at least 3.13.
This partially reverts 13813543c0.

feat: Adjust Body Armour acquirement
Currently body armour acqurement is dominated by robes, ring mails, troll leather, plate and crystal plate. Higher armour skill makes plate and crystal plate more likely, but the chance to get one of those five is about the same even at 27 skill. Additionally scale mail and chain mail are very rare. This version brings several new body armour egos that spawn on scale, chain or plate so it makes sense to make those slightly more likely. Okawaru gifts also tend to leave a bad feeling after being offered a robe or troll leather on your heavy armour using char.
This commit changes the weights of ring, scale, chain, plate and cpa. It also changes the formula for body armour acquirement so low base AC body armours become significantly less likely at higher armour skill. For example: Body size restricted species still had ~27% to acquire robes or TLA at 27 Armour skill. With the new formula at 27 skill that chance is ~2.5%. For normal size species robe + tla + ring mail went from ~23% at 27 with the old formula to ~4% with the new formula.

feat: Adjust Body Armour acquirement
Currently body armour acqurement is dominated by robes, ring mails, troll leather, plate and crystal plate. Higher armour skill makes plate and crystal plate more likely, but the chance to get one of those five is about the same even at 27 skill. Additionally scale mail and chain mail are very rare. This version brings several new body armour egos that spawn on scale, chain or plate so it makes sense to make those slightly more likely. Okawaru gifts also tend to leave a bad feeling after being offered a robe or troll leather on your heavy armour using char.
This commit changes the weights of ring, scale, chain, plate and cpa. It also changes the formula for body armour acquirement so low base AC body armours become significantly less likely at higher armour skill. For example: Body size restricted species still had ~27% to acquire robes or TLA at 27 Armour skill. With the new formula at 27 skill that chance is ~2.5%. For normal size species robe + tla + ring mail went from ~23% at 27 with the old formula to ~4% with the new formula.

Cut down the Shoals (entrance) sun
This edit to white_noise's Shoals entrance tile is mostly meant as a delayed follow-up to 85a6fcb. Whatever degree and excuse of magic permits the Shoals tides of an underground sea to be bordered on all level sides by more sea is still substantially removed from there being magical underground suns on each floor, and I'd rather just focus on what that "underground sea" already implies without inviting comparisons to portals, demon dimensions, or indefinite non-serious arguments about how one could have such underground suns work.
(Ideally, heavier edits to this tile would show the sea being underground in the entrance tile, but the branch in general could do with an art update, so I will leave that to the discretion of whoever picks up such desired adjustments to its entrance / floor / rock walls.)

New vault tile sets + adjacent vault review
This includes:
* Three sparser styles of grass, overlaid over rough stones or ceramic tiles, made from a rejected Swamp floor of roctavian's and crystal tiled floors by Denzi. These are meant to provide less lush grass tile sets for various different tones (e.g. building interiors, overgrown gardens and tighter caves, lava effects, etc) for more overgrown branches (Lair, Swamp, Shoals) with only occasional uses elsewhere.
* A more unique and chaotic rock wall for Gloorx Vloq's realm (replacing a 3-rune-branch's wall tile recolouring for extended branch use) and other vaults meant to invoke the lord, mixing together Denzi's wall_relief and wall_undead with white_noise's recolouring of ontoclasm's Crypt stone walls and Darby's ossuary stone walls.
* A haphazard dark magical "pit" of floor, heavily remixing co's old Lair floor tiles after those were replaced in 011df5c. These are deployed in various magical and antimagic vaults (such as Abyss mage vaults, Snake mana viper vaults, and Spider ghost moth vaults).
* Two more magical wall types- one derived from roctavian's earlier form of V's stone walls and various rpg assets by finalbossblues, experimentally producing shelves with more prominent objects on them compared to the ones in e.g. Bloax vaults_stone_12 and _13 or Darby's vaults-crystal2 and 3, plus one derived from roctavian's rejected stone walls for Lair repurposed to have glowing magic tangled within them. The shelves are a non-book option for various magical humanoids, while the crackling walls provide another magic-looking option besides the somewhat over-used state of crystal.
This also removes two different ancient floor tile options that weren't actually in use, and alters various other vaults as I passed by them while distributing each of these new tiles. Aside from fixing up bazaar_lake's fish population, making a few more branch ends show off more unique tiles, moving another vault from Depths to Vaults, and cleaning up winding_woodlands.des, not too much should be worth noting.

Say if a floor square is covered in slime when examining it
Floor squares near walls in the Slime Pits are covered in acidic slime that corrodes you when on them. However in console, this was only shown by changing their colour and can be hidden by other things that change the colour of a square like silence and halos. There isn't a perfect solution to this, but we can let the player know that the square is covered in acidic slime when they examine it like what we do for silence and halos etc.

Make Slime floors default brown in console (WizardIke)
Previously, the slime walls were causing adjacent acidic floors to be highlighted in lightgreen in console, while the base floor colour being used in Slime was green. These lightgreen highlights were hard to see considering they're both just a bunch of little dots, so here we set the base colour to brown so that players can more easily distinguish which tiles are affected by wall acid.
I don't think this changes the branch aesthetics significantly when played in console -- it'll still have the lightgreen walls and wall-adjacent floors.
Note that these floor colours are set at level generation, so to see the updated colour you'll need to check it in a level that hasn't generated yet.

Let Spike Launcher shoot wall monsters on same tile
It seemed a little unfair the spike trap couldn't hit a monster at literal point blank range, but fair_adjacent_iterator simply doesn't have a way to include the origin.
I did consider *always* hitting the monster if you can lure it right onto the spike trap (and it might look better really) but it'd be such obscure behaviour it seemed unneccessary.

Fix slimy floors tiles not always being correct
They wouldn't show if the slimy wall producing them hadn't ever been seen and they wouldn't disappear from floors in sight when a wall stopped producing then until the wall was next seen. This is inconsistent with how they are shown in console and also inconsistent with the new description you get when examining the floor.

Say if a floor square is covered in slime when examining it
Floor squares near walls in the Slime Pits are covered in acidic slime that corrodes you when on them. However in console, this was only shown by changing their colour and can be hidden by other things that change the colour of a square like silence and halos. There isn't a perfect solution to this, but we can let the player know that the square is covered in acidic slime when they examine it like what we do for silence and halos etc.

Make lua item.equip_type return a string (Aliscans)
Previously, this field returned a number corresponding to the item's internal equipment slot, which wasn't a terribly useful format for end-user scripts. Instead, we now return the lowercase string of the item's equipment slot; e.g. "weapon", "body armour", "gizmo", etc.
Ordinarily I'd be cautious about changing the return signature of an api call like this, but searches for uses of this both internally and in qw turned up nothing, and at least one github user seemed to have no idea this existed (#4686), so I think we're okay just changing this to be more obviously-useful.
If you're a user and this breaks your rcfile (who are you?!?!), you simply need to do a string comparison now.

Fix lua item.name description type by number (Aliscans)
As reported in #4686, lua_isstring was always returning true for numbers here. To quote the Lua 5.1 manual:
"Returns 1 if the value at the given acceptable index is a string or a number (which is always convertible to a string), and 0 otherwise."
Instead we compare with lua_type, which seems to be the intended way to do this (and which we already use in l-debug).
Fixing this may reveal other underlying bugs, as these desc-by-number checks have apparently just always been broken, but I'd rather fix those up as we find them, as we were *trying* to use this in objstat, among other places.

Make invis indicators accurate
Usually, when we show invis indicators we show them where the monster is. However, when a monster turns invisible and then moves in just one player turn, we would show the invis indicator at the square where the monster went invisible (or an adjacent square if there is now a monster in this square). This happened rarely enough that players usually thought that it was a bug. Instead, when showing an invis indicator, we should always show it on the square with the monster.
This also brings some sanity to the `show_update_at` function as it now only affects the location that we told it to affect.

Fix merfolk fish-tail clipping in Quill form (#4804)
Quill form is not a full-body polymorph like Dragon or Fortress Crab; it only alters certain body parts, similar to Hive or Maw. Therefore the tile should preserve the player's original species silhouette. Genies and nagas already have bespoke lower-body tiles for this purpose, but merfolk were left wearing a humanoid "legs" layer on top of their fish tail. Copy the approach used for Hive: when a merfolk is in water (fishtail active) simply crop the bottom of the Quill armour tile so the tail remains the only visible lower extremity. This produces a clean, species-consistent sprite.

Update !Berserk and Berserk status description.
Make the former describe what the berserk status does. It now mentions HP, speed, and damage buffs; action restrictions (everything but move and kill); buff extension (or rather, how it wears off quicker if you don't attack enemies), and -Berserk status.
Make the latter mention that only melee attacks are allowed, and not ranged weapons or thrown projectiles; use "perform" instead of "make"; and mention that you are slowed when it expires.

Add baubles and gems to wizmode &o menu
Previously, this wasn't working because neither of these item types had an item symbol defined that could reasonably be input in-game.
Here we map B and G to baubles and gems for this purpose, allowing this menu to work, and hopefully not creating problems elsewhere.
If this breaks console in unexpected ways, y'all know who to yell at.

feat: Rework Mask of the Dragon
Mask of the Dragon is one of the boring unrands. This changes it to have a chance to summon a dragon when using an Invocation with enemies in LoS.
The chance to summon goes up with the piety cost of the ability used, and the dragons summoned scale with XL.
The Mask's base AC is increased to +2, and it loses Will+ and +3 Slay.
(Okawaru is prevented from gifting it.)
[Committer's notes: Rebased, squashed, minor style tweaks, and edited the resulting commit message.
Big thanks to Lici for doing this design and implementation!

Fix many teleport closets in wad_woods
As reported in #4811, the wad_woods series of vaults was able to drop the player into various teleport closets and islands. It looks to me like this was primarily caused by these vaults having multiple disjoint pockets of space abutting the edge of the vaultdefs: As best as I can tell, level connectivity here was only guaranteeing one path into these vaults in the absence of `@` glyphs, so when they were emplaced, these little pockets on the edges of the vaults could turn into closets if the vaults were placed overlapping something solid.
There were 10 closets and 2 islands (thanks to gammafunk for noticing the islands) here that I've patched; I'm no grand vaultsmythe, so this series of vaults may yet want another pass.
wad_woods_tower (2 closets) wad_woods_01 (1 closet) wad_woods_04 (3 closets) wad_woods_river_01 (split island) wad_woods_river_03 (split island) wad_woods_road_01 (1 closet) wad_woods_minihive (3 closets, including the central hive!)
minihive now has no_tele_into in its central hive, and I've also made some stylistic adjustments to woods_04 and woods_06 with the intent of reducing some of their autoexplore pain points -- it seemed quite unfriendly to force the player to bash their way through quite that many plants and bushes.
Ideally I'd like to make this entire series of vaults more autoexplore friendly, but I'm done poking at this for now. Maybe later!

Bring upstream packages closer to Debian/Ubuntu distributed packages
Hi, I'm the new maintainer for crawl in Debian, and I'd like to sync up the upstream Debian packaging with what's currently released in [Debian sid](https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/crawl). I merged a handful of changes from the upstream packaging into the Debian version (thanks to @robertxgray in particular for the changes to use `install-xdg-data`), and I'd like to contribute back some of the changes I made. The goal here is to reduce the diff as much as I can (outside of debian/changelog) to make it easier for me to package newer versions of crawl in Debian going forwards, and also to reduce the likelihood that the Debian/Ubuntu vs upstream packages diverge enough to cause problems e.g. APT upgrade conflicts, although that's already highly unlikely. Thanks for considering!

Refactor to fix some issues with player::how_mutated()
The most critical of these was that code added by b9f27a8 (11 years ago!) would result in any how_mutated() returning an extremely negative number for any demonspawn with any Ru sacrifice (...because the code to subtract the number of sacrifices was in the mutation iteration loop....)
This resulted in several problems: silver doing no additional damage to them (no matter how mutated), diminishing returns on normal mutations never happening, and (most visibly) getting huge negative EV and Slaying if they also had Protean Grace. Which, finally, made this problem visible.
But there were also a few more subtle issues with how 'non-innate' and 'silver affecting' were conflated, that caused Makhleb marks to count against the player's normal mutation count for purposes of making normal mutation sources fail. But also, *temporary* mutations also counted for this, which seems incorrect to me.
So I have slightly refactored how_mutated, disentangling silver checks a little more, and making only normal mutation count have any effect on mutation chance.
This fixes #4813

Disable animations during fsim
While there were no screen redraws during fsim, a lot of animation code would still include full delays, greatly slowing down fsim for a variety of artefacts that could produce spell-like effects from attacking. In fact, this behavior was so non-linear with the number of simulations performed that I suspect it might have something to do with overlays stacking up enormously with no screen refresh to clear them. So instead, let's not do that.
As an example, this commit reduces the length of time it takes my computer to produce a full fsim chart with Arc Blade to ~3 seconds from a previous **23 minutes!**

Very scatter-shot vault review
Of note:
* Yet further adjustments have been made to ossuaries to mildly buff the weakest ones and mildly nerf the strongest ones.
* cryptofortress_bobbens has more monster set option variety.
* To make nicolae_qazlal_style_of_elements more consistent in its monster grouping while still preserving the spirit of having the earth monster in the set actually escape the glass confines so many other vaults use as just decoration, the D set uses other early elemental animals (as Qazlal wrath and Qazlal vaults both deploy), and a new Elf set-up has been added to place regular elementals in their native branch.
* grated_community_mu has been moved from Depths to D:12-14 and Vaults:1-4, alongside immense header clean-up. The monster set has been extremely out of date for a long while on both threat levels (plain kobolds, centaurs, gargoyles) and on branch differentiation levels (orcs, elves)- rather than try to 100% revise its contents, I've made two seperate sets of somewhat-overlapping contents placed earlier. This comes with notable layout revisions (so it can place in V), some heavy tile changes (including fix-ups for using early D rock tiles for stone), and a hopefully much easier to parse header that doesn't constantly redirect assignments to their console glyphs instead of the default vault glyphs.

As an example, this commit reduces the length of time it takes my computer to produce a full fsim chart with Arc Blade to ~3 seconds from a previous **23 minutes!**

Prevent several egos in "any armour ego:X" from picking orbs or scarves
This prevents eight or so vaults using "any armour ego:[something]" from placing e.g. orbs of rPois or scarves of rF without the normal orb or scarf ego properties. While other aux slot armour getting egos like rF and rC are fine for portals, the rF and rC scarves are strictly worse than scarves of resistance and the orbs are a very hard sell versus just using e.g. a buckler of the given resistance (or an orb randart with resists, which is probably also more common in comparison). It'd also require a lot of specifications in both past and future vaults to avoid placing items that shouldn't otherwise generate anyway. As such, we might as well prevent these generating in the first place.

Reduce prompts when attacking peripheral summons (CarefulOdds)
With this commit we no longer prompt the player when they try to attack self-summoned, peripheral monsters, unless doing so would cause an explosion or penance. (I don't think it was currently possible to cause penance by attacking these targets because they're all nonliving and brainless, but this should be more future-proof, at least.)
The context here is that previously, players casting things like fire storm > fridge would have to deal with a ton of nonsense prompts about damaging their own conjured monsters. Yes, the player knows. No, the player likely doesn't care.
We do continue to warn about damaging non-peripheral summons, under the logic that if the player is using spells that are primarily summons they'd probably prefer the prompt.
Re: prompting about explosive monsters and penance: There's an argument that the penance case should prevent the cast instead of prompting, and that might happen in a future commit.

Squelch OTR's ally immunity messaging
As an aoe spell with a duration, this gets *very* spammy -- we don't need it! Players can figure out their allies aren't being hurt by seeing them not be hurt.
Low-SNR message spam like this really bothers me, it just trains players not to read messages which eventually catches them in a gotcha moment when something important happens. I'd like to try to reduce this.
(It looks like the OTR messaging was previously *intended* to be quieted, but it wasn't being passed through properly.)

Fix Ru penance title checking current piety
When abandoning a god with Invocations as their highest skill, a player gets their penance title even if not under penance, as with Ru, and ends it only when the penance ends: in Ru's case, never. However, the title checked their current piety and overrode it afterward only if under real penance, giving ex-Ru Invocations masters normal Ru piety titles, such as Drop of Water. Simply give traitors zero-piety titles from the start.

Slightly improve Nemelex card targeting around plants (not_that_greg)
The tracer used for aiming destruction cards treated all possible bolts as non-penetrating, which had particularly awkward behavior with plants; the game literally wouldn't let you aim at a target behind a plant, even when the majority result of a card could shoot through it just fine.
Instead, treat the default as penetrating, and if the player happens to roll the lowest power tier that can't actually penetrate, that's just the (un)luck of the draw.
(In the future, some proposed Nemelex tweaks will probably make it more unambiguous what type of effect you're getting at the point you're aiming it, but this seems an improvement for now.)

Tweak potion and scroll shops in grated_community_mu
This vault has the unfortunate theming of telling a joke that's only funny once: The inhabitants *really* want to keep out the riffraff, so they setup a gated community and charge exorbitant prices to get you to turn around and leave. Ha-ha.
Here we lower the prices for the scroll and potion shops in this vault from greed 50 to greed 35 to match its preexisting slightly-lower smithy shop greed, and we extend their set of available items to include more questionably-useful consumables, hopefully allowing the player to maybe want to buy something from them occasionally.

Fix crash with Jiyva spawning slimes on damage (code2828)
When Jiyva creates slime creatures as a result of taking damage, they are meant to target the creature that caused damage to you. However, if the damage was from a cloud placed by a dead ally (e.g. fire clouds from a blaze-heart golem), the target would be set to ANON_FRIENDLY_MONSTER which isn't a valid target and resulted in a crash. To fix this, don't spawn slime creatures when damaged by a dead ally (we already don't when damaged by a dead enemy).

Fix generation of certain ring artefect properties
The code for specifying fixed randart properties relies on having an accurate value for any intrinsic properties for the item's base type. Certain rings like strength and slaying store use their plus value to store how much they increase the relevant property, but this isn't yet available when checking fixed artprops for item defs like `any ring...`. We have a map to store the needed intrinsic properties and values for jewellery items, but rings using plus had values of 0 in this data. Hence an item def like `any ring artprops:Str:4` could roll a ring of strength as its subtype, initially pass the artprop validity test, but subsequently fail that test after its plus was set and the rest of the properties were being filled in. This would lead to an error message and the fixed properties being ignored.
This commit adds the standard plus values to the intrinsic property values for the relevant rings and refactors related code.

Fix various wizmode trap placement issues (#4773)
When using wizmode terrain placement to place a trap, fix the following problems
1. Don't ask which trap to make if already specified.
2. Fix trap always made at you.pos() even when told to make it at another place.
3. When the player places a shaft on a branch end, game awkwardly says "Vault [nothing] tried to place a shaft at a branch end". It now says "Something" if env.placing_vault is empty (dungeon.cc:6493). Hopefully it looks better.
Fixes #4757.

Make explore traps trigger at start of player turn instead of end
This simultaneously improves two things:
1) A very weird timing issue existed where tiles revealed during monster actions could queue up a trap effect that would only happen after the next *player* action. For instance, a swamp worm could harpoon shot the player into unexplored territory, then the player could attack the swamp worm and immediately get teleported, despite no new tiles being revealed on that turn.
2) Teleport traps allowed monsters at the player's new location to get an immediate action, before the player was given any chance to respond. While this was relatively unlikely to be overly punishing, in rare situations could result in the player being one-shot without any realistic chance to do anything about it. (In a worst-case scenario, a Chei worshipper moving through water might give monsters at their destination many turns worth of actions before the player got another one!)
This should hopefully be both slightly less weird and less unfair in those situations.

Remove some (hopefully) needless special-casing of webtiles status export
I cannot find any current reason these statuses are special-cased (one of them didn't even display properly in webtiles until the previous commit).
Looking through the history, there is some suggestion acrobat was done this way to make the timing of it turning blue work in webtiles, but it currently seems to have no effect on that, either way. 

4e2feb06e7 | 2025-09-19 23:08:36 -0230 | DracoOmega
Improve colouring of temp AC/EV/SH modifiers, refactor webtiles handling
If player defenses are reduced below their normal levels via temporary effect, they will now be colored red in the HUD (this was done previously only for corrosion's effect on AC, and not if there were any positive temporary effects of any kind active at the same time).
Also, export the boosted/normal/penalized defenses status to webtiles directly instead of asking it to do its wn string comparisons on statuses, which constantly resulted in things being overlooked or drifting out of date. Now they should be in constant agreement with console/local tiles.
(I did not extend this to temporary changes to HP/stats, since those are much rarer, but they could also be done the same way in theory.)

Fix an Arenasprint softlock (regret-index)
The dlua call to directly change terrain ignored temporary terrain changes altogether, making it possible for situations like trying to place the dungeon exit on top of a tree from Summon Forest, and that exit thus disappearing entirely when the forest effect expired (and returned it to its original underlying terrain).
Instead, immediately revert terrain changes at that tile.
(This may affect some things in other uses of this function, but I feel in general that if a vault wants a terrain change to happen, that it really actually should.)

Fix the Lernaean Hydra destroying stone walls (regret-index)
A combination of Summon Forest and the Lernaean hydra could be used to permanently destroy walls - even stone or metal ones - since wall destruction done via monster movement lacked the underlying terrain check that spell digging does.
The behavior with diggers was sightly odder in that the original wall would return, leaving Xak standing inside stone that you'd temporarily frozen with rime yak form (for instance).
Both of them should now only be able to dig into terrain whose original feature they could either also dig or occupy.

Mention Bane of the Dilettante in the skill menu when affected by it
Also, perform a somewhat unsatisfying fix to prevent it being nearly impossible to read this help text if too many bonuses and penalties were activate at once, since it would overflow into the command list at the bottom of the menu.
(It currently does this by no longer tying to put bonuses and penalties on separate lines. I wanted to only do this when they'd otherwise overflow, but it is remarkably difficult to know how much text space we have at the point of assembling the text, and all of our frontends disagree with each other. But the bonus from manuals always went on the same line, so hopefully this is okay enough.)

Properly warn when memorising spells under Trog.
god_spell_warn_string() has been expanded to account for memorising spells, and it's now used for the warning prompt instead of a warning message beforehand. Rhe warning message is displayed on its own in interactive mode, as before, but not in wizard mode, since wizard mode bypasses the conduct checks.
(Currently, only Trog hates both memorising spells and casting them, so god_spell_warn_string() is a bit redundant now, but if it differentiates between memorising and casting spells at some point in the future, the distinction will be useful.)
Also, actually use the "no memorising spells" conduct, instead of faking it with "spell casting" conduct.
Closes #4791.

Arenasprint: more balance work, more tiles
While I personally prefer the Sprints based on highly randomized monster sets (arenasprint, pitsprint, zigsprint) for having substantially less spoiler issues and more inherent variety than the others, they also will continuously need more work than the rest of them for having previously been highly reliant on generic "place:Branch" calls. (Such calls, of course, have scaled poorly with the past decade-plus since these sprints were first made trying to buff most later branches.)
Alongside heavy adjustments across earlier sets and tweaks to later sets, I've also tweaked the spellbook shop once more, added some explicit evokers for mildly attractive additional options, and replaced the now-useless scroll of identify shop with a shop selling each orb type. Boss kills now also give out random parchments, so magic-using characters not using spell-gift gods can get some variety between each run past the fixed book shop without upending the overall balance.
Additionally, I've made a small number of quick tile-hybrids to show monster variants as arenasprint notably relies upon. There's quite a few more to do in the future if these work out, but I'd like to rethink the current inconsistent threat level of the sprint's "bosses" being high-HP regular enemies versus uniques not announcing they're given more HP. (Maybe sticking to mostly uniques and giving them a consistent adjective?)

Refactor place_cloud to do its own validity checking, fix inconsistencies
place_cloud would assert if it tried to place a cloud inside a wall, which has recently become possible to trigger in many more circumstances via wall monsters. However, there were already many, many places where the code depended upon the caller manually checking cell_is_solid() first and this feels very needless to me in a situation where silently not placing a cloud is already the behavior we want.
So now place_cloud does its own checking for in_bounds() and cell_is_solid() and should be safe to call under any circumstance. I have gone through and removed now-redundant checks from countless calls of this method.
In addition, I have removed cases of vetoing place_cloud if a pre-existing cloud was at that spot. Most of these predate the modern consistent cloud priority behavior, meaning that quite a few effects (effectively at random) would be blocked by purely cosmetic clouds (eg: foul stench, Frostbite, and air-flavored Upheaval, to name just a few)

Fix water replacing Ziggurat stairs and exits (dillyguru)
c1aa15e adding elemental wellsprings to the Summoners ziggurat set ends up with Crawl trying to make sure said water-bound monsters actually start off with a permanent source of water underneath them, which has a small chance of replacing Ziggurat stairs and exits with water if the rare set then decides to place that on the stairs or exit. (Wellsprings are placed via the water monster set in Cocytus rather than the regular floor placement code, so this never came up for the Cocytus ziggurat set). The Summoners set already has a reasonable amount of variety for something so rare, so it can just lose wellsprings to avoid this being an issue.

Fix ktype string for KILLED_BY_DEATH_EXPLOSION just being 'spore'
It apparently was named this ever since it was first introduced 17 years ago (by a commit which even talked about ball lightning, for that matter!)
The enum itself also hasn't been KILLED_BY_SPORE in quite a few years and this is just confusing when doing sequel queries.

Fix a ?/m crash when looking up Nobody (various)
Previously, when trying to lookup Nobody's description before they'd actually generated in a game, their descriptor was trying to access an uninitialized vector.
Fixes #4766. Closes #4768.

Fix water replacing Ziggurat stairs and exits (dillyguru)
c1aa15e adding elemental wellsprings to the Summoners ziggurat set ends up with Crawl trying to make sure said water-bound monsters actually start off with a permanent source of water underneath them, which has a small chance of replacing Ziggurat stairs and exits with water if the rare set then decides to place that on the stairs or exit. (Wellsprings are placed via the water monster set in Cocytus rather than the regular floor placement code, so this never came up for the Cocytus ziggurat set). The Summoners set already has a reasonable amount of variety for something so rare, so it can just lose wellsprings to avoid this being an issue.

Refactor to fix Vehumet range bonus benefitting monsters
spell_range() was, by default, player-centric, yet used in many places for monster casters. This meant that Vehumet's range extension incorrectly also applied to monsters for a small handful of different things, including: glaciate, permafrost eruption, searing ray (after the first turn it is cast), fulminant prism, the post-bounce range of many bouncing beams, and a the return value of couple clua functions. The bug with glaciate (ie: worshipping Vehumet increasing Lom's range) may have existed as far back as 0.25!
This commit fixes those bugs, as well as hopefully improving some of the methods involved. Old Crawl had many spells with power-based ranges, but few of them remain, so it is no longer required to specify power for every range check (many, many spells used completely arbitrary numbers for it just to satisfy the method signature), but it is now easier to specify the *caster* you're checking range for, which can automatically calculate power as well, when required.
An agent should be specified for any call to spell_range() where Vehumet's range bonus *might* apply to some caster, but is otherwise optional for a little less boilerplate.

Remove two meaningless variable spell ranges from monsters
Lightning bolt could be as short as range 4 at low power, but the lowest HD caster of it already has enough power to reach 8.
Beckoning Gale was never even meant to be anything other than full LoS range and only had variable range by accident. The lowest caster already reached range 7, though, so technically only barachi could see any difference.

Let autofight move towards warded enemies (various)
Autofight understood that it was impossible to damage warded enemies while at range and would not consider attacking them. This is desireable for ranged combat (so that it will shoot other things instead), but more awkward for melee characters or when there is only one enemy in sight.
Now autofight should move towards a warded enemy if there are no other valid targets the player can currently damage.
(This will be even more important in the near future when warded enemies will exist beyond one bane and one wizlab.)

Display delay on throwing weapons (Planckenstein)
Just like with other weapons. Not only is this convenient but it also makes it clearer that your throwing delay is effected by shields which wasn't apparent to some players.

Always display weapon delay in item descriptions
Previously it was displayed only when the displayed delay would be different from the base delay. Normally, this was when you had zero skill but it could also be hidden if your armour/shield delay canceled out your weapon skill delay reductions. This was unexpected and I think it's a good idea to always show the current delay anyway. It's short and when it's absent, I need to spend time looking for it so I can be sure that it's absent.

Mostly catch-up vault review
This vault review is mostly accumulated fix-ups of small reports and pieces I've noticed over time regarding newer tile adjustments or Trove clean-up since the big overhaul, as well as a few other pieces like distributing this version's newer equipment types in more vaults / troves / portals. There's not a lot of other individual matters worthy of note, but:
* Wizlab entrances and Borgjnor's Mausoleum have more visual fanciness,
* The Crypt:3 shop now has more orb types and a chance for plate armour of death randarts,
* and Tomb entrances no longer place plain mummes in exchange for various Ossuary monsters (that could at least hypothetically be relevant in support capacities) plus slightly more sphinx draugr.

Allow one-handed small species to acquire spears
Previously, if acquirement generated a polearm for a one-handed spriggan or kobold, this would lead to a crash, as their only option, spears, are acquirement weight 0. As it is their best and only polearm option, and allowing at least one polearm type is the only way such a character can acquire usable and powerful unrand polearms such as Wyrmbane, give basic spears an effective weight of 1 in this case only.
It might be cleaner to give starter weapons weight 1 by default, or to forbid characters in this situation from acquiring Wyrmbane, but either seems comparatively sad for the player, so this exception is made here for now.

Remove undefined equipment behavior when transiting monsters (Xolotl)
In general, monster inventories are not stored inside the monster themselves, but in env.items and the monster just stores references to indicies in that array that correspond to their equipment.
When monsters are transited from one floor to another, their old inventory is copied and new links set up when they are placed. *However*, determining where to put them has to check if the monster is flying, which has to check their equipment, *which isn't set up yet, and is thus pointing to random items on the new floor*. In most cases, this is invisible, since most items are either empty or have no relevant properties, but in theory a monster *could* incorrectly think it was flying if one of its links pointed to a flight item on the new floor.
Or, as led to this being discovered, could crash if the monster thought it was wearing an artefact spellbook.
I believe this bug has probably existed approximatetly forever, but just been very hard to trigger in a relevant way.

New level document: a list of monsters not meant to leave their branches
A suggestion made a few years ago by elliptic, which I had him proofread back then and which I've tailored to my own preferences afterward. Most of this is meant to make sure extended branches still get to have their own notable highlights compared to the rest of a 3-rune game, as well as to not overly use monsters that readily injure and debuff other monsters.
As the document itself notes, a vault's monster choices can end up being rejected or changed for reasons outside of this list- it is meant to mostly to provide an offhand quick piece of reference material for both vault submissions and vault edits. There are also a fair number of specific exceptions, like Ziggurats and the Vestibule of Hell- reading the full document is recommended.
(Ideally, this list would be expanded in the future for earlier branches after getting a sufficiently varied monster pool readied for the each of them, but it has been a slow process over the past versions to sufficiently fill out other goals of D and endgame / extended branches. So it goes.)

small assortment of vaults (#4747)
adds some vaults across various branches
[Committer's notes: To be precise, this contains an Elf arrival vault, a minivault each for Orc and Depths + Crypt, an entry vault each for Tomb and Ziggurats, a Necropolis subvault, and a new lategame guarded_unrand vault.
Initial feedback was provided privately and handled in follow-up commits that have been squashed into the one commit. This included leaving out a Dis non-end encompass vault using ironbound mechanists, which has been rejected for now for putting living midgame branch guest monsters in a Hell, but which will be accepted after the Hell-Pan roulette project most likely ends up adding a Nazja's Tempering monster for Dis.
This submitter has assented to regular vault edits previously and recently, which has lead a fair bit of header clean-up. Other notable changes include:
* Making _all_or_nothing_shop use a fair bit of Lua to read fairly better than constantly going over the header character limit repeating the word "randart" constantly- I really should make some formalized vault functions for this sort of super-long weapons list sometime.
* Moving klown_kollege to Zot.des where it belongs, upgrading its rewards in an appropriate fashion, and significantly adjusting its aesthetics.
* Replacing enter_ziggurat_h's moths of wrath (too much bleed-over between Depths and Zot for something as common as a ziggurat entrance, too dangerous to allow deep troll earth mages to dig out) and lost souls (functional but not really anything presented as common monsters these days) for some weaker support monsters in higher quantities- torpor snails, soul eaters, glass eyes, and rakshasa.
Resolves #4747.]

Adjust a few semi / recent tiles
* I've changed the accursed mutation (which gives undead species their rDoom-) tile to use the Doom red-black palette of drudes / ravens / cacodemon extremities / Doom bolt icon and vfx, as well as the patterns used in Ill-Omen and Doom Bolt icon / vfx tiles, rather than just matching regular Yred invocation colours entirely.
* I've also changed the contamination suceptibility icon away from the maze patterns of draining to instead the speckles of the Mutagenic Gaze icon, though with colours from the current Flux Form / contamination explosion tiles instead.
* Discussions of deploying the Mass Regeneration spell on a future holy has lead to me noticing it never got its own icon in e97a2a3, so I've put together a quick one combining ontoclasm's Heal Other icon with roctavian's Regeneration icon.
(Also, I've removed yred_dark_bargain.png from the unused folder, due to being used now thrice- Malign Offering, Shadow Draining, and this accursed mutation icon. To help other devs without their own collections of removed tiles, I've added some more spell icons to the folder: roctavian's Flame Tongue / Controlled Blink / Phase Shift, and ontoclasm's Deflect Missiles plus Excruiating Wounds.)

Add eyeball-themed entry vault (#4750)
[Committer's notes: While the vault's fountains of eyes are very gimmicky features to put at the very start of the game and lack for any obvious connection to Jiyva and Lugonu as the other eye fountain vaults lean upon, we have over 300 arrival vaults as is and it's a good summation of some of Crawl's weirder flavour to occasionally put unique decoration earlier, so I'm fine with merging this with only a mild downweighting. Also, since apostrophes work in vault names (c.f. bddc013), I added one in.
Resolves #4750.]

Adjustments to zig sets (#4638)
* Shoals: Small boost to formless jellyfish and sphinx marauders (two of the more dangerous enemies in the branch) * Orc: Loses iron trolls (which don't really spawn in there), gains ettins * Crypt: Small boost to cognitogaunts and ancient champions * Ice: Reduces scaling for (former) top tier monsters so orbs of winter can be more prominent * Earth: Add walking crystal/earthen tomes and the iron trolls that Orc lost * Chaos: Add blood saints, fleshcrafters and zykzyl * Archers: Add cherubim * Summoners: Add elemental wellsprings
Also some minor formatting tweaks
[Committer's notes:
* Crypt: Slightly lowered cognitogaunt scaling, as they're not that much difficult for megazig players to destroy and we've got enough sets trying to hate on mages as is.
* Earth: Rejected putting obsidian bats over gargoyles, as they're more tangential + demonic than necessary, and zig levels are already using harmless monsters in the first Zig for the sake of letting people only briefly dipping into Zigs to not be completely destroyed (see Fire floor efreets, Ice floor ice devils, Air floor raiju, Lair itself.)
* Negative Energy changes were ignored due to this submission managing to be between eee5569 and 9245ba7, the latter of which already added the orbs. (I'm also holding back alderkings from the floor due to planning a less plant / fae themed monster with Siphon Essence with Hell-Pan Roulette).
Also did my own further formatting adjustments to the above commit message and ziggurat.lua itself. Resolves #4638.]

A suggestion made a few years ago by elliptic, which I had him proofread back then and which I've tailored to my own preferences afterward. Most of this is meant to make sure extended branches still get to have their own notable highlights compared to the rest of a 3-rune game, as well as to not overly use monsters that readily injure and debuff other monsters.
As the document itself notes, a vault's monster choices can end up being rejected or changed for reasons outside of this list- it is meant to mostly to provide an offhand quick piece of reference material for both vault submissions and vault edits. There are also a fair number of specific exceptions, like Ziggurats and the Vestibule of Hell- reading the full document is recommended.
(Ideally, this list would be expanded in the future for earlier branches after getting a sufficiently varied monster pool readied for the each of them, but it has been a slow process over the past versions to sufficiently fill out other goals of D and endgame / extended branches. So it goes.)

small assortment of vaults (#4747)
adds some vaults across various branches
[Committer's notes: To be precise, this contains an Elf arrival vault, a minivault each for Orc and Depths + Crypt, an entry vault each for Tomb and Ziggurats, a Necropolis subvault, and a new lategame guarded_unrand vault.
Initial feedback was provided privately and handled in follow-up commits that have been squashed into the one commit. This included leaving out a Dis non-end encompass vault using ironbound mechanists, which has been rejected for now for putting living midgame branch guest monsters in a Hell, but which will be accepted after the Hell-Pan roulette project most likely ends up adding a Nazja's Tempering monster for Dis.
This submitter has assented to regular vault edits previously and recently, which has lead a fair bit of header clean-up. Other notable changes include:
* Making _all_or_nothing_shop use a fair bit of Lua to read fairly better than constantly going over the header character limit repeating the word "randart" constantly- I really should make some formalized vault functions for this sort of super-long weapons list sometime.
* Moving klown_kollege to Zot.des where it belongs, upgrading its rewards in an appropriate fashion, and significantly adjusting its aesthetics.
* Replacing enter_ziggurat_h's moths of wrath (too much bleed-over between Depths and Zot for something as common as a ziggurat entrance, too dangerous to allow deep troll earth mages to dig out) and lost souls (functional but not really anything presented as common monsters these days) for some weaker support monsters in higher quantities- torpor snails, soul eaters, glass eyes, and rakshasa.
Resolves #4747.]

Adjust a few semi / recent tiles
* I've changed the accursed mutation (which gives undead species their rDoom-) tile to use the Doom red-black palette of drudes / ravens / cacodemon extremities / Doom bolt icon and vfx, as well as the patterns used in Ill-Omen and Doom Bolt icon / vfx tiles, rather than just matching regular Yred invocation colours entirely.
* I've also changed the contamination suceptibility icon away from the maze patterns of draining to instead the speckles of the Mutagenic Gaze icon, though with colours from the current Flux Form / contamination explosion tiles instead.
* Discussions of deploying the Mass Regeneration spell on a future holy has lead to me noticing it never got its own icon in e97a2a3, so I've put together a quick one combining ontoclasm's Heal Other icon with roctavian's Regeneration icon.
(Also, I've removed yred_dark_bargain.png from the unused folder, due to being used now thrice- Malign Offering, Shadow Draining, and this accursed mutation icon. To help other devs without their own collections of removed tiles, I've added some more spell icons to the folder: roctavian's Flame Tongue / Controlled Blink / Phase Shift, and ontoclasm's Deflect Missiles plus Excruiating Wounds.)

Add eyeball-themed entry vault (#4750)
[Committer's notes: While the vault's fountains of eyes are very gimmicky features to put at the very start of the game and lack for any obvious connection to Jiyva and Lugonu as the other eye fountain vaults lean upon, we have over 300 arrival vaults as is and it's a good summation of some of Crawl's weirder flavour to occasionally put unique decoration earlier, so I'm fine with merging this with only a mild downweighting. Also, since apostrophes work in vault names (c.f. bddc013), I added one in.
Resolves #4750.]

Adjustments to zig sets (#4638)
* Shoals: Small boost to formless jellyfish and sphinx marauders (two of the more dangerous enemies in the branch) * Orc: Loses iron trolls (which don't really spawn in there), gains ettins * Crypt: Small boost to cognitogaunts and ancient champions * Ice: Reduces scaling for (former) top tier monsters so orbs of winter can be more prominent * Earth: Add walking crystal/earthen tomes and the iron trolls that Orc lost * Chaos: Add blood saints, fleshcrafters and zykzyl * Archers: Add cherubim * Summoners: Add elemental wellsprings
Also some minor formatting tweaks
[Committer's notes:
* Crypt: Slightly lowered cognitogaunt scaling, as they're not that much difficult for megazig players to destroy and we've got enough sets trying to hate on mages as is.
* Earth: Rejected putting obsidian bats over gargoyles, as they're more tangential + demonic than necessary, and zig levels are already using harmless monsters in the first Zig for the sake of letting people only briefly dipping into Zigs to not be completely destroyed (see Fire floor efreets, Ice floor ice devils, Air floor raiju, Lair itself.)
* Negative Energy changes were ignored due to this submission managing to be between eee5569 and 9245ba7, the latter of which already added the orbs. (I'm also holding back alderkings from the floor due to planning a less plant / fae themed monster with Siphon Essence with Hell-Pan Roulette).
Also did my own further formatting adjustments to the above commit message and ziggurat.lua itself. Resolves #4638.]

Prevent Spit Poison self-target
If the only valid targets were immune to Spit Poison, it would default to targeting the player, needlessly prompting for self-damage when there was no good reason to self-target anyway, and no meaningful benefit to allowing this manually while many other effects do not. The T2 mutation upgrade, Breathe Poison, is untouched because it can place defensive clouds under and around the player.

This is a little bit of a cludgy fix (and still imperfect, since trying to examine such a shop will show a question mark instead of its normal icon), but a lot of code calls shop_at as a way of checking if there *is* a shop at some arbitrary space, rather than in situations where it 'knows' there is one, and this avoids disrupting any of that.

A handful of new overflow-and-beyond altar vaults
These vaults try to get some more homes for recently added or changed monsters, a little more variety earlier on as overflow altars once struggled with, and with settings to place later on to add more divine flavour to later branches. (On that second point: I'm not the most fond of the altar counts of current overflow temples, but it will take quite a few more earlier vaults, early monsters, and more tiles to justify emphasizing otherwise-insufficiently-varied individual overflow altar vaults again.)
The list includes:
* a serpent's hoard for Gozag, * loose abstract lightning and clouds for Qazlal, * the aftermath of some bloody battle for Trog, * a Doom-spreading dais for Xom, * and both a burned-down ghostly prison and bone-lined pool for Yred.

Add another ancestor name.
Not really common, but apparently it's from Germanic roots meaning "earth/world ruler," and there are similar actual names in the Western European name list already.

Adjust trove.des (rypofalem, gammafunk)
* As #4746 brought up, it's a little awkward for the Dread Knight's trove to be the only lowered weight trove without any documentation as to why. (It has no spellcaster support due to the -CAST propert of the unrand, which leaves it unlike the majority of other troves, and reaping weapons can clash with conjurations builds.) Rutra's trove is now also lowered in weight (as the wall mimics are quite gimmicky to have made much more common, and the stealth / stabbing / hexes rewards clash with other builds), and both now have brief inline comments explaining why they're less common.
* The lua for generating trove shields has been adjusted to no longer have syntax issues for characters with high shields skill, trolls, or oni.

A handful of new overflow-and-beyond altar vaults
These vaults try to get some more homes for recently added or changed monsters, a little more variety earlier on as overflow altars once struggled with, and with settings to place later on to add more divine flavour to later branches. (On that second point: I'm not the most fond of the altar counts of current overflow temples, but it will take quite a few more earlier vaults, early monsters, and more tiles to justify emphasizing otherwise-insufficiently-varied individual overflow altar vaults again.)
The list includes:
* a serpent's hoard for Gozag, * loose abstract lightning and clouds for Qazlal, * the aftermath of some bloody battle for Trog, * a Doom-spreading dais for Xom, * and both a burned-down ghostly prison and bone-lined pool for Yred.

Not really common, but apparently it's from Germanic roots meaning "earth/world ruler," and there are similar actual names in the Western European name list already.

Adjust monster door-smashing behavior (various)
While monsters smashing closed doors was intended to stop the weird dance of the player opening a door as rapidly as another monster closes it (to regenerate while staying safe) and did fairly well in that capacity, due to specifics of monster behavior code, a monster would never become eligable to smash a door unless they had physically seen the player before. Some configurations of door allowed the player to do this indefinitely.
Instead, require the monster be targeting the player and the player be adjacent to the door (otherwise, they can't close it again anyway!). This should solve the potentially degenerate case while preventing a swath of broken doors from wandering monsters elsewhere on the level.
(But berserking monsters can just break doors whether you're near them or not.)

Fix a possible quick blade crash
If a coglin killed a monster with their first weapon, there would be a null defender for the second weapon swing - which normally isn't an issue, since this is used deliberately to setup possible cleaving on that weapon and bails out before it actually tries to *attack* that null defender.
But if the second weapon a quick blade, and its first attack fumbled in water, it could try to perform a second attack against that defender without first checking if it was valid, resulting in a crash.

Expand action counts for consumables
All action counts could tell one for scrolls and potions was that you had used 'some scroll' or 'some potion'. Given how wildly these vary in value, this isn't terribly useful!
Now there is a seperate CACT_DRINK and CACT_READ, tracking specifically which potion or scroll was used. Wands likewise get the same treatment (evokers were already separated, but all wands lumped into one category).
I have left the old CACT_USE action tracking around (but omitted from the dump) since this is used for title tracking and scorefile fields, though possibly some further refactoring ought to make those use the new action count instead.

Revise tracking of melee action counts
Currently, melee action counts track something slightly muddled between 'number of independent attacks made' and 'number of times you swung X weapon at something'. For instance, hitting 8 adjacent monsters with an axe counts as 1 melee action, while hitting 8 monsters with oni potion cleave or Manifold Assault counts as 8 melee actions. Attacks caused by riposting are also in a completely separate category from melee in general while several other sources of getting bonus attacks are untracked.
This commit attempts to improve the situation a little by making a clear seperation: -CACT_MELEE is for 'swung a specific weapon at something'. Attacking 8 targets with an axe bump attack will count the same as 8 targets from Manifold Assault. -CACT_ATTACK is for 'performed an action that resulted in swinging some weapon at something' and tracks the *category* of this - whether it was a standard attack, a riposte, spellclaws, spellmotor, drunken brawling, or Wu Jian lunge or whirlwind (which are no longer tracked by 'fake' ability action counts). Things like Manifold Assault are not included, since there is already an unambiguous way to track their usage via spell counts. But future weapon arts will also be able to use this.
Hopefully this is a little bit less muddled than the current situation while presenting some relevant new information.

Refactor a bunch of melee_attack code to fix a multitude of issues
A non-exhaustive list of issues hopefully fixed by this commit: -Dual-wielding coglins recieved no damage bonus from Vhi's or Bestial Takedown. -Bestial Takedown attacked with only the first of two weapons. -Spellclaw damage bonus (from Enkindle) or malus (from slow weapons) was not applying to secondary cleave targets or a second quick blade attack. The same was true of Bestial Takedown's damage bonus. -Fumbling the first of a series of quick blade attacks would cancel all remaining ones (even though each one already had an independent chance to fumble) -Berserkitis and *Rage could only trigger if the primary target of a cleave was non-firewood. This meant that you could attack a plant while cleaving other monsters completely safely (or use ctrl+direction to attack an empty space slightly to the side of the monster you were fighting) -Attacking monsters the player was afraid of could cancel an entire attack sequence if they were the primary target, but had no effect if they weren't (similar to above). -Coglins using ctrl+direction targeting an empty space while wielding a cleaving weapon would attack with only their first weapon and not both. -Ctrl+direction cleave did not trigger many post-attack effects, even when it attacked monsters (ie: extending status durations, triggering medusa tendrils and Paragon)
In general, it is now possible to query whether a complete 'attack set' (ie: including cleave followups) contains a hostile non-firewood target and most effects that trigger once-per-complete-swing against non-firewood should check this instead of caring specifically about the primary target.
One other minor change is that it's no longer possible to trigger berserkitis by attacking a friendly target (partially for code consistency with Coglin Rev, and partially because this would possibly lead to very silly behavior in specific circumstances anyway).

I've rearranged the header to the order stated in 1e59046, slightly adjusted tabbing and the name, and gave two of the monsters body armour as is lost when only specifying weapons for them. It's pretty dangerous to reliably deploy uniques in early overflow altar vaults, though the very narrow depth range should make this somewhat reasonable; to try and lessen such concerns, I've also lowered the overall weight of the vault a bit.

Add a few more options for 22-altar temples
After regret-index's recent commit (9db2fe2), I decided to add a few more options for temples with 22 altars.
I made one temple layout with a simple arrangement of 22 altars, nothing too fancy, and also added more options to nicolae_temple_bog_church, which can now handle up to 25 gods, which now that I think about it is probably impossible for temple layouts. Oh well.

Update some of develop/level docs
Much of these documents are well over a decade out of date in terms of their examples and standards alike. I'm not overhauling the entirety of them on a whim quite yet, due to the thousands and thousands of words written up in each of the documents, but there are bits here and there I can quickly adjust. Of note:
* Much of the introduction.txt/section F. Principles of vault making/ write-ups have been fleshed out to be more precise about what is and isn't a good idea this many years later, to be more useful as guidelines and inspiration alike.
* Quite a few examples used various pieces of content that don't exist (e.g. deep elf priests, as removed in 0310ae4), which I've adjusted as I've noticed them.
* The cross-document section lettering order was broken back in 55beb4d, and b5f8d22 added a fourth document out of sync with the rest of the other headers. I've reset both, though it might be warranted to further adjust them for readability and reference alike (e.g. "V2-A: Glyphs")?
* We've used "primary" and "replica" for synchronized lua markers since 967258e, so I updated triggerables.txt to match. (I've also removed the sample provided, since it is astonishingly out of date from what we actually use now and "primary_name" isn't really used in the codebase; if anybody else could add an appropriate example, I'd be grateful.)
Outside of this, I have also placed an explicit preferred vault header order, in develop/level/syntax.txt's Section I. Header information. I've been trying to reorganize vaults in my many vault reviews to fit a single unified house style, and it should be useful to have a specific place to refer to for future submissions.
These write-ups almost certainly need more proofreading in the future, but so much of these documents are out of date that even this day's random work should be more than they've seen since they were first made. They're also probably only very rarely noticed, since we haven't changed a lot of vault syntax in many years and they've fallen into such disarray. Hopefully, I can get around to doing more in the future, while also adding new bits like e.g. listing off newer decorative walls / floors / features.

Handle swamp_mist_pool teleport closets (#4735)
The chances of getting a teleport closet here when the vault is pressed up against a wall are slim (since surrounding tiles also have to roll for trees instead of water), but not impossible. As such, I am using two different ways to address the matter in a randomized fashion: forced level connection points (which doesn't always make corridors in many open layouts, but does it enough times I'm avoiding it being the default), and using the CLEAR syntax (which then relies on the default level connection checks). While I'm here, I also cleaned up the header a little.
Closes #4735.

Don't allow orc priest conversion if under wrath.
Since b6bfbb2, converting to a non-good god is disallowed if you're under that god's wrath; make orc priest conversion account for this.
(Otherwise, you could dump Beogh for no god, Beogh could send a band of hostile orcs including a priest, the priest could try to convert you, and it would fail because you'd still be under Beogh's wrath, which makes no sense.)

Fiddle with Josephine's depth some more
While Josephine was nudged up earlier in 005a376 already, her killratio statistics continue to underperform both overall and on the earliest floor she places on. With Nergalle cleaned up in 0a50e04, we've got enough of a solid early necromancer unique we don't to emphasize another one for longer; it's also good to further distance her away from the alt-timeline Josephina at the other end of the game.
(While I'm herre, I've fiddled some more with some more unique depth syntax arrangements, and pushed Yiuf down an entry alphabetically.)

Adjust boundless tesseract behavior once more
While discussions with numerous players have indicated that many people enjoy the change to Zot:5's dynamics that tesseracts bring in the average case, I remain a bit concerned about the gamefeel of the more extreme 'failure states' (where, for whatever reason, a player ends up spending an inordinate amount of time failing to kill them - especially if this happens before they'd cleared out many non-tesseract spawns from the floor.)
Even after the recent change to reduce maximum spawn rate and cap total unrewarding spawns, it can still leave players feeling 'softlocked' by the floor - unable to make any progress because of mistakes that were made earlier. Now, tesseracts should still represent real danger (or it's pointless for them to exist), but I feel they may be able to do this while lessening their worst-case scenarios *and* making them more likely to just kill the player outright once it is reached instead of wall them off.
Key changes:
-Tesseract spawn rate no longer increases over time at all. The baseline spawn rate is 1 per ~50 turns (nearly twice as slow as the previous maximum). -Tesseract spawns are capped at 60 active at once in total, with no more than 100 *total* monsters on the floor (regardless of how many of them came from the tesseract) -The first handful of monsters the tesseract spawns appear *faster* than before (but slow down after each one, reaching minimal baseline rate by 15 monsters).
This is aimed at making tesseracts do just a little bit more to those who deal with them efficiently, and much less against those who do the worst against them. The new worst-case scenario may no longer be that scary to strong players, but those aren't the players who were encountering it in the first place, so this is hopefully more equitable (while still being impactful enough to continue to influence the behavior of strong players in the ways they've already said they enjoy it doing).
-The off-level timer now runs for a maximum of 500 turns instead of 1000.
(The only reason it ran off-level at all was to prevent forcing players to return to Zot:4 every time they want to rest. It was not intended to penalize going somewhere else and some players did not even realize it was happening - potentially creating massive problems for their future self. 500 turns is about the most time anyone can realistically spend resting, and with the general reduction in spawn rate, should be much more gentle)
-After spawning 80 monsters, new monsters have a 1-in-4 chance of spawning in the player's LoS instead of outside it (indicated by purple tesseract status).
Note that this is above the maximum spawn cap for the floor, so requires the player to have been killing many tesseract spawns *and* still have spent ~4000+ turns doing so. This is unlikely to come up for most people, but is aimed at 'just killing' the player instead of walling them. For all the reasons listed above, the opposition keeping you away from the tesseract will be much less and regenerate much less quickly, so it should always remain *possible* to get there. But there's additional risk.
-Tesseracts no longer generate awake (and can, in fact, not be woken up by anything short of the death of an orb guardian - stab away to your heart's content, should you manage to get there in one piece!)
-The monster weights for tesseract spawns have been adjusted to make storm dragons less overwhelmingly common (and classed draconians more common). This is probably an overall increase in danger level, not just variety (but more than compensated for by the other changes).
-Some messages for orb guardians being banished/pacified/dying off-screen have been improved.
Hopefully, all together, this is closer to striking a balance that feels fun to play against without feeling overly punishing to slip up against (while still being a credible threat all the while).

Fix a variety of issues due to ordering of handle_monster_move
Due to how handle_monster_move was ordered, a variety of monsters with atypical behavior would exit the function prematurely (to skip 'standard' monster action code), but it was bailing out before the code to handle monster regeneration and many passive damage sources was handled (ie: clouds, bog, frozen ramparts, oozemancy). This means that the following monsters could never regenerate or be affected by any of those things:
Prisms, boulders, hellfire mortars, diamond sawblades, lightning spires, solar embers (but only while currently adjacent to the player), rending blades (that triggered that turn), boundless tesseracts, and player shadows. Note that tesseracts were supposed to regenerate 10 HP/turn and instead effective had 0 regen at all....
In addition, multiple monsters could still act while Paralyzed (including any of the above, but also any Vexed monster!)
These issues should hopefully be fixed now (and without breaking anything else...)

Further tweak Okawaru wrath
04553db expanding Okawaru's wrath options while also smoothening out the XL curve also added the thematically-severely-awkward possibility of getting orc priests, spriggan berserkers, or draconian stormcallers from Okawaru's wrath via band attendees. I have removed most of these from the top end, as the wrath is already quite vicious with more consistently placing 5 or 6 endgame serious threats at once ontop of the player compared to previously still rolling things like deep elf knights, deep elf archers, and frost giants at XL 27.

