DESCFORM_F
DESCFORM_F
is an interesting FORMAT mask as it
has an effect in a couple places. In
PrintStatusLine, if it is turned on, a
couple spaces are added before the location’s name is printed. In
DescribePlace, there is an extra blank line
between the room’s initial_desc or
long_desc before room contents are listed.
These are both “Infocom”-ish type behaviors, although both were also
handled a little differently by Infocom, too (Infocom’s status bars
handle the score/turn counter differently, and all room contents get
extra blank lines, not just the one). Because of this,
Replace PrintStatusLine and
Replace DescribePlace use DESCFORM_F
to
further Infocom emulation.
