Angband 4.0.3 released

[Nick]

Angband 4.0.3 is now available for Windows, OS X and as source. Rephial will update in due course.

Main features are more rooms from Nomad, fizzix's stair skip constant, and more bugfixing. Plan is now to try and make some real progress on the 4.1 plans.

The changelist:

Changes:

• Add stair-skip constant, making stairs go up or down that number of levels
• Another 200 room templates (for a total of 500)
• A number of code improvements, mainly from PowerWyrm
• Shorten inventory prompt, put overweight info in 'C' screen

Bugfixes:

• Correct OOD boost for object feelings
• Really fix lack of artifacts this time
• Make RNexus prevent hostile teleport level
• Stop crash from summoning traps
• Improve object ID from ball spells
• Stop game hanging on empty quiver
• Stop crash during inventory item damage by elements
• Stop auto-ignore from cancelling monster detection
• Make sure all changes to equipment are counted
• Correct monster energy/turn order, stopping double moves by slower monsters
• Correct food descriptions
• Improve quitting in OS X

Good job! Hope I'll find time for some playing again soon.

From all stuff I've reported, here are the last things that have not been tackled for 4.0.3:
- "command_menu" in ui-context is never freed (there's no reason to make it static too)
- dropping missiles from the quiver doesn't refresh the missile count in the inventory subwindow immediately
- picking up missiles from the floor doesn't refresh the equipment subwindow immediately
- uniques with the S_KIN flag summons "kin", while they were summoning "their minions" before
- unidentified potion of dragon breath asks for a direction, while it should simply cast a ball around the player
- "you see a Pendant <+3,+4>" when finding Ingwe (jewelry treated differently compared to other artifacts)

I think I can live with all those for now, although I'm annoyed I forgot the command_menu one.

Looking at the code, there's a "do_break" variable that's supposed to be used for SHATTER attacks, but is in fact never used.

		bool do_break = FALSE;

...

				melee_effect_handler_context_t context = {
					p,
					mon,
					rlev,
					method,
					ac,
					ddesc,
					obvious,
					blinked,
					do_break,
					damage,
				};

...

		/* Skip the other blows if necessary */
		if (do_break) break;

This variable needs to be saved for later use:

				/* Save any changes made in the handler for later use. */
				obvious = context.obvious;
				blinked = context.blinked;
				damage = context.damage;
				[B]do_break = context.do_break;[/B]

Also no check vs player death is done after applying damage, so the game still can apply cuts and stuns to a dead player, leading to funny messages.

It kills you and then it gets nasty.

Not sure if that should be fixed.

I believe that's meant to prevent Morgoth (and other shatterers) from continuing to attack the player after they've been pushed out of their current square. I know that was an issue awhile back.