Name the HP*2 status back to "doubled vigour"
This mostly rolls back 13cf121.
* With 76c1861 and bb01f63 having provided in-game descriptions for monster statuses, clarifying what exactly the status does (in just multiplying HP) to players otherwise unaware of the mechanic is very straightforward (and getting people to read that tab in general would be good policy).
- Due to the monstatus tab using database looks-ups, database translation PR efforts could fill in for those failing to parse Crawl via external translators, though admittedly this has fallen immensely behind in recent versions.
* The messaging actually used for the effect can read quite awkwardly otherwise, with lines like "Your toenail golem looks doubled in health".
* Loose future plans to update more of Elyvilon's abilities while making them a bit more expensive, in particular potentially making Divine Vigour give this doubled health buff to one's allies (both making the capstone ability more flashy and letting the healer god actually be any good for one's allies), which would more closely connect the effect to its in-game use in the future.

New monster: bes kemwar, for early D
These Malaysian maggot spirits, or green Ws in console, are meant to cover two different goals at once.
* Their highly-variable disease-spreading mythos is deployed here in a highly magical setting to inflict the Diminished Spell debuff on players, much earlier than Zykzyls summoned post-Lair-Branches or encountered directly in Pan. (They cast it as an irresistable line-of-fire needing beam effect, since the spell is in many ways weaker than actually preventing one from casting spells via mp draining or Silence or Sap; compare to how gnoll boudas get their irresistable Weakening Gaze.)
* They're very early-game undead with passable but not much notable offenses outside of their spell-weakening trick, which lets them fit into early Yredelemnul Torch summons as something fairly weaker than the current high-rolls of wights or marrowcuda, and which can also help eventually remove necrophages as became somewhat obsolete with rot's removal (c.f. e446cd8).
They rarely place on D:4-8 with an 80% chance of banding with one of phantoms, jellies, sleepcaps, or another bes super rarely, taking equivalent weight from the each of those (and a tiny bit of ogre weight even things out), to make their spell weakening effect actually have some relevance beyond the individual encounter. They otherwise have stats slightly worse than bullfrogs, with less speed but undead resists and their debuff mildly compensating. They also take some of the necrophage and marrowcuda weight out of the low-level XL summons made by Raising the Black Torch, as Yredelemnul's strength is very high early on just for the zombies and can use a little more early variety + weakening both. Most notably, they also replace necrophages appearing in the Summon Undead list still, which gives the spell a little more texture compared to all the other melee-only bodies it uses.
(Their debuff is honestly a little weak early, as halving spellpower doesn't do a lot very eaarly versus the base damage of spells themselves, but between introducing the hex as is deployed later and being weaker Yred spawns, I'm fine with them mostly being tutorializing enemies that aren't super dangerous- the nudging up of ball pythons with constriction reworks in b1b5fd0 ended up needing a nerf in b1b5fd0, and bombardier beetles from 0fc8318 were a significant killer for quite a few months until most players learnt the gimmick they were tutorializing.)
Their tile is a combination of Ploomutoo's hungry ghost tile and roctavian's old mana viper tile, while the Diminish Spells spell icon uses ontoclasm's old Pakellas Sap Magic icon, CanofWorms's magic mutation icons, and Sastreii's Weakness status effect icon.

Cut Siren/Avatar song cast rate in half
When 523f668 refactored mesmerisation code, it unified cast rate behavior between siren/avatar song and spell mesmerisation, removing an oddity that made sirens/avatars try to mesmerise you *more* often if you were already affected, rather than less.
But, in effect, this doubled their base cast rate against players that resisted, which was probably not intended (and affected the monster-dazing effect fairly heavily). Let's cut it in half again, hopefully making it more similar in practice to before that commit.

I think the new Command heavy armour ego is fitting thematically since kings give commands and the Command ego would allow many characters to cast Dragon's Call in golden dragon scales with extreme training.
I removed will+ because it's boring. Although an identical artefact could be still be randomly generated, hopfully this is more interesting thematically and has more impact on players' strategic decisions.

Replace Antaeus's Flash Freeze with Sleetstrike (also for Blizzard Demons!)
With Flash Freeze's effect fairly heavily nerfed, it felt like Antaeus could still use an accurate slowing tool in his arsenal. Drawing upon his titan heritage, Sleetstrike is an ice-infused Airstrike that additionally slows the target's movements for a little while. Its base damage is fairly higher than Airstrike of equivalent power (to compensate for being partially irresistable).
Blizzard demons are also given this; they've never been one of the more threatening tier-2 demons and the slowing effect gives them a better support tool for their uses in Pan.

Fix monster airstrike damage flagrantly lying in xv
The listed damage for monster airstrike was extremely inaccurate in multiple ways, treating it as though it used the same formula as player airstrike when it very much did not. For instance, wind drakes claimed that they did 2d(7-23) damage, but their actual damage range with 0 empty spaces was 0-15 and with 8 empty spaces was 16-31. This is a very similar average, but much lower variance (and a maximum damage that is a whole 33% lower than claimed!)
This is a result of: -Using a function of random2avg() instead of roll_dice() for the power-based componant, which is extremely similar but not identical to the displayed numbers. -Not randomizing the space-based componant at all. You just flatly take +2 damage per empty space (unlike the player version).
While I considered changing the formula to match the player version, I feel that the difference between how the open space bonus is handled makes mechanical sense: the player is more predictably punished for being out of position, while not being able to so consistently punish enemies for the same 'mistake' (since enemies will make no attempt to avoid this). Also, fixing it would mean giving multiple enemies significantly higher max damage (which is something past commits already worried out loud about).
It's not clear that Gastronok needs to hit for 16 more damage than he currently does, so I am instead opting to change xv to convey the true behavior about space, while leaving it unchanged. (I did replace the use of random2avg with roll_dice, since that difference is too unimportant not to make consistent).
(This commit also fixes a minor bug where the player was considered 'open space' for purposes of a monster airstriking something adjacent to you.)

Greatly reduce the noise of ioods hitting each other
It's not at all clear why this was *much louder than Shatter* (and, in fact, tied for the loudest noise in the game, along with things like Gong and alarm traps....)
Orb/orb collisions are a lot more likely with the revised Orb card than they used to be (though not all bad - since they will often be next to an enemy when they collide!), and that level of noise seemed unexpected and undesireable. They're still very loud, but no louder than Storm card.

Attempt to improve the Orb card again
The 'starburst' effect from the Orb card was always more flashy than effective - none of the orbs were launched with respect to the player's chosen aim, and yet it was overly aggressive about telling orbs to attempt to home in on that target anyway (instead of targets they might have a chance of actually hitting). This meant that 6 orbs were often less good at hitting anything at all than 1 orb.
When f4014ab attempted to fix a seperate issue with the starburst being the 'low' power effect of the card, it greatly exacerbated this problem; not only did the single-orb version become much rarer at high power, but the starburst effect could now fire just 1 or 2 orbs - usually aimed at nothing in particular - making it dramatically ineffective.
This commit makes the following changes: -The 'center' of the starburst effect is always aligned with the player's aim (so that one orb always follows the direct path) -Non-center orbs will now choose targets based on 'closest angle' rather than 'closest distance within a moderate angle'. In general, this makes them a lot more likely to hit something (or at least make a reasonable attempt at doing so). -Burst orbs that lose their target lock (often due to another orb killing their target first) will try to reacquire the best one for their current angle and position. -Card power 1 always fires 3 orbs (in a narrower spread), while power 2 fires 6 in a wider spread.
In general, higher power effects should now almost always be strictly better than low power ones (instead of worse) and considerably more effective. One downside is that the new target lock behavior does make the orbs more likely to perform a full 180 and return in the player's direction (provided an enemy is in the way), though one can usually still safely maneuver them into hitting that enemy in this circumstance (and surely a little bit of danger is appropriate for the gambler god - especially when the payoff is large).

Greatly reduce Flash Freeze accuracy at high power (and also damage)
Orbs of winter have been consistently outperforming other orb types, and while I first assume this may have been the way Refrigeration damage stacks up with multiple orbs on screen at once, a closer analysis suggests Flash Freeze may be the larger culprit, accounting for ~80% of their direct kills.
Flash Freeze's accuracy scaling was always a little weird, being hugely affected by HD. Rime drake breath is merely 'pretty accurate', but orbs of winter had 125 to-hit with it! (Contrast orb of fire's bolt of fire having 31). Combined with its partial-irresistability, despite its meaningfully lower base damage than bolt of fire, a character with rC++ and 32 EV would be taking nearly *3 times* the effective average damage per flash freeze compared to someone with rF++ against an orb of fire's bolt of fire.
This changes Flash Freeze scaling to massively reduce orb of winter's accuracy (and also its damage to a lesser degree). It will still be more accurate than comparable bolts, but hopefully a little more in line? (As a side-effect, rime drake breath gets a small bit less accurate and a tiny bit more damage, but I don't think it will be a significant effect.)
Antaeus is the greater casualty in this, who to some degree relied on the freeze effect to catch up to the player, but that is slated for a change in a subsequent commit.

Split _artp_can_go_on_item into two functions
_artp_can_go_on_item was used to both control what artprops were eligible to randomly generate on a given item as well as what artprops *must* be vetoed for functional/implementation purposes. But by bundling these together, it became impossible to specify non-standard artprops (via itemspec or certain backend methods) for an item that would work perfectly well and just not *naturally* appear.
For instance, Noisy doesn't function outside of melee weapons (so putting it on a non-weapon doesn't make sense), but Fragile can function on anything and shouldn't be vetoed when forcibly requested on an item (and, in fact, could be paired with some 'slow swap only' artprops that are also vetoed on rings). So now these are split into two functions: -_artp_can_randomly_generate is used for 'soft' vetoes, preventing the artprop from generating on particular random items, but not overriding manual artprop specification -_artp_can_go_on_item should only be used for 'hard' vetoes, including conflicts with other artprops or things that simply don't work properly
There should be no functional change to normal item generation, but a few more possibilities are opened up for the future (including one used in the next commit).

Try changing Boundless Tesseract's activation condition, tweak slightly
While overall reaction to tesseracts, now that the dust has settled a bit, seems to be moderately positive, but one pain point in particular stands out: when the tesseracts actually activate.
Currently they respond to noise and stealth checks the same as any other monster (even if many people has ascribed custom behavior to them), and this works okay in *most* situations, but there's some opacity in when noise will actually reach them (ie: chains of monsters shouting can awaken it from further away than expected, and it may not be clear why this happens sometimes but not others), but also they will reliably get woken up by alarm traps (even from exploration - possibly as soon as one enters the floor!) and sometimes weirder situations like a passively made Jiyva jelly bumping into one on the other side of the level. In general, this can feel a bit arbitrary and unsatisfying.
So instead, this is an attempt to link the activation to something directly observable by the player and more transparent, while hopefully also not being gameable in as many ways as some other proposals: tesseracts now activate the first time an orb guardian is killed (and orb guardians no longer follow the player off Zot:5 unless the orb run has been started, so that the player is not *forced* to activate the tesseract on an unlucky Zot:5 entrance)
While it is technically possible to lure them away from the orb vault to another staircase, the fact that they are all patrolling (and fast) means that it's nearly impossible to 'cheese' anything in this way. Early alarm traps can still be nasty, but the player may have options to avoid triggering the tesseracts (and the orb guardians in the initial chamber have been nudged backwards to make them less likely to pour out immediately.)
In addition, since I expect the distance the player is from the tesseract when it activates to be shorter in the average case (and due to certain feedback about throwing/ranged weapons), I have moved the tesseracts one tile around the corner into the upper lung. This is far more gentle than some suggestions about giving them warding, since it is still possible to damage them at range from the back of the lower lungs (and with large AoE spells), but will require the player to expose themselves to a bit more danger in the process.
Finally, the total number of tesseract-made spawns on the floor is now capped at 100 (already rather out of control, but likely sufficiently bad that we don't need to make outliers even more absurd), the maximum spawn rate is slightly reduced, and it takes slightly more turns to reach it (1200 instead of 1000).

Rework Cassandra's death ambush effect
The on-death Word of Recall, while incorporating the floor Cassandra was found on in a meaningful way, had variance that a number of players found very unsatisfying - if a scary vault was on the floor, it was possible to pull very out of depth monsters (and if they were already awake, they might even act immediately). It's not clear to me that this was materially worse than a teletrap (and Cassandra's kill rate has not been outsized so far), but clearly not fun to a number of people, so let's try something else.
Killing Cassandra now creates several random bandless monsters (of the current Depth + 2) at some nearby distance that is out of the player's sight (but traversable to those monsters) and gives those monsters unerring knowledge of the player's location. In addition, all stairs on the floor will become sealed for a short period of time (to prevent the obvious answer of immediately leaving the floor and ignoring them). This should still give the player a scary problem to answer, but one that is literally incapable of damaging them immediately (and likely not for several turns), allowing the player some time to size up the situation and a wider variety of viable responses.
In addition, there is now a small chance that her amulet may be a randart with Bane on it. (While Bane does not generate normally on amulets, since there's not additional compensation on them, simply being an early randart may make it highly tempting nonetheless.)

Clean up spin_cycle and fix its gem hopefully for good (implojin)
With eee5569 as the most recent attempt to fix spin_cycle's gem issues managing to place multiple gems instead, I have opted to sidestep the vault's room rotation system entirely: both the Depths and the Zot branch entrance and the gem are now always in the central garden (as was made accessible via transporters in acbe401). This shouldn't be a problem for connectivity, since 9dbac83 handles transporters for level connectivity matters. The branch entrances themselves should be visible from outside, too.
(While I'm here, I've also re-arranged the header a fair bit and left some comments throughout; while it has been a relatively well-recieved vault over the years, it is also one of the most complex in its definition enough to require multiple fix-ups, so this should hopefully prevent more errors in future commits.)

Clean up spin_cycle and fix its gem hopefully for good (implojin)
With eee5569 as the most recent attempt to fix spin_cycle's gem issues managing to place multiple gems instead, I have opted to sidestep the vault's room rotation system entirely: both the Depths and the Zot branch entrance and the gem are now always in the central garden (as was made accessible via transporters in acbe401). This shouldn't be a problem for connectivity, since 9dbac83 handles transporters for level connectivity matters. The branch entrances themselves should be visible from outside, too.
(While I'm here, I've also re-arranged the header a fair bit and left some comments throughout; while it has been a relatively well-recieved vault over the years, it is also one of the most complex in its definition enough to require multiple fix-ups, so this should hopefully prevent more errors in future commits.)

Allow transporters to count for level connectivity checks (regret-index)
The part of map generation that verifies all critical parts of a floor are reachable (such as branch entrances) did not understand transporters (and in fact was performed before transporters were properly set up, so it couldn't see them even if it tried).
It seems to me like these should count for connectivity the same as anywhere else the player can walk, so now we set up transporters slightly earlier in level generation and allow connectivity floodfill to traverse them in a similar way that travel already did.

Thoroughly prevent acq from offering useless manuals (Midn8)
Previously it was possible to read acquirement and be offered a manual that was useless under your current religion, so long as your god did not actively hate the skill being offered. We had some code in place here to reduce the weight of these offerings, but the chance of players being offered e.g. an invo manual under a non-invo god and it being a good idea to actually god-swap for such a manual didn't make for a very compelling choice.
As mentioned in e7282f2625, this code is quite silly.

Fix FTILE not respecting tile variant weights (regret-index)
When FTILE was used to define vault floor tiles, it picked its tile variations completely at random, ignoring the weight values defined for them (and thus making rare variants much more common than they should be). And then, perhaps even more weirdly, when the game was saved and loaded, all those tiles would be sustituted for different ones that actually respected weights properly.
(Non-floor tiles seem to also not choose weighted variants properly in this function, and yet don't have this problem. Maybe some later point is updating those, but not floors?)

Let single-tile exclusions block destination stairs. (CrawlOdds, Darby,
riverfiend splats spriggans, Zewo)
For some reason single-tile exclusions on the destination side of stairs didn't give warnings or prevent autotravel while multi-tile exclusions did. This was done intentionally according to code comments but it's not clear what benefits this had.
On the other hand it caused several people confusion over the years when their exclusions didn't stop them from going into dangerous situations that they had marked.

Replace Psyche with Cassandra, the Doomed Oracle
Psyche was one of the last remaining uniques with little flavor beyond "Wow, I'm insane!". Her signature spell, Chain of Chaos, was also incredibly hard to reason about (either in terms of what it would hit, how many times it would hit, how much damage it would do, or what status effects it even could inflict - which still includes things like Berserk or full Paralysis that were removed from chaos weapons). The latter part could be somewhat ignored in practice because she simply wasn't very threatening, but all of that together doesn't make a very good monster design.
So let's replace her with another woman from Greek myth with a much stronger concept for Crawl: Cassandra, doomed to speak prophecy that no one heeds.
Designed as the first doom-wielding unique, Cassandra is a priest of Ashenzari who casts Doom Bolt and Swiftness, has Clarity and See Invis, and also a couple mechanics unique to her: when first encountered, she inflicts Doom on the player equal to half of what is needed to bring them to 100% (eg: she will take the player from 0%-50% or 70%->85%). When she is killed, some of the bad future she tried to warn you away from comes to pass: the player will be ambushed by monsters drawn from elsewhere on the floor (and recalled to places 3-4 tiles away). If none are left alive (perhaps because you dragged her upstairs), floor-appropriate unrewarding ones will be summoned instead.
The initial doom should make her doom bolts potentially threatening on their own, and the doom she inflicts should make the player reluctant to simply avoid killing her lest they suffer an even worse fate. But to sweeten the pot slightly, she also has a 50% chance to spawn with a random amulet. She appears slightly deeper than Psyche once did (since, while frail, she naturally scales with the floor she's on). I have not placed her in most sprints, since her death recall works poorly there.
(I would have been happy to remove Chain of Chaos and its confusing code from the game altogether, but it's still used by the Mace of Variability. It seems very reasonable to rewrite that to use something simpler in the future, but I've left it there for now, where being hard to reason about it is less of an issue.)

Turn Bane of Recklessness into a mutation instead
While 0 SH can be a very relevant penalty on some characters, it was the bane most likely to do literally nothing (and very little to many others; 3->0 SH is barely an inconvenience after accumulating that much doom). Such situational downsides might be more relevant as mutations (where doing 'barely anything' is considered fine), and now it can come with an upside as well: increasing two-hander damage by 15%! If life gives you lemons, smack life upside the head with a triple sword. 

98edc186fe | 2025-08-10 22:35:24 -0230 | DracoOmega
Further increase trove bane duration, convey this in advance
While the general bane duration increases will make these feel less 'free' than they currently do, I suspect it may still not be quite enough, so banes obtained from troves now last longer than those from other sources.
In addition, the prompt when entering such a trove will now tell the player how many XLs they will be cursed for in advance.
Hopefully this feels like a more equitable tradeoff for the (now fairly better!) trove loot.

Rework orb of stardust somewhat
While initial numbers for the orb of stardust effect were overtuned, rather than simply reduce them, I decided to try a slightly wider change in light of certain properties: namely that conjuring a fixed number of projectiles was by *far* at its strongest against a single target (potentially doing extra to encourage fighting very small battles and retreating often for the big burst damage).
Instead, the orb now conjures one star plus one for *each nearby enemy* (capped by a factor of your evocations skill). This means that the orb is at its strongest when facing a lot of enemies at once (while always '1 per enemy, at most', that firepower gets concentrated at the front, and potentially buys the player space to keep casting).
To retain the relevance of MP spent, the MP used to activate the orb now directly boost shooting star damage instead (by 25% per MP).
While (hopefully) a fair bit weaker than its current effect, the hope is that the dynamics this produces are interesting and the orb still feels like it rewards the investment.
(Since enemies with orbs of stardust will now usually be firing only 2 stars in the usual case, their star damage now scales non-linearly. For sake of clarity, Jeremiah now does 4d4 while Frederick does ~4d14)

Fix new orb of pyromania timing issues and tweak (Acrobat)
While 0dae1da fixed certain timing issues, it introduced new ones: explosions could happen with no more enemies in range if there were enemies in range at the moment the first monster died, and the explosion would happen at the location the player occupied at the time the triggering death occured, *not* when the explosion fired. Meaning that spells like bombard could knock the player into their own explosion, damaging them. This commit should fix that.
At the same time, I'd extended the effect radius from 2 to 3, while reducing the damage slightly. It's intended that it only work at 'close range' (a range closer than one's spells can operate at), but 2 may have been a little bit *too* restrictive. Let's try it like this.

Fix new orb of pyromania timing issues and tweak (Acrobat)
While 0dae1da fixed certain timing issues, it introduced new ones: explosions could happen with no more enemies in range if there were enemies in range at the moment the first monster died, and the explosion would happen at the location the player occupied at the time the triggering death occured, *not* when the explosion fired. Meaning that spells like bombard could knock the player into their own explosion, damaging them. This commit should fix that.
At the same time, I'd extended the effect radius from 2 to 3, while reducing the damage slightly. It's intended that it only work at 'close range' (a range closer than one's spells can operate at), but 2 may have been a little bit *too* restrictive. Let's try it like this.

A few notes: * While I'd like to use individual monster pronouns here, there are enough subject-verb-tense agreement issues and enough ambiguity issues when mentioning another subject (e.g. affecting attackers) that we're just defaulting to just using it/its here.
* "summoned" is left out due being already at the bottom of the default monster examination screen.
* A few other indicators of behaviour versus stealth, like "unaware", have been left out due to having many different ambiguous use cases.
* Some of Zin's Recite-exclusive statuses (e.g. mute, stupified, lost in madness) have descriptions but don't currently display in-game and instead use their matching regular status (e.g. silenced, paralyzed, confused). They are, however, effectively permanent, which would also be good to communicate to players; since Recite needs some review in general to be more parseable in possibilities, I have left these status description in just in case they do end up getting used.

Refactor a bunch of code related to local tiles mouseover descriptions
There was a chunk of monster description code seemingly used *only* for printing to the message log when you move the mouse over something in local tiles while *not* aiming anything (ie: if you are targeting an ability or had previously pressed x, it would print the same messages that console and webtiles sees, but if you had not, it would print something completely different.)
Not only did this duplicate a bunch of other code, but in some cases it did so in a way that produced obvious awkwardnesses like: It has been summoned. It is filled with an inner flame. It is summoned and inner flame.
It also attempted to print full monster descriptions to the message long, which are now far too large to fit there. (This may have made sense 15+ years ago, which was the last time some of this was changed.)
Now it instead prints something very similar to if you were examining the tile with x instead, and several methods of direction_chooser have been pulled out to faciliate this.
(This also improves how many different functions with confusingly-similar names there were, by renaming some and removing/replacing others.)

Clear custom tile flavors when ruining vaults
One of the things _ruin_level does is sometimes replace tiles with the feature type of a random adjacent tile. But this is done *after* the vault definition is fully processed, and if special tiles were applied to the ruined tile, it would retain them after the feature was converted to something else (which could, for instance, result in water looking just like the wall it used to be).
This is not the only place where features are changed post-vault-placement, but I think this bug was somewhat disguised by how tile redefinitions may simply be ignored if the feature is changed to 'floor' instead of anything else.
I don't think this is a comprehensive fix, but it's possible any remaining problems are only theoretical, as nobody has reported seeing them (and it seems hard to examine exhaustively).
This fixes #4695

Fix zot orb statues having no tile when searched for
For some reason, we were doing feature lookup by string (which failed for features with dynamic names, like this one) instead of using the feature type that *we already had*.
Looking at the original commit of 276b176 this code may predate storing the feature type, but it seems almost surely correct to actually use it now that we have it (ie: since at least 6 years ago...)

Fix some timing issues with Beckoning Gale
It did damage before moving the creature or printing a message, which would result in the message about a monster dying being printed *before* the message about what killed it (which would then also say that it happened to DEAD MONSTER, making the result further incoherent).
Now it moves first, then prints messages, then applies damage, (and finally applies traps at the destination, if the victim is still alive).

Make Deformed Body and talisman base AC modifiers stack multiplicatively
Currently they are additive, so maw (-75%) + deformed body (-40%) results in -115% body armour AC. This is capped at 0, so it can never actually *reduce* your AC, but is arguably not the best way for these to stack. (The current behavior also makes blade talisman take a moderate amount of skill before you gain any AC back from training it, if you have Deformed Body.)
Now they stack multiplicatively, so maw + deformed body results in -85% AC.
This also adjusts some potentially confusing information in the form properties table where the base AC listing considered your current armour but *not* whether you had Deformed Body, overstating the penalty (though the full AC change information at the bottom was still correct).
This fixes #4541 and #4535

Reorder a confusing message regarding Sprozz and meph clouds
While meph cloud confusion did actually reliably interrupt Sprozz casting Launch Clockwork Bee, the timing was such that the game would say they were confused by the cloud, then say they continued winding the bee, and then stop on the next turn.
Instead, print the winding message earlier in the turn. (There should be no functional change.)

Fix seismosaurus egg sometimes not hatching (MixedVeggies)
The conditions for this were a bit opaque, but essentially: if the egg somehow had a monster foe that wasn't in LoS of it, it wouldn't hatch - even if its normal conditions were fully met. Having *no* foe was fine (and it does not normally care about its own LoS, so long as its summoner has LoS to a target), but having any foe it could not see would be completely shut it down.
And there are a bunch of ways for it to get a foe that is out of sight, via pet targets. Obviously through ta but the summoner simply being hit by a monster out of the egg's LoS could sometimes set its target to that monster and halt its hatching completely.
There are a bunch of things in mon_special_ability that probably don't work properly in some situations due to this sort of behavior (and monster spells as well). I'd like to review and refactor some of that in future, but in the short-term it's vital that the egg behave consistently for players (and it hopefully now should).

Don't wait until the player is in LoS to regenerate Nobody's memories
When a large amount of time passes, Nobody will recover enough memories to fully regenerate, but this wasn't being done until the player was in LoS (and Nobody was aware of them), which could briefly result the game claiming they had few/no memories left and then appearing to spontaneously generate them as soon as they noticed you. Now, it should restore itself in a more player-indifferent fashion.
Also fix a minor typo.
This fixes #4673

Update artprop cache when the Toga of Victory grows
This is potentially the only case where the artprops of an item the player has equipped can change while they are wearing it, and failing to update the cache meant that the increased slaying and int bonuses would not apply until the next time it was updated for some other reason.
Since this happens on every equipment change and also every save (meaning every time the player changes floor) and many other cases, in practice a player was unlikely to be denied their rightful bonus for too long, but it would still lag behind what stats the toga appeared to have.
This fixes #4690

Don't trigger Stardust by using Sanctuary (Lici)
Not likely to come up much in a real scenario, since it would need to be your first use of MP in a given battle, and still doesn't result in penance if enemies are near you (since Zin suppresses all seeker hits inside a sanctuary).
But technically, if there's only monsters *outside* the sanctuary, they can fly out and hit *those* and give you penance. So let's just avoid that.

Refactor mesmerisation effects, make it Daze monsters (regret-index)
Mesmerisation currently has no effect on monsters whatsoever. Rather than being completely player-centric, a thematically appropriate effect that could be applied to monsters instead is Dazed (which also makes for an interesting anti-ally ability that isn't just 'abjuration', and we'd like more of those).
All player mesmerisation effects now also attempt to daze all hostile monsters in LoS of the caster at the same time.
I have also heavily refactored the spell code involved; siren song and mesmerise used essentially completely disjoint codepaths and there were multiple issues inolved: -Mesmerise had a tracer argument that was never used by its tracer, resulting in monsters casting it when it would be impossible to ever do anything. -But the tracer argument itself was bugged so that if it ever *had* been called, it would have irresistably mesmerised the player - even bypassing Clarity! -Code to reduce cast rate depending on whether the player was mesmerised or not had inverted logic for the two spells (Mesmerisation was less likely to be cast if the player was already mesmerised, while Siren Song was *more* likely to be cast if the player was already mesmerised; now they will both reduce cast rate only when all targets in sight are affected.) -The mesmerisation spell would fail to work on the player if the *player* was silenced, for entirely opaque reasons (this makes some sense for Siren Song, since it is a sound-based effect, and has been tentatively retained there, but no longer applies to Mesmerise) -And in general, both functions were *similar enough* that it was hard to notice or reason about many of their differences.
Both spells now use a single, shared function to handle their mesmerisation effects (with seperate code only for messaging and handling Avatar effects). Several redundant checks (like asking if the caster is confused) have been removed, messaging mildly improved for Mesmerise, and Avatars will be a little less picky about singing so that their drowned soul summon can operate even in cases where the player is otherwise unaffectable (they already ignored Berserk, but now they only care that a foe is in sight).
Spell descriptions have been rewritten (in some cases, mentioning properties that were always true, but never mentioned before now).

Make Orb of Energy scale with evocations, adjust Wucad Mu
Orbs of energy were a little underwhelming - sometimes useable, but generally considered not worth abandoning a shield for. Scaling their effect with evocations may make them more tempting to use. It reaches its current level of power with 4.5 skill and can greatly exceed it with significant investment (currently up to 45% chance at 27 evo).
Wucad Mu's effect is currently 'orb of energy x2' and obviously this would be absurd to double at this point, so I've given it something else. Leaning into both the monastic flavor of the wizlab, and how the named statue there drains MP, the crystal ball of Wucad Mu is now an orb of energy that has a chance to drain additional MP (and briefly antimagic) any hostile spellcasters in sight whenever the MP refund effect triggers. 

49353e1f95 | 2025-08-03 15:22:42 -0230 | DracoOmega
Make Orbs of Guile scale with evocations
Guile was by far the most successful of the previous orb designs, being extremely worth the tradeoff of a shield for specific playstyles. But it was also arguably *too* powerful - singlehandedly making an entire repertoir of spells strong the whole game long, reducing many lategame enemies to 0 will, and generally making it feel night and day whether your hexer found this specific item.
It is still a cool and exciting effect, and the situations it generates are interesting, but requiring additional investment may make its power level more reasonable. So, in keeping with the majority of orbs, it now scales directly with evocations skill - requiring 16 skill to reach its old level of power (though also being able to exceed it, for an even higher investment). 

7586918c8d | 2025-08-03 15:22:42 -0230 | DracoOmega
Make orbs more common
Finding an orb the player would actually want to use before they felt committed to something else was always a bit of a problem, and now there are even more orbs to choose from. While those orbs are also more individually appealing, it might still help to have a higher chance to find one earlier in the game.
(The code to do this takes a somewhat hacky approach, but our cascading probabilities for body armour generation are somewhat hard to reason about and I didn't want to take the weight out of items people were likely to care about.)

Fix Platinum Paragon's displayed noise (acrobat)
Bit of a hack here: Platinum Paragon doesn't use the noise set in its spell data. Instead, it relies on the default explosion noise for a radius 1 bolt::explode when it fires its shockwave. Fixing this properly would mean passing spell noise data into bolt::explode (we have multiple other preexisting beam noise hacks there already) but as I've not written any of this code I'm taking the easy way out and setting the displayed noise to match its explosion noise (which seems mildly less bad than adding another post-hoc explosion noise hack to the pile).
If you're looking at this in the future and you're like "Why wasn't this fixed properly?" I apologize for nothing. Good luck!

Gnolls offer a great advantage to newer players learning the game -- They don't have to learn about skilling while simultaneously learning about monsters and items. This advantage is large enough that gnolls are a common community recommendation, so let's try canonizing it.
This will probably spark off another community rehash of species ordering, and it's trivial to change these if we want to.
Here I've bumped MD down a bit because Mi still have the advantage of retaliation and more generically-applicable melee apts. The order is now: Gn > Mi > Mf > Gr > MD.

Tweak Tiny Tomes
The Tiny Tomes bookshop sells spellbooks with only one spell in them. With the advent of parchments, there's not really much of a distinction between those and a spellbook with one spell, except that the spellbook requires more keypresses to figure out what the hell is in it.
Rather than completely cut the entire shop, since people seem to like it, instead it now sells the second-tiniest spellbooks, with two spells each.
Also, lower the weighting on two of my spellbook shops, since their frequency was stepping on part of the purpose of parchments.

Don't set invis stab UI for firewood
Deeply silly to display a bunch of ?s and (can't see you)s for plants while the player was invis.

Don't give inhibited regen to Armataurs (mysticsailboat)
Apparently it's been possible for Armataurs to be hit with inhibited regen, preventing regeneration when enemies were visible. Given that Armataurs were rebalanced around having access to the core gimmick of rollpage, this was *really* rough for any game hit with it, and this should have been prevented from the beginning.
Sorry about that!
Here we do save compat in addition to making the muts exclusive, to help out any affected games in-progress.

Update to Android SDK 35
Starting August 31 2025, new apps and app updates must target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher to be submitted to Google Play.
There are two changes related to window insets in Android 15: edge-to-edge is enforced by default, and there are also configuration changes, such as the default configuration of system bars.
I'm also reworking the code to control the virtual keyboard visibility because it's a mess.

I am frankly amazed this bug went so long without being discovered, since it seems that it may have always existed!

If the player had no gear, but some other items, the drop menu would still default to an empty list of gear. Worse, because the menu had no entries, all keypresses would automatically close it instead of allowing you to switch to other pages.

Further adjust Kiku's wrath (Oneirical)
When b6bfbb2 reduced Kikubaaqudgha's draining wrath effect (from a range between ~23.3% to 40% max hp to a new range of ~16.6% to 30% max hp) and removed the ability to resist it via rN simultaneously (so an rN+++ character couldn't ignore a large part of the wrath), it made the wrath still capable of dragging former worshippers down to single-digit percents of their max HP (through the randomness of when the wrath actually triggers), but without very much potential recourse to handle such. Gifting god wrath should be dangerous, but even Okawaru wrath summons have more potential responses than this, so I'm further adjusting the numbers and adding another angle.
The new Kiku zero-tension wrath effect is mildly reduced at the top end, with a range of ~16.6% to ~26.6% max HP, and more importantly will not apply at all if the player is already drained for 50% or more of their max HP. In exchange, Kiku wrath now also directly inflicts 35% to 50% Doom regardless of whether or not draining occurred, as is somewhat linked to the undead between draugr attacks and mummy death curses. Banes are still reasonably rare to encounter currently (without entering optional / extended branches), are evidently currently reasonably survivable, and add to the strategic-damage emphasis prior; as such, it should be safe to emphasize these over the relatively conventional draining angle.

Fix tele trap + stash tracker interaction (#4613)
When moving into a teleport trap, If you revealed an item just before the trap was set off, the item would be missing from the stash tracker and its description when you examined the square that is was in would say it was the floor. This was because the map knowledge (which can be used to quickly lookup the top item the player remembers in any square) and the stash tracker (which stores all rememberd items) were getting updated at different times and were becoming out of sync.

The situation where a player cannot swap with their allies is a rare one, but often confusing when it happens (usually due to a pileup of zombies that cannot cross deep water and a player who can). Try to give a more specific message, along with a helpful suggestion.
(While it ordinarily would not be ideal to give the player advice instead of solving a problem directly, I don't think it would be appropriate for swapping to behave differently in this specific scenario than all others - eg: by blinking the monster away or displacing the entire crowd backwards - especially when it's easy to miss that one has gotten into this situation in the first place.)

Allow monster_unusual_items to hilight dangerous brands in some scenarios
Holy wrath weapons are wildly more dangerous than other brands against those they work on, and remain dangerous even into lategame. But they are also harmless to most characters, making including them in monster_unusual_items awkward. Some players have resorted to custom lua to add/remove holy wrath from that list depending on what they're playing, but it feels like this should be supported by default, so I have made the following simple addition to the option:
"vulnerable:" followed by the name of a brand can now be used to mark a monster as unusual only while non-immune to this brand. Additionally, it can optionally be used to specify an XL above which to stop marking the monster. For instance, "vulnerable:holy_wrath" will hilight monsters with holy wrath weapons, only while the player is vulnerable to them. "vulnerable:venom:5" will hilight monsters with venom weapons while the player is non-immune to them and XL 5 or below.
While unnoticed venom weapons are a common souce of earlygame deaths, the threshold at which they stop mattering is subjective enough that I have not set this by default, but "vulnerable:holy_wrath" now *is* default, since they are always very dangerous (moreso than most default-marked items, in fact!) 

71121d7308 | 2025-07-22 10:50:43 -0230 | DracoOmega
New command: CMD_EXPLORE_NO_REST
Causes the player to autoexplore *without* resting for their HP/MP/status to heal, even if those options are normally set to true. This is useful in multiple situations where the player is just a little injured, but wants to capitalize on temporary statuses like Animate Dead / Death Channel or temporary god allies, rather than rest up and let those expire.
This sort of thing happens somewhat commonly to certain characters and typically means having to manually explore for a while (even if you don't otherwise care where you go), so I think this might be helpful.
...it's not currently bound to anything since I'm genuinely unsure what reasonable default keybind is still available (I'm open to suggestions!) Though perhaps it's somewhat risky to end up anywhere it could be hit by accident since it is a button that bypasses normal 'safeties'?

* I've got some interest in making a new cyclops monster later this version, which inevitably ends up highlighting how CanOfWorms's Polyphemus tile added in de3053d isn't very easy to distinguish from the base cyclops itself. To try and help this state for the future, I've recoloured his cape and bracelets to hopefully stand out more against the default terrain colours of Shoals.

Fix a rare Nobody / shadow mimic crash (DewdropsOTG)
If you brought Nobody to 0 HP, triggered Pyrric Recollection, rolled for a Dith shadow melee followup, and Nobody landed somewhere still in melee range of your shadow, the attack would crash (since Nobody still looked 'dead')
Rather than check for this in shadow mimic specifically, I think it may be better to change the behavior of this assert (since there are several other things that can trigger it, and probably will be more in future).
Now, attempting to attack a mid-revival monster just does nothing (but still takes time). It's perfectly valid for those to be on the grid, so this isn't really a 'bug', per se, and doesn't need to crash.

Change how the drop/'i' menus work (various)
In response to repeated struggles players expressed with the current setup (which can map multiple items to the same letter on 'd'/'i'), this changes these menus over to a multi-paged model.
Each of the 4 inventory sub-types (gear, potions, scrolls, evocables) now display on a seperate page, which is accessed by left/right arrows. This means that each letter uniquely maps to a single item on each of these pages. Selections on previous pages are remembered (so the player can still multi-drop items of multiple categories).
Some downsides is that it's no longer possible to see your complete inventory in a single list, and using ',' to drop all useless items no longer works (you'd need to cycle through each of the 4 pages manually to drop useless items of each type). But after discussing this with several players, I think this is the lesser of two evils; hopefully this will feel more intuitive for players to interact with.
The implementation is a little rough, but a more elegant approach would seem to require considerably more menu code rewriting, and hopefully this can suffice.

Fix a crash with displaying floor items in some item menus (Kush)

Make Zonguldrok's reaping count as evil (#4655).
Since it's not a weapon, but armour that adds the reaping brand to whatever attack you're using, manually trigger the evil god conduct for it, just as we do with Damnation. But do this after all other brand checks, since it effectively gives your weapon the reaping brand on top of whatever brand it has.
NOTE: Regarding brands with manual conduct triggers, one-shotting a monster with Damnation, Zonguldrok, or a chaos effect that doesn't resolve to a brand that works on dead monsters will not trigger the appropriate conduct when it should, but that's a separate issue, and this change still brings us closer to the correct behaviour. Also, there's no warning prompt about potential penance when wielding Zonguldrok, because all the warning prompt code is written with the assumption that only weapons can trigger conducts, not armour, but that's also a separate issue.

Don't generate buggy mundane unrands (BlackTorch)
The 'mundane' itemspec tag causes an item to lose its plusses and ego *after* it goes through the normal generation process. But nothing (apparently) stopped the item from generating as an artefact before having its plusses/ego squashed. For randarts, this just resulted in a +0 randart with the rest of its properties intact (even its ego, since randarts don't store it in the same field as non-artefacts!). But unrands repurpose the brand field as their unrand ID, meaning that having its 'ego' set to 0 turned the item into 'DUMMY UNRANDART 1' (which would eventually assert since it doesn't have a colour defined...)
Now 'mundane' necessarily also forbids the itemspec from generating an artefact, which should fix these problems.

Blame the player for fewer actions by confused enemies (Acrobat)
The actions of enemies confused by the player are attributed to the player in many cases so that the player will still get credit for damage/kills done by monsters you confused. However, this had the negative result of allies also mistakenly believing that actions of confused enemies were being done directly by the player.
So, for instance, you could summon a tarantella, it could confuse a chaos spawn in melee, and that confused chaos spawn could hit it back and apply a debuff, which the tarantella would then blame you for and disappear (you'd even get penance if you were worshipping a good god!)
This didn't apply harmfully in all cases, but chaos flavored attacks in particular used beam code for debuffs internally, resulting in this issue. It is possible some other manifestations of this were also fixed in the process.

Fix a webtiles desync when a spectator joins
When a spectactor joins we send the full map data to the spectator that just joined and record this map data is the last sent map data. However, the player and any pre-exiting spectators might not have received this map data yet and as we set it as the last sent map data it won't be sent again until it changes. To fix this, make sure all the pre-existing clients have the most up to date map data before sending the full map data to the new spectator.

Various adjustments to Boundless Tesseracts
In response to assorted feedback (and noticing at least one bug in the original code), I have made the following adjustments:
-While a tesseract is active, there is now a status light indicating this effect (and describing it, for those who overlooked the monster itself). Its color grows more intense the faster the spawn timer has become. -Tesseract spawn rate increases more slowly with time, but starts slightly faster. (This is a nerf, unless one was very fast.) -Tesseract spawns now properly 'catch up' while off-level, so there is no incentive to rest there as opposed to on Zot:5 itself (but this effect is capped to 3000 turns, just in case someone wanders off to do extended in the meantime). -Killing a tesseract immediately removes all unrewarding spawns created by the tesseract (to help with overcoming extremely monster pileups in the worst case, and maybe making things slightly more satisfying to players in general). XP-granting spawns are unaffected (since it is otherwise impossible for the player to differentiate them from regular monsters). -Zot:5 comes with slightly fewer natural spawns (to compensate for some of the tesseract's output; if you kill them fairly quickly, there may even be fewer monsters in total than in 0.33!) -Tesseracts are a little more durable, but have a larger XP pool to grant. -The message for tesseracts activating is a little less emphatic about the need to rush (which seemed to be frequently misinterpreted by players). -Tesseract spawns are now attributed to the tesseract itself, for death attribution.

Prevent explore_auto_rest_status from resting an infinite length of time
This shouldn't be possible with default (or sane) settings, but the option does not exhaustively prevent the player from manually adding effects that do not expire with time (generally positive ones). In which case, autoexplore can wait so long for them to go away that the game will crash.
This is a bit of a clunky solution, but it prevents a crash-on-demand that also shouldn't happen unless the player is trying to do something very silly.

feat: option to make autoexplore wait while listed durations are active
Resolves #3210 from (laserbat)
Added new rc option - explore_auto_rest_status (LIST) Checks list and converts to known durations based on short_text and name_text.
Added two new duration_flags that signify negative effects and cooldowns that affect the explore_auto_rest_status_set option
[Committer's note: updated to account for statuses added/removed since this was first written, squashed two options into one, fixed several bugs, added handling of resting off badforms and magic contamination, allowed subtracting statuses from large sets (instead of having to manually specify dozens of effects just to remove a single negative one), removed inclusion of several statuses that do not expire with time, cleaned up unncessary flag changes for removed status effects and rewrote the options_guide entry.
I also made the option default to all negative effects, cooldowns, and magic contamination. I think this is the most sensible default for average players and only a very few will care about taking a tiny amount more turns on some unimportant things.
Note that the new D_NEGATIVE flag is used on a handful of effects that are not time-based or for which this option does not meaningfully apply (eg: Paralysis). But even if there is no present use of this, I think categorizing negative effects has future design applications.]

Add a Sentinel's Mark icon, display it on players by default
While there is technically a force_more involved with alarm traps since 0644d94 and a unique flash over the player for the spell since 82142fb, it is possible to miss both in the walls of animations, tiles, and text one can get on a turn, and it's one of the most relevant debuffs one can otherwise miss. With this new icon being enabled by default in the tile_player_status_icons option, it will hopefully be yet more difficult for players to miss it in a relatively non-obtrusive fashion.

Recent tile adjustments
* To help with parsing their outlines, the bottom fringe of reaper robes has been brightened.
* To help it be more obvious and more readily resemble other current vfx tiles, ostracism's bolt effect now has brighter highlights.
* To help with parsing each of them as traps and not new decorations or item tiles, archmage's traps, tyrant's traps, and devourer's traps now all use the same old trap plate / pit graphic Denzi used for many traps and which still survives currently with pressure plate + net traps. It's still a bit of a weird rift to have such a style versus the monochromatic ground-sigil types of trap graphics, but I'd prefer to emphasize such shared language over raising confusion between traps types as currently exists between teleportation trap variations and dispersal traps.

Nudge up devourer's traps
In line with 70c6c67 trying to make rarer and less consistent sources of corrosion be more effective so they're more noticeable when they do happen, and with the introduction of a corrosion effect doing more than 4 at a time, I'm nudging up devourer's traps to match the Corrosive Bolt changes: 75% chance of -6 AC and slaying, as opposed to ~66% for -4. They're far less directly effective (or anecdotally noticed) than the other traps of their quartet, but are also inherently themed towards a very late placement; as such, they can take the buff.

Responding to console resize events in menus was disabled in 9746042 as the way we were handling them lead to generating another resize event resulting in an infinite loop.

Ensure a Temple entry vault is always placed (staticshock)
In general, if an attempt to place a branch entry vault fails, the fallback simply places the entry feature on its own on a random tile on the map. But this is no longer adequate for Temple, as this means the Zot orb statues outside may never be shown to the player.
Now, when a Temple entry vault fails to place, it will fall back on placing the smallest possible vault (just the entrance + 2 statues) and if that also fails, the level will be vetoed entirely.

Variant orb vault distribution
A chunk of vault review accidentally not properly merged into eee5569.
Unthemed Zot vaults using orbs of fire just freely use whatever orb Zot has that game, vaults with mostly just orbs of fire as threats only place when said orbs are available, and old fiery / cold / negative energy and acid vaults are each adjusted to have a chance of placing their orb only if that orb is available. Most notably, this removes some old arenasprint monsters trying to make its own vault monster variants of orbs of fire, and adds the new cold and negative energy orbs to the corresponding ziggurat floors to correspond to the current orb of fire set.

This would happen when you had magic skills focused and a non-magic skill enabled but not focused with manual skill training and could also sometimes happen with automatic training.
Instead we should cap the skill point increase of all magic skills by which ever magic skill target would be reached first (as this target will turn off all magic skills).

Minor skill title refactor and two new titles.
Adds functionality for checking intelligence and form in skill titles. Add the "Herculean" title for high strength max unarmed demigods. Add the "Pinnacle of Evolution" title for max shapeshifting crabs.

Fix the Orb card (#4557)
Ever since 45c4a97, the Orb card has had the same effect at its lowest power level (power level 0) as at its highest (level 2), specifically a circle of 4-8 orbs of destruction around the player. At power level 1, it has always just fired a single orb of destruction. Prior to that commit, power level 0 instead cast the old version of Iskenderun's Mystic Blast.
With no suitable pure-conjurations-based replacement for orb of destruction these days, I have elected to keep the orb of destruction theme at power level 0. The effects are now:
power level 0: single orb of destruction using spell power = card power/10 power level 1: 2-3 orbs of destruction around you using spell power = card power/6 power level 2: 4-8 orbs of destruction (same as current) using spell power = card power/6
This should very much be a nerf to the Orb card compared to the last five years, and nobody has complained that the card is too strong in that time, so I think this should be fine. In any case, it's easy to fine-tune.
Resolves #4550.

Android: Fix crash when showing the system keyboard

Fix Frostbite and Condemnation using the wrong speech (ChoosenUndead)
Broken since 008097b (which caused it to do speech lookups including the plus on the weapon, find nothing, and fall back on generic weapon speec). Resulted in some jarringly off-flavor lines like "The +8 trishula "Condemnation" erupts into laughter!"

Fix a lingering chance for Zot:5 to be double-trapped (knorpule3000)
When 19588f4 tried to make it so both main entrances to the Zot:5 vault can't be cut off by traps, it neglected to use different floor glyphs than the rest of the vault, and thus accidentally left a very tiny chance for the vault's completely random trap placement on all floor tiles afterwards to choose spaces that weren't supposed to have traps. This should fix such.

Allow attacking hostile slime shapeshifters under J (#4518)
Jiyva currently doesn't turn slime-shaped shifters neutral, but would previously prevent attacks on them anyway. This behaviour leaves the player (temporarily) with a monster they cannot attack.
I have elected to effect this by not banning attacks on hostile slimes. This may need to be adjusted if there are other ways for hostile slimes to appear under Jiyva; I am not aware of any.
Fixes #4513.

When 19588f4 tried to make it so both main entrances to the Zot:5 vault can't be cut off by traps, it neglected to use different floor glyphs than the rest of the vault, and thus accidentally left a very tiny chance for the vault's completely random trap placement on all floor tiles afterwards to choose spaces that weren't supposed to have traps. This should fix such.

Allow attacking hostile slime shapeshifters under J (#4518)
Jiyva currently doesn't turn slime-shaped shifters neutral, but would previously prevent attacks on them anyway. This behaviour leaves the player (temporarily) with a monster they cannot attack.
I have elected to effect this by not banning attacks on hostile slimes. This may need to be adjusted if there are other ways for hostile slimes to appear under Jiyva; I am not aware of any.

Don't leak invis monster locations as a fungus (#4607)
When in fungus form and nervous (there is a non confused, non asleep, non batty etc monster in view), the locations without monster's are greyed out. This lets you know which locations have invisible monsters without having see invisible as they aren't greyed out. Instead, grey out locations without visible monsters only.
This does make it harder for players in fungus form to attack invisible enemies as they will be told that they cannot move when pressing a direction key, but this problem already exists for tree form and you can still attack with ctrl-direction.

Make custom Crypt:$ rewards into a guaranteed expensive shop
As a late, optional branch with fairly less item rewards than Elf and an uneven spiky difficulty, Crypt is often skipped in a standard 3-rune win, with only ~39% of such wins in the past four versions making it to the last floor of Crypt versus ~89% for the same of Elf. This is entirely reasonable, to a certain degree; variety in a win can also include skipping a branch entirely, and there's always concerns of indefinite power spiralling inherent to making it be particularly directly comparable to the item rewards of other endgame branches. Still, it'd be nice to have something in particular to brandish with it, as the lategame continues to slowly inch upwards in threat consistency and various uses of strategic damage point slowly closer and closer to Crypt.
There is, of course, something non-obvious already present for such. Back in bad0f68, the last floor of Crypt was always given thematic rewards, which was further nudged up with a 33% chance for a talisman of death in afdcd2b and a 31% for a sanguine talisman in 0754acf. This particular aspect of Crypt is mildly spoilery and mostly parsed entirely as coincidence due to the reasonable number of different items offered up as rewards in Crypt, as well as the small chance of a monster picking it up. To both make Crypt a bit more attractive and more explicit to the unspoiled, while hopefully not spiralling too hard into overly consistent rewards, I am taking a new approach to such: putting them all into a shop that appears on every last floor of Crypt.
Said shop contains much of the previous inventory at a doubled price mark-up, if with a lower ceiling than the previous high-roll of three free jewellery randarts + a free vamp weapon or the Necronomicon. It always contains: * One of the three rTorment talismans: sanguine, death, or granite. * Two of the following four weapons: * a high-tier weapon with vamp brand, * a high-tier weapon with pain brand, * a top-tier weapon with draining brand and guaranteed enchantment, * or a randart staff with a necro enhancer. * One ring randart with rN++ or an amulet randart with Regen+. * Another jewellery randart or a necromantic unrand. * A small spellbook with a level 7-or-higher Necromancy spell. * A shadow dragon scales randart, a tower shield with rN+ (with a 50% chance to be a randart), or an orb randart with a Necro enhancer.
Aside from making the previous rTorment talismans more explicitly visible for those looking for such before tackling extended, this should also serve as a reasonable money sink for how there's not very many things worth buying in the later half of the game without lucky bazaars or Gozag, in a fashion similiar to the success of the flashiness for `nicolae_hell_entry_big_baal_hell`. Most of these are reasonably self-regulating just due to their very late placement- necromancy users most likely want spells earlier than Crypt:3, weapons usually are enchanted up much earlier than this also (and there's no weapon type match guarantee), and there are obvious penalties inherent to the armour. It should, however, still be plenty flashy enough to hopefully justify itself.
(The shop also gets a custom tile to hopefully be more obviously more of a standout, and is compromised of white_noise's shop tile, Denzi's old statue pedestal, and ontoclasm's deck of dungeons icon. It admittedly looks a little silly, but shops look somewhat silly in general until one gets any used to them.)

Give vault-placed derived undead of uniques their proper names
This isn't something that should be typically done, but placing dervied undead of uniques (which multiple vaults do for the Lernaean Hydra in particular) resulted in them not getting their own names. ie: if you raised the Lernaean hydra, you'd get a '27-headed Lernaean hydra zombie', but the ones placed by the vault would just be called 'a 27-headed hydra zombie'. This one isn't terribly ambiguous, but if anyone (for some reason) ever placed a 'norris zombie', you'd just get a 'human zombie' with Norris's stats. Feels incorrect.

Remove multiple 'fake' monsters types used only for recolouring
The large/small zombie/skeleton/simulacra distinction was still technically alive internally, entirely to make larger ones a different colour. It seems overkill to need entire monster types to do this with (and made the code slightly more confusing in some places). Theoretically these monster types existed so players could remap their colours via options (options_guide.txt even gives examples of doing this!) but as far as I can tell, this probably hasn't worked in over a decade. It is now, at least, possible to remap the colour of both sizes simultaneously, as opposed to neither of them.)

Simplify Serpent of Hell melee
The Serpent of Hell used a system like hydras to multiply its first attack but the number of heads it had - but would stictly and always have exactly 3. This technically allowed it to have slightly more than 4 attacks per round and gave it hydra-like pseudo-cleave against dead enemies, but neither of these seem terribly relevant (the '5th' attack only did 15 damage!). It also made /?m lookup lie by reporting its damage as if it had only 1 head.
This feels like needless code complexity for an effect that doesn't even interact with the head system dynamically, so I've just baked 3 bite attacks into its attack table in the usual way, and slightly buffed the remaining aux attacks in compensation for losing one. It should be hard to even notice this change in a real game.

Allow undead hydra to attack multiple targets
For some reason, undead hydra were not able to perform the 'attack multiple targets in one round if the first target dies' thing that living hydra do. Maybe the original argument was that zombies weren't intelligent enough? But zombies are still perfectly capable of using complex flight muscles or coiling themselves around enemies to constrict them, so I don't see why this should be any different (also: I'm not sure anyone even realized this was a thing in the first place.)

