| For | NetHack 3.4.3 |
| Description | Enables you to automatically dump certain data on the (most likely) premature death of your character to a file. |
| Each time a game really ends (character either dead, quit, or ascended), you can get the dump.
The following data can be dumped: - character name, alignment, gender, race, role and stats - the final screen picture - inventory - the contents of containers you are carrying - attributes (what you get from, say, quaffing a potion of enlightenment) - known spells - vanquished monsters - genocided monsters - voluntary challenges - skills - the information on the "Goodbye" screen you see after all this and before the score list. This also includes the "killer" string that is shown on the logfile and highscore list as the reason for game ending. The dumping takes place exactly at the time when you get presented this data on the screen. Some data is dumped only if you see it on the screen, some is always dumped. Maybe some later version of the patch will dump all of this information regardless of what you decide to view.. This patch is more often known as the "dumplog patch" | |

| I added support for macro %d in the file name. It will be replaced with the date and time when the file is created. The version number is now 1.5 but the old link is still valid.[Quote] | ||

| I encountered the dump/statuscolors conflict while porting both patches to NetHack brass. The http://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Brass_interface_patch crudely resolves this by splitting one function into two similar ones.
In general, I recommend applying the dump patch after other patches, because it seems to cause conflicts.[Quote] | ||

| Brill. Thanks!
Be aware, the diffs from this patch overlap with those of the patch 'Statuscolors' - you will need a little manual tweaking to apply both patches.[Quote] | ||

| Great. I think that talking about function duplication is nitpicking since it's not exactly the same content, and having duplicate functions makes it easy to customize it even more.[Quote] | ||

| Very useful. The only issue comes from the code point of view: it's bad to duplicate the functions instead of creating an in-memory windows to dump the contents.[Quote] | ||
