Dibbler Patch

Version 1.0, 18 February 2004

This patch adds the item "sausage-inna-bun" to NetHack.
This also converts a room in the Tourist Locate level to a delicatessen, manned by Mr. Dibbler.

Text of the patch
The patch is relative to NetHack 3.4.3. This patch will break bones/save file compatibility, due to the added object.
The important bits of code are marked with #ifdef DIBBLER (or in one case, #ifdef TOURIST).

Details

Sausages-inna-bun have 80 nutrition, weigh 5 units, and are eaten in one turn.
The generation probability is 5 (0.5%), at the expense of tripe rations.
Sausages-inna-bun are created with 60% cursed, 30% uncursed and 10% blessed.
Eating a sausage-inna-bun abuses wisdom, and can also have one of the following effects: Dibbler's shop will contain, apart from the usual food, four sausages-inna-bun and an ice-box containing four rat corpses.
Probabilities of sausage effects, based on the status of the sausage:

Effect Cursed Uncursed Blessed
Food poisoning 5/16 1/32 0
Nausea 5/8 15/32 7/64
No effect 1/16 15/32 35/64
Experience 0 1/32 21/64
Poison resistance 0 0 1/64

To do:

Improve some of the messages given.