Make custom Crypt:$ rewards into a guaranteed expensive shop
As a late, optional branch with fairly less item rewards than Elf and an uneven spiky difficulty, Crypt is often skipped in a standard 3-rune win, with only ~39% of such wins in the past four versions making it to the last floor of Crypt versus ~89% for the same of Elf. This is entirely reasonable, to a certain degree; variety in a win can also include skipping a branch entirely, and there's always concerns of indefinite power spiralling inherent to making it be particularly directly comparable to the item rewards of other endgame branches. Still, it'd be nice to have something in particular to brandish with it, as the lategame continues to slowly inch upwards in threat consistency and various uses of strategic damage point slowly closer and closer to Crypt.
There is, of course, something non-obvious already present for such. Back in bad0f68, the last floor of Crypt was always given thematic rewards, which was further nudged up with a 33% chance for a talisman of death in afdcd2b and a 31% for a sanguine talisman in 0754acf. This particular aspect of Crypt is mildly spoilery and mostly parsed entirely as coincidence due to the reasonable number of different items offered up as rewards in Crypt, as well as the small chance of a monster picking it up. To both make Crypt a bit more attractive and more explicit to the unspoiled, while hopefully not spiralling too hard into overly consistent rewards, I am taking a new approach to such: putting them all into a shop that appears on every last floor of Crypt.
Said shop contains much of the previous inventory at a doubled price mark-up, if with a lower ceiling than the previous high-roll of three free jewellery randarts + a free vamp weapon or the Necronomicon. It always contains: * One of the three rTorment talismans: sanguine, death, or granite. * Two of the following four weapons: * a high-tier weapon with vamp brand, * a high-tier weapon with pain brand, * a top-tier weapon with draining brand and guaranteed enchantment, * or a randart staff with a necro enhancer. * One ring randart with rN++ or an amulet randart with Regen+. * Another jewellery randart or a necromantic unrand. * A small spellbook with a level 7-or-higher Necromancy spell. * A shadow dragon scales randart, a tower shield with rN+ (with a 50% chance to be a randart), or an orb randart with a Necro enhancer.
Aside from making the previous rTorment talismans more explicitly visible for those looking for such before tackling extended, this should also serve as a reasonable money sink for how there's not very many things worth buying in the later half of the game without lucky bazaars or Gozag, in a fashion similiar to the success of the flashiness for `nicolae_hell_entry_big_baal_hell`. Most of these are reasonably self-regulating just due to their very late placement- necromancy users most likely want spells earlier than Crypt:3, weapons usually are enchanted up much earlier than this also (and there's no weapon type match guarantee), and there are obvious penalties inherent to the armour. It should, however, still be plenty flashy enough to hopefully justify itself.
(The shop also gets a custom tile to hopefully be more obviously more of a standout, and is compromised of white_noise's shop tile, Denzi's old statue pedestal, and ontoclasm's deck of dungeons icon. It admittedly looks a little silly, but shops look somewhat silly in general until one gets any used to them.)

Give vault-placed derived undead of uniques their proper names
This isn't something that should be typically done, but placing dervied undead of uniques (which multiple vaults do for the Lernaean Hydra in particular) resulted in them not getting their own names. ie: if you raised the Lernaean hydra, you'd get a '27-headed Lernaean hydra zombie', but the ones placed by the vault would just be called 'a 27-headed hydra zombie'. This one isn't terribly ambiguous, but if anyone (for some reason) ever placed a 'norris zombie', you'd just get a 'human zombie' with Norris's stats. Feels incorrect.

Remove multiple 'fake' monsters types used only for recolouring
The large/small zombie/skeleton/simulacra distinction was still technically alive internally, entirely to make larger ones a different colour. It seems overkill to need entire monster types to do this with (and made the code slightly more confusing in some places). Theoretically these monster types existed so players could remap their colours via options (options_guide.txt even gives examples of doing this!) but as far as I can tell, this probably hasn't worked in over a decade. It is now, at least, possible to remap the colour of both sizes simultaneously, as opposed to neither of them.)

Relatively brief vault review
Worthy of note:
* trove_garden's guaranteed jewellery is now always replaced with weapons for coglins, since troves aren't supposed to reward useless items.
* Elf arrival vaults now use less pyromancers (which are too weak and seen too early really fulfill the whole arrival vault notion of scaring newcomers away from the branch) to instead use more knights and archers. They also more frequently lack ORIENT definitions, to help more with placing more variable vaults in the branch defined by its vaults.
* The Elf:2 Hall of Blades now consistently forbids being able to dig a diagonal hole past the runed doors, instead of only doing this in one of its four layouts; while it was nice to tempt players into opening the hall up through leaving such an option open, it was awkward to try to fit into elven_hall_of_blades_hangedman_alternative, and Hellfire Mortar can repeatedly lower and raise the wall for rather exploitable behaviour now that it can shove aside flying monsters.
* Teleport islands in coc_mu have been handled through no_tele_into flags on two paths closer to the rune and through more shallow water for one reward island on the longer path. This should fix #4570.

Nerf marauder AF_AIRSTRIKE, bump up their XP again
In another follow-up to 062376b, this continues to try to somewhat nudge down sphinx marauders mostly by making their designs match more of other designs in Crawl rather than inherently diminishing their gimmicks. Their AF_AIRSTRIKE damage is unusually consistent in high damage compared to most other melee attacks in the game when in particularly open areas, which have turned out to be rather annoyingly unavoidable around staircases in Shoals. A chart of the current number range:
Spaces | 0| 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7| ---------------------------------------- Min | 10| 14| 18| 21| 25| 28| 32| 36| Max | 15| 19| 23| 27| 31| 35| 39| 43|
The new formula changes the low-end so they can still have the same highest damage rolls but around a ~20% average damage decrease with a fairly lower floor, making their damage per turn fairly closer to what much of the rest of Crawl melee combat makes people expect:
Spaces | 0| 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7| ---------------------------------------- Min | 4| 7| 9| 12| 14| 16| 19| 21| Max | 15| 19| 23| 27| 31| 35| 39| 43|
They'll always be somewhat terrifying in the way anything with both a stun and notable highr-roll damage can be, so we've got a lot of space to work with for marauder threat levels. They'll probably be more respected over time anyway, though to help this out, their XP has been bumped up again (c.f. faf1176) to make it over the threshold for XL 17 characters seeing them as lethal / red-bordered.
(This does nerf Sphinx Sisters a bit, but the spell has turned out to be wildly popular and successful for giving high Hexes investment another spell option for killing monsters besides checking Willpower, so it can probably reasonably survive some of a nerf to one of its two monsters.)
(As a consequence of these changes, sky beasts would have been nerfed a bit from their original state, so I've given them one more HD to end up with a lower floor and higher ceiling for airstrike damage than prior. Those will probably be fine in the long term as more players get used to their revised mechanics.)

Adjust Xom bazaars + Xom player confusion
* After having the odds for multiple Xom bazaar trips have been continuously lowered in 8b305a4, 5cebcaf, and 6874458, it is now rare enough to see another Xom bazaar for much of the game after the first that it has become rather awkward how random chance can end up making the first Xom bazaar too early for players to afford anything fancy in it. As such, I am mildly decreasing the shop prices in the equipment shop (the most interesting one) and moving up the absolute minimum of gold required from 777 to 900.
* Since Xom confusing players who can't immediately cure it can be substantially more lethal but is still quite iconic for the MuCK experience, I am softening the blow while still preserving the effect. Players who can't drink potions will be given Might of equal duration to the confusion (as a joke in and of itself), and the threshold of Xom severity needed to confuse other monsters at the same time is now broader (and thus more likely to happen for them).

New monster: kobold fleshcrafters, mostly for Depths
These new kobolds have a few seperate purposes. Much like chonchon in cfbbab5, these are meant to add a little more variety to lower-tier threat encounters in Depths, as is otherwise overflowing with many large bands of relatively weak threats. They're also meant to further add distance between V and Depths in much the same way as crawling flesh cages did in 5fdd244, adding very different types of mages accompanying ugly thing placements. Finally, they'll add a little more flavour towards variant constructs and chaotic flesh experiments, with the former more conspicuous now with Forgecraft, and the latter set-up for an eventual second monstrosity pay-off in the future.
These kobold fleshcrafters mostly are a little lower than individual hell knights in threat level, if with less notable resists or haste. They've experimented a little on themselves to stand out more dramatically by Depths depth, which includes rPois, 1 HP/10 aut regeneration, and a poisonous tentacle aux slap. Alongside passable damage with venom or draining short blades and long blades, they stand out mostly with their spells:
* Bolt of Flesh, another experiment in monster summoning conjurations. Unlike Flashing Balestra and Phantom Blitz, this irresistable damage spell both penetrates its targets (leaving the spawn somewhat far away from the player if they were close, but placing it behind them to cut off escape in corridor situations) and leaves behind a new type of initially-inactive firewood in the form of a new relatively-frail remnant piles of flesh.
* Awaken Flesh, which uses the produced flesh by both making them explode in a 3x3 with chaos-brand damage (without any friendly fire, akin to mechanist tempering) and arise as a large abomination with all three of the abomination buffs (haste, might, and regeneration). Aside from actually showing abominations being made as has been absent since the removal of Twisted Resurrection in b39fecb, this also is another loose experimental targetting arrangement, where destroying or moving away from the flesh will be somewhat reasonable, but the chance for it to explode and the likelihood it will hit one's allies both are more dynamic than other direct explosions.
They spawn naturaly solely in Depths, where they take a decent chunk out of regular very ugly thing band placement in smaller bands using both fleshcrafters and both tier of ugly thing. They get some mage and chaos vault placements across Depths, the Abyss, and some portals; most notably, they have been deployed in some Swamp vaults to try and trim down the absurdly large rune vault guest list for a branch that already has the most variety and most unique monsters of any Lair branch.
(Piles of flesh could probably be used decoratively in the Abyss just in-and-of-themselves, and another monster with Awaken Flesh and another means of spawning flesh is planned eventually. They should probably be fine for now as just bespoke spell components.)

New monster: chonchon, avian chaos sorcerers for Depths
These new rare mid-tier Depths monsters, Chilean and Argentinian transformations for sorcerers having their own heads fly off to wildly beplague others, have multiple angles of uniting flavour angles. They offer up a corruptive devotion angle and a shapeshifting angle that doesn't solely rely on the direct power of demons or the capacity to become undead. They add one last bird-themed monster to the Depths to try and smoothen over the weird presence of tengu as mountainous avians in an underground dungeon, and one more bloodsucker to the Depths to try and cover a little of how mixed the Depths are in themes between fae, giants, dragons, as well as the standard undead. They even get a unique nexus of combinations of several elemental themes- negative energy, chaos, and wind, all of which have little overlap with other effects.
These batty flying abominations, winged sparkling heads, have stats roughly comparable to spark wasps if slightly frailer, have a coinflip chance to be in a band of two or three, and have both a notable spell and notable melee:
* They occasionally slowcast Beckoning Gale, the low-damage repositioning spell used by hippogriffs since their return in f081bcc. While there's a lot of air monsters late in most three-rune games, very few of them use wind or even many total spells beyond sharing the same Lightning Bolt- this should help with such options and also be a dangerous repositioning effects to correspond with other parts of Depths (e.g. wyrmholes translocation) plus contrast with Vaults's movement constraining focus (e.g. beastmaster bolas and warden sealing).
* They also have both vampiric and chaos melee. The former is yet another attempt at making at least one pip of rN relevant for lategame, and the latter tries to find another home for chaos brand as was used extremely sparsely before the major revisions of 196b491 made it more reasonable to use throughout the game.
Their rather-uncommon placement in Depths mostly takes a bit of weight from several highly-common lower-tier band placements using monsters shared in other branches- deep trolls classes, tengu conjurers / warriors, and very ugly things. They're probably a bit more dangerous than each of these individually, but in coming in lower numbers overall, they'll hopefully only mildly increase the threat levels relative to the standard expectations of getting swarmed by dozens of bulky monsters at once in Depths. They also get a reasonable initial distribution across vaults themed around chaotic monsters, air, birds, or unholy mages.
Their tile is composited from griffon and raven tiles by Denzi as well as CC0 scraps by Surt. Their quote is a little less established a resource than many other non-fiction sources, but it is more than sufficiently scholarly, and it is clear non-English mythological names that may sound silly in English need some nudging towards their origins. (We've definitely got much stranger or less eloquent fiction quote sources.)

New monster: cognitogaunts, psychic ghouls for Crypt & Abyss & elsewhere
These new anthrophagic undead are meant to fulfill quite a few different niches. They get in the iconic notion of undead that actually wants to eat one's brains, without being particularly cliche in the treatment of such, instead connecting to offhand details about fallen stars in the descriptions for sun demons and starflowers. They get in more psychic enemies, a very limited pool mostly comprised of some Brain Bite and Draining Gaze users plus starcursed masses despite having a whole statue type dedicated to it. They also can help slightly smoothen the gap between the weakest enemies and bulkier enemies in Crypt, as well as help distinguish Abyss a bit more in its use of undead versus other unholy branches.
These cognitogaunts are `n` glyph monsters- a strange glyph of corporeal anthrophagic undead that stretches from bog bodies to bloated husks to ghouls. They're only a bit bulkier than plain deep trolls in their standard undead stats (and hit a bit less often than those), but they have have a few notable features:
* An incredibly high cast rate for Brain Bite- the same 32% chance daevas have, to be precise. Daevas have been successful designs for a long while for being very bulky and attacking both irresistably and consistently for small amounts of damage- while these aren't quite as bulky, they can experiment with some of the same mechanical purpose in a more common degree.
* Passable AF_CONFUSE and AF_PAIN melee attacks. These quite rare brands should still be straightforward enough to parse for their end effects being used elsewhere, but should still make it somewhat dangerous even after closing in on the constant smiter foe, also contrasting reasonably against the weak melee of brain worms and strategic effects of neqoxecs. (We _do_ need to come up with some mechanics that can reduce the overall hyper-presence of confusion in general, though.)
These replace skeletons in the Abyss, due to future plans for revising skeletons this version making them somewhat undesirable to attach to banishment; trading out an often fast or bulkier threat for something that constantly drains mp and damages at range. They also trim off chunks of weight from several plainer, weaker Crypt spawns: wraiths and shadow wraiths (which they're stronger than) as well as ghouls (which they're weaker than). Their starry origin flavour should help them be useful for future portal concepts, but for now, they'll just show up in Necropolis subvaults, slightly reduce the demon overlap across wizlabs, and help with a long-term goal of not using 30+ guests in the rune vaults of a branch with the most total monsters for it already.
Their tiles are comprised of coolio's unborn tile and CC0 scraps by Surt.

Buff necromancy monster pain weapons / brands (with other adjustments)
Pain attack flavours and weapons brands are quite sad in monster hands compared to its useability for players. Not only does the former check AC despite the weapon brand not caring about such, they also scale their necromancy skill to only the HD of the monster- something decidedly non-linear across the game that creeps up much slower versus the health and defenses of given players. As such, I am doubling the damage of the flavour and brand in the hands of monsters that know Necromantic spells. This should not be greatly notable but still less ignorable, and both marginally increasing the value of rN throughout the game as well as make it more reasonable to use in any new monsters' hands.
(Of the monsters that get pain brands any reliably, tormentor melee has almost never mattered, and neither has halazid warlock melee. This does make Grinder deal fairly more damage, though, so I have significantly reduced her regular melee damage and slightly lowered her spellcast rate; while this does mean higher AC characters care more about her melee, it also further emphasizes that any source of rN will squash her damage output.)
With a more prominent check of monster necromancy capacities being added, this also comes a tweak to make various monster-only healing spells no longer count as Necromancy (and instead spschool::none, like Trog's Hand.) Since the removal of Regeneration a fair ways back in 7e26dd5, the state of monster healing as always Necromantic despite regularly being attached to nameless gods or literal wood spirits has been quite jarring, and the spells have had a strange `not_evil` tag to even hide such solely for the sake of random miscast effects since 2bde065. While there's some flavourful components to having the good gods essentially be enforcing a monopoly on healing by labelling all other uses of it as necromantic / evil, such being unstated is rather unintuitive and non-obvious when the only player spell available for such is literally "vampiric". I have such both made quite a few monster spells count as not necromancy, and removed the spell flag as was only used for those.

Simplify glowing orange brains
Specifically, I'm removing their Brain Bite spell.
Their reworks to give them an aura of empowered spells plus the Cautious flag in 6fc613a (and to a lesser degree, their higher cast rate in d00db9e) has succeeded in making them quite notable, to the point they can afford to lose their least relevant aspect among many (the aforementioned as well as Shadow Creatures, Cause Fear, and Mass Confusion): it will also free up the spell for use on another late enemy, where it can be more easily noticed. (This does make them a bit closer to boggarts as Shadow Creatures casters used throughout the game, but the aura + cautious flag + fear already does plenty to differentiate them from the banding Invisibility-casting blinking monsters.)

New monster: crawling flesh cages, for V
Base ugly things are passable monsters in Ice Caves, Volcanoes, and post-Lair D, but deeply struggle to be any relevant past the Lair branches. The usage of them in V as old holdovers of late D and V both sharing many monsters is a weird fit both in V's themes and threat level. While the flavour of wizards leading their otherworldly experiments is neat (and contrasts well against the very ugly things in Depths), there's both plenty space to push the very-established concept further and also use less weak threats for the later parts of the game.
These new crawling flesh cages are `x` glyph monsters, a spider-legged cage crammed full of fragments of several ugly things. They're lightly omniresistant and between the two tiers of ugly things outside of decent AC, though they otherwise stand out for their unique and fancy attack brand: AF_REACH_CLEAVE_UGLY, which hits all enemies in a two-tile radius with one of the six ugly thing brands (fire, cold, elec, acid, poison, or now antimagic). Naturally, this is meant to represent a new alternative evolution for ugly things, and should be still relatively straightforward enough to parse otherwise.
(In particular, alongside the mechanist axes / tempering of 8605e2f, this is also meant to incidentally address some other recent character build matters; ally-centric gameplay has gotten quite the attention and buffs between new Summoning / Necromancy / Forgecraft spells, plus god reworks like Yred's and Dith's providing strong allies or support for such. Approaches towards such beyond repeating Abjuration everywhere are quite valuable for giving more texture and variety against such, and bands of cleaving, reaching monsters to attack large amounts of one's allies at once past the proving grounds of the first runes should help with that.)
(The history of reach-cleave monsters is also worth comparing here. The experiment of giving a similiar brand to fire elementals added in d94c9c0 and reverted in 3a05650 was removed mostly due to most uses for fire elementals (Ignis wrath, pre-Lair pyromancer summons, Azrael band warning members) definitely not needing a significant buff, even if most elementals in Elf are awkwardly harmless for the depth otherwise. Other solutions may come up in time for that case, but there is very little to worry about regarding plain ugly thing usage in V- those have yet to break five kills in the thousands of games dying in the branch each version. I _am_ a little conscientious about non-polearm monsters getting reaching effects, but we've let orange demons and snapping turtles do this for quite a few years, so people will most likely adjust.)
The majority of flesh cage deployment has been reserved to the Vaults, continuing to have said cages spawn as arcanist band members (dropping from 2-3 to 1-2), taking out another small chunk of harpy weight to rarely place by themselves, and replacing V:5's very ugly things to further the distance between V and Depths. A few portals at the same rough depth also get access to them as would be appropriate (i.e. no metal cages in Cigotuvi's). There are some arguments to make about their holiness, in a fashion reminscent of death cobs and profane servitors- for now, I'm opting for living holiness, an inability to zombify their whole cage, and LRD-vulnerability; it's a little weird they work with beastmasters but not peacekeepers or mechanists, but probably it's fine?
Their tiles are comprised of heavy edits to a CC0 cage by ETTiNGRiNDER, Sastreii's jorogumo tiles, and Denzi's original ugly thing tiles.

Teach purple (very) ugly things af_antimagic
Purple ugly things have been sitting on a very boring degree of mild extra damage ever since they lost the ability to induce sickness or rot back in cc162c0. (Hypothetically, they could pick up draining, but aside from being the wrong colour schema for it, it's also very awkward for Ely / TSO charming / summoning purposes for a monster to colour change into evil). Giving them antimagic corresponds with our regular use of purple-pink for many antimagic monsters as well as many non-elemental magic item icons, it can make for a little more potential vault flavour (dead wizards in ransacked labratories under the attacks of freed purple ugly things?), and it helps out how they've got a very fancy and prominent gimmick that hasn't actually been any notable past late D despite multiple upgrades. Let's see how this works out.
(To match this with this and the resists of other ugly things, purple ugly things get +40 Will and purple very ugly things get +80 Will, as is now supported by 129f5b2. As the obvious point of comparison, purple draconians get flat Will bonuses and the player draconian colour has antimagic in their breath attacks.)

Make Shred code slightly less player-centric
It would damage only enemies hostile to the *player*, paying no mind to the attitude of the monster actually casting the spell. Currently this is harmless in normal gameplay, as only the player can make diamond buzzsaws (and they cannot be charmed), but it had some unintended test interactions.
(And it's totally plausible that Diamond Sawblades will be implemented as a ghost spell at some point.)

Fix/improve a test slightly
moncast.lua created its second test statue in an unsafe way - by generating it at a specific place and then querying what monster is at the location we tried to create it - but this does *not* guarantee that the monster we find is actually the test statue. In fact, it is relatively common for monsters to be summoned by the first test in the statue's intended place, causing it to spawn elsewhere and some arbitrary sphinx to be selected instead.
The test now dismisses all monsters after each phase to avoid this specific problem.
But also: many spells would never be cast during this test due to the 'foe' being friendly to the casting monster. While this very rudimentary testing approach can certainly never ensure *every* spell is castable (several have very ideosyncratic conditions), it seemed to me that we could at least make a non-aligned statue for it to shoot basic damage spells at, which should improve test coverag.
And since we're actually regularly damaging one of our test statues now, heal it between spells to avoid it dying (which can trigger asserts).

Allow specifying willpower in ghost_demon struct
So that purple ugly things can get bonus willpower compared to other ugly thing types (in a future commit), but also allows things like future spriggan ghosts to have better willpower than other ghosts.
If ghost_demon::willpower is -1, it will be ignored and use the monster's normal willpower. This is used for loading any player ghost created prior to this commit and so that no existing monster using ghost_demon *has* to be edited or specify some amount of willpower.

Fix a rare crash-on-load with timed effects
Since timed effects are scheduled relative to the previous time they were scheduled (and not the current time), taking a sufficiently slow action could mean that the next scheduled time was still in the past. If the game was saved in this state, it would crash on load forever.
A better policy, I think, is to just process the timed effect multiple times in a single turn, if that much time has passed.
(I also made the assert into an error message, since the game continues to run just fine in this situation and it's not worth softlocking players over.)

Fix reversed Trog wrath logic (sekai, acrobat)
When b6bfbb2 standardized the tension + health check made in 7aa09ac, it accidentally reversed the logic for said Trog wrath, regularly vexing the player if they were out of combat and not summoning berserkers in most situations in combat. As such, I have set it back again to the original intended functionality.

Add an explicit, discrete frenzied icon
There's been some confusion about frenzied status being its own attitude behaviour instead of essentially neutrality plus berserk minus doubled HP, and the three seperate statuses shown (neutral, haste, might) all don't actually indicate the monster can't cast spells. There's a mild tangled history behind this, really- 0d004d7 actively decoupled frenzy from its haste + might effects when only natural monsters could go berserk, while 575fbe4 let demons and holies berserk for more distinctions between holiness categories and 070a2a6 removed the natural-holiness-only clause.
With no way for monsters to become frenzied without getting the haste and might effects, I am baking the benefits back into the status and showing a frenzy status icon + the neutral halo instead of also showing haste or might. We don't make berserk show both haste and might icons either, after all, and that one is introduced far earlier to new players. (To help smoothen over this transition, I'm using a minor save compat tag to remove haste and might from frenzied monsters for a single save update.) The new icon combines purge's and ontoclasm's berserk icons.

Take another stab at fixing a cursor assert

Give Vehumet's first gift on join (Kab)
Vehumet's always been a bit slow to offer benefits, and there's been debate over raising the starting level of spell gifts to 2 or 3 so that the first couple are more likely to be useful (see 602a2ca for one step in this direction). However, we do try to make most gods useful for a wide variety of starts, and raising the level of spell gifts might make Vehumet even less appealing for characters with questionable int or uh, melee deep elves (?).
So instead, let's let Vehumet gift the level 1 spell immediately upon joining to make it a bit more tempting. The timing of other Vehumet gifts is unchanged for now. Historically, gifts on joining have been considered "too strong" for most gods, but access to a single level 1 spell should be fine.

Remove an unhelpful assert
Since dc679cd fixed an issue that caused status lights to sometimes not draw fully, it is now possible for the cursor to end up just *outside* the status panel at the end of printing (if the last character printed filled the space completely), leading to this assert.
While it's possible to deliberately rewind the cursor afterward to avoid this, it's not clear to me that this assert is even helpful. Stat printing is extremely stateful and the assert does not record any of the state that may have led to the error, making it very cryptic to debug most of the time. And even in the worst case, the cursor being in the wrong place here would merely some visible display error that would likely be far easier to diagnose than a crash. So I am making an executive decision to just remove this assert altogether.

Fix a few resist-related bugs and refactor
There are a handful of cases where multiple beam types all check the same resist but have different degrees of resistability/secondary effects. eg: BEAM_THUNDER and BEAM_STUN_BOLT are both intended to have the same base properties as BEAM_ELECTRICITY and just be 50%-irresistable / cause ministun, respectively.
However, this meant that numerous places in code that wanted to behave a certain way for BEAM_ELECTRICITY-like beams needed to cover all variants individually and sometimes did not.
Most important manifestation: chain lightning was less resistable than expected, since BEAM_THUNDER treated rElec as though it gave 50% resistance instead of 66% (meaning that rElec reduced its damage by 25% instead of the expected 33%). But there were several other problems I found, such as: -Stunning Bolt and Mercury Arrow being similarly less resistable than expected -Stunning Bolt checking full AC instead of 1/2 as electricity normally does -Stunning Bolt not procing Qazlal's adaptive rElec -A lot of 'physical' spell projectiles not procing Qazlal's adaptive AC
There is now a single function to map most variant beam types onto a 'canonical' representation of that element: get_beam_resist_type. This should be used in most cases that we want any standard element-based behavior, to reduce the number of different places that need to be remembered if any new variant beam types are added in future.

Okawaru and Jiyva god wrath adjustments
While it'd be tidier to fit all of these wrath changes all into one commit, there's inherently so many separate complicated components here for rarely-seen effects that it is almost certainly fine to make these changes in a piecemeal fashion.
* Jiyva wrath now just immediately removes all of the Jiyva-unique mutations on abandonment, rather than having a coinflip chance on top of individual wrath effects to remove said mutations. This should be reasonably parseable as similiar to Ashenzari's own curse-shattering effect, and simplifies regular wrath actions as are usually the most notable complexities of the current wrath system.
* Oka wrath summons have been rescaled to have a somewhat gentler curve with a higher ceiling and more variety. While it's good for gifting gods to have very vicious wraths compared to other gods, it's quite absurd to the point of being completely unviable to throw impalers and javelineers at xl 7, titans at xl 13, and not have any further scaling than various giants past xl 21. This adds a variety of other non-unholy monsters that focus on melee attacks and not much for summons or debuffs, and should scale on nearly every level to be a little less unfathomable early as well as a fair bit more reliably scary when switched off for extended.

Tweak monster draconian Willpower stats
While it's a legitimately interesting role for draconians in Zot to have few resists in a branch with iconic heavily-resistant monsters, in terms of extracting some last few bits of value from a variety of lower level spells and various consumables, their low Will compared to monsters in the branches immediately before them is somewhat excessively exploitable since wands of charming / paralysis are reasonably available in large quantities by Zot.
As such, I am giving +20 Will to all draconian classes- enough that Hexes casters shouldn't really notice it, but more than minimal Evocations skill will be necessary for Hexes wands to have much effect.
(Meanwhile, I am reducing the base Willpower of monster purple draconians by 20, since player draconians had a notable drop in total Willpower and their 120 Will is still going to be noticeably out of reach for most characters without Sphinx Form, Guile, or spending scrolls of vulnerability. It also lets draconian shifters otherwise have keep their previous Will numbers.)

Tweak the layout of a Lair ending
When I reworked due_jungle_book to give it the current undead theme, an obsidian statue was added to guard a special necromancy-themed loot item. And area in an adjacent chamber was made transparent to try to reveal the statue before it would be reach via autoexplore. This is important to avoid an autoexplore trap into a mesmerizing monster that few players will be able to resist at this depth. However the revealed area both wasn't perfect and was visually awkward. This commit removes the transparent walls from the adjacent chamber and tweaks the forested area near the statue so that the statue is always revealed regardless of movement approach in a way where it can't affect the player.
Also the player now must actually step into a square where they can be affected by the statue to reveal the loot item. Most of the loot in the other chambers of this vault is revealed from relative safety, so it's nice to have some variation by requiring a potentially dangerous action in order to see the most thematic loot item.

Make Vehumet gifts evaluate Conj / Alch skill too
With the many new mid-level and high-level spells of 0.31 to 0.33, there are now both options to climb elemental schools without Conjurations skill as a main focus. There's also a reasonable (if limited) capacity to climb with Alchemy as one's main focus. Vehumet not being knowledgeable about either has worked out somewhat awkwardly with how many more total spells criss-crossing the spell schools has worked out; as such, this is an experimental shift to have Vehumet also evaluate those skills in terms of the suitability of a spell for one's gifts.
(If it turns out it's too easy to do an e.g. Alchemy character with Vehumet, we can do some more complicated spell evaluation after more testing.)

Buff the Faerie dragon scales
Faerie dragon scales being a mildly-better acid dragon scales randart in Depths is not very much of an incentive nor a distinguishing nature to it outside of the 5% chances for slightly unique properties like Clarity, +MP, or +HP. Its location is simply astonishingly late for characters to change their body armour versus having enchanted other body armour options up to that point. While power spiral concerns are always a bit of a conscientious issue, the last adjustment to this was in b633e9c nearly nine years ago, and we can afford another tweak to it after that timespan.
To make the fae stand out more compared to being a slightly modified randart, it now always comes with a Hexes enhancer (suiting the Enchantress it's found on, and not easily available with current enhancer options), the aforementioned properties have been pushed to 10% chances (nudged up to provide MP or HP in the range randart jewellery currently gets for MP since 8d0d2ce), a new 10% chance for an invokable Invisibility property, and a new enchantment range of +2 to +8 instead of +0 to +8.

Tweak the layout of a Lair ending
When I reworked due_jungle_book to give it the current undead theme, an obsidian statue was added to guard a special necromancy-themed loot item. And area in an adjacent chamber was made transparent to try to reveal the statue before it would be reach via autoexplore. This is important to avoid an autoexplore trap into a mesmerizing monster that few players will be able to resist at this depth. However the revealed area both wasn't perfect and was visually awkward. This commit removes the transparent walls from the adjacent chamber and tweaks the forested area near the statue so that the statue is always revealed regardless of movement approach in a way where it can't affect the player.
Also the player now must actually step into a square where they can be affected by the statue to reveal the loot item. Most of the loot in the other chambers of this vault is revealed from relative safety, so it's nice to have some variation by requiring a potentially dangerous action in order to see the most thematic loot item.

Make Vehumet gifts evaluate Conj / Alch skill too
With the many new mid-level and high-level spells of 0.31 to 0.33, there are now both options to climb elemental schools without Conjurations skill as a main focus. There's also a reasonable (if limited) capacity to climb with Alchemy as one's main focus. Vehumet not being knowledgeable about either has worked out somewhat awkwardly with how many more total spells criss-crossing the spell schools has worked out; as such, this is an experimental shift to have Vehumet also evaluate those skills in terms of the suitability of a spell for one's gifts.
(If it turns out it's too easy to do an e.g. Alchemy character with Vehumet, we can do some more complicated spell evaluation after more testing.)

Buff the Faerie dragon scales
Faerie dragon scales being a mildly-better acid dragon scales randart in Depths is not very much of an incentive nor a distinguishing nature to it outside of the 5% chances for slightly unique properties like Clarity, +MP, or +HP. Its location is simply astonishingly late for characters to change their body armour versus having enchanted other body armour options up to that point. While power spiral concerns are always a bit of a conscientious issue, the last adjustment to this was in b633e9c nearly nine years ago, and we can afford another tweak to it after that timespan.
To make the fae stand out more compared to being a slightly modified randart, it now always comes with a Hexes enhancer (suiting the Enchantress it's found on, and not easily available with current enhancer options), the aforementioned properties have been pushed to 10% chances (nudged up to provide MP or HP in the range randart jewellery currently gets for MP since 8d0d2ce), a new 10% chance for an invokable Invisibility property, and a new enchantment range of +2 to +8 instead of +0 to +8.

Somewhat standardize and simplify a few more god wraths
As elaborated upon with the last god wrath change of 7aa09ac, many god wraths are antiquated designs that are easily rested out. With the improvements to tension tracking, I'm deploying a standardized tension check (plus a sanity clause of an HP check) to reduce the effectiveness of resting out a variety of god effects, trying to preserve distinct effect flavour + reducing waiting out wraths + focusing long lists towards a simpler or more concentrated pool in general.
* Fedhas wrath no longer deploys direct damage (either boringly irrelevant or extremely dissatisfying in its results) via spells or giant spore and instead checks tension to apply Fungus / Tree transformations (both highly appropriate and relatively rare in hostile circumstances). The oklob spawning effect also no longer preserves the very old and very complicated Reproduction code to instead just place fuller rings of briars around the player alongside oklobs in a loose 2-to-5 space radius around the player.
* Jiyva wrath no longer transforms the player; Jiyva's wrath is already so heavily focused on strategic penalties that such wrath doesn't really need transformations distinctly not very slimy in form.
* Kikubaaqudgha wrath no longer randomly torments (as is no longer Kiku's big invocation nor much easy to make satisfyingly relevant) and no longer checks rN to be thus fully resistable. The wrath now just uses the new tension check to either apply a short xl-scaled Sign of Ruin effect or drain for somewhat less than previously.
* All gods besides the good gods, instead of currently just Lugonu, no longer permit rejoining them if one is already under their wrath. This prevents some strange exploits like abandoning Jiyva to kill TRJ and grab Slime:$ rewards without active item-eating slimes, then rejoining Jiyva who is otherwise kept alive during wrath. (The good gods already have weird wrath rules as is, so this shouldn't be too much of an outlier, and they'd never permit rejoining under such rules without deliberately joining a forbidden god to actively get their wrath.)
This is only a small part of future total god wrath plans- with more passive effects, some reliance on potential new mechanics, more tension and space checks to avoid resting out wrath, and more- but it deals with a handful of more obviously exploitable matters, if nothing else.

First new vault review for 0.34
Highlights:
* The master elementalist now spawns with two pieces of Will+ equipment regardless of whether or not the Elemental Staff has spawned already. It also now spawns in arenasprint.
* With the winrate of this tournament looking a little lower than the past tournament, I've taken another tour over some outlier branch entry vaults, branch end vaults, and portal layouts to nerf the most dangerous of each. (Most obviously out of any of these includes putting the moths of wrath in pre-Lair Necropolis ghost vaults behind grates instead of letting them roam freely, since they're reasonably strong as regular attacking enemies at that depth).
* To continue to stab at the perpetual concerns of killhole tactics or shouting luring, and the new concern of Hellfire Mortar crushing single-tile corridor-entrance vaults for lategame branches with few dangerous flying enemies, I've taken some more steps towards making more Elf:3 vaults contain longer, wider empty paths out of the main enemy chamber that are also frequently split. This might require some more monitoring in the future in terms of death statistics (maybe with some mild edits for a little less elves on average?), but I'd like to see how the initial tactics shift first.
* Negative energy ziggurat sets now use laughing skulls, slightly more shadow dragons, and halazid warlocks, while no longer using phantasmal warriors and less total eidola. This is meant to hue it a bit closer towards the negative energy theme instead of being a repeat of other undead branch floor themes, and help its position as being notable through player ghosts through getting in a player ghost summoner.
* A new very rare summoners ziggurat set has been added to contrast against the conjurers set. While it's not the most lethal for megazig divers, few sets can, and it's nice to have a bit more variety with a mechanically silly theme that isn't so hard tied to one branch (with brains and halazid warlocks summoning corrupters and nekomata).

Nudge reaper flavour away from being skeletal
Reapers looking like cloaked skeletons yet being tiered demons is somewhat awkward for several category checks; a reaper looking undead yet not counting as undead is somewhat understandable (the Grim Reaper isn't literally someone's random skeleton!) if rife for confusion, but a skeletal figure not being deconstructible is against what most people would expect. To address both fronts and help them come off as more obviously non-brittle demons, I've given them a new floating tile by mixing together their current tile by CanofWorms with ontoclasm's lorocyproca tile and making them less bone-white; for bonus points, this also adds another main-weapon-less tile for the sake of Tukima's and tendrils. (This new tile ends up making them look like they're flying, so they've also gained flight and a corresponding further small nerf to their scythes in ice caves.)

Increase stun immunity duration post-Vex
A variety of people have been severely wrecked by sphinx marauders since their addition, and while this has been good for punishing those ignoring their central gimmicks + raising the value of Will in Shoals as differentiates it from Swamp (though people still undervalue it versus fenstriders, strangely enough). It is, however, admittedly quite frustrating to foreground more stuns in the game, especially on a monster that does some of the most reliable high damage in the game through AF_AIRSTRIKE.
The stun immunity duration granted after Vex was set to the same duration as the one after Paralysis (1 to 3 turns), and to reduce the rather severe low-rolls a player could experience in being Vexed again immediately afterwards (and to match how it's longer than Paralysis itself), I am instead setting it to the same duration granted after Sleep (3 to 5 turns). This should still leave marauders plenty dangerous overall with the first Vex plus their AF_AIRSTRIKE damage, but prevent the worst scenarios of being vexed, drinking enlightenment or putting on a Will+ ring, and then being vexed again while the sphinx is much closer to result in a rapid death for frailer characters.
(This also technically affects Dominate Undead for undead player characters, but the spell's already quite nasty as is even in its current limited usage due to the full screen effect, and bloodprinces have Grave Claw to terrify the non-poltergeists with.)

Adjust a few more positive mutations
* With the six new far-more-interesting and reasonably strong positive mutations added to the pool, I'm removing the capacity to mutate Fur on all species that don't innately have some levels of it (so, everybody but Felids and Trolls). We removed a lot of scales from non-demonspawn as part of simplifications in 66c8afc, and Fur was always very similiar to them (takes to level 3 to grant a resist, and otherwise only gives tiny amounts of AC) aside from not having the mutually-exlusive system. With it being very rare for non-Jiyva / demonspawn to see a third level of a mutation and it being very dull + weaker versus the newer mutations otherwise, it should be fine to diminish said mutation's prevalence.
* With far more directly beneficial options of increases to offenses or defenses available in the newer mutations, the Passive Mapping / Sense Surroundings mutation is a fairly indirect and unimpressive benefit. When combined with the inconsistency in getting 3 levels of mutations, and their removal from being passives built into any present species, I am thus compressing the mutation to two levels, to match the compression of other difficult-to-quantify mutations back in b963882, 0d03ebd, and 7753eea. (The first level provides as much as two levels would previously grant, and the second level grants as much as a previously-unavailable fourth one would. It's admittedly pretty dramatic and mighr encourage annoying behaviour to examine out of LOS like Ashenzari did before 3015b45, but this was already present behaviour before, and it hopefully should be fine mostly in the mutation being much rarer than the god.)

New mutation: gain mild HP & mp when killing poisoned / drained foes
This new positive mutation is meant to try and entice characters towards different skill investments and less popular weapon choices, without directly looking at aptitudes, damage output, or spellpower and spell success itself. Said mutation, called "Feed Off Suffering" in-game, has two levels dependent on the HD of the monster killed:
* level 1: 50% chance to heal (1 to 1 + (HD / 3)) HP and MP * level 2: 75% chance to heal (2 to 2 + (HD / 3)) HP and MP
This uncommon mutation doesn't require killing via poison or draining damage directly, just that they have the status at the time of their death. It's tuned lower than TSO, Makhleb, or Vehumet, since these are more committal god choices, but unlike any of those three it works with ally kills as well as player kills so walking alembics and channeled spectres both can assist players. The conditions have some reasonably different if usefully overlapping means to access it, including:
* poison / draining / chaos / reaping weapon brands (which mostly aren't very popular and can get a rare nudge), * Jinxbite and Death Channel (relatively solid spells that can work for caster hybrids), * many Alchemy spells (which might rarely interestingly tempt purer mages to shift their spells skills towards the school), * and a small portion of choosable god allies, like ancestors, apostles, and bound souls (all of which can contribute to having even more choice criteria).
It'll inevitably have some fall-off over the course of the game as more unholy and non-living monsters appear near the end of it, but it's safer for an otherwise potentially strong mutation like this to have its weakpoints. Whether or not this succeeds at being useful or it gets ignored on the regular will have to be seen over a long span of time, though there are many knobs to tweak on it if necessary.

New mutation: +Dam & +EV scaled to non-innate mutation count
This new very rare positive mutation, "protean grace" in-game, is meant to fufill the aforementioned notion of more high-roll positive mutations in another focused fashion; it makes both weaker positive mutation and less-awful negative mutations still come with some upside, and tempt the mildly mutated to drink another potion of mutation to amplify the bonus. (It is extremely regulated currently by how potions of mutation first remove 2 or 3 mutations and then give 1 to 4 mutations with a mutations/15 chance to remove a mutation instead; it's rather unlikely without other mutations sources to get above 5 mutations in practice, and fairly more likely to stay around 2 or 3.) The bonuses are chosen for both being minimally available from mutations (Slay+ only via one demonspawn mutation, +EV only from one demonspawn and one Jivya mutation) as well as being useful to most characters to offset the other conditions present.
In terms of what they track, species traits, form attributes, and Ru sacrifices all are not counted, but demonspawn mutations, Jiyva or Xom gifts, and Makhleb destruction flavours + Marks are counted. Both good mutations and bad mutations alike are counted, and it tracks discrete mutations rather than mutation levels; having Protean Grace, Robust 2 and Claws 3 only grants three slaying / evasion. To avoid this being disproportionately excessive with demonspawn, Jivya, or wretched star sightings, this has a soft cap of halved benefits above 7 non-innate mutations.
This mutation is fairly more risky than the other positive mutations added recently or currently, but the cap and stat bonuses both can be adjusted if it needed. If nothing else, it'll at least be quite exciting, especially for demonspawn and Makhleb worshippers.

New mutation: doubled potion durations
As a much-delayed follow-up to 9235b1e, 9303715, and a98c639, this commit kicks off another batch of new positive mutations. These are meant to add more interest and more high-roll possibilities beyond resists or flat stats, which should hopefully make mutation roulette more varied and tempting, as well as make up for the inherent lack of control one has over curing bad mutation currently via potions of mutation.
This rare mutation repurposes some of the old functionality of armataur tongues as was simplified and refocused in afeb8ed towards healing potions for Oni. (It's flavoured as "efficient metabolism" rather than a long tongue mostly for the sake of formicids and shapeshifting.) Much like said focus, this mutation focuses the effect to be very specific instead of needing explicit clarifications or categorizations, in affecting the majority of potions (if not the strategic or healing ones) by doubling the duration of buffs (and debuffs) they grant. (There is a bit of a shame in not supporting even further high-rolls with potions of experience, but the simplicity of this mutation compared to the special cases across old armataur tongues hopefully feels worth the cost of losing such). With essentially every character benefitting from using potion buffs before engaging with uniques or branch end vaults, this should be reasonably valuable and distinct without being particularly complex or burdensome, while also still being reasonably capped in power by the number of potions that drop per game.
(The implementation of this also adjusts several status caps for being relatively arbitrary- considering ambrosia, attraction, enlightenment, lignification, and resistance don't have caps, I'm not sure why might and brilliance need caps on their effects either. This also increases the cap on haste from 40 to 80, with potions of haste properly outlined as giving 26-40 deca-auts of haste instead of a previous 40-79 being changed to 26-52 followed by a cap of 40 due to the strange handling a long whiles ago in 13d70d82c4. These alltogether are a little bit more power to Gozag Potion Petition (which has gotten an adjusted description to suit the various interactions it doesn't actually have), which can be corrected in other ways if needed, but being more consistent across more potion effects is a better position to be starting from.)
(The icon for this mutation modifies ontoclasm's standard potion tiles.)

Fix a crash with getting vengeance upon a dismounted rider (Sergey)
If the kill caused by dismounting a rider that was marked for vengeance by Beogh *cleared* that vengeance, the new monster would still be marked (and killing it would assert, since that's not supposed to happen.)
This is a result of the mount/rider copying all enchantments of the original, but the vengeance enchantment of the original *not* being cleared with every other monster, since monster_iterator can't see it (because it's dead).
Instead, don't decrement vengeance on mount kill at all, and require the player to kill both things to count for one.

Fix Necropolis only being able to generate once per game (ge0FF)
It was intended that Necropolis be able to generate three times per game: -Up to one in D, Lair, Orc -Up to one in S-branches and Vaults -Up to one in Elf, Depths, Crypt
But the way that uniq_ tags to do this were applied didn't work properly. The tags were being set when the vaults were first parsed at game start, resulting in them all being given the *same* uniq_ tag. Merely changing to add the tag only when the game had actually started also failed, since the automatic veto for uniq_ tags was done *before* the tag was added to the vault.
To work around this, use a custom veto for Necropolis entry vaults that checks the appropriate uniq tag manually (since it was still remembered by the game, just not *checked* before a vault was select to place).

Fix hellfire mortar being able to dig through temp terrain (Back-form)
When an effect digs through or otherwise destroys temporary terrain, it is supposed to revert back to the original terrain (unless that original terrain could be destroyed by the same means). This is to prevent, for instance, turning a metal wall into a tree with Summon Forest and then digging through that tree.
But due to some oddities in Hellfire Mortar's own digging code (and the fact that digging *tracers* didn't follow the above rule), it *could* dig through any sort of wall which had been turned into a tree. Now, hopefully, it will not.

Currently, the "You feel your existence waver again." message interrupts the rest and move actions. These messages happen constantly when the player uses hexes or a draining/chaos-branded weapon, so let's make them less disruptive.

Fix joining Ignis sometimes giving incorrect piety (Back-Form, Darby)
Whenever a player lost piety with *any* god (even via passive decay), it would set the amount of piety they would get from joining Ignis to whatever their current piety was with their current god. (ie: if you had high piety with some other god, lost a point for any reason, and then switched to Ignis, you would have the same amount of piety you had with your previous god.)

Fix hellfire mortar being able to dig through temp terrain (Back-form)
When an effect digs through or otherwise destroys temporary terrain, it is supposed to revert back to the original terrain (unless that original terrain could be destroyed by the same means). This is to prevent, for instance, turning a metal wall into a tree with Summon Forest and then digging through that tree.
But due to some oddities in Hellfire Mortar's own digging code (and the fact that digging *tracers* didn't follow the above rule), it *could* dig through any sort of wall which had been turned into a tree. Now, hopefully, it will not.

Move Sprozz slightly shallower

Update ghost permastore
The ghost permastore has not been updated in over 6 years and contained many ghosts from removed species, knowing removed spells (and without any representation of spells added since then).
With Necropolises being a major feature of this release, it felt like time to get them some modern ghosts. These files are merged together from snapshots taken from CDI, CAO, CPO, CRB2, CXC, and CNC (thanks to all the respective server admins for providing them), with a handful of inappropriate names manually removed.
Crypt and Zig still had a very small number of ghosts despite all these servers (~25 each), so I opted to merge Depths ghosts into Crypt and Pan ghosts into Zig so that the pool would not be conspicuously small (perhaps especially noticable in Zig ghost floors).
Early floors rapidly hit the ghost cap of 127 per bones file, meaning server representation there is biased towards what was merged together first (and this also prevents trying to get a more diverse spread of player backgrounds.). It would be nice to have a better system for doing this in future, but this is hopefully still a reasonable modernization to what we currently ship with offline builds.

Give spell-exclusive allies xp values
Quite a few spell-exclusive allies (cactus giants and most Forgecraft spells) lost any generaation of experience point values when fa0adff set only explicit values for most monster experience calculations. However, tension calculations rely on having experience values for one's allies as well as one's enemies. As such, even though the majority of these monsters are extremely unlikely to ever be used outside of being summoned, I've put together a bunch of quick values for these allies, somewhat arbitrarily based off of the xp values of monsters from Summoning spells corresponding to the equivalent spell level and the number made. (This also includes removing `no_exp_gain` flags from the mobile constructs, which was a holdover tag from before all the summoning rewrites anyway.)

Prompt before starting a multi-turn equipment change with nearby hostiles
At some point in past, the game would *effectively* prompt you about this (and still gives the chance to interrupt if a monster comes *into* sight), but sometimes this still catches players off-guard when they try to do mid-fight slow swaps (for instance, swapping to a two-hander with a shield equipped, without thinking about how this requires taking the shield off first).
This uses similar logic that already existed for using talismans near enemies, whenever the player tries to swap gear that would take multiple turns to complete.

Improve messaging for Vexed enemies in some case (ge0FF)
Vexed enemies without attacks will no longer claim to 'attack' nearby empty spaces, nor print no messages if they try to actually attack a nearby actor (which did nothing, and didn't even pass their turn).
Flying enemies now have a 50% chance to attack the ceiling instead of the floor, when targeting empty space. (This is purely a flavor thing.)

Pre-reveal Gauntlet floors (aside from the minotaur area)
This has been a long-requested QoL improvement, which was only deferred due to not wanting to pre-reveal the minotaur's area (which is *intended* to remain secret.) But now the no_automap tag can be added to vaults, which prevents them from being revealed by brflag::fully_map. This is used here to mask off the minotaur's subvaults, while revealing the rest of Gauntlet.

While brflag::fully_map was intended to reveal the entire map upon entering a branch, there was weird behavior regarding monsters and items. Namely that fully mapping would give the player map knowledge of all monsters and items on some level (such as adding mapped tiles to the stash tracker), but *not* update some other things, including the display. This meant that you would initially see no items or monsters, but those monsters would appear once the tile entered LoS range *whether or not it was in LoS*. ie: plants could suddenly appear on the other side of walls, as the player approached them. Saving and loading the game would reveal all of this instantly.

Give old naga/barachi/spriggan ghosts non-10 movespeed
Since e3b193e player ghosts and illusions actually retain their natural movespeed, but ghosts from versions older than this will have had it marshalled as 10. And even after the ghost permastore is updated, it will likely contain a mix of ghosts who died before and after this change.
So, for ghosts who died before this change, make these species default to the 'standard' move speed for those species. This does not account for, say, wearing ponderous gear, but that's a fairly minor thing.

Remove some worse-than-useless wizmode code for placing player ghosts
Playing a player ghost in wizmode would prompt the user to specify a species and job for that ghost, but it had *already decided* by this point in time what ghost it was placing and would just replace its listed species and job with whatever you said - ie: make the ghost lie to you.
And then, on top of that, it always set their XL to 7 and HP to 20! (And clobbered their name, too.)
So just remove all this code entirely. Now placing a player ghost will simply place a random available ghost from the current floor. (It might be nice to be able to specify what sort of ghost to pull up from the ones that actually exist, but doing literally nothing is better than doing whatever this was doing....)

Form gargoyle tiles, serpent form tile tweaks
Since 6e34e43, gargoyles are all canonically stony when merely changing anatomy in a form and have wings when only changing substance in a form. As such, they technically need different tiles from base humanoid species. These new tiles are basically all merely palette swaps using gargoyle player doll and statue form colourations, aside from borrowing wings from ontoclasm's gargoyle player dolls to fit onto Aqua / Werewolf / Death Form tiles; they're not the most distinct tiles as a result (and might benefit from some touch-ups for more grain on e.g. the pigs), but it's cute enough and accurate enough to add all of these tiles anyway.
(Also, I smoothened out the palette and added mild contrast to the previous serpent form tiles.)

Since e3b193e player ghosts and illusions actually retain their natural movespeed, but ghosts from versions older than this will have had it marshalled as 10. And even after the ghost permastore is updated, it will likely contain a mix of ghosts who died before and after this change.
So, for ghosts who died before this change, make these species default to the 'standard' move speed for those species. This does not account for, say, wearing ponderous gear, but that's a fairly minor thing.

Remove some worse-than-useless wizmode code for placing player ghosts
Playing a player ghost in wizmode would prompt the user to specify a species and job for that ghost, but it had *already decided* by this point in time what ghost it was placing and would just replace its listed species and job with whatever you said - ie: make the ghost lie to you.
And then, on top of that, it always set their XL to 7 and HP to 20! (And clobbered their name, too.)
So just remove all this code entirely. Now placing a player ghost will simply place a random available ghost from the current floor. (It might be nice to be able to specify what sort of ghost to pull up from the ones that actually exist, but doing literally nothing is better than doing whatever this was doing....)

Form gargoyle tiles, serpent form tile tweaks
Since 6e34e43, gargoyles are all canonically stony when merely changing anatomy in a form and have wings when only changing substance in a form. As such, they technically need different tiles from base humanoid species. These new tiles are basically all merely palette swaps using gargoyle player doll and statue form colourations, aside from borrowing wings from ontoclasm's gargoyle player dolls to fit onto Aqua / Werewolf / Death Form tiles; they're not the most distinct tiles as a result (and might benefit from some touch-ups for more grain on e.g. the pigs), but it's cute enough and accurate enough to add all of these tiles anyway.
(Also, I smoothened out the palette and added mild contrast to the previous serpent form tiles.)

As pointed out by the previous commit, the code to summarize a badmut for what gear is melded by a form was slightly incorrect.

Fix helmets not being properly marked useless in some situations
If the player had a mutation that prevented them from using helmets (but not hats) and was in a form that suppressed this mutation (but didn't actually let them wear a helmet), the game would think those items were not useless and display them in stash searches.

Fix local tiles never printing a second line of statuses
For some reason, a layout function for local tiles was substracting one of the two status lines that both console and webtiles get. There appears to be space, and it can be quite important to display this information in any case.

Fix console sometimes not printing a second line of statuses
CPRINTF would automatically wrap the cursor's column back to the start of the HUD region if printing a status that reached the end of available space, causing _print_status_lights() to falsely think there was additional space available on the current line (resulting in it not rendering the second line at all).
Since it effectively does its own word-wrapping (and, perhaps unsafely, relies on the cursor's current position to do so), it seems best to print without wrapping.

Formally allow serpent form to wear helmets
This is at least as much a stopgap bugfix as it is a deliberate design change, but this fixes a couple existing issues that are tricky to resolve otherwise.
(Currently if you're wearing a helmet before entering the form, it will stay on, but you aren't allowed to equip one *after* entering the form. But actually preventing the player from transforming if they have a helmet on has some awkwardnesses and we can't just remove the helmet automatically (or this would shatter cursed equipment!) and selectively melding some but not all headgear would likely be a source of new bugs after feature freeze, so this seems like the simplest solution for the moment.)
(It's not really a balance issue for the form to wear helmets, incidentally; some people just think the flavor is odd.)

Allow previewing full AC/EV/SH/spell fail changes with a given talisman
While the form properties table does a good job of conveying the innate bonuses of a form, it's not always immediately obvious what the net change in stats will be when considering melded/unmelded gear, artefact properties, or (perhaps especially) size changes. Now talismans should display similar information when examined that most equipment does (including the benefit of form wizardry or Walking's Scroll's skill bonus).

