thanks for RL time wasted I was wondering where to get that!

btw what represents a fountain is an nonstandard ascii character (⌠ in my game)[Quote]

Virginity is already tracked. Never ended a game of NetHack, "You were Celibate"?[Quote]

Note that only engraving Elbereth is checked for. All uses of Elbereth to scare monsters (my interpretation of "invoked the word of protection") should break the conduct. This includes the two guaranteed Elbereth squares at Sokoban and the Castle.

The correct solution to Dunamos's problem is probably to use sengr_at(), which ignores headstones.

From personal testing, it seems that adding a check to monflee() for whether mtmp->mux/y is on an Elbereth square works (however, the player might also lose Elberethless if the monster *thinks* that the hero's displaced or invisible image is on Elbereth).[Quote]

A great patch, thanks. Unfortunately, there's a loophole in the "Elbereth" checking. The patch tracks the conduct in the "shows wisdom" test, which does:

!strcmp(s, "Elbereth")

However: If you write "ELBERETH" (all upper-case) or "x Elbereth" (word in middle of string) monsters will still flee, but you won't break the conduct. I think the check needs to be case-insensitive and match Elbereth anywhere in the writing--you can use strstri() instead of !strcmp() and that will do it. (This is arguably a bug in nethack itself, but it becomes a loophole when combined with the conduct tracking.)[Quote]
