NetHack VS EvilHack

My configuration of Eglot is simple: (use-package eglot :hook (c-mode . eglot-ensure)). And it works for a single c file. But when I use this setup to read the code of NetHack, it doesn't work for linting and definition finding (M-.), even though eglot connection has no problem. I observed the same problems when reading the code of SQLite. Some specific problems I observed:

Since nethack 3.1.0, the source for nethack's "bestiary" has been dat/data.base, in plain text, processed into a file named "data" when building the program. The unprocessed file intended for the nethack's next version can be seen at https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.7/dat/data.base (it's quite long).

I am not really 100% sure what you are looking for. Are you looking for the actual picture? It is built during compilation from this uuencoded file https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.7/win/win32/splash.uu

xNetHack is based on NetHack 3.7.0, and there was a bug (now fixed) in NetHack 3.7.0 that caused stair destinations to be messed up after a game is recovered. I wonder that has happened here: perhaps you are playing a version of xNetHack that inherited the bug from NetHack 3.7.0, this is a recovered game.

They won't be afraid of music in 3.7.

This is a bug that was fixed in the upcoming 3.7, in this commit. Basically, if the random filler created a space that was made inaccessible by the fixed level design getting overlaid on top of the random filler, a door could be created to make that space accessible.

There is not a comprehensive list of changes in existence. This one comes close but doesn't contain everything https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.7/doc/fixes3-7-0.txt

I have an open github issue requesting that intrinsic invisibility be made only temporary, not permanent. That would make the invisibility mechanic more interesting since you could decide multiple times per game whether you want it, and extrinsic invisibility items would become more useful.

Pretty sure same thing, but that's also got a repo. EvilHack has a step-by-step in the README though if that helps. It's not super typical to publish binaries for variants that are actively developed anymore, I think.

This is now a thing (for next version) - https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack/commit/76ddd2c0a300f7c6ce97af0074ff166052f946c9

The Hand of Vecna - previously, if you defeated Vecna, there was only a 50% chance that the Eye of Vecna would drop, or nothing at all. Now, it's 50/50 for either the Eye or the Hand. The stats for the Hand of Vecna are many, and can be seen here - https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack/commit/f697fd9bca00ae89618f71d84912947525d39e5f - suffice to say, it is an extremely powerful artifact, but its use comes with consequences if you're willing to accept them.

Some back story: because abusing your alignment and being able to know when it occurs is significantly more important in EvilHack than vanilla, I had added more chances for feedback when it does occur (see this commit). Somewhere, it looks like I added a pline where one wasn't needed. Or something. I've noticed it as well, just walking along, exploring the dungeon, minding my own business, then out of the blue 'you feel guilty'.

EvilHack version 0.7.1 has been available for public play for a few months now, but as of today it has been officially released - https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack/releases - the source code and windows binary can be downloaded, and ready to play locally on windows. The list of changes found in this version can be found here - https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack/blob/master/doc/evilhack-changelog.md#version-071 - a couple new objects and a new monster made their way into this version, but the majority of changes for 0.7.1 were bugfixes.

Check this out - https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack/commit/d359ea85ed8d9c504a64b6a52a402ae190c71bf1 - and there was a follow-up commit to address a minor issue with the original commit.