Fix monsters being alerted at the end of Passwall (dilly)
In fixing an issue with distortion unwield banishment effects being delayed by one turn for Coglins, 0c5ade9 introduced at least one other (and probably more) by calling world_reacts() on all 0-turn delays.
Rather than attempt to untangle exactly which parts of world_reacts() make sense to call on 0-aut turns (ie: bookkeeping) and which do not (ie: changes of world state), I am rolling back this particular fix and making EquipOffDelay check for banishment specifically (PasswallDelay already does much the same thing for traps, for instance).
A more comprehensive refactoring could make sense, but doesn't seem appropriate after feature freeze, since the risk of subtle bugs seems high.

Some last minute tile tweaks and additions
* Adjusted the Medusa Form octopode tile to be a chalkish white, like the Siamese cat coluration for Medusa Form felids and unlike the blue colouration random octopodes could start as.
* Adjusted the slowly-dying enchantment icon to use less garish colours and have a black outline so it contrasts better against the brighter colour floors like e.g. Shoals.
* Adjusted the lines of Call Down Lightning's effect to look cleaner.
* Removed an extra copy of the Dazzling Flash icon from the Conjurations spell folder.
* Added new Ignite Poison vfx that avoids displaying a red flash constantly as one casts a spell- while this is less dramatically visible than such a choice, it's also far less confusable than the current settings default of red flashes being used for being at low HP.

Add missing Zig pillar traps (#4475)
"Adds zig pillars for the remaining traps that have yet to be used there. All pillars have a weight of 5 and [use megazig_zot_traps()].
* ziggurat_pillar_centre_dissolved: Places a few devourer's traps, as well as an entropy weaver. After the first zig, replaces more statues and empty floor with traps.
* ziggurat_pillar_centre_exhaustion: Places an archmage's trap, plus a [deep elf annihilator or draconian annihilator]. Starting from Zig+1, it instead places an ancient or dread lich and can put additiona archmage traps.
* ziggurat_pillar_centre_mighty_misfortune: Places a harlequin's trap or tyrant's trap. These were originally two separate pillars, but as they basically do the same thing I decided to merge them into one.
* ziggurat_pillar_centre_nasty_nets: Places one or more net traps, surrounded by a variable amount of iron grates. Limited to only place after zig:10 to avoid zig dippers being instantly netted and killed by a pan lord or something."
[Committer's notes: As per usual, Zigs are allowed to use contents otherwise reserved for specific parts of the game, so these vaults are fine.
I replaced banishers with annhilators since the former have poor chances to affect people in Zigs, took out the variation floor tiles since some of the floor looks kinda weird versus the repurposed Vaults floor, made additional net traps require more than one Zig as the PR itself ponders about, and commented out the feature redefinitions for now until we can figure out why there are description bugs for such. I'd like to revise our current zig floor and wall tiles eventually rather than have the occasional splash from elsewhere strangely only affect the pillars (surely we could do some quick work for given floor themes?...) but it'll have to wait until I've spent more time on walls and floors for other places, like V and extended.
Closes #4475.]

A wide variety of different tiles (LemurRobot)
Seperate tiles each for sewer exit portals, randart troll leather armour, weakness stinger mutation, and honeycomb talismans (now hive talismans).
* The Sewer exit submission was remixed with ontoclasm's Sewer entrance tile to properly imply pipes inside rather than outside the Sewer.
* The troll leather armour randart tile was recoloured to primarily resemble regular troll leather armour with differing highlights, and made larger to not seem overly small compared to the current plain troll leather armour through fur extensions from roctavian's troll monsters and Sastreii's death yaks.
* The weakness stinger mutation icon was heavily edited to provide three discrete levels of the mutation (following the absence of a stinger in its first level and weakness only applied in the third), as well as given colour highlights akin to the style used for horn and antennae mutations.
* The hive talisman replacement, while good for being more directly representative, was very understated for a talisman and over-emphasized the cords present on the placeholder tile. With the cord removed, I combined pieces from Denzi's royal jellies, Sastreii's flux talismans, ontoclasm's sewer entrance / exit plus Control Teleport spell to flesh out the tile some more. * As an actual hive rather than a honeycomb, I'm naming them to hive talismans in this commit- while the majority of the new talismans don't precisely match form name and talisman name, it's still present enough that it should probably be fine to switch just for the sake of having a decent enough talisman tile.
Also placed into the unused folders:
* An incomplete set of talisman randart tiles: until the full set is complete, it is unfortunately better off to not single out talisman randarts for a limited portion of talisman types. I'll probably finish off the rest of the set with the further talisman work planned for 0.34.
* Fountains of ectoplasm were planned and requested for Necropolis in its early stages of consideration before fountains got a long list of god-specific flavour messages. I'd still like to do these too, but such lengthy messages are a bit of a low priority.
* A couple of tiles for concepts that were later abandoned (like arctic jackrabbit form), wrong for their desired context (a tile for for solar embers that was too solid-looking, a phalanx beetle that lacked phalanx shields), or are unviable entirely (tentacles are far too much of a mess to add other multi-tile monsters in the same style).

Make it less possible to accidentally enter explode mode
While entering explore mode did require the user to type 'yes', several less critical things in the game ask the player the same thing (such as stepping on a Zot trap) and it is possible to overlook its significance for something that cannot be taken back.
So, to help with that, make the text you have to type in several cases more explicit. Explore mode now requires typing 'explore', wizmode 'wiz', and quitting 'quit'. (Other prompts using 'yes' been left alone for now.)

Additional (mostly early) Necropolis tweaks
A little bit of conscientious adjustments before feature freeze, mostly.
- The D:5-7 Necropolis spawn chance has been reduced (from 3.5% per floor to 2.75%), since no matter the vault enemy tweaks players are still behind the curve versus the average player ghost. There are also plenty of other early portals as is, and there's a fair bit amount of deeper Necropolis vault options that have more variety to better highlight anyway.
- Gold counts in all Necropolis settings and the D:5-7 ghost rewards have been mildly increased, while the highest threats in D:5-7 ghost subvaults have been subdued a bit further.

Lower ghost sticky flame damage, fix xv lying about it
xv claimed that sticky flame from an XL16 ghost did 2d6 damage, but this was only the impact damage and the sticky flame debuff itself did ~2d16 per turn instead. The difference was even more disparate on higher level ghosts (ie: XL27 claims 2d9, but did 2d25)
This commit lowers the per-turn damage by ~33% and adjusts the impact damage to match (so that xv will report it more accurately).

Don't make aux attack misses claim the entire attack missed
This additionally caused rending blade to sometimes fail to trigger when the attack hit, if it was followed by an aux attack which missed.
As far as I can tell, the only other consumer of this value for players is fsim (meaning the accuracy value of aux-having characters was always slightly incorrect.) 

1bf55eccbc | 2025-04-16 13:45:12 -0230 | DracoOmega
Make Rending Blade much more reliable (and deal more damage)
While situations where rending blade was unable to find an attack path when one clearly existed were a minority, they were still much too common, to the point of making the spell feel fiddly and inconsistent. This commit rewrites most of its pathing behavior entirely, in the hope of reducing those confusing/frustrating scenarios to almost zero.
It uses a very heavy-handed approach to do so, iterating all possible paths from its present position (and, if necessary, from all adjacent positions). I'm not altogether happy with how heavyweight this is, but it's the best way to ensure that it almost always does a thing if the player could see a way for it to do a thing.
The blade can no longer 'store up' charge between turns to unleash in a burst. This was intended to compensate for the 'unreliability' of the old model, so that if it failed one turn, it might strike twice the next turn, but was fairly unintuitive to players. Now it will either strike immediately or not at all.
Finally, the blade leashes to the player like a phalanx beetle instead of drifting around at a distance, semi-randomly. (The latter sometimes helped it find paths in the old model, but is no longer helpful.)
In addition, the base damage of the blade has been raised, and the bonus power per MP also raised.
I'm not altogether happy with this state, and feel the spell could possibly use a deeper redesign, but there's no time to devise, implement, and test one so close to feature freeze. And this is definitely a more usable state for the spell than what currently exists.

Last major vault review for 0.33
Of note:
* Ironbound mechanists have been distributed around various mage and construct vaults in V, as well as some sprints. Sprozz and Nobody have also joined a bunch of sprints.
* Sprint III (The Ten Rune Challenge) has mildly less absurd monster HD / HP adjustments / spellset changes entirely unannounced in its monsters, as was highlighted by the recent explicit-xp-definition requirements for vault monsters work. It's truly a relic of an incredibly different era, with very few design changes outside of item / monster removals since its addition back in 0.8, and it's a pretty rough mess in countless ways I'm reluctant to spend much time heavily testing to properly fix-up; as such, there are no guarantees for me properly fixing up the rest of this Sprint.
* In the same capacity, I've done a brief go-over to Zigsprint, making its earliest sections less randomly horribly murderous and its later sections more evenly murderous. It probably needs a significant update- at minimum, splitting the sections to have a fifth difficulty setting- but this should help it feel a little less annoyingly, overly random in beginning threat levels.
* To help differentiate early portal rewards a bit more apart from one another being heavily focused on consumables, and to accommodate the very specific niches both have, Ossuaries now have a 15% chance to drop inkwell talismans and Bailies have a 10% chance to drop fortress talismans.
* Every Lair end vault now has a 10% chance to place a tier 2, 3, or 4 talisman themed each vault and different between each vault, except for two small dragon ends which get a 7.5% chance each. (The protean-tier talismans are always placed randarts, as a bit of a consolation prize for it being late to see such.) There's a bit of a design quandry in terms of people wanting to stick with Shapeshifting versus the inherent variability in a roguelike benefitting not guaranteeing much for specific item drops throughout a run. Hopefully, between 035eff2 and this commit, there's at least some regular in-roads most games for shapeshifters sticking to talismans without being railroaded in single talisman choices throughout the game.

Missed by b498025, the former god argument was being passed as an argument to spell fail, meaning the spell would fail if cast by any monster which had a god. Broodmothers are godless, *but* bound souls always worship Yred.

7156b827e1 | 2025-04-15 19:13:47 -0230 | DracoOmega
Replace player Monstrous Menagerie with Sphinx Sisters (regret-index)
Menagerie was an 'okay' spell, but often felt fairly underwhelming to use and its design was in some ways a remnant of its age. There were huge power level differences between the results you could roll (lindwurm's ranged spell did more than twice the damage of manticore's!) and sphinxes felt mildly at odds, mechanically, with the other results. It wasn't awful, but let's try repurposing some of the same design space to focus on the most theoretically interesting result.
Sphinx Sisters is a level 7 Summoning/Hexes spell that summons both a sphinx maurader and a guardian sphinx in one cast. This gives the player a wide spread of valuable hex effects, and their direct offense also has the arguably interesting property that it gets worse the more other summons you are using at the same time (as airstrike/af_airstrike do much less damage the more crowded the area gets), potentially making them less desireable as a 'just toss into the deathball' spell with clear upsides of its own.
This is obviously much more powerful spell effect than the one it's replacing, but in casual testing does not seem out of line with other level 7 dual-school summoning spells (or Horrible Things, which is still more accessible to many people at level 8).
Monstrous Menagerie remains as a monster spell, with Kirke's guardian sphinx being downgraded to a sphinx marauder (as it was only upgraded orginally out of a desire not to nerf the player spell).
(And since it was trivial to do so, Sphinx Sisters works for ghosts out of the box.)

Don't require the seismosaur egg to have LoS to enemies (only the player)
Originally, the hatching condition only required that the egg itself be able to see an enemy, but this leaked information to the player about monsters around corners, so it was changed to *additionally* require the monster to be in the player's LoS as well.
But every now and again, this results in a scenario where the player can see a monster but the egg cannot, and this may not be obvious (ie: involving corners/pillars), leading to some player confusion about why the egg isn't hatching.
Given that there's already a proximity condition, the player's own LoS is probably sufficient and the egg's no longer matters. This is a small buff, but probably mostly a QoL improvement for edge cases. 

261e3f968d | 2025-04-15 15:45:37 -0230 | DracoOmega
Show a range indicator around seismosaurus eggs (Various)
To maybe help the player intuit how close is 'in-range' for the egg to be able to hatch, the ground within 4 spaces of the egg now changes to a brown rocky texture while the egg is alive (but only while the player can see those tiles, to keep from polluting map memory forever....)
Technically this can leak a bit of information about whether your egg is still alive or not, but the living state of an egg that you can't even see seems very unimportant in almost all cases.
(Also, this indicator doesn't show up in water, but presumably players will almost always have used it many times outside of water, to still have a sense of its properties if at some point the whole range isn't indicated.)

This could happen when trying to add an existing macro from the macro quick add menu or when searching for a specific spell, hovering the mouse over the spell and then doing a broader search that included the spell etc.

She was made a 'former' coglin when coglins were added, presumably in lieu of having any actual coglins in the game, but her dialogue mostly didn't fit them very well (in my opinion) and her mechanics didn't reflect their core gimmicks in any way.

New Unique: Sprozz, Inventive Apiarist
An earlygame coglin forgewright unique that casts Clockwork Bee and Tempering (but has generally quite sad weapons and mediocre melee themselves). The cast delay on bee does give the player a chance to try and kill him first (or run away) but the bee will keep chase even as you do so and Tempering could prove nasty if you let it hit you.
Has a 50% chance of dropping a randbook containing clockwork bee and 1-2 other Forgecraft spells.
Currently appears at the same depth as Amaemon, which may be a bit off, though I'm not certain exactly how dangerous he will be in practice. Will adjust again after some playtesting.

Specify monster exp values directly (#4474)
Monster experience values relied on a very complicated formula that tried to account for a large number of factors related to monster power. While it did capture many of the aspects that make a monster more dangerous, it was inaccurate enough that monsters needed an additional corrective factor to have reasonable values. Since we're already specifying monster xp with an ad hoc formula, it's simpler to just remove the formula and specify xp value directly in most cases.
Monster yaml files now allow the monster's base xp value to be set, and des files can custom set exp (which should not be used except in sprint). Variable xp remains for particularly complex monsters, like panlords, but with a simpler formula. Derived undead reference the base monster's xp with a divisor.
This change should not significantly affect total xp available in a game.

Octopode Flux Form tile, as was accidentally missed out
I forgot to export and package the image alongside the rest of other images sent to DracoOmega in midst of the big Shapeshifting update, to the point that 16aa5c7 listed tile credits for the parts of this octopode but left the tile out itself. (A heavily modified explosion from the CC0 release of DUELYST 1, and an edit by Darby of Bloax's base octopode tile.) Thus, I am adding it in.

Fix blood for blood spawning orcs faster the faster your turns (#4471)
A turn that took 5 auts would spawn in twice the number of orcs that a 10 aut turn would spawn, resulting in 4 times as any orcs spawning per aut. This change makes the average number of orcs spawned per aut the same no matter how long your turns take. It keeps the same spawn rate if you are taking turns of length 10 auts although this might need adjusting as many melee characters can have an attack delay closer to 7 auts when getting blood for blood online which would spawn at about twice the rate with the old system.
This also fixes a crash that would sometimes occur as sometimes turns can be cut short to 0 auts (e.g. when resting is interupted).

Bring back hippogriffs with new gimmicks for Bailies
Hippogriffs were removed in fc24509 for being very plain melee-only monsters. In the spirit of the previous commit adding wyvern-riders to Bailies and 5e5e084 returning crocodiles for early portal purposes with new gimmicks, I'm reviving these heraldric beasts for use in some of the underperforming axe bailies. In this position, their description gives the explicit status of them as both mascot and guard dog, and they are also given the following two new and old gimmicks:
* A new spell, Beckoning Gale. This smiting attack does low, AC-checking irresistable damage and pulls the target forward up to two tiles, if possible. This should reduce somewhat reduce the capacity for approaching weaker bailies through constant retreat, defeating the entire effect of an organized fortress, while also serve as a reasonable stepping-stone between Sewer crocodiles and Ice Cave reapers and Swamp alligators / swamp worms. (It is also part of continued attempts to make Air feel like an element with reasonable manifestations throughout the game relative to other elements.)
* Warning Cry, as we're possibly stretching a little thin (putrid mouths? bunyips?) but which otherwise reasonably fits them pulling players forward into worse positions and their new guard-pet flavour, as well as reducing their approaching speed and Beckoning Gale cast rate both.
Naturally, as with the previous commit, this comes with more fix-ups to the bailey.des file and some adjustments of their underperforming new home layouts. They otherwise are not returning to standard D, Lair, or Shoals spawns- it'd defeat the point of making portals differ from their branches to share them in D, in Lair they're individually unimpressive monsters that have no guarantee to find other monsters, and Shoals has plenty enough movement control gimmicks as is. They do, however, get to place in their old special_room_mythical_zoo placement, finally getting rid of the not-exactly-storied hell rat from the list and letting it have something unique to stand out with. In the future, they might fit the occasional Necropolis portal-themed ghost vault, too.
The hippogriff tile further adjusts roctavian's edits to Denzi's hippogriff tile. The Beckoning Gale icon uses a CC0 spell icon by frosty_rabbid combined with PleasingFungus's Lesser Beckoning icon, and the vfx alters Denzi's old Airstrike icon.

New monster: goblin riders (of wyverns), for bailies
Bailies somewhat continue the trend of older Sewers in mostly containing monsters from nearby floors plus the trend of older Ossuaries having very little for unique features or mechanics. While they get to abuse equipment to brandish reaching / cleaving / boomerangs as well as orc knights, they don't have a lot else that isn't very map specific (and even then, most of those don't try to push very hard on novel mechanics, just on monsters a bit deeper into the Dungeon past Bailey depth). A little bit of additional variety can go a long way here.
Goblin riders ride wyverns, a heraldic beast chosen to try and liven up the relatively singular military flavour of bailies, as well as a monster that has always been somewhat bland as a breathless faux-dragon (later than current steam dragons) or fast melee monster (near bullfrog and water moccasin depth). Goblins have been chosen to ride them half to prop up the current unavoidable usage of them as D:1-4 enemies in a D:7-10 portal, and half to expand player coglin flavour a little bit further in the form of goblins trying all sorts of means to gain additional power.
(Mechanically, they function in the same capacities as spriggan riders; spear-wielding flying fast monsters bulkier than the base of either, which can spawn either on death. This gets to deploy a straightforward and established mechanic quite far away from its other use, while not being super difficult to parse overall. They're between orc warriors and orc knights in stats otherwise, and appear in most of the non-over-arching gimmick polearm bailies to help strengthen ones with underperforming killstats or weaken ones with overperforming killstats. They also get some sparse use in some large goblin-plus-other-monster D vaults, since this is still a somewhat low count otherwise.
While I'm here, the vampire bailey has been moved to axes and gets wyvern zombies; it's been underperforming since ebf5b86, there are fairly more polearm bailies than axe bailies, vampires had equal apts in both weapon types, and it can match the deployment of goblin rider and the Order of the Dragon without needing to do a fair bit of work to make goblin rider derived undead tiles work.)
Their tile combines ontoclasm's wyvern tile, roctavian and Sastreii's goblin tile, and roctavian's edits of ontoclasm's spriggan rider tile.

Untweak merfolk aptitudes.
Merfolk's longblade and polearm apts were changed to give them more weapon variety pretty much immediately before long blades were made to scale with dexterity instead of strength. The stat changes encouraged the same thing, since dex works with merfolk's huge dodging apt, so long blades became dominant. So let's revert the apt change and try once again to strike a balance; longblades back to +1 and pole back to +4. This reverts 15338bc.

Prevent kraken simulacra from walking into land. (Various)
8ec9f77 effectively converted all simulacras habitat into normal amphibious, allowing kraken simulacra to leave deep water. A couple vaults use these in ways that could be excessively dangerous, so I'm special-casing to toss them back in again.
After a little discussion, I think spectral and bound kraken can be allowed to leave the water (it always felt rather silly that they couldn't, despite being non-physical and flying) and temporarily disable the one vault that uses them early enough for this to be a potential problem until Index can review and adjust it.

Allow ?summoning to make monsters over lava (WizardIke)
RANDOM_COMPATIBLE_MONSTER's type was only resolved to a real monster after create_monster() had already searched for a compatible place to summon it and the habitat it defaulted to wouldn't allow it to exist over lava (it basically considered it a giant land monster, so deep water was okay, but not lava).
This meant that even in places where ?summoning had a high chance of making a flier, if the player was surrounded by lava, nothing would be produced at all. Instead, resolve the random monster type *first* and then look for a place to put it.
(I don't *think* anything meaningfully relies on the current ordering, and monsters placed by vaults and level gen do not use create_monster() at all, as best I can tell, so this probably has little effect outside of shadow creatures.)

This is mostly to improve UI behavior regarding Sack of Spiders (where it was the only result that could survive deep water) and isn't expected to have a major impact otherwise. (Nothing they summon could swim anyway.) Naga and anyone in serpent form will perhaps be happier by a minuscule amount.

Refactor summon space checks, add a few more, fix oddities
This refactors the checks for 'enough room to summon a monster' added by f2a3531c2594a0d with the intent of reducing boilerplate, by wrapping the error message and bundling stop_summoning_prompt() together with it into a single player_summon_check() function that can be used succinctly.
It also adds these checks to a number of evokers - sack of spiders, horn of Geryon, box of beasts, and phantom mirror. In the process, it also fixes some oddities with a couple of these. If the sack or box failed to create a monster (but *not* the horn!) failed to produce a monster, it would not take any time nor use up the evoker charge. But this was a real attempt, so if the player had any chance at all of making broodmothers, they could infinitely use the sack over deep water and fail for 'free' until rolling high enough to get one.
Now, alas, an evoker failing to do anything still uses up the charge to prevent these sort of shenanigans (but the game should be much better at preventing the player from doing so in the vast majority of cases).
A few god abilities also get summon checks - Infernal Servant for space and Infernal Legion / Blood for Blood for damaging auras.
Finally, fix Sphere of Battle not appearing while the player is maintaining a damaging aura like Polar Vortex (which couldn't even hurt it!) while also no longer spamming mysterious messages every turn that it wasn't able to summon one due to a lack of space.

Allow mons_class_habitat to return HT_FLYER
Instead of having multiple different callers of this function manually check flying status afterward and add HT_FLYER onto the return value themselves.
It's now in the same category as 'considering giant monsters amphibious for most purposes' (with the ability to ignore this to look at 'core' habitat, if desired.)
This also fixes an issue with f2a3531c259 where the checks for flying summons did not properly account for them flying.
I am... not 100% sure this doesn't have unexpected effects on some part of code that doesn't expect flying monsters to have HT_LAVA, but I didn't see anything obvious upon looking into it, and it feels like a cleaner way to use our new habitat bitflags.

Store habitats as a bit mask of the different terrain categories monsters of that habitat can survive on. This lets us easily check of one habitat is more restrictive than another or if a monster can survive on a category of terrain e.g. land, water, shallow water or deep water etc.
[Committer's note: Fixed a minor bug with wizmode listing of monster habitats, removed unused random_monster_at_grid() function and simplified code supporting it.]

The overriden get_special_damage function was a ghost brought back by the rebasing I did prior to pushing to master, and corresponded to an earlier implementation that used these numbers very differently. But it was causing the game to ignore the damage formula specified in the form yaml (and resulting in something like double the intended damage!)

Tweak default form name gen, improve wizmode form change command
Wizmode now lists forms in alphabetical order instead of enum order (which was increasingly hard to find anything in now), as well as hiding more deprecated forms.
Underscores should no longer show up in a handful of form names when viewed on % (eg: "rime_yak-form"). I've opted to shorten some two word names into one (eg: "yak-form") which is a little less specific, but reads better than "rime yak-form" to me.

Move sky beasts out of Y and into F
Nobody previously knew what a sky beast was, beyond "like an ice beast that flies", itself a loose generic fantasy monster monster that was moved somewhat questionably onto the 'Y' glyph alongside the other yaks and elephants for being a simple non-carnivorous quadruped long ago. The sky beast tile has moved from a vaguely-legged cloud (f20cd82), to a crackling coatl (46161bd), to a very abstract cloudy ray (4a87d9e), to the current feathered manta ray (f2ebe9a). The last of these as finally made it somewhat coherent to parse also unfortunately clashes with its original status long ago in bodyshape as derived undead tiles are assigned to it, with it currently being shown as a winged quadruped if undead despite only very briefly having legs compared to the last fifteen years.
With F mostly established as 'Frogs and 'F'ish (electric eels will be addressed eventually....), I am taking the opportunity to both make its glyph and its derived undead shape a fish, as manta rays are. This is possibly pushing the 'F'ish part of the glyph a little (mostly for being the only one of them not fast), but it hopefully makes substantially more sense than leaving it in the same space as yaks and elephants.

Partial vault review, Necropolis vs talismans edition
While I'd prefer to normally be fairly more comprehensive in these sorts of vault reviews, most of this review is heavily aimed at the Necropolis feedback over the past week or so since its addition: while the first Necropolis range was bugged for half of that period due to 052fbde to mostly place on D:4 and D:5, this emphasized that the conversion of ghost vaults to Necropolis subvaults still was tailored pretty heavily towards minimal rewards beyond ghost XP in the earliest depths.
A variety of different approaches have been taken, as a result:
* Necropolis portals can no longer appear on D:4, now starting the earliest at D:5. Aside from nudging it a bit further away from Ossuary depth, this is meant to allow player backgrounds a bit more power relative to the D:5-7 monster set as well as get more consumables or spells enough to handle early ghosts. I'm a little sad this no longer keeps the earliest range exactly in Temple's depth range, but the shift should help with nudging down threat and nudging up rewards.
* New talismans appropriate to the flavour of various themed ghost subvaults (like element and spell-school match-ups, or newly golden dragon-coils for Gozag) have been added to vaults with relatively minimal rewards.
* Ghost subvaults that were mostly unthemed or undead-focused replace one stack of gold with randart weapons. These are mostly (but not always) reaping or spectral, and which lean towards non-endgame two-hander equipment, to try and mildly help out the current swing towards shields as well as to offer something else enticing and unknown beyond gold early without warping overall balance much.
* To match the 1/100 chance for the dancing chaos weapon Xom ghost vault to get the Mace of Variability, a fifth or so of the ghost subvaults get an additional 1/100 chance to explicitly place an item
* The most lethal early ghost subvaults have been nudged further down in difficulty when very early, especially gammafunk_[...]_berserking_beasts and regret_index_[...]_air_whorl.
Alongside this, a handful of other large theme vaults and some shops have been granted new talisman chances as would be appropriate. Another vault review will be done before feature freeze for this 0.33 version, and some additional Necropolis subvaults that can accommodate more talismans are likely to be made, but I would like to get further feedback on the risk-reward status of Necropolis subvaults sooner.

Mildly improve Platinum Paragon's autotargeting (Oneirical)
It now realizes that it can't be placed over deep water/lava and will select its default deployment position accordingly.
In addition, if there is no habitable space adjacent to any enemy, it will fall back on the nearest habitable space to the player, instead of the player themselves (who it can never be cast on). This should make it mildly smoother to use with the quiver.

Diversify Wanderer talisman options a little
Instead of just Quill or Protean talismans, wanderers can get any of the protean-tier talismans directly (as a 'good' item), a handful of flux baubles, or even an Inkwell talisman (if they also have a spell skill).
The current skill requirements does mean they won't start with enough skill to use their only talisman if they start with a tier 2 one, but that may just be par for the course for wanderer.

Mildly nerf / adjust statue form
Statue form has been dominantly popular for many species since the talisman rework, providing an unparalleled defensive bonus to species that otherwise are sorely lacking for AC. And it's fine for it to be popular and strong (it should be strong, given the investment involved and its other downsides!), but the sheer degree of difference in power some species, like felids or octopodes, gain from reaching this this form is potentially troublesome and risks still being the central focus even with more diverse options available.
So now statue form also gives -20% EV while in it. This will affect felids the most, and trolls the least, among those who regularly use it (and that is fine, since trolls had a real decision between armour and statue form, while felids could often feel like there was no equivalently viable option at all.) And, thematically, it's always felt a little weird that one is just as dodgy as a solid stone statue.
(I realize that statue used to penalize EV in past and that was removed, but context has changed enough that I think it's worth trying again.)
In addition, statue exchanges some of its base UC bonus for flat strength. The aim is that this is 'about the same' for unarmed characters, while being a buff to strength users of the form, to slightly diversify its benefits. 

b20e0214d6 | 2025-04-04 23:38:08 -0230 | DracoOmega
Adjust the skill thresholds of some talisman tiers
Now that the old flux-tier has been expanded with a wider variety of forms, I want to push protean tier and blade tier a little further apart, and then nudge statue tier a tiny bit higher as well. (And I think we should stop using t1.5, since protean is a full diverse thing now and not just a stopgap to 'real' forms.)
Tier 1 remains 0-7 Tier 2 (ie: protean tier) is 8-14 (was 7-14) Tier 3 (ie: blade tier) is 12-20 (was 10-19) Tier 4 (ie: statue tier) is 17-25 (was 16-25) Tier 5 (ie: storm tier) remains 23-27
Technically this means that tier 1 and 2 don't overlap at all, but Flux is still intended to bridge that gap.
Blade hands and serpent get minor buffs to put their 'starting' stats similar to where they used to be at 12 skill (ie: blade hands only gives -80% base AC at this point).

Track Necropolis visits in morgue files (Ge0FF)
Personally, I'd prefer our phrasing to use "You have visited X once" over "You have visited X 1 time", but that's how the Abyss and Pandemonium are both phrased, so it's following those for consistency reasons versus the current "many parts of one Necropolis" portal description flavour. (Maybe it's worth adjusting them all at once?)

Reduce excessively high Necropolis chances, hopefully
The portal was missing a `chance_foo` tag as the other portals use, which was resulting in much higher chances to see a Necropolis than CHANCE should be providing. There's some worrying issues with objstat's feature count reflecting very different odds from mapstat on whether or not adding the tag does anything meaningful (possibly from not regenerating the .des cache properly?), and whether or not the `chance_foo` tag properly works to avoid rerolling into the same vault, but this does immediately help the problem at hand by moving from 100% chance to place in D over 100 iterations to ~29% over 100 iterations.

Fix a crash when zooming local tiles (sulla) (#4424)
When zooming in local tiles we call `do_layout` to calculate the new size of the view buffer (as well as other things). however, we need to call `redraw_screen` to actually resize the view buffer before next rendering or the game will crash. We were calling `mprf` before `redraw_screen` which can lead to a force more which can sometimes result in rendering.
This change maybe should be applied to earlier versions to, as in at least version 0.32 zooming in map view mode causes force mores by default.

Move gnolls from 'g' to 'j' glyphs
The 'g' glyph hosts a somewhat eclectic set of differing monsters: Goblins, gnolls, boggarts, and dwarves. (Some of this is inherited from when the Dwarven Halls wanted their own batch of dwarves and were moved from 'q' to 'g' to help distinguish classed draconians in Zot.) With three out of four of these having gained player representation back in 0.32 as quite popular species with straightforward flavour, there's a reasonable incentive to have some additional monsters for them in the future (such as a gnoll with an actual spread of different spells, coglin forgewrights, or goblins recklessly trying other means of gaining power). The glyph, however, contains 14 monsters already, leaving very little space in console to add any further without some change.
To facilitate this, I'm splitting these apart based on cliches of size. Gnolls have no history nor media depicting them particularly as small spirits, which otherwise unites goblins, boggarts, and dwarves. (Crawl dwarves not being small is silly, but a long foregone matter.) They are thus being moved into their own seperate glyph using one of the few remaining current unused console glyphs, 'j': 'j'nolls shouldn't be much weirder than the decade or so of 'g'warves. All monsters involved are otherwise preserving their colours, aside from dwarf dummy monsters being moved from green to Wiglaf's lightgreen (since nearly all dummy monsters are locked behind glass anyway).
(Honestly, it'd help with several other spaces if we could add more console glyphs outside of standard keyboards, as constructs are overloaded on '9' and dogs / cats / bears / hogs are crammed full into 'h', but even if we committed to doing such they'd still need some deliberate division as been done here.)

More adjustments for newer monsters
* Sphinx marauders are now large instead of giant, both to reflect them being younger than the guardian sphinxes as well as accommodating impending future uses of non-giant-sized sphinxes.
* Friendly protean progenitors no longer use the standard human intelligence random dialogue, since they're not any talkative in their normal messages.
* Wyrmholes have climbed to the top of killers in Depths since their addition three months ago, which is admittedly further than I particularly planned- while it's good for Depths to have more extremely distinct monsters from V:$ and most of Zot, they're not meant to quite quash down any other comparative threats in the branch. (It's hard to tell how many people also died to not bothering to cancel the teleport, though.) They've been pushed deeper into the Depths depth-scaling and are somewhat less common (with alderking weight pushed up slightly to compensate), as a consequence. They also have had some of their numbers slashed slightly- less hp, lower cast rate for their breath, and speed 12 over speed 13. I'll still be keeping an eye on them, but I'd rather reduce their numbers a little further if needed rather than otherwise nerf their suite of defenses or their central displacement gimmicks.

Fix some issues with coglins wielding and unwielding weapons (#3880)
- Fix distortion unwield banishment triggering a turn late for coglins - Fix delay interrupts (most notably abyss entry from coglin distortion unwield) from asking the player twice whether they would like to "Keep equipping themselves?"
Another thing that arose during the making of this PR: when being banished or shafted, `you.time_taken` is set to 3/4 of the usual time it would take for the player to complete their action, which can have bizarre effects. Attacks and spells can be cast, items can be equipped, scrolls/potions/wands can be used, all randomly and inexplicably 2-3 auts faster than usual. This feels a bit counterintuitive, and I wouldn't be surprised if it has unintended effects.
There was a bug I experienced a while ago with ?revelation carrying over to the new floor when being shafted the turn after reading the scroll which I couldn't reproduce, but I wonder if this is related.

console: draw waypoints over other items and features (#4323)
Currently, waypoints are only displayed on otherwise empty squares on the level map view. In combination with them not being xv-able and not reporting any sort of coordinates other than what level they're on, this makes it so that if anything overrides them, they become impossible to find without actually traveling to their exact location.
For my use case, this is a very annoying problem - I use waypoints to track timed portals and mark encounters with monsters that indicate potential branch entrances (e.g. redback on L:3), and in general for annotations that are more location-sensitive where annotating the whole floor doesn't cut it. Especially when scouting portals, being able to see exactly where the waypoints are at all times is very important. I understand that x-marks-the-spot may not the intended use case for waypoints, but I suspect it to be by far the most common one.

fix: AUTOFIGHT while immotile should not wait (CrawlOdds) (#4399)
If immotile (e.g. from -Move), we should not wait when you try to autofight by default. No other case that I can see will wait unless AUTOFIGHT_WAIT is set - why is this one different?
This logic was added last year in 52037ea7a925a6ae6b1b67939267cd8f1f4837a4. I'm guessing because it was confusing to hit tab and have nothing happen? but mpr would make more sense to me to solve that. Gate the old behavior behind autofight_wait.
Could add another option for it instead, but it seems consistent with the behavior of the autofight_wait option in general.
Closes #4394

feat(webserver): Add game_id to rcfile_contents (#3496)
When webtiles clients request an rc file's contents, they send a `get_rc` message with a `game_id` property. The webt iles sever responds with a `rcfile_contents` message that has a `content s` property.
Because the response doesn't include `game_id`, the client has to treat this as a stateful request. It has to remember what was recently requested and can't pipeline multiple requests.
The current webtiles client stores this state in the UI and will ignore the additional property. But its existence will simp lify design of future webtiles clients.

Optionally add target location description (#4073)
### Main Changes
In #1422 several ways to improve accessibility for visually impaired players are discussed. I believe the issue can be closed when this PR is merged.
This PR adds showing location description along with tile descriptions during aiming and viewing.
To enable this feature `Options.monster_item_view_coordinates` needs to be set to true. See also "Options for blind players" from the options_guide.
### Other Changes Also added some comments to some description methods.
### Pictures Some pictures (or terminal outputs) to visualize the changes. New is `Location (x, y)`.
#### When pressing `f` with a ranged weapon:
``` Fire: e) +0 orcbow Press: ? - help, Q - select action Shift-Dir - straight line Location (0, 3)
sefie the Shield-Bearer *WIZARD* Minotaur Health: 19/19 ======================== #### Magic: 0/0 #.. AC: 6 (26%) Str: 20 #.ß EV: 8 Int: 5 #.. SH: 0 Dex: 9 #.# XL: 1 Next: 0% Place: Dungeon:1 #*# Noise: 0 ------ Time: 6.5 (0.0) #*# e) +0 orcbow #☺# Fire: e) +0 orcbow #.# #.# #.# #.. #.ß #.. #### ```
#### When pressing `x`: ``` Press: ? - help, v - describe, . - travel Location (0, 0) A staircase leading out of the dungeon.
sefie the Shield-Bearer *WIZARD* Minotaur Health: 19/19 ======================== #### Magic: 0/0 #.. AC: 6 (26%) Str: 20 #.ß EV: 8 Int: 5 #.. SH: 4 Dex: 9 #.# XL: 1 Next: 0% Place: Dungeon:1 #.# Noise: 0 ------ Time: 1.0 (0.0) #.# a) +0 rapier #☺# Nothing quivered #.# #.# #.# #.. #.ß #.. ####
```
### Background
After discussion a few items where suggested in #1422 as improvements:
> During standard interactions, place the terminal cursor at the new-turn underscore instead of at the player, so that "start reading from cursor" reads the message window. > During targeting mode, place the terminal cursor at the description portion of the message window, so that "start reading from cursor" reads what's currently being targeted (and add an option to display the player relative coordinates). > For other things that use the message window for a prompt move the cursor appropriately to the start of the prompt. > When displaying full screen menus, move the cursor to the top left > When full screen menus give a prompt (like in acquirement) move the cursor to the start of the prompt.
Most of the suggested changes already have been merged into crawl (except the additional positions when aiming). The cursor positioning is made unnecessary by placing the message window at the top of the terminal, and by clearing old messages (see also "Options for blind players" from the options_guide).

Fix closing doors with the mouse (#4276)
Control left mouse clicking an open door would result in an unknown command message instead of attacking in the direction of the door. The reason for this is that the game would try to close an open door if you control left clicked it and couldn't see a monster on it, but generate the command to do so incorrectly. This is a bad idea as control left clicking is almost always used to attack invisible monsters. This change moves closing doors to shift left clicking and fixes the generation of the command.

New spell: Detonation Catalyst (#4388)
Playing with buff duration and melee on-hit effects. Detonation Catalyst is a level 5 Fire/Alchemy spell that causes melee hits to do an ignition-style shaped explosion centered on their primary target. Does not work on cleaving attacks, but does work with reach, WJC move attacks, rampage, electric charge, manifold assault. The duration is extremely short (30-50 aut), but attacking prevents the duration from decreasing. Also, a large percentage of the spell's damage comes from the weapon's base damage. Please charge into enemies while wielding dark maul I am begging you, it will be really funny.

Improve player tracers (#4219)
Players can fire two kinds of tracers. The first is used to check for a target and e.g. gray out your quivered spell if it has no target. The second is fired by functions like `player_tracer` and warns when there are bad targets (e.g. yourself or an ally). Instead of choosing between these two by setting a combination of flags on a bolt before firing it, choose between them by passing a different tracer class to the bolts fire method.
when firing a tracer with the `player_tracer` function don't just warn about one of your allies that would be hit, instead warn about all of them in the same way that melee attacks do (e.g. when using the singing sword). Also, don't spam warnings when firing a starbust that will target you multiple time, instead just say up to how many times the starbust can hit you.

Re-allow chaos weapons for player ghosts/illusions
It's not clear to me why it even remained banned when distortion was allowed, but certainly seems unnecessary these days.
No holy wrath weapons on ghosts makes thematic sense, but unfortunately this code is also used for player illusions, which currently means that you can't even clone a holy wrath weapon you're wielding onto a 'living' illusion. I'd like to fix this too, but there's some... tricky jank involved, so I am deferring it for now.

Make player ghosts/illusions actually copy the player's move speed
The reasoning for making all player ghosts move speed 10 dates from a much earlier time when ghosts freely roamed the dungeon. It was probably unnecessary to deprive spriggan ghosts of their speed after ghost vaults were first made to exist and seems even moreso now. (And, in my opinion, it was extra weird that copies made by Mara or the Illusion Card didn't respect the player's speed.)
Due to how bones files are saved, this won't *retroactively* make spriggan ghosts fast or naga slow, but should affect ghosts moving forward (and the permastore has long been wanting an update...)

Mark maxed out misc evokers as useless if not in player's inventory (#4402)
Existing code only marks useless misc evokers as such if they're in shops, but if they're just laying on the floor they are currently not considered useless. This is a nuisance in zigs, which have one or more evokers on almost every floor, quickly maxing them out and adding more visual noise to an already overloaded ctrl-X menu.

build: only rewrite job/species files when changed
Previously, all generated files would be unconditionally rewritten whenever these scripts were called. Because this guarantees an updated mtime on species-type.h and job-type.h, which are included in a very large number of files, this typically triggers a full rebuild even if the content of these files does not change. Sure, ccache solves this, but it's a very easy issue to hit for new users who aren't yet at the advanced stage of installing ccache. This commit only rewrites generated headers if they do change.

Hopefully maybe fix a cryptic Beogh conversion crash
It's not entirely clear to me the sequence of events required to trigger the crash in a real game, though at least two people have. It seems to (maybe) require returning to a level with no monsters on it, which still somehow has the LSTATE_BEOGH flag set, while the player is injured enough to be able to convert to Beogh. Though it's unclear to me how that flag can *be* set with no monsters on the floor (it also probably only happens on webtiles, due to codepaths involving milestones being examined on floor transition.)
But at any rate, env.max_mon_index should probably never be -1, even if it's unclear *exactly* why that is resulting in this crash via monster_near_iterator.

Fix an off-by-one error with loading env.max_mon_index
If somehow a floor had generated enough monsters to hit MAX_MONSTERS, and was loaded again in this state, monster_iterator would try to iterate past the actual monsters and crash.
(Hitting MAX_MONSTERS during the game itself was handled properly.)

fix: an issue with subprocess and signal modules in Python 3.12
Launching the server gives the following error on some Python 3.12s: "AttributeError: module 'subprocess' has no attribute 'signal'."
Previously, the subprocess module imported `signal`, so it was possible to use `subprocess.signal`. But this `import` was removed from the module in [1] in January. This caused some bugs, and the commit was reverted [2] on Feb 16, half a month later. Some distributions, for example Arch Linux, provide Python 3.12 with the commit [1], but without [2] (yet), hence the error.
To fix this, import the signal module directly instead of relying on `subprocess` to provide it, as was suggested in #4353. Also, the subprocess module is not used for anything else in `process_handler.py`, so it should be safe to remove.
This addresses the second part of #4353 and allows to run the server on Python 3.12. Other supported versions of Python shouldn't be affected by this change at all. Supporting 3.13 requires replacing the deprecated crypt module, which should be done by someone more familiar with the authentication code.

Don't crash when targeting outside map (#4372)

However, it was being ignored resulting in large amounts of time being washed waiting for vsync or rendering updates that were never going to be visable. I also, reduced its default value from 100ms to 17ms as 10 fps felt choppy.

Make fair_adjacent_iterator fair (#3914)
The old fair_adjacent_iterator would visit the tiles around it in the following order 1 4 6 2 x 7 3 5 8 starting from a random tile and wrapping around when it reached the last tile e.g. if the random start was 4 then 4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3. So imagine for example a yellow ugly thing surrounded by walls and other ugly things trying to pick a random ugly thing around it when changing colour as shown below
w=wall r=red ugly thing y=yellow ugly thing b=brown ugly thing c=cyan ugly thing g=green ugly thing
w w r w y b w c g
if the random start was an adjacent ugly thing that ugly thing would be selected, however, if the random start was one of the walls the iterator would be advanced until it reached the cyan ugly thing and it would be selected givng the cyan ugly thing a 5/8 chance of being selected and the red, brown and green ugly things 1/8 chance each.
This change makes fair_adjacent_iterator visit the tiles around it in a random order (without repeats)

Account for muscle-less players in Xom messages.
Change "muscles" to "sinews."
Rationale: Since revenants are skeletal, they don't have muscles (despite their orc name, they don't appear to be built like Skeletor), and poltergeists don't have bodies in the usual sense, but both have some ectoplasmic equivalent of sinews to hold themselves together. Other species would have ordinary sinews to do the same, and adding a flag for whether a species has muscles seems a bit too niche. so sinews is a better generic term for what holds different species together.

Let tiny and large species put gloves on their Fungal Fisticloak
The 'armour size' check was applying even to the fisticloak's gloves slot, but in most cases, 'armour size' is now redundant with the fact that the species in question don't get a SLOT_GLOVES of their own in the first place.
I believe that body armour may be the only place where this parameter has a more nuanced meaning, so we perform the old check there and use a simpler one for hats vs. helmets. (Hats/helmets also need another refactor in future to make Zonguldrok more properly ignore horns on the player's head, but that's a lot trickier and out of scope for this commit.)
This fixes #4302

Let tiny and large species put gloves on their Fungal Fisticloak
The 'armour size' check was applying even to the fisticloak's gloves slot, but in most cases, 'armour size' is now redundant with the fact that the species in question don't get a SLOT_GLOVES of their own in the first place.
I believe that body armour may be the only place where this parameter has a more nuanced meaning, so we perform the old check there and use a simpler one for hats vs. helmets. (Hats/helmets also need another refactor in future to make Zonguldrok more properly ignore horns on the player's head, but that's a lot trickier and out of scope for this commit.)
This fixes #4302

Fix some wierdness with poltergeists and Fisticloak
The most obvious manifestation of this bug was the cloak sometimes falling off when the player took the stairs, but the underlying issue is that if you had 5 aux slots filled up already, and tried to put on the fisticloak, it would still let you *even though it should require two of those slots*.
The issue is that the search for both 'a slot that can hold a cloak' and 'a slot that can hold a hat' was finding the same single slot and thinking this was good enough. (And then save compat code was knocking off the fisticloak on level change, since it properly detected that you didn't have enough slots for it.)
Now, multi-slot items should substract each slot they take up from your total slots, when calculating whether something can fit or not.
This fixes #4322

Account for muscle-less players in Xom messages.
Change "muscles" to "sinews."
Rationale: Since revenants are skeletal, they don't have muscles (despite their orc name, they don't appear to be built like Skeletor), and poltergeists don't have bodies in the usual sense, but both have some ectoplasmic equivalent of sinews to hold themselves together. Other species would have ordinary sinews to do the same, and adding a flag for whether a species has muscles seems a bit too niche. so sinews is a better generic term for what holds different species together.

fix: make Poisonous Vapours targeter ignore rPois enemies, again
Currently, the spell becomes active on the quiver and in the z? menu even if there are only poison-resistant/immune enemies in range. The targeter correctly highlights enemies without rPois, but refuses to highlight poison-vulnerable targets, like killer bees. Also, there is no message when aiming at a monster that can't be affected. Finally, when cycling through possible targets, the targeter doesn't skip poison-resistant monsters.
So, as a remake of 3f6d0115, this commit brings back a custom targeter and a usefulness check for the spell. But since current Poisonous Vapours is different than the pre-b5f9efb4 implementation, the new check in `spell_no_hostile_in_range()` is slightly different too.

Buff Nobody a little
Despite their scariness on paper, they've been statistically underperforming, so I am making a few adjustments.
Their spells from Phyrric Recollecton get burnt out at 50% HP instead of 60%, they get a tiny HD and AC increase, and their Haste and Might actually persist between phases (which I'd always thought it did - that was the *point* of that spellset - but neglected to realize it was being cleared).
Additionally, in hopes of averting the possibility that a scarier Nobody would be tempting to park on another floor (because they couldn't learn any of their scary stuff until you first damaged them), they can now ignite their first memory merely upon *seeing* and engaging the player, whether they are actually injured or not.
We'll see how much effect this has on them.

Don't give Trickster AC for debuffs applied TO friendlies (particleface)
A silly example is that blazeheart golem becoming paralysed by stepping away from it would give you AC (since it is a negative status effect that was applied by a friendly monster!). This could even be repeated by stepping back and forth rapidly.
But in general, it's probably a good idea that you only get AC for debuffing non-friendly monsters, since there's probably some other degenerate silliness that would otherwise be possible.

If Nobody took a big enough hit to go from healthy to dead in a single action (ie: without losing their previous Phyrric Recollection effect from damage), the enchantment cleanup effect would cause it to happen *after* giving them their new spells, resulting in them never appearing to gain them at all.

Now we gather all targets first, and prompt once at the end (using the same basic approach used for many other spells at this point), with a little extra boilerplate for arc blade in particular, so that it doesn't warn you about 'casting' anything.

Fix Enkindled spells never failing (cool3)
Despite their listed success chance, casting a valid spell while Enkindled would never miscast (so long as the fail chance was below 100%, which wasn't actually difficult with the wizardry bonus. Pre-Lair Shatter wouldn't even be implausible, with some luck!)
(This line was a leftover from a much earlier iteration of Enkindling that never made it to trunk, and which got overlooked when revising it.)

feat: add a tile_min_stat_width_characters option
The option allows changing the minimal width of the sidebar in pixels for the regular layout. Previously this had been hard-coded to 42.
Committer's Note: Fixed a typo in the options guide and reformatted, and cleaned up commit wording. Resolves #3027.

In local tiles while in map view mode, you should be able to right click and drag the mini map to view those parts of the map. However, in version 0.26 dragging the mouse stopped doing anything and in version 0.28 right clicking the map stopped doing anything.

Put certain traps in the stash (Ge0ff)
Add the translocation traps, alarm traps, shafts, and plate traps back to the stash tracker. These traps can help navigate within or across levels (translocation and shafts), or can be used tactically (alarm), or might release goodies (plate), so they're useful to track. We still don't track the remaining trap types.

Don't sometimes prevent a ranged unrand from ever spawning
The 2nd parameter to destroy_item ("never_created") should be true in cases like this otherwise, if it happened to be an unrand, it will be prevented from spawning again later. It's slightly unclear to me if this case can even be hit, but since it's there it's better to do it safely.

Zigsprint now puts the skull in the same place where the sword was. The sword isn't a weapon as everything else in that pile is, but since equipping it gives you the reaping brand on kills, it can affect your weapon, so maybe that's okay?

fix: Bring Asterion's ability names in line with overhauled Makhleb (#4247)
Asterion's current ability name, "Greater Servant of Makhleb", comes from Makhleb's old ability names before the 0.32 overhaul. Since the overhaul was mostly merging the lesser/greater pairs while leaving the actual mechanics untouched, I think we can keep the existing monster spells (along with icons and descriptions), but use the new ability titles. The other ability, "Major Destruction", is contrasted with another monster spell "Legendary Destruction". It is thus not changed.

Silence duration is identical to blueberry klown pie. This effect works on monsters (who ignored -Cast entirely) in the rare case that one spawns with a *Silence artifact.
-Cast remains exclusively on mad mage's maulers, where it's necessary for the gimmick.

Fix up some spectral weapon save compat
For 954e1a44, update the code to handle spectral weapon from either of a monster's potential weapons. Certain monsters like deep elf blademasters can wield two weapons, and its possible that the spectral weapon comes from the alternate weapon. Also fully tag major this compat code. Resolves #4337.

Improve colours of spells in spellbooks (#3645)
Currently, in WebTiles, the colours of spells in spellbooks are far from useful. The most important question when x-v-ing a book (e.g. in a gauntlet, or a ghost vault) and seeing its spells is "do I already have this spell in my library?". There was previously no way to check this without leaving the x-v menu and manually checking.
With this PR, all spells will be greyed out in book descriptions if you already have them in your library (or if they are useless, or if you have memorised them via Vehumet), lightred if forbidden, lightgrey if eventually useful, and lightblue if you could memorise it immediately, in that order of priority.
Better suggestions for colouring are welcome. I had wondered whether it would be better to change WebTiles to use the local tiles (and I presume console) formatting for spellbook descriptions, but I figure there's a reason why WebTiles and local tiles have different formatting in the first place. On the other hand, doing so would bring spell tiles to local tiles' spellbook descriptions, and it would bring the "already known" column to WebTiles, which would also solve this problem.

Properly update area grid on monster item unequip
The `monster::unquip` function was checking if it changed the monster's halo and umbra radii and invalidateding the area grid if it did. However, because it only runs any effects that need to happen on unequip and doesn't actually remove the item from the monsters equipment slots, it doesn't change the halo or umbra radii. Instead we should check if the halo and umbra radii have changed in the places that actually remove the items.

Change the default setting for show_more to false (various)
This may be a bit controversial, but it's been discussed several times and I've been largely convinced that it's a better default (even if perhaps not for immediately intuitive reasons).
While it might seem bad to new players for Crawl to 'skip past' messages on busy turns (rather than pause to show them everything that happened), in practice, most of those turns have a lot of noise (when a zombie army is fighting another army, most individual messages don't matter at all) and more crucially, *this trains players to tune out* --mores-- which includes messages so critical that Crawl *forces* a --more-- on them by default.
In fact, this seems like the *inevitable* result of some builds causing mores every normal turn (zombie armies are the most obvious, but it's easy to cause this with various AoE spells as well - especially in webtiles, which has a smaller message log than local tiles default). You can't really play those without getting in the habit of skipping past --mores-- and then you are certain (no matter your skill level) to eventually overlook something the game tried to warn you about.
Crawl has moved more and more important things into force_more over the years, and I have been largely convinced that reserving this sort of interruption for something we think actually matters is better for both newer players *and* veterans. (In fact, changing this option is one of the first pieces of advice given in some contexts.)
If this causes some new things to slip past players that may have been less likely in past, it might make sense to very slightly raise the threshold on what an useful force_more should be on, if --more--s in general are rarer.

Fix a crash with melding Vainglory (tallbingo)
Or theoretically any item which grants more than one additional slot, although this is the only one which currently exists.
That code was... very much not how you grab the 'second from the back' item in a vector, and I am amazed it never caused a noticable issue when testing.

Don't let Pyrrhic Recollection be used by marionette
This caused a crash as ultimately it resulted in attempting to cast (or attempting to *pretend* to cast to check validity) this spell that is actually not castable (and it certainly doesn't make sense for the spell to be castable by marionette anyway).

Fix a few more bugs with Fly status and talismans
"You float gracefully downwards." was being printed on talisman removal, even if the player wasn't flying beforehand. And swapping from a talisman form without Fly to a different talisman that had this artprop wasn't activating it properly.
(I have done this by moving the equip_artefact_effect call for the talisman until partway through the transformation itself, since it was otherwise being undone by the untransformation that happened inbetween.

Fix a couple problems with phantom mirrored Nobodys (Master_Clown)
Mirrored copies of Nobody were still capable of igniting memories to revive themselves (which is fine in and of itself), but the clearing out of enchantments done when this happens was also deleting their summon timer (and not killing them at the same time, since they were flagged for revival.) This would result in Nobody sticking around forever after first dying.
On top of this, the timeout *itself* would count as a revivable kill. This should now be properly restricted to real deaths (ie: banishing them should properly bypass revivals now also.)

