[Feature request] Gradually integrate some interface modernizations and backports from other variants and 3.7.0?

Open ghost opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Not sure if it would be too difficult/time consuming or interesting for you to try but I would love to see:

About interface and QoL:

  • Backports of some newer options like: disclose, hilite_status (mainly to highlight changes in my attributes), the ability to directly open the relevant inventory window when trying to (E)at, (R)ead, etc

  • Nethack4 special character for corridor walls (draw_rock option), a simple (I think?) change that makes corridors and overall floors very atmospheric in my opinion

  • Prevent character from moving one square when trying to use a spell without enough Pw left (when asked for direction)

  • Curses interface? I see you've already considered this, even though it seems hard to implement for everyone

About dungeon exploring:

  • 3.7.0 Theme rooms! The main reason why I love your variant is its exciting variety (while not being nearly as unbalanced as SLEX) so I think they would fit a lot there

  • SpliceHack's dynamically generated level names, that sometimes hint at the presence of a Dungeon Feature

Secondary but very cool too:

  • Missing animations for non beam spells?
  • Up-to-date database (wiki or ingame, like SLEX) of item effects, techniques? Ingame Nethack4 descriptions are very beginner friendly

I'm still a complete noob but I love your variant. Thanks a lot for your efforts and keep it up!
