Self-PRing this to set this aside until I work on some code changes I'd been meaning to do in BN.

  • Added revert_to_itype to the various monsters that can be summoned from glyphs. This gives you a way to relocate them if they stuck somewhere, adding a bit of QoL and utility to glyphs.
  • Set aside separate monsters for cases where a monster can be both summoned by spell and glyph, so you can't bypass the time limit on summoned monsters.
  • Updated spells where relevant.

I set this aside at first because of two critical annoyances:

  • The "wanna scoop yer boi up and hold monster gentle like hamburger?" yes/no prompt forces an extra keypress on players before they can access the pet menu. This would be an acceptable annoyance, BUT...
  • Item-ifying a monster deletes any bags or items carried on them. This is a big thing and probably easy to do by accident given the prompt.

cataclysmbnteam/Cataclysm-BN#1931 will fix this on BN's end once merged. But for players of the DDA version the only options will be "don't give them this feature" or "tell them to cope" since no telling if that would ever get fixed on DDA's end.