The issue was that malign gateways are solid (and thus can't have an explosion form in them) but can still be targeted as the center point for a fusillade explosion (since there's a monster there).
In and of itself, this would be fine, but code to draw the potion bottles during the animation assumed that the center would *always* be part of the explosion, and reading from the flavor map to see what color they should be was tacitly inserting a key of BEAM_NONE at that spot (which would later be interpreted as real attack data, and cause a crash).

Reduce monster arcjolt damage
(This largely existed only on ghosts up to this point, but the previous values did about as much damage as *plasma beam* on high level monsters, while being unable to miss. With Nobody being able to cast it, this felt a little excessive to me.)
I guess this is technically a nerf to Spellspark Servitor, but I doubt this spell was used on it very much.

Don't let monsters sometimes cast spells with 0 cast rate
This is a consequence of the 'emergency' spell frequency bonus ignoring monster cast rates altogether and just picking a spell at random. This is generally weird behavior that I plan to also change in the future, but for the moment this is a quick fix to one specific problem.
(Nobody's Pyrrhic Recollection is only used as a reaction and should never be cast 'normally' - it's just in the spell list so that players can read details about it.) 

ce41f9e9f2 | 2025-02-22 10:40:09 -0330 | DracoOmega
New unique: Nobody
A revenant formed from the collective resentment of an entire host of people who died alone and forgotten, they burn through multiple different identities as you fight them (and must be 'killed' repeatedly to put them to rest for good.) They spawn at the same depth as Sojobo.
Their Pyrrhic Recollection ability consumes a memory to restore them to full health and temporarily give them access to a single powerful spell (or occassionally a pair of them, if one didn't stand alone well enough). These include many conjurations, but also summoning and some support spells like Haste or Cause Fear. They will use this ability shortly after being first damaged, and also to avoid a killing blow (each consuming one of 3 total memories they have to burn.)
Their cast rates with these spells are notably high, but inflicting damage to them will end the state prematurely, giving the player a bit more agency in the first, and also giving the battle an 'ebb and flow' - periods where Nobody is are capable of burst damage, and periods where they are not (at least until you take another of their lives).
The idea was to create something flavorwise liked and mechanically adjacent to Enkindling (while being more functional on a monster, where things like 'ignore armour penalties and have better cast success' are not really a thing.)
(If you leave the battle for few hundred turns, their memory charges will be restored, to prevent players trying to take out lives individually and flee, but otherwise there should be no time pressures.)
The spells were deliberately chosen to be things found on other monsters (or known as player spells), but leaning towards those which were a little less common.
I am fairly unsure about some numbers and the dynamics of this unique are a bit, well, unique, so playtesting is needed, but I hope people find them interesting!

Fix vampires being unable to enthrall with some weapons (RBrandon)
Unrand weapons that had a melee effect (eg: Captain's Cutlass, Wyrmbane, Arc Blade, and many others) would bail out of the melee attack function early if their target died (regardless of whether the unrand effect had anything to do with it). This was early enough that vampire bite effects were never processed, meaning that any lethal stab attack with such a weapon could never heal the vampire or make a thrall.
(Of all the effects that unrand weapons skip against dead monsters, I believe this may be the only one that doesn't require a living one to do something useful.)

Don't allow Shattering items which other items depend upon
ie: Shattering Vainglory with 4 cursed rings equipped (on a normal slot character) would also automatically shatter 2 of those rings without further prompt or interaction.
Now it is impossible to shatter an item that would require shattering other items as a consequence. The player will have to do that manually.

fix: Ash cursed item destruction bug (bobross419)
The item was being destroyed before unequip_item was called. As a result, the call to unequip_item did nothing at all. Because the item was already OBJ_UNASSIGNED, rather than being the specific item that unequip_item needed to handle.
This resulted in several bugs: * Visual artifacts (halo/umbra/etc) * Likely various messages not being printed * Possibly other persistent issues? E.g. update_vision_range not being called.

Increase poltergeist's translocations apt from -2 -> 0
They do seem like they could be better at forcibly moving things from one place to another (and there's been a lot of people calling for it), but I'm still just slightly hesitant on giving more and more things a strongly positive translocations aptitude, especially since that seems to co-occur with high hexes an oddly large percentage of the time.

Tweak recommended jobs for new species a little
Unrecommend gladiator and brigand for poltergeist (the former in particular is not a great fiit). In their place, I am electing to break from tradition and actually recommend chaos knight for a species - the random debuffs Xom throws around give poltergeists AC, and their chaos weapon does as well, creating a natural synergy. (And chaos knight is a better background in general than it used to be, since the last Xom changes.)
I am also recommending hexslinger, despite poltergeist's bad ranged apts, since Jinxbite is so immediately strong on them and Cause Fear is also enormously synergistic.
Also add a few reverse recommendations, mostly for revenant.

Change how Trickster AC bonus stacks and expires a little
While the maximum amount of AC poltergeists could get from Trickster was strictly capped by their XL, the amount of stacks in the background could be gained without limit (as long as you gained a new one every 6-9 turns). I'd intended this to allow a little bit of overflow so that debuffing many things at once at low XL still gave a more enduring benefit than just a couple, when the AC cap is still so low.
But in practice, this allows some fairly degenerate stacking at high XL with spells like Cause Fear, stacking up a very long duration of the effect.
Now, you can only overflow by 10 AC more than your max bonus, allowing a little wiggle room, but not nearly so much.
Additionally, stacks above 15 are half as likely to be earned, making it a little harder to reach the full bonus against lategame swarms.

Change a few things about vampire blood-drinking and thralls
Vampire lifestealing required the monster you were stabbing to not just be susceptible to vampirism, but also have blood. This was a holdover from how the vampire species's own lifesteal worked (and has an obvious thematic motivation), but it turns out that a *lot* of living monsters don't have blood when you might otherwise expect them to! Insects, worms, orb guardians, eyes, jellies, raijuu...
This isn't a consistent player-facing list and that makes it bad to base a player-facing ability off of. So instead, vampire vampirism now obeys the same rules as regular vamp and simply gets different *messages* for monsters who don't have blood. I wasn't able to make this list as comprehensive and specific as I'd like, but should cover the vast majority of cases one can encounter in the game.
At the same time, I am extending the number of things eligable to have thralls made of them. You can now additionally enthrall demons (even though they are immune to vampirism). Various ways to raise demons as undead are well-attested in the game at this point (the living/holy/demon trinity governs many such effects), and even if it's *mildly* weird that you can't drink their blood but *can* turn them, I think it may play better if this form's benefits don't turn off so completely in extended. It's already attempting to compete with one of the most popular forms.
In a future commit, I may make some adjustments to the scaling benefits vampires recieve (since it feels like skill training isn't terribly exciting for them at the moment), but this is hopefully a nudge in a positive direction nonetheless.

A non-generic icon for the missile-absorbing-jelly and a revamped Xak'krixis tile, specifically. Compared to the submission, the former had its colours adjusted more towards other Jiyva abilities and mutations, while the latter had several arms heavily adjusted to not have a book covered up by a weapon as well avoiding brandishing a weapon directly in front of their own face.

Fix spellclaw's damage multiplier never applying (Darby)
While the multiplier was *set* in a way that is seemingly correct, this parameter was only ever used for monster melee attacks and not player ones. This meant both that undertrained/slow weapons were attacking at full power when you cast spells, but also that enkindled melee attacks weren't getting the (sometimes fairly large!) damage bonus they were supposed to recieve at all.
I am... slightly unclear whether this is a net nerf or buff, but at the very least it was the intended design, so we can see how their power level feels after this.

Simplify map_cell definition

fix: remove undefined behavior from map_cell
Clang-tidy warns about these memcopies: * Undefined behavior, source object type 'const map_cell' is not TriviallyCopyable * Undefined behavior, destination object type 'map_cell' is not TriviallyCopyable
Pointer provenance / type-based aliasing analysis are part of the C++ standard, so this analysis seems correct.
* Remove the UB by changing to proper field-wise copies; compiler should optimize it pretty well, especially for the move case. * Simplify the operator== and != to do pointer comparison, as at present, the memcmp was comparing pointers that are unique per instance anyway. Leave a TODO about it. * Also leave some TODOs for future work I'll do in a follow-up PR. * Some general cleanup (e.g. ternaries where they make sense)

Fix Ravenous Swarm spell description

Allow attuning regeneration items if your max HP falls
Regen+ items are inactive when equipped while injured, until the player's HP returns to max. But if the player experienced an effect that lowered their max HP to equal or less than their current HP (most easily by using a talisman you didn't have quite enough skill for, but other ways are possible), no amount of resting would let them attune until the player took damage and then healed to full again after *that*.
Normally we want to avoid giving the player advantages for deliberately lowering their max HP with talismans, but in this case the advantage of 'attune instantly so that you regenerate faster' is rather overpowered by 'lose a lot of HP immediately'. And this avoids the player being put in regeneration limbo in normal gameplay, when using a mildly underskilled talisman (or perhaps even getting drained at an inopportune time).

Temporarily nerf nekomata (until later Pan reworks)
Nekomata were meant to be on par with Pan's tier-1 demons and the deployment of shrike bands in the Hells as preperation for eventual Hell-Pan roulette plans, with a variety of other monsters planned to be in the same rough space of difficulty for the same branch. Various other plans and focuses between the active devs for the 0.33 version ended up with only a few more small steps into said roulette plans, which has left them much more of a stand out in threat for Pan than was originally intended.
With the release coming around sooner or later, I'm opting to temporarily nerf nekomata until Pan itself gets both its reworks and its repositioning as part of those Hell-Pan roulette plans. Phantom Blitz now only hits from 5 tiles away, permitting casters to use Airstrike / Fire Storm / Fulsome Fusillade without getting additional summons in. Their weapon damage has been also somewhat nerfed, and they're less common to spawn both on regular Pan levels and on Lom's floor specifically. Several parts of this are likely to be partially reverted in the future, pending on what the endstate of those further Pan additions ends up as.
(While monster xp calculations are messy and the threat evaluation criteria clashes awkwardly with the experience values we want to actually hand out for a given game, when there's several less runes each game nekomata at the very least can also get the ~4000 xp status needed to make them always show up as a highlighted lethal threat.)

Yet more tension adjustments
Tension now tracks players being blind, vexed, constricted, engulfed, petrifying but not fully petrified, being unable to move from Momentum Strike or bolases, being unable to cast due to Sapped Magic, being marked by the Sign of Ruin, vainglory, and being in shallow water while neither capable of swimming or flying. On the monster side, tension also now tracks monsters being paralyzed, vexed, or chaos laced. Both have been refactored to make such thorough status checks both more compressed and easier to compare, which has minimal total effects (mostly in still tracking all player statuses while asleep / paralysed / petrified; most don't strictly make the given situation much worse, but they'll still be meaningful for whenever that status wears off). Tension will never be perfect, but it can at least continue to be closer to usable for broader purposes than Xom, one unrand, or Beogh.
(Additionally, to make it easier to assess these things on the regular, I've added a wizmode command to just directly output tension (&N) rather than having to run fulldebug and use something that checks tension in order see such.)

Make (glowing orange) brains unblindable
While blind resistance is relatively arbitrary in a number of cases, (do deep trolls use some sort of heat sense? can an early random hound really perfectly smell out the presence of a ghost enough to avoid its stabs?), the usage of jellies as creatures without eyes being unblindable somewhat reasonably extends towards floating disembodied brains managing to do the same, and it'd miss the organelle / weird magic flavour to give a floating brains explicit eyes anyway.

Remove deep dwarf dummy monsters
They're not actually placed in any species vaults except as flavour in unanimated skeleton forms, for the time between the removal of deep dwarves and the revival of mountain dwarves. Since the latter has been evidently successful, we can just use the dwarves that at least appear in playable and unique forms in the game instead of dwarves that don't (especially when "deep" manages to include "d:1"). It'll save another glyph-colour combination for other potential work, if nothing else....
(XXX: Probably we shouldn't append "removed" to skeleton items of removed monsters? This seems like a long-standing weirdness in general, at least.)

Fix teleport closets and connectivity in numerous vaults
This is a first pass using scripts/placement.lua to track down closets and other connectivity problems in vaults.
Initially began after a report by Darby on Discord regarding wad_woods_river_04 and turned into a rabbit hole once I discovered the script.
This first batch covered only about 1/5th of the vaults, but this script should probably be added to CI once everything is passing.
In most cases these were very simple mistakes in the vault definition, in some other cases involving more convoluted substitutions a reasonable fix was harder to find. In several instances vaults simply had to be added to the list of exceptions in placement.lua, for reasons explained there (perhaps a new tag should be added to the vault definitions instead, but for now the list is not too bad.)

Fix HP scaling when entering/exiting talisman forms (CanOfWorms)
When the player's max HP is adjusted by changing form via talisman, their current HP is supposed to be left alone. This is to discourage things such as shifting into a form with -90% max hp and then immediately leaving it for a big heal.
But the logic for this was subtly broken by 2dbd7c1 which changed which point in the complicated transformation sequence the player's 'default form' was set - resulting in the code thinking you were merely returning to that form after polymorph (which *is* supposed to scale your HP, so that you get bonus HP from drinking !lig, for instance.)
But apparently, even in 0.32, this logic was partially broken. It was possibly to instantly heal by shifting into an underskilled talisman, and then directly into a talisman that you *did* have skill for (eg: beast talisman).
Rather than rely on the finicky behavior of comparing current and default form, HP scaling is now controlled by a new argument passed to transformation functions, so that it should hopefully reliably happen where we want it to, and not when we don't.

It had a library directory that was relative to the solution directory, so when the build was changed from building it from the contribs solution to building from the crawl-ref solution it ended up wrong.

Generate the tile info when building crawl with MSVC
We used to only rebuild the tile info when building the tilegen project. However, this resulted in the tile info only being rebuilt when the source files of the tilegen project changed and not when the png files that make up the tiles etc changed. Building the tile info also depends on rltiles/dc-unrand.txt which is generated when building the crawl project.

It appears since c8711a1 it hasn't been true that serial_shops is used by Gozag code. Prior to that it was the case that Gozag would only call merchants to branches that already allowed random shops, so the comment is long redundant now.

Rename doubled vigour to doubled health (CarefulOdds)
The description here was flowery enough that players were uncertain about precisely what effects doubled vigour had, and it also wasn't possible to look this up on the ?/t status menu, because that's only setup to search for *player* statuses. As this effect simply doubles HP, it should be okay for us to lose the xv prose alluding to other possible effects here, and instead just say that it doubles health.

Fix new confusion/unaware icons not rendering in webtiles (Kab)

Give confusion its own icon, refactor some stab-tier related code
Using the same white question mark for Confusion and also for a monster merely not having yet notice the player (as well as a host of other things) caused recurring, well, confusion, in players. While this icon was *technically* indicating that low-tier stabs were possible, this meaning was opaque to most players (and confusion is a much more significant status than being distracted).
-Confusion now gets a yellow question mark instead -Distracted, unaware, and unable to see an invisible player retain their old white question mark -Nets, petrifying, and blindness no longer display an additional icon (since they already displayed an icon which fully implied the latter)
I also refactored several methods related to stabbing checks (removing, for instance, some old support for calculating stabbing tiers *by* monsters, as well as renaming confusing things like mons_looks_distracted and MB_DISTRACTED, neither of which meant that a monster would be described as distracted.)
I also added a new stab_type, STAB_BLIND to differentiate invis stabs from blindness stabs in action counts in dumps, since grouping them together was misleading in this context (ie: the only context most of these types are used.)
Finally, some hints mode code that used the refactored code has been adjusted, fixing some bugs in the process: -Monsters will no longer be described as 'unusual' just because they are asleep or friendly. (This message has been repurposed to explain the 'unusual item' hilight instead.) -Monsters will no longer be described as having 'not noticed you yet' because they're paralyzed. -Turning off console stab hilighting no longer removes messages about sleeping monsters. -Since sleeping monsters are no longer automatically considered 'interesting', I have loosened the danger tier required for this from nasty to tough.

Fix !lig turning flight items off (Ge0FF)
Tree form suppresses flight while active, and it suppressed it *so hard* that it wasn't even possible to see that a flight item was equipped on the player. But player::airborne() already accounts for tree form independently so there seems no need of equip_flight() also doing so.

Rename doubled vigour to doubled health (CarefulOdds)
The description here was flowery enough that players were uncertain about precisely what effects doubled vigour had, and it also wasn't possible to look this up on the ?/t status menu, because that's only setup to search for *player* statuses. As this effect simply doubles HP, it should be okay for us to lose the xv prose alluding to other possible effects here, and instead just say that it doubles health.

fix: overflow of overlays with Qazlal's Disaster area (prawnwizard)
In rare cases, you can exceed the 20 overlay limit.
Primarily due to duplicate overlays. This leads to a crash.
To fix this: * Deduplicate all overlays, not just the most recent * Reduce overlay cap to 16 instead of 20 for vectorization reasons * Make packed_cell fit into 196 bytes, because why not + cache alignment * Make add_overlay an instance method for convenience
Modern clang versions auto-vectorize and unroll this std::find nicely. GCC doesn't do quite as well, but at least clones/unrolls it 4 wide. We'll see if it's a win or not.

Tweak descriptions for scrolls and symbols of torment
Both mention that they only affect living creatures, despite also affecting holy creatures for dozens of versions. Alongside updating both of these to mention it, I'm mentioning rN partially resists it in the spell description, since we somehow list this next to nowhere in-game.
(TODO: We could probably really do with somebody going through all the busywork to explicitly flag every single spell in spl-data.h by the resists they check, alongside caring about AC and EV and SH, then just display this as a new line when examining specific spells. Having to list it in the description for every electric spell, many Ice-but-not-"cold" spells, and magma is already pretty ponderous, and the many newer cross-school spells of 0.32 / 0.33 have exacerbated this matter.)

Follow-up tweaks to semi-/recent commits
* c898128 forgot to make the new airstrike vfx alternate amongst each of their given potential tiles; this fix also comes with adding another tile to the weakest so they all can reasonably vary.
* 60181c1 forgot to remove the redundant web_immune tag from Dissolution when giving them the amorphous tag.
* Sphinx marauders (6ac722a) are doing decently terrifyingly for themselves, but have shown to be a bit noticeably strong for their earliest appearance in late D. Their experience has been nudged up from ~1150 to ~1425, enough to make them always display as Lethal in threat (and red-outlined in tiles) until XL 17, and also they've been nudged down a little bit in the D out-of-depths list so that they're excluded from D:14 9s.
* Tengu conjurers getting emergency Force Lance over emergency Blink in e136f0c was a reasonable concept to extend out their use of Battlesphere, made awkward by how emergency spells themselves are not greatly consistent on low-hp monsters in the first place. To make their display of it less confusing compared to other emergency-only spells mostly comprising of Blink or healing, they now get non-emergency access to it as well as an increased use of it in emergencies, similiar to how queen bee Berserk Other works out. Tengu conjurers aren't showing up as too particularly threatening statistically as a late D lightning bolt user or even compared to other tengu, so it shouldn't be much dangerous a nudge upwards.

Simplify Trog wrath
Many god wrath designs are very antiquated due to god wrath being one of the least prominent and least relevant systems within Crawl, existing in the bulk of circumstances for discouragement or to be squashed by special cases more than something to expect people to suffer through. While a small number are singularly straightforward (Ash, Oka), the many different older wraths list off various thematically appropriate effects held to strange standards (like direct damage or status not checking for combat, so they're just rested off unless the former directly kills the player). Most of them moulder until something either intersects with it by accident (like revisions to miscasts and stat damage) or happens to incidentally overlap in threat and theme.
Trog's wrath famously includes quite a few vicious Brothers In Arms, to make Berserkers leaving Trog quite difficult for a long while despite being one of the more tempting gods to leave (learning spells, getting given weapon gifts). It also features a lot of strange side-effects focused on theme over relevance that all just get rested off or uncontrollably kill a given blaspheming apostate:
* Weakness, recently replacing mostly-irrelevant strength loss, still not actually checking whether or not any enemies are nearby; * Slowing, at least reasonably connected to Berserk, also very common between three other wraths and a small chance on all wraths; * Paralysis, no longer connected to Berserk since 0ac0241, shared with several other thematic wraths * Fireballs, meant to be physical and not magical despite there being no precedence or follow-up on this concept ever since, also sharing the same issues as other damage and non-combat status wraths.
All of these non-summon effects have been replaced with a combination of two debuffs, applying both Weak and Vexed (f4f8fba). The latter effect being nothing but attacking in place reasonably thematically and mechanically invokes how Berserk focuses on doing the same while being fairly worse, kept in check for even former Trog worshippers through the presence of the former effect. Compared to prior, this checks for both one's current health and a survivable band of tension (which has been reasonably improved over the past few versions and prevents just standing around early D enemies), rather than just triggering at random while one travels or rests or sits in a closet. Since this is fairly more dangerous than before, the summon wrath effect has been somewhat mildly tweaked downward in level scaling.
This should hopefully all make it easier to explain the wrath, remove a variety of bland repeated effects for something consistently iconically terrifying, and also grant another home to the new Vex mechanic. Ideally in the future other god wraths could be simplified with extant or future mechanics (like crunching Beogh wrath down to apostles, Makhleb wrath down to a Crucible visit, or Sif and Vehumet wrath down to implementing various monster temporary-spell-statuses concepts).
(This also comes with adding Vex duration to run notes. We track paralysis but not petrification in the notes, mostly due to the former's lethality compared to the latter being diluted by basilisks; with the current homes for the status being god wrath or a quite intimidating Shoals monster, it seems reasonably closer to paralysis enough to also track.)

Ever-incremental vault review
Worthy of note:
* The weaker Snake ends have small numbers of tyrant's traps and archmage's traps placed in them, to further emphasize the branch's prominence of traps pushed up in 19588f4, to help differentiate the ends beyond more or less concentration of the same enemies, and to also hopefully even out the gaps between rune vaults there.
* The small number of trove scroll options have been re-weighted, most noticeably giving out less torment or immolation scrolls in exchange for more ally scrolls and some poison scrolls. They also no longer give weapon or armour scrolls to Felids.
* The Elf:2 hall of blades weapons code has been cleaned up a fair bit.
* A small number of overflow vaults that could place before the minimum overflow altar depth of D:3 have been properly shoved further deeper.
* A selection of severely-underperforming Depths and Zot vaults (ones with one kill or less in the past three versions) have been tweaked upwards in threat.
* skrybe_chaotic_catacombs joins the nine other theme vaults set up to place on D:$ as a themed Depths entry vault.

Exclude new sphinxes from Bestow Arms
While they're meant to wear armour, they're not meant to wield any size of weapons with any of many not-great options (lion paws, telekinetic magic, prehensile hair, or a human's mouth). As such, I'm adjusting the logic for Bestow Arms to skip over monsters that lack AT_HIT or AT_WEAP_ONLY attacks (the two attack types that actually use a given weapon), and adjusting both sphinxes' attack types to avoid using just AT_HIT. (Possibly it'd be nice to have an AT_BATTER for battering with wings for attacks like marauder AF_AIRSTRIKE, but I suspect many would parse that as being hit with batter or a bat.)

Cast OTR with uppercase Z when all enemies resist poison (CrawlOdds)
When casting Olgreb's toxic radiance with no enemies in view, it would give the message "You can't see any susceptible monsters within range! (Use Z to cast anyway)". However, when casting with only poison resistant and immune enemies in view, it would cast normally even though it couldn't effect anything. Fix this inconsistency by also requiring uppercase Z to cast with only poison reistant and immune enemies in view.
This change also fixes a bug where monsters would always act as if they could see invisibly even when they couldn't when deciding whether to cast OTR.
Fixes #3957

Exclude new sphinxes from Bestow Arms
While they're meant to wear armour, they're not meant to wield any size of weapons with any of many not-great options (lion paws, telekinetic magic, prehensile hair, or a human's mouth). As such, I'm adjusting the logic for Bestow Arms to skip over monsters that lack AT_HIT or AT_WEAP_ONLY attacks (the two attack types that actually use a given weapon), and adjusting both sphinxes' attack types to avoid using just AT_HIT. (Possibly it'd be nice to have an AT_BATTER for battering with wings for attacks like marauder AF_AIRSTRIKE, but I suspect many would parse that as being hit with batter or a bat.)

Cast OTR with uppercase Z when all enemies resist poison (CrawlOdds)
When casting Olgreb's toxic radiance with no enemies in view, it would give the message "You can't see any susceptible monsters within range! (Use Z to cast anyway)". However, when casting with only poison resistant and immune enemies in view, it would cast normally even though it couldn't effect anything. Fix this inconsistency by also requiring uppercase Z to cast with only poison reistant and immune enemies in view.
This change also fixes a bug where monsters would always act as if they could see invisibly even when they couldn't when deciding whether to cast OTR.

Ever-incremental vault review
Worthy of note:
* The weaker Snake ends have small numbers of tyrant's traps and archmage's traps placed in them, to further emphasize the branch's prominence of traps pushed up in 19588f4, to help differentiate the ends beyond more or less concentration of the same enemies, and to also hopefully even out the gaps between rune vaults there.

Properly grant more body armour to deep elf / high priest monsters
Deep elf spellcasting monsters have a strange chance to vary heavily in body armour, ranging from none to chain mail and managing to leave out the robes many elves visibly wear. This might be an antique relic from when robes were far better than other light armour options or when there were substantially more low-tier elves, but now that neither of these are too pressingly true they're very conspicuous in their body armour variance compared to most other monsters, with an eight-year old comment pointing it out. (In particular, deep elf knights have tiles that visually give them heavier armour than deep elf archers, yet the latter consistently get leather compared to the former mostly having nothing on.)
This commit removes their chance for no armour, replacing it entirely with robes, while also removing the highest AC roll of chain mail, which few player deep elves are casting crystal spears in. Aside from hurting LRD a little, this mostly shouldn't be of too much pressure considering only one of them is at a point where a robe's ac would noticeably mean much (pyromancers).
(In the same capacity, with no Beogh provisions of high priests any more, they can also use a mild nudge up to have the same offerings instead of mostly wearing nothing. The plain orcs and plain orc priests don't get this change, however, since they're early enough that the robes would actually make a meaningful difference, and since the rare chance to get chain mail is of at least some interest for very early game characters.)

Split sphinxes into earlier marauders and later guardians
Sphinxes are rather weird for their very broad uses throughout the game. They're out-of-depth highlight threats in post-Lair D, bosses for one end vault for Shoals, a mostly mid-tier monster in the later reaches of Vaults and Depths, flavour monsters in Crypt, and a fixed cluster of threats at the start of Tomb. They work fine at their far ends here, but serve for weird encounters throughout midgame and lategame, since they've been fairly power-crept compared to brains and liches and earthen tomes as hexes monsters. Altogether, this leaves them in an awkward state, as their placement regularly presume they're more of high-tier threats in their deployment places despite placing across most of the game.
This split, compared to the arcanist / occultist split of 129f0b0, isn't really meant to reduce the presence of any particular gimmick (though it does lower early paralysis a tiny bit). What this is instead meant to do is let both uses of the monster being effectively scary while broadening a little bit of themes and flavour for Shoals, a debuff-focused branch that struggles with more enemy archetype flavour variety beyond dozens of merfolk leading other mostly-human hybrids plus monsters borrowed from other places entirely (whether appropriately thematic, as with original sphinxes and titans, or deeply reaching, like angels and deep elves). While the branch has a lot of Will checking effects, for the most part swapping in more Willpower is a luxury of less annoyance compared to encountering 1 (one) fenstrider witch in the opposite branch; this should hopefully make the resist be worth considering for Shoals, especially when the new hex works nastily with common reaching monsters...
* Sphinx marauders are the earlier-game and newer of the two sphinxes, and are flavoured more around the bloodthirsty sphinx of Mount Phicium. They have AF_AIRSTRIKE (see abc8f7a), an incidental cast rate for Confuse, and the parent commit's somewhat terrifying Vex status. Both hexes prevent the player from making it to safer ground to get away from relatively serious melee damage, but characters with ranged offenses can do more before the sphinx gets close, and characters with melee offenses are more fine with being stuck in place attacking. They appear in late D out-of-depths, rarely late in Shoals as top-tier threats with a chance of a duo of harpies (who have battiness to work with both major gimmicks), and in V:1-4 with a good chance of the other sphinx (to give V a little more to work with, and to make the other sphinx a little less common for its buff.)
* Guardian sphinxes are the previous plain lategame "sphinx" monster, now more focused in flavour on the recurring grave/temple-guarding apotropaic variety of sphinx. They're granted a bit more to all stats- most noticeably, in HD, HP, and spell cast rate, so that they're more likely to succeed at hexing characters past the point where willpower swaps / main gear is common. They appear occasionally in V:1-4, at the current semi-regularity in Depths and in Crypt vaults, and in the the Tomb:1 main area entrance with a slight numbers decrease.
(Monstrous Menagerie gets a flat upgrade in access to guardian sphinxes, as its position as a ranged monster summon doesn't particularly stand out post-Forgecraft, nor is it particularly effective at raw damge nor body-blocking compared to other high-level Summoning spells. The spell could do with revisions at some point in the future. Kirke also doesn't have much of a high killratio compared to other uniques in her depth range like Nessos and Rupert and Urug, so she can also take the buff. To emphasize them as being something more purposeful than just being another random beast, and to help with some potential future plans, both are equipped with not-visible-on-their-tile cloaks as draconian classes have been using for many years.)
The guardian sphinx tile is mostly just an edit of the current base sphinx tile by Denzi to have darker skin and golden accessories. The sphinx marauder tile mixes in said sphinx tile both roctavian's human Erica tile and a CC0 wing icon by frosty_rabbid.

Improve reaping brand messaging.
_make_derived_undead() now allows overriding the default success and failure messages (the "mist gathering" ones). Do this for kills using the reaping brand, so that its messages are only displayed when monsters are successfully spectralised (and visible to the player).
The failure message only applies to zero-headed hydras, which should be impossible to get with a reaping brand, but it's in place just in case a bladed weapon somehow gets both the flaming and reapling brands, or otherwise non-reapable monsters of living holiness get added.

Initial distribution of the new trap quartet
Alongside the previous commits each placing traps naturally, this also handles and tweaks a fair number of vaults and branches. Most worthy of note:
* The Zot:5 entrance traps have been reworked, removing the chance for both corridors to be completely blocked off by traps. 25% of the time, one corridor will be blocked off by at least one trap, while the other will be traversible but have two of the newer traps lining the entrance and exit. This is meant to still punish standing in the corridor as a chokepoint or retreating repeatedly through it, but also allow reasonably consistently moving through the path compared to the teleport or dispersal options, plus add a little more variety compared to before.
* Tomb's traps have been diluted a little with tyrant's traps and marginally less traps placed overall. If we get more traps in the same buff / debuff veins as prior, then more probably should be deployed in the branch- the power creep has been rather excessive for the branch due to the binary nature of relying on torment.
* Snake and Vaults both now have a slightly higher natural-spawns trap count, now that they have weaker traps to work with: Snake gets a flat +2 per floor, and Vaults gets +1. As has been mentioned in previous trap addition commits, both of these branches need more to stand out with on variety and fanciness levels compared to other branches near them; there is also zero guarantee these traps will end up anywhere near monsters or vaults anyway.
* The two bailies with the worst kill statistics in the current stable and trunk versions (bailey_axe_4 and bailey_polearm_nasty_gnolls) both get tyrant's traps in them to both buff them and have a little bit of an earlygame introduction to later trap mechanics.
* A small number of abyssal rune vaults with the worst kill statistics in current and trunk versions, as well as several underperforming Abyss vaults that can appear outside of the Abyss, now have harlequin's traps and devourer's traps, for both connecting more flavour together and helping said vaults along.
* To emphasize wizlabs having more prominent and fancy gimmicks, Alistair's Party Mansion now gets harlequin traps, and Yara's Duelist Academy gets archmage's traps, both far away from their given layout's original bosses.
For the most part, these flavour-focused traps either should rely on direct connections to gods, spells, or unrands appropriate to a branch (e.g. archmage's traps for Vehumet vaults with several branch-sourced spellcasters), or the branch placements already established in the random_trap_for_place() function. The main exceptions are late D (where there still should be some caution in throwing around too many of these), Zot, and Ziggurats.

New trap: devourer's trap, corroding players
This trap is a very-delayed follow-up to b65a573 producing the very strange flavour of monsters praying to Lugonu to corrode their foes, while the Abyss contains minimal corrosion and Lugonu contains zero corrosion abilities. As such, this trap contains the most obviously divergent flavour of any of the traps: the description mentions the stomaches of unseen extradimensional beasts, akin to the tentacles of a tainted otherworld like Malign Gateway creates (and keeping some space open for the finishing of PR #3775).
This rather abstract trap corrodes the player (with normal rCorr checks) 2/3 times it's stepped on. While a couple of branches successfully deploy corrosive effects (entropy weavers in Spider, Slime, Dis), the effect is relatively rare enough it can spare a bit more broader usage. It's not the most exciting effect (neither using a new buff like harlequin's traps nor combining player debuffs and buffs like tyrant's traps and archmage's traps), but the capacity to use more traps in branches and vaults overall benefits from simple traps that still meaningfully affect combat.
This trap rarely spawns naturally in Slime, Pandemonium, and will be placed in a number of Abyss vaults. Slime wants for more variety (even if corrosion is pretty common already) and further obfuscates the origins of Jiyva's invasion (hi, starry gem), the Abyss has its aforementioned connection to corrupters, and Pandemonium is connected to the Abyss as well as also being in need of more differentiating variety in its infinite length.

New trap: harlequin's trap, granting AF_CHAOS to monsters
With the reworks to chaos starting from 196b491 onwards, chaos effects are safe enough to deploy in broader circumstances. With a multitude of renewed and flavourful chaotic gods to lean on these days, a trap that can be used in their vaults and which isn't reliant on weapon wielding can reasonably distribute this in a novel fashion compared to the limted ways chaos is currently deployed.
These harlequin's traps only have effects if monsters are in sight, and grant 20 to 28 turns of a new chaos-wreathed status to two or three highest-HD non-holy monsters in sight of the trap without the status (or innate chaotic attacks). This works somewhat like the Ignis wrath flame-wreathed status in replacing the attack flavour of a monster's first attack, except with AF_CHAOTIC instead of AF_FIRE, and no damage or speed buffs. (It thus stacks with monster melee weapons, but not ranged weapons). It should provide an interesting variation of the common use of Might throughout the game in letting monsters try to apply debuffs or harder-to-resist damage in melee, and also provide a more novel rare sight amongst the various other trap mechanics added in this commit batch.
This trap rarely spawns naturally in the Depths, Zot, and Pandemonium. Zot has some of the strongest chaotic monsters in the game (proteans / klowns / orbs of fire / Tiamat), Pandemonium has its lords, and Depths is close to both while benefitting from a little more explicit connective tissue in its own burgeoning fae flavour. The performance flavour for chaos hopefully will also help lead a little more into the sudden appearance of klowns before their appearance in Zot, while reasonably still feeling somewhat traditional in fantasy thematics; Xom certainly would approve, anyway.

New trap: archmage's trap, draining player mp + granting brilliance
The natural follow-up to a melee-focused trap is a magic-focused trap. These mystic traps steal from the player's magic (by draining 33% of one's current mp) to grant Brilliance to two or three strongest hostile spellcasters without Brilliance in the trap's sight (i.e. 20-28 turns of casting spells more often with higher effective HD). Draining mp affects both spellcasters and a large number of invocations, while brilliance for the right monsters should be reasonably dangerous.
(This doesn't preclude the usage of mp drain on Zot traps, as it is only a portion of one's mp reliably versus Zot traps draining all of one's mp on a rare basis.)
This trap spawns in Snake, Elf, and Depths naturally. Snake continues to need more differentiation as a Lair branch, it heavily suits the flavour of Elf and helps the branch a little more past its large vault dependence, and Depths is one of the most magical branches in the game between the fae, the magic giants and flighty animals, and literal walking spellbooks even before all the various other wizards in it, helping more with the V versus Depths split.

New trap: tyrant's trap, weakening players + mighting monsters
With the steady removal of mechanical / direct damage traps, there have been strange consequences as well as large amounts of design space both opened up by the lack of weaker trap types. The orb chamber's double-trap arrangement can lead to fiddly, tedious tactics at what is meant to be the climax of the game, Tomb has continued to creep more steadily upwards in threat due to its extreme reliance on torment, and vaults can't establish a place as fortified without jumping straight to alarm and net traps at minimum (incidentally losing most of the original Ossuary gimmick).
As such, I'm starting up a set of weaker traps, aimed both at helping out these cases and providing more flexible + tangible flavour for both vaults and given branches than The Power of Zot or translocations or infinite net machines. They will still follow the same current paradigm as Zot and alarm traps, where players and hostiles alike walking onto a trap hurls an effect at the player, to help keep the nature of traps straightforward enough to easily learn.
Tyrant's traps are for militaristic contexts. Whenever the player or a hostile monster steps on the trap, it will steal from the player's melee capabilities (by inflicting 10-14 turns of Weak, capped at 50) in order to empower two or three highest-hd monsters in sight (by granting 20-28 turns of Might). If there are no monsters in sight, the Weak is still applied. (While this and other upcoming traps could mildly annoying to rest off if there aren't any further monsters in sight, with pre-revealed traps it's rare to need to activate traps to explore a floor, and when it does block off a path it's nowhere near the annoyance dispersal and teleport traps can invoke in the same capacity, so it should be a net reduction in annoyance.) This swing should hopefully force melee-centric characters to switch tactics, while still being relevant for other characters as Might has shown to work throughout the game.
These traps rarely spawn naturally in Orc, Snake, and Vaults. Orc could do with more unique components beyond the orcs regularly used elsewhere, Snake struggles in terms of variety and distinction versus the other Lair branches (plus it contains both status effects already), and V needs more thematic aspects to help establish it as an organized branch versus the Depths shortly after it. Each of these traps will come with a slight decrease for shafts (which are now mostly helpful for players in the actually visible form) and dispersal traps (which are roughly comparable in helping monsters and hurting the player on a short-term basis).
(The messaging is kind of weird- I'm not super happy with my options, but "constitution" reads as max hp drain and "power" is used regularly for mp. With no actual statdrain in the game anymore as of de20453, hopefully people will notice the Weak status being gained instead of expecting actual lost "strength".)

Split 'unknown jewellery' on autopickup menu (ge0FF)
Now it shows 'unknown amulets' and 'unknown rings' instead (with each of these toggling off just the relevant category instead of having to do both at once).

Don't allow [A]lways ignoring randarts for autopickup
Selecting [A] for a randart jewellery item currently causes autopickup to turn off for all unidentified jewellery. But [A]lways has a poorly-defined meaning for randart jewellery in the first place. While it is possible to deduce the type of a randart amulet, it often is literally impossible to do this for rings, so having [A]lways just disable autopickup for that subtype would lead to very opaque behavior, even for experienced players.
Also: in most cases, it doesn't make *gameplay* sense for a player to exclude all randarts of a given type, since their artprops can easily be far more important and aren't predictable. You may not want to wear an Amulet of the Acrobat, but how many people would consider that to mean they also wanted to ignore {Acrobat, rF++ Int+8 Slay+5}?
So, this commit disables the [A]lways option when being prompted over artefacts.
It *additionally* disables it for stacks of items, since it seems very unlikely that one wants to disable type autopickup of a bunch of items at once that just happen to be standing on the same spot. (And what would it do if the stack contained both artefacts and non-artefacts?)

Some tweaks to equip_slot_name for better backwards-compatibility with lua
The equip slot refactor changed the output of equip_slot_name largely for visible UI reasons, without fully considering the effect on existing lua scripts.
I have opted to return clua .subtype() to its old lower-cased output (and even make body armour return "body" again.
The one persistant change is that bardings are still separate of boots (and shields/orbs return 'offhand' rather than 'shield'), which I think is worth breaking some backwards compatibility for.
I also updated the aux armour autopickup script in advanced_optioneering to account for bardings.

Remove GLU dependency
Avoid depending on deprecated GLU library by dynamically loading OpenGL 3+ function glGenerateMipmap where available. If it's not available, Where it's not, we just render without mipmapping.
Note that for a lot of resolution / rc setting / zoom level combos, we don't mipmap anyway, and this PR doesn't change those cases at all.
Also note that OpenGL 3.0 was released in 2008. glGenerateMipmap is available even on decade old GPUs and iGPUs as a result. For players running truly ancient GPUs and systems that supported GLU, but not OpenGL 3, and who happened to have just the right setup for us to enable mipmapping, we will now render without it.
If anyone actually does turn out to be affected, they may be able to use a version of llvmpipe that supports OpenGL 3+ as a software renderer. llvmpipe is available on Linux and Unix-like systems.
Also note we could turn on mipmapping on GLES targets according to https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL-Refpages/es3.0/html/glGenerateMipmap.xhtml.
This may be quite useful for low resolution screens, like older android phones. But I'll leave that for a future commit.

Fix religious abilities having the wrong hotkeys for zealot starts (Kab)
God invocations default to being mapped to a/b/c/etc. and Renounce Religion is mapped to 'X'. But since 2dbd7c1 zealot starts would have Renounce Religion on 'f', and god abilities like berserk start at 'g'. (Joining said god later on worked properly.)
The reason for this was rather opaque, but essentially: the new equip system causes equip_item() to be called for the player's starting equipment and this calls check_item_hint() which grabs a list of the player's current abilities (to see if they have gained any, so that hints mode can teach the player about that). Getting a list of abilities automatically applies hotkeys to any the player has which don't have any yet (and the new character already worships their god at this point, so Renounce Religion, Berserk, etc. are given default keybinds.) By the time set_god_ability_slots() was called, they already had keybinds and so were not given any, resulting in this issue.
I have elected to resolve this by having set_god_ability_slots() delete even abilities that belong to your current god, so they can be assigned fresh (this is only ever called in newgame and upon joining a god, so this seems safe.). Renounce Religion is handled slightly differently and given a default keybind in find_ability_slot(). This technically means that if the player has something already assigned to X when they join a god, that it will end up elsewhere instead. I'm not sure this matters.

Fix some weird effects with Ash and the tiles item window (Darby)
If someone was worshipping Ash, had some cursed equipment, and moved their mouse over equipment in the local tiles inventory panel, it could cause the visible equip status of those items to change (and also print messages to the log and maybe even identify items....)
Basically, mouseover creates the item description tooltip, which does the equipment preview, which quietly swaps equipment in the background to see your new stats. But because one call to ash_check_bondage() was in the wrong place, doing so could change your piety in the midle of the preview, causing messages to print and redrawing the inventory in the middle of what should otherwise be an invisible action.
This is hopefully fixed now.

These were once used as part of the early AC change previews, but the current system that actually puts on arbitrary items temporarily has superceded that for a while. The only remaining user of these functions for anything other than 'the armour you are actually wearing' is the description for !lig, and that can use the same logic as forms checking for flight (ie: temporarily transform and then look at our resulting stats). This is a lot heavier weight, but for this purpose that's fine (and by the code's own admission, it didn't properly restrict itself to the passed set of items anyway.
This also fixes shields of protection no longer giving AC.

Fix bucklers not showing up when using ctrl+f for 'shield'
The shield slot in menus was renamed to the offhand slot (orbs exist, after all!), which apparently was passed on to the stash search inscriptions. (Other shields still showed up since those have 'shield' in the name).
Since this is all done by lua, this commit solves that by exposing is_shield to clua and using this to additionally add the {shield} tag to shields.

Remove an outdated vault
The vault gammafunk_ghost_stat_death was very much thematically tied to stat drain, both in terms of monsters and loot. Now that stat drain is removed, rather than trying to shoehorn in something about mutation/polymorph, I think it's ok to just remove this vault. The exact layout is already used by another more memorable vault, gammafunk_ghost_berserking_beasts. I had intended to make the two vaults have distinct and more randomized layouts at some point, but never got around to it. Thankfully stat drain removal gives a simple way to remedy the distinctiveness problem!

Allow formicids to wear a second pair of gloves
For years, players have periodically asked why formicids can't wear gloves on their second pair of hands. And the answer has mostly been about the pain of implementing this, rather than any compelling balance reason not to.
And now implementing this is easy! So let's give it a go.

New unrand: the Crown of Vainglory
A fragile +3 crown that grants Will+ and *two* extra ring slots. But its ostentatious majesty comes with a (hopefully) commensurate downside: whenever you enter a floor, you immediately wake up all enemies in sight of where you arrive and are forbidden from taking stairs for a decent while after doing so. One as grand as you surely wouldn't flee from danger like a common peasant?
(Tile credit to regret-index, using CanOfWorm's Crown of Eternal Torment tiles, plus CC0 rpg item assets by Jetral)
(It also gives the player a radius 0 halo, which confers no mechanical upside, but does give the usual mechanical *downsides*. But you look fabulous, so why should you care?)

New unrand: the Fungal Fisticloak
A living cloak covered in tiny symbiotic wandering mushrooms, it occupies the helmet slot as well (and gives HP-10, Str-2, Int-2), but grants an extra glove slot for the mushroom colony's own 'fists'.
The cloak will also sometimes use those fists of its own volition; each turn there is 1 in 4 chance for the cloak to launch a special aux attack at a random adjacent enemy, which itself has a 1 in 3 chance to briefly inflict confusion from its spores. This can happen regardless of what else the player is doing (though attacks do tend to trigger it more often, just from being quicker actions.) As an aux attack, it should also be affected by slaying, strength, and anything else that would work on normal auxes.
Finally a solution to how friendly wandering mushrooms are too shy to move in the presence of enemies: you can move *for* them! (And who wouldn't want a cute mushroom pal to have their back in the dungeon?)
(Tile credit to regret-index, using Denzi's old cloak of the Thief, tormentor, and giant centipede tiles, mixed with CC0 mushrooms by Surt.)

fix: handle gozag shopping list + abandonment interaction
When abandoning gozag, shops are abandoned as well. This is primarily handled via a daction when entering the level, but the shopping list was also supposed to be cleaned up immediately. This was implemented by doing an excursion to every level with a shop, triggering dactions as a side effect. Unfortunately, since 063869c3723ef6c1 in 2019 dactions haven't been run on excursions. I think that this change back then may have been accidental, but running dactions on excursions seems like a crazy / risky thing to do, so I'm pretty hesitant to restore this behavior.
This commit provides a straightforward fix that just explicitly runs gozag cleanup code from the shopping list. I actually wonder if, instead of implementing this by dactions + shopping list code, gozag code should directly clean up every shop at the time of abandonment. This would fix some other lingering sync issues; for example, interlevel maps / travel.
This commit does not include save compat; it'd probably be possible to reuse old save compat code to do this. But affected players can easily fix the crashes by removing items from their shopping list.

Make evokers stackable (#4215)
XP evokers that repeatedly generated throughout the game were unsatisfying because all except the first were useless. However, xp evokers only generating once led to some feel-bad moments with bazaar shops and other areas where an item can be permanently lost. So let's try a new system. Evokers stack, increasing their recharge rate as their plus increases, up to +5 maximum. A +5 evoker recharges in half the time compared to a +0 one, and the evocations skill formula has been adjusted slightly to compensate - 27 skill now charges in half the time of 0 skill. These effects stack multiplicatively. Further number adjustments are likely in the near future. Co-authored-by: DracoOmega

Change screen colours during paralysis and petrification
When a player falls asleep, the screen darkens, matching their eyelids closing. From a mechanical perspective, this is weird, as paralysis and petrification are more common and frequently longer than being set asleep and often immediately waking up again from being hit. From a flavour perspective, fantasy petrification turning one's eyes to stone is often not the greatest for vision either. Of the other statuses, petrification in particular is weirdly inconsistent and easy to be abruptly confused about due to the double-petrification rules, and could use a bit of an aide.
This colours the screen lightgrey while one is petrified, matching one's newly stony eyes. To fit alongside this, the screen turns blue while one is paralysed, which somewhat matches the hexes colours and doesn't overlap with Corrupting Pulse flashes or force_more flashes. Since both statuses don't allow player interaction anyway, it shouldn't obfuscate too much underneath. (I suspect quite a few people who don't read commit messages or changelogs will be confused and alarms by the screen changing colours, but in these particular cases it's fortunately completely correct that something bad has in fact occurred, so it shouldn't be too much trouble).

Since Dig for Victory as popularised in Nethack is supposed to involve going down a level (in fact multiple levels) to reach Victory, the hatch is arguably the most appropriate place for this toga!

Exclude artefacts from drop_disables_autopickup (DemifiendCruithne)
Here we follow from ac1af34cca and exclude artefacts from interacting with the drop_disables_autopickup option, on the grounds that (like missiles) artefacts aren't meaningfully distinguished using type-id.
N.b. currently, we're using `is_artefact()` as a pseudo item id flag throughout the code, mostly for descriptions. There may be more minor bugs lurking related to inconsistent handling of type id with (jewellery and magical staff) artefacts, because we're relying on manually calling is_artefact() during checks related to type id, which seems really easy to forget about.

More recent versions of Debian have started to require the installation of libglu1-mesa and libglu1-mesa-dev to get GL/glu.h.

Updating the OpenGL portion of our Tile code is not part of my skill set, so for now I'll just include the packages we need to get the headers we need for compilation.

There may be more minor bugs lurking related to inconsistent handling of type id with (jewellery and magical staff) artefacts, because we're relying on manually calling is_artefact() during checks related to type id, which seems really easy to forget about.
Resolves #4197 (again)

Revert "Fix drop_disables_autopickup artefact interactions"
As reported by DemifiendCruithne, the fix in 5a1d68acde didn't properly handle picking up and dropping artefacts with previously unknown type-ids. The player could pick them up, drop them, and have autopickup disabled for, e.g., all jewellery.
We generally exclude artefacts from interacting with type-ids throughout the code -- this is intentional, and 5a1d68acde was incorrect. I'm fixing this differently in a following commit.
This reverts commit 5a1d68acde340c43e86384e4ac4fb337e20daf5f.

Update the list of required Tiles packages (Cgettys)
More recent versions of Debian have started to require the installation of libglu1-mesa and libglu1-mesa-dev to get GL/glu.h.
I'll not here that some cursory searches about this header point to it being part of the OpenGL utilities library, which is something that is no longer maintained and should no longer be used. Updating the OpenGL portion of our Tile code is not part of my skill set, so for now I'll just include the packages we need to get the headers we need for compilation. Long term, we should probably look to modernising our OpenGL code, since functions we're depending on may not be around much longer.
Closes #4200, closes #3998.

Fix stash resist inscriptions for dragon scales (Lici)
In 008097b4cb, dragon scale body armour resist inscriptions stopped autoinscribing. This happened because body armour basenames began prepending "+0", which caused our (extremely brittle) lua autoinscription code to get confused when alphanumeric string matching -- it was now trying to match a table of armour name strings against '0'.
Here I'm "fixing" this by changing the alphanumeric pattern to match just alpha instead, which should restore the old match behavior. Surely this could be made less brittle, but I hate this.

Fix weird Mercury Arrow autotarget issues (Lici)
In an attempt to needlessly avoid including the player in its AoE effect (since it can't affect the caster anyway), the autotargeter would sometimes try to aim at another monster instead of the 'intended' target. Though, because of the explosive bolt style targeting, it couldn't simply aim to the side like with fireball, and would only do this if another enemy was positioned exactly so that you could hit *them* while including the main target in the weakness AoE effect - leading to this behavior seeming random.
By marking this spell as never affecting the player, the targeting should behave more normally.

Add a hopefully-clarifying statement to Searing Ray cast message (ge0FF)
Searing Ray normally locks onto a monster you cast it on, tracking their position across several turns. But if you cast the spell with . instead (ie: the general 'aim at spot' key), it would, well, aim at the spot instead and *not* track the monster. This was surprising to some players.
I don't feel this behavior is inconsistent with . in general, but it was said that a message might improve clarity a little, so I have added one to announce the player's target lock upon casting, if they have one. Possibly this is a minor improvement?

Fix the way the scroller works when a menu grows.
Previously, if a player had a spell library containing every spell, searching it for "hat" led to Shatter being selected. Searching for "a" after this led to Shatter still being selected, but only the top of the spell list being displayed.
This happened because UIMenu::update_items() resized item_info but didn't set the x, y, row or column fields, and UIMenu::get_item_region() relied on those being up to date.

New Zot metal wall tiles
These tiles are further follow-ups to bd611b0, 668cce9, and 8e166ad, each all trying to try and make the endgame a little more visually fancy and more thematically unique, as well as to help provide more theme cues for future vault deployments beyond reusing monsters from other branches. Unlike most metal tiles, these are rather detailed instead of two-part slabs- originally meant to illustrate draconic scales, they ended up feeling somewhat like a jagged void, befitting the unholy realms holding the runes of Zot and the casual presence of various strong undead within the branch. They should still read as metal due to their desaturation and gleam, at least, and probably won't read as stone or crystal due to the former trending towards visibly discrete parts and the latter bearing rainbow facets.
(They're made from a CC0 skill icon by frosty_rabbid and the current metal wall tiles by Bloax. This commit comes with a little extra deployment of the metal tile in some Zot entry vaults and a little adjustment to not use too much of the tile for allusions that it doesn't fit, like the vaults meant to echo the Vaults.)

Prevent getting out-of-bounds in meatsprint (#4153)
[PR #4153 does two seperate things:
* Due to newer spells and Djinn access to them, it's possible to be shoved into the spawning teleport room with judicious use of Hellfire Mortar and letting walls seal themselves back up enough times. The PR adds a single-tile box of generic permarock: I'm making it much thicker in case further problems eventually arise, and also giving it the tile + name of the Crucible's permarock (which directly matches up, of course).
* It also buffs the weapon stats of most of the monsters' weapons, which marginally increases their threat value but also goes over the limits of what weapons can normally get. I'm a little conscientious about the possibility in the indefinite future state of Crawl that somebody might further crunch down on weapon stat caps (c.f. 5a0b83f and 6a47537), and it pulls attention away from the much better joke of the slay rings increasing indefinitely higher, so I've left that out (and thus just am addressing the PR directly in this seperate commit).
Closes #4153.]

New start-up and clockwork bee tiles (#4102)
"The Orb of Zot on top of the leader board sprite is outdated, and the tile size was inconsistent. Descent startup tile also needed an upgrade. The new one shows stairs descending deeper into the dungeon."
[Commiter's notes: Changed the Descent icon to both have more depth / height to each step and to use a red palette- gold palettes on the starting menu are more information based compared to red changing the mode's behaviour entirely, and it also corresponds to hatches being red.
The clockwork bee tile submission has been heavily adjusted, keeping the gear of the current one in order to make it more obviously mechanical versus the ally circle in-game and deploying a palette unlike the current or the submitted tile to match other Forgecraft tiles Sastreii made. (Sastreii will replace a large number of Forgecraft tiles as is at some point in the future, but updating the tile to have a wind-up key seems harmless enough to me.)
Closes #4102.]

Update DES syntax documentation on artprops

9283c139d4 | 2024-12-28 20:52:23 -0600 | gammafunk
Reroll items that conflict with any fixed artprops
The artprops keyword in an item_spec induces an item to be a random artefact, but with the specified artefact properties always present. A problem arises when the base type or sub type of the item is randomized, since specific base/sub types can conflict with the specified properties. For example, "any ring artprops:rF:1" will conflict with the intrinsic rC- of a ring of ice, causing the rF+ artprop to be ignored when that item type is rolled. For vaults that are trying to define thematic items, having some randomly generated items ignore the specified properties won't work. The alternative is to specify an explicit list of acceptable subtypes in the vault, but this is onerous and more difficult to maintain.
This commit implements rerolled random types whenever there's a conflict between the specific fixed artprops and the item's intrinsic properties. This rerolling is limited to 1000 attempts to avoid an infinite loop, a scheme already in use before this commit for weapons and jewellery. We just extend it to staves and talismans and trigger rerolls for all types whenever there's an artprop conflict. Now the result of an item_def of the form "any TYPE artprops:..." will always produce an item of TYPE with a random subtype where all specified artprops can be applied. If this proves to be impossible, for example because the specified artprops could never be compatible with TYPE, item of TYPE with random subtype is still generated, but with any offending artprops ignored. An error message is printed for each conflicting artprop in this case.

Remove a special distribution for rings of slaying
Rings of slaying currently have 1/3 the chance to generate as a ring type compared to other ring types. This was seen as necessary in older versions, namely prior to 0.10, where slaying was added to a weapon's base damage and hence was influenced by skills and stats. This is no longer the case, and rings of slaying aren't markedly more powerful than, say, a ring of Str/Dex appropriate for the player's weapon type. This commit removes the special ring of slaying weighting so that all rings types have the same chance.

A minor fix to randart property accounting
Before this commit, when generating randart properties that can have both good and bad values, such as rF, Str, etc, a property could be previously assigned a good/bad value only to later have its value changed to the opposite type, and both instances would consume quality points assigned to the numbers of good and bad properties despite there being no net change. Additionally, although we only ever assign a max of two bad properties, both could be consumed by setting a single property to -1 twice, or for properties like Str, a different negative value twice, since we never add to negative properties like we do to positive ones.
This commit cleans up the logic so that, during randart generation, no property that's already been assigned a good/bad value will ever be subsequently switched to the opposite type of value. It also prevents "wasting" bad properties by assigning the same one twice. It's somewhat difficult to say whether this change results in a minor buff or a minor nerf to artefacts, since we are both more consistently adding bad properties but also more consistently adding good ones. A comparison of randart stats with wizmode ^I for 1000 iterations of "any ring" both before and after the change shows no meaningful differences in mean/median numbers of good and bad properties nor for the overall proportions of good/bad properties.

Improve aspects of randart property assignment
Currently during randart generation, no artefact property can be modified if it's intrinsic to the item. This means that artefact rings of protection from fire can only ever have rF+, for example. While we don't want to allow such rings to have less fire resistance than rF+, there should be no problem with them having more.
This commit implements a scheme where an intrinsic property can be modified, so long as it's in the right direction: it can increase a property value that's positive or decrease one that's negative, so long as the appropriate max/min is respected. I've generalized the property mapping scheme used by jewellery and made a map for talismans to intrinsic resistance properties by talisman type. Now all items that can have intrinsic artefact properties are accounted for in a more unified way.
One wrinkle for talismans is the issue of the dragon-blood talisman. We mark rPois as intrinsic, since all players do get that property in dragon form, but for the rF++ and rC- there's the issue of draconians versus non-draconians. It might be reasonable to include those properties as intrinsic only if the player is non-draconian. For draconians, the situation is more complicated since the player doesn't know their color until XL7. Obviously the talisman property mapping could use knowledge of draconian color from the start of the game, but there's a remote chance of awkwardness with an information leak.
On the other hand, if we simply don't ever include rF++/rC- in this intrinsic mapping, since we never decrease a property past a level of -1 anyhow, randart dragon-blood talismans will be at worst rF+ while in form. Likewise seeing some of these talismans with rC0 or higher doesn't seem too weird. For now I'm going with this simpler approach of leaving out rF++/rC- from the list of intrinsic properties. This can easily be revisited in the future with some species-specific code, if need be.

New Zot metal wall tiles
These tiles are further follow-ups to bd611b0, 668cce9, and 8e166ad, each all trying to try and make the endgame a little more visually fancy and more thematically unique, as well as to help provide more theme cues for future vault deployments beyond reusing monsters from other branches. Unlike most metal tiles, these are rather detailed instead of two-part slabs- originally meant to illustrate draconic scales, they ended up feeling somewhat like a jagged void, befitting the unholy realms holding the runes of Zot and the casual presence of various strong undead within the branch. They should still read as metal due to their desaturation and gleam, at least, and probably won't read as stone or crystal due to the former trending towards visibly discrete parts and the latter bearing rainbow facets.
(They're made from a CC0 skill icon by frosty_rabbid and the current metal wall tiles by Bloax. This commit comes with a little extra deployment of the metal tile in some Zot entry vaults and a little adjustment to not use too much of the tile for allusions that it doesn't fit, like the vaults meant to echo the Vaults.)

Prevent getting out-of-bounds in meatsprint (#4153)
[PR #4153 does two seperate things:
* Due to newer spells and Djinn access to them, it's possible to be shoved into the spawning teleport room with judicious use of Hellfire Mortar and letting walls seal themselves back up enough times. The PR adds a single-tile box of generic permarock: I'm making it much thicker in case further problems eventually arise, and also giving it the tile + name of the Crucible's permarock (which directly matches up, of course).
* It also buffs the weapon stats of most of the monsters' weapons, which marginally increases their threat value but also goes over the limits of what weapons can normally get. I'm a little conscientious about the possibility in the indefinite future state of Crawl that somebody might further crunch down on weapon stat caps (c.f. 5a0b83f and 6a47537), and it pulls attention away from the much better joke of the slay rings increasing indefinitely higher, so I've left that out (and thus just am addressing the PR directly in this seperate commit).
Closes #4153.]

New start-up and clockwork bee tiles (#4102)
"The Orb of Zot on top of the leader board sprite is outdated, and the tile size was inconsistent. Descent startup tile also needed an upgrade. The new one shows stairs descending deeper into the dungeon."
[Commiter's notes: Changed the Descent icon to both have more depth / height to each step and to use a red palette- gold palettes on the starting menu are more information based compared to red changing the mode's behaviour entirely, and it also corresponds to hatches being red.
The clockwork bee tile submission has been heavily adjusted, keeping the gear of the current one in order to make it more obviously mechanical versus the ally circle in-game and deploying a palette unlike the current or the submitted tile to match other Forgecraft tiles Sastreii made. (Sastreii will replace a large number of Forgecraft tiles as is at some point in the future, but updating the tile to have a wind-up key seems harmless enough to me.)
Closes #4102.]

Reroll items that conflict with any fixed artprops
The artprops keyword in an item_spec induces an item to be a random artefact, but with the specified artefact properties always present. A problem arises when the base type or sub type of the item is randomized, since specific base/sub types can conflict with the specified properties. For example, "any ring artprops:rF:1" will conflict with the intrinsic rC- of a ring of ice, causing the rF+ artprop to be ignored when that item type is rolled. For vaults that are trying to define thematic items, having some randomly generated items ignore the specified properties won't work. The alternative is to specify an explicit list of acceptable subtypes in the vault, but this is onerous and more difficult to maintain.
This commit implements rerolled random types whenever there's a conflict between the specific fixed artprops and the item's intrinsic properties. This rerolling is limited to 1000 attempts to avoid an infinite loop, a scheme already in use before this commit for weapons and jewellery. We just extend it to staves and talismans and trigger rerolls for all types whenever there's an artprop conflict. Now the result of an item_def of the form "any TYPE artprops:..." will always produce an item of TYPE with a random subtype where all specified artprops can be applied. If this proves to be impossible, for example because the specified artprops could never be compatible with TYPE, item of TYPE with random subtype is still generated, but with any offending artprops ignored. An error message is printed for each conflicting artprop in this case.

Loose, miscellaneous tiles tweaks and additions
* Legendary Destruction no longer shows two different backgrounds at once.
* One of the withered plant tiles has been adjusted to not have any white corner sections and thus read as having anything under it (even if it's otherwise placed in the wrong corner).
* The ever-obscure local tiles aptitudes tab now has icons to properly display gnoll and djinn aptitudes.
* Dazzling Flash now has a proper Hexes + Fire palette.
* Upheaval and Disaster Area now uses proper magma and iceblast tile effects. (Possibly should look into making airstrike and air-upheaval vfx tiles, as well as the start of LRD / tremorstone / rubble vfx tiles?)
* Additional new preliminary mutation icons: * barachi hop: Using Sastreii's barachi player species dummy monster and * djinn flat hp: ontoclasm's apt / spell level numbers and CanofWorms' powered by death icons. * mp-powered wands: recolouring ontoclasm's device recharge. * sacrificed hand: CanOfWorms powered by pain icon and ontoclasm's sacrifical Ru dagger. * screaming: Denzi's Berserk Rage and Projected Noise spell icons.
* Also a little bit of file headers and old spell icon management.

New animations and a quote for alchemy / potion flavour
The conjunction of Poison Magic and Transmutations-san-forms into one school was mostly meant as mechanical triage, making the overall school into something one can win a three-rune game with after the former lost a fair bit of its intended context with Conjurations changes and the latter was quite orphaned in variety despite always having been two different purposes slammed together. In actual flavour results, there's a lot of different fronts to tackle:
* Dangerous elements, minerals, and old hypothesises are somewhat reasonably emphasized between mercury, greek fire, fulminant gold, radioactivity, phlogiston, and sulphur.
* The Elric-style transmutation of given materials is what the Transmutations half already did, and is a reasonable front to focus on for the unavoidable need to crossing over with elemental schools.
* The philosophical reformation of the self is, of course, parcelled off into Shapeshifting and talismans.
* The concocting and bottling of weird substances has increased a little in flavour fronts, but neither Alistair's Walking Alembic nor Fulsome Fusillade are in the starting spellbook for Alchemists, which leaves off their start as a little detached from that front. (Actually making inventory-occupying items regularly beyond god gifts is explicitly part of the modern Won't Do list, it should be noted:) https://github.com/crawl/crawl/wiki/Won't-Do-(2024)
To help the school a bit further on these flavour fronts (especially the last one), I'm adding a variety of different pieces in this commit:
* Some additional flashes of potions for Alistair's Walking Alembic (which also helps telling that it succeeded in mixing its potions and wasn't just destroyed first) and for Fulsome Fusillade (which always emphasized raining down flasks in the first place).
* A visible tossed flask and messages for doing so for Mephitic Cloud, which has always had weak flavour around its high noise level and can be repurposed into being a more chemistry-focused spell. (No, swamp drakes won't be visibly breathing flasks.)
* Some recoloured potion flashes also granted to Gozag's Potion Petition, which could do with a bit of a visual flourish.
* A brief bit of a text on analyzing alchemy regarding mercury for the new Mercury Arrow spell.

New animations and a quote for alchemy / potion flavour
The conjunction of Poison Magic and Transmutations-san-forms into one school was mostly meant as mechanical triage, making the overall school into something one can win a three-rune game with after the former lost a fair bit of its intended context with Conjurations changes and the latter was quite orphaned in variety despite always having been two different purposes slammed together. In actual flavour results, there's a lot of different fronts to tackle:
* Dangerous elements, minerals, and old hypothesises are somewhat reasonably emphasized between mercury, greek fire, fulminant gold, radioactivity, phlogiston, and sulphur.

Fix orbs of destruction blocking targeting while with Jiyva (Flugkiller)
Jiyva's jelly protection works rather oddly, and makes even piercing beams count as non-piecing when firing in the direction of jellies. A minor oversight when 'can fire through monster?' code was refactored is that targeting now treated *all* transparent monsters that way while you worshipped Jiyva, resulting in being unable to aim beams through orbs of destruction (among other things).
It should hopefully now properly restrict this behavior to jellies.

New Depths metal wall tiles, some more vault wall tiles
Depths has a soft fey and forest theme (the grown-over barrow and cairn spriggans previously seen in a tree-filled Swamp then appearing again there, various magical wildlife like spark wasps, the new alderkings). This direction somewhat helps it feel like more than just "the furthest reaches of Some Weird Standard Fantasy Dungeon" as other standard enemies like elemental giants and dragons inevitably invoke. To lean a little more into that, these new tiles here actually swing somewhat in the opposite direction from the Depths stone wall tiles: they're fairly brighter (since most metal tiles are distinguished by their gleam anyway) and have experimental patterns of multi-coloured leaves. This should help the place feel a little more uniquely magical and a little more organic, which helps further distinguish Depths and Vaults apart as well as sets a contrast for Zot's deployment of withered and petrified plants.
This also comes with two other wall tiles: a scorched wall stone tile, and a tile covered in bright blue mould. Both are small parts of an experiment to produce many wall types of specific flavours and themes in order to push for using them more often over more disruptive features (liquid, glass, plants) everywhere. (Using unique tiles everywhere was an old concern of early vault devs, but my philosophy is that it's an infinitely lesser sin than diluting a branch's identities with not-even-thematic present enemies instead, so I'd prefer leaning over into that over time.) The former burnt walls easily fits into Crawl in general, and the latter is mostly awaiting an early mould-themed enemy not yet done to go alongside it. I'll figure out more homes for their sighting and additional decoration walls of the same sorts over time.
(These might be worth some feature descriptions in the future once there's a way to use multiple feature names and descriptions in the same vault, as would also help fix up 1f37800. For now, they can be a little mysterious for those not reading commits.)
Sources: * Depths metal: entirely made from Surt's CC0 scraps. * Puffball mould stone: roctavian's edits of Denzi's stone paired with more of Surt's CC0 scraps. * Scorched stone: Denzi's other stone walls and yet further CC0 scraps by Surt.

Replace Vaults:5 spiders and hornets with jellyfish
It gets rid of monsters that are completely harmless by V:5's depth (some long-inherited chaff of redbacks, wolf spiders, and hornets). It accomplishes a little bit more of the goal to put more distance between Vaults (& Vaults:5) versus Depths, with formless jellyfish being a regular Vaults:1-4 spawn. It also shouldn't increase the difficulty of the floor by too much, since they're already not greatly dangerous by Vaults:4 anyway. (They'll still be pretty rare, with about 0.34 formless jellyfish per V:5.)

Tweak djinn background recommendations
Shapeshifter may have made more sense back when it was Transmuter, but is a fairly poor Dj background these days. But moreover, spell-less starts feel like poor recommendations for djinn in general - not because melee djinn are exactly awful, but from the perspective of 'relative newcomer who could use pointing in a direction', they don't engage with djinn's core gimmick immediately *and* will leave them with poorer spell selection all game long.
With that in mind, I have removed both gladiator and shapeshifter, and added conjurer, air elementalist, and warper. (Warper feels like a much better style of 'melee' start for djinn anyway, as it gives them utility spells which will be useful all game long.)

The egg's HD was adjusted, but the seismosaurus was accidentally always 11.
(This will result in a mild nerf below 80 power, but the spell seems to be performing quite well and I don't think this will change that overly.)

fix: add two new melee attack flavours to the monster utility
This commit adds handling of `AF_ALEMBIC` and `AF_BOMBLET` flavours, which were added in 2b47ff03 and 998f9657 respectively.

fix: the monster build
It was broken in two places: * there was a missing header file (008097b4); * a couple of variables were declared inside a `case` statement without a scope (abc8f7ac).

build: add a GitHub Actions job for building the monster utility
Currently it's hard to notice when a change breaks the monster utility. Because even when it's broken, the bots just keep using the latest good version, and the game itself can compile without any errors.
Let's add a CI check for this.

Fix a handful of logic errors with wyrmhole hostile teleport
It can no longer teleport the player into no_tele_into locations (though this may have been unlikely in practice, since it still required LoS to a monster that *wasn't* standing on a no_tele_into spot.
It no longer picks the first valid spot near a monster, but correctly picks a random one in LoS of it.
It no longer needlessly counts all monsters in LoS of spots near every possible monster on the floor (which could cause it to pluralize a message incorrectly, beyond just wasting time.)
It will fall back on a random teleport if there are no valid spaces near any valid monster on the floor (instead of not moving the player at all).
It won't perform teleport-related interrupts if you don't actually teleport.
It won't 'blink' the wyrmhole if the player doesn't actually teleport.
It won't incorrectly amuse Xom even if you don't teleport (for what little this matters...)
It won't crash if the wyrmhole is dead or gone by the time it actives.
It won't instantly trigger whenever the player presses &B to aim a wizmode teleport (which even left you with a NON-hostile teleport duration still active afterward...)
(Also add a few explanatory comments throughout the function.)

Replace current sky beast mechanics with AF_AIRSTRIKE
Sky beasts were added in fe51cf0 for the sheer sake of variety in a very different development era than the current day. They used to be a source of mutagenic flesh, but corpse eating has been removed; they used to be another earlygame monster, but with orc wizards consistently getting invisibility in the spellbook squashing they're not much of a tutorial beyond making people start walking backwards for the invisibility to wear off to instead get random attacks of opportunity; and they use AF_ELEC, which barely matters compared to more damage considering the lack of chance to find rElec that early outside of starting off as a Gargoyle. Still, it is also nice to have early air-themed monsters, as long as Crawl is going to be reliant in some fashion on the fantasy cliches of the classical elements, so they deserve a rework rather than removal outright.
As such, they now drop both AF_ELEC and the flickering invisiblity effect for the new AF_AIRSTRIKE introduced in the previous commit. This swaps out their 5-6 elec damage (ignoring AC if the first hit deals damage) for a range between 4-5 physical damage when fully surrounded to a terrifying 14-18 with 7 open air tiles (i.e. with only the sky beast adjacent.) This seems quite dangerous, but the invisibility bonuses to sky beasts were quite notable at the point in the game one fought them, and in a full corridor it'll do about the same damage with slightly more AC-respecting. It'll kill a lot of blind autofight tactics, but there's not much point to new monster gimmicks if failing to respect them courts death.
To try to make this new change more obvious, their tile has also been flipped upside-down. This may be quite silly, but it has always had a relatively difficult-to-parse tile, and should still visually work as a ray-like beast swooping down from mid-flight.

Add AF_AIRSTRIKE, adjust Airstrike messaging
Crawl's differing elements have very different degrees of representation throughout the game, in some part influenced each by the different spells available back in single-digit-version Stone Soup days. Fire gets many repeats of bolt and fireball and clouds, Ice only rarely gets its explosion and uses a few gimmicks repeatedly like the Frozen status or Creeping Frost, Earth gets all sorts of strange connections between metal and corrosion and slowness and invulnerability, and Air... in terms of repeatable gimmicks gets Lightning Bolt, repositioning Lightning Bolt, and Airstrike. The last is at least pretty unique amongst effects in Crawl, and could help with further flying + air themes for monsters in Crawl, so expanding it a little further in a weaker context seems reasonable.
This new attack flavour is sort of like casting Airstrike whenever a monster hits, doing extra damage that scales both with HD and with the open spaces around the target. It ignores the usual AC check for flavour triggering (like AF_PURE_FIRE) because it's about manipulating the air in the space directly around the player (and to make the flat damage of attacks not be nearly so easily ignored by AC). The brand damage itself, however, still checks AC, unlike most damage brands. The damage formula is pretty different from normal Airstrike (in the same way AF_COLD is nothing like Freeze or Bolt of Cold), with minimal flat damage component (since that was in the attack itself) and also far more HD and open space based damage scaling.
| 0 spaces | 4 spaces | 7 spaces -------------------------------------------------- 5 HD | 4-5 damage | 9-12 damage | 14-18 damage -------------------------------------------------- 10 HD | 10-12 damage | 24-28 damage | 35-40 damage -------------------------------------------------- 15 HD | 18-19 damage | 42-46 danage | 61-66 damage
(Strictly speaking, a monster with a polearm _could_ get this brand, but none of the handful of monster concepts currently planned are going to wield weapons, so it's extraordinarily unlikely the full 8-space bonus will ever come up.)
Compared to Airstrike itself, it's inherently less dangerous in terms of its range and the capacity to dodge or block the initial hit. Of course, it's also inherently potentially more dangerous if one doesn't actually respect it enough to move near walls because it'll be activating on _every_ successful hit instead of just whenever a monster feels like casting a spell. It should still feel reasonably thematic (since Airstrike is the iconic one air spell that doesn't use electric damage), and in particular it may help less observant newcomers notice how Airstrike's open-air damage bonuses work later on if the brand is given to an early-game monster. (It's hard to use particularly late in the game in a number of layouts, but it should be fine in some Lair water branches or Hells layouts....)
This also comes with some different messages in both the spell and the attack flavour scaling to the number of open spaces one has around them: one for 0-2 spaces, one for 3-5 spaces, and one for 6-8 spaces.

New monster: wyrmholes, translocation drakes(?) for Depths / Zot / Pan
I do not apologize for the pun.
Crawl contains a fair number of Translocations spells for players, but beyond the widespread deployment of blinking, knockback, and the rare mage who has learned Banishment without worshipping Lugonu, very few monsters in Crawl translate such a prominent school into their own mechanics. This reaches as far as dragons and drakes embodying and breathing most other spell schools yet none in this, a matter which can be recitified in a fashion that also can help establish more flavour about the ease of tearing through reality in this setting. (Being deployed in Depths can also lead a little into Zot's draconian shifters being quite notable compared to a minimal use of translocations themes elsewhere.)
These new wyrmhole enemies for Depths are insubstantial, non-living, flying holes in spacetime. (I personally assert that the pun's no more silly than "glass eye", "marrowcuda", or the deployment of jellyfish in the Slime Pits each made by seperate devs. They're drakes, rather than dragons, due to the 'D'ragon glyph being overstuffed & overdone while the dra'k'e glyph has many free spots to work with; this also puts them at the opposite end of threat and spawning rate compared to V's lindwurms.) They've got much higher EV than comparative top-tier dragons, are speed 13, get a singular strong bite with a brand effect instead of trampling or claw attacks (shadow dragons also have branded bite attacks!), and possess but two simple mechanics that should make them more than sufficiently nasty for another Depths out-of-depth:
* AF_BLINK_WITH, as was added to phantoms all the way back in 39035a7 and never used again afterwards. Aside from mechanical bookends in a position where many more monsters may accompany them and players have far more tools to handle such repositioning, it also reasonably offsets how Depths has more diggable walls and more corridors than most other lategame branches.
* An experimental new (natural) spell, "Sojourning Bolt". This breath has a flat 50% chance to set other monsters to teleport, and for players alone to get a new red "!Tele!" status. Monster uses of Teleport Other previously failed due to not reliably placing players into actual danger, which was addressed for the teleportitis mutation back in db80c50 by always aiming for hostiles on the floor if possible. Likewise, this hopefully distinguishable teleport status will do the same on a delay _and_ bring the caster long, but as with all teleports it can be cancelled by reading another teleport. In Depths, this should usually have a vault or unexplored space to toss players and divers into, but players should also have enough tools plus enough spare teleport scrolls to handle this one way or another.
While native to Depths as a rare out-of-depth, this monster has also been put in a small number of magic-themed vaults and dragon-themed vaults in both Depths and Zot, as well as the one ghost moth demonic rune vault in Pan (those _are_ explicitly interdimensional threats). Their description tries to form more worldbuilding connective tissue with both big dragon branches also being linked to demon dimensions (c.f. the work done with forests and fae in 18c7c0e). Their supportive capacities are more intertwined with damage to the player than most other support monsters, and should reasonably have decent chances of suceeding due to their high health, but there's only about 1 on average per Depths as a highly dangerous out-of-depth. Let's see how much people actually fear them or not.
Their sparklingly animated tile is sourced from ontoclasm's old lava worms, Denzi's old lindwurms and the Portal spell icon, plus roctavian's old shadow fiends. The Sojourning Bolt spell combines Denzi's tiles with dolorous's edit of ontoclasm's old Bend Space icon.

New monster: oni incarcerators, top-tier monsters for Gehenna
The Hells are uneven- not just statistically, but also in variety. The Iron City of Dis and Tartarus have 4 essentially-unique monsters that spawn in them (and 14 overall), while Gehenna and Cocytus have 3 (with 13 overall). Elemental themes are already somewhat played-out as is over the full course of Crawl in comparison to the looser themes of Dis or the broad re-uses of Tartarus, but each of the Hells as have gotten attention over the years could do with being a little closer to each other, and the most Gehenna has to its name are fiery demons and damnation already heavily emphasized in other branches. As such, while it's still a fair number of months yet before more thorough efforts are extended towards extended, I'm willing to break some of the already-asymmetric arrangement.
Oni incarcerators are a new high-tier threat for Gehenna, using an already functional combination of mechanics while also making use of the ogre to oni species change for additional (mythologically accurate!) flavour. These oni catch the various damned souls of the hells and keep in line, unable to escape, with reasonably high melee damage, a flaming two-handed polearm, AF_DRAG, and a decent cast rate on Manifold Assault. These two last points _stack_, in that being attacked through Manifold Assault allows AF_DRAG to move victims a square closer to the caster. This should be uniquely scary (as Manifold Assault skips EV and SH since its level upgrade, and it works across the whole screen to hit both the player and their allies), while still unique in its play pattern: compared to Harpoon Shot, it's far shorter a distance to be continuously pulled, but it's far more likely to endanger players due to skipping several defenses. It should also rather suit a branch focused on irresistable explosions.
(Aside from Manifold Assault, these oni always wear fire dragon scales, so they can reasonably handle other fireballs in the branch, and otherwise have atrocious EV & AC plus high health- they're still a bit lower in stats than iron giants overall. They also get Throw Bolas- the -Move spell introduced for redone ironbound beastmaster in a727347- as an occasional cantrip to threaten characters on the opposite end of the AC/EV spectrum. This also adjusts hellephants to scale less with the depth of the branch- they're not that threatening for Gehenna- to not screw with quite as many monsters distributions in the branch otherwise.)
They should serve reasonably as kill-on-sight targets the same way brimstone fiends and hellions already do for the branch, but with rather different means of resisting it (through high AC and rF rather than having other enemies hold back explosions), and serve as a rare highlight of danger when deep into Gehenna comparable to the same deployment of shard shrikes, iron giants, and doom hounds. (I'd prefer the Hells not get too much harder while future roulette plans need to inherently tone it down, but adjusting numbers down is fairly easier than making sufficient variety and unique dramatics manifest. There's only a little under 5 per Gehenna trip currently, anyway.)
Their tile is a composite of Sastreii's base oni player-dummy-monster tile and the old draconian zealot tile by roctavian.
TODO: To try and emphasize their theme of serving gods in general rather than just being innately evil (as these aren't unholy any more than the random nonliving monsters in the hells are, nor the random giants), adding a holy-servant blue oni would be a good suppliment.

New monster: oni incarcerators, top-tier monsters for Gehenna
The Hells are uneven- not just statistically, but also in variety. The Iron City of Dis and Tartarus have 4 essentially-unique monsters that spawn in them (and 14 overall), while Gehenna and Cocytus have 3 (with 13 overall). Elemental themes are already somewhat played-out as is over the full course of Crawl in comparison to the looser themes of Dis or the broad re-uses of Tartarus, but each of the Hells as have gotten attention over the years could do with being a little closer to each other, and the most Gehenna has to its name are fiery demons and damnation already heavily emphasized in other branches. As such, while it's still a fair number of months yet before more thorough efforts are extended towards extended, I'm willing to break some of the already-asymmetric arrangement.
Oni incarcerators are a new high-tier threat for Gehenna, using an already functional combination of mechanics while also making use of the ogre to oni species change for additional (mythologically accurate!) flavour. These oni catch the various damned souls of the hells and keep in line, unable to escape, with reasonably high melee damage, a flaming two-handed polearm, AF_DRAG, and a decent cast rate on Manifold Assault. These two last points _stack_, in that being attacked through Manifold Assault allows AF_DRAG to move victims a square closer to the caster. This should be uniquely scary (as Manifold Assault skips EV and SH since its level upgrade, and it works across the whole screen to hit both the player and their allies), while still unique in its play pattern: compared to Harpoon Shot, it's far shorter a distance to be continuously pulled, but it's far more likely to endanger players due to skipping several defenses. It should also rather suit a branch focused on irresistable explosions.
(Aside from Manifold Assault, these oni always wear fire dragon scales, so they can reasonably handle other fireballs in the branch, and otherwise have atrocious EV & AC plus high health- they're still a bit lower in stats than iron giants overall. They also get Throw Bolas- the -Move spell introduced for redone ironbound beastmaster in a727347- as an occasional cantrip to threaten characters on the opposite end of the AC/EV spectrum. This also adjusts hellephants to scale less with the depth of the branch- they're not that threatening for Gehenna- to not screw with quite as many monsters distributions in the branch otherwise.)
They should serve reasonably as kill-on-sight targets the same way brimstone fiends and hellions already do for the branch, but with rather different means of resisting it (through high AC and rF rather than having other enemies hold back explosions), and serve as a rare highlight of danger when deep into Gehenna comparable to the same deployment of shard shrikes, iron giants, and doom hounds. (I'd prefer the Hells not get too much harder while future roulette plans need to inherently tone it down, but adjusting numbers down is fairly easier than making sufficient variety and unique dramatics manifest. There's only a little under 5 per Gehenna trip currently, anyway.)
Their tile is a composite of Sastreii's base oni player-dummy-monster tile and the old draconian zealot tile by roctavian.
TODO: To try and emphasize their theme of serving gods in general rather than just being innately evil (as these aren't unholy any more than the random nonliving monsters in the hells are, nor the random giants), adding a holy-servant blue oni would be a good suppliment.

Fix Fedhas ballistos destroying briars (and related problems) (Sdynet)
After the summon backend refactoring, most plants created by Fedhas abilities no longer counted as worshipping Fedhas. But it turns out that this was one of the very few cases where that had mechanical implications! Only Fedhas-worshipping plants can fire through other plants (which meant that oklobs could no longer fire through neutral plants, ballisto spores could destroy friendly briars, etc.)
This fixes #4168
However, until recently, the ballisto problem was *itself* masked by explosion damage being mistakenly attributed to the player instead of an allied monster. After that was fixed, the original problem was revealed.
Now these plants should all function properly once more.

Squash all ID flags into one, refactor heavily
Crawl's identification game has grown more and more simple over the years, but much of the *backend* for its old complexity remained in the code: there were flags for individually identifying an item's type, plusses, and even each individual artprop of every artefact. At one point in time, these all served a purpose, but most of them are redundant or unnecessary now.
This replaces all existing ID flags with a single one, ISFLAG_IDENTIFIED, and refactors a ton of code to be simpler and more clear; items are now either fully identified or unidentified.
Multiple completely unnused functions have been removed, a few more have been renamed for clarity, and identification checks for situations where un-ID'd items should be impossible (ie: checking the ID status of equipment the player is currently wearing) are also removed. Old uses of set_ident_flags() and set_ident_type() are both folded into identify_item() as appropriate.
get_item_known_info() is removed entirely. With item identification being binary and all monster equipment being pre-identified, this felt like overkill for most current uses. Instead, we just hide unknown properties of items in player-facing description, rather than making a copy of every item with all unknown properties removed (in fact, most uses of this function effectively did so already.) ID checks were added to a few clue item functions, but the only place that required any special handling (as far as I noticed, at least) was calculating attack delay with an unidentified weapon with a speed or heavy brand, and that can be handled more simply.
The stanard way to check whether an item is identified is now item_def::is_identified(), which checks not only the ISFLAG_IDENTIFIED on the item itself, but whether the item *type* is known. (A less obvious effect of get_item_known_info was that the item copy could be *more* identified than the original in many cases - in fact, this was seemingly how the game showed items on the floor whose type was known, but which you had not yet picked up, as identified - but that functionality is no longer needed.)
Since there are no longer multiple levels of identification, itemspec identification syntax is changed somewhat. Instead of "ident:all" or "ident:type", there is just "pre_id". (I wanted to just use "ident" originally, but this ran into issues with scrolls of IDENTification and trIDENTs...)
One minor loss is that item_def::name can no longer be passed ISFLAG_KNOWN_PLUSSES to hide printing of plusses on items, but on reviewing all current uses of this, approximately the only change I can see is that item plusses will be used for the message about manifold assault being incompatible with your current weapon, and the name of armour echoes (which is arguably an improvement for them, now that they're not longer +0 all the time). DESC_DBNAME no longer includes plusses by default (it never made sense there).
Given this was a complicated and far-reaching refactor, it is possible some additional bugs remain, but I've verified a plethora of different interactions, both in wizmode and actual gameplay, and they seem correct. Fingers crossed.

Vault review ever-repeating
Worthy of note:
* A few decorative altar vaults to Chei and Oka can now appear in Snake, and a few more vaults closer to the tone of V than Depths (using e.g. crystal guardians or slime creatures) have been moved to the former.
* In an experimental and incomplete fashion, a small number of Elf end vaults that had singular single-tile corridors for entrances now have diagonal entryways that allow for mild ducking around corners but also don't make it quite so easy to funnel enemies down a single line, to try and mildly discourage digging tactics nearly as much as the branch already does for the first ~50% of the end vault. Possibly these stone entrance paths want to get fairly larger still to more meaningfully discourage such, but I'm wary of doing too much with this when the end castle layout wants more discrete singular boxes....
* Yet more small amounts of beast and serpent talismans are in thematic vaults early on.
* Some of the statistically weaker Pan lord vaults and Swamp end vaults have been nudged upwards again.
* The last couple of rounds of arenasprint are slightly more vicious yet again, due to the ceiling already being quite high and the discrete nature of waves being easy to adjust. Some day I'll do enough fresher tests to get a feel for the overall wave balance.

Set up a four-month-long gag (Darby)
The process for this went:
* Reading through ToME4's list of spell effects and noticing the capacity to make one of one's ally skeletons a Lord Of Skulls, then * comparing Crawl's lack of skeleton spell allies these days (to recieve such a title) to one of Dragon Quest's greatest monster designs, the guaardvark.
The end results should somewhat reasonably work even without this context, in terms of emphasizing how this perpetually-joyful-looking marsupial has over a hundred thousand kills under its name in this ever-so-violent video game.

Add tile for player under Glaive of Prune curse (#3239)
It would be helpful for some visual to see when the prune curse kicks in, & adds fun flavor.
[Committer's notes: Decided on one of the submissions that didn't have any icy effects on it, due to either coming off as closer to fire or being very obviously cut off, and desaturated it a bit from the Glaive of Prune's colours to try and get closer to the specific dark glossiness of a prune. Implemented actually displaying this with the tech introduced for a31ef7c, and cleared out a redundant tile while doing so. It's a little weird looking (though prunes are not the most photogenic of food in the first place), but the visuals when it happens are 100% worth it, so I am grateful for the submission.
Closes #3239.]

It does not enable -cast for now, as an intentional design choice, because we want to encourage spellcaster -> shapeshifting skill transitions.

Vault review ever-repeating
Worthy of note:
* A few decorative altar vaults to Chei and Oka can now appear in Snake, and a few more vaults closer to the tone of V than Depths (using e.g. crystal guardians or slime creatures) have been moved to the former.
* In an experimental and incomplete fashion, a small number of Elf end vaults that had singular single-tile corridors for entrances now have diagonal entryways that allow for mild ducking around corners but also don't make it quite so easy to funnel enemies down a single line, to try and mildly discourage digging tactics nearly as much as the branch already does for the first ~50% of the end vault. Possibly these stone entrance paths want to get fairly larger still to more meaningfully discourage such, but I'm wary of doing too much with this when the end castle layout wants more discrete singular boxes....
* Yet more small amounts of beast and serpent talismans are in thematic vaults early on.
* Some of the statistically weaker Pan lord vaults and Swamp end vaults have been nudged upwards again.
* The last couple of rounds of arenasprint are slightly more vicious yet again, due to the ceiling already being quite high and the discrete nature of waves being easy to adjust. Some day I'll do enough fresher tests to get a feel for the overall wave balance.

Allow Spike Launcher to be built in any type of wall
I'd originally thought that limiting it to rock walls would be a positional restriction of mild interest (the vast majority of early walls are rock already, after all, and the spell is long past its lifespan by the time that changes). This has been somewhat unpopular, but the biggest motivator for this change was realizing that this makes it almost completely unusable in Sprints. Arguably that isn't the biggest deal with the current state of Sprint maintenance, but I'm also not sure 'rock only' is a critical part of the spell's design either. So now it works in all walls.
There is no functional benefit to making the trap in a metal or crystal wall, compared to rock, but it does work. (I didn't want to incentivize people dragging things back to an isolated crystal pillar in earlygame, and the random targeting might feel worse if it could miss the 'good' wall nearby.)
This also adds a static targeter (which coincidentally fixes a crash with the default one, which thought it was a beam spell with -1 range...)

Make banish animation (and similar) fill the webtiles viewport properly
crawl_view.viewsz is supposed to represent the size of the viewable viewport, but webtiles only ever used the default value (33x17, for some unclear reason...) rather than adjust it based on the actual viewable area.
The map itself was clearly drawn without needing to consult it, but this made some animations take up a fixed size in the middle of the screen rather than the whole viewable area. (It also negatively affected feature cycling with x, and potentially some other UI things that expected viewsz to correspond to the viewable area, instead of typically being smaller than it.)
Given that I still have low confidence with webtiles rendering, I'm not completely confident something else didn't rely on the old (seemingly buggy) behavior, but fingers crossed...

Remove rPois from endoplasms
With Alchemist's starting spell now literally unable to harm monsters with rPois, an early endoplasm seems unnecessarily threatening to XL 1 alchemists. So let's just cut their rPois entirely (who says all slimes are made of the same sort of stuff, anyway, right?). This should have little meaningful effect on anyone else. 

baccc4ca43 | 2024-12-04 17:12:33 -0330 | DracoOmega
Experimentally adjust Alchemist level 1/2 spells
Mercury Vapours was a spell that many players struggled to find worth using. The weakening effect could hit the player in close range (making it less good for helping melee encounters than one would like), and the very short range left its smite-targeting only mildly useful. The fact that the weakness ignored rPois was *intended* to help alchemists a little against poison-immune encounters, but generally it didn't help by *enough* to make it worth fighting poison-immune enemies instead of fleeing. It certainly wasn't useless, but it feels like we can do better.
This is an attempt to make the Alchemist level 2 feel a bit better, while keeping the uses between their level 1 and 2 spell more distinct. Mercury Vapours is replaced with Mercury Arrow, a range 4 level 2 conj/alchemy spell that does partially-irresistable poison damage (just like sting did) and inflicts Weakness on the enemy hit (and all enemies adjacent to it) using the same formula Mercury Vapours used to. It *cannot* weaken the player. Sting is replaced by Poisonous Vapours (slightly different than the old spell by that name). It is range 3 level 1 alch/air spell that does a tiny bit of AC-ignoring poison and inflicts 1 level of poison on a target, but does not affect anything with rPois at all - essentially a weaker/shorter-range version of 0.30 poisonous vapours, but level 1.
The hope here is that the level 2 is more worth using in more situations (including sometimes against rPois enemies, even if they remain a distinct weakness for early alchemists), while making the level 1 a bit more distinct in usage compared to a couple other level 1 spells and Sting. (It retains utility for a little while by being able to poison enemies behind other enemies, even while mercury arrow does more burst damage.)
(Sting continues to exist as a monster spell, for the very few current uses of it.)
Let's see how this feels!

Instead of picking an entirely random enemy target each time a clockwork bee is reactivated, have it prefer the target it was last focused on (if it's still in sight and valid).

Prevent a rare Call Down Lightning crash
If Call Down Lightning was cast upon a solid feature containing a monster, it would attempt to bounce (being electricity). And trying to bounce when it took no path in the first place would assert.
It is very hard for this situation to even occur at the moment, but one specific instance is when an eldritch tentacle has first appeared and is still in its malign gateway feature (which is solid). A thunderhulk can aim at it with Call Down Lightning, and then try to bounce off the 'wall' it just shot.
Now, beams will not bounce at all if they are aimed at a spot. (Thanks to Implojin for the suggestion, which is a better general fix than just making Call Down Lightning non-bouncy, which I'd been otherwise about to do.)
Note: due to a separate issue, the spell still doesn't *hit* the tentacle when cast from this spot, but the tentacle would be immune to the damage even if it did, so I don't consider that as relevant to fix at the moment. Perhaps if we ever end up with other monsters inside walls, in the future.

Try again to fix assorted buggy behavior with exploding monsters
4d9de507325e9399f8639ab74e243801ce0b59dd fixed some bugs and introduced others. It broke blame strings for player's being killed by friendly exploders (ie: would claim that they were killed by an exploding program bug) and also introduced a weird issue where monsters would flee away from blazeheart core explosions because they were testing reachability against ANON_FRIENDLY_MONSTER at (0,0) and determining that they could not reach it.
Instead of setting ANON_FRIENDLY_MONSTER as the source of friendly explosions directly now, it still uses the exploder's mid (for proper blame strings), but beam::agent() is changed so that if it fails to find anything when retrieving the agent by mid, it checks if a monster by that mid has been cached (as is currently done only for dying exploders) and then uses MID_ANON_FRIEND purely for damage attribution (so that the player gets XP but not penance).
Since this still means that the ME_WHACK event will be attributed to ANON_FRIENDLY_MONSTER, specifically ignore that for purposes of setting foe (but still do all the other aspects of getting hit by them, like breaking fear, etc.)
I'm not 100% confident this doesn't introduce some other bug somewhere in this ongoing game of explosive whack-a-mole, but fingers crossed!

Don't place a Zot entrance on D:15 (PanSaczeczos)
Possibly we should have more standardized function-based set-ups for placing Depths and Zot entrances, between the tags, the weights, the gems, and the actual specific entry features- the last of these got the wrong feature in a copy-paste, making due_index_antique_fridge place the wrong branch entrance in the D:15 setting. (Possibly Crawl itself should also actually complain about generating floors not connecting properly to given branches....)

Have clockwork bee remember its target focus between windings
Instead of picking an entirely random enemy target each time a clockwork bee is reactivated, have it prefer the target it was last focused on (if it's still in sight and valid). It even maintains this memory if the original target it was aimed at leaves LoS before the bee deploys (so that bumping it afterward will still get it heading in the proper direction, instead of somewhere else at random).
This should be a small QoL improvement, hopefully.

Completely rewrite default target picking and cycling code
The code which rested at the core of direction_picker and controlled how default targets were picked for spells was ancient and deeply arcane, making it laborious to make even simple, oft-requested QoL improvements to many spells. It also suffered from multiple surface-level issues, like inconsistent behavior about aiming explosions to avoid the player hitting themselves. (eg: casting fireball with a single enemy in melee range of you would aim off to the side of that enemy, so as to avoid getting caught in the blast, only if you had not previously aimed at that enemy on a prior turn. If you *had*, it would instead aim straight at them and force the player to adjust the aim or deal with a warning prompt.)
This commit replaces the inner workings of this part of direction_chooser entirely and improves a multitude of autotargeting behaviors in the process. It no longer uses recursion with multiple gotos or targets enemies based on viewport dimensions(!) and should be vastly easier to work with in future. In addition:
-AoE will be noticably better at avoiding the player, regardless of whether you'd previously aimed at that enemy. -AoE will also attempt to avoid harming allies, if a trivial aim adjustment could accomplish this. -The aimer is more aware of when AoE is harmless to the player, and won't needlessly aim-adjust a wand of roots off to the side of an enemy. -You no longer need to aim directly at a monster for the aimer to consider it your 'previous target'; merely catching it in the blast of a spell is sufficient. (In cases where multiple monsters are in the affected area, it will prioritize keeping its existing target lock, and otherwise pick the closest to the centre.) -+/- can now cycle through enemies that aren't themselves in range, but could be hit by AoE (ie: enemies just beyond the range of fireball) and will work sensibly with LRD. -Ranged autofight will more consistently use smart default aim, instead of only doing so for some spells. -Previous monster target is saved via mid instead of mindex (which could rarely do weird things when mindexes were reused) -Better default behavor for some spells like Gavotte (no longer prioritizes aiming at nearby enemies) or Tempering (prefers constructs with enemies actually in the blast zone.)
All in all, this should produce meaningfully improved behavior for a number of spells (and AoE spells like fireball, in particular, should prompt the player about harming self or allies *significantly* less, making them more autofight-friendly.)
To be clear, this isn't an attempt to make targeting smarter in the sense of 'make better decisions for the player'. It doesn't attempt to choose more important enemies or maximize how many things are caught in AoE, but rather to not present the player with 'obviously incorrect' default aims. It will still generally prioritize 'last-targeted enemy' or 'closest enemy', but not default to including the player's face in the blast when some obvious way not to do that exist. (And all of this new behavior is disabled if Options.simple_targeting is true, though using that feels personally quite questionable to me.)
This commit also removes a couple unused or non-functional commands (some effectively broken since as far back as 553c0cd8d1dc9edb71fdb08f1d3d3be3 ), as well as CMD_TARGET_PREV_TARGET (which I feel was largely opaque and unhelpful). Finally, while 'iterate through feature in viewport while aiming' has been reimplemented for the sake of using stairs via x, you can no longer cycle through items on the ground with ;/' in that mode. I am unconvinced that this was ever useful to do when ctrl+x exists (and X still offers the same functionality for the map in general.). +/- still works for cycling objects when aiming Apportation.
All in all, I hope this is a significant improvement to code readability, and also a meaningful improvement to player QoL with many different spells.
Death to _find_square.

(Blinkbolting mutant beasts are responsible for one of the few times I've killed myself with one of my own vaults, even.) Thus, I have specified the non-shock combinations of facets explicitly for the juvenile mutant beasts. Additionally, slightly tone down the number of juveniles, from 4-7 to 3-6.

Tone down nicolae_beast_mode
This vault places a box of beasts, and surrounds it with hostile but weak mutant beasts. It turns out that even weak mutant beasts who roll the shock facet can be overwhelmingly murderous with their blinkbolts. (Blinkbolting mutant beasts are responsible for one of the few times I've killed myself with one of my own vaults, even.) Thus, I have specified the non-shock combinations of facets explicitly for the juvenile mutant beasts. Additionally, slightly tone down the number of juveniles, from 4-7 to 3-6. The lone larval mutant beast will retain the ability to roll the shock facet, at least for now.

Fix some illusions not being marked as summoned/temporary
While many illusionary clones are supposed to hide the fact that they are summoned (since it's part of the illusion that you can't tell them apart from the original), this is fairly silly for things like player illusions or hostile clones of your ancestor and such.
But treating those *entirely* as normal summons would reintroduce an information leak, where it was possible to identify the real Mara by looking at the 'summoner' of your illusion. But the real problem is not player illusions, but Mara themselves, so refactor things to hide the summoner specifically if it's Mara, but show it for other player illusion sources (ie: mainly the strange machines in the Tukima wizlab)
This fixes #4083

Refactor god_protects, shoot_through_monster, and related functions
A number of different types of ally are intended to either never be harmed by player actions, or outright be fired through (eg: battlespheres, Hep ancestors, demonic guardians). But many of these different catergories are handled by different functions, and one category or another being overlooked from some attack is a frequent source of bugs.
This refactors essentially all such cases to go through a pair of functions: never_harm_monster() and shoot_through_monster(). The former is for all monsters that should never be negatively affected by any actions caused the a given agent (usually the player). shoot_through_monster() is mostly the exact same list, except additionally includes Jiyva jellies (where the player cannot harm them, but also cannot shoot through them.)
(I think some of this Jiyva behavior is a bit strange and incorrect, but I've not attempt to change its current functionality in this commit.)
never_harm_monster() shoud be used in most cases, with shoot_through_monster() specifically for projectiles.
This commit also fixes a handful of existing bugs, such as it being possible to affect a demonic guardian with Irradiate or slow any normally-unharmable ally with Metabolic Englaciate.
This also fixes #3985, and half of #4083

Improve out of range message when aiming Paragon finisher (pisaster)
If you aimed it at a spot the Paragon could not see (possibly because you had blinked away from it), the game would confusingly claim "You cannot see that place." when the actual issue is that the *paragon* cannot see that place. So let's just say that it's out of range instead.

Allow deconstructing forgecraft constructs with ctrl+direction
You used to be able to accomplish something similar with lightning spire, back when it got upset when you hurt it, but this stopped being possble once mindless constructed stopped caring about player damage. It felt that it was fine if the player *couldn't* instantly dismiss them (and largely still do), but this is aimed at improving QoL for clockwork bee in particular.
When there are no more targets around to attack, clockwork bee falls dormant. It also cannot be recharged without a visible target. This frequently results in it briefly blocking a corridor after a battle, and while I have not *personally* felt that this is a problem (you should rest!), enough other people have found it annoying that I am doing this with the aim of making it feel better for them.
This solution still feels 'clunky' to me (needing an additional command and giving a *much* longer message when trying to reactivate a bee without a target), but other proposed solutions have had potentially more serious side-effects, so let's just give this a try for now and see what player response is.

Tweak spriggan druid call / might criteria
8a9237d added a special case to make only swamp dragons count for mons_is_beast, leaving out the swamp end fire and ice dragons due to their noticeably higher threat. Since then, Swamp has gotten quite a ways more dangerous, and in particular druids can call in bunyips in Swamp or shrikes and spark wasps in Depths. As such, I'm removing this one special case, letting them care about the other types of dragon when calling in or granting might to beasts in general.

Various quick adjustments to ironbound beastmasters
* The beastmaster spawn count is higher than desired due to a shift later in design to target slime creatures instead of harpies plus an accidental use of max over min, doubling their overall placement rate from what was planned. This enstates their proper chance to appear in a band versus depth, while adjusting the numbers to make them appear quite often with lindwurms, more rarely with slime creatures, and with less beasts overall in their more common vaults.
* Arcanists were added on the same console glyph and colour combination in 129f0b0 since the ironbound beastmaster removal. I'm moving arcanists over to lightred, since it matches their tile and what currently is on that same combination (the true form of shapeshifters) is harmless whenever actually found anyway.
* Their description has been tweaked to not raise confusion about them causing frenzy or berserk with their aura.

Fix/tweak a few things about randart artprop descriptions
-Remove a redundant additional description of Wiz effect for randart rings of wizardry
-Give a few more base types 'fake' artprops (now that appropriate ones exist) and remove the hard-coded descriptions of even faker artprops
-Cut some descriptions that weren't even being used at present (due to having been using fake artprops for a while)
-Describe artprops in full item descriptions in the same order that they appear in the inscriptions (instead of enum order, which reads as very arbitrarily unrelated in-game)
-Show the rC+/rF- from base rings of Ice (and inversely for Fire) in the randart's inscription. At one point in time, 'Fire' was sufficient to imply rF+/rC-/fire-enhancer, but that is no longer the case. (ie: when 'Fire' shows up on a randart staff or orb, it may *only* mean a fire enhancer, with no resists baked in.)

Refactor how tile-picking for beams works
Tile selection for beams used to be handled by tileidx_bolt(), which was organized in an... archaic manner. Tile selection was done via a combination of beam color and string-matching against the name of the projectile being fired. This was clunky and also error-prone in several ways: projectile text could be edited elsewhere (which would silently cause their custom tiles to disappear), tile overrides for removed spells could remain long after the spell was gone (since it's not obvious which string corresponds to what spell). In fact, both of those things were true for at least one or two spells immediately prior to this commit!
This removes that function entirely and instead allows any custom tiles to be specified as a simple member of zap_info (or manually-specified via beam.tile_beam and beam.tile_explosion, in cases where zaps are not used.) If neither is specified, it will still fall back on the default color-to-tile mapping done by tileidx_zap().
This also allows the tile for the path of a beam, and the explosion at the *end* of that beam, to use different tiles easily. This has been applied to iceblast (and related spells) and fireball at present, but could easily be extended to move things. (I think it is a cleaner visual, in general, if the non-damaging trail and damaging explosion of an effect use different tiles, though not all effects have such obviously useful tiles pre-existing.)
Tile directional orientation is now also handled automatically by vary_bolt_tile() and I renamed the tile enums for the 'default' color-based bolts to be clearer.
Aside from the aforementioned animation tweaks to iceblast/fireball, there should be no other functional change.

Heavily revise and revive ironbound beastmasters
V is a branch that is very pressured in its placement- usually immediately after some of the higher variety in the game in the Lair branches, usually before the heavy large vault use in Elf and Depths that it itself can barely use, and yet not originally given a unique monster set to itself. There's been multiple attempts to help out the branch out with more and more unique monsters, and in my personal opinion, it could always use more: the loose theme of much more organized and cosmopolitan structure is easily workable, and V:1-4 has decent value as a pacing break after the first few runes that still tries to stand out mechanically.
Ironbound beastmasters were tried out in 0b001ba and removed in f8b08d3 for a number of reasons that are each reasonably addressable in different fashions:
* Depending solely on their bands made them require unique and very frail special-casing to always place their band regardless of other calls for individual monsters (in vaults, wizmode placements, bot information calls, and so on). Rather than going out of the way to make sure individual beastmaster spawns come with a band, they instead now only spawn a part of V animal and slime bands when those bands already successfully place, with a chance increasing by depth to join lindwurm, slime creature, and dire elephant bands when the full band spawns already. (This replaces one of the dire elephants with a beastmaster when it spawns, but doesn't for lindwurms or slime creatures.)
* Goad Beasts was a very invisible spell, since the actual number of actions monsters take in a turn without involving spells is a relatively subtle effect. Instead of relying on the energy system, this instead relies on a far more direct effect using other reworked systems: they simply have an passive aura of haste for living creatures of animal or lower intelligence. This should also help create very little ambiguity as to what they haste, because they visibly immediately haste or don't haste given other monsters.
* They were also pretty weak for their depth when caught by themselves seperated from a successful band placement, whether from bands wandering around or being convoked. This return comes with somewhat higher base damage and a coinflip chance for a polearm. They also now have a new support spell that can work with other monsters than beasts or slimes, "Throw Bolas", which does relatively minor physical damage for the depth and also inflicts -Move. (The rope for the bolas projectile and spell icon is a CC0 asset by fleurman, and the balls are steel sling bullet icons by ontoclasm.)
(To accomodate the last of these, paralysis and petrification both end with "You can now act again", and -Move from Momentum Strike now reads "You can move again" rather than "You are no longer robbed of your momentum".)
I'll let players find out in practice just how common it is to be bound in place as hasted dire elephants or hasted titanic slime creatures barrel towards them. Players are pretty strong by the time they do V, and I'm doubtful the ~4 beastmasters per visit will noticeably more dangerous than the multitudes of thunderhulks or convokers, anyway. Being interrupted heavily by not being able to move may get some resistance from players who otherwise focus solely on playing quickly (c.f. 98a3e4f and 54e5184), but fortunately their boosted allies can help solve the problem of reckless play in a quick and direct fashion.

Fix the build (DracoOmega)
In 8f22220, the tile enum was added as a new entry instead of replacing the dummy entry of 0. For at least GCC, on newer compilers this incorrect data was silently initialized into the struct, but the older version of GCC on CDO was not happy. Concerning that newer compilers didn't at least warn about the problem, but at least the offending line was easy to detect...

Revert "Fix slime not showing around slime walls after reload"
This commit was causing level previews using shift-X [ or ] to display the player's current floor in the main viewport, instead of the target floor.
I don't have time to hunt this down right now and am concerned about leaving it alone since this was likely caused by an interaction with tags, so I'm simply reverting for now.

Don't show irrelevant information when looking up non-book spells (Ge0FF)
Looking up spells with ?/s that were technically player usable (because they were wand spells, or an internal implementation of an ability) would still display miscast effects and some other things which would only be relevant if any player could actually cast the spell directly.
Instead, hide this information for non-book spells.

Fix an Arenasprint crash with foxfires
After 6938ffb21ab4f, foxfires are directly killed as part of them hitting enemies, but if such an attack ended a wave in Arenasprint, the automatic 'dismiss all allies' function in lua would kill the foxfire before the point where the foxfire's own code would kill it, leading to an assert.
I am... not entirely happy with this sort of safeguard here just for one sprint (and suspect there are similar cases elsewhere, too), but it's an immediate short-term fix at the very least.

Don't ignore beam.aux_source set by mons_spell_beam
A couple spells set custom aux_sources in their beam setup, which would be entirely ignored in practice. For instance, when 357ea4826f refactored how Creeping Frost was set up, the game began to claim that players killed by it were killed '...by a frost.', but that is not the only spell thus affected.
I can't see any obvious reason why we should ignore aux_sources set up manually, and the code here is truly ancient. So let's try only setting default values if no non-default values have already been set.

Fix battlesphere firing message (Flugkiller)
I considered rolling back to the shorter 'Your battlesphere fires!', but since battlesphere uses more particular target selection now and yet cannot *always* reach the target of that selection (though it tries very hard), I thought that specifying its aim might reduce confusion sometimes when it hits something other than its ideal target.
Maybe this doesn't matter? Easy to change again later, at least.

Fix the build (DracoOmega)
In 8f22220, the tile enum was added as a new entry instead of replacing the dummy entry of 0. For at least GCC, on newer compilers this incorrect data was silently initialized into the struct, but the older version of GCC on CDO was not happy. Concerning that newer compilers didn't at least warn about the problem, but at least the offending line was easy to detect...

Revert "Fix slime not showing around slime walls after reload"
This commit was causing level previews using shift-X [ or ] to display the player's current floor in the main viewport, instead of the target floor.
I don't have time to hunt this down right now and am concerned about leaving it alone since this was likely caused by an interaction with tags, so I'm simply reverting for now.

Don't show irrelevant information when looking up non-book spells (Ge0FF)
Looking up spells with ?/s that were technically player usable (because they were wand spells, or an internal implementation of an ability) would still display miscast effects and some other things which would only be relevant if any player could actually cast the spell directly.
Instead, hide this information for non-book spells.

Fix an Arenasprint crash with foxfires
After 6938ffb21ab4f, foxfires are directly killed as part of them hitting enemies, but if such an attack ended a wave in Arenasprint, the automatic 'dismiss all allies' function in lua would kill the foxfire before the point where the foxfire's own code would kill it, leading to an assert.
I am... not entirely happy with this sort of safeguard here just for one sprint (and suspect there are similar cases elsewhere, too), but it's an immediate short-term fix at the very least.

Don't ignore beam.aux_source set by mons_spell_beam
A couple spells set custom aux_sources in their beam setup, which would be entirely ignored in practice. For instance, when 357ea4826f refactored how Creeping Frost was set up, the game began to claim that players killed by it were killed '...by a frost.', but that is not the only spell thus affected.
I can't see any obvious reason why we should ignore aux_sources set up manually, and the code here is truly ancient. So let's try only setting default values if no non-default values have already been set.
This fixes #4011

Flag Kinetic Grapnel as destructive
I hesitated a little, since half the point of this spell is as a melee augment, but I'd mostly been thinking of Vehumet support at the time. But since this flag also affects whether it works with battlesphere, probably it shouldn't be excluded from support by a spell in its own school.

Don't let the player (rarely) shoot themselves while confused
Firing beams while confused aims randomly, but this random space chosen to aim at could extremely rarely be the player's own location, giving them a 1 in 169 chance to shoot *themselves.*
Melee attacks cannot harm the player while confused, and I think this is unexpected behavior that could sometimes be quite lethal. Just aim somewhere else instead.
This closes #4091

Add a preview for examined equipments' effect on spell success
Equipment in Crawl has a signficant effect on spell success that can often be difficult to intuitively predict the magnitude of. The general advice for determining just how badly that heavy armour will affect your spells is to try it on, but this isn't always possible. Sometimes a player is considering buying expensive armour from a shop, but isn't sure if it will ruin their important spells or not. Worse, Ashenzari worshippers often cannot swap their items without literally destroying them forever.
In the spirit of items showing preview of how they would modify your EV, item descriptions now indicate their effect on spell success. Since effect on spell success is extremely individual to the spell, a single number cannot be provided; instead, a second page of information is provided for items that would modify spell success rate (accessible by pressing '!')
This indicates the change in spell failure for every spell the player knows which would change by at least 1%. They are sorted in order of magnitude of change, and color-coded for how good/bad the change is. Items which cause any such change mention this in the same space where AC/EV changes are listed (along with how to access the additional information).
Something like this has been a repeatedly-requested feature for some time now. I hope it will be helpful!

Make Platinum Paragon use artefact weapons only (PleasingFungus)
I'd originally implemented per-weapon-type damage scaling for paragon out of concern that certain weapon types (like axes or quick blades) would be disproportionately good on them. Many of the usual factors that govern player weapon choice don't really apply to either monsters or lategame - scaling is very different, and you're sure to have your choice of a reasonable weapon in nearly any category. I didn't want the choice to feel too 'flat'.
But something you perhaps *aren't* guaranteed to have an obvious gauranteed best option of are artifacts (and artifact weapons are the most fun to use anyway.) So let's try removing the weapon-type-based scaling and just only allow imprinting artefacts. (This does make Gyre and Gimble even more absurd, but... maybe that's allow?)
This does mean the paragon can no longer fall back on using the player's current weapon, if you've never imprinted one, so to try and avoid players not realizing they should use this, you can no longer cast paragon unless you first imprint *something*. (I considered just having them be unarmed in this case, but it seems likely some players will miss that.)

Don't let foxfires drag around enemies who cannot move
Due to a misordering of checks in _mons_can_displace, monsters were able to swap with a hostile foxfire even if they were bound, paralyzed, caught in a net, or several other things. This had the apparent effect of looking like foxfires were 'pulling' this enemy towards them sometimes, as they hit it.
The whole 'enemies can freely swap into hostile foxfires' thing is a little weird when the player cannot do anything of the sort. I guess the idea was to prevent them being used to body-block enemies (since instead of wasting a turn swinging at the foxfire, the monster will still be able to step forward where they wanted to go), and removing this *would* be an earlygame buff to the spell. But I wonder if the player should also be unobstructed by them, since marshlight health is set so high that you cannot practically injure them anyway. A question for another day... 

4d9b5d05aa | 2024-11-14 17:43:18 -0330 | DracoOmega
Don't have hostile marshlights sometimes fly in the wrong direction
Or rather: despite being 'projectiles' shot by a will-o-wisp, marshlights could fail to even notice the player after spawning and wander away while looking confused (especially if the player had high stealth.) Instead, have hostile foxfires simply inherit the caster's foe.

Set MG_AUTOFOE targets upon monster spawn, instead of later
This should hopefully make the process slightly less brittle by *immediately* setting an MG_AUTOFOE monster who finds a foe to BEH_SEEK instead of relying on it happening later.
(This might render the previous commit unnecessary, but it might still be relevant for homing in on a target only notice *after* spawn.) 

80d639dd4d | 2024-11-14 17:43:18 -0330 | DracoOmega
Try to prevent foxfires from sometimes failing to move towards enemies
If the player cast foxfire with the only hostile targets at the edge of their vision, it was possible for some foxfires to spawn too far away from this enemy to see it themselves. Crawl generally handles these situations by using the player's vision to pick foes for summons, but for exploding allies *in particular*, their target would not be properly set on spawn, since this seems to be done via an ME_ALERT event. This meant that there was a small chance that the foxfires you spawned would just run off in a random direction and disappear, despite there being an obvious target for them.
Removing the check this commit touches altogether causes foxfires to cluster nicely next to the player and follow them around if no enemies are in sight, allowing you to 'pre-fire' a bunch of them in advance of an incoming enemy, which I'm not sure is great gameplay for this spell. But this smaller change seems to at least *mostly* fix the aforementioned issue (even if it feels like a bit of a band-aid).

Fix a purple draconian Ru sac will crash
https://underhound.eu/crawl/morgue/ZingZang1235/crash-ZingZang1235-20241112-184040.txt
What happened here was that first, the player took Ru sacrifice will, granting an innate MUT_WEAK_WILLED. Then, at XL7, they became a purple draconian, and the levelup mutation code tried to grant them an innate MUT_STRONG_WILLED. This caused the loop in perma_mutate() to assert, because there was an implicit assumption there that we wouldn't try to grant conflicting innate mutations.
To workaround this, here we prevent granting a species mutation on levelup (!) if a prior conflicting innate mutation exists.
This really shouldn't be happening, but as we've seen, continued expansion of Ru sacrifices and species mutations (and now Makhleb marks) over time makes it increasingly likely that someone will inadvertently add conflicting innate muts which will need to be handled.
These conditions could have theoretically triggered an assert for a long time, but as far as I can tell, the conditions to actually trigger this bug were introduced in 02fa12cfa58b when purple Dr gained strong-willed. This commit therefore shouldn't need to be backported further than 0.32.
I've also added an explicit assert here to maybe save some future devtime in tracking this down, if it reoccurs through an alternate (non-levelup) call to perma_mutate() in the future.

1h enhancer staves for small species
Enhancer staves are currently two handed for Ko and Sp. I feel like it mostly catches people off guard and doesn't matter much as far as their power level goes. It might be worth taking a look at other stuff since it feels like there is little reason behind what is two and what is one handed for small species.

Use more nouns when a boulder pushes something into the unknown.
Brom's Barrelling Boulder can push monsters into terrain you haven't seen. This created a message such as " Your boulder crushes the orc against and falls apart!" as feature_description_at() returns an empty string for unknown terrain.
Replace the empty string with "something" for that message.

Some more new specific spell effect tiles
A bunch of these were produced as side-effects or add-ons for impending Forgecraft spells that can also just be added in advance for other spell effects. In particular, I'd like to make partially-resisted blasts more visually distinguished from regular blasts in general, and this should be a reasonable start; splitting off Flash Freeze and Chain Lightning would be next if I had ideas for either.
Sources:
* Wand of Warping's blast: A CC0 slash vfx by Cethiel.
* Iceblast and Seracfall and Glaciate: Denzi's old LCS icon.

Fix mapstat/objstat initialization issues
This commit fixes a crash due to mapstat/objstat not resetting seen unrands between iterations. Once all 8 octopus king rings had been generated from previous iterations, the first iteration that attempted to generate another octopus king ring would cause a crash. Even if the crash didn't happen, objstat wasn't generating unrands correctly across iterations.
To fix this, I've made mapstat/objstat use a centralised dgn_reset_player_data(), which is a function formerly called dgn_flush_map_memory() that was used by lua tests. This function covered all resets mapstat/objstat was already doing as well as those it was missing. It was missing one reset for item sets, which I've added. Use of dgn_reset_player_data() reduces the number of places where we have duplicate player data reset code from three to two; hopefully at some point we can reduce this to one.
Additionally for mapstat/objstat, we call initial_dungeon_setup() to get a more centralised and complete initialisation of dungeon setup that includes setting up Ecumenical Temple maps. I've also rename the dlua function dgn.clear_data() to dgn.clear_persistant_data() for clarity and consistency with another related dlua function.

Passive retaliation killed the caster of a force lance before knockback could occur; since the caster's position was long gone by the time actor::knockback finally got called, there is no position to knockback away from any more, so just return false.
[Committer's notes: DracoOmega mentioned a preference for trying to preserve knockback direction here even if the knockback agent was dead, but as that commit hasn't yet happened, I'm merging this, since it should fix a recurring segfault.
Closes #4077.]

fix: adjust conditions for activating skill training (dilly)
Currently, the activation of skill training has a few false positives and false negatives: * Artefact rings and amulets with +Blink/+Inv don't activate training of Evocations. * Weapons and staves with evocable abilities enable training of Evocations even if you can't use such items. E.g., carrying an artefact GSC with +Blink does that even if you're a kobold or felid. * Artefact talismans with +Blink don't activate Evocations training. * An active talisman doesn't enable relevant skills unless you have it in your inventory. So evoking a talisman from the ground doesn't activate training of Shapeshifting. * Shattering a cursed item under Ash doesn't deactivate training of corresponding skills.
This commit fixes that and refactors the relevant code a bit. Thanks to dilly for reporting this!

New Xom action: light webs on fire
On one hand, it's what a lot of games that aren't Crawl would allow the player to do anyway, and Xom already has a noticeably fiery action.
On the other hand, the idea that in the entirety of Crawl, that only Xom can rarely decide to do this, is probably funny enough in and of itself.
Much like Snakes to Sticks, this is meant to provide a Xom action that changes according to the branches one gets in a game- and somewhat usefully, there's only two monsters in Spider's Nest with any fire resistance. Unlike Snakes to Sticks, this comes with a fair bit less complexity- it just removes all webs in sight (and frees anybody stuck in a web), then creates fire clouds where those webs were. It provides a little more ease of movement for the branch in a flavourful fashion without being too intrusive, and continues the trend of Xom uniquely warping the Dungeon's terrain on a whim.

fix: adjust conditions for activating skill training (dilly)
Currently, the activation of skill training has a few false positives and false negatives: * Artefact rings and amulets with +Blink/+Inv don't activate training of Evocations. * Weapons and staves with evocable abilities enable training of Evocations even if you can't use such items. E.g., carrying an artefact GSC with +Blink does that even if you're a kobold or felid. * Artefact talismans with +Blink don't activate Evocations training. * An active talisman doesn't enable relevant skills unless you have it in your inventory. So evoking a talisman from the ground doesn't activate training of Shapeshifting. * Shattering a cursed item under Ash doesn't deactivate training of corresponding skills.
This commit fixes that and refactors the relevant code a bit. Thanks to dilly for reporting this!

Apply location effects to flank and swoop
Before this commit, flank and swoop attack flavours would not trigger traps and trap-like effects like sigil of binding when moving the monster.
I haven't found an issue for this but I stumbled upon that bug while feeling clever about a ufetubus getting sigil'ed. The ufetubus didn't get sigiled as I expected.
Here we also let sigil of binding prevent monsters from flanking or swooping: without this change, adjacent bound ufetubui would still be able to flank the player.
[Committer's notes: Squashed. Edited commit message.

Minor vault review, mostly aesthetics edition
Worthy of note:
* Vaults entry vaults now consistently all don't take up the large vault slot on the floor, so late D has more odds to place more interesting vaults to thus stand out a little bit more to justify itself.
* wizlab_eringya has grass floor tiles again, as was accidentally removed in 5f48996.
* lightli_orcish_oven is downweighted in V, since vaults_rooms are used substantially more thoroughly than otherwise and we've gotten plenty of vaults for V since 831329d.
* nicolae_yak_garden has been moved from an incredibly deep depth (originally meant to be half way through Lair, now pushed upwards as Lair has picked up more threat) and has a Crypt version to use the old lich garden flavour when it was in Zot before 8ac13c1 moved it to Forest (followed by it eventually moving it to Lair).
* serial_glass now has a 1/4 chance when placing in Depths, Elf, or Crypt to use different (but still reserved) tile colourations, to make it a little nicer seeming later on. This also makes a handful of generic glass vaults sometimes use those different colours, but honestly, it's fine to throw around more tile changes visuals-wise compared to a lot of other accumulated vaultmaking sins.
* "you.depth_fraction() < 1" checks in vaults for being on floors before the end of a branch have been replaced with checks for "you.depth() ~= dgn.br_depth(you.branch())", which is longer but actually directly states its usage intent and makes lua usage more consistent for future guide-writing purposes.

Fix monsters sometimes following the player into Duels (particleface)
MF_TAKING_STAIRS is set on nearby monsters when the player starts to take a stair. This flag is used at the end of the stair delay to determine what monsters are eligable to follow. It is cleared from non-following monsters when the player leaves the floor, but was *not* cleared when the player's attempt to take the stairs was interrupted (eg: by constriction, trampling, etc.)
Oka's Duel ability enters the arena via code that handles normal stair transitions. It does not *set* the MF_TAKING_STAIRS flag, but it still respects it on any monsters which already had it. Thus it was possible, if the player took the stairs, was interrupted, and then used Duel, to pull in all the monsters that *would* have followed them across the stairs into the Duel.
This was a rather mysterious bug to deduce and I'm still not 100% convinced this solves all instances of Duel stowaways, but it does solve at least a solid chunk of them.

Apply some attack flavours against dead monsters
Monster attack flavour handling was skipped if the initial hit killed a monster's target. Most of the time this was sensible (no point in freezing something that is already dead!), but a handful of attack flavours had effects that reached beyond just the target they were attacking. For example:
-Broodmothers/Obsidian Bats couldn't summon things off killing blows -AF_VAMPIRIC monsters couldn't drain HP from killing blows (notably: the vampiric weapon brand *does* work on killing blows. -Shadowghasts don't lose their invisibility on shadowstabs that kill their target (allowing them to reuse it immediately) -AF_SWARM, AF_BLOODZERK, AF_BLINK similarly don't work properly.

Reorganize dc-wall.txt
This file is a complete mess, depositing branch walls all over the place and with two awkward divisions of intermingled rock and stone tiles before an end point of glass / crystal / metal splits.
This shouldn't have any visible effects in-game, but it should make adding new wall tiles reasonably more consistent through ordering and sectioning. Sections-wise, everything has been split into: * The default wall tiles (+ colour variations) for each main wall type, * then branch tiles according to their rough depth, * then portal tiles, * then vault tiles.
This also consistently puts features in those given sections into split-ups of rock, then stone, then other features, rather than mixing the former two. It also adds comments over tiles for branches and portals whose tile file names don't contain their given location in their name. Altogether, this should hopefully significantlly help keep the file more organized and help others look up tiles' places and uses for vault deployment.

Adjust Xom polymorph checks (Mike)
5cebcaf adding in a condition to avoid polymorphing super early bats over arrival / altar vault liquids also accidentally screwed up the logic checks to properly exclude firewood, the non-living, or the undead as long as one was above XL 3. This has been fixed and tweaked upwards to require being above XL 4, also preventing Xom from polymorphing regular firewood plants and fungi entirely.
Xom could previously still polymorph early oklob plants into thorn hunters or starflowers or shambling mangroves, though, (and could make sleepcaps turn into ballistomycetes to sporulate with extremely little warning), which is now also softly excluded from completely destroying early chaos knights (by refusing to polymorph plant holiness monsters period unless one's above XL 8).

MF_TAKING_STAIRS is set on nearby monsters when the player starts to take a stair. This flag is used at the end of the stair delay to determine what monsters are eligable to follow. It is cleared from non-following monsters when the player leaves the floor, but was *not* cleared when the player's attempt to take the stairs was interrupted (eg: by constriction, trampling, etc.)
Oka's Duel ability enters the arena via code that handles normal stair transitions. It does not *set* the MF_TAKING_STAIRS flag, but it still respects it on any monsters which already had it. Thus it was possible, if the player took the stairs, was interrupted, and then used Duel, to pull in all the monsters that *would* have followed them across the stairs into the Duel.
This was a rather mysterious bug to deduce and I'm still not 100% convinced this solves all instances of Duel stowaways, but it does solve at least a solid chunk of them.

Apply some attack flavours against dead monsters
Monster attack flavour handling was skipped if the initial hit killed a monster's target. Most of the time this was sensible (no point in freezing something that is already dead!), but a handful of attack flavours had effects that reached beyond just the target they were attacking. For example:
-Broodmothers/Obsidian Bats couldn't summon things off killing blows -AF_VAMPIRIC monsters couldn't drain HP from killing blows (notably: the vampiric weapon brand *does* work on killing blows. -Shadowghasts don't lose their invisibility on shadowstabs that kill their target (allowing them to reuse it immediately) -AF_SWARM, AF_BLOODZERK, AF_BLINK similarly don't work properly.
This commit changes a handful of such attack flavours to work even if the defender is dead.

Reorganize dc-wall.txt
This file is a complete mess, depositing branch walls all over the place and with two awkward divisions of intermingled rock and stone tiles before an end point of glass / crystal / metal splits.
This shouldn't have any visible effects in-game, but it should make adding new wall tiles reasonably more consistent through ordering and sectioning. Sections-wise, everything has been split into: * The default wall tiles (+ colour variations) for each main wall type, * then branch tiles according to their rough depth, * then portal tiles, * then vault tiles.
This also consistently puts features in those given sections into split-ups of rock, then stone, then other features, rather than mixing the former two. It also adds comments over tiles for branches and portals whose tile file names don't contain their given location in their name. Altogether, this should hopefully significantlly help keep the file more organized and help others look up tiles' places and uses for vault deployment.

Adjust Xom polymorph checks (Mike)
5cebcaf adding in a condition to avoid polymorphing super early bats over arrival / altar vault liquids also accidentally screwed up the logic checks to properly exclude firewood, the non-living, or the undead as long as one was above XL 3. This has been fixed and tweaked upwards to require being above XL 4, also preventing Xom from polymorphing regular firewood plants and fungi entirely.
Xom could previously still polymorph early oklob plants into thorn hunters or starflowers or shambling mangroves, though, (and could make sleepcaps turn into ballistomycetes to sporulate with extremely little warning), which is now also softly excluded from completely destroying early chaos knights (by refusing to polymorph plant holiness monsters period unless one's above XL 8).

A variety of remixed extended tiles
All of these branches lacked their own unique tile appearances beyond a few recolours of default tiles. With the bulk of extended running heavily off of theme and novelty more than about replayable variety, it helps Pan and the Hells each to have their own unique tiles for both the sake of external vault flavour and for the flavour of each of those branches. (I also have some ideas and work done on new Zot tiles in this capacity, but it required each branch to technically have its own tiles first.)
* Pandemonium stone: A mix of Denzi's wall_relief, wall_bars, and Porkchop's stone_dark walls recolouring Denzi's stone_grey walls.
* Mnoleg stone variation: A mix of Denzi's wall_relief, wall_bars, and unrecognizably-warped old very ugly thing tile.
* Gloorx Vloq stone: A mix of ontoclasm's Crypt metal, plus Sastreii's Snake stone and Depths vault floors.
* Lom Lobon crystal: A combination of heavily edited CC0 art by NettySvit and cynicmusic.
* Cerebov metal: A mix of Heavily edited CC0 art by Surt and unrecognizably-warped balrug tiles by Sastreii.
* Gehenna stone: A mix of ontoclasm's Labyrinth stone and unrecognizably-warped pit fiend tiles by Denzi.
This also comes with some minor adjustments to a number of vaults to deploy these tiles a bit more (for various demonic contexts), and to avoid using them in holy_pan while that's still around. Should be a little easier to make Pan decor any visually interesting, at least.

feat: make miasma-breathing monsters less picky about their targets
There doesn't seem to be one explicit and consistent policy for player resists affecting monster AI, but most cloud spells don't check even species-level resistances.
A catoblepas would happily breathe calcifying dust at a gargoyle or djinni, swamp dragons don't mind breathing poison at a mummy, having poison resistance or even poison immunity doesn't affect swamp drakes' AI too, and only death drakes absolutely refuse to waste turns breathing miasma at anyone with rMiasma. This includes not only mummies, ghouls, and bloodless vampires, but also players who wear the Cigotuvi's embrace and players in statue, storm, death, or wisp form.
Death drakes share this spell with a few extended monsters, so this commit makes them all ignore rMiasma when casting Miasma Breath or Death Rattle.

Don't try to place blind dancing weapons (#4089)
nicolae_gammafunk_elf_defective_weapons_storage tries to make one set of defective dancing weapons blind, but nonliving creatures can't be blinded in the first place, losing the defective weapon flavour that excuses a runed door box from placing ~8 or more dancing weapons. (The vault's own comments mention trying out confusion instead, but this will just make them kill everything else in the vault.) To fit the defect theme of being slow or covered in acid, and to follow the bug report's suggestion, they are now vitrified instead so they will effectively die much faster.
Closes #4089.

Add more to the Abyss feature sanitizing list
This list is used for when banishment changes one's immediate terrain surroundings from the prior branch into the Abyss. (Honestly, we could probably do with more of the reverse of Abyss corruption here and have the floor tiles of given old branches show up in the Abyss both on immediate banishment and in the floor copying so people can more easily notice that the Abyss is mirroring places besides Swamp.)
* Decorative floors rely on vault redefinitions and thus show up as question marks asking for a bug report otherwise. They now are just replaced with plain floor instead for now.
* The Orb Dais was duplicated by banishment (and is itself still otherwise unchanging in the process), and now is replaced by a statue instead.
* Runed doors not set by vaults (and instead by the Abyss copying seen and generated floors) tend to not actually lead to anywhere or serve their purpose at all, which is flavourful but also confusing for the heavy usage of runed doors as a highly mechanical matter. They now are replaced by regular clear closed doors instead. (Abyss recently got new flavour with the eye fountains, anyway.)

New requested monster spell icons (pianoman523)
Spells that get new icons: Blink Allies Away, Blink Allies Encircling, Dimensional Anchor, Flash Freeze, Mesmerize, Resonance Strike, Vitrify, and Vitrifying Gaze.
Most of these have come with some edits and tweaks to the initial submission. The Blink Allies [Encircling | Away] icons also uses the old ally heart icon drawn by ontoclasm, and the Resonance Strike icons also uses the Leda's Unmaking tile by Sastreii.
(Also, removed an excess placeholder Hoarfrost Cannonade tile left in a different folder for now.)

Don't try to place blind dancing weapons (#4089)
nicolae_gammafunk_elf_defective_weapons_storage tries to make one set of defective dancing weapons blind, but nonliving creatures can't be blinded in the first place, losing the defective weapon flavour that excuses a runed door box from placing ~8 or more dancing weapons. (The vault's own comments mention trying out confusion instead, but this will just make them kill everything else in the vault.) To fit the defect theme of being slow or covered in acid, and to follow the bug report's suggestion, they are now vitrified instead so they will effectively die much faster.

Fix inhibited regen infoleaking invis mons
Previously, the inhibited regen mutation effect was being applied while any monster was nearby, regardless of whether the player knew that it was there. This was technically an infoleak, and also led to messaging that players found confusing: E.g. with a nearby unseen horror, players couldn't rest, and they weren't being informed why in the combat log.
This commit changes the behavior of inhibited regen to only take effect with visible nearby monsters: there shouldn't be any issues with this from a gameplay perspective, and this fixes both the infoleak and the messaging.
Fixes #4018. Closes #4064.

Remove an outdated slime shaft veto (gammafunk)
Previously, player shaft destinations were specifically vetoing target positions with adjacent slime walls. This check was added in 61e6210cf4, to prevent shafts in slime from dealing damage to the player (and possibly killing the player) before they had a chance to react.
That reasoning was obviated in e3182b2870, when slime walls were reworked to no longer deal damage. Preventing the player from being shafted to a position that corrodes them is less compelling reasoning; let's allow it again.
This reverts commit 61e6210cf4b648636163e9fe7f42c1eae1754a39.

Replace the V / Trove rock tiles
These rarely-seen rock tiles have always been somewhat gaudy in their highly-saturated fashion from back in the very first days of Crawl having tiles, and don't particularly obviously suit either of their uses. I'm fusing them with the equally-old and currently quite rare wall_brick_gray (currently used in one Spider end, one Shoals end, one Kiku vault, and one bazaar option) to present a sort of "flaking golden bricks stained very lightly with blood" look, which should hopefully work out better in terms of resembling regular building material while still looking different from most other places' rock tiles.

Animate Skeleton was nominally removed in 613369f but the removal was somewhat incomplete. The spell description was left in a number of translations (just removed in en), the spell tile still remained, the spell data was still present and not made into an AXED_SPELL, the enum was not marked for TAG_MAJOR_VERSION deletion, and (consequently) it was not added to removed_spells.
So to avoid potential confusion and errors I have done the above. I also added a fixup in tags.cc so very old Necromancer saves should now receive Soul Splinter instead (which it was ultimately replaced with).

Heavily rewrite Xom's action picking code + subsequent odds
Xom's twin action-picking functions (one each for good and bad actions) were legendarily bad code that was next to impossible to properly assess the odds of any given action or change such in any meaningful way. (One could run the wizmode Xom simulations list to get a very rough idea of the former, but the latter was heavily bound by its implementation.) This rewrite replaces massive waterfalls of condition + roll checks to instead just use a list of weights and lambdas, to make it much easier to parse and adjust for any future Xom changes, as well as to minorly tweak Xom's overall effects with such newfound capabilities.
This also comes with some implementation changes:
* Xom will only polymorph allies with non-zero tension, so Xom will no longer see the player resting and decide to replace the regenerating single long-term ally with a random no-longer-regenerating ally.
* Tension checks are no longer heavily fudged between actions, and now weapon animation, multiple ally summoning, mass charm, and swapping door states all require more than next to no tension to happen.
* Most noticeably: Xom's non-boredom mood no longer de-emphasizes the most common effects, for both good and bad effects. Xom's mood has always been one of Xom's weakest design components (in how Xom's inherent lack of reliablity meant particularlly good or bad moods were background announced swings of luck rather than any inherent change). Future goals for Xom in this version are to replace all of Xom's mood levels besides boredom with a visible tension meter, while slicing out the most enemy-annihilating / player-annihilating options into more controlled fashions to try and save a worshipper rather than annihilating individual quokkas or komodos with half a dozen force lances.
* Most noticeable out of this is that Xom is marginally more likely to teleport the player into bad situations in a worse mood at no tension, and is more likely to stick to potions and tension spells versus summoning allies or raining down destruction when in a good mood at any meaningful tension.
In the total average of Xom moods, action chances shouldn't change by more than a flat 0.1% to happen or 4% proportionally either way with the new math, but even mood evening out the likelihood of actions more often there are a few notable shifts while these initial numbers were being set:
* In the good actions list, tension spells and random item gifts are marginally more common (as they're some of Xom's most usefully variable actions in the first place), while detect all, fog, mass halo, and bazaar trips are all less common (the first is quite good these days but has significant fall-off on more completed floors, the second is boring, and the last two work better the rarer they are to see).
* In the bad actions list, Xom has less chance to roll nothing and slightly more chance to make idle noise.

Fix tentacles losing constriction whenever they pull something
The entire concept behind how starspawn tentacles and snaplasher vines are supposed to work is that they pull the thing that they are constricting. But (since 0.18-ish) due to their own movement, they actually stop constricting the thing immediately *before* they drag it, resulting in confusing message sequences like "The snaplasher vine loses its grip on you. The vine pulls you backwards!" How is it doing that, exactly?
This is, of course, because there is a moment in time where the tentacle has moved, but the constrictee has not yet, and thus the constriction is 'invalid'. Conceptually, they're supposed to be moving at the same time, though, so this adds a parameter to actor::moveto and actor::move_to_pos to allow skipping constriction invalidation until after both things have moved.

Remove an outdated slime shaft veto (gammafunk)
Previously, player shaft destinations were specifically vetoing target positions with adjacent slime walls. This check was added in 61e6210cf4, to prevent shafts in slime from dealing damage to the player (and possibly killing the player) before they had a chance to react.
That reasoning was obviated in e3182b2870, when slime walls were reworked to no longer deal damage. Preventing the player from being shafted to a position that corrodes them is less compelling reasoning; let's allow it again.
This reverts commit 61e6210cf4b648636163e9fe7f42c1eae1754a39.

Replace the V / Trove rock tiles
These rarely-seen rock tiles have always been somewhat gaudy in their highly-saturated fashion from back in the very first days of Crawl having tiles, and don't particularly obviously suit either of their uses. I'm fusing them with the equally-old and currently quite rare wall_brick_gray (currently used in one Spider end, one Shoals end, one Kiku vault, and one bazaar option) to present a sort of "flaking golden bricks stained very lightly with blood" look, which should hopefully work out better in terms of resembling regular building material while still looking different from most other places' rock tiles.

Properly remove Animate Skeleton
Animate Skeleton was nominally removed in 613369f but the removal was somewhat incomplete. The spell description was left in a number of translations (just removed in en), the spell tile still remained, the spell data was still present and not made into an AXED_SPELL, the enum was not marked for TAG_MAJOR_VERSION deletion, and (consequently) it was not added to removed_spells.
So to avoid potential confusion and errors I have done the above. I also added a fixup in tags.cc so very old Necromancer saves should now receive Soul Splinter instead (which it was ultimately replaced with).

Fit more vault.lua includes into the .des files
Crawl rebuilds got somewhat tempermental about the .des caches after 5f48996 and ce7c55b made the bulk of files rely on dlua/vault.lua functions to redefine statues or floor- this should hopefully should fix up such issues by putting the crawl_require line into all files that use any of the three redefinition functions.

Adjust some spell tiles
* Removed the Fake Rakshasa Summon icon, since the old Rakshasa summon behaviour is extremely unlikely to return and current Rakshasas split without casting a spell.
* Made a new quick placeholder Hoarfrost Cannonade tile using Sastreii's recent hoarfrost cannon submissions. Spells like this one meant for the upcoming school may need a new full revising in time to get them closer to one another in colour schema and consistent tile appearance, but this should most likely wait until the initial spells are added for the school.
* Repurpose a Hoarfrost Cannonade tile submission that lacked any visible cannons to instead work as Hoarfrost Bullet and Legendary Destruction icons, with the former also using ontoclasm's Throw Icicle icon.
* Trim the accidental black border off of the Gell's Gavotte icon.

Heavily rewrite Xom's action picking code + subsequent odds
Xom's twin action-picking functions (one each for good and bad actions) were legendarily bad code that was next to impossible to properly assess the odds of any given action or change such in any meaningful way. (One could run the wizmode Xom simulations list to get a very rough idea of the former, but the latter was heavily bound by its implementation.) This rewrite replaces massive waterfalls of condition + roll checks to instead just use a list of weights and lambdas, to make it much easier to parse and adjust for any future Xom changes, as well as to minorly tweak Xom's overall effects with such newfound capabilities.
This also comes with some implementation changes:
* Xom will only polymorph allies with non-zero tension, so Xom will no longer see the player resting and decide to replace the regenerating single long-term ally with a random no-longer-regenerating ally.
* Tension checks are no longer heavily fudged between actions, and now weapon animation, multiple ally summoning, mass charm, and swapping door states all require more than next to no tension to happen.
* Most noticeably: Xom's non-boredom mood no longer de-emphasizes the most common effects, for both good and bad effects. Xom's mood has always been one of Xom's weakest design components (in how Xom's inherent lack of reliablity meant particularlly good or bad moods were background announced swings of luck rather than any inherent change). Future goals for Xom in this version are to replace all of Xom's mood levels besides boredom with a visible tension meter, while slicing out the most enemy-annihilating / player-annihilating options into more controlled fashions to try and save a worshipper rather than annihilating individual quokkas or komodos with half a dozen force lances.
* Most noticeable out of this is that Xom is marginally more likely to teleport the player into bad situations in a worse mood at no tension, and is more likely to stick to potions and tension spells versus summoning allies or raining down destruction when in a good mood at any meaningful tension.
In the total average of Xom moods, action chances shouldn't change by more than a flat 0.1% to happen or 4% proportionally either way with the new math, but even mood evening out the likelihood of actions more often there are a few notable shifts while these initial numbers were being set:
* In the good actions list, tension spells and random item gifts are marginally more common (as they're some of Xom's most usefully variable actions in the first place), while detect all, fog, mass halo, and bazaar trips are all less common (the first is quite good these days but has significant fall-off on more completed floors, the second is boring, and the last two work better the rarer they are to see).
* In the bad actions list, Xom has less chance to roll nothing and slightly more chance to make idle noise.

Fix Yred reaping always working (T1-M4T)
The code explicitly skipped summoned zombies/spectrals, but since the recent summon refactor, Yred's own zombies counted as such, causing your reaping effect to think you never had any zombies (and thus should have a 100% chance of success).
In addition to fixing that, this commit adds an explicit summon type to track Yred-reaped undead more directly.

Fix tentacles losing constriction whenever they pull something
The entire concept behind how starspawn tentacles and snaplasher vines are supposed to work is that they pull the thing that they are constricting. But (since 0.18-ish) due to their own movement, they actually stop constricting the thing immediately *before* they drag it, resulting in confusing message sequences like "The snaplasher vine loses its grip on you. The vine pulls you backwards!" How is it doing that, exactly?
This is, of course, because there is a moment in time where the tentacle has moved, but the constrictee has not yet, and thus the constriction is 'invalid'. Conceptually, they're supposed to be moving at the same time, though, so this adds a parameter to actor::moveto and actor::move_to_pos to allow skipping constriction invalidation until after both things have moved.

Don't display tentacle/segments as 'minions'
They may internally be treated as summons, but are logically part of a single large creature and probably make sense to display as such.
(Solo tentacles created by magic still display as minions, but their segments should not.)

Fix attitude change propogation for tentacles
Changing the attitude of a tentacle head properly adjusted the attitude of its tentacles, but the reverse was *not* true, leading to some weird behavior.
If a player (for instance) attacked the tentacle segment of a charmed starspawn, the starspawn would appear to ignore it entirely. (The segment's attitude would be made hostile, but segments are constantly recreated every action, and it would be seemlessly replaced by another friendly one essentially immediately.)
But if the player attacked the *tip* of a tentacle, the tip would turn hostile, *but the rest of the segments would not*, resulting in some impressive acrobatics as the tentacle attempted to attack/constrict its own segments.
This commit attempts to do a better job of propagating attitude changes back up to the head. Changing attitude directly in wizmode works properly if you do it for tentacle segments, and attitude changes cased by ME_WHACK/ME_ANNOY behavior events called on child monsters will send the same event to the tentacle head itself. This should result in attacks against any part of the tentacle monster being interpreted as attacks against the monster as a whole.

Fix a crash on non-damage kills of tentacle segments (staticshock)
If a tentacle segment was killed for reasons other than damage, the code in monster_die that attempts to clean up the rest of the tentacle would recursively kill it a second time before the first monster_die finished, resulting in an assert.
(Presently this is happening due to a second bug that is considering all tentacle segments to be summons which should be abjured upon taking friendly fire, but it is conceptually possible to trigger this in other ways.)

Fix randomness in shield block to-hit calculation
To account for shield block in hit %, shield_bonus() was copied to monster_info; however slightly unexpectedly there was a random roll being applied in this method. This meant that for monsters with shields (or an amulet of reflection) the to-hit % would randomly change each time inspected.
Additionally the way integer division was used across these methods meant there was some further inaccuracy in the simple average calculated for some values of sh.
This change improves the formula a bit; it's still not perfect but definitely better. It also now correctly indicates when a monster's incapacitated status is affecting the shield block, if that monster had zero dodge normally.

Fix Sniper showing 1% hit chance and bypass shield
Improvements to the hit chance display unfortunately introduced a bug when hit chance is AUTOMATIC_HIT, causing the xv to show to hit as 1%.
While fixing this I noticed there is a very tiny but still non-zero chance for AUTOMATIC_HIT attacks to be blocked by a shield, due to AUTOMATIC_HIT being treated as a hit roll of 1500. Since this is either slightly unexpected or if intended should be more impactful, it seems easiest to just bypass shield checks as well for something like Sniper.

Add the Abjuration spell to clua monster info
Monsters with spells marked with the summon flag get Abjuration the automatically, although only cast with a chance when they would cast a summon spell. This special case has to be handled separately if we're listing a monster's spells. Hence this commit adds Abjuration to a monster's spell list in clua when appropriate.

Fix directional bias in pool fixup
Due to the algorithm modifying tiles as it went, subsequent iterations were based on the new state rather than the original - this resulted in North- and West-facing pools getting affected potentially several tiles deep, while the South and East edges general got just a one tile layer of shallow water, which looked a bit odd and not symmetrical.
The adjusted algorithm builds a vector of coords to paint later: however this looked rather too neat as then there is only ever a 1-tile border of shallow water. So I ran a 2nd pass to let the shallow water encroach to 2 tiles deep in places. The probabilities needing tweaking to produce a satisfying organic look that is quite varied.
Sometimes the 2nd pass will not run, with a 25% chance, to produce tidier pools and moats occasionally (but not in Lair).

Fix Flayed effect ending upon taking stairs with a ghost (staticshock)
The comment for monster_cleanup() was misleading enough that some on-death functions ended up being moved here by 5f5c15f, but this resulted in Flay wearing off immediately if a flayed ghost left the level (including by taking the stairs with the player!)

A clua monster method for finding its summoner
The crawl UI highlights a monster's summoner in LOS examination mode, but there was previously no way to determine a monster's summoner from clua. This commit adds a summoner_pos() method to the monster info table that returns a pair of LOS coordinates of the monster's summoner. It returns nil if the monster's isn't summoned or it the monster or its summoner are not in LOS. I've copied the summoning monster's mid into the monster_info class and updated the examination mode UI to use this information. This way we have a centralized check for whether the summoner is valid to reveal, at least regardless of LOS concerns.

Tweak confusion's interaction with tension
Confusion is easily cured with potions of curing later in the game, so staying in confusion being a high multiplier of tension is sort of weird in so far as one would only do such if they weren't any concerned with the encounter. (However, it's still plenty lethal very early on, when one doesn't know about potions of curing yet.) Contrariwise, confusion is substantially worse than many other statuses if one can't actually cure it any time soon due to not being able to drink potions (whether in Cocytus, while possessing -Potion status, or being a mummy / lich).
As such, this takes the current x2 tension multiplier for confusion, sets it slightly higher by default, and drops that slowly down versus one's current XL, unless one can't drink to cure it which case it becomes a flat x2.5 multiplier. (This is a little silly for Elyvilon, but there's a piety cost involved for the extremely little non-Xom non-wrath uses of tension that could even come up versus -Potion.) Hopefully this should help out Mummy Chaos Knights a little bit more and get tension the littlest bit closer to being a more usable function.

Teach searing wretches to swim across lava
Gehenna is in a weird place versus Cocytus, where over half of its threats can't move across lava the way Cocytus's can move across deep water. While this does provide a useful contrast point for the differing varieties of ranged monsters in Gehenna (and tyrants also work very differently than wellsprings), it means the main unique layouts of the Hell work out awkwardly in terms of several threats figuring out how to walk towards the player.
As a point of comparison, the other fiery undead in the branch (stokers) actually _swims_ across lava, which feels like precedent enough to let searing wretches do the same. Melee-only threats being impeded by their own branches terrain feels very awkward, there's no vaults in Gehenna that seem to rely on them being unable to move across lava, and there's not a lot of lava for them to otherwise swim in as part of Margery's band, so this should be a reasonable safe change.

New creeping inferno tile (pianoman523)
As with the apis change in b8f47f2 and retiling in b29aa79, this submission was delayed until the mechanics for the monster were reworked, to hopefully help tiles players associate a new appearance with a drastically different behaviour. This combines and edits multiple submissions by the same artist; it still looks a bit silly, but vastly less janky than the previous creeping inferno's lurking horror recolour tile.

Revise creeping infernos and tweak stokers
Creeping infernos are very strangely troubled monsters for Gehenna.
* Frail explosive enemies in extended are extremely unlikely to actually detonate on the player in general, as anything from wands to level 2 spells to boomerangs and stones could easily kill them before they approach.
* The lurking horror behaviour where they hesitate to move the further away they are combines very strangely with their limited explosion range and frailty- while lurking horrors are a usefully-scaling screen-wide torment burst, creeping infernos can take over a dozen turns from being a screen-distance away (thus giving players lots and lots of time to throw a stone), and can take twice as long if a player actually tries to run away at all.
* Even when they actually succeed at hitting the player, their 8d7 partially-resistable damage is only slightly stronger than a balrug's 3d23 fireball with one pip of rF, and weaker than balrug smiting or hellion damnation at two pips of rF, which is very sad for something that could have very easily failed to hit the player.
(I'm not going to even start on how stokers have little chance to succeed in rarely summoning bombs that are slow to actually have walk up. Maybe these designs made more sense when stokers had maintain_range? They're extremely unlikely to get it back, but this should help them too- for now, they're moving from a tiny 5% to a passable 10% chance to actually summon their defining threat.)
This commit reworks creeping infernos entirely to instead just act like bloated husks do for Swamp- they have an average of 111 HP, move normally at normal speed, and still explode on death or on touching the player (for 8d10 rather than 8d7 previously!) if they reach melee range. This reasonably increases their functionality while still preserving their namesake impending threat- now instead of collapsing from individual stones, they require rather deliberate firefighting as their new bulk inevitably creeps towards the player. To help make this not trivially ignorable, they also go from Will 10 to Will 60- by the time one's in the Hells, non-spellcasters can afford some Evocations investment.
It will take a fairly long bit of testing to see how this works out- extended feedback takes quite a while to come in. Gehenna is unlikely to move that much further from its current easiest Hell position or push that much higher than the other hells (which _have_ been adjusted recently), anyway- these still die to anything from summons to conjurations to Manifold Assault to charming a hell hog to just facetanking their relatively low single-burst damage anyway.

Fix summons not looking like summons during timeout (Colgate, Darby)
monster::is_summoned() was looking for the presence of a summon timer to determine whether a monster was summoned, but this timer doesn't actually exist while they're in the process timing out. As a result of this, it was possible to get XP from hitting hostile summons and then letting them expire. (If you actually killed them, they would still look like summons and grant no XP).
While KILL_TIMEOUT probably never needs to give XP, it seems dangerous to allow summons to look - at any point - like they are not summons. Who knows what other things, now or in the future, might work improperly this way?
I am *hoping* the new criteria for is_summoned() will properly encompass everything that should count and nothing which shouldn't, but I won't be entirely confident until we test it out. Fingers crossed!

More nekomata tweaks
* Don't use the altered nekomata tile for Phantom Blitz unless the caster-to-clone is a nekomata, just in case some sprint monster ends up using the spell.
* Tweak the nekomata experience value yet further up. Honestly, we could probably do with adjusting threat display for lategame characters with some sort of overriding threat flag- hell sentinels no longer being listed as lethal at reaching XL 20 is a pretty direct demonstration that the whole system is troubled at high experience levels.
* Remove nekomata from the orb run, as they're overshadowing the random Pan lords there and many people aren't examining a new monster to treat it with the same respect a random Pan lord would deserve. (I'd rather just keep the strongest Pan monsters out of the orb run entirely than actually nerf down monsters meant to be highlights of a given extended branch. If we continue to move in the direction of Hell-Pan roulette, we can just seperate orb run lists from Pan entirely (since Pan wouldn't exist in half the games) and it could mix in Hell enemies without expecting either branches' strongest and most emblematic monsters to appear on the orb run like shard shrikes or doom hounds.)

Don't crash on monsters dying to dead monsters (+fix monster frenzy orb)
The guard which prevented a crash on kills by dead monsters (such as exploders) was removed by 400f974 at least in part because the comment above it was misleading enough that I thought it wasn't necessary.
This also fixes a second bug among the same code, where Orbs of Mayhem wielded by monsters could only trigger if the player currently worshipped TSO and the monster which died was evil. ...because for some reason, the mayhem check was in the TSO follower blessing codeblock, and appears to have always been.

Don't kill an ancestor every time the player takes the stairs (Shummie)
After the recent refactoring, the simplified ally dismissal code was killing *all* monsters on the floor the player was leaving that were marked as having been created by the player. And for some reason, Hep ancestors considered the player to be their summoned.
I don't *think* there will be any issue with them just not having a summoner marked at all, and this fixes the present issue. (If some reason is discovered why this marking is important, I can fix it in some other way.)

(This actually has a mechanical effect now that Lugonu anti-wrath specifically looks for monsters created by other gods' wrath. But it seems like good policy regardless.)

Make Bind Soul simulacra (and Kiku wrath derived undead) unrewarding
It wasn't terribly obvious that the simulcra created by Bind Soul were temporary, since their durations were extremely long, but they were. Which meant that the player got no XP for them, despite no messages otherwise indicating they were 'summons'. At that rate, it seems fine if they just stay around forever, and are explicit about this.
This also fixes a bug where the MF_NO_REWARD flag set by Kiku wrath reanimations was being overridden just a few lines below where it was set. This didn't *seem* to result in the player being able to get XP from them in 0.32, so a different (bug?) must have been preventing this bug from mattering. At any rate, it should be fixed now.
(The MF_HARD_RESET doesn't really do anything except make the new icon and description appear properly)

Rename 'durably summoned' to 'unrewarding' and tweak a few things
Despite the name, durably summoned monsters didn't act like summons in very many ways besides 'created by a spell/effect and don't drop items or xp'. They weren't abjurable, could take stairs, were valid targets for many things summons were not, never went away when the thing that created them was destroyed, etc.
At the same time, some monsters which were *effectively* the same as 'durably summoned' were not marked as such, presumably because no pretense of magic was involved - most notably the spawns of The Royal Jelly.
I think this entire thing would be made clearer by not giving any suggestion that current 'durably summoned' monsters are similar to 'summoned' and instead hilight the part that *actually* distinguishes them from any other normal monster: the fact that they don't give any reward.
These monsters now say 'unrewarding' when examined, and the icon used is slightly different (to distinguish it further from the summon dot). TRJ spawns also recieve this icon, so it will now be possible to tell them apart from other jellies at a glance. (This was always possible if you xv'd them, but that was very time-consuming)
This additionally removes the message "That felt strangely unrewarding" for monsters explicitly labelled as unrewarding. I mean, what else would one expect?
Note: this icon is presently displayed both on the same condition as durable summons were (ie: having both MF_HARD_RESET and MF_NO_REWARD) but also the old condition used to mention no rewards when xv'd (which just checked for MF_NO_REWARD and mons_class_gives_xp()). This previous behavior was always *slightly incorrect*, since MF_NO_REWARD does not prevent item drops, and while many effects set both flags at once, not all of them do. In fact, it is important that some don't! (Bound souls should still drop their equipment, for instance). But despite this, xv will claim that they cannot drop items.
A review to fix up a few cases where this gives slightly misleading information would be a good idea, but it rarely actually matters, so I will do that at some future time.

Tweak the text of large HP costs on abilities
The previous ambigious cost of "Pain" was used on four different abilities:
* Kiku's Brand Weapon With Pain: invoking Torment * Lugonu's Enter the Abyss: a completely random but non-lethal HP amount * Yred's Bind Soul: 1/3rd of HP, returned on soul-binding * Makhleb's Brand Self: 2/3rds of HP
Mentioning in abilities that this merely "will hurt you" is quite the understatement, and was also entirely false for Kiku if the player is undead or a wisp. "Pain" is also a relatively overloaded term in-game, with both a weapon brand and a monster spell that both don't hurt nearly as much.
As such, I've added another ability flag to differentiate Kiku's Torment cost from the other costs, and more precisely state in the other ability's cost descriptions that one will lose a large fraction of their HP. Hopefully, this should prevent people from using Kiku and Makhleb 6* gifts mid-fight as can be quite dangerous.

Prevent most (but not all) auras from affecting firewood (Sastreii)
This was less obvious when the main aura being deployed was torpor snails and thus players only saw them when a wand of charming or a scroll of summoning got a friendly torpor snail to affect firewood. Now that polterguardians can make rare V plants repel missiles and apises can double the vigour of nearby Shoals or Holy Pan plants (yet not prevent them from withering away entirely), this is conspicuous enough that it's now disabled for most auras by default.
(The main exception here is for martyred shades, as Fedhas doesn't complain about summoning ghosts these days and they definitely _should_ be able to support player or enemy briar patches. For now, unless further aura effects produce a second exception, said injury bond is the only one that still affects firewood.)

New decorations: flags, flowers, mop buckets, fur brushes
All of these employ the previous commit's "decorative floor" feature. As a result, they are all mutually exclusive in appearances with each other, and all thus lack messages or solidity. Still, they should help liven up the Dungeon with various non-obtrusive themes.
* "Orcish standards" appear in the more statistically dangerous orc bailies, a few of the blander orc vaults outside of their branch, and some of the least decorated Orc vaults in the branch, so these vaults have more than orcish idols and altars of Beogh. * "Infernal standards" mostly appear in Gehenna, so the branch has something specific to it (compare 9c46c80.) * Regular "mop and bucket" decorations appear in Vaults, with the rare occasional other use in D and other humanoid-centric branches like Snake. We've got a lot of random generic boxes made by layout generators already- given closets and corners might as well be handed a small bit of flavour and purpose. * "Bloodied mop and bucket" decorations mostly appear in Dis and Makhleb vaults (compare to pillars of rime and infernal standards). * "Garden patches" and "floral vases" appear in various housing and garden locations (extending some of 5c82c18 while also giving them descriptions), with the latter also getting a few graveyard uses. * "Flower patches" appear in various forests, grassy locales, and around a few killer bee vaults. * "Mourning vases" and "broken floral vases" appear in ruins, undead vaults, memorial graveyards, and so on and so forth. * "Fur piles", while very rare, mostly appear in Vaults (where they're brushing the various yaktaurs) and other yak vaults.
All of these tiles are by ploomutoo, as was added in 76a730d. I trimmed out and made various colour-cyclings of the cobblestone garden flowers for more visual variety in flower patches. To ease further tile additions using these features and to make the colouration schemas more consistent for any other uses, these all use a predefined list in dlua/vault.lua- just use something like ": decorative_floor(_G, 'p', "flower patch")" in a given vault. (Some other repeated feature renames / recolours / retiling, like 0.32's various statues, probably should get this same sort of ease in the future, to trim down on boilerplate and make it easier to document and teach other would-be users of such in the future.)
Thanks to DracoOmega for helping edit these new decorative feature descriptions. (I also resorted dat/descript/features.txt a little while adding these new descriptions, to split apart portals from other vaults.)

Placeholder feature: decorative floor
This is a bit of a placeholder hack for a large number of good tile submissions in 76a730d and potential additional tile additions over time, that don't want to actually be executed as rapidly-destructible or diggable statues, solely placed on top of walls, or heavily written up for character-specific messaging as fountains and food incidentally heavily rely upon. (There are also no features left that entirely make sense for them to be renames for, after fountains gained flavour messages in 8966e59 to help justify their whole lot. It would also add an indefinite number of additional floor tiles to feign these otherwise being properly layered on top of given branch layouts, and would lose out on writing up any descriptions for them.)
Without any other relatively reasonable ways to approach such, and with nearly a dozen different potential tiles workable for these purposes, I am using a hack of a new feature solely meant to be redefined, which for all intents and purposes is floor with a different glyph. (As with the addition of food caches back in 831329d, these are all walkable features that shouldn't interrupt terrain transformation in any fashion, and which Xom doesn't interact with.)
Ideally, these cases would instead be handled with a significant rewrite to the vault code for KFEAT to allow per-instance per-glyph redefinitions of names and colours and tiles, in much the same way as vault monsters, scythes, and hammers work. It'd deal with various other issues (like the current inability to use both dead trees and live trees in the same vault, or the inability to use more than two types of statues) and smoothen over a fair bit of this code. Until then, the relatively invisible hack should be worth the straightforward additional flavour possibilities.
(Note: I am 100% against adding almost anything else in this space, like DNGN_METAL_STATUE_2 or DNGN_DECORATIVE_FLOOR_2, solely for the sake of vaults that want to deploy multiples of these at once. Said rewrite should happen before stretching this hack any further, as the cost of having a single feature wouldn't be nearly as bad as adding further ones.)

Fix apises giving monsters permanent max HP every turn (RoGGa)
The apis aura, behind the scenes, was removing and re-adding the doubled vigor buff each turn. This theoretically would have no effect (dividing their doubled max HP by 2, then multiplying it by 2 again), but math in monster::scale_hp intended to prevent monsters from *losing* max HP after berserking, due to rounding, was causing each monster in the aura to gain 1 base max HP for every turn they were near the apis. This meant that by the time the player found the apis, monsters nearby might have gained hundreds of additional max HP!
The solution in this commit is very quick and hacky. A better solution would involve actually storing the monster's 'original' max HP in some fashion. But since there are multiple stacking ways to modify this, and some care would be needed to make sure it did not introduce new bugs, I have opted for the simplest, quickest solution for the moment, to put a stop to a bug that will easily kill players.

Reuse pillars of rime as occasional Cocytus decor
Another attempt to try and use what we already have available in game for another decorative purpose, to make Cocytus feel a little more Hell like instead of just being an ice zone with demons in it as ice caves already present.
Compared to the usage of decorative boulders in d9500d9 and their replacement for piles of debris in 03d5c24, these don't list a movespeed or have use that itself is more active. (If people _are_ still going to be paranoid about them doing something, then those same people are probably still paranoid about granite statues or pillars of salt.) Also: by the time one's in Cocytus, most characters should also be readily easily able to break apart or pierce attack past an obstacle with only ~37 average HP and 15 AC, so I am experimenting a second time with using obstacles that don't start slowly dying on the slightest touch. It should distinguish it a little more as an actual new decoration, and they're not really placed in a branch that has lots of space or running around to encourage individually destroying them all.

Reuse pillars of rime as occasional Cocytus decor
Another attempt to try and use what we already have available in game for another decorative purpose, to make Cocytus feel a little more Hell like instead of just being an ice zone with demons in it as ice caves already present.
Compared to the usage of decorative boulders in d9500d9 and their replacement for piles of debris in 03d5c24, these don't list a movespeed or have use that itself is more active. (If people _are_ still going to be paranoid about them doing something, then those same people are probably still paranoid about granite statues or pillars of salt.) Also: by the time one's in Cocytus, most characters should also be readily easily able to break apart or pierce attack past an obstacle with only ~37 average HP and 15 AC, so I am experimenting a second time with using obstacles that don't start slowly dying on the slightest touch. It should distinguish it a little more as an actual new decoration, and they're not really placed in a branch that has lots of space or running around to encourage individually destroying them all.

Don't allow performing actions on features on other levels (angelslayer)

Don't let the player use off-level items with CMD_DISPLAY_MAP.
_allowed_actions() had allowed commands such as (g)et for items on another level, so long as they have shared the player's co-ordinates. You could (say) pick up the orb of Zot from D:1, or "blink" through a wall using a suitably placed scroll.
It now only allows "(g)o to location" for anything on another level.

Let player illusions copy a lot more statuses
The _player_duration_to_mons_enchantment list for player illusions (whether sourced from Mara, Nemelex, or Xom) is extremely short, unchanged in 13 years. Unsurprisingly, we've added quite a few statuses over such a span of time, but next to none of them have been included in this list. It's got a strangely flavour-based comment explanation above it stating that "internal" "magical" effects are supposed to be gathered, but not "external" effects- I'm choosing to forego this entirely, due to such logic being both 1: non-obvious, 2: weird to single out when illusions also are ostenibly getting one's collective equipment offenses and defenses, and 3: extremely out of date with other added "internal" magic effects.
The old list of copied effects were: invisibility, confusion, paralysis, slow, haste, might, berserk, and poison. The new list adds on: barbs, blind, brilliance, corrosion, dimensional anchor, fire vulnerability, frozen, lowered or heightened will, -move, petrifying, poison vulnerability, resistance, sap magic, sign of ruin, swiftness, toxic radiance, vitrification, and weak.
This should make friendly illusions a little weaker (which is fine, since Nemelex is quite strong) but with a few key upside uses (in preserving some notable effects like brilliance and swiftness). It should also make hostile effects a bit scarier (unless one is already heavily debuffed, which covers for itself anyway), which is good due to Mara underperforming these days and Xom always being in need of more noticeably variation in threat.

More tweaks to more recent monsters
* Experience value increases are being handed out to thermic dynamos (which are taking up quite a high proportion of kills versus appearance numbers), undying armouries (who are successfully providing very dangerous support roles while being reasonably sturdy themselves), and nekomata (who are successfully completely terrifying if not properly respected, can squash most other tier-1 demons, and are currently tearing apart Pan visitors). Since the winrate went slightly down in the last tournament, this should be fine in terms of slightly increasing overall amounts of experience in the game, and it should also help the monster threat assessment displays.
* Sin beasts continue to underperform in Pan- unsurprising, considering their relatively low damage as melee threats that late. Rather than buff Geryon much further, sin beasts spawning rather than being summoned now appear in duos- trampling non-draconic monsters tend to spawn in bands as is, and their support capacities of antimagic and repositioning for other monsters will work better when they get another body to work with.
* To help make finding the original nekomata easier to parse, their summons now get a differently-recoloured tile to help mark them seperately from the original beyond the small purple summoned status dot. (I'm divided on doing what AF_SWARM does and sending the summons to be owned by original caster, as this will make them summon copies much faster due to individual ones not having their own effective summon cap- I want more data before revising such an implementation.)

New tileset for granite statues in Depths, Zot
The long granite statue tile list has a number of upsides and downsides. It provides reasonably easy flavour for given vaults of civilisation or ruin, it highlights the highly cosmopolitan population of the Dungeon and its branches, and they always immediately serve as a conspicuous highlighting point to indicate the presence of a vault. However, they also have major issues- with 29 different statue tiles depicting completely different matters used in excess amounts throughout every single branch regardless of that branch's flavour, they immediately all blend into the mental background. A given arbitrary hall in D, Lair, Snake, Swamp, Elf, and Zot all share depictions of angels, demons, warriors, and snails, which actually homogenizes those branches with the very means a vault is meant to stand out with. While an extensive list of highly-specific stand-out decorations have been deployed throughout 0.32 and 0.33 to try and provide more specific flavour, they can't be deployed absolutely everywhere without losing their own distinctive flavour, and already in their sparser uses lead to concern and confusion about whether or not they actually do anything.
As an attempt to deal with such issues, I'm starting what may be an extremely long-term project, to deploy overlapping but mostly completely different tilesets for granite statues in different branches corresponding to their contents and flavour both. As I have plenty of artistic limitations, the bulk of what I'm deploying here is admittedly recolours using current tiles, unused tiles, and replaced tiles. Still, I am adamant that this overall effort is worthwhile for making a statue actually have any deliberate purpose rather than being effectively random noise in over 75% of their hundreds of uses.
This commit starts off with Depths and Zot, branches that already heavily want to stand out as dramatic for being the end of a regular three-rune game. These statue sets include focusing down on demons, not-yet-walking tomes, liches, spriggans, and varying depictions of orb guardians over the ages. Hopefully they'll succeed at making Depths and Zot feel more coherent in their specific flavour, and the palette + statue tiles they'll share amongst themselves but not other branches will hopefully help connect the two branches yet further.
"New" tile sources: * Tomes statue - Ploomutoo's decorative books. * Spriggan, vampiric fang statues - Coolio's spriggan berserker and mimic tiles. * Asmodeus, devil statues - roctavian's non-tall Asmodeus and blue devil. * Lich, seraph, serpent and old orb guardian statues - Denzi's old 32x32 and 64x64 tiles.

New decorations: weird machinery
Both of these new, very rare, and harmless statue-variants are using pieces from the large tile submission by ploomutoo in 76a730d. Since they're much more advanced technology than is usual for the rest of the Dungeon, they're currently solely meant to be used in Wizlabs (where they can join conduits in being weird magicwork equipment) and Zot (where electric golems have been running around for decades, which has other sci-fi references in it, and which has always wanted to seem more notably different from the rest of the Dungeon).
The enigmatic dynamoes are flavoured around knowing as little as possible about the machine, while the nascence circuits are flavoured around inexplicably knowing its exact purpose in making constructs. The duality of this should be cute enough to justify such an isolated shift in technological purpose (and neither actually implies that much more fancy capabilities than what iron and electric golems already imply). Both are only deployed in already relatively weird vaults or wizlabs that already focus on construct and mystery themes.
(There have been some disagreements between devs about how much these tiles and other vault statues should be deployed, so for now, they're only in a handful of vaults each. Several other decorative statues and petrified trees are in less, so this is fine for now. In the future, there should probably be more overall decoration options, which will also help figure out what exact tones and contents each branch wants.)

Ever-recurring vault review
Of note:
* grunt_temple_overflow_holy_war uses rock walls for wall_catacombs, so it matches the use of that rock in serial_column_ruins.
* st's old swamp vaults now have several still-relatively-old Swamp monsters added to them so that they're less monotonously close to the Swamp rune vaults (since they lack the sheer number to hold any of the same interest said rune vaults also possess).
* elves_outpost_lemuel and sword_in_stone are now rescaled earlier on, so they're not quite so aggressive with pre-Lair threats like e.g. 5.5 zephyrmancers.
* Chaos zig floors no longer include greater demons (as proteans provide plenty of non-pan-lord variety and other floors emphasize plenty of greater demons at this point), while Vestibule zig floors use slightly slower amounts of silent spectres (as they become redundant after a certain point versus the actual threats of a floor) in exchange for more greater demons.

Don't attack an exponential number of times with cleaving quick blades
(ie: if you have the Cleave status from Xom)
The second attack against each target would initiate an entire new series of attacks against every adjacent enemy, which grew *wildly* out of hand with many nearby enemies. If you were sufficiently bad at killing them (maybe only possible in wizmode), this could even crash the game.
Instead, only determine cleave targets from the first attack.

There's also a new a great orb of eyes tile that I can't help but see a face in, and have thus mirrored to face left (as every single monster besides the one literally-sleepwalking monster does). We'll see how it feels in practice.

With blizzard demons having had a formless (and angry) crackling cloud tile for over a dozen years (e970459), they can reasonably count as insubstantial. With c2ce1f5 having changed their shape out of a humanoid state, their Airstrike message has been screwed up (not that it's ever really clear they ever had conventional arms), so they now have a custom. arm / hand name string. With a deeply generic elemental description since their inception in caa05f8 (not a single other demon is even just described as "greater"), they can do with even the slightest bit of emotion-driven flavour in their description and cast messages.

Since the player isn't expected to fight plain deep dwarf, tengu, draconian, or vine stalker monsters in general, making their zombies in Crypt is deeply silly and weird.

New Pan demon: nekomata
Pandemonium could always do with some more variety beyond the demons one sees shared between summoning from the rest of a 3-rune game, the demonic vaults before Lair branches + entry vaults Depths, and the demons shared with the Abyss and the Hells. Demonspawn enemies and Pan lords themselves reasonably help with this, but there's plenty of hypothetical space across multiple glyphs to fit in more monsters, especially in the danger tier that demonspawn try to fulfill between tier 2 and tier 1 demons.
This new feline demon of trickery and disdain, a white "R" in console, is meant to try out a strange conjoining of archetypes- it is a ranged weapon threat _and_ a summoner, simultaneously. In the former aspect, it always comes with a branded ranged launcher (of flaming or draining, to reflect its arson and necromantic mythological capacities), plus Repel Missiles (as we never used in extended) and a demon blade (of either brand) as a fallback. In the latter aspect, it has a high chance to cast a new conjurations spell- "Phantom Blitz", a single-target projectile that deals damage and summons a copy of itself where the projectile stops. The summon cap for the spell is only 2, but each of the clones have their own summon cap for the spell, which should be memorably terrifying if let out of control.
This thus has the unique, cruel property of being even stronger than previous monsters that summon-on-hit by instead summoning from a distance with a conjuration, and works as a new iteration on the illusion mechanics of other eastern demons used in Crawl already. In its placement, it joins Pan and ranged Zig floors, gets to appear as a mage in Lom Lobon's floor and in a few guaranteed demonic rune vaults, plus regular Pan floor monster set generation / orb run sightings. Very high level Xom worshippers may also see them rarely- a summoning demon that can get out of control feels entirely appropriate for Xom.
Their tile is a modification of Sastreii's current rakshasa tile (with twin tails pulled off of Denzi's felid tiles). The current rakshasa tile is far too cat-like to be any mythologically accurate- a proper rakshasa may be somewhat beastial, but is hardly a full anthromorphic design, and also usually somewhat deformed. (Blame D&D for the tiger associations.) The previously-unused tile by meckryl still emphasizes ornate accessories while fitting a more fangsome and asymmetric appearance, and is now used for the rakshasa earlier in the game instead. The Phantom Blitz spell icon placeholder simply modifies ontoclasm and roctavian's Searing Ray icon.

Fix a rare crash with Dith shadow shot
If the player made a ranged attack which killed its primary target, and also triggered a shadow shot while the player shadow was not already out *and* the player was both invisible and could not see invisible, the game would crash. If any of these things was not true, it worked properly.
(The issue stemmed from fuzzing for beams near invisible players and how MID_PLAYER was used as the source of the tracer for determining what other target the shadow should shoot at, if it wasn't deployed yet. But MID_PLAYER_SHADOW_DUMMY was added for the specific purpose of simulating a player shadow that doesn't exist yet, so use it instead here. To be honest, I'm not sure why it wasn't already.)

Don't auto-hide currently unmemorisable spells when picking up books
Previously, if you worshipped Okawaru (for example), spells which could not be memorised would be silently added to your library and also hidden in your library.
Spells that can't be memorised do not appear on the spell library interface, so this had no actual effect as long as the spell could not be memorised. But, say, if you then abandoned Okawaru, you would find all their previously unmemorisable spells hidden in the library (so that, to unhide and memorise them, you would have to visit the "Show" screen).
In practice, this meant many players would just assume the spell was lost forever.

Make exploding sheep properly flee from the player (Lici)
The dream sheep spawned by kb_xom_exploding_sheep are generated permanently afraid, with the presumable intent that they run away from the player, however they aren't generated being *aware* of the player, which means that they usually have an internal target of (0, 0) and they try to run away from that instead of the player (ie: they just move south-east in general, regardless of where the player is).
If any other monster shouted or the player otherwise got the sheep's attention somehow, they would start fleeing in the proper direction, but it could still sometimes be a rude surprise to a low XL player. So let's try to get them moving in the right direction to start with.

Scale Zig sets a marginal amount harder
Since the quadratic scaling introduced in 5942d1e seems to have gone on perfectly fine without much noticing for ziggurats in the last tournament, we clearly can do with a little bit more harsh scaling for more floors. Worthy of note:
* Tar floors become almost entirely tzitzimimeh and silent spectres. * Dis floors become almost entirely hell sentinels. * Fire floors become almost entirely orbs of fire. * Holy floors become almost entirely seraphs. * Abyss, as a branch that can technically spawn silent spectres, now joins the fun of becoming a floor with explicit silent spectres and a swapping out of liches for daevas (who still smite under Silence).
Also, with increasing chances up to a guarantee on the ninth completed ziggurat, Zot traps replace the floor of many (but not all) ziggurat pillar vaults after one has completed more than one ziggurat, so that pillar vaults are more noticeable amongst all the rest of the enemy spam.
I do want to still come up with more unique scaling effects for ziggurats, later in this version, but they'll most likely wait until after more Pan and holy work is done.

Make Ephemeral Shield only activate on invocations that cost anything (Ge0FF)
Mostly to prevent instantly renaming one's ancestor from providing free SH over and over again. "Costs" as the mutation description now mentions include piety, HP, MP, cards, gold, max HP draining, Exhaustion, -Recite, and (begrudgingly) sacrifices to Ru. It's a weird list, but for the most part it should be fine for costing something or another preventing most invocations spam anyway- the only real cost here is losing Wu Jian wall-jumps, and Serpent's Lash is already an invocation that can highly value getting some shields afterwards.
(I'm not greatly worried about this still counting allies recall, as I mentioned in 9303715. Wasting the turn for 7 SH is unlikely to be of much value versus either walking away from enemies or swapping behind one's allies, and the mp cost is not insignificant when the gods with Recall also have MP-costing abilities of much higher value between Smiting, Torchlight, and Idealize.)
(There _might_ be some arguing about cards, Exhaustion, and Recite all counting. We'll see how this feels out over the long time it takes for non-Xom non-Jiyva characters to even see the mutations.)

Let player berserk give immunity to fear (DracoOmega)
Berserk monsters are immune to fear when berserked (as is obvious with early black bears), but players aren't (and a comment has been wondering about this discrepancy since c6d2f85). Cause Fear is a relatively rare effect only used on about four monsters, so it's not too significant a monster nerf / berserk buff (and those monsters all either meaningfully summon or debuff from a distance, so there's still some danger), but it adds a little more consistency in a relatively player-generous fashion.
(Also of high importance: Crawl doesn't show the fear aura that well when one is also berserk, and it'd be a massive headache to try to make it do so. Happy dual solutions.)

Marginally nerf ball pythons
After the major constriction rewrite of 9adf0d1, ball python have finally started to successfully tutorialize on the existence and power of constriction for D:1. This is good! It means there's a monster with a gimmick that'll take a fair ways longer to be seen again, that can allow experimenting with the gimmick much earlier, and which stands out amongst other D:1 and D:2 enemies in its support + damage role.
However, they're also a noticeably increased threat on D:1, which doesn't really need the bump upwards- between the two tournaments, they moved from the 43rd killer to the 13th. A good promotion, but possibly a bit much for one.
As such, I'm nudging down their non-constriction damage and their EV very slightly, which should make it easier to kill them when there's other enemies around, but which should also still let their newly finally threatening constriction be somewhat noticeable if they're not focused down on.

List which monsters can open doors
There are a number of monster tile bodyplans that would seemingly preclude the ability for a monster to open doors, yet some of those monsters still can in practice. Sun demons, ugly things, tentacled monstrosities and starspawn, glowing orange brains, various weirdly-composed golems and wraiths (including putrid mouths), Gloorx Vloq, Lom Lobon, and orb guardians make up the most obvious candidates here. It would be a significant nerf to make many of these unable to use doors (and console has gone on by knowing e.g. most Xs and all tiered demons can use doors).
Instead, this could be addressed by UI means somewhat directly. This comes with a variety of different attempts to address this:
* Every monster that can wield equipment already has the ability to open doors. Doors descriptions (outside of runed and sealed doors) further emphasize this fact, as well as mentioning some monsters that don't use equipment but can open doors.
* Monsters that could have equipment but haven't found any (crimson imps and iron imps being the obvious stand-outs), as well as monsters that only have MONUSE_OPEN_DOORS, now mention it amongst the other travel lines. To try to make the nonstandard-appearance door users stand out, monsters that lack a humanoid shape have a conspicuously different properties line than normal.
* (Ufetubi are now MONS_SHAPE_BIRD (they're closest to penguins), sun demons are now MON_SHAPE_ORB (matching foxfires and orbs of fire), and blizzard demons and putrid mouths are now MON_SHAPE_MISC (matching worldbinders as hands in clouds). This should only affect messaging and not anything else.)
* Jellies, Xtahua, and the Serpent of Hell also explicitly mention they can eat or crash through doors, as well.
* To try to reduce the number of description lines here, don't bother listing off if a monster could survive in water or lava if it already flies- currently, there's no way to ground enemies without outright polymorphing them anyway.
If there are sufficient complaints about excess monster information displayed here versus other more important bits, then some of this can be reverted. I'd like to keep the unusual door interactions and avoiding flying + water travel reductions, regardless.

New decoration: cache of baked goods
A follow-up to 831329d in terms of providing more options for civilized and lived-in housing flavour, though with some different angles here. These try for species' culture flavours rather than cultivars of fruit or given animal meats, and they're creeping into spriggan / centaur / klown / V vaults more than caches of meat go towards carnivore species and caches of fruit go to various old fruiting plants / trees.
As with the other food caches, Xom also can spawn or shuffle them around, and they use the same food_snacking_frequency option added in 9f76b2e. This also gets to mean the triumphant return of spriggan bakers.

A quick distribution of some new decorative tiles
* The yak with flowers on it is now part of the Elyvilon peaceful quokka vault at further depths and one of the more grassy bazaars.
* The bailies with orc warlords now get quick wall tiles dedicated to Beogh, using one of the Beogh wall banners.
* A few vaults meant to be a nice, idyllic home or garden get the gardens with cobblestones around them.
* A few Vaults and Zot vaults sample from the newer fountains. Ideally, I'd like to use different fountain tile bases per branch, but this would need more than just palette-adjusted drawing efforts for dry + eye fountains- probably would be good to ask other artists for such.
TODO: Write up decorlines as was done for food and fountains for different types of flowers between each branch, add a variant recolour or two (and use the version without the cobblestone in Lair), then have gardens be a new kind of walk-on-for-commentary terrain type?

feat: Add monster intelligence to clua
Monster intelligence (e.g. "Human" or "Mindless") was missing from clua even though it's present in the UI. This is a minimal implementation that simply returns the standard description string of a monster's intelligence. This is technically a feature, which we wouldn't normally add to stable/tournament, but it's only related to UI and arguably a bug that it was missing. It's also very minimal and has been tested locally.

fix: "Ran out of altars for temple" error (thirdmesn, Vajrapani) (#4005)
A few temple vaults had a temple_altars_X tag where X was lower than the number of altars in the vault. This caused the "Ran out of altars for temple" error during the creation of a new character/dungeon.
This commit fixes the issue by increasing the tag values to match the number of altars in the vault. This change results in temple vaults with 22 and 26 altars, instead of the previous max of 21.
Note: Does not update temple vaults with a variable temple count due to substitution removing the superfluous altars in the vault.
Resolves #2810 Resolves #3846
[Committer's note: actually tweaked the initialization temple function to allow the 22-altar temples to be picked. This _does_ slightly raise the average number of gods compared to 1659c76, but it's probably fine now that more gods are attractive to more characters in 0.32. Also, left a few more comments around.
Closes #4005.]

fix: Don't nest the clua monster spell table
The implementation of the clua monster info spells() function was unconditionally putting the array of spells in another table, probably to handle the case when a monster doesn't have spells. This commit uses this (empty) table only in the case when a monster doesn't have spells.

Don't trigger chaotic artifact weapons against dead monsters
This could happen if specifically the base *brand* of the weapon killed a monster, and even then didn't usually cause a visible problem. With chaotic Rift and Punk *specifically* (among all chaotic unrands that can currently appear in the Xom bazaar), this resulted in a crash.
Unlike other sources of brand damage, Punk's acid and distortion banishment fully reset a monster when they happen, meaning the defender's type is MONS_NO_MONSTER by the time the secon apply_brand_damage() happens. And chaos brand specifically tries to look at a monster's resists to determine what brands it can roll. Against a normal dead monster, this happens normally (and then it elects not to apply the brand at all), but against a reset monster, this causes an assert when it looks for its resists.
I think a more proper solution involves refactoring the chaos brand check, but I'd like to cherry-pick a bugfix in 0.32, so I'm going with the simpler solution with less possible side-effects for right now.

Add Grave Claw to the list of monster smitey spells
...that is used to determine whether the caster will push past allies.
As per the comment above the list, these probably should really be spell flags (or maybe a flag on the monster itself instead??) There are quite a few things which would theoretically qualify to be on this list, but I'm not filling it out right now as this would cause monster behavior changes that may or may not be positive and shouldn't be done so close to release.
Will aim to do something with it in 0.33, though. 

30fde11914 | 2024-08-28 18:18:18 -0230 | DracoOmega
Significantly decrease monster Grave Claw damage
While this isn't used on any normal monsters (yet?) and scary ghosts with it can mostly be avoided, wizard apostles (especially early ones) could be disproportionately deadly to fight with the numbers the spell currently has.
(I'll probably take a closer look if anything else gets this in 0.33, but for now I feel a quick fix is warranted.)

Prevent a crash with a phantom mirrored Blorkula being killed
Cleaning up enchantments on Blorkla before 'saving' them prior to bat split was also deleting the abjuration timer, causing them to die mid-split. Ideally, I'd like to let them just split into summoned bats, but there's no easy way at present to delete enchantments *other* than abjuration. So instead, just prevent summoned Blorklas from splitting.
This makes me a little sad, but it's so niche a situation that I can't justifying the refactoring that might be involved post feature-freeze. Maybe some future time?

Fix a possible crash with Xom fake shatter
It tried to modify the quantity of the large rocks created *after* they were placed on terrain, but if the location selected to place them was lava, the rock would already be destroyed by the time the code attempted to modify it.
It would be easy enough just to not try to place rocks in lava at all, but the sizzling splashes caused by them seems flavorfully appropriate enough to me.

Make recruitable apostles disappear when you change floor
Previously, if you were off-level when the recruit timer expired, the apostle would remain wandering on that floor forever. Instea, end the timer immediately if you leave the floor.
I'm a *tiny* bit uncertain about whether this could catch a player off-guard by ending the window prematurely, but it's relatively consistent with other uses of good-neutral orcs and there's probably not many situations where a player needs to leave a floor immediately, and still plans to come back and recruit afterward.

Stop auto-explore rest over deep water with expiring temp flight
If the player had temporary flight and was over deep water or lava, pressed autoexplore, and was injured enough for autoexplore to rest first, the game would skip past the expiring flight warning instantly and activate emergency flight (potentially draining the player quite a bit for no good reason).
It feels like autoexplore rest probably just shouldn't ignore force_mores at all (this was already a default force_more), but for the moment adding the message to runrest_stop_message fixes the immediate problem.

Don't let cosmetic clouds block catoplepas breath (among other things)
We've established reasonably clear rules about cloud overwriting by now, and cosmetic (ie: harmless, non-opaque) clouds are supposed to be overwritable by everything. This is true in perhaps the majority of cases, but bolt::affect_place_clouds() (used mainly for placing clouds *along* a beam path) still has a check that ends prematurely if there is *any* cloud already at a given space.
This didn't even always just prevent clouds being placed in *that* space. Noxious Breath and March of Sorrows used this function to place clouds in tiles *adjacent* to the beam path and those would also be skipped if there was a cloud present. So, for instance, using Vhi's to engage Boris could give several turns of immunity to misery clouds being placed anywhere near you.
This affected at least: catoblepas breath, player green and yellow draconian breath, March of Sorrows, Mourning Wail, ushabti Death Rattle, and creating cold/steam clouds over water with cold/fire beams.
It nominally affected many other monster cloud breaths, but those placed most of their clouds outside of this function, so in practice it likely only blocked cloud placement near the monster when the monster itself was breathing far away from itself (ie: you couldn't use Vhi's or similar for any practical protection.)

Don't leak the presence of monsters in the Refrigeration targeter
The color-coding used to indicate how many allied monsters are adjacent to each monster (affecting Refrigeration's damage) leaked information on the presence of both invisible monsters and those out of the player's line of sight entirely.

Fix a niche crash with displaying future XL-based mutations
If the player already recieved a non-innate version of a mutation they were slated to receive at a later XL, the mutation preview would display an incorrect mutation level (ie: expecting that they would gain an additional level of that mutation, instead of making the level they had already gained innate.) If that level was higher than the actual max, this would cause a crash when opening the mutation menu.
(A realistic example is a felid mutating a level of fur at random, resulting in the mutation preview thinking they will gain Fur 4 at XL 12)

Allow casting BBB on deep water (Dilly)

Fix Shadowslip having a misleading duration when used repeatedly (Acrobat)
Using Shadowslip while it was already active would *set* the duration of the misdirection effect on all enemies to a rolled duration, while the visual change to your shadow was *added* to the duration of its curent transformation. This meant that if you used it again before it wore off, the effect would expire long before it 'looked' like your shadow had returned to normal.
Now the shadow visual transformation should better match the duration of the mechanical effect.

fix: Don't mark certain spells as self enchantment
A number spells are marked as self enchantments despite not setting any kind of duration or enchantment on the caster itself. These are mostly demon-related summon spells, a few conjurations that create monsters (e.g. Marshlight and Conjure Ball Lightning), as well as Phantom Mirror and Spawn Tentacles. For the non-summoning spells, having this flag leads to them not being considered as ranged spells. For Spawn Tentacles, there's even an explicit check to override this! This commit removes the self enchantment spell flag on the aforementioned spells. It also removes checks in the monster casting code for some of these spells that were only needed because of this flag.
One subtle aspect affected by this commit is a monster's second spell cast attempt. If a monster rolls a targeted spell for its action and is unable to find a target, a second casting attempt is made, and 50% of the time this second check only considers self enchantment spells. So this change effectively reduces the frequency monsters would cast these spells if they also have a spell that can somehow fail to target. However this frequency reduction is very small in practice for the monsters affected by this change. For example, I have tested orc sorcerers who are in LOS but unable to target the player with bolt of drain/paralyze, and they still readily cast Summon Demon. Monsters that don't have targeted spells in addition to these spells will see no change at all.
Not including summons nor spells that make conjured monsters as ranged attacks doesn't make a lot of sense and should be revisited in a future commit. In terms of player safety, many monster summoners create summons with "proper" ranged attacks or superior terrain traversal compared to the summoner. And conjured monsters certainly pose an acute threat to the player at range. I want to make extra sure I understand all the implications of designating summon spells as ranged attacks for monsters, although I'm fairly sure there are no issues. For now, the only change in this regard is removing an explicit exclusion for Conjure Ball Lightning as a ranged spell. Lom Lobon is the only monster with this spell and has Glaciate, another ranged spell, so this has no in-game effect.
Finally, Repel Missiles and Berserker Rage are clearly self enchantments and so are given the self enchantment flag by this commit. For Berserker Rage, this means that bear monsters will no longer be flagged as ranged monsters.

Allow no_tele_into tags (and some others) to actually work for subvaults
Map tags which applied fprops (such as no_tele_into, no_tide, no_jiyva) did nothing at all when attached to a subvault. Most of these were not used this way, as far as I can tell, but no_tele_into *was* used several times - notably in the S-branch preview chambers for grunt_ashenzari_visionary - meaning that it was possible for the player to teleport (or take a hatch) into a place from which there was no escape and also many wildly out of depth monsters.
Now, the same set of fprop tags that work with parent vaults should also be respected by subvaults.
(It's worth nothing that kprops applied to subvaulted glyphs by the parent vault are *also* ignored when a subvault is merged, so there was really no good way to do this sort of thing prior to this commit, despite what one might expect.)
This fixes #3979

Fix a slew of frightening issues with pacified monster pathing
Pacified monsters were intended to path directly to the nearest level exit and then leave the level. Sometimes they did this! And some other times, deeply broken things happened. Where do I even begin...
First of all, there was a small chance each turn for a pacified monster to give up on whatever exit it was moving towards (1-in-40 for human intelligence monsters and 1-in-120 otherwise). The comments implied that this was intended to help 'stuck' monsters look for a different staircase instead, but the code never let them ACTUALLY look for a different one. Instead, it would cause them to just start wandering vaguely in the general vacinity of the nearest exit instead (possibly more than LoS range away from it). Maybe they would randomly step on it at some point! But probably not. (Also, if they were far enough from the exit at this point and mindless, they would likely just wander around where they already were)
Also, if they rolled the random chance to stop moving towards an exit, that exit would also become unusable to all subsequently pacified things (until either ALL exits on a floor got marked that way, or the code hit a 1-in-20 chance when trying to find an exit for a pacified monster to regenerate the cache from scratch). So they could give up, and then also cause future monsters to ignore nearby stairs, too.
Also, for some reason, the code considered teleport traps as valid 'exits' from the level, but it was only possible to trigger them 'leaving' by stepping on one if they were also wearing -tele items (since otherwise they would teleport before the 'leave level' check happened. If they landed nearby, they would keep on walking into the trap over and over again, trying desperately to accomplish something useful. If they DID have a -tele item, on the other hand, stepping onto the trap would cause them to cease to exist without even a message.
And most terrifyingly of all: the code used a cache of level exits on a floor to avoid having to search for all of them each time a monster was pacified. BUT THIS CACHE WAS NOT DISCARDED IF YOU LEFT THE FLOOR. This meant that pacified monsters would try to path towards where exits were ON A PREVIOUS FLOOR, and not the current one. And if they actually reached the coordinates of one of those, they would simply vanish without a message. As near as I can tell, this has likely been broken in this way for a very, very long time.
Anyway! The code is different now. The cache is properly regenerated on each new floor, monsters actually attempt to do a pathfinding check when looking for an exit (to avoid the very real original problem of just being stuck staring at an exit across water until they rolled the slim chance to started wandering in place instead). They will even look for another exit if the one they are moving towards becomes inaccessible during their journey (detected somewhat crudely by 'has passed a turn without a valid step forward', which isn't perfect, but is a hell of a lot improved).
If there are somehow NO exits they can path towards at all, they will properly give up on trying and just wander around. The odds of being in a completely disconnected spot (ie: on the other side of deep water) and then this changing later (eg: by something teleporting them) feels slim enough not to worry about it.
Also, teleport traps no longer count as valid exits. (Shafts and Gateways to the Infinite Horrors of the Abyss still do, because they're funny)

I forgot we're in feature freeze. Will merge this in 0.32.
This reverts commit ba2c541246222192d693b6520cb875a9e2dbfda5. 

ba2c541246 | 2024-01-10 10:25:25 -0800 | Nicholas Feinberg
Simplify off-hand attacks
Off-hand attacks' trigger chance scaled on UC and on XL, unlike all other aux attacks, which scaled only on XL (if anything). This felt inconsistent (a punch scales on UC but a kick doesn't?), and was confusing for players who misunderstood the UC skill descriptions and thought off-hand punches were more than a consolation prize for being shieldless.
Change their trigger to scale purely based on XL instead. (Damage still scales based on UC, for now, but perhaps should also be XL based.)
It'd be great to add a description for these somewhere - no idea where it'd live. Ideally there'd be both a manual section and somewhere in-game where you could learn more about your current off-hand damage and chance.

Remove some obsolete autopickup lua
This code was added in a35564097f (2015) to prevent autopicking multiple elemental evokers, which have generated only once per game since 5db6f66fbb.

Autopickup elemental evokers by default
Excluding the horn of Geryon, because it doesn't currently exist on the \ menu, and we want players to be able to manually disable these if desired.
Possibly the horn should be enabled in both places, since it is treated internally as an xp evoker, but I'm not touching that here.

fix: a very old off-by-one error in `join_the_dots`
I've convinced myself that this is not intentional, good to fix, and safe to fix. We'll see -- this pathfinding method is heavily used. The issue appears to originate from 883396a6ffc, and is that `cur.insert(cur.begin() + random2(cur.size()), *ai);` cannot insert at the end of `cur`. Since `cur` starts empty in the relevant loop, and at most three things can be inserted, this insertion or the resulting behavior is completely deterministic in a number of circumstances and at least always deterministic in what the third element is if there are three. The most visible one I am aware of was when pathfinding near a masked region (a vault), if the path gets pushed N or S by a mask, and needs to eventually get the other direction, emergent behavior can (must?) cause the path to continue deterministically N or S until it hits something (e.g. the map boundary), and then make a loop back, also moving straight. This often looks quite weird, especially if there is a long distance to the map boundary. Example (I was able to replicate this exact case using the seed and spent some time investigating it):
https://www.reddit.com/r/dcss/comments/wl9yrm/odd_shallow_water_formation_should_i_be_looking/
This commit also includes some useful debug code that I wouldn't want to write again, and tries to comment the pathfinding part of this algorithm to the best of my understanding (it's odd). I've also isolated the rng here, to try to control the impact of calling jtd and random draws before and after for any future changes to this algorith (since it had a very unpredictable effect due to the varying number of draws). This may or may not be futile.

The lack of esc is one of the more immediate issues for using an on-screen keyboard, and using backspace seems like a workable solution. Backspace is prominent on these any touch virtual keyboard I've seen and would otherwise just go (almost) unused on touch input (in fact sending a fairly useless ctrl-h, which maybe needs a webtiles workaround in general). This only affects key input events handled via the mobile input button, so doesn't affect normal play or touch devices with physical keyboards.

fix: select first travelable item in stash search
Some players use this menu as a quick shortcut while collecting items that they are sure already exist, and I guess having to hit ','+enter is too much work. This lets enter immediately travel to the first travelable item.
I'm undecided as of yet what to do with the lettering: I respect that many players have some muscle memory for ctrl-f a, but on the other hand, I don't think the fact that a kind of dodgy UI decision is enshrined in people's muscle memory is a good reason to keep it. I'm definitely opposed to making items on the current position fully unselectable in this UI, as was done (for carried items) in response to https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20374. This makes the whole UI less usable and there's a ton of players who don't need or want the reversion that was (rather unconstructively) advocated for in that old thread.

feat: Allow spectral ego on certain weapons
Currently the spectral ego is only allowed on two-handed weapons or the one-handed club base type, even for artefacts and vault-defined weapons that request the spectral ego. Yet the scroll of brand weapon bypasses this exception, allowing spectral as a result on any one-handed melee weapon, to help make that scroll more exciting. We already have the weapon property data to limit spectral to only club or staves on mundane generated items. This commit removes the handedness restriction for spectral, thus allowing it to generate on all artefact melee weapons and on vault-defined melee weapons that specifically ask for that ego. This won't increase the amount of spectral too much and makes the ego's logic consistent. It's now simply a melee-only ego that's allowed on artefacts, like other such egos, but is limited to clubs and staves for mundane weapon generation.

feat: Adjust monster-placing Elf vaults
Most changes are to refactor syntax of recently merged Elf branch monster vaults by nicolae. We use numeric glyphs for monsters and simplify statements. A couple vaults have more significant changes, as described here:
nicolae_elf_defective_weapons_storage:
Instead of having various helpless and inneffective dancing weapons, rework this vault to place dancing weapons that all have some kind of permanent debuff (and hence are still "defective"), but have other aspects allowing them to still be significant threats. Break weapons up into three tiers by type of ego we'll give as well as type of debuff: fast acting chaos weapons get blindness, slower acting distortion weapons get slowness, so they'll be slower than normal speed, and we use highest quality base types for venom, but make them "damaged" (-1 to -4 enchant) and permanently corroded.
The vault is now a runed door vault since it's fairly dangerous and having these weird weapons leak out into the level would ruin the theme. Not to mention that the blind weapons need to stay in a fairly confined area to be effective. It's layout has gotten a slight trim to completely reveal the loot inside. Since I worked with nicolae to re-imagine this vault, we agreed to rename it to nicolae_gammafunk_elf_defective_weapons_storage.
nicolae_elf_double_double_double_trouble:
This is a runed door vault, but the current layout means a player might be forced to open the door to reach otherwise disconnected areas in Elf. We like to avoid forcing players to take runed doors, and although two blade masters with two double swords is not an especially dangerous threat that would normally warrant a runed door, it's helpful for the specific theme of this vault. So mark the doors and sealed areas of the vault as opaque for connectivity purposes. Add more runed door to keep the two blademasters separated, increasing the visual theme. Upgrade one of the blademasters' double swords to either good_item or randart, thus allowing them to pose a bit more of a threat. Finally, introduce a star_item and two normal item loot pieces on both sides of the vault, giving some incentive to open the vault for those who wouldn't benefit from the weapons.

feat: Adjust some Elf entry vaults
For nicolae_elf_arrival_dilemma, technically we shouldn't require passage through a runed door like this to the rest of a level, but I'm allowing it in this case. The right side of the vault is a perfectly ordinary encounter with four monsters, hence always a reasonable option for those with basic preparation for Elf. The runed door for this side fits the "border check" aspect, which allows inexperienced players to re-evaluate their decision before it's too later. The two choices feel one-dimensional, and a single high level elf feels a bit sad alone behind a runed door. So we up the runed door aspect, adding a second high level elf to the left section and two high quality loot pieces, also adding one normal quality loot item to the right section. Give this entry half weight so that it's not too common.
For nicolae_elf_arrival_no_cutting_in_line, ensure we place at least two monsters in each of the two thematic groups. The odds of rolling no monsters in the orc group or no monsters in the elf group are not that small, and if either happens the vault's theme is ruined. This increases the size of each group by 1.5 monsters on-average, but the groups are only 3.5 monsters each, and the monsters used here are common for Orc and late dungeon.
Some glyph and syntax cleanups for this and two other entry vaults.

Tweak boulder beetle rolling AI
Boulder beetles currently continue rolling even if they don't have a viable move, which leads to them rolling in-place behind monsters or damaging clouds. This does confer a benefit to the monster should a viable path open up before the roll enchantment expires, but is counter to the player expectation that rolling implies to movement. This commit has boulder beetles stop rolling if they have no viable move, and likewise prevents them from attempting to roll if there is no viable move. Although this is a slight nerf to boulder beetles, they're quite worthy foes already.
This implementation uses the monster tracking info use by thorn hunters, specifically tracking what our next viable move is. It would be ideal to have better fidelity about this move information, since it doesn't necessarily contain the move a monster would end up choosing. A later codepath ends up trying a backup move location if current choice proves unviable, but we don't have access to this data.

Adjust troves fees
Now that agility potions have become stabbing potions, their situational utility makes them a poor choice for trove fees. Scrolls of fog and fear are added as trove fees as well, since they are both fairly strong defensive consumables, although an argument could be made that fear's utility decreases as the player progresses in the game. Both scrolls are given the same fee as blinking, since they have the same generation weight, but it's also reasonable to make them cost more. Scrolls of summoning are also a good candidate for trove fees, but I'm not adding them for now since it requires some uselessness checks if the player has sacrificed Love under Ru.

It's possible to cause an overflow in the spell failure calculations with extreme encumbrance values, achieved by having 0 or 1 strength and wearing CPA.

Don't generate tremorstones in stacks (this would cause crashes since they're now non-stackable), and don't generate tremorstones again once they've been seen.

Fix a broken alphashops entry (#12262)
alphashops places items by subtype only and doesn't generate items that require "ego" lines, so changing harm from an amulet to a scarf means it should be removed from the vault (since the "S" shop already places scarves).
Since scarves are defined purely by their ego and are more like jewellery than other armour slots, it'd probably also be fine to rework the vault to remove scarves from "S" and place each ego in the relevant shop.

The wield weapon menu can now be brought up even if there are no weapons around---indeed, even if there is nothing at all around. The first is because you can wield non-weapons with *. The second is because you always have your bare hands, and I am anticipating a menu where basic stats for weapons are displayed alongside the options (a long-standing feature request).
This commit implements * to show all items. This preserves the current ability to wield non-weapons and fulfills a TODO marked in the existing use_an_item code, so that * can be used for reading scrolls and quaffing as well. However, my own feeling is that this is not a usefull bit of UI complexity from the player's side. You cannot quaff non-potions, read non-scrolls, or wear non-wearables anyway. And as far as I know the only practical use for wielding non-weapons is breadswinging, a niche speedrunning tactic. I suggest cutting this and cutting the ability to wield non-weapons.
This commit makes wielding or wearing from the floor take the same amount of time as wielding or wearing from your inventory. I think this is the least surprising UI and is consistent with the current behaviour for quaffing and reading from the floor (10 aut). I anticipate this means speedrunners and the hyper-optimal will want to sometimes pick items up by wielding them from the floor (e.g., wielding arrows to pick them up).
[ Committer's note: Wielding arrows from the floor to pick them up then switching back to the previously wielded item costs 15 aut and 2 turns. Just picking up the arrows costs 10. Whether turns or aut are used for scoring, just picking up arrows is faster. ]

Fix crash when repeating menu evocations (gammafunk)
When repeating the previous command via the ` key, the UI is not fully laid out. The current implementation depends on having the menu more text default to not being visible for the UI to layout correctly.
On local tiles this isn't an issue, since scrollers render their own scrollbars, but on console the scroll position is rendered to the more, and the layout error was causing a division by zero in the position calculation.

Adjust OTR to be more turn length invariant.
Changed direct damage to use turn length in auts (instead of 10s of auts) for direct damage, and to scale odds of adding a poison stack linearly between 1 and 20 aut turn lengths (instead of 50% odds regardless of turn length.) This has the same results as previous calculation at 10 aut turns, but eliminates the incentive to 'quick-blade-swing' to add poison stacks rapidly.

Make yellow draconians' rAcid a true mutation (11381)
Previously, yellow draconians' rAcid was hardcoded into the game and they were given a fake mutation description in the species yaml file. This had the problem that when transforming into statue or lich form, the fake mutation description was greyed out on the A screen despite continuing to function.
Therefore, add a new acid resistance mutation, MUT_ACID_RESISTANCE, and give it to yellow draconians. Remove the special-casing for yellow draconians' rAcid at the same time, and add a new minor version to manually give yellow draconians in progress their rAcid mutation.
Additionally, add back "(rCorr)" to the mutation description on the A screen. This was lost when species definitions were converted to yaml files.

Two sanity-check fixes
Both of these, I think, were leading to memory corruption. In the case of the tileweb.cc change, if you were to set the number of ui state channels to 0, and then try to push a ui update to channel 0, this could lead to memory corruption if your stdlib let it happen. In the case of the formatted_string change, what's being pushed back is really an fs_op, and so the constructor needs to be called, in which case it is really better as an emplace_back; I'm not 100% sure that this would be bad on all (or any) stdlib implementations (since it might rely on an implicit copy constructor or something), but I definitely got an lldb backtrace with a crash inside this call.

Adjust Harold's attack, armour, spells, and depth (mikee)
Harold doesn't post much of a threat in his current incarnation. In later dungeon and lair levels he has a difficult time doing appreciable damage. Additionally his spell set of bolt of fire and emergency blink don't particularly match well with this bounty hunter theme.
This commit increases Harold's base attack damage by 75%, and gives him better armour on-average. Additionally he loses Bolt of Fire and Emergency Blink, gaining Harpoon Shot (currently only seen on swamp worms and iron giants) and Sentinel's Mark. Sentinel's Mark should make Harold more of a complicating factor where he appears. Harpoon Shot prevents player escape, allowing him to put that improved melee to more use, and restores a bit of ranged damage from losing Bolt of Fire. Harpoon loses Emergency Blink since it plays poorly with Harpoon Shot, and since Blink isn't an especially effective spell now that Harold mostly does melee damage.
Finally, Harold's placement has been moved up so that he places on D:7-11, Lair:1-2, and Orc:1 (formerly on D:10-12, Orc:1-2, Lair:1-4). He should be more effective in those earlier Dungeon levels, and D:7-9 happen to have some of the lowest unique placement already.

Hopefully fix menu scrolling in WebTiles (aidanh, robotcentaur, 11551)

Add server -> client scroller synchronization
This commit sends all client-side scrollers' scroll events to webtiles clients. The webtiles client responds by scrolling the scroller found within the top popup, if there is only one such scroller.
With this change, formatted scrollers now send two scroll update messages: the pre-existing scroll update from UIHookedScroller, and this newly-added update. The former currently provides client -> server synchronization (currently lacking for other scrollers), and so webtiles clients will ignore new scroll messages if the top popup is a formatted scroller.
There are race conditions here, since scroll update messages do not identify their target widget.

This adds a way to trigger wall jump via an ability that has you target a wall position; the targeter highlights the landing square and any affected monsters. The behavior of wall jump activated this way should be identical to that of move-triggered wall jump, but this is safer and easier to understand.
This ability is always available if the player has wall jump, but doesn't replace move-triggered wall jump. For safer movement, move-triggered wall jump can be disabled in rc by setting `wall_jump_move = false` (default: true) leaving only the ability. The `wall_jump_prompt` option remains, but by default is false.

Use random food tiles for rations
This is based on a bunch of ideas that came up in ##crawl-dev last week (|amethyst, wheals, maybe others). It may or may not be a good idea UI-wise with this exact tile set (since all the tiles are very focused on one food concept, and might give the wrong impression) but it does make the food tiles, and especially food shops, less monotonous.
This approach normalizes to the basic tile (currently the old bread ration tile) in inventory. I've also brought back some old tiles, though I left out the ones I found hardest to identify as food. Handles save compat for the inventory tile name.

Disable gnolls in the stable release
After some discussion it was felt that there needs to be more work on this species, specifically the way it tries to achieve its aim of pushing the player to learn many skills. Several crawl skills yield high reward for low XP investment, which is a general problem with crawl's skill system, but the Gnoll aptitude system especially pushes the player toward these skills. Crawl already does push players to train a variety of of the most impactful skills, so if Gnolls are to be the species that pushes players to hybridize in a meaningfully different way, it would be better if it didn't try to prevent specialization using aptitude decreases or skill level cutoffs. A secondary problem is that gnolls require more careful checking of skill levels since each skill aptitude independently changes based on the skill's training.
One alternative being considered is to lock Gnolls into very low stat levels, but to still give them high aptitudes. This or any other rework will likely not be ready in time for play-testing before feature freeze, so this commit disables Gnolls in stable. When re-enabling Gnolls for stable, simply revert this commit.

Disable Wu Jian in stable
Making this god trunk-only for the upcoming 0.20 release. There's a general consensus that the god needs more work, and the major idea being explored (merging some powers into Uskayaw) will not be ready in time for the feature freeze. It's also possible that the god will remain as a separate god but with substantial changes to god powers. Trunk players can still play-test Wu Jian, but altars to the god will be unavailable in stable.
If re-enabling Wu in stable, simply revert this commit. Note that the two commits preceeding this (d9b63d7e and e512d5f5) should not be reverted as they make actions like this easier in the future.

Removed important methods from within ASSERTs
If asserts are not switched on during compilation, these methods are not called, resulting in strange behaviour in-game (mobs don't follow the player downstairs)

Make Gozag's Call Merchant always place shops at the player's feet
Making shop placement depend on which dungeon levels have been generated results in weird behaviour for spoiled players, such as saving late levels of D to allow them to still generate shops there before the ability starts placing shops in Vaults and then Depths, making the shops generally inaccessible until a rune is found. It also results in the ability suddenly working in a completely different way once all of D/V/U are explored.
It might be possible to come up with some alternate implementation where shops still require some exploration before being placed, but without the spoiler issues and inconsistent behaviour, but in the meantime (for 0.17) this is hopefully a simple improvement.

It had been assigned to Y, but that meant a Hill Orc of Kiku would get the Beogh pitch on Z.
I considered V, but ontoclasm's suggestion of N is just as distinctive and perhaps more mnemonic, not that it matters much for an ability you will use at most once.

Restore capital letters for one-time god abilities.
Those letters were assigned by _find_ability_slot(), but that function was not even called for god abilities. Now it is.
Try to keep the "normal" a-e god abilities in fixed slots, even if earlier abilities are remapped. That is, "ability_slot = Berserk:z" shouldn't cause Trog's Hand to shift down to 'a'. This isn't a change in behaviour (that's how set_god_abilities worked before), but did require a change to find_ability_slot's signature.

Remove unique annotations for god gifts and pacification (dpeg, #9475)
If you convert Saint Roka his annotation follows you around even though he's an ally. Additionally, prior to this patch, a annotation was only removed for a pacified unique if the player saw the unique leave. This has been changed to remove the annotation on pacification.
This has a possible edge case that I don't think can actually happen. If the unique is pacified and then becomes hostile again before leaving out of the player's sight the annotation won't be re-added, which could lead to a player being surprised. If this can happen (maybe with clouds?) it's far less frequent than an annotation remaining because the player did not see the monster leave.

Prevent infinite recursion via frenzied twins (#9137)
- Don't attempt to make a frenzied twin hostile since it won't work. - Don't convert one twin if the other dies insane. - Refactor some common twin-finding code into a separate function. - Hold off on upgrading them until after they come out of it. Duvessa won't be able to berserk while insane or exhausted anyways, and Dowan can't really cast while insane, so this mostly affects when Dowan's spell set changes and the message printed. - A twin that comes out of frenzy reverts to the same attitude as their twin (or hostile if that twin is still frenzied or dead). This, I think, makes the most sense, since the only sources of frenzy are: the monster spell (which neither has), the AoE player spell, and the needle. And, let's face it, if both get frenzied by a monster using needles, it's probably the player's fault. - Add "frenzied and insane" to monsters' debug descriptions.
[Committer's note: Lifted a comma_separated_line call out of both sides of an if; and fixed braces. -nfm]

Remove species dummy monsters from vaults (minmay, #8119)
(I wanted to take my own spin on most of these vault changes, but the issue served as a base on finding and weeding out all of these monsters that shouldn't really spawn in places as threats for the sake of simplicity and avoiding redundancy. Of course, humans are special due to being too bloody ubiquitious to cleanly remove half as easily, and items / display cases are fine.)
(Also, this cuts octopodes, as they've been recently de-spawned, fits in a few random dumb hd redefinition clearings, and removes not-really-available-for-comparsion formicid, octopode, and deep dwarf zombies from the extended zombies player-species list.)

I'll debug it properly later, but I want 0.13 releasable for now.

Revert multiple branch exits being DEBUG_FATAL-fatal.
Hasn't been fixed yet, is not something important, and hampers looking for other bugs automatically.
This reverts commit a40525a78886e345c5dbf9b0cbbc938193d07bf7. 

00c14ad2ca | 2013-10-09 11:36:46 +0200 | Adam Borowski
Flag a bunch of stuff as "unfinished".
Stops them from spawning in some cases.
Not wind drakes, as they're already on drac summoners' list.

Reorder checks in forget_map.
An expensive LOS check was done first, while most of the map can be rejected on the account of it being not known in the first place, or being too close to the player.
On a profiler run, this managed to score 10%.
(cherry picked from commit c71e4c71abacc07063af2d2f72da2d5eb5f21093)

Fix a crash with magic shield if rotting kills you.
Sounds extremely niche? ZotDef at least.

Fix equipment properties getting truncated.
Again, another case of "80 characters should be enough for anybody".
It was wrong both in the game (except for tinyterms) and in character dumps.
(cherry picked from commit 221f82edb2bbfd667bc9a842dc4ca0cf82c18066)

Fix a warning.

ffb8eab3c4 | 2013-09-22 22:53:09 +0200 | Adam Borowski
Shorten the abyssal generator depth to 32 bits (fixes an infinite loop).
A good enough fix would be to re-cast the depth to unsigned during unmarshalling so it doesn't get sign-extended before putting into an uint64_t variable. Bits above 32 can't be ever used, though -- even bits over 31 hardly ever do (initial value is < 0x80000000 but increases with time).

Butcher and chop up the config file message.
There's some nasty breakage in tiles that causes messages to get miswrapped and mixed with remnants of old text. Hard-wrapping the string and padding it with spaces is not the best fix (to say it lightly...), but let's not delay the release any more. 

b287ffcfde | 2012-09-30 23:40:25 +0200 | Adam Borowski
Add a big scary warning if you have an old config file.

Fix rod generation in vaults being 5 times higher than it should.

Revert "Replace minor healing by heal other for orc priests."
It doesn't work in the emergency spell slot and it's a bit late to fix it for 0.11.
This reverts commit dbf340badc878effed80cf6d9b1cb95ea3478854.

Upon invalidating mcache, remove all references to it as well.
Otherwise, it's possible a new monster will occupy a slot we have a dangling reference to -- and then get decremented, triggering an assert.
Really, now that we have map_knowledge, we shouldn't save the mcache nor the references at all, but that's 0.10 stuff. (cherry picked from commit 319ca4e023f349442d3869baca2745c6e0db44fc)

Fix the "plain" item during acquirement not getting properly cleared.
If you received a helmet with non-plain description and then the code decided to give you gloves instead, they could get a description out of range.
On all items, this could result in invalid "runed" as well, since plus2 was non-zero. (cherry picked from commit 85eca0af3e3edfea65a081d44621e957ee85149a)
